Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 84 Governing Youzhou ([-])

The soldier's equipment problem was finally solved. During this period of time, Yang Yu was exhausted. Yang Yu really didn't need him to do anything.

However, he is still worried that there will be fraudulent incidents, so after arranging the work, he will go to the scene to watch from time to time. This, he is a bit paranoid. People in this era, although their minds are already very complicated, However, they still disdain to do such things as falsification, or in other words, the conditions for falsification are too high. The technical content of what they do is not high. If it is fake, the technical content is actually high. Who is going to fake it?

"Husband, Sister Cai is here to invite you." After a few days of rest, Yang Yu was dragged by Shao Yao to Cai Yan's residence.

"Little girl has met General Yang." As soon as Yang Yu and Shao Yao entered, Cai Yan gave Yang Yu a salute. As expected of everyone, this etiquette is the standard.

Moreover, after a period of recuperation, Cai Yan has fully recovered. Looking up, she is a very beautiful woman, although she is not too beautiful, yes, compared to Diao Chan, Cai Yan is really not beautiful. Even compared with peony, it is worse.

Diao Chan, it was a trick of the beauties, so naturally she is much more beautiful. It is also rare for Yang Yu to appreciate Diao Chan's beauty carefully. Before, she only saw her once in a while.

But, why Diao Chan is here with Cai Yan? Pulling down the horse, is this something anyone can do? Also, there is no certain method that can make Lu Bu obsessed to this day.

As for peony, it is a healthy beauty. Since meeting Yang Yu, she has not experienced any hardships, and has been practicing with Yang Yu all the time. This figure and appearance are one in a million.

In comparison, Cai Yan's body is much weaker, but her knowledge cannot but be valued by others. She has learned the true biography of Cai Yong. Although her life has been rough, she cannot be underestimated.

"I have met Master Cai." "Don't dare, dare not, how dare the little girl call you a master in front of General Yang, the number invented by General Yang, the little girl has never seen it before, today, the little girl invites the general The purpose of coming here is to invite the general to taste the wine brewed by the young lady according to the ancient recipe."

Cai Yan, straight to the point, explained to Yang Yu why he was asked to come.

"Husband, sister Cai's brewed wine is suitable for our women to drink." Before Yang Yu could ask, Shao Yao explained it, and Yang Yu finally understood that this so-called wine was naturally made for the sake of drinking. Women are prepared.

"Sure, if it's appropriate, I will allow you to brew it." Why do you say that, now, no matter what kind of princes, it is also a matter of restricting wine making, even though, for those aristocratic families, wine is still their daily life In terms of supplies, for ordinary people, wine is rare. Naturally, Yang Yu in Youzhou is no exception. The same is to save food and restrict wine making.

"This is?" After Cai Yan poured a bowl of wine, Yang Yu realized that it was a kind of pale yellow and cloudy wine, unlike the dark and cloudy wine they drank.

At this time, the common wine is actually the so-called rice wine, with an alcohol content of about ten degrees. Yang Yu wanted to brew baijiu several times, but he didn't brew it. Why, it uses too much grain, so it's better not to brew it. Let's brew it when there is too much food to eat, but what kind of wine is Cai Yan brewing today.

"General Yang, according to the ancient formula, this is not called wine, but Li wine. However, I changed the name to Li wine. Also, I use the lees left over from brewing to feed pigs. It feels better than wine. It's much better to feed pigs with hogweed."

This Cai Yan really thinks a lot, even after the wine is brewed, even the distiller's grains are used, that is, the distiller's grains that are usually brewed can also be used to feed pigs, this is a good idea.

"Come on, let me taste this so-called ancient prescription wine." As he spoke, Yang Yu picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"Yeah!" What kind of smell is it? It smells like alcohol, but also slightly cool. How does it feel? It feels similar to the beer of later generations. Could it be beer? Isn't it that beer is imported from Europe?

"General, how?" At this moment, no matter it was Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Shao Yao, they were all looking at Yang Yu, waiting for Yang Yu to speak. It can be said that the three of them fell in love with this wine.

"Well, yes, Master Cai, can you tell me what you think?" Cai Yan, she naturally didn't just let Yang Yu come to taste the new wine, she naturally had her thoughts.

"Back to the general, the little girl thinks, if the general agrees, the little girl will cooperate with sister Shaoyao and sister Diaochan, and the three of us will work together to brew this kind of wine and raise pigs, and then we will hand over half of our men's land in exchange for General, what do you think about the qualifications to buy some food every year?"

Here, it goes without saying that Diao Chan is Lu Bu's wife. Naturally, the property under her name is also Lu Bu's property, and Shaoyao, like Cai Yan, also divided the land, and they divided the land according to half of it. , can be regarded as a family, even after Shaoyao married Yang Yu, her field was still in her hands.

"Well, but you don't need to hand over the land. If you raise pigs, pig manure can be used to fertilize the field. However, if you want to buy grain and make wine, you need to sign a contract with Jushou. How many pigs are resold, or how much grain you can buy for each pig that is resold, what do you think.”

At this time in Youzhou, there is no shortage of food. This wine should be released immediately. Otherwise, there are private brewers. If they are allowed to brew privately, it will cause a loss of tax revenue. Therefore, Ju Shou I have also been discussing with Yang Yu whether to let go of the wine market. It just so happens that I take advantage of this opportunity to settle this matter. Coupled with the idea of ​​feeding pigs with distiller's grains, perhaps, this grain In addition, Yang Yu still wants to take the opportunity to promote the matter of manure fertilization, so let Cai Yan start first, you know, she has a reputation for everyone , In this way, the promotion will be simpler.

"Husband, how dirty it must be to fertilize the field with excrement!" Shao Yao fanned her nose with her hands in disgust, as if there was indeed excrement in front of her eyes.

"Master Cai, have you seen this kind of excrement to fertilize the fields in ancient books?" Yang Yu didn't talk about Shaoyao, but asked Cai Yan instead.

"Well, yes, I seem to have seen similar records in the book of Fansheng. Unfortunately, I didn't pay much attention to the records about farming. Those books were all destroyed by the war."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Cai Yan accepted this matter, and Yang Yu was also relieved. This was considered to have solved a problem, otherwise, Yang Yu really didn't know how to promote this matter.

"Husband, you really agree, let us brew this wine." Shao Yao asked happily, yes, she just wanted to help Yang Yu earn more money, not to brew this wine just because she likes it liquor.

"Yes, but let me give you another suggestion. There are some edible wild fruits in the mountains, and some wild fruits don't taste very good when eaten. Master Cai, please see if you can use these fruits to brew again. How about some fruit wine?"

"Okay, general, this little girl will think about it." "There is another one. In the Western Regions, there is a white flower. According to my master, it can clarify the wine you brewed. You can also arrange someone to give it to you." Go look for it." Yes, suddenly, Yang Yu remembered that since this wine is similar to beer, then the unique Chinese hops can be used, which is said to be wild in the Tianshan Mountains. Is there any, just to give them a suggestion, and use Yang Yu's master who doesn't know where to cover up the source of the information.Whether it succeeds or fails, it's just news, isn't it?
