PS: Why do you feel more tired during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday than you usually go to work?

It wasn't until the curfew was about to be curfew that Li Ke got up and prepared to go home, Li Yong wanted to live here in Li Su, after all, the task given to him by his father was not completed, although he said it hard, but he still wanted to avoid the limelight first. However, Li Yu asked Li Yong to go back and tell his father that they don't have to think about the tea business, but he has a bigger business here, and he can't do it with his own strength, so he is ready to recruit people to join the shares, if this business is completed, the annual profit will be more than one million! As soon as Li Ke said this, not only Li Yong was surprised inexplicably, but even Li Ke was a little moved, wanting to ask but embarrassed to ask.

"Hehe, if your father and King Jiangxia are interested, tomorrow I will invite them to come to my house for a trip Chapter 16 to make money, third brother, you are welcome, you must come tomorrow, junior brother, I am too young, I am afraid that I will not be able to shake these two cousins, then the third brother, you will also occupy a part of the shares, and our brothers will be tied together, so we are not afraid of being swallowed by these old foxes." Li Ke smiled and said to Li Yong first, and then pulled Li Ke in, Li Ke is his own brother, and he used to help himself from time to time, of course, he can't forget this third brother when he has benefits.

"Haha~, since Liulang said so, then the third brother will not refuse, but Brother Wei is very curious, what kind of business can make a million?" Li Ke is also a cheerful person, and he agreed with a smile. In the past few days, Li Ke and the previous performance of the two have completely changed Li Ke's previous views on him.

"Hehe, this one~" Li Su smiled mysteriously, "Keep it secret for the time being, you will know when you come tomorrow!" ”

"Damn, Rokuro, when will you learn to play pantomime riddles too?" Li Yong was full of hope and wanted to hear what kind of business it was first, but he didn't expect Li Yu not to say it, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"Okay, okay, third brother, hurry up, otherwise you won't have face when you get caught after curfew." Li Su made up his mind not to say it, and planned to let them see the real thing tomorrow in Chapter 16 of the Money Making Killer Weapon, after all, this thing is only based on what he says, I'm afraid it's really not convincing, so let them feel it for themselves.

"Well, it's not bad for the night anyway." Li Ke was not in a hurry, he said goodbye and left, and Li Yong had no choice but to say goodbye together.

After sending the two out of the palace, Li Su ordered someone to call the craftsmen of the woodcraft workshop and the ironware workshop in the mansion, some time ago he designed a thing, let the craftsmen of these two workshops make a trial, two days ago they said that the thing was almost completed, but at that time Li Su was busy with the tea workshop, so he had no time to see.

Not long after Li Su returned to the hall, the servant came in with two people dressed as craftsmen. As soon as the two of them saw Li Su, they immediately knelt down and saluted: "The villain sees the prince!" ”

"Get up, is that thing done?" Li Su put down the tea bowl and asked, these two craftsmen are forty or fifty years old, they are the head craftsmen in charge of the carpentry workshop and the ironware workshop, the one with thick hands and feet and a wooden face is called Huang Cheng, the craftsman of the woodwork workshop, and the gray-haired but stout man is called Wu Qiao, because of the elder Cheng, everyone calls him Lao Wu Tou, he is the head craftsman of the ironware workshop.

"Back to the prince, the things have been made, the villain and Lao Huang tried it according to the method that the prince said, and found that it was really feasible." Lao Wu took a step forward and said, Huang Chengcheng, who is a carpenter, is silent, so it is this Lao Wu who speaks for everything.

"Well, well done, the king will use the thing tomorrow, if the thing is made well, the king will definitely be rewarded!" When Li Su heard that things were done, his face could not hide his excitement. Next, Li Su asked about the details of the production again, and Lao Wu and Huang Cheng answered one by one, until Li Su was satisfied, and they were asked to step down.

The next day, Li Su had nothing to do anyway, so he hadn't gotten up yet, and suddenly Gao Zhong hurriedly broke in and reported loudly: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Great joy! ”

"What's the matter? Why are you panicking? Li Su opened his sleepy eyes and asked very dissatisfied.

