Ancient promotion routine

"Your Majesty takes care of everything, Datong is too far away from Chang'an City, Erlang didn't think carefully." Li Mingrui said lightly.

Zhang Yanjin hurriedly said: "I only wanted to dedicate this place to the emperor, but forgot to consider the geographical issue. Please forgive me."

How could he not know that it is impossible for the emperor to travel thousands of miles from Chang'an City to live here?But if he doesn't say a word, it's a matter of attitude.In any case, the attitude should be correct, right?

The emperor of the feudal dynasty is respected, so naturally he can't do too much in front of the emperor, can he?

"The scenery here is beautiful, and the buildings are elegant and unique. It is indeed a good place. If I have time in summer, I will come here to stay for a few days." The emperor admired the villa, which looked like an elegant saint.

After Zhang Yanjin accompanied the emperor and Li Mingrui around Cuiping Mountain, he said, "It's getting late, and I have already had some freshly cut mutton rolls, hot pot and grilled fish ready for the emperor to taste."

By the time they returned to the low-slung inn, several large desks had already been put together, and oil lamps were already lit on the surrounding tables, illuminating the always dim inn lobby brightly, which can be said to be the best. Try to make the emperor feel comfortable.

What made Zhang Yanjin feel at ease was that the emperor was not picky at all, and sat directly on the mat that had been prepared long ago.

When Zhang Wuer and the others saw that Zhang Yanjin and the emperor had returned, they hurriedly brought in dish after plate of lamb meat that had been prepared earlier. The thin lamb meat was naturally curled together because it was too thin and tender, forming a beautiful shape. curve.Liu Tieniu had already arranged it in a geometric trapezoid according to Zhang Yanjin's previous instructions, and a layer of cabbage was spread underneath. The red and white fresh and tender mutton was more moist against the background of the cabbage, which whetted the appetite.

Plates of fresh vegetables were washed and served neatly. The water droplets were falling on the emerald green leaves.

The red broth and white broth in the hot pot alternate, one red and one white, rolling slightly, just looking at it makes people appetite.

Not to mention that the fragrance floats to every corner of the room with the rising water vapor, making people swallow their saliva.

This hot pot was prepared by Zhang Wuer and the others in advance. At the beginning, the flames were pressed. With the blessing of high firepower at this time, the rolling broth immediately boiled.

After explaining carefully to the emperor, Zhang Yanjin helped the emperor to boil the mutton in the red soup, and brought a small dish with sesame paste, and put it in front of the emperor.

After taking a bite, the emperor spontaneously picked up mutton and vegetables and boiled them in the broth. He didn't need Zhang Yanjin and Li Mingrui to take care of them at all, and the more he ate, the happier he was. Li Mingrui beside him opened his eyes wide.

Zhang Yanjin admired the hot pot culture in his heart. The emperor, who was used to delicious food, still couldn't resist the charm of hot pot.

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Yanjin asked someone to serve charcoal grilled fish again. This charcoal grilled fish was his new experiment. In modern times, barbecues in the night market are very popular every night. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. In this case, why doesn't he also set up a night market in a large restaurant?

"You made this again?" The emperor was satisfied after eating and drinking. After wiping his hands with moist cotton, he pointed to the hot pot and said.

Zhang Yanjin smiled and said, "Datong is too cold in winter, so this minister came up with this method."

After all, he asked someone to bring up a big wooden box, opened it, and a delicately crafted hot pot was presented in front of the emperor.

"After Weichen tried it once, he hurriedly asked someone to make one for the emperor, with hot pot soup base, and wanted to present it to the emperor." Zhang Yanjin looked at the emperor sincerely.

After eating and drinking, and being given so many gifts, the emperor felt that Zhang Yanjin had tricked himself into rewarding him with the coal mines in Datong, and his anger had finally dissipated. After all, without Zhang Yanjin, the coal in Datong might still have been buried underground. , I don't know how many years it took to be used, and said: "You really have a heart."

Zhang Yanjin saw that the emperor's complexion had improved, and he seemed to be less angry with himself, and he was slightly relieved.

