Datang: I played synthesis in Zhenguan

"Have you heard of it recently? The five surnames joined forces to donate 55 shi to the Tang Dynasty"

"I heard that, and I also know that the 55 shi of grain has already entered the household department"

"I didn't lie to you, my brother is responsible for taking care of the food and grass, you have never seen that there is as much food as a mountain"

"These five surnames are worthy of being a distinguished family. They are so impartial and selfless, which is really admirable."

"Why don't we join the army, I also want to contribute to Datang"

"Okay, we aspiring young people, how can we be so wasteful, go together, go together"

In the early years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was overjoyed because of the donation of food, which aroused an upsurge of joining the army.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Renjing took out 400 million shi of rice grain and sold it to him at the price of one penny for a bucket of rice.

At the price of three qian per bucket of rice, 400 million grains of rice were distributed and sold all over the country. For a time, the price of grain in the world was stable, and the people had rice to cook. The number of people who starved to death due to lack of food in this winter dropped sharply.

People from all over the country praised him, flattering them like they don’t want money, and now Li Shimin is straightening up and smiling more and more.

But the aristocratic families from all over the world are miserable, especially the powerful and nobles who own a lot of land, because the new grain sold by the imperial merchants is not only cheap, but also tastes several times better than theirs.

Even if the common people were blind, they would know whose grain to buy. For a while, the grain of the aristocratic family was squeezed into piles, and the old grain would be moldy and cleared after the winter. This increase and decrease was a waste of money.

Every family is like ants on a hot pot.

"Brother Lu, tell me, how should we deal with ourselves now!"

Zhao Jun's Li family and Li Tianrui frowned at Lu Xinde, and they were so worried that their temples turned white these days.

"I didn't know that the Zheng family's son had so much food in storage!"

Originally, they thought that if Zheng Renjing wanted to achieve what he did today, at least he would have to wait until this summer, when the land in Jingyang would be harvested to supply the world with food.

Unexpectedly, when they were provoked, Zheng Renjing directly took out 400 million shi rice grains, which caught them off guard.

Now even if they change crops to grow other crops and develop other industries, it is too late. The grain in their barn adds up to a million stones, which is years of savings.

Originally, it could be sold locally for ten cents per bucket of rice, but now it can’t be sold for two cents per bucket of rice. The big guys still prefer the royal grain that costs three cents per bucket of rice.

If it gets any cheaper, it will be a loss-making business, and they are reluctant to take out the grain and sell it cheaply.

But once the sun gets warmer and Jingyang has a bumper harvest, the price of grain will have to fall, and the longer they store the grain, the more they will lose.

"This matter happened because of the son of the Zheng family, so he must be responsible."

"Yes, this matter can't just be left alone, he must be held accountable to us"

"Our loss must be repaid by him"

"Our family united above the court, I don't believe His Majesty will sit back and watch."

Changle couldn't see Zheng Renjing these two days, so he secretly followed him to Jingyang, and saw Zheng Renjing enter a workshop.

A strong smell of wine can be smelled from dozens of steps away, and the workshop is filled with smoke as it approaches.

Hundreds of shirtless people turned a crimson mass. In the distance were many square cellars and a metal cauldron.

There are hundreds of wooden barrels beside the cauldron, each about four meters high and three meters in diameter.

"Lizhi, how did you get here?"

Chang Le was so fascinated that he didn't notice that Zheng Renjing had already walked in front of him.

Changle has been a little guilty these days, and ran away when he saw him, and his expression changed slightly at this moment, as if he had been arrested for doing something wrong.

There's a word coming

"I said I was lost, would you believe me?"

Zheng Rentai couldn't believe that this clever girl had lost her way.

"Brother Jing, what is this place? It feels so hot."

Speaking of fanning the wind in this cold winter months

"This is my new brewery"

Zheng Renjing looked at Chang Le's confused eyes, and guessed that the little girl hadn't seen his kind of wine making workshop.

After speaking, he took the little girl's hand, led her through the first floor hall of the brewery, and introduced her along the way.

The bulging machine is used to crush and screen sorghum rice, and the square pit on the ground is the wine pool.

The fermented mud in this wine tank is worth a thousand gold. It is the product of three times of his painstaking synthesis and evolution. This is the most critical part that affects the taste of wine.

There is a saying in the liquor industry that "the thousand-year-old cellar has a thousand-year trough, and the wine is good because of the old cellar", and in his hands, there are many kinds of distiller's yeast and koji.

There are various types of koji, such as Daqu, Xiaoqu, Hongqu, and wheat koji. This winemaking workshop can produce a variety of wines, not a single variety.

As for the cauldron, it was used for distillation, and the wooden barrel was used to store the liquor.

He can produce distilled wine here, which is many times clearer than the wine drunk in the Tang Dynasty today.

Chang Le tilted his head and looked at the distilled wine, which was crystal clear like pure water, his small eyes sparkled.

"Brother Jing lied to me, the wine we drank was not of this color"

Chang Le chuckled, this can't fool her, most of the alcohol in Tang Dynasty is turbid wine, that is, rice wine, mainly fruit wine, low alcohol content and sweet taste, just like high alcohol alcohol beer.

It tastes viscous, and drinking a small amount can relax the tendons and activate the blood. It is not as high as modern wine, and it is fragrant and refreshing.

There are also various colors, because there is no distillation, there are many impurities in the wine, and there are many colors, such as green, yellow, red and other colors.

"Tulips in Lanling wine, amber light in jade bowls."

"Green Ant New Fermented Wine, Red Clay Small Stove"

These poems can also reflect that people in the Tang Dynasty drank wine of various colors. Amber just shows that the wine is viscous and yellowish, while green ants have more impurities in the wine.

Therefore, in ancient times, drinking wine had to be sieved and heated to strip the impurities before drinking it.

He took out a glass of freshly brewed sake and asked Changle to take a sip. There was a strong aroma of the wine in his mouth. After drinking it, his body felt like it was on fire, and he stood there for a long time in a daze.

"Ha~ so spicy, so spicy"

Chang Le sticks out her fragrant tongue and exhales vigorously, her appearance is very cute.

"Brother Jing, I believe this is wine"

He chuckled, this little girl was actually afraid of white wine, after drinking a glass, her face immediately flushed, and her whole body turned red even her neck.

It seems that in ancient times, people who say that one thousand glasses of wine will not get drunk, and one thousand glasses of wine are just bragging!
"Brother Jing, don't you have some sweet wine?"

"Yes, this is fruit brew"

He brought another glass of fruit wine, after Changle took it, he carefully took a sip in his mouth, slowly feeling the wine.

Followed by Gudong, he drank it all in one gulp, and immediately became happy.

"Brother Jing, this wine is the right one, it's sweet and delicious"

As the owner of the winery, Zheng Renjing fed Changle wine to see if people in the Tang Dynasty could adapt to high-grade liquor at this time.

You must know that there are many kinds of liquor that he can produce here, such as Wuliangye, Gujing Gongjiu, Luzhou Laojiao Tequ, Quanxing Daqu Liquor, Maotai Liquor, Xifeng Liquor, Fenjiu, and Dongjiu.

In addition to high-grade liquor, there are also fruit wine and beer.

"Brother Jing, why do you want to open a winery? Don't you already have a farm?"

Changle is already a little unstable at the moment, leaning towards him sideways, thinking in his little head that he already has a farm, and the people in the whole Tang Dynasty are not as good as him, what is this winery for?
"To cheat people"

Zheng Renjing smiled, and a princess picked up the little girl, ready to send her back.

"Who are you cheating on?"
