Favorite peasant concubine

Chapter 251

Although the Dali Kingdom does not need to pay tribute to Chu Yue and Haoyi, the treasury of Dali is not very sufficient. In addition, the construction of the Lijiang Bridge and the cement road cost a lot of money.Now it is a bookstore, a school and a dormitory, and the national treasury is a little tight all of a sudden.

But as Jun Yi said, no matter where it is, it is very troublesome for people from the towns to enter the city. It is much easier and does not take too much time for the people in the towns, but it is much more troublesome for the people in the countryside. , Some places even take two days to go back and forth.

And since they can give poor students a chance to go to school, they can't create another problem for the students to go to school. Therefore, it is actually necessary to build dormitories.

Seeing Emperor Chongshun's frown, Jun Yi thought about it and guessed what he was worrying about, so Jun Yi is so smart, it's no wonder that Emperor Chongshun and him are the best, " Brother Huang is worried about the silver issue?"

Emperor Chongshun nodded with a serious expression. The tightness of the treasury is also a big problem. "If there were no Chu Yue and Hao Yi's eyeing eyes, there would be no need to worry about the treasury. It would be enough to replenish the treasury in the future. However, Chu Yue and Hao Yi's current attitude is very ambiguous. Last year's plan to get married fell through, but they basically There is no action on the Internet, which is very suspicious, but in the past two months, the border has sent back news that Chu Yue and Haoyi will occasionally come to spy on it. It is not a big move, but it has to be guarded against. , I am ready to let Jinghe go to guard for a while."

Emperor Chongshun put his hands on the corners of his brows. Chu Yue and Haoyi were too annoying, and the person who made him emperor was even more annoying. Originally, he could be free and not have to sit here and worry about these problems.

Think about how carefree he would be now if he hadn't been the emperor.He hates it.

No need to think about it, Jun Yi also knew what Emperor Chongshun was thinking now, whenever he showed such a bitter and bitter expression, he was lamenting his bitter experience.

Jun Yi calmly pretended not to see it. "Don't worry about this. It's a good thing that benefits the country and the people. All the officials in the court should contribute. As for the local officials, they will naturally not be left behind. The gentry and local tyrants don't need me to tell you how to do it."

Emperor Chongshun's eyes lit up, that's right, he didn't explain that he must use the money from the treasury to run the school, hmph, those useless things that usually come in handy now, how can he exploit them What about 5 taels per person or 10 taels?Well, this is something to think about.

So all the officials who had just returned home from the imperial court all shivered unanimously. It is not very cold this day, so why do they feel their backs are chilling.

The smile on Emperor Chongshun's face was getting bigger and bigger, and Hu Dong couldn't bear to look directly at him, His Majesty, can you smile so wickedly, the wicked ones are a bit obscene.

"Everyone use scissors to cut off the bunches of grapes and put them in the frame. When the workers come to collect the grapes, they will weigh them by the way, and then record them in the book that was sent to you just now. The wages are settled according to the records in the notebook. For everyone's peace of mind, the notebook can be taken back by you, but please don't take chances and say that you will do something wrong with the notebook. The pens we use for recording are special pens, which cannot be faked. Yes. Okay, let’s start the work.” After Li Xiang stood on the wooden pier and explained the process, he let everyone start the work.

Those who came to harvest grapes were all women from nearby villages. Although the farm work at home was not finished, there were people in the family. They came here when they heard that Jinxiu Village was recruiting workers, in order to earn more silver to subsidize the family.

Most of the workers in the winery are recruited by Junyi, and they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are single. I don’t know where Junyi recruited so many bachelors, but it’s easy to arrange dormitories , they can be arranged to live in a dormitory, and the kitchen can also be used as another room.

Li Li'er drew a blueprint of a modern iron bed, and handed it over to Jiang Zi to make it. Jun Yi will definitely be interested in getting on and off the bed.

After the grapes are sent to the winery, there will be some other ladies who will clean the grapes and remove the fruit, pick out some unusable grapes such as green, moldy, and broken, and then put the grapes into a special wine tank , the workers then mash the grapes with wooden stakes.

The next step is to seal the wine tank, let the grapes ferment, and then add sugar at a ratio of ten to one. For the first time, half of the sugar is added 24 hours after the grapes are loaded, and it may be three or four days later. Add the rest as it ferments.

After reaching the stop fermentation point, the color of the grape skins floating on top becomes lighter, and the residue of grape seeds and pulp sinks to the bottom of the bottle, and the residue will be awakened and separated at night.There is a water outlet at the bottom of the wine tank at a certain distance from the ground, and there is a gauze in the water outlet, so that there is no need to worry about the wine dregs flowing out together.After the wine liquid flows out, put the wine residue into the gauze and squeeze it to basically drain the remaining wine liquid in the wine residue. The wine liquid at this time is called Yuanjiu.

Yuanjiu is a bit turbid, so it needs to carry out secondary fermentation. Basically, the secondary fermentation can be completed in about 3 weeks, and the liquor will become clear, and there will be a layer of sediment at the bottom. Those are the corpses of yeast. It is to make these things into yeast paste.

At this time, it is enough to purify the wine by filtering and put it in a barrel for storage in the wine cellar.

The whole process takes about a month. Although grapes and white wine are basically the same, the older they are, the more mellow and flavorful they are, but Li Li'er doesn't have that much time to spend, so the wine will definitely be on the market as soon as it comes out.

But she won't just sell all of them like this, and she will leave some preservation experience to accumulate, and the price will naturally rise when the time comes.

And when you think of red wine, you will think of Western food. Unfortunately, it was illegal to kill cattle in ancient times, so you can't make steaks, but pork chops are okay.

It is said that she still wants to open a fast food restaurant, it seems that her pace is going to be faster.