When he saw the emperor, he guessed that the emperor would suspect that the places he wanted in Datong were premeditated. They all doubted his original motives. How could there be so many coincidences?What's more, His Majesty is wise and mighty?

The most frightening thing is not that the emperor directly got angry and made people beat him thirty slaps like he did in the court, but it is like now that he is angry in his heart but keeps silent.

This is why he has been carefully serving the emperor today, but there is another reason for him to do so.

In fact, Zhang Yanjin misunderstood the emperor. It was not that the emperor didn't want to get angry, but that there was no way to get angry. After all, there was a coal mine in Datong, but he personally rewarded Zhang Yanjin.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Back then when Zhang Yanjin asked him how many pieces of land he wanted in Datong with a playful face, everyone laughed at Zhang Yanjin for being shameless and not paying attention to fame. I wonder if anyone can laugh now?

Zhang Yanjin took the rice paper from Zhang Wu who had been standing silently at the side, walked up to the emperor with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

The emperor's expression turned serious, and he stared at Zhang Yanjin.He was deceived by this rascal, and he hasn't settled with this rascal, yet this guy is begging himself again?

But after all, eating people is the shortest, holding people's hands is short, and the hot pot and grilled fish just now are too comfortable to eat.The emperor said lightly: "But it's okay to say."

Zhang Yanjin immediately spread the rice paper that had been prepared a long time ago on the large table in front of the emperor, and said with a smile: "Reporting to the emperor, after the coal mine opened, people from all over the world came here to buy coal, but they are suffering from the difficulties of Datong. The place is so poor that there is not even a decent inn, and this is not the main road, and the inn is too far away, so many coal pullers have nowhere to stay at night, so I want to build a The inn, let these people come to Datong again, and they will have a place to live."

He glanced at the rice paper on the case table and said: "I want to ask Your Majesty to help me name a hotel, to show His Majesty's kindness to all people."

The emperor couldn't help taking a deep look at Zhang Yanjin, who was smiling faintly under the oil lamp. He always thought that this rascal kid would only care about pleasure and make money, so he would toss about this series of things. He never thought that Zhang Yanjin, who was young, knew how to sympathize with the people at the bottom.Thinking about what he saw along the way, the villagers here in Datong have indeed lived a prosperous life because of Zhang Yanjin's arrival, and the last anger in the emperor's heart disappeared without a trace.

He knew what Zhang Yanjin wanted his words for, but this matter, in the heart of the emperor, was worthy of praise.

He took the pen handed over by Zhang Yanjin, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote three strong characters: An Le Ju.

Since it is opened for the common people, the easy-to-understand Anleju is perfect, isn't it?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yanjin hastily thanked the Emperor for his kindness.Who is the most famous person of this era?It's the emperor!Some people may not know the great literati, but no one does not know the emperor.

With the emperor's inscription, this large inn of his will surely become popular all over the world and welcome guests from all over the world!

Meng Jinglun, who learned that the emperor had arrived, hurried over. Seeing that the person sitting in the hall was indeed the emperor, he hurriedly saluted the emperor: "My minister is late to pick you up, please forgive me!"

The emperor didn't care too much, after waiving Meng Jinglun's gift, he asked about many affairs of Datong.

Meng Jinglun was obviously a person who was diligent in his official duties. Meng Jinglun answered all the questions about Datong asked by the emperor, which can be said to be fluent.

Zhang Yanjin looked at Meng Jinglun, who was not bad in etiquette, and suddenly understood why Meng Jinglun did not appear in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty.

There is no other reason, I am afraid it is just bad luck.

Datong is a barren place, if he hadn't come and dug up the coal, so what if Meng Jinglun was diligent in his work?Still no one in the court noticed him.

But after making such a fuss by himself, Datong glowed with the brilliance he should have in advance, and even Meng Jinglun was noticed by the emperor. Could this be the butterfly effect?So what kind of development will Meng Jinglun, who is knowledgeable and generous, have?

Meng Jinglun, who got the news, had already prepared his residence before he came. After talking with Meng Jinglun for a while, the emperor got up and went back to the county government office with Meng Jinglun. Yamen is safer.

