Laba.

Luo Cheng led 3,000 soldiers to evacuate Tongding City and arrived at the former site of Xiangping City at the foot of Wulu Mountain in the west of the city. It has become a large construction site, and tens of thousands of people are stepping up to build the city in the cold wind.

The city has not yet been built, and there is a messy construction site everywhere, but Luo Cheng doesn't care, there are tens of thousands of troops of Luo Yi and Song Laosheng on the side of the Liao River, and there are 3,000 people each in Tongding City and Liaobian Fort in front, even if there is no city here, there is no need to worry about the Goguryeo people calling.

What's more, the Linshuo Palace of Zhuojun has issued a holy decree, and on the first day of the first month of the eighth year of the Great Cause, more than 1 million troops gathered in Zhuojun will officially send troops to the east. At this time, the Goguryeo people were thinking about how to strengthen the defense line of the Liaohe River, and would not run here to spread wilderness.

A corner of the Xincheng construction site is Luo Cheng's 3,000 county soldiers stationed, and the other 3,000 county soldiers are still stationed in the Liaoze border in the south of Tongding City.

Wei Zheng followed Luo Cheng to turn around, and finally suddenly his nose ****** trembling.

He smelled the wine, and it was a unique wine aroma.

He glanced at Luo Cheng, who was leading the way in front of him.

In the corner of the camp, there is a dusty auxiliary flag, and in the cold winter, a group of men are busy working with only thin clothes, and even sweat on their heads.

Everywhere the fog rises.

As soon as Luo Cheng came in, he looked east and west, asked a few words here, and explained a few words there, which was very familiar. Wei Zheng exclaimed, "I can't imagine that the general actually makes wine?" Is this preparing for the New Year? ”

Luo Cheng looked down at the color of a bowl of wine, and said that the color was not enough. Then he said with a smile, "This wine is not brewed and drunk for the New Year, but for sale." ”

"Sell?"

Wei Zheng's eyes widened.

"You should be familiar with this wine, smell the taste and know that it is the kind of liquor I gave you before, this wine is strong, in this cold and frozen ghost place in Liaodong, drinking one or two sips is a whole body comfort. In the Central Plains, there are not many people who can drink my wine, but when I come to Liaodong, there are many people who like this wine. ”

"Don't look at my humble winery, but do you know how popular our wine is now? Needless to say, the first army and the second army have all booked a lot, and even the merchants of Huaiyuan City are also lined up. Especially those Hu people, they love our wine even more than tea. ”

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "But it's not appropriate to sell military rations and wine, right?" ”

Luo Cheng said with a smile, "I'm not using military rations to make wine, what do you see these are?" ”

Wei Zheng lowered his head and looked carefully, looking at the wine lees spread on the ground, it was not glutinous rice or wheat millet, "This is sorghum?" ”

"That's right, this is sorghum, we bought sorghum from Huaiyuan, this sorghum is just for livestock, it's very cheap. Let's buy sorghum from Huaiyuan merchants, and then pull it here to make wine, sorghum becomes clear liquor, and then sells it, do you know how many times the profit is from this change? ”

Wei Zheng shook his head.

"If it is ordinary winemaking, one pound of glutinous rice can make one and a half pounds of wine, which is good wine. If it is sold, one pound of glutinous rice can make two catties or even two and a half catties of wine, and if it is a bad wine sold in the store, and then mix it with some water, one pound of rice can actually produce three or four catties of wine. ”

Glutinous rice is more expensive than ordinary rice, but the price of sake is more expensive than rice, so sake brewing has always been a high profit. Not to mention those well-known good wines, such as Xinfeng wine, which can even be sold for 10,000 buckets, and the best glutinous rice is only a bucket of dozens of yuan.