"Your Royal Highness, as soon as the Wang family's tea house opened this morning, countless people rushed to buy it, and the tea prepared in the tea house was not enough to sell, and it was only opened for less than an hour, and it was already sold out." Gao Zhong said with a look of ecstasy.

"Oh?" Li Su jumped up from the bed, although he had long expected this kind of result, after all, he had done enough advertising for this new tea, and the tea sent out at the beginning was hundreds of catties, but when he heard that the tea was frantically snapped up, he still couldn't help but be very excited, and at the same time, a sense of joy of success came to his heart, which shocked Li Su's spirit.

"Good! Good! Good! Let Wang Zihao be informed that he must control the quantity sold every day, and would rather sell less every day than run out of stock, after all, there is still more than a month before the next season's tea comes down? Li Su excitedly walked back and forth in the bedroom, while still not forgetting to remind the Wang family, after all, the current inventory of tea is not much, if it is sold all at once, although it can get back a large amount of money, but it has an impact on the newly opened tea house, this tea house is the main channel for tea sales in the future, Li Su also invested money in it, he does not want to have an adverse impact on the future development of the tea house because the sales strategy is wrong.

"Don't worry, the people of the Wang family are very shrewd, and when they see that there are too many people rushing to buy tea, they stipulate that each person can buy a maximum of half a catty per day, and except for today, it will only sell 50 catties per day in the future, so that after calculation, the tea stock of our palace is enough to hold on to the summer tea." Gao Zhong reported with a smile, and was also very satisfied with the Wang family's approach between words.

"Well, yes, yes, this Wang Zihao is really a talent!" Li Su is also full of praise, in fact, he is also happy and confused, no matter how the Wang family says, it has been in business for generations, and he used to be one of the top ten wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, and his means of doing business are much stronger than Li Su. Li Su opened a wood carving shop in his previous life, but he was at most a small shopkeeper in Datang, and Wang Zihao used to be the CEO of a commercial consortium, and his level was not a little worse.

"Your Highness, hurry up and put on your clothes, don't catch a cold!" Wen'er and Hua'er saw Li Su walking around on the ground barefoot and wearing close-fitting clothes, hurriedly brought his clothes, and served Li Su to dress and wash, and Gao Zhong also had something to do and retreated.

After Li Ke got dressed, he ate a simple breakfast, and while Li Ke and they hadn't come yet, they simply went to test the effect of that thing first, and they were idle anyway. Thinking of this, Li Su took people to the northeast corner of the palace, that is, the workshop area in the palace.

After arriving at the workshop area, Li Su did not go to the woodsmith and ironware workshop, but went directly to the brewery. The people of the Tang Dynasty drank wine freshly, so the princes and nobles generally had their own breweries.

"Villain Yang Jiu, see His Royal Highness King Liang!" As soon as he entered the brewery, a thin young man with a neatly dressed face and a shrewd face bowed and saluted. If it is a servant in the house, he must kneel when he sees Li Su, and the reason why this Yang Jiu does not have to kneel is because his identity is different. Li Su had heard Gao Zhong mention, as if this Yang Jiu was born in the side branch of Hongnong Yang's family, barely regarded as Concubine Yang's kindred, and because of the good wine, so he entered the Liang Wangfu in charge of the winery, generally the workshop of the palace only has a craftsman, one level lower than the steward, although Yang Jiu is only in charge of the brewery, but as a steward, this is the same as Liu Hu who manages the tea garden, both of them are stewards, and they are also not servants of the palace, but they only work for the palace with the salary of the palace.

"Get up, are there any fermented lees in the brewery now?" Li Su asked as he looked at the brewing workshop. The wine-making workshop covers an area of not small, there are twenty or thirty craftsmen alone, and the tools and grains used in wine-making are placed very neatly, and it seems that this Yang Jiu is managing well.

"Your Highness, the workshop has to make wine once a month, and today there happens to be fermented sake lees." Yang Jiu replied very respectfully.

"Okay, good job, this king has newly created a kind of wine-making utensils, you can prepare the sake lees and use it for a while!"

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Although Yang Jiu had doubts in his heart, he still bowed down to receive the order and went down to ask the craftsman to prepare the lees.

