Because Li Shimin pointed out Hou Junji's daughter Haitang to Li Su, the king of Liang, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, was super unhappy, he didn't dare to scold Li Shimin, so he scolded his son Li Dan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said: "You kid, what are you doing, instigate my father and I will give Ning'er to that bastard boy Li Su, this is good, he has two more women outside, this is too aggrieved Ning'er, I want to find the emperor to withdraw from the marriage." ”

"No, father, my daughter is going to marry Brother Liang. Except for King Liang's brother, none of his daughters married. Li Ning'er quit and grinned to cry.

When Li Xiaogong saw it, he immediately relented. He smiled and said: "Ning'er, my father is thinking about you, think about it, King Liang already has three women at a young age, it's not like words." Father is afraid that he will wronged you, you are young, wait and see, father will choose a better son-in-law for you. ”

"Wow", now, Li Ning'er really cried.

Li Xiaogong was at a loss now, he said: "Ning'er, don't cry, can't I let you marry King Liang?" ”

Li Ning'er said: "Don't regret it. ”

Li Xiaogong said: "I promise not to regret it." ”

Li Ning'er burst into tears and laughed, leaned on Li Xiaogong's body with runny nose, wiped his face with his wide robe, and said, "Father, you are so good." ”

How does Li Xiaogong think about it, how does he feel unhappy, his precious daughter, if he marries the children of ordinary officials, he dares to marry one more woman?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said to Li Dan: "You go, call that kid to me." ”

Liang Wangfu.

Li Dan and Li Ning'er came to Li Su, saying that Li Xiaogong was very angry and asked him to find a way to coax Li Xiaogong.

Li Su scratched his head a little, complaining about Li Shimin's domineering father. Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin are at the same level, are they so easy to coax?

He asked, "How do you give me an idea?" ”

Li Dan didn't know what to do, and was as worried as him.

Li Ning'er said with a smile: "Brother Liang Wang, if Ning'er is unhappy, if you give Ning'er a gift, Ning'er will be happy." ”

"That's right, give a gift, that's it!" Li Su had an idea.

In addition to Li Shimin, who led troops to dominate the world, only Li Xiaogong was the only one in the clan who could take charge alone. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, conquered Chang'an, issued an edict to worship him as the ambassador of Shannan Province, and led the troops to patrol the Bashu region.

Later, the anti-thieves Xiao Mo and Fu Gongqi were eliminated, and they made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He is very smart, and he knows that he has too much credit, and it is easy to create suspicion. So he began to stay away from the court and lived a life of luxury and indulgence.

According to historical records, filial piety has a luxurious and bold temperament, and there are more than 100 singers and dancers in the back room, but they are forgiving and humble, and there is no arrogance and self-satisfaction, so Li Yuan and Li Shimin treat him very closely.

If you want to live this kind of luxurious life, you can't live without money.

Li Su made up his mind and wanted to work this.

10 days later, Li Su took Yang Kang and others to pull a set of equipment for distilling liquor in a horse-drawn carriage, and prepared to give it to his father-in-law Li Xiaogong, who meant to let Li Xiaogong build a distillery.

As we all know, China's beverage liquor can be divided into three categories: fermented liquor, distilled liquor and prepared liquor. The ancient winemaking technique was mainly fermented wine, and the purity of the alcohol was low, generally between 13-16 degrees.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was already a process of distilling liquor, but it was still very backward, and the alcohol content of the so-called three distilled and three brewed liquor reached about 23 degrees at the highest.

The wine that Li Su drank in the workshop was the most famous "green ant wine" in the Tang Dynasty. "Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of it?" ——Bai Juyi, "Ask Liu Nineteen"

What does this famous sake look like?

I saw that the liquid in the wine bowl was light green, not only cloudy, but also floating on it with a thin white layer of floating objects like ants. Smell, slightly alcoholic, but most likely also slightly rancid......

It can be said that this is the highest level of winemaking in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Su has mastered the modern winemaking process, and is ready to build a large-scale winery for his father-in-law Li Xiaogong, and the fortune is definitely great.

After the Spring Festival, the weather gets warmer.

Li Su felt depressed in the carriage, so he opened the window.

To Li Xiaogong's county palace, the road has to pass through the West Market, roadside wine shops abound, Li Su looked at these wine shops, thinking that his high wine is on the market, it must not be popular in the Tang Dynasty, even foreign countries are definitely the advertising slogan: "The coconut wind can't stop it." ”

However, when he came to the gate of Li Xiaogong's palace, he hesitated. Then, he instructed Yang Kang to pull the brewing equipment back. Then went in on his own.

The distribution pattern and production scale of the liquor industry in the Tang Dynasty The liquor industry in China originated very early, but it developed to the Tang Dynasty, still staying at the level of small-scale production, and the distribution was extremely scattered, from the large to the professional winery, to the small people's families, all of which could make wine by themselves. This widely distributed, small-scale, and multi-brewing production model constituted the main framework of the Tang Dynasty brewing industry.

This situation has created a large number of people working in the brewing industry.

Traditional liquor brewing process: grain crushing→ soaking→ initial steaming→ simmering grain→ re-steaming→ retorting and cooling→ adding koji → packing and cultivating → with dregs→ barrel fermentation→ distillation → finished liquor.

The new process of brewing wine: grain crushing - adding water and koji fermentation - distilling liquor.

Due to the complicated process of traditional brewing and the inability to mechanize the technological process, the traditional brewing must be operated by a professional and experienced winemaker, and 4~8 workers should be invited to make shochu according to the amount of grain at one time.

The new process brewing technology is easy to master and can be operated by one person. Even if the amount of grain is large at one time, it can be carried out by mechanization, and ordinary housewives can operate it by one person.

The yield of traditional sake brewing (measured at 50 degrees) is generally about 65% for corn and 85% for rice.

The wine yield of the new process (measured at 50 degrees) is generally about 75% for corn and about 95% for rice.

Li Su thought that he could make a fortune by letting Li Xiaogong build a large-scale modern winery, adopt new technology, and carry out industrial production, but those small winemaking workshops would definitely close down in large numbers, and thousands of people would lose their skills to survive.

This kind of "go your own way and let others have no way out." This is not Li Su's style.

Li Su thought that he and Li Xiaogong were already the top magnates of the Tang Dynasty, and a little more money and a little less money would not have much impact, and they could not let the people suffer because of their own selfish interests. This is not what "high and great", but the basic conscience of being a human being.

He thought that in the future, when developing new products, we should consider the market impact on the people, and we should make more novel products that are not available in Datang.

Originally, Li Xiaogong already knew that Li Su was going to help him establish a winery, and today he was going to see the samples of the equipment. I couldn't help but be angry when I saw him pull the brewing equipment away.

He asked, "What do you mean, boy?" ”
