Chapter 103 Good Deals
No matter where you are, as long as you are a junior leader, your life will be much more comfortable. Li Xin is like this now. The school captain's camp in Princess Qinghe's mansion is his subordinate. He doesn't need to go to Yulinwei to report, or even He was in charge of all the points in the school captain's camp, so Li Xin didn't have to go to the Princess Mansion every day to report, but he would check it out when he remembered.
Of course, when the princess summoned her, Li Xin still had to go get her something to eat.
After all, in a sense, Li Xin and the school lieutenant under his command are not under the command of Yu Linwei for the time being, but under the direction of His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, and they cannot openly disobey Shangguan.
This morning, Li Xin finally drew a sketch of the distillation equipment.
Almost all of the high-alcohol liquors in later generations are distilled liquors that are first brewed and then distilled. Because of simple brewing, the highest alcohol concentration is a dozen degrees, and it cannot be higher.
And it is difficult to guarantee the clarity of the brewed wine.
Therefore, before the distillation technology came out, the ancients generally drank "maoju".
The so-called distillation is to use the different boiling points of alcohol and water to purify the brewed alcohol and aroma. This purification will not destroy the original taste of the brewed wine, but will only make it purer and stronger.
Although the sketches were drawn, things were not in a hurry. After Li Xin walked around the yard, he changed into his casual clothes. Shi Shiran walked out of his yard and walked towards the Wei Wangfu in Yonglefang. .
After Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, returned to Beijing to deny Li Xin's identity, Li Xin's "hotness" slowly cooled down in the capital. Until now, as long as he doesn't do anything major, no one will be bored. To send someone to follow him, plus this matter is very important, so he has to go to the Wei Wangfu in person.
When passing through the gate of the Wei Wangfu, Li Xincai saw that the door of the Wangfu was closed, and looked like a closed door thanking guests.
The last time he was a guest at the palace of Wei, the gate of the palace was still bustling, and many people lined up to give gifts to the prince. Now that he is so deserted, it is obviously because the prince of Wei listened to his advice and began to gather his tentacles. .
Li Xin hesitated for a while, instead of going in through the front door, he went around to the back door of Prince Wei's mansion. After passing the communication, he soon saw His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince in black in the backyard of Prince Wei's mansion.
The weather was getting warmer at this time. His Royal Highness Wei Wang led Li Xin to a pavilion and smiled at Li Xin: "It's rare that Brother Xin has come to my palace on his own initiative, what's the big deal?"
Since the two of them met, Li Xin had only been to Prince Wei's mansion once, and at other times, His Royal Highness the Prince 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 have come up with during this period of time, and there is no one around me to use. His Royal Highness asked people to make a few sets of samples according to this."
The Seventh Prince flipped through these pictures. The picture was a strange thing connected by bamboo pipes. His Royal Highness King Wei looked at it several times and still didn't know what it was, so he frowned: "This is it?"
Li Xin squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "Your Highness, this is a business. If this business is only done by His Highness's family, within three years, His Highness can earn at least a million dollars."
Having said this, Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the seventh prince, and said in a low voice, "If it works properly, it can even get 10% of the revenue of the imperial court."
The tax of Dajin for one year, converted into copper coins, is about 30 million guans, and 10% of the national treasury, that is, 3 million guans per year.
Of course, the premise of such a large profit is that it must be monopolized, and it must be monopolized by the use of state machinery. No private intervention is allowed. Otherwise, even if this income can be achieved in a short period of time, after three or five years, this recipe will inevitably spread. Profits will be greatly reduced.
His Royal Highness King Wei suddenly looked solemn.
His hands were shaking a little.
What is the concept of 10% of the national treasury revenue? This means that he can develop unscrupulous forces in secret. After all, there are not many places in this world where money can't get through.
After all, the imperial court is a big stall, and there are too many places up and down that need money, disaster relief, noise, official salaries, and a few large armies to support. In comparison, the Wei Wangfu is just a small stall. If there is such a large amount of money Income, Wei Wangfu will have unlimited potential in the future.
Ji Wen took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm down. He gave Li Xin a deep look.
"Believe... Brother Xin didn't talk nonsense?"
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness, the premise is to ensure that we will take over this business alone. If we share the profit with others, the profit will be greatly reduced, but as long as Your Highness keeps the secret well, at least within ten or eight years, Earning that much is not a problem.”
There are too many breweries in the world. The imperial court in the salt and iron industry can impose a ban on monopoly, but the brewing industry is not realistic. After all, the raw materials of this thing can be found everywhere, and it can be brewed in any small workshop, and the imperial court cannot specialize it. An edict stipulated that only the palace of Wei Wang could sell distilled alcohol.
The Seventh Prince looked at the sketch that Li Xin handed over again, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xin, what exactly is this?"
"The thing that makes wine."
Li Xin smiled and said: "This thing was passed to me a few years ago when an old Taoist passed by Yongzhou. The old Taoist said that the wine that came out of this thing, whether it is fineness, purity, or potency, is unusual. The wine is more than three or four times stronger."
Having said this, Li Xin lowered his head and said, "After the wine is out, His Royal Highness can put it in the proud building first, and the wine will be famous in the capital for a month at most."
"When the time comes, it's time for His Highness to earn money."
The Seventh Prince was a little disappointed when he heard the word "brewing", but after hearing what Li Xin said, he nodded slowly: "If this thing is really as magical as Brother Xin said, it is indeed a good fortune. trade."
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Whether it works or not, His Highness will know after a try."
Ji Wen nodded: "I'll go to the Ministry of Engineering in a moment, and send a few craftsmen back to the palace to get a set of finished products and try them out."
Having said this, the Prince of Wei sighed: "It's a pity, even if what Brother Xin said is true, the court will not allow me to exclusively specialize in the wine industry."
For this, Li Xin had an idea for a long time.
He has been in the marketing of high-end wines in his last life, and he is most familiar with this set. In a short period of time, he is the only family in the capital that has distilled wine. During this period of time, as long as a "famous brand" is created, it can be harvested on a large scale. The purses of the rich in the capital.
Li Xin smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness, agreed in advance that this transaction, whether it is successful or not, I will share it."
His Royal Highness King Wei smiled heartily.
"This matter was originally made by Brother Xin, so naturally half of it will be split with you."
Li Xin shook his head slightly: "I want two achievements is enough."
The interests involved in this matter are too great, so one must be cautious. If Li Xinzhen takes half of it, I am afraid that he will become a thorn in the eyes of the Wei Palace and a thorn in the flesh before long.
This is a measure that must be grasped.
A lot of people say that the plot of these days has been a little dull, but that's how writing a book is, there are ups and downs, and the climax plot is also a bland plot piled up little by little. I spent a lot of time writing this book, which is considered slow It's a hot novel, I hope everyone has a little patience, don't give up the book, and give the author a chance to tell a story, thank you (●—●)!
