It seems that there is no such thing as sorghum in this era, so has it already appeared? What is the name if it appears? Ji Yan frowned and pondered, and finally remembered a word after a long time: Shu Xiao, by the way, it should be called Shu Xiao, I also used this word to make a screen name when I was on the Internet in my previous life, called "Chicken Soup Shu Xiao", because it sounds the same as "uncle".

"This king is talking about Shu millet, is it used to make wine?"

Liang You suddenly said: "Shu Xiao! This thing is passed down from the Hu people, and it is very good to feed horses, but it cannot make wine. ”

"Do we plant more?"

"I planted a lot in the past, and at that time there were many royal family members and horses, so I specially set aside a piece of land, about 100 acres, to plant millet for horses. Now there are fewer horses, fewer serfs, and less millet planted, which should be less than 20 acres. ”

"Is the warehouse in stock?"

"There is a lot of inventory, and the Shu millet that I collected before can't be used up at all, and there is a lot of mildew in the warehouse."

"Great!" Ji Yan said excitedly: "With this thing, we can make a lot of money." ”

In Liangyou's stunned, Ji Yan asked him how he made wine at this time.

Liang You talked eloquently, and the method of wine-making in this era was clearly explained, and it sounded similar to the wine-making method of later generations, the same is to cook the grain, add the koji to ferment, but the final step is to press instead of distill, and will not pinch the head and tail but mix all the liquor slurry together, and there is no need for sorghum. As long as these links are improved, high-quality liquor is definitely not a utopia, which makes Ji Yan have greater confidence.

Next, Ji Yan and Liang You discussed the method of making Shu millet wine, and mentioned the method of distillation and pinching the head and tail, when Liang You hesitated, he once again threw out the theory of the ignition of the gods, this statement can be said to be a thousand trials in this era of worshiping the gods, not to mention that he himself is the "son of heaven", which deepens its credibility, so that no matter how strange things he says later, everyone is no longer strange.

Liang You was naturally convinced at this time, but he still asked: "What is distillation like?" ”

Ji Yan explains: "It's like boiling water to heat it, steam comes out, and after the steam cools, it condenses into water, and this process can be called distillation. The main reason why this method can be used to make high-quality wine is that the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, and if the temperature exceeds the boiling point of alcohol and is lower than the boiling point of water, the alcohol content in the steam will be high, and the concentration of the wine obtained after cooling will be high. ”

Liang You doesn't seem to understand the boiling point or something, but since it is a god ignition, he can't raise any objections, only nodding his head and agreeing. Then he talked about the equipment used in distillation.

"To make distilled spirits, you have to have a stove, a pot, a still, a condenser tube."

"The pots and stoves are ready-made, but this still and condenser tube, Weichen doesn't know what they are."

"Do we have anything to steam the food?"

"Utensils for steaming food," Liang You thought for a while, "Copper rings, copper rings are used to steam food." ”

"Can he use it to collect steam?"

"The copper retort has no lid, and as soon as the steam comes out, it will drift around, and there is no way to collect it!"

Ji Yan frowned, he didn't expect that a distiller would become a problem for brewing wine. Liang You frowned and pondered, thought for a while, and said, "Wouldn't it be okay for us to find a goldsmith to put a lid on the copper ring?" ”

Ji Yan shook his head and said, "With the lid added, where does the steam come from?" As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Isn't it okay to dig a hole in the lid and connect the pipe again?" Yes, yes, this tube is simpler, take a bamboo, open all its knots, it can become a condenser tube, one end is attached to the lid of the copper ring, and the other end is used in a container to get the distillate. ”

Liang You said with admiration: "My king is worthy of the son of heaven! Nothing is a problem. ”

Ji Yan said very happily: "Okay, now that all the problems are solved, Liang Qing will go back immediately and try to brew some liquor with Shu millet to come out, and this king will see the sample as soon as possible." If you can't solve the problem, come to this king. ”

Liang You already knew all aspects of distilled liquor, and said loudly: "In less than ten days, Weichen promises to make exquisite liquor from Shu millet." ”

Ji Yan was happy in his heart, but he solemnly emphasized with a calm face: "This method of making wine can only be mastered by you alone, and must not be known to a third party, otherwise this king will definitely punish you for the nine clans!" "In the end, it's all about it.

Liang You was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

"Get up! First, a small amount of millet is used for trial production, and after the trial production is successful, the output is increased. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask the king. ”

"No!" Liang You left briskly with apprehension and excitement.

The wine-making thing can be regarded as settled, which makes Ji Yanda excited, so he happily wants to spend the night at Wang Ding's place. But when I think of being yin and not being able to have children, I am depressed, and no matter how hard I try, it is useless! Wouldn't it be a joke if one day the Seven Warring States were leveled, but the family business of Nuoda could not find a successor? Is it necessary to consider a parliamentary system? Or a republic? Thinking about it, I shook my head, how can the things that Lao Tzu earned back be cheaper than others? No, we must find a way to cure this problem.

Early the next morning, just after running a circle with the forbidden army, Li Gui came with a few men.

"Qi my king, these people are Guan Violence, Zhang Xian, Cheng Feng and Gao Dong mentioned earlier."

"Good. Come with me. After Ji Yan finished speaking, he took a few people to the Son of Heaven's bedroom.

After giving a few people a seat, Ji Yan spoke: "This king has an idea to establish a coaching corps, which is directly under the management of this king, and is specifically responsible for training the army. How about the old general temporarily assuming the position of regiment commander? ”

Li Gui said happily: "My king has an order, and the old ministers are all disobedient. ”

Ji Yan said: "Okay, the old general will be the head of my coaching group in the future, and the existing members are these four people, and you will recruit them in the future when you see whom." For the members of the coaching team, Benwang has only one requirement, that is, there must be a strength that others cannot reach or are difficult to achieve. ”

"No!"

Ji Yan looked at the four of them again, and they all made him very satisfied, especially their standard military demeanor, which was impressive. Only one of them seems a little sparse, it is estimated that this should be Zhang Xian, who has never been in the army, asked, and sure enough.

So he asked: "I heard that Zhang Zhuangshi has a very powerful enemy?" ”

"Yes, the enmity that was forged when I used to sell salt. They are a big gang, called the Donghai Gang, and there are many gangs. ”

"Don't be afraid. As long as you are in the Great Zhou, this king will definitely protect your safety, and will not let the enemy easily find you, even if you really find it, this king will send a personal guard to help you, and if the personal guard is not good, this king will send a forbidden army to help you. ”

When Zhang Xian heard this, he was moved, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Xian, from now on, follow my king." ”

Li Gui was amazed, this reckless man who had never had rules actually knew how to kneel? The Son of Heaven is indeed the Son of Heaven!

"Zhang Zhuangshi, please get up." After Zhang Xian sat back, Ji Yan said: "From today onwards, Guan Yan is responsible for the training of the forbidden army's fists and feet, Zhang Xian is responsible for the training of weapons, and Cheng Feng and Gao Dong are responsible for the training of mounted archery. Questions? ”

"No problem!" The four replied in unison.

"The veteran general is responsible for formulating various rules of the coaching corps, including personnel recruitment standards, work discipline, and salary standards, etc., which must be made as soon as possible."

"No!"
