Chapter 15: Inventing to Raise Money

If a traverser gets mixed up to the point of robbery, how low it is!

The traverser has always been a tall representative, no matter who crosses over, the good guy or the wicked guy is basically the protagonist's life, and the bad will become good.

And the traverser crossed over, how many would not want to do big things? Zhang Yi is no exception, so if there is a way, he doesn't want to rob the house, because that would be very low!

The traverser made a fortune by farming, commerce, and invention! Agriculture takes too much time, and it was abandoned by Zhang Yi, and business came quickly, but he couldn't play it, and it was also abandoned.

In the end, the rest is to invent, in fact, in this era, it is still very simple to invent, any traveler knows a few things that can make a lot of money.

Like the Three Kingdoms period, it's even better, papermaking! At this time, the quality of the paper was too bad, and it could not be mass-produced, and it was extremely expensive. As long as you get the papermaking technique out, you can definitely make a lot of money.

However, papermaking requires a certain amount of skill, and although the benefits are huge, it is still difficult for people with hand disabilities.

Make glass! This technique is not difficult, that is, to find quartz sand mixed with soda and burn. Technically it is very simple, but it is difficult to find materials, quartz sand and soda are both foreign names from the West, and Zhang Yi doesn't know what they are called now.

Then there is soju, Zhang Yi doesn't understand the wine-making process, but he knows distilled spirits. Although there are no glass test tubes or anything now, these things can be replaced by copper and iron products.

The only thing to worry about is the problem of sealing and cooling, Zhang Yi found a blacksmith shop, asked about the situation, and found that the sealing problem is not worth mentioning at all, it can be solved with wooden blocks or linen, but it is really not possible and there are ancient adhesives.

Yellow mud and glutinous rice juice, just paste it at the seams of the utensils. This thing is not dirty after solidifying, and it may be cleaner than the bad wine brewed outside!

"Then give me a set!" Zhang Yi decided to play a set first, and there was not much money. Because this thing doesn't need to be very detailed, the bottom of the pot is made directly with iron, and then the bottomless wooden barrel is made around, with a bronze lid on top, and a bronze pipe is exported, and then it is connected with a wooden barrel.

This set of equipment is completely earthen equipment, very simple, and it only takes a day or two to build!

Zhang Yi paid the money, then went home and built a new stove and bought back ten catties of wine.

When the equipment was built, he gave the blacksmith a few hundred five baht and asked him to help carry it home and press it on the stove. After sending the blacksmith away, Zhang Yi looked at the tattered stove and the tattered distillation utensils, and felt a little bottomless, can this thing be used? Wouldn't it be a waste of money if you couldn't use yourself?

Never mind! Don't be entangled, can you use it to try it?

Zhang Yi took out the ten catties of wine, poured it into the distillation utensil, covered the lid, put the wooden barrel, and then began to make a fire.

Soon, the wine was boiling, and the steam kept coming out, but there were very few droplets! Depend on! The fire is big! Quickly withdrew the fire, and after waiting for a while, the steam decreased and the water droplets increased.

wiped a handful of sweat, fortunately the buddy is rural, if the city is really not good this earthen stove. It seems that the traverser is still popular in the countryside!

Zhang Yi carefully controlled the fire and slowly distilled all the liquor in the distillation vessel. Wait until the inside is dry, then stop. Ten catties of bad wine, there are less than five catties left. He took a sip, and the alcohol concentration was up, but the taste was much better, but it was still not good enough, and it seemed that it had to be distilled once.

He opened the still, saw all the impurities in the bottom of the pot, brushed the pot anew, poured the wine into it, and distilled it again.

Less than five catties of wine, now there are only about two catties left.

Zhang Yi tasted it again, this time it tasted enough, about thirty or forty degrees.

When the wine is ready, it's time to sell! He thought about who he wanted to sell to? Let Zhang Xiu take the lead? No, he still has to keep a low profile.

After thinking about it, he put the wine into a wine gourd, and then put on a little makeup to dress up as a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priests in the late Han Dynasty were already very famous, not to mention the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, who rebelled, that is, the famous Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi, who was a figure in the late Han Dynasty. He is the grandfather of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and the father of Zhang Heng, who invented the seismograph!

In addition to Zhang Tianshi, there is also the famous Zuo Ci, a Taoist priest who played Cao Cao in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and even became the master of the victorious general Zhao Yun in the storytelling. However, the real situation in history is that people who cultivate in Mount Emei may not have ever been out of Shu.

Then there is Yu Ji, the culprit of Sun Ce's death in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and some movies say that he is the founder of ninjutsu, and the five apprentices assassinated Sun Ce and crossed to Japan, so that ninjutsu can be carried forward in Japan. Of course, at that time, it was not called ninjutsu, but the Five Elements Escape Method. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the most surprising thing is that the golden escape method is actually to use metal to reflect light, dazzling people's eyes! The light source is still a torch!

So at this time, it is not uncommon to have Taoist priests, not to mention Taoist priests, even monks are not uncommon! There were already a lot of monks in the Eastern Han Dynasty, not to mention the area of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, that is, there was a Rong under Tao Qian in Xuzhou, who was the leader of Buddhism in Xuzhou. This thing is not a good person, it can be called the second horn, and he uses religion to do things.

However, it has little to do with Zhang Yi, he just wants to pretend to be a Taoist priest.

There are still many Taoist priests in the Wancheng generation, and there is a famous Taoist mountain hundreds of miles away - Wudang Mountain!

According to legend! Zhuge Liang once went to Wudang Mountain to seek Taoism, which is why in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang was not at home for the first time.

Zhang Yi first thought about his own road number, and called Wudang Mountain Changchun Zhenren, Dao name Changchunzi! I'm sorry!

After cleaning up, Zhang Yi also checked several times to confirm that there were no flaws, and then climbed out of the courtyard wall when there was no one outside.

Zhang Yi took a long cane, tied a wine gourd to the cane, and a fake beard, and walked into the downtown step by step.

came to a wine shop, Guan Xiaoer asked for a few side dishes, a bowl, and then unscrewed the gourd mouth and drank it by himself.

The person next to him looked curious, "This Taoist priest is interesting, he actually brought his own water and wine when he came to the wine shop!" ”

Zhang Yi is happy, how can I buy wine otherwise? He immediately said, "I'm not an ordinary wine, and the wine in this wine shop can't compare to mine!" ”

Xiao Er was unhappy, "Hey! Why did you start talking drunk before you even drank? ”
