Text Chapter 3 Ghost Talent Guo Jia
Still under the protection of the personal soldiers in the house, Zhang Chao took Bai Tong and others on horseback.
On the way, Zhang Chao asked Bai Tong, who was also riding a horse, with a smile on his face: "Tong'er, no one said anything about the price of hero drunkenness, right?" ”
Bai Tong can ride a horse, which is also what Zhang Chao means, otherwise she is just a maid, and she will definitely not have such treatment, so she is very grateful in her heart, and now when she heard Zhang Chao ask, she immediately said: "Second son, everyone has no difference in the price of hero drunkenness." In other words, not only can silver be exchanged for wine, but grain can also be exchanged for wine, and the price is more affordable, and there are even very smart people who adopt the idea of exchanging grain for wine and then selling silver, not to mention, so that the money earned from it can allow them to drink for free. ”
Bai Tong looked proud, as if this idea of making money was what she thought.
To say that Bai Tong's previous family was a businessman and made some money, but as far as she knew, it was all her father's hard work, but there was no idea like the second son, who could earn money that she didn't dare to think about.
Let's not talk about the side, let's just say that the exchange of food for wine breaks the fixed business thinking of exchanging money for goods. Not to mention buy five get one free, and buy ten get one free.
In fact, when he first ordered the price of hero drunkenness, Bai Tong had some ideas.
According to Zhang Chao's decision, the Puxiang type, that is, the twenty-five degree hero drunk, is drunk with two catties per altar, and it is indeed sold for two taels of silver.
The strong fragrance type, that is, the 50-degree hero drunk, is also a jar with two hands, and it is indeed sold for five taels of silver.
What is the difference between such a high price and grabbing? In Bai Tong's opinion, such a price cannot be sold, just like other liquors, most of them are three to five catties of silver for one or two pounds, compared to this, the price is too much worse.
Where can there be so many wrongs?
Although Zhang Chao was so confident when he said this, and took out a certain number of hero drunk in advance and placed it in front of Zhangjia Restaurant, inviting people to taste it for free, the facts have also proved that those who have tasted it say that it is good, at least its strength is not comparable to other contemporary wines.
But after all, the price is there, where are so many people willing to spend so much money to buy such expensive wine, this is simply not knowing how to do business, and they are killing themselves.
Who knows, when this opening opened, it attracted so many people, and it was just the time just now, I am afraid that more than a third of it was bought, and to this extent, I am afraid that the ones prepared today are not enough to sell.
Thinking of Zhang Chao's self-confidence that day, thinking that he was still worried about others, it was really because his son was not in a hurry and his mother-in-law was in a hurry.
Where did Zhang Chao think that Bai Tong would have so many thoughts in his heart at this moment?
After hearing Bai Tong say that the wine was selling well, and there were even many people who exchanged food for wine, the smile on his face was even better.
Zhang Chao is laughing at something, of course he is laughing at his first shot and doing a good job.
To put it simply, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one stone (read dan four sounds) grain was 26,300 grams now, that is, 26 kilograms, in order to facilitate future calculations, it was 50 catties.
The price of a stone of grain is five copper coins, that is, 5,000 Wen, so calculated, a hanger can buy about ten catties of grain, which is still because of the beginning of the war, the price of grain has risen.
The ratio is that five catties of heroes are drunk in exchange for 100 catties of capital, and the remaining 95 catties are all dry earnings, what a high profit ratio is this?
Even if it is a gift of five and one free, it is only a small discrepancy.
In the year of famine and war, food is the foundation of the foothold.
As the war became more and more difficult to control, the Yellow Turban Rebellion lasted for eight years, from 184 to 192 AD, and then Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and the Three Kingdoms stood until the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, which was a full seventy or eighty years of history, in which grain is always the most valuable thing, and now he is taking precautions, but he is measuring it in advance.
As long as there is food, there is no need to worry about food in the future, and a strong army will be built at any time, so that they can make full use of their talents and achieve their own goals.
