Chapter 229: Really Taking the Imperial Palace as My Home
Listen to Fu'an's words.
Li Zhanying and Zhao Fusheng understood each other instantly, bowed hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Chief Manager, for your guidance, and thank you, Prince Consort, for your promotion."
Only then did they understand the purpose of Qin Yu's visit today.
It seems that instead of inspecting the tea workshop, there must be other things.
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "No need to be polite."
Fu'an looked at Qin Yu and bowed slightly, "Prince-in-law, if there is nothing else, I will resign."
Qin Yu thought for a moment and took out a bag of golden beans from his arms, "It's such a cold day, why don't you guys take a trip and go back and drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Fu'an was startled and hurriedly excused himself: "Prince-in-law, this... this is impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Tsk~"
Qin Yu stuffed the golden beans into his hand, "It's not just for you, it's for everyone. Stop being so nagging and go back quickly."
"this......"
Fu'an had no choice but to bow and salute, "Then the old slave will take the boys to thank the prince-in-law."
Qin Yu waved his hand, "You're welcome."
Fu'an chuckled and said, "Okay, I will retire."
Then Fu'an led everyone to leave.
Qin Yu's impression of Fu'an was pretty good, and Fu'an was able to withstand troubles on weekdays.
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Yu looked at Li Zhanying and Zhao Fusheng again, "That's right. I plan to build another brewing workshop next to the tea workshop. It also requires confidentiality and security."
"You two have been in charge of the tea workshop for such a long time. You probably all know the process and have experience, so His Majesty has promoted you to be in charge of the brewing workshop."
After hearing this, Li Zhanying and Zhao Fusheng suddenly realized.
They said that if the consort had only inspected the tea workshop, he would not have made such a big fuss.
"Yes, Prince Consort."
Li Zhanying and Zhao Fusheng responded quickly.
Qin Yu nodded again, then looked at Li Zhanying, "Manager Li, you can choose the people. As for how to build the brewery, the Japanese master will send someone to come tomorrow. The confidentiality is very important."
"Money is not an issue, everyone will only make a lot more money in the future."
Li Zhanying said: "I accept my order."
Qin Yu looked at Zhao Fusheng again, "General Zhao, the safety of the brewery is also very important. The entry and exit of personnel must be controlled well, and no information can be leaked."
Zhao Fusheng saluted and responded, "The last general takes command!"
It’s relatively easy to recruit people in a brewery.
The salary of the tea workshop is already high enough. Not to mention the people of Yeting Palace, even the maids and eunuchs in the palace are very envious.
The main reason is that Qin Yu is really generous, sometimes the reward money can equal their salary for a year.
On weekdays, people who ask someone to find Li Zhanying and want to enter the tea workshop have to queue up.
However, Li Zhanying still has principles.
Qin Yu treated him well, and he made a lot of money from Qin Yu, so he worked meticulously and handled business affairs in a fair manner.
Afterwards, Qin Yu visited the tea workshop and left with Shen Binglan.
Now I just wait and wait to go to Qi State to attend a cocktail party next year.
The beautiful mountains and clear waters of Qi State are particularly nurturing, and it is a good place for beauties.
Qin Yu still yearns for it very much.
Shen Binglan really convinced Qin Yu.
In other cases, the emperor plundered the people, but it was a good thing for Qin Yu that he directly plundered the emperor.
This winery has been built into the palace, and the palace is really regarded as one’s own home.
...
The next day.
early morning.
Zhang Zhixin sent five winemakers into the palace.
He was really impressed by Qin Yu and fell into admiration.
This brewery actually opened directly into the palace.
Zhang Zhixin estimates that no place is safer than the palace.
And there is no need to worry about any messy things, he will just send people in to transport them.
He could also see that the emperor's father-in-law really loved his son-in-law.
This wine is not available for sale at the moment. It will not be sold to the outside world until next year after participating in the Qi National Wine Party.
But by that time, the reputation of burning knives will definitely spread throughout the world.
Tea, official salt, spirits...
Zhang Zhixin feels that the future of Zhang's Trading Company is getting brighter and brighter.
at the same time.
East Palace.
Side hall.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan were listening to music.
The matters at the brewery have been taken care of.
Qin Yu is waiting for the New Year.
Xiao Nan drank wine and looked at Qin Yu, "Brother-in-law, I heard that a strange man came to the Ministry of War in the past few days and said that he could use gunpowder to create powerful weapons. Have you heard about it?"
Qin Yu couldn't help but his eyes brightened when he heard this, and he sat up straight, "Stop! Girls, you go down first. I have something to discuss with the prince."
"My slaves, please leave." All the dancers and musicians bowed and then left the hall.
Xiao Nan watched the girls leave helplessly, with a confused look on his face, "Hey! Don't leave!"
As he said that, he looked at Qin Yu with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother-in-law, what's going on!? I just came in, why did you let the girls leave?"
Shen Binglan also looked at Qin Yu in confusion.
This isn't like his style.
Qin Yu looked at Xiao Nan with a serious face, "What did you just say?"
Xiao Nan was stunned and hesitated: "I... I said how do you let the girl..."
"The previous sentence."
"Don't go..."
"One more sentence."
"Oh! Let me tell you, a strange man came to the Ministry of War in the past few days and said that he could use gunpowder to make weapons!"
Qin Yu frowned slightly as he listened.
Gunpowder makes weapons.
In this era, although firearms did not appear, simple gunpowder already existed. Although there were no fireworks, there were firecrackers.
During the Chinese New Year, every household will set off firecrackers, which is very lively.
Gunpowder was first invented accidentally by alchemists. Later it was discovered and someone made firecrackers, but they were not very powerful.
Firecrackers actually existed in the pre-Qin Dynasty, called "Explosion Sacrifice", which was an act of burning firewood to "worship gods and drive away evil spirits".
Later, some people put saltpeter into firecrackers and used the thick smoke to disperse the evil wind and miasma and prevent the plague.
Later, gunpowder was discovered, and "firecrackers" were made by stuffing gunpowder into bamboo.
Nowadays in the Wei Dynasty, firecrackers have become a must-have "New Year's good" during the New Year. The people make it a lively event, and there are also legends such as the New Year Beast.
But today's gunpowder is the most common gunpowder, and the proportions are also randomly adjusted, so its power is relatively small, and firearms have not yet appeared.
Nowadays, some people say that they can use gunpowder to make weapons. They must be firearms. This is a talent.
Nowadays, the development of the Wei Dynasty requires the construction of high walls and extensive accumulation of grain.
The development of firearms also takes a long time.
Even from now on, it will not be easy to produce firearms, and it will require a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
But once you start, you will be invincible as you develop from now on.
If Qin Feng's Guyang Pass is equipped with dozens of red cannons, how can he be afraid of Wu Luo?
Think of this.
Qin Yu looked at Xiao Nan with a serious face and said seriously: "Where is that person?"
