After steaming, Zhao Chongyang launched alcohol and liquor.

Alcohol is mainly used to make perfumes and medical disinfection, and liquor at 50 to 60 degrees is mainly used for drinking. Because, in another time and space, before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the alcohol content rarely reached more than 30. It's usually 15 to 20 degrees. Due to the very low degree, the main adverse consequences are: first, the taste is not good, all the wine is including the royal wine with special spices, and when you taste it in the mouth, there is a smell of water. Second, it is easy to deteriorate. Especially in Nanjing, which is located in the south, the wine in summer is more likely to spoil, and the spoiled wine is more difficult to drink, and drinking it will cause dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea and other phenomena.

Before going to the county school, Zhao Chongyang drew the figures and asked the ironsmith to make several stills out of steel according to the size. He also asked Wang Zhennan to find someone to build two independent large courtyards on the wharf, one for making liquor and the other for making alcohol and perfume. In the future, the staff who make liquor and perfume will eat and live inside, and only those who have a family can live outside.

On this day, Zhao Chongyang asked people to buy 1,200 catties of low-alcohol liquor, and he and Wang Zhennan personally led people to operate and distilled 282 catties of high-alcohol liquor of about 50 degrees. After the liquor came out, let Wang Zhennan, Mr. Qian and his second uncle and others taste it.

After tasting it slowly, several people said, is this the jade liquid elixir in the Yaochi Immortal Palace? It's so fragrant and pure, I can't compare to the imperial wine in the palace. Then, when it comes to sales, some say consistently one catty, some say five pounds, and some say ten pounds. In the end, Zhao Chongyang decided to take the high-end route, retail 10 yuan a catty, 10 catties can be taken at the wholesale price, 8 yuan a catty.

Zhao Chongyang said: "This time, the low-alcohol wine is 20 yuan a catty, and 1200 catties are 24 yuan, plus artificial firewood and venue fees, and the cost is 40 yuan." 282 catties are wholesaled according to 8 guan a catty, worth 2265 guan, erasing the fraction, counting 2000 guan, and the profit is as high as 50 times"

Mr. Qian said: "God! 24 pieces of things, made out worth more than 2,000, this way to make money is faster than robbing money. And robbing money is to exchange your life for money, which is not a risk. ”

"It's a very simple process, as long as you have a still and someone to guide you, you can learn it in a day. Therefore, the people in this wine workshop must be trustworthy to us, otherwise once someone betrays, this technology will not care about the money. The point is that others do not have good steel, and the stills made of ordinary iron are easy to rust, and the wine made of them becomes poisoned wine. It's about killing people. Zhao Chongyang solemnly admonished a few people.

In the end, it was Wang Zhennan who proposed to go to the tooth shop and buy a batch of minions to come back and make it safe. Zhao Chongyang said: "Good way, the slaves bought back are domestic slaves, their slaves are in the hands of their masters, unless they go up the mountain to be bandits, it is difficult to run out an inch." ”

"I'll leave this matter to Uncle Wang and Mr. Qian. I went to book the people first, and after the simple housing was repaired, I bought all the people back. If you have a small family, buy them so that they will be grateful and desperate for your use. Please ask Mr. Qian and Uncle Wang to tell the newly bought house slaves that I, Zhao Chongyang, will definitely not treat them badly. Those who work are also paid, and men and women are paid equally for equal work, and they are paid twice a month. Carpenters, blacksmiths, and stonemasons went to work in the corresponding workshops, and the wages were three. Those who have been the shopkeeper will go to the store, and those who have been the bookkeeper will be the assistant of Mr. Qian, and learn to manage the accounts. After the shopkeeper can stand alone, depending on the size of the business under his management and the prosperity of the business, he can also increase the monthly income to 5 to 10 yuan. Born strong and strong, Uncle Wang will arrange for the dart master to train them, and train them as the backbone of the bodyguard team in the future. The old and weak let them grow some vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks after the wharf pipe farm, chicken farms, and pig farms were repaired. At the same time, the dwellings of each family were repaired to them. Taking advantage of the upcoming New Year, Renyazi wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, so he hurries to get all the people. I'll pay all the money, and you can just do it. Find someone to repair the simple house as soon as possible, and in the winter, first solve the problem of feeding them, dressing them warmly, and not freezing at night. ”

As for the issue of shares, it is still divided by Zhao Chongyang, the Liu family, the Zhao family, and the original Weiyuan Dart Bureau temporarily account for two percent, and the two percent are reserved for the new franchise, and the two percent are reserved for the development of new products.

After the distribution of shares, Wang Zhennan immediately arranged for someone to find a carpenter to build a simple house. Because things are in a hurry, and it is close to the end of the year, the salary is directly doubled. Sure enough, there was money and it was easy to do things, a few carpenters, more than 200 small workers, under the command of a few experienced masters, rushed to work overnight, and finally completed dozens of simple houses before the year. On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Zhennan and Mr. Qian went to Yahang to bring all the more than 300 servants who had negotiated the price a few days ago and paid the deposit back to the wharf and arranged a new home at the wharf.

