At noon, Li Qin sent off the fourth table of guests and placed a wooden sign engraved with today's full on the bow of the ship.
Since he had nothing to do, Li Qin took out half of the 'Green Bag Book' and started reading it seriously.
This was in the Tang Dynasty. Although the medical standards seemed good, it was far from enough in Li Qin's eyes.
The Green Bag Book recorded Hua Tuo's lifelong medical knowledge. Putting everything else aside, his life was more important.
Thus, Li Qin threw himself into the vast ocean with a thirst for knowledge.
Half an incense's time passed.
A certain someone suddenly woke up." F * ck! I hate studying! I just want to be a useless salted fish!”
Ding! The salted fish system has been activated.
At the same time, the system in his mind seemed to have finally woken up and was activated again.
Ding! Detected that the host meets the requirements of the system.
[Special reward: Half a book of the Green Bag Book. Attribute Points: at 5
？？？
He listened to the system voice.
Li Qin was a little stunned.
It was extremely compatible with the salted fish system. What did he mean?
Disdain me?
Knowing that I don't like reading, he even specially rewarded me with an obscure and difficult to understand 'Green Bag Book'.
"Are you messing with me?" Li Qin was indignant.
Boy, rat tail juice
I'm a system that has been professionally trained. I won't mess with people casually.
Unless he couldn't help it?
He couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him, so Li Qin directly added all his attribute points to Intelligence.
He suddenly felt his mind clear. The originally obscure and difficult to understand words on the "Green Bag Book" were now as simple as one plus one equals two.
In the next book," Tang Chronicles ", there was a saying: Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Understand history and find business opportunities.
Wasn't money easy to get?
In less than four hours, all four books were imprinted in his mind.
The feeling of being a genius was indeed different.
When this knowledge entered his mind, it was as if it was his own.
After a long time, Li Qin exhaled.
Now that he was guarding the wine shop, if he wanted to survive in the Great Tang, he had to earn money.
Then he bought an official position.
After becoming an official, his status would also increase.
People did not strive for fame, especially Li Qin, who had transmigrated back from the modern world. He was even more unwilling to be mediocre.
Money!
Next, there was an unprecedented investment opportunity.
Li Qin wasn't a saint, but just as he said, he had a conscience, so he wouldn't profit from the national disaster this time.
Then he could only start from brewing wine. This was his old profession. With Heavenly Craftsmanship, what kind of wine could he not make?
The Dream Entangling Brew and the Clear Cold Wine were both distilled spirits. They were spicy and strong, but there was not much difference in taste.
What Li Qin wanted to do now was to introduce another wine with a different taste.
Bamboo Leaf Green Dew Wine.
The Dream Entangling Brew and the Cold Clear Wine were targeted at the low-end market and were sold at low profit.
The Bamboo Leaf Green Dew Wine was targeted at the high-end market.
In modern times, wine was not only used for drinking, but also a symbol of status.
The same logic applied to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Qin listed out the ingredients needed for the Bamboo Leaf Dew Wine and pulled open the boat curtain.
Hmm?
A snowflake fell quietly on his face.
It started snowing again.
Taiji Palace, Yin Yang Hall.
As a secret meeting hall, only Li Shi Min's trusted aides could come here.
Snow was coming, which meant that the cold would last for a long time.
Yuan Tiangang reported the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor's speculation truthfully.
Du Ruhui's expression was solemn." Young Master Li was right.”
Yuan Tiangang was dumbfounded. What Young Master Li? My surname is Yuan.
Although his son had predicted the weather, Li Shiming was not happy.
The city was blanketed in snow, famine was everywhere, and there were more than two million people. How would the food in the national treasury deal with them?
He summoned his trusted aide into the palace to discuss this matter.
Li Shi Min went straight to the point." You all heard what I said just now. The imperial court is short of money now. You are all my subordinates. Do you have any solutions?"”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The ministers were in an uproar.
After a moment, Zhang Gongjin stood up and bowed slightly.""Your Majesty, the imperial court collects taxes four times a year, once every three months. This subject believes that this year's situation is special.”
Li Shi Min glanced at him but didn't say anything. After all, he was still a military officer.