Afterwards, after the emperor inspected the river engineering in Xizhou, he was accompanied by Meng Jinglun and Zhang Yanjin. It took more than ten days of private visits in micro-services before the emperor returned to Chang'an City.

Only then did Zhang Yanjin know that the emperor had been traveling in micro-services for inspections, but most people didn't know about it.Thinking of Emperor Kangxi's six visits to the south of the Yangtze River during the Qing Dynasty, which exhausted the national treasury, and comparing it with the current emperor, Zhang Yanjin had to say that he was very emotional.

Being in a high position, but being able to control one's own desires and the glory brought by power, and truly thinking about the country, this is the true demeanor of ruling the world!

Zhang Yanjin had the emperor's autograph inscription in his hands, and the red bricks in the brick factory were almost ready. More importantly, the spring plowing at the workers' homes was almost busy, so Zhang Yanjin began to arrange people to lay the foundation in the place he chose. .

The plan for a year lies in spring. Breaking ground in spring is like reviving all things and sprouting dead branches, which makes people happy.

And the factory building that Zhang Yanjin prepared for the workers was also gradually drying in the spring breeze. After preparing the bedding and beds, Zhang Yanjin asked Zhang Wuer to recruit people from a distant place in order to establish this large inn as soon as possible. Before autumn comes, build up the large inn.

After many days of traveling, Zhang Wuyi finally returned to Datong from Yulin.

"Erlang, this is the title deed." Zhang Wu, who was obviously darker and thinner, took out the title deed wrapped in the red cloth and handed it to Zhang Yanjin.

Looking at the neat land deeds, Zhang Yanjin would be lying if she said she wasn't moved.The two Ruifu brothers have been by his side since childhood, and they are quite loyal to him, but there is no need to say much between men, Zhang Yanjin patted Zhang Wuyi on the shoulder and said: "Thank you."

Then he asked Zhang Wuyi to go down to rest quickly, and it would not be too late to get busy with other things after the rest.

Zhang Wuyi has a calm personality. After training with him for so long, he quietly went to Yulin alone to buy a coal mine. He is mature and experienced.Zhang Yanjin already had a good idea of ​​what to do as the shopkeeper of a large inn.

It can be said that Zhang Yanjin has been focusing on the design of the inn recently. The coal mine, the brick-burning yard, and the villas at the foot of Cuiping Mountain have all been on track, but the inn is still under construction.

He has already arranged for the factory to open another workshop to make hot pot, but this is not enough for Zhang Yanjin. If he wants to open a large inn and welcome guests from all directions, food is the most important problem.

After estimating the flow of people going to and from Datong, he decided to build a four-story inn, with the restaurant on the bottom floor and residents on the top three floors.

After all, according to his observation, most of the people who come here are staying in the inn, and they don't eat in the inn every day. After all, this is not like a place where the nobles of Chang'an City gather.In this way, it is only necessary to leave one floor as a restaurant, and build the other three floors as living rooms, so as to maximize the benefits and maximize the use of the inn.

He can buy food and meat from nearby villagers, but vegetables must have a fixed planting base.

No one here in Datong has ever wanted to get such a thing, and it is specially supplied to the inn. Of course, the inn does not need it. Before he brought people to Datong, Liu Tieniu's inn had no guests for many days.

Zhang Yanjin tapped the table lightly, her mind constantly spinning.He can make a base for growing vegetables, but who will take care of it?

What Zhang Yanjin didn't expect was that Liu Tieniu came to him on his own initiative after learning that he was going to build a large inn.

"Erlang, I..." Liu Tieniu's already dark and red face turned even redder. He looked back and saw Cuiniang waving her hand to urge him, so he said dryly, "Erlang, I heard that you want to open the door." A large inn?"

Zhang Yanjin raised her head and looked at the embarrassed Liu Tieniu, somewhat confused about Liu Tieniu's meaning.After his inn opens, Liu Tieniu's inn will inevitably be affected, but Liu Tieniu's inn can target low-priced customers, and the business will not be too bad.

Before Zhang Yanjin could explain, Liu Tieniu said, "Erlang, when your inn opens, my auspicious inn will definitely not be able to continue. Can Erlang find a job for our husband and wife? For example, cook for the workers?"