This time, the boss of the tooth shop was happy. All the slaves of Yaxing were bought out, and a total of 382 official slaves and private slaves were all bought out by Wang Zhennan and Mr. Qian in the name of Zhao Chongyang. In the past, no one wanted to ask for a villain over the age of 12 or an elderly person over the age of 60. Only young adults over the age of 15 are the most sought-after, and they need to be one in thirty. Women between the ages of 12 and under 40 are generally around 20. The old, weak, sick and disabled are only worth two or three dollars, and sometimes they accumulate too much, and no one wants to give them away for nothing.

Most of these domestic slaves were family members and domestic slaves of convicts, and only a few were abducted by human traffickers who were homeless and in debt.

382 house slaves were brought back to Anpai into the new house, and after they were familiar with the environment and put away their few personal belongings, Zhao Chongyang asked them to go to the dock staff to have dinner, and Zhao Chongyang made people prepare a sumptuous dinner and let them have a good meal.

After the meal, Zhao Chongyang, as the little master, gave them a simple lecture: "When you come here, you can do things with peace of mind, as long as you are obedient and not lazy, I guarantee that you have enough to eat, clothes to wear, and you can get paid for your work." ”

Zhao Chongyang pointed to Wang Zhennan and Mr. Qian and said: "My Uncle Wang is the general manager here, and this Mr. Qian is the deputy general manager and financial director, and the two of them will arrange specific work for you in the future." As long as you follow their management and arrangement, your life will get better and better. In your new home, everyone has the necessities of life at home: two coal stoves, used for heating, boiling water, cooking, 40 catties of rice, 20 catties of flour, 5 catties of meat, 3 catties of oil, and 2 catties of salt. There is no shortage of pots and pans. Tomorrow you will be able to cook and eat in your new house. Coal is not money for the time being, so I will use it at the place where the coal is piled up at the wharf. Before the tenth day of the first month, arrange everyone's work. Elderly people who are literate and literate can take the initiative to take on the teaching work of the dock school, teach their own dolls, and all the dolls from 6 to 12 years old will participate in the study, and they will start work on the 16th day of the first lunar month. So, rest assured, when you come to me, whether you are a single man or a woman, or a family person, you will be treated equally. Even if it is an elderly person and a child who cannot work, I will still give them food. Next, let Mr. Wang and Mr. Qian register each of you. In the future, I will be able to assign work to everyone. ”

After a while, Wang Zhennan registered the craftsmen first, and got three blacksmiths, two stonemasons, and three carpenters.

In the future, the stonemasons will take a group of apprentices to do a good job in the construction of the stone ridges on the wharf, and the carpenters will lead people to build carpentry houses on the wharf to serve the construction of the wharf. Three blacksmiths, two of whom had families, sent them to Liujia Village with their families to enter the weapon-making workshop, making swords, swords, armor and repeaters. On the basis of the Zhuge repeater of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Chongyang designed a boxed small repeater, each box contains 10 arrow crossbows, the maximum range is 150 meters (100 steps), with spring power, within 90 meters (60 steps), the lethality is strong. After it is ready to be built, it will be distributed to the bodyguard team that escorts the goods in the future, and when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the lethality is better than that of a bow and arrow. The blacksmith who didn't have a family was called Cheng Dakang, 28 years old, good-looking, tall and strong. He himself said that the blacksmith trade was passed on to him by his father, and that he had learned it well, that both his father and son were slaves of other people's families, and that his father was killed by his master because he interceded for another slave, and that the master saw that he was born fierce, and was afraid that he would retaliate, so he sold him to the human tooth shop. Zhao Chongyang planned to keep him by his side for the time being, teach him some mechanical principles, and let him be in charge of building tunnels and firing guns.

And the young and middle-aged women registered with Mr. Qian also found a few available people. One of the girls was 16 years old, well-versed in literature and ink, and could do arithmetic. is the daughter of a county magistrate, named Mo Huiqi. His father offended the powerful and was confiscated from his home. Her five views are sweet, which is a match for Qian Xiaoan. Zhao Chongyang wanted to fight for the opinions of Mr. Qian and Qian Xiao'an, and then for Mo Huiqi's opinions, if both parties were willing, they would get rid of her slavery two years later and marry her to Xiao An. When Mo Huiqi was at home, he helped the family's commercial bank take care of the accounts. Zhao Chongyang decided to hand over the management of the winery to her in the future.

Another woman, Song Pincui, 26 years old, was the concubine of a convict with a 6-year-old son, who had died on the way to the army. Looking a little shrewd and capable, according to Song Pincui herself, she had helped her husband's family manage the hotel, and Zhao Chongyang decided to let her manage the perfume workshop. One
