Chapter 252 Take over the Big Distillery

There was a filter can in front of me, filled with charcoal. It was strange that the dark charcoal could filter out clear wine.

It turned out that this winery was newly built, because the dried sweet potatoes were about to come down, and soon more raw materials would be transported in soon. The output would increase by more than ten times, so Lu Su was transferred to manage it.

Lu Su is a talented person, and when a new official takes office, he will naturally not be bored to focus on discipline, dress, and attendance. The first thing to focus on is output, quality, and production safety.

Lu Su told several supervisors that he was leading more than 10,000 troops and might be transferred in a few years so that everyone could perform well.

The implication is very clear. I will be transferred in a few years. Then the leader will be you.

Tacitly understood, just work hard.

However, the pressure from several supervisors and brewing masters is still high. No one has the experience of large-scale wine making. The most feared thing is that one batch of wine produced is good or one batch of wine, and each batch has a different taste, which is more troublesome.

Fortunately, Lu Bu's requirements were not too high, and these high-level spirits were sold to the grasslands and to the Wuhuan and Xianbei people.

"This wine tastes very good. Why doesn't the lord let it be sold in Xuzhou?" Lu Su was a little puzzled.

The master of winemaking said: "We people in Xuzhou are used to drinking ordinary wine. Three or five pounds are fine. If you change to strong liquor, three or five pounds may be killed. Although the wine is good, you can fight and cause trouble when you get drunk. If you lie on the street at night, your life may be gone, so Xuzhou is not allowed to sell strong liquor. The local wine sold is ordinary wine, not so strong."

Lu Su felt that if Lu Bu was cheating the Wuhuan people, he should know that the wine was brewed by grain. The food cost, labor cost, transportation cost, and the vendor's bonus were sold so cheaply when transported to Youzhou. I always feel something was wrong.

Lu Su learned a lot today. The winery is actually quite worry-free. The raw materials treasury allocates sorghum, dried sweet potatoes, barley, and bran. The sales caravan is responsible for the sales. Only low-alcohol wineries can sell some of them on their own. In addition, they transport each army to reward the wine for the three armies. Ordinary wines are low-alcohol wines. Only the suicide squads are qualified to drink high-alcohol spirits before going to war, commonly known as bowl-slide wine.

Breaking a bowl means breaking your life and stop eating. If you don’t eat anymore, you will become more courageous after drinking a large bowl of wine.

Lu Su calculated that three pounds of grain produce one pound of wine. In the current six months, the task given is one million pounds of wine. This amount is a lot, and it requires a lot of effort.

Lu Su smiled and said, "My lord is going to drink the Wuhuan people to death. The wine is so cheap. He also told them that the one who can drink strong wine is a real man. It is a good business to exchange wine for horses."

What needs to be paid attention to is food, firewood, wine jars, and coordinate whatever is insufficient. Lu Su adjusted the production share of spirits and expanded the share of low-alcohol wine. In his words, it was to let the Wuhuan people drink from low-alcohol. Then they began to drink the strongest wine, ride the strongest horse, and find the most beautiful woman.

The master of winemaking suggested that the variety could be increased one after another, fruits and fruits could be added to the grain, and fruit wine could be made, etc. Fruit wine could be sold to all parts of the princes.

This winery is actually quite worry-free. The role of his leader is to communicate. It doesn’t take much time every day. Lu Su will take a look every day and then go to train troops.

After all, training is the most important thing, and being responsible for the winery is only the second priority.

Lu Su went to find Lu Bu after leaving the winery. Lu Su was straightforward and couldn't hide his words.

"Lord, I went to the winery today, it's very good, but I'm a little worried."

"Zijing, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that there is not enough food to eat, and now people are starving to death outside. It seems a bit inappropriate for us to make wine on a large scale. After all, the princes are not allowed to make wine."

"Oh, don't worry. The raw material for our winemaking is called dried sweet potatoes, also known as dried sweet potatoes, which are the things that are dried after the sweet potatoes are sliced ​​and dried. Dried sweet potatoes can produce more than 3,000 kilograms per acre. You can calculate how much land of dried sweet potatoes we use to make wine. Not to mention that the amount of potatoes, corn and pumpkin is also high-yield, so you don't have to worry about food. The lees of wine will not be wasted, and they are used to raise fish and pigs."

"It turns out that sweet potatoes are so productive, no wonder the lord is vigorously developing winemaking."

"Yes, the government is controlling winemaking now, and it is also considering the issue of grain. Only small workshops in the folk brew traditional wine, and the scale is very small. The food problem is the top priority. We have achieved the first step of eating full. We are developing the second step to eat well. Pigs, sheep, poultry, and fish are the focus of our breeding. This year, Weishan Lake has been very successful in breeding. The mixed production of silver carp, carp, grass carp, and crucian carp is very high. The price of silver carp is very low now, and live fish is only 20% per kilogram."

"Lord, Da Cai, it turned out that it had been arranged long ago. Our Xuzhou is much more advanced than other princes." Lu Su couldn't help but sigh.

"After the autumn grain collection, I will appoint you as a special envoy to inspect the charity warehouses in various places. Whoever does not do it properly must make rectifications."

"Thank you for your credit."

Lu Su was very happy and worried that it was unnecessary. But he was relieved.

The whole of Xuzhou was peaceful and peaceful, and the people could not feel anything strange, but there was another scene in the army, equipped with supplies, military uniforms and shoes, and those who should be distributed should be distributed should be replaced, and those who should be replaced should be replaced.

The food has improved and you can basically eat fish or meat once every two days.

But the training was strengthened and all vacations were stopped. The veterans understood that this was a state of combat readiness. Of course, these soldiers were confused. They didn't know who to fight or how to fight.

Besides, Cao Ping escorted 200 mule carts to Guangling. Although it was the beginning of autumn, the climate was still very hot.

Needless to say, he worked hard along the way, but after more than a year of training, Cao Ping has also matured a lot. His father was killed by Zhang Fei because the army was not good at training. Cao Ping was unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. In addition to hard training every day, he worked hard to train troops.

This time, I led a thousand infantrymen and asked to march for 80 miles a day. However, the problem was not big. The post station prepared supplies, and there was no need to prepare firewood, water, etc. wherever I went.

After walking south for more than ten days, I finally arrived in Guangling.

Cao Ping sat upright on the horse, looked up and was very surprised.

"I remember when I came last time there were barren mountains and wilderness everywhere, but now I came here with rice fields everywhere, which is really good."
