Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 324: Mind the world

Huo Yunchao recalled that Magistrate Wang once said when he was drunk that three generations of his ancestors were soldiers guarding the frontier. The reason why he was cultivated by the Chen family was because his father saved the elder Chen in the frontier war. After his death, he was able to receive an education from an early age in the wealthy and prosperous Chen family.

In the bones and blood of County Magistrate Wang, there flows the passion to protect the family and the country and protect the people.

Huo Yunchao's top priority is to plant this crop of sweet potatoes. After doing this, he can do other things: "My lord, when this crop of sweet potatoes is planted in the ground, I will have time to brew spirits. Of course, if your lord is reliable, I can go to the brewery to see their brewing process, and then make improvements based on what I know about the brewing process.”

He wasn't sure what Dasheng Dynasty's brewing process was like. After all, the brewing industry was a hugely profitable business, and even small landowners with no financial resources could not support it. Not to mention that Huo Yunchao was just an unarmed civilian before, so how could he have the opportunity to come into contact with brewing? ?

Wine is brewed from grain and is sold at a high price. Ordinary people have to celebrate the New Year and have money in their pockets before they are willing to buy a jar or a kilogram of wine to take home and taste.

It is worth mentioning that there are rice wine and sorghum wine brewed by farmers. Due to the high price of grain, the price of wine brewed from grain cannot be low. For ordinary farmers, wine is very expensive.

Ordinary farm families can't even drink a few drinks, let alone make wine. If they want to drink, they can only buy it at a high price.

When County Magistrate Wang heard Huo Yunchao's assurance, he felt as if he had taken reassurance: "I'm a new official, so how can I find a trustworthy brewery? After you finish planting the sweet potatoes, I should be able to find a brewery that can be used." Workshop. Then I will go over to you and give instructions to the craftsmen."

Huo Yunchao said as he led Magistrate Wang to the mountain behind the Hou Mansion: "Sir, it's no problem. You need good water to make good wine, and mountain spring water is a very good raw material for making wine. If you want to make good wine, sir , it’s best to use the mountain spring water here. Hey, I just need some light.”

County Magistrate Wang followed Huo Yunchao and walked with difficulty in the mountains and forests: "Yunchao, no wonder you have such a headache. The road to get water is so winding and difficult. Relying on human power is not an option."

Huo Yunchao did not have the desire to wait for the rich landlords to exploit the common people. He could do without manpower. Not only did he save labor money, but he could also ensure the cleanliness of the water source: "Sir, my original idea was to lay water pipes and divert water directly from the mountains to the mountains. Water flows to lower places when people go up. But I haven't found a more suitable material than bamboo. It would be a good choice to use the bamboo as a water pipe after it is completely opened. The problem is that not only do I have to replace the bamboo pipes regularly, but I also have to be careful of accidental injuries to people and animals. Go to the water pipe. The mountains and forests here are lush, and according to the people nearby, wild boars often appear."

No matter how stupid Magistrate Wang was, he could tell why Huo Yunchao was encouraging him to use mountain spring water to make wine. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "You brat, you are plotting against me! You want to use my name to monopolize the mountain." spring?"

Huo Yunchao waved his hand to deny: "No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood me! I just want to get some light! I have less than ten people in my family. How much mountain spring water can I consume every day? Sir, the brewery is controlled by the officials. It is better to be in the hands of the family than to be in the hands of the landlords and old money. I tell you the truth, your Excellency is a man of great talent and virtue, and he is willing to help me during my term of office. What if someone else is replaced as the county magistrate? There are three things a new official should do when he takes office, and maybe the first thing he wants to do is burn on my head, and climb up the ranks by stepping on me, a Pinglehou who got a title by farming."

He didn't hide his thoughts at all and told the truth.

Naturally, County Magistrate Wang would not treat Huo Yunchao as a fool who said anything to others, but he said it based on his trust in him: "How dare you say that, you brat! If you let someone who cares hear it, I don't know how to arrange it for you." What kind."

Huo Yunchao cupped his hands and continued to confess his true thoughts: "Sir, everything I do is for the sake of my family and my children. Parents love their children for far-reaching reasons. I love little Fubao, and I hope to give him something. Xiao Fubao creates a living environment that is more suitable for her. Therefore, I will imagine ten or twenty years ago, and then work backwards based on what I don’t want to see to do what I can’t do now.”

"As long as you can brew strong liquor, you can do whatever you want with the brewing workshop, and I won't be unhappy if you arrange for your brothers and sisters."

County Magistrate Wang knew very well that Huo Yunchao's frankness and honesty depended on the person and the matter, and not everyone was lucky enough to witness it with his own eyes.

Huo Yunchao received this accurate word and showed a look of joy on his face: "Sir, with your words, I will be bold enough to try it! When I finish clearing wasteland to plant sweet potatoes, I will immediately arrange to brew spirits!"

Magistrate Wang suppressed his surging emotions and said to Huo Yunchao: "Keeping abreast of the farming season and planting sweet potatoes in time is a top priority. Brewing spirits takes a long time, so there is no rush."

Border warriors need spirits to maintain their body temperature, and even more to disinfect and debridement. However, the brewing techniques of spirits are firmly controlled in the hands of certain aristocratic families. Therefore, these aristocratic families can obtain more benefits in the court. Big right to speak.

Huo Yunchao could clearly feel how eager County Magistrate Wang was for strong liquor. He pursed his lips. He really wished he could grow another body. One would be used for farming, and the other would be used to make wine, find potatoes and Corn and so on.

"Yun Chao, I want to see your fire skills." Magistrate Wang didn't want to be immersed in the expectation of strong alcohol, so he found a reason for himself to distract himself.

Huo Yunchao led County Magistrate Wang to the entrance of the fire road: "Okay! Sir, my fire road was successfully verified because of the key suggestions made by experienced craftsmen. I will tell you the design points of the fire road. , you can write down the construction of the fire road in the memorial later. The winter in the capital is too cold, if the common people can use the fire road, it will definitely save many old people and children."

Magistrate Wang was startled. He looked at the high-spirited Huo Yunchao, and a warm current surged in his heart: The young talent who cares about the people of the world was so radiant that it stung his eyes.

That night, Magistrate Wang wrote down the key points of the construction of the fire road and the precautions when using the fire road. At the end of the memorial, he did not forget to attach what Huo Yunchao said. He hoped that Emperor Yong'an would know how much Huo Yunchao was a young talent worthy of attention and carrying hope.

Huo Yunchao knew nothing about it, "Sir, come on, I'll take you to see the greenhouse I specially set up."

The reason why he asked Magistrate Wang to present the fire bed to Emperor Yong'an was mainly because he was self-aware that his writing skills were not high and his handwriting was ugly, and he did not care whether his credit would be taken away from him.

He sincerely hopes to use the energy of Magistrate Wang and the Chen family to present his knowledge that spans thousands of years to Emperor Yong'an, which will not only consolidate his status, but also allow the people at the bottom to benefit from it.
