Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

After the morning court, Ying Zigao went to the imperial study.Start reviewing the memorial.

When writing instructions for the memorial, he abandoned Xiaozhuan without hesitation and started writing regular script.

After writing the instructions in one go, he looked at his standard regular script.

Ying Zigao couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Finally, I don't need to write Xiaozhuan anymore!"

No need to write small seal characters anymore, and Ying Zigao's efficiency in reviewing memorials is much faster.

Nearly half an hour earlier than usual, the review was over.

Just put down the brush.The guard officer's respectful voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the craftsman in charge of making wine-making equipment, please see me!"

"Let him in quickly!" Ying Zi quickly ordered.

Soon, three craftsmen walked in carefully carrying a thin wooden box.

"You are here. Have you already made the brewing equipment?"

After the craftsmen paid their respects, Ying Zigao asked directly.

"Your Majesty, the little ones are ready!"

One of the middle-aged craftsmen hurriedly said seriously: "Put it in this box!"

"Open it, let me take a good look!" Ying Zigao said hastily.

The craftsmen hurriedly agreed, and carefully opened the new wooden box, and lifted out the finished utensils one by one.

Looking at the finished utensils, Ying Zigao couldn't help but shine!
This set of equipment for distilling wine is consistent with the appearance of the one I designed.

Ying Zigao hurriedly stood up from behind the table, strode to the distilling equipment, and observed carefully.

Looking carefully, Ying Zigao couldn't help nodding.

This set of equipment for distilling wine is well-made and exquisitely crafted, fully meeting Ying Zigao's design requirements.

"Good job!" Ying Zigao praised with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" the craftsmen said hurriedly.

"Have you experimented after it's finished?" Ying Zigao continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, I tried it with ordinary corn wine!"

The middle-aged craftsman said carefully.

"How's the result of the experiment?" Ying Zigao asked hurriedly.

"The boys think it's pretty good!" The middle-aged craftsman couldn't help but feel energetic when he mentioned this.He hurriedly said: "The younger ones use the cheapest wine that costs 5 Wen a liter.

Using this vessel, I tried to distill it according to the method His Majesty instructed. As a result, the cheapest wine turned into a mellow wine! "

"That's pretty good!" Ying Zigao couldn't help being interested, and hurriedly asked, "Did you bring that wine?"

"Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the little ones, for being greedy for a while, there is only such a small bottle left in that liter of wine!"

The middle-aged craftsman couldn't help but his face tightened, and he said with some embarrassment, and took out a delicate small pottery bottle.

He took the small wine bottle from the hand of the accompanying eunuch, opened the cork, and a strong smell of wine wafted away quickly.

As soon as he smelled the pure and strong aroma of wine, Ying Zigao couldn't help but cheer up!
Immediately let the accompanying eunuch bring a glass wine vessel, pour out a glass, and taste it.

"Your Majesty, this wine is distilled from the cheapest bad wine."

Seeing Yingzi raise the wine glass high-end, he wants to taste it.The middle-aged craftsman became anxious all of a sudden, and said hastily: "The young ones are afraid that this wine will not enter your Majesty's mouth!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly asked: "Didn't you just say that this wine is mellow wine?"

The middle-aged craftsman hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the young ones think it is good, but your Majesty, you are the emperor..."

"You guys think it's good, so what's the problem with me often?"

Ying Zigao said nonchalantly, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The pure and strong wine was swallowed directly from the throat!

A hot and mellow taste immediately spread from the tongue to the top of the forehead!
After this glass of wine, Ying Zigao couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

The taste of this wine is similar to the mid-range grain wine of later generations, and the alcohol content should be around 42 degrees.

It is indeed very rare to use the cheapest grain wine in the Great Qin Dynasty to distill it into such a high-grade spirit.

"Good wine!" Ying Zi said loudly!

After saying this, he opened the wine bottle again, poured himself a full glass, and drank it all in one gulp!

Seeing that Ying Zi was very satisfied with drinking high, the craftsmen were relieved.

"The equipment for distilling wine is very well done, I am very satisfied!"

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Ying Zigao drank all the wine in the pottery bottle, and then he said with satisfaction: "I will reward you for your meritorious deeds, and bestow you with military titles!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!" The craftsmen suddenly became excited, and they knelt down on the ground in unison, saying loudly!

"For meritorious deeds, demerits must be punished, come to our national policy of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Zi said loudly: "I'm even stricter in rewards and punishments! It's not like this is the reward you deserve!"

The craftsmen's hearts became hot, and they hurriedly said loudly.

"I have decided to officially set up a spirits workshop!"

Ying Zigao went on to say: "You guys are in charge! Divided into two groups, one group makes vessels for distilling spirits, and the other group concentrates on processing distilled spirits!"

"You guys understand!" The middle-aged craftsman hurriedly agreed.

"Today, you all distill and process all the royal wine that is treasured in the Imperial Palace into spirits!"

Ying Zigao gave an order: "I'm going to conduct a palace test for the engineering midterm candidates soon. At the banquet after the palace test, I'm going to drink spirits with the new engineering scholars!"

"You guys understand!" The middle-aged craftsman hurriedly said: "You guys must work hard with all your heart, and you will never miss His Majesty's work!"

After dismissing the craftsmen, Ying Zi picked up the wine bottle and smelled the mellow aroma of the strong wine.

At this moment, the guard officer's respectful voice sounded outside the door again: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is begging to see you!"

"Please!" Ying Zigao said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, the list of candidates for the engineering examination and the pilot test has been released."

Minister of Rites hurriedly came to Ying Zigao, and said seriously: "This is the list, please look it over, Your Majesty."

Ying Zigao picked up the list and looked at it, seeing that Guo Shoujing was ranked first, his eyes lit up, and he said with satisfaction, "Not bad!"

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 36 candidates for the pilot test!"

The Minister of Rites went on to say: "Because the number of candidates applying for the exam is only a hundred, the admission ratio is obviously too high, and I am worried..."

"There is nothing to worry about. We will hire as many people as possible!"

Ying Zigao said without hesitation: "What I lack now are practical talents in engineering and agronomy!"

"I understand." The Minister of Rites nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, I will arrange the imperial examination!"

"Leave this matter to Aiqing."
