Li Mu and Li Ji chatted all morning, and even ate breakfast separately from the others. Li Ji's personal guards were guarding the door, and no one else could get close. No one knew what the two men had talked about until Li Bi came to the door.
After all the application items were prepared, Li Mu came out of Li Ji's room after letting his personal guards come in to inquire.
In fact, Li Mu didn't talk about anything confidential, but he had a plan that he wanted to implement, and he told Li Ji to listen to it and wanted to get some opinions. Li Ji was always cautious, so he asked his personal guards to guard the door to prevent others from approaching.
Li Mu and Li Bi rode horses together, taking Bai Nao'er and Qian Dahai with them, and rushed to Bashang Winery. Bai Nao'er's wife Wang also came home by the way. Li Chongyi wanted to follow, but Li Mu stopped him.
, asked Wang Hu to train him and the ten young men to look after the home and the courtyard. It is not enough to have strength alone. You must also order and prohibit, just like an army to be effective.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Mu of Qin dominated Xirong, changed the Zi River to Ba River, and built a bridge called Ba Bridge. This place is very close to Chang'an City, just a mile or two away from Qixia Gate. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in
There is a post station in Baqiao. People in Chang'an City often break up here when they say goodbye to their relatives and friends before heading east. Therefore, it is known as "the farewell is sad every year, and the wind and snow in Baqiao". The south bank of Ba River is a good place. Li Mu's Seven
Ten hectares of land are all here.
This was the first time for Li Mu to come to his own land. In his previous life, he had never been to the countryside a few times, so he had a vague concept of "qing". Only when he saw it today did he realize how big it was. Standing on the hills, he looked around.
, everything he looked at belonged to him, and he really felt like a nouveau riche. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, if in his previous life he could have such a large piece of land on the edge of the capital, he would not have to do anything in his life and eat all kinds of things.
There is no end to the flowers.
On the way, Li Bi also talked to Li Mu about the land. Land granted by nobility like this can be extended to future generations. It is also the so-called "Yongye Field" and can be inherited by the eldest son of the family. Li Mu's large area
The land was originally the property of the royal family, and crops had been planted on it. Now it was given to Li Mu, but the grain harvested in the autumn does not belong to him. It will be his until next year when he grows the land himself.
Li Mu didn't mind this very much, because he had no intention of using this land for farming. Along the way, he became interested in the farming methods of the Tang Dynasty. His list of carpentry skills included various plows.
Drawings, and the list of forging skills also included drawings of various iron farm tools. He planned to study it to see how it was different from what people in the Tang Dynasty actually used. If it was better than what people in the Tang Dynasty used now, he would make the things and have an impact on the entire
The agricultural development of the Tang Dynasty will be a huge benefit.
After climbing over a small hill, the view suddenly opened up. This is a plain larger than Li Mu's field. In the middle of the plain, a sudden bald patch was found. The crops were harvested early and a group of houses were built. High walls were built around it.
It was not completed yet, but bricklayers could still be seen working. This high wall was not in the drawings drawn by Li Mu. Li Bi explained that this was to prevent leaks and just in case, if someone really took the risk and wanted to rob it,
With this high wall blocking it, at least we can buy time to destroy the brewing equipment and prevent it from being robbed.
Although Li Mu thought it was more than that, it was always right to be careful. When the group arrived at the winery, there was already a person waiting at the door. Everyone dismounted, and Li Bi introduced Li Mu and Bai Naoer, saying: "This is Huang
Shopkeeper Qihuang has worked for my Li family for many years and is very experienced in business." After that, he introduced Li Mu and Bai Naoer to Shopkeeper Huang and said: "This is Zhuluhou, and the method of brewing wine is his invention.
Next to me is the father-in-law of Zhulu Hou, shopkeeper Bai Chunbai. He has been running a wine shop for many years. He knows more about wine than you do. I will ask for more advice in the future."
Huang Qi saluted and said: "I paid my respects to Marquis Zhulu and met Shopkeeper Bai. Shopkeeper Bai, from now on we will be partners and we need to help each other more."
Bai Nao'er was still a little cautious, but he did not lose his etiquette. After seeing the courtesy, he exchanged a few words. Shopkeeper Huang led everyone in. He first asked people to unload the grain brought by Li Bi, and then led Li Mu and others to check.
The completion status of the winery.
Li Mu read it from beginning to end. To his surprise, the winery was built better than he imagined. This winery was built by enlarging the distillation equipment he was currently using at a ratio of ten to one. At the same time, Li Mu
The concept of the assembly line was also introduced to separate the entire brewing process one by one, so that workers in each link can only do their own work. In this way, even if one or two domestic slaves escape, all the secrets of the distillation equipment will not be revealed.
leaked out.
He had already mentioned this idea to Li Bi, so when the winery was being built, every link was a separate house. There was a high wall between the two houses, and only an iron gate connected each other. The iron gate
Only Li Bi has the key. Without his permission, workers in one link will never be able to see what another link looks like. And after work, these workers cannot contact each other, and even if they are in contact, they will not be able to contact each other.
I can't recognize it. Li Mu is very relieved about this. Li Bi is as cautious as Li Ji. He always puts safety first in everything, and the possibility of mistakes is unlikely.
After checking around, no problems were found. Li Mu then directed the craftsmen brought by Li Bi to bring over iron parts such as condenser tubes, as well as various woodworking parts, and began to build a brewing assembly line. The parts were all ready-made and assembled.
It was very simple to build. I worked on it for three hours, and just after noon, the assembly line was completed.
Li Mu had already tried it with Bai Gensheng that day. It was not necessary for him to make wine, and others could also complete it under his guidance. But today, Li Mu was still a little unsure about the assembly line operation. So he personally demonstrated it from the very beginning when the distiller's yeast was put in.
Show it to the workers. If there is anything they don’t understand, he will answer it patiently. The brewing workers selected by Li Bi are all young and strong from among the domestic slaves. They are young and have a relatively strong ability to accept new things.
.No one is particularly stupid. Li Mu explained it once or twice and he almost understood it.
Finally at dusk, the steamer was lit and the first brewing trial started.
This set of distillation equipment is manufactured at a ratio of one to ten. Li Mu could originally brew ten jars of wine at a time, and this winery can theoretically brew a hundred jars of wine. The definition of a jar of wine in the system is 1000ml.
, the weight is about two kilograms. It can be brewed twice a day, which means that the current daily output of this winery is only 200 jars and 400 kilograms of wine.
This output is not very high. But it is just the beginning. If you have the first production line, you can have the second one. Moreover, high-quality wine is unique now, and the price cannot be lower. From the time when the idea of making wine came up, Li Mu had no plans
He wants to make money from the poor. He has to find a way to turn his wine into a luxury product that only nobles and nobles can afford!
