Chapter 639: The rebellion of Yueshan County

Moutai liquor actually existed a long time ago, and during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Moutai could be made locally, called wolf-sauce wine.

However, at that time, the process was very poor, not only the cycle was long, but the alcohol produced was also very low.

Well, well, in fact, throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period - even if it goes all the way back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the alcohol content is not high.

You can see from the Water Margin that there are one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan, all of whom eat meat in large chunks and drink wine in big bowls!

One person can drink more than a dozen bowls of wine!

According to one pound of wine per bowl, a person can drink at least ten pounds of liquor!

Liangshan has one hundred orders and eight generals, and seventy-two are in Yuncheng.

If you change to a modern high-level liquor, let alone in Yuncheng, you can relax to the whole of Shandong, and even to the whole of China, to find one hundred and eight heroes who can drink more than a dozen catties of liquor, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!

It can be inferred from this that the degree of liquor at that time was actually very low, and it is estimated that it is about the same as the reading of modern beer, that is, more than ten degrees.

In this way, it is still easy to find seventy-two heroes in Yuncheng who can drink more than a dozen catties of beer.

The ancient process of winemaking was very rough, how rough was it?

Even during the Tang and Song dynasties, there would be a lot of wine residue in the wine, and the wine was very turbid.

Mo laughs at the farmer's wine, and the guests stay in the harvest year, which is not polite, it is really muddy.

A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, Yan Ran has no plan, it is not modest, it is really turbid.

Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen": Green ant new roasted wine, red clay small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing?

It looks poetic and beautiful.

But what are these green ants?

It turns out that Bai Juyi is a fruit wine, and green ants refer to the residual pulp that is the size of an ant.

It doesn't feel like wine, it looks like a lot of fruit.

From this, the backwardness of the ancient winemaking process can be seen.

Lu Bu believed that when he introduced modern advanced technology and brewed a liquor with a clear and transparent liquor with a degree of up to fifty or sixty degrees, it would definitely be able to cause a sensation in the Three Kingdoms era.

At that time, just one Moutai industry will be able to drive the economic development of a large area around it.

Now Lu Bu is thinking about whether to bring in the old godmother......

After Lu Bu came to Moutai Town, the first thing he did was to choose a factory director with ethics and responsibility.

In fact, the first person Lu Bu thought of was Guo Jia, because this product was very good wine, if Guo Jia knew that he could actually make such a good wine, I believe he would be interested.

If Lu Bu dared to let him come, he dared to come, and without the slightest hesitation.

Of course, it is impossible for Lu Bu to really let Guo Jia come.

Let a cabinet scholar brew wine, Lu Bu estimated that he could be scolded to death by the world.

In the end, Lu Bu still selected a respected elder in the local area to serve as the factory director.

The next step is to expand the scale and improve the winemaking process.

Moutai liquor has to be brewed, following the principle of picking koji during the Dragon Boat Festival and feeding materials in Chongyang.

And it takes at least five years from the time the koji is picked to the factory.

So what Lu Bu can do now is to expand the scale of the Moutai Distillery.

Lu Bu prepared the first batch of Moutai liquor, which could at least be supplied to Dahuaguo.

Then gradually increase the production of Moutai every year in the future.

You must know that in later generations, Moutai is a pillar industry in the entire Guizhou Province, and the tax revenue of Moutai Group is as high as more than 2 billion!

As long as this Moutai distillery is revitalized, half of Guizhou's economy can be revitalized.

……

Unknowingly, Lu Bu stayed in Guizhou for nearly two months.

The Kweichow Moutai Distillery was built, a scale that does not need to be expanded for at least the next 20 years.

Of course, because of the process problems of Moutai, the wine can only be produced after five years.

So in the short term, you may not see much effect.

Therefore, at this time, the only way to take the form of imperial court subsidies can be adopted so that the winery can be maintained.

Before you know it, the time has come to November, and the weather is getting colder.

The affairs of the winery are over, and Lu Bu is also ready to go back to Nanjing.

At this time, Lu Bu received a letter from home.

There was a thick pile of family letters, and Lu Bu first read the letters written to him by the daughters, and the letters were full of longing.

Cai Yan's deep affection, Diao Chan's subtlety, Yan Rui's affection, Zhang Ning's enthusiasm, and Da Qiao Xiaoqiao's coquettishness, Lu Bu's heart was drunk.

I can't wait to put my arms on my wings and fly to them right away, and love them well.

After the letters of the daughters, it was the letters written to him by Lu Bu's children.

Lu Lingqi wrote: Father, you must take care of your body outside, Lingqi wants to write, wait for you to go home for the New Year.

Lu Bin wrote: Father, why don't you go home yet? I'm getting taller again, and if you don't come back, I'm going to surpass you!

What Lu Sheng wrote: Father, next time Sheng'er will follow you and serve you! I haven't seen my father for a long time, Sheng'er really misses you!

Lu Yunxin wrote: Father, when will you come back? People are almost forgetting what you look like!

Lu Qinxin and Lu Cheng left a few messy little palm prints, and Lu Bu laughed when he saw it.

Seeing this, Lu Bu felt that his heart was about to melt.

I'm a little incompetent as a father, and when I go back, I must take time to accompany these little guys.

Especially Lingqi and Sheng'er, they are too sensible!

If there are many children, parents will definitely be partial.

And Lu Bu prefers the eldest daughter Lu Lingqi and the second son Lu Sheng.

……

Lu Bu packed his bags, led 5,000 personal guards, left Guizhou, and prepared to return to Nanjing.

The road was bumpy and tiring, and in a few days, I left Guizhou and was about to enter the Jingzhou area.

At this time, Lu Bu received an emergency military situation, and there was a rebellion in Yueshan County, one of the seven counties in Nanzhong.

Well? Rebellion in the county of Yueshan? How is this possible?

This matter was very strange, and Lu Bu immediately found Jia Xu and prepared to take Jia Xu to Yueshan County to suppress the rebellion.

Jia Xu said to Lu Bu with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, Yueshan County borders the northern part of Yizhou, beware of their fraud!" The son of a daughter can't sit in the hall, and he can't do a dangerous wall, and his subordinates think that it is enough for the emperor to send a general to suppress the rebellion, and the emperor can't take the risk himself! ”

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and said: "Jia Aiqing is too worried, I have fought on the battlefield many times in my life, fighting in the south and in the north?" I'm the true son of heaven, and I'll be fine! ”

"If you want me to stay in the palace and deal with those political affairs, I think it's better to fight on the battlefield again! Don't persuade me anymore about this matter, I'm ready to go on a personal expedition! ”

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Jia Xu couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

What's the matter, you're going to go on a personal expedition?

However, Jia Xu also had to admit that what the emperor said was very reasonable.

The emperor is the emperor immediately, and his favorite thing is to fight on the battlefield.

When he encounters the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, he will definitely not miss it.
