The harassment was so serious that Zheng Xiong simply didn't show up. The pharmacy here told everyone not to let anyone in without permission.
But some people are easy to deal with, and some people are very difficult to deal with.
His immediate boss, Yingtian Mansion Yin Zheng Yiyan, immediately called someone over.
It’s not just asking for alcohol directly, it probably means that the alcohol produced by Huimin Pharmacy will benefit the country and the people. It is a great thing, and I must ask the emperor for credit. The conversation changed to whether this wine was really good wine.
Although Zheng Xiong was a straight-headed person in his previous life, he could still understand the obvious meaning.
What else could I do? I took a pound of alcohol and let the errand boy take it away. I have to thank Mr. Fu Yin for his support.
It’s okay if I don’t give it, but if I give you a little shoe to wear and find something for you every now and then, I’ll have a headache.
Zheng Xiong wants to be a salty fish and doesn't want to cause trouble, so he can avoid such troubles.
Fu Yin gave it to Fu Yin, and Fu Yin pretended to have arrived.
The six ministers sent people here again, and they couldn't afford to offend him. Give it, one pound per person.
From now on, those nobles who will follow Lao Zhu to conquer the world will not be able to satisfy them at all. When you open your mouth, it weighs a hundred pounds. The euphemistic name is that there are many injured people under the tent, and they are used to treat external injuries. But it’s hard to tell how much went into their own stomachs. Although the method is internal procurement, the money is paid.
It was also very troublesome, so I quickly made another batch of crude wine and distilled it.
After finally working overtime to get rid of this batch, Lao Zhu's son sent someone again. No nonsense, just throw money at it. I can't afford to offend this.
With no rest, Zheng Xiong and several others worked overtime.
One after another, and then Tai Hospital, directly for the people of the world. Put on a big hat. Besides, I still have to deal with him in the future. In the end, Lao Zhu also ended up, it was just a routine. The first official was promoted two levels, and Zheng Xiong became the Zhimaguan of the eighth rank. Because some wine is really used to clean wounds and prevent bacterial infections from getting worse. The effect was remarkable, and the imperial edict was issued after seeing the effect.
Yes, the benefits are also given. Do you want to give them to the emperor's face? I made another batch of offerings.
After going around, I made a lot of money. Except for Lao Zhu, who didn't give any money, some of them were given away for free, and everyone else gave money. Zheng Xiong is not used to it, and the money he should be charged is not polite. Ten coins of grain on the market can produce a pound of wine, which can be sold for twenty coins. The cost of distilled liquor is only twenty or thirty cents, and it is sold for two hundred cents per pound. He didn't dare to go too far. Zheng Xiong had bought all the wine on the market, and he could vaguely guess the clues.
Everything actually has its fixed value. Nowadays, wine is very refreshing because it has a certain therapeutic effect and because things are rare and expensive.
If you want to sell it more expensively, you have to give it another value. For example, brand value and packaging. The next step is to give the background, the year and month are clear, one year, two years, a century-old cellar.
Finally, there is the market segmentation. In the liquor war, medicated wine can carve out a way out. This medicated wine can be written down in a notebook. Professionally matched, and the alcohol concentration reaches the standard, everything can be brewed.
Putting away the scattered four dimensions, Zheng Xiong looked at the bill. In less than half a month, he sold more than 10,000 jins of wine, making a profit of 1,500 guan. This is just a casual effort and only serves a small group of people. If it is open for sale, it will be an astronomical figure.
Although this period of time is tiring and not in line with Zheng Xiong's purpose of fishing, everyone loves money. Zheng Xiong is no exception. It doesn't matter if he is tired, he is happy if he doesn't look at him.
Not to mention that with this money, the cakes painted in the past are not only for looking at but not eating, they should be expanded.
But this can be slowed down first. The market for high-alcohol wine is huge and this has just begun. It wasn't just to satisfy his appetite, although Meng Yuan could only shrink into a corner after being beaten. But there are still frictions. This year Lao Zhu launched another conquest. Just supplying the military is a huge market.
You would be a fool if you don't make money. If it really affects people's livelihood, Lao Zhu will be worried.
However, as the goods are being scanned during this period, ordinary low-alcohol wines are either out of stock or have increased in price, making them less easy to buy.
Zheng Xiong still has many orders in hand, and these alone may not be enough to support such a large market.
It seems that I have to try brewing. This is the basic plan. It will be uncomfortable if I get stuck one day.
I did it as I thought and called Wang Er, Zhao San and Zhang Yi. During this time, these few people were busy, and no one else was allowed to come. Each of them was rewarded with a certain amount of money.
After these people have made alcohol during this period, they are all familiar with the process. They knew everything inside. Even if they were very busy every day, there would be people digging there every day when they went back. Zheng Xiong would be generous enough if he hadn't signed a contract and received a sky-high compensation. Maybe he'd been poached long ago, and that's not even safe.
Zheng Xiong is not entangled. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. No one can guess the human heart. All Zheng Xiong can give is benefits, and he will do his best to obey fate.
When they saw the reward, several people were very happy, and their little thoughts were suppressed for the time being, and they thanked them again and again.
After paying the reward, they were asked to find a few people who knew how to make wine, and they didn't hide it. He just said that he was going to open a big brewery and the benefits would be good. Everyone gets money every month, and there are rewards for good work.
This is a small matter for a few people. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Basically, the craftsmen were all together because of the household registration system, so it was not a difficult task, so they took over the matter immediately.
After getting a few people together, Zheng Xiong went to the Ministry of Industry. This time he was familiar with the road and quickly finalized the details. After paying the money and signing the contract documents, the fifteen hundred guan was spent before I could warm myself up.
The simple distillation equipment has also been upgraded and moved into the warehouse. There are more and bigger stoves. When I was too busy, I built a few more, from one to five, and now to ten. Divide into left and right and line up in a row.
That's it at this stage, a few people are barely enough. There are too many people with many eyes, and good things are in their own hands. If you can make some money, make it as soon as possible.
In less than half a month, the brewing workshop was completed and the staff was in place. After purchasing a batch of grain, we started making wine.
During this period, more than a thousand coins were recorded.
More than a thousand coins were spent to build some cellars and warehouses. Prepare for a rainy day and put some out every year, which is a good old wine. This is also the heritage of the winery.
The days are passing by, and the Chinese New Year is not far away. Zheng Xiong also stopped tossing around and concentrated on making wine. Orders also reached a peak during this period, and there was no time to think about anything else.
When the pharmacy got rich, it continued to buy herbal medicines. Zheng Xiong also knew what his old line of work was.
Because the treatment of traumatic infections is very effective, the reputation has increased, and the number of people has increased. It was painful and happy, and it also made a profit.
Everything was on the right track, and Zheng Xiong returned to his fishing state. When he got tired, he went to give some guidance.
There is not much trouble, just some traders are working tirelessly, and the world is recuperating. Alcohol has the reputation of treating trauma, so there is nothing wrong with drinking some from Huimin Pharmacy. But if you want to brew on a large scale and affect people's livelihood, then you have to test Lao Zhu's sword.
Those with status know that Huimin Pharmacy can be free and happy.
Those with power did not participate, and those with money did not have to worry about it. There was no pressure at all.