"The grain in the border land is more expensive, and the sorghum that feeds the livestock is only four or five yuan per bucket in the Central Plains, but it can be sold for twenty wen per bucket in Huaiyuan here. I collected sorghum for 20 wen, and the merchants also helped me send it here from Huaiyuan, and then I used this sorghum to make liquor, I have a unique secret recipe for liquor, and one pound of sorghum can produce eight taels of wine. ”

Half a catty and eight taels, Wei Zheng felt that this sorghum wine was much lower than water wine, but a pound of sorghum was not bad. The key is also the price, and how much the price is sold determines the profit.

"Taste it." Luo Cheng poured out a small bowl of wine from a small jar and handed it to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng, who is a good winemaker, can be called an alcoholic, and he is also a master of winemaking, and their Wei family's home brewing is very good. He took the bowl and took a sip, the wine was fragrant and rich, and it was strong.

"Compared to the wine you gave me before, it seems to taste worse and is more vigorous." Wei Zhengdao.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of an old drunkard, this liquor has a characteristic, that is, it is stored more after it is brewed, and the longer it is stored, the more mellow the taste, and the better the taste. The new wine has a worse taste. ”

"It's almost almost, but this day I drank this liquor, and it tasted good." Wei Zheng licked his lips, and his face was already slightly red. "How much does this wine sell for?"

"Four hundred wines."

"Big fight, little fight?" Wei Zheng asked.

There are big buckets and small buckets, and big buckets are combined with small buckets and three buckets.

"Wine, of course, it's a small bucket, convention, and it's not a big bucket for rice and grain."

Now Wei Zheng's face turned even redder, a small bucket of wine actually sold for four hundred yuan?

Luo Cheng smiled, although wine is made from grain, it has never been a cheap thing. In the Sui Dynasty, a large bucket was equivalent to 6,000 milliliters in later generations, and a small bucket was folded to 2,000 milliliters.

A small bucket of liquor is actually two kilograms, and Luo Cheng sells it for four hundred yuan, in fact, he is priced according to one catty and one hundred yuan in later generations. One hundred dollars a catty, in fact, it can only be regarded as a low-grade liquor in future generations.

But Wei Zheng didn't count it like this, Luo Cheng bought a bucket of sorghum for only 20 yuan, or a big bucket, but sold it for 400 yuan for a small bucket, which is equivalent to a 60-fold increase.

No wonder Luo Cheng dared to make wine in the barracks, sixty times the profit, which can be compared with selling ordnance.

"How much alcohol is produced in a day?" Wei Zheng asked again.

"It's only a few hundred buckets a day."

Hundreds of buckets? Wei Zheng quickly calculated in his heart, one bucket is four hundred dollars, one hundred buckets is forty thousand dollars, a few hundred buckets, isn't it more than 100,000 yuan.

As for the cost, it's almost negligible.

"The main thing is that the koji is more troublesome, I use my own secret koji for this wine, I carried a batch before, but the amount is too small, and now I purchase raw materials to catch up, but I can't always catch up with the demand, which greatly limits the wine production of our winery." Luo Cheng had some regrets.

He now has enough manpower and a sufficient supply of sorghum, if it weren't for the fact that the koji couldn't keep up, let alone hundreds of buckets a day, a thousand buckets of wine a day would not be a problem.

Wei Zheng was more concerned about another issue.

Luo Cheng brewed wine in the military camp, or did he use auxiliary soldiers to make wine, so whose money is the money?

"The income from winemaking, naturally, is the small treasury of our county soldiers, and the brothers follow me to this Liao River in the cold and freezing, and I can't go back to my home, and I have to be outside for the New Year, which is very hard. I have to find some welfare for everyone, the money I earn from brewing, buy more clothes for everyone to protect against the cold and winter, give them some rewards, and let them send some money home for the Chinese New Year to their wives and children. ”

Wei Zheng looked at Luo Cheng and felt that this person was too young, but sometimes he admired the things in his head. Ordinary people have this secret method of brewing wine, and the money must be their own big head, so it is good to give the sergeant some soup. But Luo Cheng made money, but what he wanted was to improve the food treatment of the soldiers under his command, buy clothes, quilts, shoes and socks for everyone to spend the winter, and give them rewards and let them send money home.

