Chapter 21 Still not optimistic
Although the Great Song Dynasty was rich, but the taxes were also heavy, especially Cai Jing, a famous traitor in history, openly proposed to the emperor the strategic concept of "Fengheng Yuda", which tickled the bastard emperor, so the rulers of Bianjing City sang and danced to promote peace, and sang songs every night, which was simply a very prosperous world; and Cai Jing and his party members took the opportunity to exploit the people under the banner of "changing the law" and wantonly exploited the people, causing great damage to social production.

Therefore, the bankruptcy of the winery abounds, because no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it cannot stand the exploitation of the officials, and if the relationship is not in place, then bankruptcy is inevitable.
The three in front of him are all people from Yanggu County, and the leader is called Fang Canghai, who turned out to be the shopkeeper of an excellent winery in Yanggu County, apprenticed at the age of twelve or thirteen, and became a big worker in the fire and cutting materials step by step, and was promoted to the shopkeeper. And the other two are the apprentices he brought out, one is called Yuan Xiaoying, Yuan Xiaoxiong, originally he also had two capable apprentices, respectively called Yuan Xiaohao Yuan Xiaojie, because of his bad temper, he collided with nobles, and was killed by someone who designed to use Jianghu hawkers.
They work hard for a year, and the hard-earned money is not enough to make the usual money, and those guys in normal shops, even if they can eat enough when they are apprentices for three years, even if they don't want to take the salary, even if they get the salary, it is considered rich and abnormal to get two or three times a year.
And take two times a month, I'm afraid it's a guy from the famous Fan Lou in Bianjing City who has this treatment.
Although Fang Canghai couldn't believe that pie would fall from the sky, he couldn't resist the temptation after all, so he took the documents and went to the county seat, consulted with the priest who was familiar with him before, and inquired about Zhu Biao's majestic deeds, and finally put his mind at ease and signed a clerical contract with Zhu Biao.
Soon Zhujiazhuang hired workers in Pantuo Road, built a winery, and arranged for people to buy sorghum on a large scale.
"What? Zhu Biao's house is buying sorghum on a large scale, and he has already entered dozens of stones in the past few days? Is he crazy? Zhu Taigong won't stop it?"
In Lijiazhuang, Li responded to Duchen.
Du Xing also looked puzzled: "I didn't expect this Zhu Biao to play really, what is there to drink sorghum wine? After taking a bite, his head hurts as if he was cut by an axe, and even our tenants in Lijiazhuang have few people to drink?"
Li Ying sneered: "On the banquet that day, I also persuaded him, hum, don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you!
In Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Biao is looking at the training of the escort team, after more than 20 days of rigorous training, the escort team has barely looked good, not only can distinguish the front and back, left and right, but also can practice together with a bamboo pole, quite a trace of formation.
At this time, Zhu Santong came to report: "San Lang, there is a person in the family, and San Lang is afraid that he will greet him in person." β
"Oh, who?"
Zhu Santong smiled and said, "But it is the lady who has not passed the door of San Lang, the housemother of the villain, the daughter of Hujiazhuang, and the one who is called Yizhang Qing." β
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and gently patted Zhu Santong's head: "You guy, you dare to make fun of the master!"
When his fiancΓ©e came to visit, Zhu Biao naturally wanted to see him, he temporarily put down his things and rushed to the hall, and saw his mother pulling a girl in a strong suit, asking softly, and seeing Zhu Biao enter the door, the girl glanced at him, and her face gradually turned red.
Zhu Biao smiled and stepped forward to say hello, everyone sat down separately, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I heard Brother Hu say, Sanniang practices martial arts every day, and the two of them are superb, why are you free to come here today?"
Hu Sanniang hadn't spoken yet, and Zhu's mother said angrily: "Bastard, what does it mean to have time to come here? This is also Sanniang's home, I just hope that Sanniang will pass the door as soon as possible, and you two will get married as soon as possible and give birth to a big fat boy, and I will be satisfied." β
Zhu Biao smiled, Hu Sanniang's pretty face turned red, and she glanced at Zhu Biao fiercely with her eyes. Zhu Mu saw it, and her heart liked it more and more.
A few people joked a few words, and Hu Sanniang said: "Sanlang, I heard that you are buying sorghum on a large scale, is it possible that you really make that sorghum wine?"
Zhu Biao said: "If others don't believe me, it's okay, and Sanniang doesn't believe me either?"
Hu Sanniang said: "How can this be distrustful? The good wine in this world is made of rice and wheat, and the wine made from sorghum is not only unpalatable, but also top, the world knows, why do you still use sorghum to make wine?"
Zhu Biao laughed and said: "I flipped through the ancient books and found that during the period of Dayu's flood control, the common people ate sorghum. β
When he talked about another topic, Hu Sanniang paused for a moment and said, "San Lang still reads ancient books, but what does this have to do with sorghum wine." β
Zhu Biao staggered, as if he was an old pedant, and said: "There are clouds in ancient books, 'In the past, the emperor ordered Yi Di to make wine and be beautiful, enter Yu, and drink and be sweet', it can be seen that Dayu said that sorghum wine is good. By the way, that Yidi is also a woman, that is, the wine shop envoy of the Dayu era, it can be seen that since ancient times, women can also be officials. β
He talked nonsense, where did Hu Sanniang know the truth, he only felt that this San Lang began to read and progress, and he liked it more and more, and unconsciously forgot the sorghum wine, and joked with him in his mouth: "In the future, I will become an official, and I will definitely kill a feudal husband and shadow with two sun and moon knives in my hands!" After speaking, he sneered, like a peach blossom in full bloom, that is, Zhu Biao was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.
After Hu Sanniang returned to Hujiazhuang, he said to Hu Cheng: "Is San Lang an ordinary person? He has been reading poetry and books recently, and he will be a person who is both civil and military in the future. What do you know?"
Hu Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is Dayu?"
Hu Sanniang said: "You don't know Dayu, it's the Dayu who passed through the door three times and didn't enter!" After that, he pouted and returned to his room with a smile.
Hu Cheng was dumbfounded, turned his head to look at Hu Taigong, and asked: "Daddy, what does this sorghum wine have to do with Dayu? Could it be that Zhu Biao really got the secret recipe for ancient winemaking?"
When Hu Taigong heard this, he raised the cane in his hand and knocked on it, and reprimanded: "Aren't you very steady on weekdays? Why is your sister talking nonsense, but you are serious?"
Hu Cheng was stunned, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said, "I see, this Zhu Biao prevaricated the little sister." β
"That's natural, although the girl who got married spilled the water, but your sister was instigated and persuaded by you before she got married, so Zhu Biao naturally guarded against it, for fear that your uncle would steal it. β
Hu Chengqiang smiled: "How come? If Zhu Biao succeeds in brewing wine and the wine shop sells well, the little sister will naturally become more and more prosperous after passing the door, and I will naturally be happy for him." I'm worried that he was deceived, and he has to go up to the pole to make sorghum wine, and when the time comes, he will lose money, and my little sister will not be comfortable marrying it!"
Hu Taigong said: "Your brother-in-law punched Luan Yanyu and bent the tiger cage steel bar with one hand, what kind of courage? Who dares to deceive him, I think you are too careful." β
Hu Cheng said: "Yes, yes, I want to come to my father's opinion, but I am too worried." β
But I thought in my heart: "Zhu Biao, you are blindly stubborn and self-serving, and you have to use sorghum to make bad wine, and when the time comes, you will suffer hardship, I am afraid that you will only know my good words!"
