Chapter 198 Wine giant
After leaving Tai Chi Hall, Li Chengqian asked Xiao Anzi to go to Shaofu Supervisory to bring all the official camps and royal iron mines.
After solving this, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace again, where Mo Gong from the foundry shop and Zhou Xu from the winery were already waiting there.
When Li Chengqian returned to the study and saw them standing outside the door, he asked them to follow him in.
"Zhou Xu, I ask you how many jars of wine are in the winery now, and how long can it be supplied to Chang'an if it is fully supplied?" Li Chengqian did not say nonsense. After entering the phone, he asked the manager of the winery.
"If you go back to Your Highness and just supply Chang'an, the wine in the wine cellar alone can ensure that everyone in Chang'an supplies one jar a day, and for more than three consecutive years, this is not considered new brews every day. If you include new brews, then there will be no shortage of wine in the entire Gyeonggi Province. If you add wine shops from all over the Tang Dynasty, the small ones can be guaranteed that as long as the grain production does not decrease, the entire Tang Dynasty will not lack wine." Zhou Xu told the general situation of the wine shop.
"Have you already stored so much wine now? What's going on?" Li Chengqian looked at him in a daze and asked.
"Your Highness, you asked Xiao to arrange two years ago to follow General Zhang to go to various places in the Tang Dynasty to brew wine with corn from various farms. However, the corn of Your Highness is really a good thing. Not only can it wrap the belly, but the wine brewed is also quite mellow. Even if it is not remixed, it will taste quite good..." Zhou Xu was very excited when talking about the wine brewed by corn.
Hearing Zhou Xu's erotic story, Li Chengqian's mouth twitched unnaturally, and then he remembered the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes that had increased significantly after a year of cultivation.
In order not to be discovered by his father, but he didn't want them to pile them in the warehouse, Li Chengqian thought of a way to let Zhang Gao send people to plant them on a large scale in a few places all over the country.
In order to keep the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn grown for a long time, Li Chengqian also made potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn processed products, and this corn winemaking is a kind of type.
But more are sweet potato flour, potato flour, corn flour, various dried potatoes and dried sweet potatoes, and dough cakes made of various flours. That's right, instant noodles from later generations.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian could already imagine that the warehouses of secret farms in various parts of the Tang Dynasty were already full of countless grains.
And in order to have enough people to plant these farms, Li Chengqian also tried his best to ask his father for land and people, saying that it was used to train secret guards.
So to outsiders, those secret farms are barracks, and those who go in to work have never come out. Instead, their families have all gone in.
However, Li Chengqian only paid attention to these things at the beginning, but later he left them behind. Even Li Shimin, who was very curious about this matter, did not pay attention to them.
If Li Chengqian hadn't asked Zhou Xujiu's question today, he might have thought of it for a long time.
"Zhou Xu, since there are a lot of wine in various places now, I want you to supply large amounts of wine to all parts of the Tang Dynasty from today. At the beginning, you can start with the royal restaurant. After becoming famous, you will open a winery to specialize in selling it. In a word, I want more than 60% of the wine in the Tang Dynasty. The purpose of this is to make all the wines in the Li family in Longxi and make the Li family in Longxi have no room for survival in this industry." Li Chengqian told Zhou Xu.
"Your Highness, you mean we can sell wine. If that's the case, then the market for this wine is not all, at least 90% of it is ours. Your Highness tells you that in our wineries all over the country, there are not only corn wine and sorghum wine, but also different wines brewed for the tastes of people in various places, such as the southern ones that are popular, low-alcohol fruit wine, rice wine, and rice wine. A foamy low-alcohol wine brewed from wheat on the coast, and the taste of these wines is particularly good." Zhou Xu heard Li Chengqian's words and patted his chest to directly increase the 60% of what Li Chengqian wanted to do to more than 90%.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he thrust his mouth unnaturally. He just arranged it casually, but why did it become like this? Although Li Chengqian asked people to give them to others and money for these industries, he really didn't expect it to develop like this. This really fits the saying that children of rich people can succeed by making trouble, and he not only has money but also has power, so even if he says something, determines his goals, and spends a lot of money and time, he can achieve results.
And if Li Chengqian was not wrong, the bubble wine should be beer.
"Zhou Xu, since that's the case, I'll leave this to you and do it well. There are also those brewing masters who need to take good care of them. Not to mention offering them, but you have to have all the rewards you should have. In this regard, go to the workshop to see how the workshop is made, and you can do it. As for you, go to Zhang Gao to choose a house in Chang'an, and I will give you it. As for your wages, tell Zhang Gao to give you the bangs, and there is also the kind of wine with foam. I will send some to me. It is best to build a wine shop in Chang'an to brew it specifically," Li Chengqian said to Zhou Xu.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I am the slave of Your Highness, and how can I get the reward from Your Highness?" Zhou Xu never expected that Li Chengqian would give him such a reward. As he said, he was Li Chengqian's slave of Your Highness, and doing things for his master was what he should have done.
"Okay, since you have done a good job, then you can just take it with me and do things!" Li Chengqian looked at Zhou Xu and waved his hand to let him go down.
After Zhou Xu went out, Li Chengqian sat there blankly, sighing endlessly that this unintentional thing made him a business giant, and he was the most authoritative to make rules directly at the imperial level.
But Li Chengqian soon came to his senses. After all, there was another business giant waiting for him to support him. Compared with wine, steel should be concentrated in the hands of those in power and strictly regulated industries. It would be absolutely impossible to be left out like before.
Especially now that Li Chengqian is not making trouble, even if it is not for dealing with the Li family in Longxi and other families, Li Chengqian will find time to hold the steel industry back in his hands.
While Li Chengqian was thinking, Mo Gong kept standing aside. Although he wanted to know why Li Chengqian called him to come, he didn't dare to ask before Li Chengqian spoke.
It was not until Xiao Anzi came back with a bunch of information documents that Li Chengqian called him over to read the information together.
