In fact, in addition to wheat, peas are also used as raw materials to make Daqu......

Fortunately, this thing has been found before, and there are some in the logistics mansion, so Lin Zifan doesn't have to worry about peas.

"Having said that, the process of making koji is too complicated. ”

But...... Although it is complicated, Lin Zifan can't fake it to others, after all, this is the best way to maintain the recipe of liquor......

There are also people in Datang who make wine, but the koji is not good, and it does not use distillation and other processes, and the raw materials used are also different, so not only is the degree very low, but the aroma of the wine is not strong.

In other countries, there are some so-called fine wines, which are much better and stronger than the wine of the Tang Dynasty, but in Lin Zifan's opinion, they are all spicy chicken wines, and the degree is slightly higher than ordinary beer, but the taste and taste are even inferior to beer......

"So, the next step is the busy time...... Daqu ...... I don't believe it, I can't get you!"

The production process of Daqu is by no means simple, and it can even be called complicated!

The raw materials are moistened with water→ piled → ground → mixed with water→ loaded into the koji mold→ treaded → into the koji-making room, cultivated → turned over → piled up → → finished koji......

Twelve processes, one is indispensable!

According to legend, the process of making koji in ancient times was more complex and exquisite......

For example, the step of 'stepping music' is both complicated and interesting......

The ancients stepped on the song, first of all, its strict organizational form and mutual cooperation of the way of working, often there was a supervisor, by the owner of the qu workshop or an experienced person.

There is a strict division of labor among the koji-making workers, some specialize in measuring raw materials and water, some specialize in mixing, and some specialize in handling.

There are more than a dozen or even dozens of people in the bending workers. Each person is required to step on a few feet, such as the first person to step on three feet, the second person to take over, at the same time to turn over, and then step on three feet, the third person to continue, at most a piece of music needs to go through 60 people to step on the system.

Then the wooden mold is taken out by the specialist, and there are special people who are engaged in the stepping of the corners and corners of the curved blocks, and someone is responsible for repairing the music to make the curved blocks smooth, and finally several people move them to the curved room to start cultivating......

But it is precisely such a delicate and complex process that can be born, and the liquor culture that has been inherited in China for thousands of years has endured!

But the problem is that the current Lin Zifan doesn't have the slightest feeling of 'fun'......

With so many processes, one person has to do it, even if he has prepared the mold and the room before, it is very cumbersome now......

Fortunately, the old man taught him very carefully, and Lin Zifan's memory was also good, and he was very clear about the ratio of raw materials, so it was not impossible to get it.

In addition, Lin Zifan is also a Xuanyuan Realm cultivator now, and his physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, so this job can be completely done......

For three days, for three days, Lin Zifan soaked in the logistics mansion to make music......

Three days later, Zhou Xiaoyan's good news also came back, and the tobacco was also harvested, although it also cost a lot of freight, but in Lin Zifan's opinion, that freight was a fart!

But this girl has been distressed for a long time......

However, in a short period of time, Lin Zifan didn't have time to engage in tobacco, just because the winery was still built!

The progress of an earth cultivator is naturally no better than that of three people working together, but five or six days is enough to get out the brewery that Lin Zifan requested.

Just like the previous paper mill, the required equipment and specifications are perfect, all kinds of stoves and so on have been built, as long as the boiler is ready, and then the personnel are complete, you can start construction!

In terms of personnel, they can be in place at any time, as for the boiler or something...... It takes a lot of iron.

After all, the brewery, boilers, digesters, etc., all need to be large, and this matter can only come out of the part of the hundreds of thousands of catties of iron and make it into a cauldron......

I have to discuss this matter with the empress.

"What? Why?" the empress glared: "If you don't tell me a reason, I won't agree!"

"Fine iron is a necessity for making grenades, without grenades, we won't be able to survive this winter, you ......"

"You have to give me a good reason, otherwise, I won't agree to anything!"

The empress had a straight face, and she had a completely 'nothing to talk about' expression, which made Lin Zifan feel funny.

But Lin Zifan only said a word, and the empress broke the ......

"Ahem...... Your Majesty, the minister wants to make a cauldron, and he is preparing to make wine, huh...... Really good wine!"

"But since Your Majesty doesn't agree, then forget it...... Or the border soldiers are important......"

"What?" the empress was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes rolled......

"Ouch, I suddenly have a headache, what did you say to do it?

She blinked, as if she had forgotten everything, at this moment, there was no domineering spirit of a king of a country, but extremely cute......

Lin Zifan: "......"

Looking at the cute appearance of the empress pretending to have amnesia and playing helplessly, Lin Zifan was happy: "For winemaking?"

"Oh!!" The empress nodded again and again, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is for winemaking?"

Tsing Yi Purple Clothes: "......"

Your Majesty, what about your temperance?

Is this the so-called true fragrance?

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Lin Zifan smiled, and then said: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, at most, you can only use to defeat thousands of catties of iron, which will have little impact on the entire battle situation......

"And ......" the corners of his mouth curled: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid." It won't take too long, let's Datang, there will be no more iron shortage!"

"What?"

The empress's face changed, with a look of disbelief: "You mean...... Really?"

"Naturally, the minister will not deceive Your Majesty. Lin Zifan said indifferently: "But for the time being, the minister can't say clearly, and when the time comes, His Majesty will naturally know......"

"That's good!"

The empress instantly showed a bright smile: "I ...... We'll see!"

The lack of iron in the Tang Dynasty has given every generation of kings in the Tang Dynasty a headache, and even several emperors have led people to cross the Quartet to other countries to grab iron......

But just as Datang has never been rich, Datang's iron has never been rich.

The reason is that Nuoda is a big Tang Dynasty, and he can't find an iron mine that can be seen!

But no matter what, iron deficiency is iron deficiency, that's a fact!

Now, Lin Zifan actually said that Datang is likely to be short of iron for a while? This made the empress a little overjoyed!

If someone else said this to the empress, the empress would inevitably slap him in the face, and it was even likely to be slapped to death with one palm, so that you would talk nonsense and confuse the public?

But these words came from Lin Zifan's mouth, the quasi-prince who had never disappointed her......

The empress couldn't help but raise a touch of anticipation......
