Chapter 36: Winemaking

"Master Fang walks slowly, come and sit down if you have nothing to do." Chen Chao stood at the gate of the camp and beckoned to see Fang Xiu off.

Looking at the back of the old man who had lost his soul and left, Chen Chao said again, "Lord Fang, I know that you are a great Confucian, a seed of reading. Qingshan County is rebuilt, the school lacks Mr. Teaching, if Lord Fang doesn't dislike it, please come to three or five friends to teach those dolls to read and write, okay? ”

Fang Xiu didn't speak.

It's just that every step he takes, he is very determined, and he slowly disappears into the end of the street that is about to be completed, and he is still reminiscing about what Chen Chao just said.

Gate valves? Commoners?

Which is more important?

Behind the Chen Dynasty are thousands of people, will he lose?

The result is obvious, he will not lose!

It turned out that he had no fear for a long time! It turned out that he had already arrived!

Daji has the Chen Dynasty, which is lucky, but it is sad that the royal family has the Chen Dynasty, because the Chen Dynasty is so dazzling, dazzlingly comparing the emperor to the emperor, how long can the emperor tolerate him? How long can the Chen Dynasty, which has moved the interests of the gate valve, stand still without falling?

……

……

After Fang Xiu left, Chen Chaojing sat on a chair.

Close your eyes and bask in the warm sun.

In the first month, the weather is still cold, from time to time there is a gust of cold wind, freezing people shivering, the only warm point is that the noon sun, although not as hot as summer, not as warm as spring and autumn, but the winter sun is loved.

Everyone was eager to bring a chair, put it under the eaves, and just close their eyes and enjoy it.

In his mind, he kept recalling what Fang Xiu had just said.

What the old man said was not unreasonable.

For this disaster relief, the cost is so huge that it is almost unimaginable.

All the money and grain in the treasury have been misappropriated, this is a big hole, simple calculation, it is also the sum of taxes paid in the era for more than ten years.

How could those courtiers in the court who did not deal with the Chen Dynasty let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Perhaps they have already met in private to exchange evidence, just waiting for Chen Chao to return to Beijing and unite to impeach Chen Chao!

It's a hard time!

After a while, Chen Chao felt that someone came behind him, gently kneading his shoulders, the strength was just right, and there was a faint fragrance on his body.

Needless to say, this is definitely not Ning Baizhi's girl.

The smell on Ning Baizhi's body, Chen Chao smelled it, a bit like a peach blossom, the smell of a girl.

And this taste, strongly like a peony, is Song Qingwan!

"Xiangye doesn't have to worry, he will definitely be able to get through it this time. Xiangye is for the people, not for the side......" Song Qingwan opened her mouth lightly and said with relief.

That being said, the people are not in power, even if they know that what the Chen Dynasty does is all for them, but in the court, how can they speak.

Chen Chao patted Song Qingwan's hand and told her to go to the tent to get pen and ink.

Song Qingwan didn't understand why, but she still took it quickly.

Chen Chao said, Song Qingwan wrote.

"Since the treasury is empty, then I want to find a way to make up for it, forgive those courtiers who can't say it's a good thing, I have some ways to make money, and I'm afraid that they don't want to offer me to the God of Wealth, I feel relieved to think about it, but I don't want to do these businesses for them."

"Qingshan, Qingyuan, Yunhe three counties, built around the capital. Qingshan County already has a cement plant and a red brick factory, and the future direction is also close to the industrial positioning. Yunhe County has a special location, Yunhe runs through the county, the water transport is developed, it is more suitable to be a transit station, only this Qingyuan County, it seems that there are no characteristics, only the territory is mountainous, the air is fresh, and the environment is better...... Then these profitable businesses will be built in Qingyuan County. ”

"Well, that's good, that's good......"

Chen Chao nodded with words in his mouth. Song Qingwan's wrists were sore when she was writing on the side, and Chen Chao was a little surprised when she saw it, "Madam, what are you doing with this?" ”

Song Qingwan raised her head and was slightly stunned for a moment, "Didn't Xiangye ask the slaves to write it down?" ”

Chen Chao sneered and pinched Song Qingwan's face.

"I don't need to remember this, it's just my heart's words, and the following words are just good to pick up some important ones."

Song Qingwan let out a somewhat disgusted "oh".

Chen Chao twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, and finally the way to make money came to winemaking, this way of making money that the traverser tried and tried, and it didn't have to be in vain.

In ancient times, the wine was either rice wine or rice wine, the color was pale yellow, and it was turbid, and it tasted sour, but even the wine of this quality was in short supply.

If you can use distillation to improve the purity of the liquor, although it will take some time for the ancients to get used to this high number of spirits, the market is not at all worrying. I heard that Rong Dixi spirits are the most suitable to sell to them.

Moreover, the raw materials for sake brewing are not hard to find.

Chen Chao lived in the village when he was a child, and he personally hung wine with his parents, sorghum, wheat, corn, persimmons...... You can hang wine, even ordinary grains.

Chen Chao cleared his throat and motioned for the next words, which Song Qingwan wrote on the paper:

"The heavenly pot, the brewing utensils too. It is composed of three major parts, and the pot that boils water below is called the ground pot, and the ground pot is ordinary, and the ordinary boiling water pot can be. The pot with cold water condensing wine on top is called the heavenly cauldron, and the size of the heavenly cauldron is smaller than that of the earth cauldron. ”

"The most important part is actually the part of the wooden charge in the middle, which is called the retort. The bamboo is half opened, the middle section is removed, placed in the middle of the wooden retort, aimed at the bottom of the heavenly pot, the heavenly pot is filled with cold water non-stop, the pot is heated, and the wine flows out along the bamboo, that is, the wine is made! ”

After thinking about it, Chen Chao simply snatched the pen in Song Qingwan's hand and wrote it down himself.

And attached is a schematic diagram of the "heavenly pot".

This thing can be understood by the blacksmith at a glance, and it is not difficult to build.

"What the hell is this?"

Song Qingwan was puzzled.

"Good stuff, stuff that makes money."

Chen Chao smiled, and after writing down all the details, Chen Chao planned to find a few brewing masters to test it and see if it could work.

After a while, several masters who could make wine stood in front of Chen Chao.

They pointed at the drawings drawn by Chen Chao.

"Can you get it out?"

A master scratched his head and took a half step forward, "Yes, yes, but it takes time." ”

"For how long?"

"Back to my lord, winemaking is a university question, and it takes more than 20 days for yeast fermentation alone, and the rest is scattered, adding up to a lot of time, not to mention three or four months......

Chen Chao thought for a moment and frowned.

"I'll give you a month and a half at most, and you have to see Chengjiu. If the fermentation temperature is not enough, you have to roast it for me even if it is roasted over fire, understand? ”

A few brewers were honestly afraid, "The villain understands. ”

So, on this day, a few new people moved in the camp.

The Chen Dynasty arranged a good tent for them, they should have all the food and food, and they were paid five taels of silver every month, and they would do everything they needed.
