In fact, they were right. As Hu Cheng said before, no one in Dulonggang had a brewery for several generations.

And as we all know, this private wine brewing can never be compared to the big workshops.

Chen Zhao is only sixteen years old. Even if he can subdue a tiger, he may not be able to subdue people's hearts. How can it be so easy to master the activities in the wine shop?

Not to mention whether you can sell the wine, just making drinkable wine is not an easy task.

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

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

After Li Cheng went back, he summoned his confidant Du Xing to talk about the matter. Du Xing thought for a moment and said: "Boss the high officials and the lowly people also think that Zhu Biao has lost his mind and gone crazy. Could it be that his martial arts training has some side effects?

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 Sanlang will punch you if he hears about it. Even five of you won't be able to bear it."

Du Xing said with a smile: "The villain just makes a few jokes in front of the officials. In front of Zhu Sanlang, the villain will naturally be cautious."

Li Ying said with a smile: "Of course I can understand, but I still can't understand clearly. Why does Chen Zhao want to be in the wine-making business? Is it possible that he has found a market for wine-making? The wine names I gave him are all like this

It’s always available in the restaurants in the area, and there’s homemade private wine in the country stores, so who would buy his wine?”

Du Xing laughed and said: "I heard that he was parading the city with a big insect. The county magistrate met him and went to a restaurant with him to drink and talk. Could it be that he convinced the county magistrate to buy the wine he brewed all over the county?"

Li Ying smiled and said: "What's the use of persuading the county magistrate? Are the restaurants in the county town supported by local snakes, or the Yamen Secretariat's shareholding? Even if the county magistrate agrees, without the nods of these people, I'm afraid it won't be possible. Whatever, no.

If you mention this matter, I will lie down and see where Zhu Sanlang goes!"

When Hu Cheng returned home, he also told Grand Duke Hu. Grand Duke Hu frowned and considered for a long time, and said: "Nowadays, the price of food is high. If your sister-in-law makes wine, how do you think we can recover the cost?"

Hu Cheng frowned and said: "To make good wine, you must have rice and wheat; but if you just want to be cheap, you can also use sorghum. This thing can guarantee the harvest in droughts and floods, and it is not expensive. But if sorghum is used as the base material to make wine, the wine will not be drinkable at all."

Ah, even if I have never made wine, I still know it!"

Hu Cheng continued: "Maybe sell it to the Kuhaha people? How much can it cost? 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 down there, even if they like to drink, but

After traveling thousands of miles to send it there, you can’t even afford those hardships?”

Taigong Hu smiled and said: "You are right, but it's a pity that Zhu Biao, a kid who has achieved success at a young age, may be blinded by the majesty of this hero. In this case, it would be better to start somersault early and be sensible early, so as to save your sister from marrying him."

suffer."

They didn't know that at this time, Chen Zhao had already recruited three brewing craftsmen who had worked in a brewery before, and said with a smile: "This is the contract document, and this is the money. You can ask someone from the Yamen or someone you know to read it. If you are satisfied,

If you sign, you'll get two coins a month, and you'll take care of food and accommodation; if you feel uncomfortable or worried, just don't sign."

Although the Song Dynasty was rich, taxes were also heavy. Especially Cai Jing, a famous power traitor in history, openly proposed to the emperor the strategic concept of "prospering Henan", which scratched the bastard emperor's itch, so the rule of Bianjing City

It was a prosperous time when people were singing and dancing and playing music 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, wineries in the city and countryside are bankrupt all over the place, because no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it cannot withstand the layers of exploitation by officials. If the relationship is not in place, bankruptcy is inevitable.

The three people in front of me are all people from Yanggu County. The leader is called Fang Canghai. He turned out to be the shopkeeper of an excellent winery in Yanggu County. He was an apprentice at the age of twelve or thirteen and gradually became a cook.

He was promoted to shopkeeper when he was a big worker. After the wine shop closed, he went to Yunzhou City, Dongping Prefecture, to work as a coolie to make a living. The other two were his apprentices, one named Yuan Xiaoying and Yuan Xiaoxiong. Originally, he had

Two capable apprentices, named Yuan Xiaohao and Yuan Xiaojie respectively, were killed because they had a bad temper and bumped into a nobleman.

They have worked hard for a year, and the hard-earned money they earn is not enough. As for the clerks in normal shops, if they can have enough to eat during the three years of apprenticeship, they are considered good. They don't want to get wages. Even if they get wages, they will get two or three dollars a year.

It’s also extremely rich.

And being paid two guan per month, I am afraid that only the clerks from the famous Fanlou in Bianjing City can get this kind of treatment.

Although Fang Canghai couldn't believe that a pie would fall from the sky, he couldn't resist the temptation after all, so he went to the county town with the documents, consulted with the police officer he was familiar with before, and inquired about Chen Zhao's impressive deeds, and finally felt relieved.

Signed a document contract with Chen Zhao.

Soon Zhujiazhuang hired workers and built a winery on Pantuo Road, and at the same time arranged for people to buy sorghum on a large scale.

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

In Lijiazhuang, Li Yingying said to Du Xing.

Du Xing also looked puzzled: "I didn't expect that Chen Zhao was actually serious. What's so good about sorghum wine? After one sip, the head hurts like being struck by an axe. Even our tenants in Lijiazhuang rarely drink it?"

"

Li Ying sneered: "I also persuaded him during the banquet that day. Hehe, if you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences! Let's see how he ends up when the sun rises and drinks!"

In Zhujiazhuang, Chen Zhaozheng was watching the training of the escort team. After more than twenty days of rigorous training, the escort team was barely in shape. Not only could they distinguish the front, rear, left, and right, they could also practice together with bamboo poles, which was quite impressive.

There is a hint of momentum.

At this time, Zhu Santong came to report: "Sanlang, there is a person coming to the house. I'm afraid Sanlang has to welcome him personally."

"Oh, who is it?"

Zhu Santong chuckled and said, "She is Sanlang's virgin wife, the villain's mistress, the daughter of Hujiazhuang, the one people call Yi Zhangqing."

Chen Zhao was stunned and patted Zhu Santong's head gently: "You dare to make fun of the master!"

When his fiancée Hu Sanniang Jiu came to visit, Chen Zhao naturally wanted to see him. He put down his things for the time being and rushed to the hall, where he saw his mother pulling a girl dressed in a strong costume and asking questions in a soft voice. When Chen Zhao came in,

The girl glanced at him and her face gradually turned red.
