Two days later, in the Proton Mansion of Linzi City, after tasting the famous "soju" in Linzi in the past few days, Gongsun Long stuck out his tongue, poured a mouthful of water and rinsed it out, and then said:

"If you want me to tell the truth, even if Chang'an Jun's liquor shop is successfully opened in Linzi and produces a thousand buckets of spirits, I'm afraid it won't even be able to sell one-tenth of it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Everyone under Chang'anjun was still immersed in the fun of making Kuang Liang ugly that day, and they were full of confidence in soju, but at this moment they were hit by Gongsun Long.

Shu Qi asked puzzledly: "Mr. Gongsun, Qi people have always liked to drink all night, and there are many people who are drunk all day long. I saw that in the streets and alleys of Linzi, the business of drunken shops was booming, and all those turbid wines could be sold, why did Mr. expect that Gongzi's clear and good wine could not be sold? ”

During the Warring States Period, with the emergence of many large cities with 10,000 households, the system of "industrial and commercial food officials" was dissolved, and many individual merchants and hundreds of workers gained a foothold in the market, constituting the main body of urban residents. Among them, there is no shortage of wine sellers, Mingyue has heard a story of "Song people drinking" and "dog evil wine sour", Song is like this, Linzi is the largest city in the world, and the liquor is all over Zhuangyue.

Therefore, Shu Qi thinks that with such a thriving wine industry, coupled with the huge population of Linzi, as long as it can make good wine, won't there be an endless stream of people who come to buy it?

Gongsun Long said: "It's strange that this wine is too strong!" It's too clear! ”

On the side, Zhao Kuo, who successfully led the soldiers into the Proton Mansion, and was now flipping through the "Qi Sun Tzu's Art of War" delivered by Kuang Liang's gambling clothes, heard the words, and said: "Isn't the wine as clear and strong as possible?" ”

Gongsun Long said: "The quality of this wine is indeed excellent, but I heard that the cost is not low, so it will be sold at a high price." However, ninety percent of the alcoholics in Linzi are poor people in Lilu, who can't afford to eat good wine, and only use turbid wine and sour wine with a little wine flavor to satisfy their cravings on weekdays, and that's it. Most of the people who can afford it are the doctors of Xiangqing and the rich chiefs, presumably this is also the reason why Chang'anjun gave away wine, right? ”

Mingyue sat on the main seat all the time when Gongsun Long was talking to everyone, and only then smiled at this moment: "I'm ashamed, my mind has been seen through by Mr. ”

He asked people to send some wine to the families of the famous people in Linzi, of course, not only to make friends with them, but also to advertise for soju. Because of Kuang Liang's matter, not only is he famous, but even the soju is well known, and everyone will definitely be curious about this thing, and taste it with this kind of psychology, and the market will open up as soon as it comes and goes.

But Gongsun Long was not optimistic: "Although his generation is good at drinking, he says that he likes thick wine, but in fact, except for the general Wu Ben in the army, others may not be able to stand the intensity of soju." ”

As Gongsun Long said, if the high intensity of soju is maintained, the audience will indeed not be large. The wine that Mingyue gave out before got a return gift and thanks, but the only one who came back to say that the wine was delicious and asked if he could buy some was Tian Hu, the son of An Pingjun next door, and a few generals of Qi State. The rest of the people probably just sniffed and tasted it curiously, rinsed their mouths and spit it out like Gongsun Long......

The spicy and pure liquor of later generations is indeed unacceptable to the ancients of the Warring States period for a while.

In later generations, the taste of wine was "clear and strong first, bitter second, sour, smelly second, and sweet the lowest", but during the Warring States period, rice wine was the most popular, and Mingyue could not immediately change the taste of the world. After all, in his previous life, he would rather drink beer than touch liquor.

He had no choice but to laugh at himself and say, "It seems that I am too inconsiderate." ”

Gongsun Long said with a smile: "If it is sold in Handan, because the Zhao people like thick wine, there may be some profits." ”

Mingyue categorically refused: "I won't sell this wine in Zhao Kingdom." ”

Gongsun Long was stunned, looking at the bright moon for a long time, a little incredible.