"The First and Second armies have also come to buy our wine, and they know about it?"

Wei Zheng directly called this wine our wine.

"Of course I know about this, but we don't go too far in doing this, who doesn't do some small business, after all, there are so many brothers under him, and they have to live." Luo Cheng smiled and told Wei Zheng that Luo Yi and Song Laosheng both knew that he sold wine here, and they still ordered high-end liquor from him.

"Is this wine still high and low?"

"Of course, this wine is not all the same when it is made, the head of the wine is the most rushed, and the taste is the worst. The tail of the wine is the weakest, the taste is slightly inferior, and the best is the wine from the second pot head, which has the purest taste and is not mixed. So, we divided the wine into grades, the wine of the second pot head is sold for 400 bucket wine, and then the head wine and tail wine are mixed to neutralize the taste, and then sold the bucket wine for 300. In addition, we purify and filter the wine from these two pots, and then after accumulation and cellaring, and then get some high-grade exquisite packaging, so we sell the wine for 500 yuan, and there is a more luxurious gift version, just packaging a jar will cost 200 yuan, this kind of I sell the wine for a thousand yuan. ”

Wei Zheng admired the five-body throw, "It's a pity that you don't go to be a businessman." ”

"How can it be better to be a businessman than to be an official." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Luo Cheng asked a merchant from Huaiyuan to order a batch of gift box packaging, such as the wine he gave Luo Yi, Song Laosheng, and Li Jing, which was a limited edition with a price tag of ten yuan for the wine. A jar just happens to be a bucket of wine, the wine jar is used in the high-grade white porcelain bottle produced in Xingjiao, Hebei Province, there is a gift box made of sandalwood outside, and someone is found to write a poem on the box, and a set of white porcelain wine glasses is also included, which is very compelling.

Anyway, Luo Yi, Li Jing, Song Laosheng, these old guys were very satisfied after receiving the wine. Regarding Luo Cheng's brewing, everyone turned a blind eye and gave the green light.

Even they all went to Luo Cheng to buy a large number of them, such as Song Laosheng took a discount from Luo Cheng here, and bought a lot of high-end liquor for five hundred yuan a bucket, in addition to some of them to give away, most of them were sold to the Khitan and Xi people in the north to make a lot of money, Luo Cheng was very clear, but he didn't say anything at all, he would give as much as he wanted.

"In addition to the capital, we also have the winery over there in Liaobian Fort, which makes wine day and night, and now we have earned twenty or thirty thousand yuan."

The revenue of wine production in a day is thousands, but it is a real money-making business.

"It's almost the New Year, and we have 6,000 brothers in the county soldiers, and each of them has to be rewarded with a few dollars." Luo Cheng said with a smile. He planned to have a minimum of five guan per person, and the officers also increased according to their ranks, so that if you calculate it, it will be at least thirty or forty thousand, and he still has so many civilian auxiliary soldiers who are also following him, these people will definitely have to be rewarded, even if one person is consistent, they will get one or two thousand.

"It's really like money coming in and flowing out. The general does not love money, but he loves soldiers like sons. Wei Zheng said.

"They are all brethren who follow me, and this is a must."

Wei Zheng felt that Luo Cheng was really a person who could achieve great things.

"Lao Wei, I brought you over today, mainly because I want to hand over the matter of this stall to you, the business of this stall in the wine shop is not small, and it is also related to the welfare of our county soldiers and 10,000 brothers, so it is very important, I have a lot of fierce generals under my command, but if you say that you can't handle these things, you can rest assured."

Wei Zheng was also not polite, "The general can rest assured, he will take care of it well, and he will definitely make the accounts clear." ”

Simon Junyi strode in.

"Father-in-law, Dou Jiande is back."