It was not a good idea, but it was good to have this intention.
At this moment, Du Ruhui could not bear to listen any longer and could not help but refute,"What's the difference between this law and increasing taxes? Such a method would definitely arouse the resentment of the people and shake the hearts of the people. It must not be done.”
Fang Xuanling sighed." Right now, the only way is to purchase grain. Not to mention whether the treasury has enough money to purchase grain, if the Imperial Court purchases a large amount of grain, I'm sure those big grain merchants will notice.”
"The price of grain will definitely rise. In this way, not only will it be difficult for the imperial court to purchase grain, but the common people will also have difficulty purchasing grain.”
"This is still acceptable, but if the price of grain continues to rise, and those large grain households wait for the right price to sell, the imperial court can afford to delay, but the commoners can't!”
Actually, Fang Xuanling's words were hidden.
Who else could be the biggest food seller in Chang 'an?
Seven sects and five surnames.
If they were really waiting for the right price.
If the other party refused to give in, it meant that there was no food. What could you do?
Forcibly?
The so-called century-old imperial court and thousand-year-old aristocratic family.
Would the Imperial Court dare to make a move?
It was something that he knew very well.
Li Shi Min's face darkened. He had wanted to deal with the Seven Sects and Five Families for a long time, but he was helpless.
There were no Frigid Families in the upper class, and no aristocratic families in the lower class.
These two simple sentences were enough to summarize the current situation of the Great Tang Imperial Court.
The discussion in the Yin and Yang Palace was still going on.
···
Chang 'an Urban area, West City.
Li Qin purchased the sorghums and soybeans needed for the Bamboo Leaf Green Dew Wine.
Soy beans had just become popular in the Tang Dynasty, so the price was not cheap.
However, in order to take the high-end route, Li Qin gritted his teeth and bought some.
When he passed by the spice shop, Li Qin pondered for a moment.
In modern times, there was a way to add flower petals to the wine. Chang 'an culture was free, and there were many women drinking.
The wine in Du Wine House tasted strong and was not suitable. It was better to get some low-alcohol wine for the female market. Moreover, the women in the families of those dignitaries were all willing to spend money.
This method was feasible.
What was the saying?
Who was the easiest person to earn money from?
After entering the shop, a small head suddenly popped out from behind the counter.
It was a little girl in her prime. Her round little face was adorned with a pair of bright and clear big eyes. She stared curiously at Li Qin and sized him up.
In modern terms, she was a cute loli.
Seeing that Li Qin was a little stunned, the little girl burst into laughter. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, as if her spirituality was overflowing.
This young master was so good-looking, why did he look like a fool?
The young woman walked out from behind the counter." Langjun, what do you want to buy?”
Li Qin coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment and immediately asked for a batch of naturally dried laurel petals.
A palm-sized pile of laurel petals actually cost twenty yuan.
One had to know that in the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice only cost five coins.
Indeed, women's money was the easiest to earn.
This strengthened Li Qin's determination to brew the wine. He had even thought of a name.
It was called Thousand Gold Drunk.
"Langjun, are these spices for your wife?”
"You are the first man to come to our Hundred Fragrance Square to buy spices.”
"Your Wifey is really blessed."
Before Li Qin could speak, the little girl started chattering non-stop.
Li Qin was a little troubled and interrupted,"I don't have a wife. I bought the laurel petals for my own use."”
The little girl covered her mouth in shock. The man was buying spices.
Could it be that he had someone he liked that he wanted to use?
"Little Langjun, why did you buy laurel petals?”
"You're so handsome that people like you even without spices.”
Li Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this little girl." No, I bought this osmanthus to make wine.”
"Ah?" The little girl was too lively.
"This osmanthus can be made into wine?"
Li Qin nodded." That's right. You'll be able to taste it soon.”
The little girl pouted and her big eyes flickered." I don't drink. It's too spicy."”
Li Qin smiled and left with the bag of flower petals.
The little girl suddenly ran out with Luo Qun.
"Young master, young master, remember to send a bottle of wine over when you're done brewing.”
However, Li Qin had long disappeared into the crowd.