As soon as the lees were ready, Lao Wu Tou and Huang Chengcheng brought someone to transport the utensils designed by Li Su. The structure of this thing is very simple, underneath is a huge pot with a large cylindrical wooden barrel on top of it and a strange lid on it.

This thing is actually a distiller, and anyone who knows a little bit about physics can design it. The last time Li Su drank wine in Junzilou, he found that the taste of wine was very light, and he remembered at that time that distilled liquor had not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and now all he drinks is brewed wine, because this kind of wine has not been distilled, so the degree is only 18 or 9 degrees at most.

The people of the Tang Dynasty loved wine, but what they drank was usually freshly brewed wine, which is not to say that the newly brewed wine was delicious, in fact, everyone knew that the older the wine, the more fragrant it was, but the wine that had not been distilled was too low because the degree was too low, and the preservation conditions were very harsh, and it would deteriorate if you were not careful, so what you generally drink on weekdays is freshly brewed wine, and it can be preserved for several years or even decades of good wine, which is generally used to celebrate major festivals or entertain important guests.

Since distilled liquor has not yet been invented, it is a very profitable opportunity for Li Su, after all, compared with brewed liquor, the emergence of distilled liquor is simply an epoch-making change in the brewing industry, which will definitely sweep the entire Datang society, and the profits in it are so large that it is unimaginable that if the secret of distilled liquor can be kept all the time, then Li Su will definitely become one of the biggest richest people in Datang.

However, Li Su is now ready to take it out and open a large-scale brewery with Li Ke and others, which is mainly due to two considerations. The most direct reason is that Li Su's economic strength is too weak, and if there is no large investment, then he can only make a small fuss, and he does not know when he will have the capital to expand the scale.

And the deep-seated reason is very complicated, since he came to the Tang Dynasty, there is a strong sense of insecurity, although he is the king of Liang, but among the sons of Li Shimin, he does not please the old Comrade Li, and even very annoying, although he has worked hard to improve his image during this time, trying to change his image in the heart of Comrade Li, but this matter is not a short time to work. In particular, Comrade Lao Li himself set a bad example of killing his brother and killing his brother, and the struggle between the princes who have become adults or will become adults has gradually become white-hot, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the trap of others.

Although Li Su was not interested in the high throne, since he was the prince, he had been involved in the battle for the throne since he was born, and he couldn't escape. Li Su wants to keep himself, the most effective way is to have strong strength, so Li Su wants to use the benefits that his later knowledge can produce, take himself as the center, and form a group with a strong background, so that when others want to move him, it is to touch the interests of this group, as long as the people in his group are strong enough, no one can move himself, and Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong, etc. are the first people Li Su wants to woo, and the reason why Li Ke is also pulled in is to save the idea of helping his own brother.

"Well, the workmanship is very fine, there should be no problem!" Li Su personally inspected the still, and found that the workmanship was very fine, the iron pot and the wooden barrel were tightly fitted, a small hole was opened in the middle and upper part of the barrel, a copper pipe was inserted obliquely upward, the top end was spoon-shaped, the lid of the wooden barrel was actually a low barrel, there were water outlet holes and water inlet holes on both sides, the bottom was an iron cone, and the tip of the awl was facing the spoon head below. When used, cold water is added to the low barrel constantly, and then the lees are put into a large pot to steam, the boiling point of alcohol is relatively low, it turns into a gas when it is heated, and it turns into a liquid when it encounters a cold conical bottom, and then drip into the spoon below through the tip of the awl along the lines, and then flow to the outside of the barrel through the copper pipe.

Distilled spirits have a high degree of content, generally reaching fifty or sixty degrees, and can only be drunk after blending. The longer it is sealed, the stronger the flavor becomes, and even after opening, it can be stored for a year without spoiling. Distilled spirits have great advantages over non-distilled spirits, and once they are introduced, they will definitely replace the current non-distilled spirits.

At this time, when Li Su was thinking about the great wealth that distilled liquor had brought to him, the next person came to report that Li Ke and they had come, and Li Su hurriedly asked people to bring them here, planning to steam the wine in front of them once, and then let them taste this spirit, and explain everything with facts!!
