The new foreman is exactly his former biggest competitor, Shen Wei.

Shen Wei has always opposed his rough management and insisted on distributing performance based on personal livelihoods.

But in the past, he had his brother-in-law to back him up for Yang Zhen, and he could allocate it according to his own wishes. Those who opposed him the most would get the most deductions.

Unexpectedly, no one expected that he would resign from his position as foreman.

Not only were his subordinates happy, Zhou Jiu was even happier.

Although he knew that the Yang acupuncture method was wrong, he didn't go too far, and since he was his brother-in-law, he couldn't go through with it in terms of face.

It would be best for him to resign on his own initiative now.

He observed for a long time and felt that Shen Wei was good.

Sure enough, Shen Wei is capable and responsible, and he doesn't push the envelope like Yang Zhen does when things happen.

The distribution is fair and reasonable, and has won the support of more than 20 employees under his command.

He also knows how to use the Yang needle to deal with all kinds of hidden tricks.

In response to Yang Zhen's sinister move, Shen Wei defeated him.

First he made a self-examination, and then took the initiative to take responsibility, saying that his management was not good enough and he should be severely punished.

After saying that, he took the initiative to deduct all performance for the month. At the same time, he took advantage of the situation and removed all the leaders of the several groups originally assigned by Yang Zhen, and replaced them with people who were recognized by everyone in this section as having moral character and hard work.

Although Shen Wei did it bravely, he was actually a little uneasy. After all, Zhou Jiu, the shopkeeper of Xian Tan, was Yang Zhen's brother-in-law.

The group leaders looked sad and asked Yang Zhen to find a way.

Yang Zhen had no choice but to find his brother-in-law Zhou Jiu.

His brother-in-law Zhou Jiu gave him a box of drunken spring breeze and asked him to drink tea.

This is said to be a relaxing tea. Drinking more of this tea can help you relax.

If there is no relief, he can give a few more boxes.

Only this time did Yang Zhen realize that his brother-in-law was just trying to reassure him and would never support him again.

Shen Wei and the workers in the ash pile section finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Zhou Jiu understood in his heart, but he couldn't say this to Yang Zhenming.

Because Zhao Jie recently received instructions from Zhao Ping to clean up those who were cheating and disloyal.

Something happened in Zhaojiazhuang this time. For those who jumped and shouted loudly, we just took this opportunity to clean up.

Of course there are male needles in this one.

As a member of the management of Zhaojiazhuang, he actually didn't trust Zhaojiazhuang and would rather exchange the delivery card for Huizi copper coins, even worse than businessmen like Zhang Jiayong.

Okay, since you don’t believe in Zhaojiazhuang.

Then why do you need to do it? Why don't you replace him with someone new and arrange Wang Wenfu to be an undercover agent and clean them up.

Terrified, Yang Zhen never dared to have second thoughts from now on, and cherished this livelihood very much.

The businessman only knew that the two green-robed officials were talking and laughing with Zhao Ping.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xuezheng was preparing to question Zhao Ping.

He regained his serious expression and looked at Qian Shao and the others.

Looking at Zhao Ping, he asked: "Why did we smell the strong smell of alcohol in Erlangtan today?"

Qian Shao and other literati also looked at him.

Notice, there is a shortage of food!

Changyuan County is short of food!

Now the whole Changzhou is short of food!

Tongnanfu Road is short of food!

You, Zhao Ping, actually use grain to make wine!

Do you have any morals?

Are you a scholar?

Are you not claiming to be studying for the rise of the Song Dynasty?

Aren't you poaching Da Song by doing this?

Are you a hypocrite?

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

What Zhao Ping was worried about finally came, and he still couldn't escape it.

This brewing thing was finally discovered.

Although it was discovered on the battlefield, the person who discovered it was Yuan Xuezheng, who was known for his seriousness.

But it’s better to find out earlier than later.

Sooner or later this matter will be known to them, maybe it's better!

This is why Zhao Ping tacitly allowed the security team to carry liquor.

But Yuan Xuezheng didn't know that the security team was still drinking.

That day Cuju won a game and celebrated with a drink.

However, drinking must be carried out in accordance with military regulations and must be approved by Star Wash before it can be used.

If he knew it, wouldn't he make these old masters half angry to death?

Zhao Ping stepped forward and bowed to Yuan Xuezheng, Qian Shao, Yan Yan, etc., and then said: "Let me tell you, teachers, this is indeed wine. But it is not brewed with grain."

Yuan Xuezheng said coldly: "Wine has always been brewed from grain."

Qian Shaoye said coldly: "The smell of wine is so strong, I don't know how much grain was used."

Yan Yan's face was as calm as ever, and he said calmly: "If you don't explain the reason for such a waste of food, then I don't have to go to Zhaojiazhuang."

The above chapter is online.

Zhao Ping finally invited them, but he didn't expect them to behave like this.

He was completely examined as a prisoner and had to go home.

Is my character really that bad?

This matter must be resolved.

Zhao Ping saluted with both hands and led Yuan Xuezheng, Qian Shao, Yan Yan and a group of literati to the brewing workshop.

Pass through the gate guarded by layers of guards and arrive at the brewery.

Before I even arrived at the winery, I could smell the strong aroma of wine from afar.

They first came to the raw material warehouse and did not find the legendary grain. Instead, they saw two piles of kudzu and yams.

In the pre-treatment room, they saw and dried the kudzu and yams;

Dozens of workers are cleaning constantly in a huge pool;

There were constant banging sounds among the smashing.

It turned out that hundreds of workers chopped them on the table with knives; then they were ground finely with millstones and then sieved.

