Section 213 West Sea Wine
At the time of harvest, there were some guests from other places who helped, they were Li Shaobai, the eldest princess of the daughter, Tang Zhengying of the Tang family in Liangzhou, and businessmen such as Kang Caien, a giant merchant of Luoyang Silk Industry, Boss Huang, and one person was the imperial court's supervisor Yu Shi Niu Datong, who witnessed the bumper harvest of agriculture and animal husbandry in Tonghuang County, and happily went down to help harvest and slaughter livestock (such as Tang Zhengying).

"One year of wasteland, one year of production, one year of harvest, Xiaobao, you are really a god!" Boss Huang exclaimed.
Spring wheat is planted in a large area, sown in April and harvested in July, and due to the good fertility of the land, although the sowing is a little delayed, the fertility is offset.
"Yes, the land here is really fertile, and the grain production is so high, it's really rare!" Kang Zeen exclaimed
The answer was God's reply, "How bold man is, how fruitful is the earth!" β
Listening to everyone's eyes, this kid is really against the sky!
Everyone looked at him, repeatedly made meritorious deeds, favored by the Son of Heaven, and praised by the world.
The point is that he is not yet twenty years old!
He had both civil and military skills, killed tens of thousands of people in Tibet in battles, and shot and killed Silla's meal anyway, which was a great feast, and he had a special merit.
Make a small county order, and the grain in the county is equal to the grain produced in the state!
That's a great achievement!
The so-called no agriculture is unstable, this point is actually the key point in the feudal dynasty, the top priority!
Any emperor knew that if there was no food, the storm of rebellion would come.
With food, the dynasty will be stable, especially Feng Xiaobao said bluntly this time, in order to prepare for the attack on Tubo, he did what he said, hey, this time the credit can't be lost.
Inspector Yu Shi Niu Datong and the county magistrate (deputy of the county order) Sun Shen and the county lieutenant (director of the public security bureau) Zhang Nan jointly verified the harvest situation and reported it to the imperial court.
However, Feng Xiaobao will not be promoted this time, because according to the imperial decree, the income from the reclamation of Tonghuang County belongs to individuals and is not included in the assessment of the county order, so Feng Xiaobao's county order has no direct credit for the harvest, at most it is an indirect credit, such as educating the people, opening up wasteland, etc., but there are some returns in horse politics, after all, a lot of horses have been provided to the country.
Seeing that the harvest was so rich, Boss Huang and the others were relieved, they could finally get a return, Feng Xiaobao had been using their venture capital before, in fact, he was burning money, Feng Xiaobao was rising, the venture capital was successful, but it was best to have a return.
After seeing the grain storage, everyone arrived at the Tonghuang County Distillery, where the area is vast, with raw material storage area, raw material processing area (such as cleaning, crushing and scooping), mixing room, cooking area, fermentation pool, etc., in good order, all of them are the masters invited by Luoyang, who are promised to pay heavily to make wine here, and the koji is also transported from Luoyang.
After this distillery is put into production, the output should not be low, and it seems that Feng Xiaobao wants to do a big job.
People are more reassured knowing that there is a reliable way to return on their investment.
In an independent section behind the winery, there were armed forces guarding it, and Feng Xiaobao didn't take everyone in to see it.
It is the most important "steaming area", which is a unique technology and must be kept strictly secret.
At that time, the degree of wine was very low, and some alcohol-tested guys drank "wine" when drinking water, and the quality of the wine was not very good, and the fermented ones contained various ingredients, and the taste would never be good.
There are also a lot of efforts made by wineries everywhere, but the quality and alcohol content of the wine still cannot be improved.
Feng Xiaobao comes from the later generations of authentic liquor, and has experience in producing good liquor!
Does he make wine? Of course he wouldn't, but his instructions were a great inspiration to the masters of the Princess Daughter Distillery:
There should be no doubt that sake can produce a high number, which is called "shochu" or "burnt knife".
In order to improve the quality of liquor, it must be distilled, and only the distilled liquor can remove impurities.
At the same time, there is a small trick for distilled liquor, that is, "pinch the head and remove the tail to cut off the middle", the first pot of steamed wine has many impurities, and it cannot be wanted, and the last pot has a low alcohol content, and it cannot be wanted, only the middle section of the second pot flowing out of the middle is the most suitable.
There is a set of tin wine utensils in the "steaming wine area", that is, the utensils used to distill shochu, which were just studied by the masters of the Princess Qianjin Distillery, and made one more set and sent to Tonghuang County.
It owes more than one amount, and is also preparing to open a "soap factory" and put it into production next year.
Feng Xiaobao accompanied a group of shareholders and shareholder representatives to inspect the distillery and told them: "It's a pity that you can't wait for more than half a month, the first pot of wine can come out, the degree of wine is very high, more than the one on the market!" β
Someone asked, "What's the name of this wine?" β
"Xihai wine!" Feng Xiaobao replied that he used the name of Xihai (Qinghai Lake), and the advertisement on the trademark claimed "Drink dry Xihai, hero of the wine country!" β
Kang Caien, a giant merchant of Chester, had a gleam in his eyes and said, "I am responsible for underwriting the 'West Sea Wine' to the Western Regions!" β
This means that after Kang Caien transported the wine from the distillery, it was all his business, and Feng Xiaobao agreed: "No Ren is welcome!" β
In the era of backward logistics, large wholesalers are extremely popular, even if it is to make profits, it is better than to establish a sales network by themselves.
The chestnut merchants have well-established commercial outlets in the Western Regions, so they don't have to worry about sales.
Then Kang Caien asked tentatively: "Now that we have a truce with the Tibetans and sell them Xihai wine, can we do it?" β
Sure enough, the capitalists are all black-hearted and ask knowingly.
Kang Caien is not stupid, he is testing whether Feng Xiaobao dares to make this money, it is conceivable that in the bitter cold land of Tibet, selling strong liquor to them, even if the price of wine rises somersaultically, the Tubo people can buy it correctly, this is a big deal!
βnononoοΌβ Feng Xiaobao shook his head and denied it in the English language he didn't know where he learned.
This is a political position that must not be shaken!
High concentration of alcohol can warm up the body and provide energy, how can it be such a resourceful strategy!
Listening to Feng Xiaobao boasting about how good the upcoming new "Xihai Wine" was, Tang Zhengying also said: "He underwrote the Liangzhou area!" β
Luoyang Huang Boss doesn't have to go to Tonghuang County to underwrite the Xihai wine, there has been a strong liquor from the private distillery of Princess Qianjin in Luoyang, and the production will be robbed madly. But he introduced a friend from Hezhou to negotiate business with Feng Xiaobao, anyway, Feng Xiaobao's wine has not yet left the factory, and a lot of reservations have been made.
The real big business is the military, and it is conceivable that spirits for the army must be included in the list of strategic goods.
β¦β¦
After seeing the winery, Feng Xiaobao took them straight to see the backyard of the "Meat Factory", which is a place for slaughtering livestock, and the backyard has set up shelves in the open air, where people are working hotly, it is really hot, because the fire is lit to make smoke to smoke meat.
Air-dried meat and smoked meat are the two main products, which will be sold to Luoyang, Chang'an, to ensure that the supply exceeds demand and the harvest is huge.
Feng Xiaobao got a monopoly policy from the imperial court, and he made money! (To be continued.) )
