Hu Changan took out a small and delicate silver wine jug from the basket he carried, handed it to the eunuch beside him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the first item, called rum." This wine is stronger than all the wines in the world, and it is superb. ”

"Oh, what a big breath, I'd like to have a good taste of your so-called rum." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, Hu Weiyong, the son of the old fox, is really good at craftsmen.

First, he invented soap, which was popular throughout the city, and now he is offering a masterpiece that is said to be stronger than all alcohol.

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to take a good look at how this wine is.

Hu Weiyong at the foot of the steps couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he listened to Hu Changan's arrogant words.

Son, when will you make wine, or the number one spirit in the world?

His Majesty fought in the north and south, saw a lot of knowledge, and drank a lot of tribute wine after becoming the emperor, and his vision is incomparable to ordinary people, and he will be debunked in front of him if he talks nonsense!

The officials in Hu Weiyong's camp are all afraid to come out.

As a hostile force of Hu Weiyong's faction, the civil officials of the Zhedong Group are happy at this time.

Unexpectedly, Hu Weiyong, an old fox, has always been cautious, and now he has been stolen by his own son.

The civil officials of the Zhedong Group all snickered, waiting to see Hu Changan's jokes.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the eunuchs on the left and right to take a small porcelain cup and pour a little wine from the silver wine jug into it.

The stopper on the silver wine jug had just been unscrewed, and a rich aroma of wine suddenly diffused in the Taihe Palace.

As the founding emperor of the world on horseback, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally drank a lot of good wine, but there has never been a wine with such a mellow and strong taste.

It seems that this Hu Weiyong's son still has two brushes. Zhu Yuanzhang was a little interested, sat up straight from the back of the chair, and stared at the wine in the glass.

I saw that the wine in the glass, unlike the turbidity of ordinary wine, was unexpectedly clear, as clear as water.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the wine-making process was not developed, and the wine often contained a large number of impurities.

Even the so-called liquor is only slightly white and cloudy in color, which is far from being comparable with the liquor of later generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the new wine, and immediately became interested, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Taking a sip of rum into his throat, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly widened, his face flushed, and he almost spit out the wine in one gulp despite the emperor's majesty.

For no other reason, this wine is too strong.

This sip was not like wine, but a blazing flame that burned from the mouth to the stomach, and a spicy smell rushed straight to the brain.

Compared with this rum, the other wines are the younger brothers, and they are not even as good as plain water.

"Good wine." Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass and praised repeatedly.

This time, Hu Weiyong's faction's heart was completely put down, and he was even a little happy.

Unexpectedly, Hu Changan really offered the world's best wine, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance of dragon face and great joy, there must be a reward.

Hu Changan also showed an expected smile.

This rum is a distilled liquor, with an alcohol content of 50 percent, and it is not a rice wine liquor on the market.

The aroma of wine floating in the Taihe Hall stimulated everyone's gluttony.

Fortunately, the civil officials are okay, and those military attachés who are addicted to alcohol have long been unable to hold back.

Even His Majesty praised the wine, how fragrant it should be!

Zhu Yuanzhang is also a generous person, and he seems to have seen the expectations of the ministers, waved his hand to call a team of eunuchs, and distributed the remaining wine in the silver pot to everyone.

Everyone went down in one bite and couldn't help but admire.

"Oh my God, it's really the best of the wine, it's a lot stronger than the liquor on the market."

"I, Lan Yu, have been fighting in the south and north for many years, and I have never drunk such a good wine, and I am happy."

"This rum is the real thing, compared to the water I used to drink."

In the Taihe Palace, it was happy, and the ministers were tasting the wine with relish.

Suddenly, a discordant voice broke the atmosphere at this time: "I don't know what kind of grain this wine is made of." ”

The one who stood up and spoke was Yushi Liu Jing.

Liu Jing is the son of Liu Bowen, the leader of the Zhedong Group.

Five years ago, Liu Bowen died of illness, and the last person to visit him before his death was Hu Weiyong.

In the court, the Huai Group led by Hu Weiyong has always been at odds with the Zhedong Group led by Liu Bowen.

Even in the restaurant of Ying Tiancheng, it is rumored that Hu Weiyong started in medicine and assassinated Liu Bowen.

Although there is no substantive evidence, as Liu Bowen's son, Liu Jing naturally doesn't like Hu Weiyong, and he finds trouble with Hu Weiyong in the court all day long.

Everyone was still immersed in the smoky wine, and when they heard Liu Jing's words, they suddenly sobered up a lot.

Liu Jing looked around and saw that most of the people had come back to their senses, so he spoke again: "It costs a lot to make wine with grain. ”

"Our dynasty has just been established, and it has experienced the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the time when the people's livelihood is withering, and it is time for us to cultivate and recuperate, and we must not open up extravagance and increase the burden on the people."

"How can such a precious grain be used to make wine if it is not enough for people to eat?"

The ministers listened to Liu Jing's words, and the wine in their hands suddenly became unfragrant.

Who doesn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a staunch prohibitionist.

As early as the war that year, Zhu Yuanzhang issued several military orders prohibiting drinking because of the preciousness of food.

General Hu Dahai, who was quite prestigious in the army before, died because of selling moonshine.

Thinking of this, everyone was excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was immersed in fine wine, was also sobered up a lot by these words.

Yes, although good wine is good, it is not good to work hard and lose money.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Changan at the bottom of the steps seriously and asked, "I don't know what this wine is made of?" ”

In the main hall, there was a sudden silence, and the needle drop could be heard.

Especially Hu Weiyong, the cold sweat that had stopped was even happier.

However, Hu Changan was not afraid at all.

Joke, I already knew Lao Zhu's frugal temperament, how could he choose the grain brewing method?

There are many wine-making methods to choose from in the system, and there are all kinds of sorghum wine, and Hu Changan specially chose this little-known rum for now.

Hu Changan smiled and said aloud: "Back to Your Majesty, the raw material of this rum is the residue left after sugarcane is made into sugar. ”

What!

There was a commotion in the main hall.

Some of the ministers had heard of making wine from rice, and some had heard of making wine from mung beans, but they had never heard of making wine from sugar cane.

When will this sugar cane be made into wine?

It's still such a delicious wine!

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked puzzled.

However, compared with the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang thought further.

Sugarcane is widely available in Fuzhou, a major sugar-producing province, and it is much cheaper than grain.

The most important thing is that this rum is not made from sugar cane, but from the residue left over from sugar cane!

Doesn't this mean that in the future, people can turn waste into treasure, drink sweet wine, and not waste food!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing suddenly became much heavier, and his eyes stared at Hu Changan under the steps with fiery eyes.
