Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 76 Doing a Small Business (2)

After moving, Xu Qing built a small shed on the east wall where the flowers used to grow. The pump was tightly sealed, and a vegetable field grew out of it, about a third of the size. "Green vegetables" can also be carried. schedule.Afterwards, the shop under the plate was also briefly cleaned, but because there was no manpower, it could only be left empty.

Hearing the wind, it said that Lu Jing and others had been demoted to Hebei, and the censor had changed, and no one dared to impeach Xu Qing when he clocked in for work these few times, so it is said that the small life is not bad.Just after finishing the imperial court, Xu Qing was planning to go home to grow vegetables, but was taken to Xiyuan by the eunuch.It was natural to bring him to Xiyuan to meet the emperor, so Xu Qing introspected for a while, and found that he had not done any good deeds or "good deeds", so he was full of doubts.

When he got close to Li Yuan, he suddenly understood, because he saw the death row prisoner who was being experimented on, and the death row prisoner was now flushed, and he didn't look haggard at all.Xu Qing thought in his heart that the alcohol anti-inflammatory method has worked, so what reward do you want to give me?hey-hey……

Standing next to Li Yuan was Li Shiji, also flushed, as if extremely excited, it seems that the alcohol these days was all applied by him, as the first clinician to cure inflammation with alcohol, how can you not be excited?
It's still a while to see the ceremony, red tape, it took a while.

"Xu Qing, the alcohol you made is really effective. This guy is lucky..." Li Yuan glanced at the death row prisoner next to him, who had escaped from death.The death row prisoner also knelt down immediately, crying bitterly, saying that he wanted to repay his kindness, and that he must be a good person and do good deeds in the future, which made Li Yuan frowned and was driven out.

"It's all because the emperor is virtuous and God protects him. The kid just happened to meet him at the right time..." Xu Qing happened to offer a horse, but Li Yuan was very pleased with it, his beard trembled, and he seemed very happy.After all, Li Yuan rebelled and won the throne, and was abdicated, claiming to be the destiny.Since it is destiny, there must be signs of destiny.But those rumors about the purple energy coming from the east and the dragon appearing in the wild are not believed, and anyone can make these rumors.But now, the morbid inflammation has been cured unexpectedly, isn't this just the reason why the emperor got his destiny?This is God protecting a virtuous king!

"But this time I won't reward you, do you know why?" Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Uh, I know, the emperor intends to cultivate the boy, and he is afraid that the boy will be too proud when he is young, and he will be easily hated by others..." Xu Qing is not the kind of person who forgets the danger at the expense of profit, and he understands the meaning of Li Yuan's cultivation after a little thought. , secretly sighed in his heart, Li Yuan was not bad for himself, so he added: "There is a saying that is 'beneficial to the life and death of the country, so it is better to avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune.' Keep an eye on those benefits."

Although the words were a bit false, Li Yuan and Li Shiji couldn't help but look at the famous sentence "beneficial to the life and death of the country", especially Li Shiji, whose eyes he looked at Xu Qing changed from admiration to respect. Feeling nervous, but Xu Qing felt that the time had come to open a winery!

"Xu Qing, it's not bad, it's good if you think so..." Li Yuan said with satisfaction, then paused and said, "You also know that Lu Jing and the others have been demoted, although it's not my intention that they were demoted, hmph... ...But, can't I do something for you?"

Xu Qing was startled, do you want to demote me too? !After thinking about it, Xu Qing felt very happy in his heart, and thought, "Okay, that's great, I'll be demoted to a level soon, just because I don't want to be a court official..."

"I understand..."

"Well, I'll let you be the imperial physician. After you teach the two methods of treatment to the imperial hospital, I will reuse you again. You must do your best..." Li Yuanyu said earnestly.Xu Qing pursed her mouth and muttered:
"How high is the imperial physician's order?"

"Zheng Qipin..."

"Dropping three levels in a row, this is too much... I am a doctor in the county?"

"You don't have to go up..."

"Thank you Long En..."

After walking out of Xiyuan, Li Shiji and Xu Qing were wandering in the palace, and no one dared to say otherwise when a Duke was here.Li Shiji looked at Xu Qing eagerly and said:
"Brother Xu, your phrase '*******, don't avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune' is really exciting, as expected of Brother Xu..." Xu Qing smiled, thinking about what to say about the winery, He also heard Li Shiji say: "Brother Xu, my surname was Xu before, and I was given the national surname by the emperor later. If you are willing, you and I will be sworn brothers from now on..."

"Brother Shiji..." Xu Qing shouted cooperatively.

"Brother Xu, in the future, if you need help with anything, you can come to me, as long as I can do it..."

"Brother Shiji, I really need your help with something." Xu Qing was waiting for this sentence, so he said it casually.

"Okay, you can't take back what you just said, can you? Hahaha..." Li Shiji didn't look unhappy, and said boldly. Seeing this, Xu Qing really felt that Li Shiji could be a close friend (don't think wrongly).

"Brother Shiji, I want to open a winery to earn a little money. Secondly, I can also pre-process the extraction of alcohol. The alcohol can also be mass-produced, so that the army can popularize these treatments..."

"Oh~ I know your kid's plan, you want to use my name..." Li Shiji is also a human being, so he doesn't understand what Xu Qing is thinking.

"No, no, brother Shiji misunderstood..."

"Oh? What is it, I can't help anything else..."

"Little brother not only wants to borrow your name, but also borrow some money..." Xu Qing said shyly. Such a large investment in the winery is powerless.

Li Shiji finally gave Xu Qing 1000 taels for a ready-made wine workshop.Nothing but production.He was also responsible for the transformation and purchase of the first batch of "pure pulp", but when the final contract was signed, Xu Qing, who only invested in technology, accounted for [-]% of the shares. It has to be said that Li Shiji took great care of Xu Xiaodi.However, Li Shiji had another request, that is, part of the produced spirits should be supplied to the imperial court to make alcohol at a low price, and Xu Qing agreed without thinking about it.

Liquor is an exclusive industry, and the taste is excellent. As soon as it comes into the world, it will definitely become popular. When the time comes to sell exquisite bottled wine, the profit will definitely be huge. What.

Later, Xu Qing suggested that what the imperial court wanted was alcohol anyway, so it didn’t matter what kind of alcohol was used to make alcohol, so another factory could be built to refine alcohol from leftover materials such as chaff and wheat bran to supply refined alcohol.

Soon after, a fine wine called Jiuxianniang appeared in Xu Qing's small shop, ready for sale.This kind of Jiuxianniang is just a roughly refined distilled wine, which is similar to the self-brewed rice wine of later generations. It is stronger than the wine of the Tang Dynasty, but it does not lose its sweetness.This kind of wine was tested by Xu Qing, and the common people of Tang Dynasty accepted this kind of wine more, but the stronger wine was not accepted by people.Therefore, this kind of price is relatively low. It is set at ten renminbi a catty, and ten renminbi is more than a bucket of rice.

As for the middle market, Xu Qing plans to launch a bottled wine, which can be regarded as a relatively strong wine after fine distillation.As for the higher-level market, Xu Qing plans to sell it at a fixed point, and there are not many people who can afford it anyway.Chang'an dignitaries, according to their tastes, choose their favorite alcohol concentration, as well as some types of spices, and take orders for business.

The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. The saying "Drinking wine is better than living gods" spread like wildfire in Chang'an City. As for where it came from, no one knows.
