Chapter 194 Liquor Giant
After coming out from the Taichi Palace, Li Chengqian let Xiao Anzi go to the Shaofu Supervisor to go and bring all the government and royal own iron ore fields.
After settling this matter, Li Chengqian once again returned to the East Palace, where Mo Attack from the Foundry and Zhou Xu from the Liquor Factory were already waiting there.
When Li Chengqian returned to his study and saw them standing outside the door, he let them follow him in.
”Zhou Xu, this king asked you, how many jars of wine are in the wine workshop now, and how long can it be supplied to Chang’an if it is supplied at full strength” Li Chengqian didn’t talk nonsense, and after he went in and sat on the number, he asked the wine workshop’s steward.
”Back to your highness, just supply Chang’an, then the wine in the cellar alone, can guarantee everyone in Chang’an a day a altar of supply, continuous supply for more than three years, this is still not counting the new brewed every day, if you count the new brewed, then the whole Jinggi Road will not lack of wine, if you add the wine shops all over the Great Tang Dynasty, I can guarantee that as long as the food production is not reduced, then the whole Great Tang Dynasty will not lack of wine”. lack of wine,” Zhou Xu gave a general description of the situation of the wine workshops.
”So much wine has been stocked up now? What the hell is going on” Hearing Zhou Xu’s account, Li Chengqian looked at him a bit confused and asked.
”This your highness, is you in two years ago let small arrange people, follow Zhang chief people to go to all over the great Tang with various farms in the corn brewing liquor ah, but your highness that corn is really good things, not only can wrap the abdomen, brewing out of the liquor is also quite mellow, even if not re-blended, drink, is also quite good …. … “When Zhou Xu talked about those corn brewed wine, the whole thing was particularly energetic.
Hearing Zhou Xu’s colorful narration, the corner of Li Chengqian’s mouth unnaturally twitched, and only then remembered that year after a year of cultivation has yielded a large increase in corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Li Chengqian in order not to be found by their own old man, but do not want to let them just piled up in the warehouse, thought of a way to let Zhang Gao sent people in the country’s off-the-beaten-track places to go to a large area of secret planting.
And in order to make the planted potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn can be preserved for a long time, Li Chengqian also put the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in the processing of products made out of this corn wine is a kind of.
But more or sweet potato flour, potato flour, corn flour and a variety of dried potatoes and dried sweet potatoes, as well as with a variety of powder mixed into the cake, yes is the latter day’s instant noodles.
Thinking about this Li Chengqian can already imagine that the warehouses of the secret farms all over the Great Tang Dynasty have been piled up with countless amounts of grain.
And back then, in order to have enough people to plant these farms, Li Chengqian also painstakingly asked his old man for land and people, saying that it was for training the secret guards.
So in the eyes of outsiders, that one secret farm is a barracks, and go inside the work of the people, but also did not come out, but instead of their families have gone in.
But these Li Chengqian is also in the beginning of the time attention, then he was directly behind the head, even when very curious about this Li Shimin also did not pay attention to.
Today, if not Li Chengqian asked about Zhou Xu’s wine problem, he may still have to think about it after a long time.
”Zhou Xu, since there is now a large amount of wine in wine shops everywhere, then the king wants you to start from today, a large number of places to supply liquor to all places in the Great Tang, at first you can start from the royal restaurant, and so on after having a reputation, in the opening of a winery specializing in the sale of just one sentence, the king wants more than 60% of the market of the Great Tang’s liquor and the purpose of doing so is to make all the liquor in Longxi Li family not be able to sell, so that the Longxi Li family does not have a bit of room to survive in this industry” Li Chengqian commanded to Zhou Xu.
”Your Highness, you mean we can sell wine, if so, then the market of this liquor, not to say all, at least ninety percent is ours, Your Highness, small and you say ah, now we are all over the country in the brewery, not only corn wine, sorghum wine, and for the tastes of various local people brewed out of the different liquor, such as the South like, low degree of fruit wine, Huangjiu, as well as rice wine, the coastal side of the wheat brewed out of the wine, and the wine, and the wine, and the wine, and the wine, and the wine. The coastal side of the wheat brewed with a bubble of low wine, and the taste of these wines are particularly good” Zhou Xu heard Li Chengqian words, patting his chest to Li Chengqian want 60% directly increased to more than 90%.
And hear these, Li Chengqian’s mouth, and unnatural draw, this Nima’s, they just casually arranged, how did it become so, although for these industries, Li Chengqian is to people to people, money to money, but he really did not think it would develop into this, this really should be the words, the rich man’s child, really casually tossing can succeed, and he is not only rich but also have the right, so even if he said an idea, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money. The goal is to determine a good, a large amount of money and time to smash down, can make the results.
And if Li Chengqian is not wrong, that wine with foam should be beer.
”Zhou Xu, since this is the case, then this matter will be given to you, do a good job, there are those brewing masters, you can take care of, not to say that they are provided for, but the rewards should be there, in this regard, you go to the workshop to see, to see how the workshop is how to do it, how you do it, as for you, a moment to Zhang Gao that to choose a set of houses in Chang’an, the king rewarded you, as for your wages! As for you, a moment to Zhang Gao to choose a house in Chang’an, the king rewarded you, as for your wages, tell Zhang Gao according to Liu Hai’s to give you, and the kind of wine with foam, send some over to the king, it is best to build a winery in Chang’an, specializing in brewing,” Li Chengqian said to Zhou Xu.
”Thank you your highness, small is your highness’s house slave why virtue how can get your highness’s reward” Zhou Xu completely did not expect Li Chengqian will give him such a reward, just like he said, he is Li Chengqian’s house slave, to do things for their masters, this is what he should have done.
”Alright, since you did a good job, then this king rewarded you, just take it and go do your job!” Li Chengqian looked at Zhou Xu and waved his hand to let him go down.
After Zhou Xu went out, Li Chengqian sat there dumbfounded with infinite emotion, this nima unintentional thing, since it made him become a business giant, and still the most entitled business giant that can directly make rules at the level of the empire.
But soon Li Chengqian back to God, after all, there is another commercial giant below, waiting for their own to support, and compared to wine, steel that is more should be concentrated in the hands of the powers that be, and strictly regulated industry, to the previous that fall out of the field that is absolutely not.
Especially now that Li Chengqian is not in the case of the demon, even if not to deal with the Longxi Li family and other families, Li Chengqian will find the time, the steel industry back in the hands.
And when Li Chengqian was thinking, Mo Attack had been standing on the side, although he also wanted to know, what Li Chengqian called him for, but he didn’t dare to ask before Li Chengqian spoke.
Until Xiao Anzi came back with a bunch of information and paperwork, only then did Li Chengqian call him over to look at that information together.
