Chapter 104 Boiled Frogs in Warm Water

"Chen Shan Chao greets Your Majesty."

Liu Zhi looked up from under the lamp and pointed to the table next to him, "Sit down." ”

"I asked Duan Xi to worship Captain Huqiang and went to Liangzhou, the position of General Long Lin Wei, how about you come?"

Between him and Shan Chao, he has always spoken without turning around the bush, and is more direct.

Shan Chao thought for a while, "It's okay, the minister is alone, he has no scruples, and he just does this kind of thing." ”

According to Liu Zhi's original intention, Long Lin Wei Zhonglang must not collude with the interests of the family, and can only be loyal to him alone, and Shan Chaonaturally also understands this truth.

"I heard that you also have a nephew, do you want to arrange an official position for him?"

This is a reward, after all, his brother died early, and his nephew was basically raised by him, like father and son.

"No need, that kid is not an official, anyway, I gave him all my money, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Shan Chao's attitude was indeed beyond his expectations, he originally planned to beat it, but now he can't say it.

"Well, then I'll give you more money."

Although they are all sealed, this kind of marquis is a generational end, and the descendants cannot be hereditary, only money is the most real.

"You can choose some people in the tiger ben and the ruling Jinwu, and the palace attendants can also have suitable ones, don't rush, take your time."

"No."

Shan Chao bowed his hand and retreated to the door, only then turned around and left, this detail made Liu Zhi fall into deep thought.

Among these heroes, how many people can be as sober-minded and cautious as Shan Chao?

Although Zuo Yi is loyal, he is obviously a villain, and he belongs to the type of rampant will, so he can't be allowed to participate in government affairs, and he has to be careful from time to time.

Tang Heng is acting in moderation, and with a little bit of appropriation, he should remember to restrain his relatives at all times.

Although Xu Huang is a eunuch, his talent is enough to match the minister, so he can't be regarded as a eunuch.

The rest of the state auxiliary, left, Zhang Rang and the like, can not be too favored, the lessons of the past, can not be guarded against.

Liu Zhi closed his eyes tiredly, thinking that if he overthrew Liang Ji, he would be able to make peace in the world, but it seemed that he was thinking too simply.

If he wants to bring the declining carriage of the Han Dynasty back to the right path, he still has a long way to go.

Think about it, it has only been a few decades since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the entire Han Dynasty is full of chaos and leaks.

But where is the root of the problem?

Later scholars mostly blamed eunuchs for interfering in politics and dictatorship of foreign relatives, but he felt that this was only a symptom, and the real problem was that land annexation was too serious.

The large families and local tycoons annexed a large amount of land, causing the people to be displaced and miserable.

Coupled with the continuous natural disasters and plagues, the people could not bear the suffering, which led to rebellions, and in the process of rebellion, countless warlords directly sprouted, and finally the Han court lost its control over the place.

But this land reform is not easy to do, it cannot be radical, and Wang Mang was the best example back then.

If the cake of all the aristocratic classes is moved, then he, the emperor, should also be dismounted.

Emperor Guangwu still relied on the opportunity of the chaos in the world and the reshuffle of the cards to solve part of the problem, and for more than a hundred years, it gradually returned to its original state.

This time Liang Ji's property was confiscated, and he took the opportunity to nationalize a large amount of land and redistribute it to civilians for cultivation, but compared to the whole country, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

After thinking about it, he still decided to concentrate all the power in his own hands first, as long as he could say one thing, order and prohibit, reform things, and give him a boiled frog in warm water.

By straightening out the rule of the officials, they pulled half and beat half, and let them spit out what they had eaten.

Liu Zhi's eyes flashed with a playful smile, Lao Tzu has no talent, can't he copy his homework? Later Emperor Tang Dynasty, Song Zuming Emperor...... There are many examples and cases.

What kind of bullshit, don't approve it, he still recalls it well, there are some genius strokes in later generations, and he stole it himself...... Oh, it's a reference to use it.

Alas, if you think about it, you need money to carry out any reform.

Although he just bought three billion dollars, which sounds like a lot, in order to buy people's hearts, he exempted the people of the world from paying taxes for half a year, which is almost two offsets.

Now we have to use soldiers to fight, and the money is like running water, and the treasury is empty again, which is really sad.

In addition to selling officials and lords, what else is there to make money quickly and not hurt people's livelihood?

If you want to make money more and faster, it must be daily bulk consumables, but salt and copper and iron have long been nationalized, what else......

No, it's really the same, Liu Zhi looked at the cup in his hand and smiled.

Haha, that's wine.

The Han people's love for wine is much more fanatical than modern Coca-Cola, eating, drinking, chatting and drinking, and drinking a little wine if you can't sleep......

In short, for those who are a little wealthier, the wine is drunk as tea, and when the guests come, they will directly serve the bowl of wine.

Wherever there is well water, there are people who make wine, and even the emperor is jealous of this business, and the Han Dynasty has several times put wine and salt under the government's brewing.

But because the opposition was too loud, it had to be abolished in the end.

If he wants to monopolize this business, he can only make a fuss about the brewing method.

The wine of the Han Dynasty was directly fermented, similar to modern mash, and then filtered through a fine silk mesh.

It is conceivable that the degree of wine is not high, so people at that time drank very boldly, and there were three bowls at every turn, mainly because it was not easy to get drunk.

Due to the poor production technology of koji, the production process is simple and rough, and the same fermentation method, the quality of the wine is too far worse than that of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

As for the modern method of distillation, it is even more out of reach, and he happens to be very familiar with craft wine.

In his last life, Liu Zhi's grandfather opened a handmade brewing workshop, and he helped in it every day, and every step was clear.

As soon as you close your eyes, those scenes come to life, and you will be immersed in the rich aroma of wine throughout your childhood.

From the local method of making koji, to the selection of ingredients, cooking, fermentation, pressing and the final distillation process, all of them are well understood.

He is not a highly educated engineering man, and he can change the world by inventing and creating after crossing over, but he is full of confidence only in making wine.

"Little Jean, bring a pen and paper."

Just do it, Liu Zhi is ready to write out the process of winemaking in detail overnight, coupled with simple drawings, I believe that there is no big problem.

Although he is an ordinary grain wine in the countryside, compared with famous wines such as Moutai Wuliangye, it is separated by 108,000 miles, but compared with the backward level of the ancients, it is already a difference between cloud and mud.

When the time comes, it will be sold to those pretentious ministers and nobles at a high price, which will definitely make them want to be drunk and can't stop, and they will happily rush to send him money.

After drawing a set of flow charts, Liu Zhi suddenly found a big problem, other links can be perfectly copied, only distillation, the most critical link, cannot.

Grandpa directly bought a stainless steel still back then, and now there is no such thing, but the principle is very simple.

Tomorrow, the examiner will come over to study it together, and he won't believe it, and this bronze distillation pot can't make wine.
