Chapter 512
In fact, they were right. Just like what Hu Cheng said before, no one in Dulonggang has ever had a winemaking workshop for several generations. You must know that private winemaking is no match for a large workshop.

Zhu Biao is only 16 years old, even if he subdues a tiger, he may not be able to subdue people's hearts. How can the activities in the winery be so easy to master?
Not to mention whether you can sell this wine, it is not an easy task to just brew drinkable wine.

There are not one or two wineries that have gone bankrupt and lost money in the market.

After the banquet, Li Ying and Hu Cheng left one after another.

After Li Cheng went back, he recruited his confidant Du Xing. After talking about this matter, Du Xing thought about it for a moment, and said: "The senior official, the villain also thinks that Zhu Biaode lost his mind and went crazy. Could it be that there are some side effects of this martial arts practice, which has changed his mind?" Silly?"

Hearing this, Li Ying couldn't help laughing, and said: "You dare to make fun of this guy, I'm not afraid that Zhu Biao will give you a punch when he hears about it, even five of you can't bear it."

Du Xing said with a smile: "The villain just jokes a few words in front of the big officials, but in front of Zhu Biao, the villain will naturally speak cautiously."

Li Ying said with a smile: "I'm natural, but I still can't understand it. This Zhu Biao is very good. Why did he do the wine making business? Could it be that he found a market for wine making? The names of the wines I gave him are all like this It is always stocked in a generation of restaurants, and there is self-brewed bootleg wine in the countryside, who would buy his wine?"

Du Xing said with a smile: "I heard that he was parading with a big worm. The county lord received him and went to a restaurant to drink and chat with him. Could it be that he persuaded the county lord to buy the wine made by him all over the county?"

Li Ying said with a smile: "What's the use of persuading the county magistrates? Those restaurants in the county town, the one behind is not supported by local snakes, or the Yamen secretary office participates in the shares? Even if the county magistrate agrees, without these people nodding, I'm afraid it won't be possible. Whatever, no If you mention this matter, I will lie down and see where Zhu Biao goes!"

When Hu Cheng returned home, he also told Grandpa Hu, Taigong Hu frowned and thought about it for a long time, and said, "Nowadays, the price of food is not low, if your sister-in-law makes wine, how do you think we can recover the cost?"

Hu Cheng frowned and said: "If you want to make good wine, you must use rice and wheat; but if you just want to be cheap, you can use sorghum, which can guarantee the harvest in drought and flood, and the price is not expensive, but sorghum is used as the base material to make wine, and the wine is not drinkable at all." Ah, I have never brewed wine, and I know it!"

Hu Cheng continued: "Maybe sell it to the Kuhaha people? How can I sell it for how much money? Could it be that he wants to sell it to the Khitan people in the north? But the Khitan nobles naturally drink good wine, and the Khitan Kuhaha below, even if they like it, but Sending it over thousands of miles, can't you afford the bitterness?"

Hu Taigong smiled and said: "You are right, but it is a pity that this child, Zhu Biao, is young and successful, and I am afraid that he is fascinated by this hero's prestige. suffer."

They didn't know that at this time, Zhu Biao had recruited three wine craftsmen who used to be wineries, and said with a smile: "This is the signing document, and this is money. You can ask someone in the yamen or someone you know to read it. If you sign it, you will pay two yuan a month, and you will be in charge of food and lodging; if you feel bad, don’t worry, just don’t sign it.”

Although the Song Dynasty was rich, taxes were heavy, especially Cai Jing, a well-known traitor in history, blatantly proposed to the emperor the strategic concept of "prosperity, prosperity and Yuda", which tickled the bastard emperor's itch, so the rule of Bianjing City It was a time of great prosperity for those who sang and danced and played songs every night. However, Cai Jing and his party members took the opportunity to exploit the people under the banner of "reform" and caused great damage to social production.

Therefore, there are many wineries that go bankrupt, because no matter how good the craftsmanship is, they cannot withstand the exploitation of officials. If the relationship is not in place, then bankruptcy is inevitable.

The three in front of me are all from Yanggu County, the leader is Fang Canghai, who was originally the shopkeeper of a very good winery in Yanggu County, he was an apprentice at the age of twelve or thirteen, and gradually became a fire cooker Dagong was promoted to be the shopkeeper. After the wine shop closed, he went to Yunzhou City, Dongping Prefecture to do coolies to make a living.The other two are apprentices brought out by him, one is Yuan Xiaoying and Yuan Xiaoxiong. Originally, he had two capable apprentices named Yuan Xiaohao and Yuan Xiaojie respectively. The nobleman was murdered by other people's plan to use the gangsters.

They worked hard for a year, and the money they earned for their hard work was not enough for regular money, and for the guys in normal shops, it is considered good if they can eat enough during their three-year apprenticeship, and they don’t want to get their wages. It is also extremely rich.

And getting two guan money a month, I'm afraid it's the guy of the famous Fan Lou in Bianjing City who has this salary.

Although Fang Canghai couldn't believe that there would be pie in the sky, he couldn't resist the temptation after all, so he took the paperwork and went to the county seat, consulted with the prison officer he knew before, and inquired about Zhu Biao's majestic deeds, and finally he was relieved. Sign a contract with Zhu Biao.

Soon Zhujiazhuang was on Pantuo Road, hiring workers, building a winery, and at the same time arranging people to buy sorghum in large quantities.

"What? That guy Zhu Biao is buying sorghum in a big way. He has bought dozens of stones in the past few days? Is he crazy? Grandpa Zhu won't stop him?"

In Li's house, Li Ying said to Du Xing.

Du Xing also looked puzzled: "I didn't expect that Zhu Biao was playing for real. What's so good about drinking sorghum wine? It hurts like being chopped off by an axe. Even the tenants of our Lijiazhuang rarely drink it? "

Li Ying sneered: "At the banquet that day, I also persuaded him, hehe, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes! When he comes out to drink, let's see how he ends up!"

In Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Biao was watching the training situation of the guards. After more than 20 days of rigorous training, the guards had barely looked good. There is a hint of momentum.

At this time, Zhu Santong came to report: "Sanlang, there is a person at home, and Sanlang is afraid that he will greet him personally."

"Oh, who is it?"

Zhu Santong chuckled, and said, "It's Sanlang's unmarried lady, the villain's mistress, the daughter of Hu's family, the one called Yizhangqing."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and lightly patted Zhu Santong on the head: "You bastard, you dare to make fun of the master!"

When his fiancée came to visit, Zhu Biao naturally wanted to see him. He temporarily put down his things and rushed to the lobby, where he saw his mother pretending to be a girl and asking questions in a soft voice. Seeing Zhu Biao enter the door, the girl Glancing at him, his face gradually turned red.

Zhu Biao came forward to say hello with a smile, everyone sat down, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Listen to Brother Hu, Sanniang practices martial arts every day, and the two of them are superb. Why are you free to come here today?"
