For a few days, the East Palace only did one thing, and spent money!

Ever since he learned that his guards had been injured, Li Chengqian had an idea.

Brewing wine, purifying high alcohol for pro-health treatment.

In his previous life, as a handicraft expert on a certain sound, making wine and purifying alcohol was nothing to him.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he can cure the guard or not, the important thing is that he has a reasonable excuse to do it.

So in the past few days, Donggong has customized a large number of wine-making tools, and the rest of the money has been used to buy grain.

The reason why he did this was to deliberately find a reason for those civil officials to impeach him.

You must know that in the early years of Zhenguan, because of the continuous wars for many years, the food was in short supply, and the people couldn't eat enough.

The prince is immoral, inconsiderate of the people, wastes food, and is greedy for pleasure, and those civil officials must not impeach him like crazy?

Moreover, Li Chengqian did not hide it at all, and ordered people to buy grain in Chang'an City, so that Chang'an City knew that the prince was making wine in the East Palace.

On this day, Li Chengqian came to the newly built brewing workshop, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids were busy.

For winemaking, the people of the Tang Dynasty are no strangers, but the wine brewed in this era, in Li Chengqian's view, is bland and tasteless, like the wine that later generations drank somewhere.

Specifically, what it feels like, it's like mixing two pots with water.

And what Li Chengqian has to do is to distill high-grade liquor.

The cooked rice had been fermenting for six days, and the fermentation time was almost over, so here he came.

In the past few days, he has not done nothing, in addition to arranging for his subordinates to prepare distillation tools, he also studied the mortality rate of wounded soldiers in the Tang Dynasty army.

It's really not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.

Today's mortality rate is as high as 70 percent!

To be honest, after coming up with this high mortality rate, he was only in disbelief for a moment, and he didn't feel too much emotion, but a little more joy.

It's not that he's cold-blooded, it's that he hasn't been in Datang for a few days, and he has to beware of revealing stuffing all the time, and he lives carefully, so he really doesn't have the heart to empathize with these people who are already unfamiliar.

To put it mildly, at this moment, even if Li Er or Empress Changsun, his nominal parents, died, he estimated that there was no wave in his heart except for pretending to be sad.

In the final analysis, feelings are something that cannot be inherited.

"All ready?" Putting aside the messy thoughts in his head, Li Chengqian asked.

The person in charge of the wine-making workshop was the eunuch who was going to give eye medicine to the guards, and after Li Chengqian came, he waited on the side, and when Li Chengqian asked, he immediately replied: "Back to Your Highness, everything is ready." ”

After speaking, the old eunuch looked at Li Chengqian with some words and stops.

"Say whatever you want, don't be a fuss."

When the eunuch heard this, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, some people in the court are quite dissatisfied with Your Highness's move. ”

"Huh?" When Li Chengqian heard this, although there was no reaction on his face, he was happy in his heart, isn't this the result he wants?

"What else?"

The eunuch whispered, "Some people say that His Highness's move is a waste of food, which is not good for the country. ”

After that, he stopped making a sound, and just stood quietly aside.

Li Chengqian smiled, he understood, this guy was reminding himself, "Okay, no matter what they say, just do our own." ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian arranged for everyone to prepare for winemaking.

Distilled liquor is actually not difficult, compared with the brewing liquor of the Tang Dynasty, there is an additional distillation procedure.

This process requires a distiller, and in the case of the current Li Chengqian, there is no way to create a distill like that in later generations.

However, as a former master of craftsmanship, there is no problem in getting an earthen still.

Soon, Li Chengqian had the rice that had already been fermented poured into the pot, and then asked someone to put a still modified with steamers.

In fact, the so-called modification is nothing more than to open a hole for the steamer according to the requirements, connect a bamboo pipe, and then the distilled liquor will flow out along the bamboo pipe.

After all the preparations are made, it is time to put a heavenly pot on top of the steamer.

After all this was done, Li Chengqian said: "Burn the fire bigger, and fill the cauldron with water." ”

Although a group of people don't know why Li Chengqian did this, he is the crown prince, and everyone will do what he says.

When the cauldron was filled with water, everyone looked at this strange thing suspiciously, and a bold palace maid even whispered: "That's it?" ”

"Look at it." Li Chengqian said, "By the way, go and bring the jar and gauze that you prepared before, and put them under the bamboo pipe." ”

As for gauze, that's for filtration.

Speaking of gauze, Li Chengqian really admires the wisdom of his ancestors.

At first, he thought that there was no gauze in the Tang Dynasty, after all, the gauze he had touched was cotton, but when he asked tentatively, he realized that the Tang Dynasty had this thing for a long time.

I heard that there is a spinning tool called a spinning pendant, and its age is unknown......

After the palace maid put the altar away, a group of people watched and waited on the side.

Except for Li Chengqian, the big guys are very curious about what will happen later.

It didn't take long for people to wait, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out along the bamboo pipe.

"This ......" smelled this smell, and almost everyone was stunned.

"The smell of wine is too strong, isn't it?" A little palace maid whispered, her face full of disbelief.

Li Chengqian didn't care about this, and after waiting for a while, he asked people to replace the water in the heavenly pot with cold water, and at the same time took the first pot of wine aside and continued to distill.

Because the first pot wine contains too many impurities, anyway, in his later era, it was rare to see people drink it, after all, it is a life-saving thing, so it is better to be cautious.

And the wine after this is almost the same as the second pot head.

"Your Highness, this wine tastes too good, right?" At this time, the eunuch standing beside Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva in a mock way.

Li Chengqian smiled, what kind of mind is this guy, he knows a little bit, but he doesn't care, after all, it's not easy for anyone these days: "Want to take a bite?" ”

"Slaves don't dare spoil such good things." The old eunuch smiled.

"Okay, this thing smells fragrant, but if you really want to drink it, it's not that you can't drink it, wait until you're done for a while, and I'll reward you with a jar of good wine after you're done for a while."

When the old eunuch heard this, he immediately thanked him.

didn't talk to the eunuch anymore, and when he saw that the wine had come out, a big stone in Li Chengqian's heart fell.

To be honest, he was really worried that after a thousand years of time, his method would not work.

Now that the wine came out, he no longer worried about this, but pondered how to take advantage of such a good opportunity to go west to Chang'an.
