It was Bai Qin who helped Liang Xiao accept these customized appliances.

As Xuanwei, Bai Qin is a rare civil official among them, and he is deeply trusted by Duan Yunyi.

When Duan Yunyi arranged for him to assist Liang Xiao, he told Liang Xiao that he could trust him with confidence.

Liang Xiao really gave him all kinds of most important tasks, such as finance.

Bai Qin not only felt hard, but also had some joy.

This shows that this boss is indeed loyal to His Majesty, unlike those families who have a big tail, and all kinds of yang and yin are violated.

When Liang Xiao and Jiang Fuxue returned, the utensils had already filled the entire workshop.

Counting the sugar mill and the newspaper office, there are already twenty large and small workshops under Liang Xiao's name, all of which are from Baihe and Gongsun Ling.

However, these workshops in Baihe are actually empty shells, and all the equipment that can be removed has long been taken away by Baihe, and Liang Xiao has also saved cleaning up.

In contrast, Gongsun Ling was a lot more polite and gave him some of the tools of the bookstore.

Jiang Fuxue hugged Liang Xiao's arm, looked at the bottles and cans and grains in the workshop, blinked her watery eyes, and looked up at Liang Xiao.

"Brother, doesn't this look like sugar?"

"It's winemaking, making good wine and selling it to the rich, and only taking the high-end route." Liang Xiao replied.

Jiang Fuxue said worriedly: "Brother should drink in moderation, you can't drink too much......

Liang Xiao smiled knowingly and said, "Xue'er doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing. ”

Jiang Fuxue said aggrievedly: "So, that's Xue'er's......"

Liang Xiao was quickly defeated, and explained in a serious voice: "How come, no one cares more about my brother than you!" What my brother means is that he won't get drunk and make mistakes in the future. Because, my brother couldn't see Xue'er frightened. Tonight, my brother will tell you two more chapters of "Journey to the West"! ”

Jiang Fuxue was finally satisfied and smiled.

It's better to be this half-brother!

Look at the grandson Wuji of the same father and mother, but it's just a little blood relationship!

Seeing Liang Xiao's white sugar start, Jiang Fuxue and Grandma were no longer worried, but just quietly watched Liang Xiao's operation.

After all, as long as you master the sugar process, even if the wine industry fails, it doesn't hurt.

"He's going to get into the wine business?"

Receiving the notification, Duan Yunyi fell into deep thought.

"Sister, this year's grain harvest is acceptable, make a little wine, it's not a big problem. The biggest influence on grain prices is the Ram clan, which monopolizes the grain industry in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Duan Yunsleeve snorted.

Duan Yunyi glanced at the framed "Luo Shen Fu" on the table, nodded silently, and made an excuse for himself in his heart.

For the sake of "Luo Shen Fu", it is still ...... Trust him as always.

Zhuge Hui did not object.

The Great Zhou Dynasty implemented a liquor policy, strictly restricting the private brewing and self-sale of liquor, and the government monopolized its own interests.

The Jiangnan Ram clan, which controls the grain industry, also has the privilege of making wine, but it can only sell high-end wine of more than one or two per catty, and cannot sell wine in the form of buying wine and giving gifts and kickbacks.

Liang Xiao, as a first-class imperial merchant, has the privilege of winemaking, and takes the high-end route, so he will not compete with the imperial court for profit, but will only impact the wine industry of the Ram family.

It's just that how high-end can his wine be?

What can he brew?

Zhuge Hui knew that Liang Xiao had already controlled the sugar market in the capital, and if he wanted to expand externally, it would take time and planning.

Entering the wine and book industry is indeed the best choice.

But this concern is insignificant compared to the frequent good news in the East China Sea.

These few days are the happiest and most touching period in the lives of the sisters.

The yield of the salt pans is quite amazing, and the cost is incredibly low!

Under normal circumstances, the salt drying method does not need to use firewood to cook the sea as salt, which greatly saves the cost of manpower and material resources, and also saves production time.

In a word, salt merchants obtained certificates from the government, and then went to the salt factory to receive salt at a high price for resale, and the government collected a large amount of salt tax from it.