And now he shows a literary talent, just the need to establish the world, he knows, the scholars and talented people are respected in this era, he is taking advantage of this, first break out a little famous, otherwise, why should those capable civil and military generals want to serve you and call you a lord?
"Second son, I don't understand, we collect money, why do we still collect grain?" It was still Bai Tong who spoke out to stop Zhang Chao's flawed thoughts. It seems that this girl has a book of 100,000 whys in her heart, and she always wants to break the casserole and ask for many things.
Zhang Chao smiled and said lightly, "Winemaking needs food, so we don't have to buy grain everywhere, and as for letting the people earn a price difference, it can be regarded as us doing some good things, this time not only can people taste wine that they have never had, but also allow some people to make some money to supplement their families, which is really my wish." ”
Zhang Chao just said it casually, and he couldn't say it directly to Bai Tong, "Silly girl, food will become more and more valuable in the future, in fact, we still make money."
But this casual remark was really not the same thing in Bai Tong's ears. At this moment, she was moved by Zhang Chao's compassionate, and at this moment she found that the second son, who was originally very tall in her mind, would become even taller.
Finally, I came to Zhangjia Distillery, and there was still some distance away, and I could see that there were soldiers from Zhang's Mansion patrolling around here.
For the winery, Zhang Chao's requirement is that it must be kept secret, and every craft must be strictly controlled and not passed on.
In this era, there is no intellectual property rights, let alone patent rights, and whoever grabs the good things is whoever grabs them, and he must be on guard.
Just like this brewery, each process is in a different place, which means that even if someone escapes from here, all he knows is a step. But even if he did this, he asked his eldest brother Zhang Miao to send a team of guards to be responsible for the security here.
Speaking of this Zhangjia Liquor Workshop, Zhang Chao experimented with the crystallization results after two months after being reborn here.
The use of the steaming water program improved the purity of the hero's drunkenness, supplemented by the use of flavors, and it was not very difficult to add some of them, but it was indeed very complicated to do, and finally made such a hero drunk.
After inspecting the winery very seriously, Zhang Chao was very satisfied, some of the workers in the winery were the old people of the Zhang family, and some of them had fled here.
Not to mention that Zhang Chao said when they came, as long as they work hard and be loyal, there will be two taels of silver per month for wages.
Two taels of silver, that's enough to buy four stones of grain, enough to feed a family of three. Because of this, the workers here work hard, and the immediate benefit is that the wine rate is faster and more abundant.
At the same time, for the elderly of the Zhang family, Zhang Chao also gave an incentive system according to the situation. Under the premise that these people's loyalty is not doubted, the condition is that after completing the task, a certain reward will be given, although the reward is one thousandth, but for the winemaking industry with great benefits, it is also a considerable amount. Not to mention, the winemaker has no status in the first place, and now he is subsidized in money, so who is not working hard.
"Tong'er, see it, this is a virtuous circle." Seeing that all the workers were working hard, and the speed of the wine was much faster than he expected, the smile on Zhang Chao's face was even worse.
Looking at Zhang Chao's happy appearance, Bai Tong was also very happy, she was also very happy about the so-called reward system, thinking that if these people worked for other Taishou or scholars, I am afraid that it would be a great luck to be able to eat half full, where can there be a situation where one person can work now, and the family will not have to worry about food and clothing.
After walking around the winery, Zhang Chao was very satisfied, so he summoned the captain of the personal army who was responsible for the safety here, and told them that someone would bring good wine and good food from the restaurant in a while, and they would be full, but the safety here must be foolproof, otherwise it would be military law.
The captain who is in charge of the security here is naturally full of promises, and if he can be the captain of the guard, it goes without saying that he is a trustworthy person of the Zhang family.
"Second son, there is a guest in the restaurant, and the name he said is very consistent with the person named Guo Fengxiao you mentioned, please go and have a look." A small guy in a restaurant has been waiting outside for a while, but the soldiers here are guarded and he is not allowed to enter, and when he saw Zhang Chao's shadow, he hurriedly shouted loudly.
