Chapter 43 The Lovely Da Song

In the blink of an eye, into the second year of Qingli, now Li Buqi hangs on his butt every day, besides Gao Zunyu and his gang who have worshiped Li Buqi so much in the honorable yamen, there is also a handsome guy—Uncle Cao.Cao Yi, Uncle Cao Guo is a rich old handsome guy, so naturally he will not be like a bunch of brats in order to learn from Li Buqi about the magical skills of picking up girls. His purpose of following Li Buqi is to make alchemy and cultivate immortality.

That day Li Buqi told Empress Cao how to make white granulated sugar and rock sugar with Huangbulaji icing sugar sold in the Song Dynasty, and then asked to give him the leftover molasses.Empress Cao asked about the use of molasses, and Li Buqi honestly said that he made alcohol.

It's hard to explain to Song people what alcohol is, so I have to say that it is the essence of wine.Unexpectedly, it would be a big deal if the news reached Cao Yu's ears. This uncle Guo, who is good at cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality, somehow thought that using the essence of wine could wash away the impurities in the alchemy materials and improve the success rate of alchemy.So Cao Yu came to Li Buqi, urging Li Buqi every day to make alcohol quickly so that Taoists could make alchemy.

Although Cao Guojiu's purpose was a bit off, it is undeniable that alchemy and alchemy gave birth to the initial chemical research, so Li Buqi still supported Guojiu and their great cause of alchemy.Moreover, many things became much easier immediately with the help of Cao Guojiu and others. For example, Li Buqi now has a license to make wine, which Cao Guojiu directly asked the emperor for; The Lord contacted the nobles to look for it; Li Buqi said that he needed a relatively large place to study wine making, so Uncle Cao allocated [-] acres of land next to the Yujin Garden in the south of the city to Li Buqi, saying that as long as the alcohol was made , this land belongs to Li Buqi.

Fifty mu of land is worth more than 200 yuan, but what is rare is that the land around Bianliang cannot be bought even if money is available. With this fifty mu of land, Li Buqi can grow crops brought back from overseas nearby.

After the Chinese New Year, Li Buqi spent a month teaching the craftsmen in the Royal Workshop how to decolorize and recrystallize the icing sugar. After two times of crystallization, the remaining molasses could not get sugar from it. Li Buqi transported the molasses to In the yard next to the backyard of Wuweifang, the sugar water was diluted into different concentrations, and the wine koji was added to seal it in the jar.

Before crossing over, his unit had a fermentation department, and when he was a child, his home was not more than one kilometer away from the distiller's lees tank in a distillery. He had been affected by the smell of distiller's lees for more than ten years, so it was no problem to start a simple fermentation.He also knows that the concentration of alcohol in fermentation with sugar water is too low, and the distillation is not only laborious but also wasteful. The real production of alcohol in large quantities still depends on solid grain fermentation.

The problem is that the koji used for solid fermentation is Daqu, which is not available in Dasong at this time, so it can only be cultivated by itself.So Li Buqi also bought the courtyard next door to Wuweifang, and made a lot of jars and jars to screen the bacteria.

While doing these things, Li Buqi was also studying Song Dynasty.Now that there is no need to worry about Han Qi being able to easily kill him, and his wife is gone, Li Buqi feels that since he has traveled to this era and is close to the emperor, he can think about how to make Song Dynasty survive the invasion of nomads and let Song The Chinese civilization continued on this land safely.Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

He was able to get in touch with the ordinary people of Shengdou, and the emperor and top dignitaries of the empire. He saw many things that ordinary people could hardly see, and heard a lot of secrets that he didn't know before. It really has a lot of lovely places.

At least officials in the Song Dynasty don’t have to call them “adults”, that’s what they call their parents; although ministers need to bow down to the emperor, they can also spit on the emperor’s face, and the emperor can’t be in a hurry; It is not so strict; the laws of the Song Dynasty value people very much, and the existence of slaves is not allowed. Even those who sell themselves as slaves have a time limit. The economic dependence of tenant farmers and servants on their masters is stronger than personal dependence.

From these aspects, the Great Song Dynasty was a peak of the stable development of Chinese culture. The aristocratic class that shrouded the common people disappeared completely. Chinese culture contributed to the unprecedented equality of people, and this equality promoted the unprecedented prosperity of science and technology.Since the Mongols entered the Central Plains, Chinese culture has gone back.

Look at the later Ming Dynasty. On the scorched earth ravaged by the Mongols, in a country established by reckless men who lacked cultural influence, nobles and slaves reappeared. Strengthened, Chinese society even regressed to the level before the mid-Tang Dynasty.Not to mention the Braid Dynasty, that was the last spark that almost destroyed Chinese culture.

PS: Next, we will start to slap the civil servants in the face with a mixed system, crackling!Please vote for it.

If Da Song can continue to develop steadily, it is estimated that there will be no white-skinned pigs on this earth. Li Buqi's parents before crossing will not have to suffer so much, and Li Buqi will not have to spend so much effort back then. I have learned English.Even if it is to let future generations learn English without headaches, Li Buqi feels that he must take action.

According to Li Buqi's understanding, Song Dynasty is a feudal country, which is very similar to the structure of a company. The emperor is the chairman, and the nobles and ministers below can be regarded as executive directors and managers.The method of least resistance for a company to reform must be from top to bottom. If the chairman, directors and managers can be persuaded to form a joint force, then the company's reform has a great chance of success.

However, corporate reform is not easy, and Li Buqi is a pessimist in this regard.Look at why the civil officials of the Song Dynasty can't do it. The messy look below shows how serious the bureaucracy of this company is.Even if the chairman and directors single-mindedly challenge the bureaucracy of the entire company, it is very difficult, so Li Buqi will never jump out and take action immediately, he will definitely make a decision before acting.

He knew that next year, the third year of Qingli, would kick off a reform. Although Li Buqi believed that this reform must be a failure after working hard in the workplace, this did not prevent him from observing the reform at close range. Reform studies the various forces within the Song Dynasty and finds a way.There are always more ways than difficulties, if gentleness fails, use violence.

Li Buqi is not a person who is used to putting all expectations on others. He is also a man of action. When he needs to take action, he will definitely participate in it personally. Of course, at that time, he must have a suitable identity and strong strength.

There should be decades before the "Shame of Jingkang", and there is still plenty of time. What he has to do now is to sneak into the officialdom through the imperial examination to find allies and kill potential enemies, so that when he takes action, everything will come to fruition.

So Li Buqi made a five-year plan for himself, striving to earn a family property of several million within five years, pass the imperial examination, have a half-job, and build an army that he can control.Such a goal in Da Song is not too high.

 The next step is to slap the civil servant's face in a mixed system, and the face is so slapped!Ask for votes, please continue to support!
