Maotai liquor actually existed a long time ago. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Maotai could make wine locally, called wolfberry liquor.

However, the process was very poor at that time, not only the cycle was long, but the wine produced was also of low degree.

Well, well, actually looking at the entire Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms period - even if we trace back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the wine level is not high.

You can see that you can read the novel Water Margin that there are 108 heroes in Liangshan, all of whom eat big pieces of meat and drink big bowls!

One person can drink more than a dozen bowls of wine!

Just count as a bowl of wine per pound, one person can drink at least ten pounds of white wine!

There are 100, eight generals in Liangshan, and 72 are in Yuncheng.

If it were replaced by modern high-level liquor, let alone in Yuncheng, you would relax to the entire Shandong, or even to the entire China. It would be quite difficult to find 108 heroes who can drink more than ten kilograms of liquor!

From this we can infer that the degree of liquor at that time was actually very low, and it was probably similar to that of modern beer reading, which was only about ten degrees.

In this case, it is still easy to find 72 heroes who can drink more than ten kilograms of beer in Yuncheng.

The ancient winemaking process was very rough, how rough was it?

Even until the Tang and Song dynasties, there would be a lot of lemon residue left in the wine, and the wine was very turbid.

Don’t laugh at the farmhouse’s wax wine, and keeping guests in a good harvest. This is not politeness, it’s really messy.

A cup of turbid wine is a thousand miles away, and Yanran has no choice but to return without any help. It is not humility, but true turbidity.

Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Shijiu": Green ants are newly roasted wine, red mud stove. It's time to snow in the evening, can you drink a cup of wine?

It looks poetic and picturesque, and it is very beautiful.

But what are the green ants here?

It turns out that Bai Juyi brewed fruit wine, while green ants refer to the remaining flesh the size of an ant.

This is not like wine, but like a lot of fruit.

This shows how backward the ancient winemaking process was.

Lu Bu believes that when he introduced modern advanced craftsmanship and brewed wine with clear and transparent degree, and could reach a height of fifty or sixty degrees, he would definitely cause a sensation in the Three Kingdoms era.

At that time, the Moutai industry alone can drive the economic development of a large area around it.

Now Lu Bu is considering whether to bring Lao Ganma in too...

After Lu Bu came to Maotai Town, the first thing he did was to choose a factory manager with integrity and responsibility.

In fact, the first person Lu Bu thought of was Guo Jia, because this guy is very good wine. If Guo Jia knew that he could make such a good wine, I believe he would be interested.

If Lu Bu dares to let him come, he dares to come without any hesitation.

Of course, Lu Bu couldn't really let Guo Jia come.

If a grand cabinet minister came to make wine, Lu Bu estimated that he would be scolded to death by the people of the world.

In the end, Lu Bu selected a respected elder in the local area to serve as the factory director.

The next thing to do is to expand the scale and improve the brewing process.

Moutai wine can be brewed, following the principles of picking music on Dragon Boat Festival and feeding materials on Double Ninth Festival.

And it will take at least five years from picking up the meter to leaving the factory.

So what Lu Bu can do now is to expand the scale of Moutai winery.

Lu Bu prepared the first batch of Moutai liquor, which could at least be used by Dahua.

Then, the production of Moutai liquor will be gradually increased every year.

You should know that in later generations, Moutai Chief is a pillar industry in Guizhou Province, and Moutai Group's tax revenue is as high as more than 2 billion!

As long as this Maotai winery is revitalized, half of Guizhou's economy can be revitalized.

...

Before he knew it, Lu Bu stayed in Guizhou for nearly two months.

The Kweichow Moutai Distillery was built, and this scale would not require expansion in the next twenty years.

Of course, because of the craftsmanship of Moutai, it will take five years to release wine.

So in the short term, there may not be much results.

Therefore, at this time, we can only adopt the method of subsidies from the court to allow the winery to maintain it.

Before we knew it, it was November and the weather gradually became colder.

The work at the winery was over, and Lu Bu was also preparing to go back to Nanjing.

At this moment, Lu Bu received a letter from his family.

There was a thick stack of letters from home. Lu Bu first read the letters written by the girls to him, and the letters were full of longing.

Cai Yan's deep love, Diao Chan's implicitness, Yan Rui's affection, Zhang Ning's enthusiasm, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's coquettishness made Lu Bu feel intoxicated.

I wish I could put my arms on my wings and fly to them immediately and love them very much.

After the letter from the girls, it was the letter written by Lu Bu and his children.

Lu Lingqi wrote: Father, you must take care of your health outside. Lingqi wants to write, waiting for you to go home for the New Year.

Lu Bin wrote: Father, why haven’t you come home yet? I’m taller again. If you don’t come back, I will surpass you!

Lu Sheng wrote: Father, next time Sheng'er will be with you to serve you! He hasn't seen his father for a long time, Sheng'er really misses you!

Lu Yunxin wrote: Father, when will you come back? People are almost forgetting what you look like!

Lu Qinxin and Lu Cheng left a few messy little palm prints, which made Lu Bu laugh.

Seeing this, Lu Bu felt that his heart was almost melting.

I am a little incompetent as a father. After I go back, I will definitely take time to accompany these little guys.

Especially Lingqi and Sheng'er, they are so sensible!

If there are too many children, those who are parents will definitely be biased.

Lu Bu prefers his eldest daughter, Lu Lingqi and second son, Lu Sheng.

...

Lu Bu packed up his luggage, led five thousand personal guards, left Guizhou, and prepared to return to Nanjing.

I was tiring all the way, and after a few days, I left Guizhou and was about to enter Jingzhou.

At this moment, Lu Bu received emergency military information, and a rebellion broke out in Yueshi County, one of the seven counties in the south.

Hum? The rebellion of the Yueshi County? How is this possible?

This matter is very strange. Lu Bu immediately found Jia Xu and prepared to take Jia Xu to Yueshi County in person to suppress the rebellion.

Jia Xu said to Lu Bu with a serious expression: "Emperor, Yue Zhu County borders the northern part of Yizhou, beware of their fraud! The son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall and cannot walk in danger. The subordinates think that it is enough for the emperor to send a general to suppress the rebellion, and the emperor cannot take risks in person!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and said, "Jia Aiqing is worried too much. I have fought in the battlefield for a lifetime, fighting across the country and north. How many times have I fought on the battlefield? I am the true emperor and there will be no trouble!"

"If I want to stay in the palace to deal with those political affairs, I think it's better to fight on the battlefield again! Don't persuade me about this matter anymore. I'm going to be the emperor in person!"

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel speechless.

Whatever you follow, you will be in charge of the army?

However, Jia Xu had to admit that what the emperor said made sense.

The emperor is the emperor, and his favorite thing is fighting on the battlefield.

He will never miss the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person.
