No matter where it is, as long as you are a small leader, life will be much more comfortable, and now Li Xin is like this, this captain's battalion in Princess Qinghe's Mansion is his subordinate, and he doesn't have to go to Yulinwei to report, and even the points of the captain's camp are his own responsibility, so Li Xin doesn't have to go to the princess's mansion every day to report, but he will go to see it when he thinks about it.

Of course, when Her Royal Highness the princess summoned, Li Xin still had to go and get her something to eat.

After all, in a sense, Li Xin and the captain's battalion under him do not belong to Yu Linwei for the time being, but to the command of Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, and they can't openly disobey Shangguan.

That morning, Li Xin finally drew a rough sketch of the distillation equipment.

In later generations, almost all of them were distilled spirits that were brewed first and then distilled, because the alcohol concentration was at most than ten degrees Celsius for simple brewing, and it was impossible to get any higher.

In addition, it is difficult to ensure that the sake is clear.

Therefore, before the distillation technology came out, the ancients generally drank "turbid wine".

The so-called distillation is to use the different boiling points of alcohol and water to purify the brewed alcohol and aroma, which will not destroy the original taste of the brewed liquor, but only make it purer and stronger.

Although the sketch was drawn, things were not particularly anxious, Li Xin walked around the courtyard after a fist pile, then changed into civilian clothes, Shi Shiran walked out of his courtyard, and walked towards the Wei Wangfu in Yongle Fang.

Since Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, returned to Beijing and denied Li Xin's identity, Li Xin's "heat" has slowly cooled down in the capital, and now, as long as he doesn't do anything big, no one will be bored enough to send someone to follow him, plus this matter is very important, so he wants to go to the Wei Wangfu in person.

When passing through the gate of the Wei Palace, Li Xin saw that the gate of the palace was closed, and he looked like he was closing the door to thank the guests.

The last time he came to the Wei Palace, it was quite bustling at the gate of the palace, and many people lined up to give gifts to the prince, but now it is so deserted, obviously because His Royal Highness the King of Wei listened to his own opinions and began to retract his tentacles.

Li Xin hesitated, did not enter through the front door, but went around to the back door of the Wei Palace, and after the transmission, he soon saw His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince dressed in black in the backyard of the Wei Palace.

At this time, the weather was slowly getting a little hot, and His Royal Highness King Wei led Li Xin to the bottom of a pavilion, and smiled at Li Xin: "It's rare that Brother Xin took the initiative to come to my palace, what is the big deal?" ”

Since the two met, Li Xin had only come to the Wei Palace, and the rest of the time, His Royal Highness the King of Wei took the initiative to find him.

Li Xin took out a few sketches from his sleeves, handed them to the Seventh Prince, and said straight to the point: "Your Highness, this is something I made during this time, there is no one around me to use, Your Highness is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, please let Your Highness make a few sets of samples according to this." ”

The Seventh Prince flipped through these pictures casually, and the pictures were a strange thing connected by a bamboo pipe, and His Royal Highness King Wei looked at it several times and never knew what it was, so he frowned: "What is this?" ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, and his voice was solemn: "Your Highness, this is a transaction, if this transaction is only done by His Royal Highness, within three years, His Highness can at least earn a million yuan." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced up at the Seventh Prince and said in a low voice: "If it is operated properly, it can even have one percent of the imperial court's income." ”

The tax revenue of the Great Jin Dynasty for a year is about 30 million guan when converted into copper coins, and one percent of the national treasury is 3 million guan a year.

Of course, the premise of such a large profit is that it must be monopolized, and it is a violent monopoly by using the state apparatus, and no private interference is allowed, otherwise even if this income can be reached in a short period of time, after three or five years, this formula will inevitably spread, and then the profits will be greatly reduced.

His Royal Highness King Wei's face suddenly turned solemn.

His hands trembled a little.

What is the concept of the revenue of the treasury? This means that he can develop his power unscrupulously in secret, after all, there are really not many places in this world where money can't get through.

After all, the imperial court is a big stall, there are too many places up and down that need money, disaster relief, sounds, officials, and a few armies to feed, and in comparison, the Wei Wangfu is just a small stall, if there is such a large income, the Wei Wangfu will have unlimited potential in the future.

Ji Wen took a few deep breaths before he could barely calm down, and he glanced at Li Xin deeply.

"Letter...... Brother Xin is not talking nonsense? ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, this premise is to ensure that we monopolize this transaction, if we share the profits with others, the profits will be greatly reduced, but as long as Your Highness does a good job of secrecy, at least within ten or eight years, it will not be a problem to earn so much." ”

There are too many liquor shops in the world, and the imperial court can ban and monopolize the salt and iron industry, but the liquor industry is not very realistic, after all, the raw materials of this thing can be found everywhere, and it can be brewed by a small workshop, and it is impossible for the imperial court to issue a special edict, stipulating that only the Wei Wangfu can sell distilled spirits.

The Seventh Prince looked at the sketch handed over by Li Xin again, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xin, what the hell is this?" ”

"The stuff of winemaking."

Li Xin smiled: "This thing was passed to me a few years ago, when an old Taoist priest passed by Yongzhou, the old Taoist priest said that the wine that came out of this thing, whether it is color, purity, or strength, is more than three or four times stronger than ordinary wine." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin bowed his head and said: "After the wine is out, His Royal Highness can first put it in the proud building, and at most one month, this wine can be famous in the capital." ”

"When the time comes, it will be time for His Highness to earn money."

The Seventh Prince was a little disappointed when he heard the word "winemaking", but after hearing Li Xin say this, he nodded slowly: "If this thing is really as magical as Brother Xin said, it is indeed a good deal to gather wealth." ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Whether it works or not, Your Highness will know when you try it." ”

Ji Wen nodded: "I'll go to the Ministry of Engineering later, transfer a few craftsmen back to the palace, and get a set of finished products to try first." ”

Speaking of this, His Royal Highness the King of Wei sighed: "It's a pity, even if what Brother Xin said is true, the wine business, the imperial court will not let me let the Wei Wangfu franchise." ”

For this, Li Xin has long had an idea.

He was engaged in high-end liquor marketing in his last life, and he is most familiar with this set, but in a short period of time, he is the only one in the capital who has distilled liquor, and during this time, as long as he stirs up a "famous brand", he can harvest the money bags of those rich people in the capital on a large scale.

Li Xin smiled slightly: "Your Highness, I said in advance that I will share this deal, whether it is successful or not." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled heartily.

"Brother Xin made this thing up, so naturally I want to share half with you."

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "I want two achievements enough." ”

The interests involved in this matter are too great, and we must be cautious, if Li Xinzhen takes half of it, I am afraid that it will not be long before he becomes a thorn in the eye of the Wei Palace, a thorn in the flesh.

This is a measure that must be grasped.
