New Wagang

Chapter 331 Sui really has no shortage of food
Although Old Li Tou became a monk halfway and participated in the leadership of Wagang, he only started to get in touch with some major events in Wagang.

Just kidding, Lao Litou participated in almost every Wagang meeting as the boss of the winery, even if he didn't get mixed up, he was familiar with it.

Yu Wenba saw that there was a hint of worry in Old Li's eyes, he immediately smiled lightly, and said: "With my army division Wagang leading the troops, why worry, come here."

After finishing speaking, Yuwenba raised his teacup and bowed his hands to Lao Litou. Lao Litou hurriedly stood up to thank Yuwenba but was stopped by Yuwenba with a stare. , sat down again in a hurry, and then also picked up the teacup to salute Yuwenba, and waited for Yuwenba to take a sip of tea before taking a sip.

I didn't pay too much attention to Old Li's cautious Yuwenba. After all, such elderly people have different ideas from Cheng Yao, Jin Qiufu, etc., and even from Shanwazi, even if Shanwazi had nothing at first and later acquired Yuwen. Ba valued becoming a follower, and he let go a lot after he clearly understood Yuwenba's character, but Yuwenba knew that even if he transferred Old Litou to his side as a follower, even if he had been an old Litou for ten years, it would be the same. You can make some jokes with yourself like Shanwazi.

This is the gap of different thinking between the two generations, which cannot be changed.

Yuwenba put down his teacup, and then he cut the topic to the point, and said, "What is the daily drinking volume of Haohanjiu in the distillery?"

Old Li was relieved when he saw Yuwenba asked about the winery. He didn't know anything else, but the winery was indeed his own world, so he immediately replied: "After going to Wagang, the winery has expanded and recruited three times. A lot of recruits have entered the winery to work, so the amount of alcohol they drink has more than doubled compared to before."

When it comes to wine making, Old Li has endless things to say, but after a long list, there is nothing Yuwenba wants to hear. At the moment, Old Li seems to have noticed his nonsense, paused for a while and smiled. : "Now the daily output is around [-] altars."

"En." Yuwenba nodded, and asked again: "If you want to increase the amount of drinking, how much can you reach?"

Yuwenba knew very well that he could reduce the output of Haohanjiu due to various factors before, but at this time it seemed that he could no longer reduce it any longer.

Old Li thought for a while and said, "You can produce 120 altars of wine. If you want to improve it, you have to increase the scale and manpower of the winery."

"That's it." Yuwenba immediately made an arrangement: "Select 50 people from the current winery to form a wine fairy workshop, this time to make a wine that is more mellow and fragrant than the hero wine. The name is commensurate with hero wine."

"Hero wine!" Old Li was overjoyed when he heard the words, and the expression on his face was even more excited. He couldn't help rubbing his hands together and almost spit on his palms.

Yu Wenba nodded, and said again: "Jiuxianfang will only be responsible for producing heroic wine in the future. The process of this wine is actually the same as that of heroic wine, except that there is a slight difference in temperature and time. I will tell you all about it and teach it to you personally. for you"

"Brother" Old Li stood up excitedly and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Yuwenba again, Yuwenba was so panicked that he hurriedly supported him, but old Li still insisted on kneeling down and Yuwenba was afraid that his hands would be too strong to hurt his old man. Where did Li Tou have to call You Niu over.

With a cow behind him, he directly hugged Lao Li's head and pushed it back on the stone bench again.

Yuwenba knows very well that in this era, those who teach a skill like this are mentors, and they have to receive the great gift of three prostrations and nine kowtows, otherwise they are unfilial, and they will be laughed at by the world after speaking out.

What's more, it is a brewing method like heroic wine or even heroic wine that can make the whole world excited. If nothing else, it must be an easy thing to join Lao Litou and ask the court for an official to do it. Yuwenba knew that it was impossible for Old Li to do such a thing, so Old Li would have such great gratitude to him.

"For the time being, one hundred altars of heroic wine will be kept, and twenty altars of heroic wine will be produced every day." Yu Wenba thought about it and said, "But the price of heroic wine should be higher than the price of heroic wine, so we set it at Two hundred strings per altar."

"Two hundred guan for a pot!" Old Li took a deep breath, but he was relieved immediately, although his brother said that this heroic wine is more mellow and fragrant than heroic wine, and the quantity is less, naturally the price is higher Some, but Old Li really didn't expect it to be so much higher, and thought that doubling the price of [-] guan would be enough.

But it’s also true. Originally, heroic wine is not for ordinary people to drink, and the money earned by officials is the same. Naturally, this is also the case for heroic wine. Yuwenba suggested the idea of ​​raising the price further, but he didn't say anything.

Twenty altars of hero wine are released every day. This is a marketing strategy of Yuwenba. It has some meaning of hunger marketing. When it comes to drinking, after all, if you only sell [-] jugs a day, no matter how much you earn, you won't be able to make much money, right?

Anyway, no matter whether it is hero wine or hero wine, it is the only one in Wagang, and there is no fear of oversupply. If you want to drink, you have to buy it from Wagang, and there is no other one.

In fact, there is another reason why Yuwenba decided to make more wine. The food in the Sui Dynasty was very abundant. You must know that during the 20 years of Emperor Wen’s reign, farming was vigorously developed. I've heard of starvation and freezing to death.

It was only after Emperor Sui Yang became emperor that he resorted to military affairs, which gradually led to chaos in the world, and because he favored and trusted his ministers, the people suffered more and more. With the exception of a very small number of places where there were outbreaks due to various reasons and man-made disasters, it was only heard that starvation occurred.

You must know that in the later generations of the so-called Great Tang Dynasty, there were also starving corpses in some places, let alone in such a chaotic situation, so it can be said that the later Great Tang Dynasty also relied on the solid Sui Dynasty. The bottom line, otherwise, Li Shimin might not be able to come up with a rule of Zhenguan, and even more experts and scholars have said that if Li Shimin's rule of Zhenguan is compared with Emperor Wen's governance of the country, Emperor Wen is even better. one chip.

Even so, the young and strong of the people in the world were used by the emperor to open rivers and conscript soldiers, but there was still food output in farming. Although it was also affected, it was really not a big deal, but after that, more food was produced. It has entered the hands of some people in power and officials, and the people get less.
