Different from the current way of teaching fathers and sons, in the era of the information explosion in later generations, almost no one was spared, and everyone was instilled with some knowledge that was actually useless.

And these, often called, popular science.

The brewing industry in the Ming Dynasty has gradually risen and entered an unprecedented peak.

The distilled soju, although it has a high degree, was not generally accepted by the Ming Dynasty at that time, so it was still rice wine that was commonly drunk.

"Get some soju first, it's not too good... Anything goes. ”

The old bustard looked at Wang Siqi suspiciously, and couldn't help but speak: "Didn't Wang Gongzi say that he wanted to brew a better wine than Jiuxian Dew?" Why do you ask people to get some ordinary shochu? ”

Wang Siqi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Could it be that you really want to start from making koji, fermenting and distilling step by step?

When it comes out, I'm afraid that I will have to be reported as a missing person by the cheap father, so Wang Siqi said unceremoniously: "Young Master Ben is not trying to teach you to make wine, but to make these ordinary soju like the best treasures in the palace." ”

The bustard obviously didn't believe it, but he still told the little guy to take out a lot of soju from the counter.

It's just the cheapest kind of shoji.

Seeing that the wine was brought, Wang Siqi said again: "I'm afraid I can't finish it today, all these wines are requisitioned by Young Master Ben and sent to the Baoyuan Bureau, and then sent back after making good wine." ”

"Ahh Wang Gongzi.. How can this be done? If you can't do it, please pay the money before leaving. ”

"Can't do it! Someone to check out! ”

"Let's go!"

The old bustard didn't dare to stop Wang Siqi, so he had to beat his chest and say, "That's good!" But the prince also said that when the time comes, I won't see the wine, and I will have to see the silver! ”

"In less than three days!" "Good!"

Waiting out of the gate of the Tibetan Flower Pavilion, Wang Yihuan felt for the first time that the pawns and ordinary people on the streets of the capital were far more lovely than the Oiran in the Tibetan Flower Pavilion.

At least, they won't ask for 20,000 taels of silver!

But thinking of the silver, Wang Yihuan was sad again!

Turned his face to look at Wang Siqi and said, "Lord Overseer, it's better to..." I replied to Jurong to think of a way, 20,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is not easy to make it up within three days."

"No more time can be wasted."

"Yo! I didn't see it, the little Jurong County Order can also take out 20,000 taels of silver, I knew that Young Master Ben would leave you in the Hidden Flower Pavilion, and you don't have to mix it into this muddy water. ”

"Ahem... Gotta borrow something.. Borrow points! ”

"That's it! Back to the treasure source bureau! ”

Wine is not a small business, and if the Baoyuan Bureau wants to shine in Wang Siqi's hands, it must have a business that can be used to provide a steady stream of funds to the Baoyuan Bureau.

After all, there is no money in hand, and it is not easy to say that the sky is broken.

After Wang Siqi got into the carriage, he looked at Feng Zongwu, who had to follow him, and said, "Lord Feng, I don't know how many craftsmen are under the Baoyuan Bureau, but what I saw in the Baoyuan Bureau today is all of them?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, it's exact! Today, there are a total of 314 craftsmen in the Baoyuan Bureau. ”

Three hundred and fourteen people, Wang Siqi has calculated, if you want to ensure that the coinage of the Ministry of Industry is not affected, then at least two hundred and eighty craftsmen are needed.

And I am afraid that only the remaining thirty-four people can be called.

"When I go back, everyone except the craftsman in charge of coinage is all gathered together, and the official has something to say."

"Understood!"

Although I don't know what Wang Siqi is going to do.

But where would Feng Zongwu question him, after all, Wang Yihuan was tossed miserably this time, and when they arrived at the Hidden Flower Pavilion, Feng Zongwu saw Wang Yihuan already with a dead face.

This Young Master Wang.. It's really tricky.

The carriage slowly stopped outside the Baoyuan Bureau, Wang Siqi stepped out of the carriage and looked at Wang Yihuan, and said, "Today's siege, Young Master Ben has solved it for you, do you know what to do next?" ”

Wang Yihuan, who was confused, did not speak.

I saw that Wang Siqi looked like he hated iron but not steel, sighed and said: "Next, you have to act according to Young Master Ben's orders, and you want a good future..." Just go and change it with your own skills! ”

"If not, Young Master Ben can let you eat deflated in the Hidden Flower Pavilion once, and he can continue to make you uncomfortable in other places."

Boy.. Where has Wang Yihuan seen such a person.

can say shamelessly with such a threatening meaning, but thinking about the 20,000 taels of silver, Wang Yihuan had to quickly pick up Wang Siqi's words.

"Lord Overseer, the lower official understands!"

"You and Master Feng should go together."

The ambassador and the deputy went out together, and it didn't take long for the craftsmen to be gathered together, and in the middle of summer they were prone to mosquitoes, and although it was obvious that the wives of these craftsmen were already washing their clothes as much as possible, the smell was still difficult to hide.

Almost everyone was dressed in vegetables, and after a few steps, a few people gasped.

Seeing this, Wang Siqi looked at everyone and said, "Yesterday, the official went to the Hidden Flower Pavilion, and spent 20,000 taels of silver in one night's work. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Siqi did not continue.

Instead, he looked at each of the craftsmen, whose faces were either shocked or numb, but without exception they still had a clear understanding of the amount of 20,000 taels of silver.

One of them, a slightly younger craftsman, couldn't help but be speechless.

Such a demeanor was keenly captured by Wang Siqi, and he saw him call the name of the young craftsman and said: "In the morning, this official has already seen you once, but it is a little Mao, a little Mao's rules, and I don't know your names one by one."

"You.. Come out and tell the officer how you feel when you hear what you just said. ”

As if he didn't believe that Wang Siqi called his name, the young craftsman swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little nervously, and then whispered: "Lord Overseer.. I just thought it was a lot of money, and if I had that much money, I could be a master. ”

"Hahaha! Oops, the kid has a lot of ambitions! ”

Wang Siqi's hearty laughter made the craftsmen present laugh too, even if their coinage skills represent the highest level of this era.

But after all, most of them have never studied and can't read a few words.

They are all rough people, and they can't help but be infected by Wang Siqi's smile, and they laugh one after another.

Some even looked at the young craftsman and laughed and said, "Look! The second dog doesn't want to be a master, but wants to marry a man! ”

"Haha! Who says it isn't, if it's not a craftsman! Maybe the second dog has tasted it too! ”

Two meat jokes came out like this.

The young craftsman who was called Ergouzi couldn't help but blush.