Even so, the salt merchants made a lot of money.

Especially the salt merchants in the area along the canal, the bosses behind the scenes are the Ram family, the Dugu family, and the Duanmu family......

The value of each merchant starts with tens of millions of taels of silver, and salt merchants worth millions of taels can only be regarded as "small merchants".

These salt merchants are so rich that they even play a rich list in the circle, competing for riches.

And the emperor of the third generation of the Great Week was worried about the emptiness of the treasury every day, and he couldn't find a suitable excuse to solve the matter, let alone refuse to send salt.

The reason is that the production of salt is too low, and the price of course cannot be reduced!

Once the government monopolizes the salt industry, fierce opposition from various families is not the primary threat.

If the price of salt is too high, it will provoke civil unrest.

After all, at this time, the people's salt contradiction was transferred to the side of the imperial court, and if there were any more people with intentions to incite the people to rebel against the imperial court, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If the government repeatedly fools customers like profiteers, it is killing itself.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Great Zhou court will not do such a risky thing.

"The production of salt will increase, the cost of salt for the people will be reduced, the income of the imperial court will increase, and fame and fortune will be gained, so Your Majesty can rest assured that the salt introduction law will be abolished!" Zhuge Hui's tone was unusually excited.

This is what Gaozu and Shizu dreamed of, and it will soon be realized in Duan Yunyi's generation!

Duan Yunyi nodded solemnly, and couldn't help but glance at the "Luo Shen Fu" on the wall, with mixed feelings.

The better he is, the more he contributes to the court, and the more guilty he feels!

Liang Xiao, as the new minister, is qualified to participate in the government.

Zhuge Hui specially arranged for Zhuge Cheng and others to take turns to communicate with him, convey the situation to Liang Xiao in a timely manner, popularize the experience of officialdom to Liang Xiao, and learn from Liang Xiao the idea of economic change by the way.

Considering that Liang Xiao is still in business, only Zhuge Cheng is in charge of this matter for the time being.

Since he knew that his sister had a secret promise to Liang Xiaofang, Zhuge Cheng became more and more concerned about Liang Xiao's affairs.

Liang Xiao, who had been busy in the wine shop for a day, returned home and looked at the financial report handed by Bai Qin, thoughtfully.

His business is growing, and he will inevitably officially enter the court in the future, and he needs some talents to help him.

Qin Baili and others, who were born in Jiangnan, are still concentrating on studying in Taixue, and it is inconvenient for him to disturb recently.

There is a high probability that the scholars in the capital are from those big families, and he can only let Xuanwei work hard and secretly visit talents.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liang Xiao's life is becoming more and more promising.

Nangong Ning, who divorced Liang Xiao, sat in Duanmu Yunqing's house, gritting his teeth and looking at the newspaper on the table, his body trembling violently, and his eyes were resentful.

The song "Queqiao Immortal" in the newspaper made her feel a sense of pain.

"He was able to write so many poems that could be passed down to the world, because he had always hidden them......"

In the past two days, her talented girlfriends have also been impressed by this poem, and every time they talk, they yearn for Liang Xiao and his people between the lines.

"Yun Qing! You also write a few songs and have a good fight with him! Nangong Ning hugged Duanmu Yunqing's arm and began to be coquettish.

Duanmu Yunqing said stupidly: "To create this kind of thing, it depends on inspiration...... I've been worrying about our marriage lately, and I can't write it! ”

Nangong Ning's face was full of disappointment.

That Liang Xiao was also promoted to a knighthood because of his meritorious service!

As the title left by the founding father, the Marquis of Lanling was second only to the Marquis of Dingguo in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the number of food estates was successively increased to 8,000.

At its least, there were 15,000 households.

When the Marquis of Zhenyuan had the most food, there were only 2,000 households, only a quarter of the Marquis of Lanling!

Liang Xiao, who was disgusted by himself, has a thriving career!

On the other hand, Duanmu Yuncheng and Duanmu Yunqing are still waiting for the court to vacate the fat difference......
