After a detailed discussion, Luo Taisui finally let Lao Jiu understand the "wine taster"'s method of making money.

In fact, a top wine taster is not limited to how much money he can earn, but it is crucial to become a "taste bud dictator" and discover the value of wine from a professional perspective, which makes people flock to it.

As a time traveler, Luo Taisui knew that under the rule of generations of emperors, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty would be continuously improved, all industries would be prosperous, and the drinking and government orders would be further opened up.

Countless literary masters came into being.

Poetry, poets and wine are integrated to form the most eye-catching poetic and wine culture of this era.

For example, the "Eight Immortals Songs in Drinking" that appeared later.

The so-called Eight Immortals in the Drinking World are He Zhizhang, King Li Feng, Li Shizhi, Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Li Bai, Zhang Xu, and Jiao Sui.

Except for Jiao Sui, the other seven people were famous scholars of the world, who were addicted to alcohol, bold and open-minded, and open-minded... which are their common characteristics.

So the question is, Jiao Sui is just a commoner, who has no achievements in the court and literary world. What is the basis for being among the Eight Immortals in the Drinking World?

Du Fu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" says: Jiao Sui's five dows of the square are outstanding, and his high talk and eloquence are shocking the four banquets.

In addition, there is no official record of this person's life in history.

However, in the legendary story "Ganze Ballad" recorded by Yuan Jiao of the late Tang Dynasty, Jiao Sui was portrayed as a familiar person with ghosts and gods...

In fact, in Luo Taisui's opinion, it doesn't matter whether Jiao Sui understands Feng Shui or not.

Since it is the Eight Immortals in "drinking", their talents should be related to wine.

Not only do you like drinking, but you also have to know how to drink.

Jiao Sui must be a master of this and is well versed in wine, which is equivalent to the taster of this era. Therefore, a group of famous scholars and nobles looked at each other and gathered together to make the wine and talk happily.

With this "late" example, Luo Taisui thinks it is worth Lao Jiu's reference.

"According to your opinion..." Lao Jiu pondered and said: "This wine tasting is not only good at drinking, but also knows how to taste wine. More importantly, he is familiar with various ways of making wine...

Once enough fame is established, breweries and wine shops will visit them one after another, presenting fine wine to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages…”

Luo Taisui nodded and added: "You can also classify the wine and set a different level. As long as the brewery and the wine shop are confident in their wine, they will ask you to taste it.

If you use your mouth to spread your reputation as a fine wine, you can still sell it for a good price, why not do it?”

"This idea is quite unique." Lao Jiu did not open his eyebrows, thinking about the feasibility, "but... it may not be easy to make a name for drinking!"

He, Lao Jiu, has been in trouble for many years, but he is only famous. Once he does nothing, he will become a common person.

Look at the present, let alone in the world, even among the bad people, as the "Ba Ya" retreated one after another, his presence was almost gone.

"The main method to make famous is to make friends with famous scholars and nobles." Luo Taisui brainstormed at the right time, "I heard that Wang Ji, the 'Bachelor of Douji', could drink five dou of wine without getting drunk. Anyone who invites him to drink with wine, no matter the noble or low, would happily go there.

Why don’t you try it?”

Wang Ji, the younger brother of Wang Tong, a great scholar at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Wang Bo, one of the four heroes in the early Tang Dynasty, was his nephew.

This person has gone through the Sui and Tang dynasties, and three officials and three secretaries were closely related to "wine". He can be said to be addicted to alcohol.

Wang Ji's greatest achievement in his life lies in his poetry. He is known as "reversing the remnants of Qi and Liang styles and regaining the style of Wei and Jin dynasties" and is recognized by later generations as the founder of five-character regulated verse.

"What you are talking about is Wang Puzhao?" Lao Jiu seemed to have heard of it.

"It's this person." Luo Taisui nodded.

During the Wude period, the court summoned officials of the previous dynasty, and Wang Ji then went to the province with his original post as a servant.

"But this person doesn't seem to be famous..." Lao Jiu twisted his beard on his lips, "I also specifically inquired about him because he was good at drinking..."

Luo Taisui was a little surprised, but soon reacted and realized that he was in an era of changing poetry style.

The palace style poems in the Southern Dynasty were popular in the early Tang Dynasty, mostly involved palace life or affair between men and women, and in form, they pursued the verbal beauty, which was called "Qi Liang Yufeng".

Even Li Shimin, the king of a country, cannot escape the common people.

Wang Ji's poems are simple and unpretentious, washing away all the luster of the Six Dynasties, inheriting the style of Tao Yuanming, the "pastoral poet" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It can be said that it was the pioneer of the landscape pastoral poetry school in the Tang Dynasty.

According to later generations, there may not be the greatest poet in the early Tang Dynasty, but there were the most outstanding poetic changers!

Wang Ji is one of them.

Obviously, no one except Luo Taisui will realize this, and naturally cannot understand its contribution to the development of contemporary poetry.

"Wang's talent is high and his position is low, and his reputation is indeed not obvious." Considering the limitations of the times, Luo Taisui had to admit this, "Well... maybe another person will be more suitable."

He pinched his chin and smiled again, as if he had some new ideas.

"Who?" This is introducing himself to a drinker, how could Lao Jiu not be interested?

"This person is not very famous at the moment, but he has the talent of the king and the assistant. In the future, he will surely soar into the sky, and even be appointed as a marquis and ministers. It is not impossible for him to be a magistrate and minister!" Luo Taisui was very confident, but he had room for words to avoid suspicion.

"Oh?" Lao Jiuqi said, "There is such a person!" Then he asked, "Who is it?"

Luo Taisui said slowly: "This person's name is Ma Zhou, and now he is dormant in Chang He's mansion."

Lao Jiu didn't feel anything, but Li Lizhi, who was eavesdropping not far away, was shocked.

Is there such a coincidence?

I had just met Ma Zhou and was about to try his background, but I didn't expect that I could hear his name when I turned around and heard in Luo Mansion.

It seems that Luo Taisui's evaluation of him seems to be very high.

Could it be...I accidentally picked up the treasure?

All the past has made Li Lizhi subconsciously have an almost blind trust in Luo Taisui.

Even she herself didn't realize this.

But Lao Jiu doesn’t care whether he believes it or not. He cares more about another thing: “Is this Ma Zhou also a wine-loving person?”

Luo Taisui grinned and said, "Of course."

Ma Zhou was depressed and unsuccessful in his early years. When he was appointed as an assistant teacher in Bozhou, he lived on alcohol.

Later, when I went to Chang'an, I drank a dou of eight liters alone in a hotel in Xinfeng, and the store owners were deeply surprised.

"If there is a chance, this person is worthy of his hand." Lao Jiu laughed when he heard this.

"If you want to see a thousand miles away, you can go to a higher level." Luo Taisui said earnestly: "If you want to make a name for yourself, you need to pay more attention."

He brainstormed for a while, and there were about three years left before the start of the horse's week.

In terms of talent, Lao Jiu is far from Ma Zhou, and using wine as an entry point is already a trick. If you don’t study the wine story well in these three years, then you may not even be on the same level, not to mention being on the same level.

"If you want to see each other thousands of miles away, you can go to a higher level..."

Lao Jiu didn't expect that this Tiehanhan could say such a profound poem. He couldn't help but ignore his tone of lessons and lowered his head and thought deeply.