At first, Chang Anjun gambled with Kuang Liang, and he thought it was the young man's momentary mood; Later, Chang'anjun shochu was made and given to the nobles of Linzi Qi State, and he also planned to open a winery and start a business, but he thought that Chang'anjun was making a profit.

It was only now that he could see that behind Chang Anjun's approach, there was some kind of well-intentioned purpose......

Want to use the grain of Qi to make wine and sell it in Qi, but refuse to go back to Handan to sell wine? This is a typical strategy to harm others and enrich oneself!

Gongsun Long couldn't help but admire the foresight of this son, although he didn't agree with this method, but after all, he was also from Zhao Guo, so he decided to help him, and said: "Chang'anjun don't be discouraged, although this soju is not easy to buy and sell in Linzi, but there is a place to sell it, the locals will love it like a jade brew!" ”

Mingyue's eyes lit up: "Where?" ”

Gongsun Long pointed to the north: "Yan Kingdom! ”

……

"There are seven countries in the world, the southernmost state of Chu, and the northernmost country of Yan. In Huaibei Chenying, the native grains can be harvested twice a year. Handan, Linzi and other places, if the weather is warm enough, it can also be three crops in two years. ”

Gongsun Long's ability is not limited to lip service, he has a wide range of knowledge, and has traveled all over the north in the past 30 years, and he has a lot of treasures when it comes to the climate of various countries.

Mingyue agrees that he remembers taking an environmental history course in college, saying that the Warring States period was in a warm period, the growing season was longer than that of later generations, and that two crops could be produced a year north of the Huai River, and that there were plum trees in Handan, and there were also dense bamboo forests in Linzi.

But there is one place where there is no heat island effect of the imperial capital of later generations, but it is as cold as ever......

"Yanguo thistle is nine hundred miles north of Handan, and millet can only be harvested once a year, which can be seen to be much colder than Handan and Linzi, but this is not the coldest place in Yanguo."

"More than 20 years ago, I went to Yan State, advised Yan Zhao Wang Yanbing, at that time Yan State was strong, with Qin Kai as the general, attacked Donghu, took more than 2,000 miles of land, and built the Great Wall, from Yang to Xiangping, placed Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong five counties. These five counties are all in the north of Jibei, every winter, it is thousands of miles of ice, the snow is several feet deep, and the north wind is bleak. ”

At that time, Gongsun Long was in the Jieshi Palace, the heavy snow came suddenly, the huge Jieshi Palace was frozen, and the traffic was cut off within half a month, he could only wrap the bearskin fur, roast the charcoal fire, chew dried fish and red dates, and because of the destruction of the Song Kingdom, he came to the king of Yanzhao to chat and relieve his boredom......

At that time, Rong Yi had just returned from Liaodong, and he told Gongsun Long that the situation in Liaodong was even more terrible than that in Liaoxi, and he saw people freezing to death along the way.

Rong Worm described vividly that once there is not enough clothing to protect against the cold, the low temperature will silently catch people, at first people will tremble, their teeth chatter, their legs stretched, and dream of a warm campfire, which is very hot...... But after a while, the cold temperature will penetrate into the body and fill the body, and it will not be long before the person has no strength to resist, and longs to sit down in the snow to rest or take a nap.

It is said that in the end the person lying in the snow did not feel any pain at all, but was weak and drowsy, and then everything gradually faded away, and finally, as if drowning in hot wine, he died peacefully and quietly! Turned into a stiff and cold corpse!

Until death, the corners of the mouth of the frozen dead still have a smile!

Thinking of the cold winter spent in Yan Kingdom, Gongsun Long shuddered: "Can Chang'an Jun know that in Yan Kingdom, in the three-month-long winter, what is the most expensive?" ”

Mingyue was clear and raised the wine bottle in front of him.

Gongsun Long's frozen expression melted, and he laughed: "Yes, it's spirits!" ”

"The Yan people like spirits, and they are more obsessed with it than the Zhao people. One is because the Yan people are so generous and sad, and the other is because of the bitter cold of the Yan land, especially the five northern counties. A sip of spirits can make people warm and cold, and the soju made by Chang'an Jun, if it is in Yan Kingdom, is not only a cup of feast, but a life-saving medicine! When the swallow people see it, they will be like ants! ”