Zhang Yanjin happened to have such an idea. During this period of time, Liu Tieniu and Cuiniang cooked the workers' lunch. It would be great if they were willing to continue like this.

He thought for a while and said, "Of course, but I also want to open up a vegetable garden dedicated to planting various vegetables. Would you husband and wife be willing to manage the vegetable garden?"

When his inn and various small restaurants opened, it would cost too much to buy vegetables from outside, so it would be better to open up vegetable gardens directly when the land in Datong was cheap.More importantly, he discovered that Cuiniang and Liu Tieniu had always grown vegetables by themselves, and he thought that if they managed the vegetable garden, they would not go wrong.

Liu Tieniu's dark red face became even redder. He nodded excitedly. Now Zhang Erlang's workers have a lot of benefits. The income in the past six months is twice as much as that of his dilapidated inn. I work under him, but compared with other workers who signed that contract, they are obviously not one, because other workers have any work-related injury benefits, and even wrote that if they work for Zhang Erlang's factory for 20 years, after 20 years, they will be If you quit, you can still receive half a slam every month.

Before Zhang Erlang came, there were not many households in his village who could save two pennies a year, but now they are alone, and each household pays half a penny a month, and they don't have to work anymore.

As soon as the benefits came out, Liu Tieniu saw that everyone was working harder and harder, and was afraid of making mistakes, so he was fired and could not work for 20 years.

Liu Tieniu was also jealous, he didn't sign a worker's contract, and he was really afraid that Zhang Erlang's project would end and he would have nothing to do.

Now that the opportunity came, Liu Tieniu agreed straight away, his broken inn was just a house built by himself, it was no longer an inn, and his house was much more spacious.

After thanking Zhang Yanjin again, he left with Cuiniang.

Zhang Yanjin drew on paper the simple equipment needed for distilling wine, distilling wine and extracting wine.The wine they drink now is leaching wine. When brewing wine, the fermented grains are filtered out to obtain leaching wine.This filtering method is called pouring wine or sifting wine. The wine they generally drink now, and the rice wine, rice wine, Japanese sake, and wine in the future are all leaching wine, which is the turbid wine mentioned in the poem.

Because it is the wine that comes out directly after the food is brewed, the wine is too harsh and the purity is relatively low. This is why people in ancient times often said that they were not drunk at all after drinking dozens of bowls.However, due to the grain in it, this kind of turbid wine is rich in nutrition.

Distilled wine is to filter the original brewed turbid wine after the technology is mature and the equipment is advanced, and then distilled to evaporate the alcohol and other substances in it, and then condense it into other containers to become a high-purity wine. Liquor, that is, liquor, brandy and other liquors in the future.

If the fermented grain is fermented by yeast for the second time, then filtered and distilled, the purity of the wine obtained will be higher.

The process of making distilled alcohol is not difficult, but the level of chemical research in this era is too low, and it is not known that alcohol can be evaporated from it.

The full pen tip moves lightly on the snow-white rice paper, and with a light stroke of the pen tip, a simple distillation device is completely drawn.

Zhang Yanjin looked at the picture on the rice paper, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He might consider opening a workshop specializing in wine making and distilling. In this way, people who come to Datong can buy a few jars of shochu when they leave.

There are many rich and noble children in Chang'an City, and more distilled wine is needed. He can also open a winemaking workshop in Chang'an City to sell wine.

"What is this?"

Zhang Yanjin said with a smile: "Don't think too much about it, it's for brewing wine. Order it to build a winery, and get [-] sets of these things I want and put them in the factory building."

"Erlang, can this weird thing really make wine?" Because it was subverting his cognition.

Zhang Yanjin said with a little deep meaning: "The wine I made. It is not the wine that people drink now. It is based on the original wine and one or two processes are added. Once this wine comes out, I can guarantee that other wines that are called fine wine You have to lower the price of Feibaijiu in order to sell a little.”

"Okay, let's go down and do errands. Before things come out, do more and ask less!"

Wang Jiu and Wang Shi stopped talking immediately and left with cupped hands.
