Chapter 142 Human life is as big as the sky
Although he didn't know what the fourth prince Ji Huan meant, Li Xin didn't offend him, he politely bid farewell to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and came to the palace of the King of Wei.
Because he had been informed in advance, the seventh prince Ji Wen had been waiting for Li Xin in the mansion. After seeing Li Xin, the prince pulled Li Xin's sleeve while smiling and said, "Brother Xin, why are you now? just came?"
Li Xin saw that there was no one left or right, and said softly, "The two troublesome women in Nanshu in the morning were sent out of the capital."
The seventh prince's expression became solemn: "The informant from Nanshu is here?"
"coming."
Li Xin said softly, "I'm going to take him with me and give him the identity of Yulinwei in a few days."
Ji Wen frowned: "There is no problem with bringing him around, but let him enter Yulinwei. If his identity is exposed in the future, the court will investigate, and you, the introducer, will be affected."
"Your Highness, I have thought about this."
Li Xin opened his mouth and said: "Everyone of these survivors in Nanshu has a serious identity. As long as they don't rebel, their identity will not be exposed. I take him by my side, he has no chance to rebel, and in the future it will be considered Southern Border. When something went wrong, he went back to the southern border and rebelled, and it has nothing to do with us."
In this era, there is no instant communication like the future generations, and there is no network extending in all directions. After a person changes his name and surname to another place, as long as he lives a little more, there are basically two people, and the court generally cannot pursue it.
His Royal Highness King Wei frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Brother Xin is thoughtful, I can do things with confidence, and I will leave everything about Nanshu to Brother Xin in the future, I don't need to ask. ."
His words seem to be a generous delegating power, but in fact, he does not want to be involved in this matter, because his identity as a prince is really inconvenient to have any contact with those remnants of Nanshu.
This point, Li Xin can still understand.
After all, there is nothing you can do if you don’t understand.
Exactly, the seventh prince didn't ask about this matter, he could let go of his hands and feet when he was doing things, and he wouldn't be tied down.
The two talked about Nan Shu for a while, Li Xin coughed and said, "Your Highness, have you done the wine making?"
Ji Wen nodded: "It was done two months ago. It's just that you were in the southern border at the time, so you left it in the backyard and didn't move. I'll show you."
The principle of distilled wine is very simple, because the boiling point of alcohol is only more than 70 degrees. With this difference in boiling point, the alcohol and the aroma in the wine can be distilled.
The principle of is simple, and the equipment is not too complicated. In theory, only one heating device, a sealed pipeline, and a condensing device are needed to complete the process.
As for the raw materials, there is no need to buy them. Prince Wei's mansion itself has a lot of fine wines hidden in it. Usually for social use, His Royal Highness Wei is not a good wine person, so he moved all the wines in the wine cellar all at once. came out.
Li Xin arrived at the Wei Wangfu at noon. He was busy all afternoon, and it was around the time of Shenshi when the first drop of distilled wine finally dripped from the pottery pot used for condensation.
The only drawback of is that the pipes made of bamboo pipes must have joints, and the sealing performance is not particularly good, so the conversion efficiency is not very high, and about ten pounds of wine can only be steamed to about two pounds.
Li Xin had already anticipated this situation, so there was nothing to be surprised about. It was the first time that King Wei had seen this kind of physical phenomenon, and he stared intently at the porcelain bowl under the condensation tank.
After a stick of incense, the wine in the bowl has more than half of it.
The wine in the Prince Wei's Mansion itself is the top quality wine of this era. After such purification, the wine is full of fragrance. Even the seventh prince, who is not good at wine, swallowed his saliva.
Li Xin stretched out his hand and brought the bowl of Chengjiu over, then changed to another clay pot and then poured a small glass from the wine bowl and handed it to the Seventh Prince.
"Your Highness, have a taste?"
In everything, the leader must come first. This is an eternal rule. Although the Seventh Prince is very polite to Li Xin, Li Xin is very clear that in a short period of time in the future, His Royal Highness King Wei will be himself. 's leadership.
Ji Wen nodded, reached out to take the wine glass, raised his head and drank it.
A spicy aroma hits the throat.
The seventh prince coughed violently and complained incessantly.
This kind of distilled spirit is at least about 70 degrees, and usually needs to be blended again. Ji Wen is used to drinking ordinary low-alcohol liquor.
After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down and said with emotion, "What a strong wine!"
Li Xin also poured himself a cup and took a sip.
About 70 degrees.
Because of the rudimentary equipment, it is difficult to produce high-purity wine. It is already very remarkable that it can have 70 degrees.
Li Xin turned his head and glanced at the seven princes whose face was already a little red, and said with a soft smile, "Your Highness, how is this wine?"
Although Ji Wen drank a little wine, but his mind was still clear, he shook his head gently: "This wine is too strong, I am afraid that people today will not be used to drinking it for a while."
Li Xin had already made up his mind, and said softly, "This wine is a little strong, but it's just fine to blend it a little more. Don't worry, Your Highness, since this thing is made, I have a way to sell it."
Li Xin squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "According to the old gentleman who taught the Fa, this steamed spirit is used to clean wounds and prevent external evils from entering the body!"
The so-called foreign evil entering the body is actually wound infection. In this era, there is no effective disinfection method. Therefore, in ancient times, many people fought with others and went home and lay down for a few months and died.
Most of them died from wound infection, tetanus.
With high alcohol, this problem is solved very well.
Ji Wen's eyes lit up: "Is what Brother Xin said true?"
"Exactly."
Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Highness can send some to the army to try it out. After it works, you can ask the Ministry of War to purchase this kind of spirits on a large scale. As for private sales, leave it to me."
The Ministry of War is responsible for the promotion and transfer of generals and the distribution of military equipment. Things like spirits should also be counted as military supplies.
As for private sales, it is even simpler. Li Xin has done this in his last life. For him, with such a rare product, it is easier to sell it at a high price.
His Royal Highness King Wei was excited at first, and finally frowned: "But the Ministry of War is in the hands of the fourth brother, so I'm afraid he will not have a good time."
Li Xin just remembered that the fourth prince, Ji Huan, who stopped him in the daytime, also has the position of Minister of War!
Lieutenant Colonel Li squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "Your Highness, as long as this thing can save people, no one can stop it from entering the army."
"Life is as big as the sky!"