If it has not been sieved, it must be ground again with a grindstone until it is all sieved.

In the mixing room, they saw hundreds of large barrels.

Dozens more people added a yellow powdery substance, mixed it evenly, and then pushed the mixture into the fermentation room.

Finally, they came to the drinking room.

There are more than ten cauldrons here.

From a distance, they saw dozens of workers, sweating profusely, adding charcoal to a large stove.

There is a large steamer on the stove. There is a tube on top of the steamer.

A water-like liquid continued to flow out of one end of the tube, and finally fell into the jar.

Everyone suddenly realized that the strong fragrance came from here.

It's just that the smell of the wine was too strong. Some people couldn't bear the strong smell and backed away.

But others were just the opposite, and kept swallowing their saliva.

Zhao Ping looked at what was in front of him. It was obvious that this must be satisfied. Everyone filled a gourd with a pot of wine and handed it to them.

Zhao Ping bowed and then said: "Masters and teachers, you have also visited."

"The wine we make at Zhaojiazhuang is completely different from other wines. The raw material is not grain."

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

"But yam and kudzu root. This kind of wine is named Qiongjiang wine and Yuye wine according to the alcohol content, because the banquet is inconsistent. It not only allows people to drink fine wine, but also can be used as a good disinfectant for the wounded."

All these literati couldn't help but sigh that this is how the jade liquid and fine wine came out, and they said it was unimaginable!

It is also a good disinfectant.

Unlike Yuan Xuezheng, who purely teaches and educates people, Qian Shao, who is in charge of the county school finance, shook his head.

This can be said to be Zhaojiazhuang’s unique secret recipe. Why should others know the brewing process?

If someone leaks the secret, Zhaojiazhuang will suffer serious losses.

After all, he is Zhao Ping's uncle, and he also likes Zhao Ping, a genius, and of course he has his best interests at heart.

So Qian Shao asked: "Ping'er, you let me visit the fine wine. It shows that you are really honest."

At this point, he paused.

He frowned and said, "But aren't you afraid of leaking the secret of brewing to others?"

Zhao Ping saluted with both hands and said: "But if I don't bring you here, do you believe that I don't brew it with grain?"

Yuan Xuezheng nodded: "Ping'er's nectar is different from other brewing methods. Now we are fully convinced that you are not brewing it with grain."

In fact, the brewing in the Song Dynasty was made from rice.

The principle is to store rice for a period of time, and it will ferment when the weather is hot.

It is not distilled and has a low alcohol content.

It's also turbid and there are even rice grains in it.

It can be said that it is somewhat similar to today's beer, except that it is not as clear as beer, so it is not surprising that Wu Song was able to drink eighteen bowls.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to name Zhao Ping’s wine Qiongjiangyuye.

Although Zhao Ping asked Yuan Tao to visit the brewing process to let everyone understand that he did not brew with grain.

In fact, he thought too much.

The reason why Zhao Ping took them to visit with confidence and boldness was naturally because he had his own ideas.

With these literati, Zhao Ping was completely sure that they would not be able to understand the principles of liquor, not to mention that they had not yet allowed them to visit the most important distiller's yeast and fermentation workshop.

Even so, they couldn't help but be surprised by Zhao Ping's frankness.

The biggest gain for these literati was that each of them had a gourd to sprinkle, and they all saluted to express their gratitude.

Zhao Ping then recited a poem: "The crystal clear is not a mountain spring, the jade liquid and nectar fall into the world. Du Kang was drunk and Taibai hated him, and the world is saddened by the loss of the drunken immortal."

"Dear teachers, this wine is very strong. If you drink too much, you will get drunk. There will be consequences at your own risk."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two bangs and someone fell down.

When everyone took a look, it turned out to be Lu Wei and Yang Tao.

The two of them didn't believe that the wine was as strong as Zhao Ping said.

After all, Changyuan County was just a small place, but he was from the capital. When no one was paying attention, they secretly drank a few sips, but they didn't know that Zhao Ping gave them liquor with a high temperature of over 60 degrees.

They usually drank less than ten percent rice wine, but suddenly they drank such a strong alcoholic drink that their bodies couldn't bear it and they fainted immediately.

Everyone looked at each other. This wine was really powerful. After thinking about it, they should taste it slowly.

There was a sensation in the meeting hall, and people were completely convinced that nothing happened in Zhaojiazhuang.

Because an object made by Zhaojiazhuang was regarded as auspicious, it was donated to the court, and the filial mother's car was also donated to the court.

The mistress of Zhaojiazhuang was even more extraordinary. She was recommended as a concubine by Changyuan County.

People privately speculated that there must be something related to whether Zhaojiazhuang's pickup card was accepted by the government.

Zhao Ping then convened the intermediate-level and above members in the conference hall to solemnly pay homage to Yuan Xuezheng as the mountain president of Zhaojiazhuang College.

The college has temporarily established a classics school, a medical school, an arithmetic school, a research school, and an agricultural school.

Qian Shao was the academic official of the college, and he was directly admitted to the college and a professor of the School of Classics and Literature, while the professor of the medical school was Youlang.

Zhao Ping temporarily served as a professor at the Gewu School, the Agricultural School, and the Arithmetic School.

In the subsequent banquet hall, Zhaojiazhuang hosted a banquet for Yuan Xuezheng, Qian Shao, Yan Yan and other literati, as well as representatives of soldiers who had returned in triumph.

Zhang Jiayong and other businessmen were originally engaged in despicable industries, but they did not expect that representatives would attend. Although the location was very remote, it was good to stay in.

Yuan Xuezheng noticed it and couldn't help frowning.
