Unparalleled Concubine

Of course, this world has not yet introduced chili peppers. Li Xin's is seasoned with cornel, which is chili peppers. The spiciness is still worse than those Chaotian peppers of later generations.

But in Li Xin's world, there is no such thing as mandarin duck hot pot, and his bottom line is red soup. This is a matter of principle, and it is impossible for him to accommodate Ji Lingxiu on this matter of principle.

Like to eat or not.

Not long after, the red soup boiled in the clay pot. Li Xin handed a pair of chopsticks into the hands of Princess Jiu, pointed to the side dishes, and said softly, "Eat hot."

Under Li Xin's guidance, this foodie princess quickly learned how to eat.

She almost ate up the mutton prepared by Li Xin, and then Her Royal Highness Ninth Princess couldn't bear the spicy food, so she kept sticking out her tongue and gulping down cold water.

While Li Xin was eating his vegetable leaves in an orderly manner, he said quietly: "Your Highness, you eat like this..."

"It will make you fat."

The nine princesses are about to cry, but it's not delicious, but spicy.

Following Li Xin's example, she sat down next to the pottery pot, rolled up her sleeves and continued her hot pot business, without hearing what Li Xin was saying.

Li Xin looked helplessly at the little girl.

This "second generation of emperor" loves to eat so much, why is he not fat at all?

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Ji Lingxiu was finally satisfied. She blushed from the heat, reached out and touched her belly, wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and then gave Li Xin a proud look.

"I'm going to eat this again tomorrow!"

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Li Xin said helplessly: "Your Highness, if you keep eating this thing, you will get angry."

"I'm going to eat."

"Eating will make you fat..."

"in spite of!"

At this time, the night wind blew, blowing the skirts of the pair of boys and girls.

………………

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Li Xin had already stayed in Princess Qinghe's mansion for half a month.

During this period of time, Li Xin's relationship with the Ninth Princess improved by leaps and bounds by virtue of his culinary skills.

During this period of time, apart from coaxing the arrogant Ninth Princess, Li Xinxin was thinking about another thing, which was making money.

The Seventh Prince gave up the Tianmu prison, so he had to build an intelligence agency by himself, otherwise he would be passive everywhere in the capital. However, to build an intelligence agency, not only a lot of talents, but most importantly, a lot of money is needed.

When the Seventh Prince first came out of the palace to open the mansion, his expenses were only the monthly expenses of the ancestral mansion, which was not enough for a prince's daily expenses. Later, he had no choice but to open a proud building by the Qinhuai River.

The Deyi Building has two purposes, one is to help the Wei Palace to collect information, and the other is to help the Wei Palace to provide sources of funds.

It's just that the scope of information collected by Deyilou is limited to the banks of the Qinhuai River. The scope is too narrow, and it is completely insufficient for now.

Therefore, another intelligence agency needs to be established.

That day in the Princess Mansion, Li Xin said that he wanted to get money for His Royal Highness King Wei, and he had already figured out the specific method, which was to make wine.

Li Xin has seen a lot of wine in this era, most of which are low-alcohol turbid wine, rice wine, and some even fruit wine. The transparent high-alcohol liquor of later generations is extremely rare, or even almost non-existent.

Therefore, Li Xin wanted to get some distilled wine out.

If one can monopolize the wine industry in this world, not to mention an intelligence agency, even treason funds can be accumulated quickly.

But this business cannot be done by ordinary people. If Li Xin manages this by himself, it will be fine if the business cannot be done. Once the business starts, it will take at most three months for him to die.

Gravity red eyes.

But partnering with a prince is different. As long as His Royal Highness Wei Wang is willing to do it, no one will dare to rob him. After the business is established, Li Xin and Wei Wangfu will be able to gather a lot of funds in a short period of time.

During this period of time, Li Xin took the time to think about the brewing process of later generations. In his previous life, the company produced high-end liquor. Although he was in charge of the marketing department, as the deputy manager, he had visited the brewing workshop many times.

Therefore, he more or less knows something.

At the end of March, a sketch was gradually completed in Li Xin's hands.

Chapter 103

No matter where you are, as long as you are a small leader, your life will be much more comfortable. Li Xin is like this now. The captain camp in Qinghe Princess Mansion is all his subordinates. He doesn't have to report to Habayashi Guard, even He was in charge of the Xiaowei camp, so Li Xin didn't have to go to the princess mansion to report every day, but he would go and see it when he remembered.

Of course, Li Xin still had to get her something to eat when Her Royal Highness called her.

After all, in a certain sense, Li Xin and the school lieutenant battalion under him do not belong to the Habayashi Guard for the time being, but to the orders of His Royal Highness Ninth Princess, and they cannot openly disobey the superior.

This morning, Li Xin finally drew a rough sketch of the distillation equipment.

Almost all high-alcohol wines of later generations are distilled wines that are first brewed and then distilled. Because of simple brewing, the highest alcohol concentration is in the tenths, and it cannot be higher.

Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee the clarity of the brewed wine.

Therefore, before the distillation technology came out, the ancients generally drank "turbid wine".

The so-called distillation is to use the different boiling points of alcohol and water to purify the brewed alcohol and aroma. This purification will not destroy the original taste of the brewed wine, but will only make it purer and stronger.

Although the sketch was drawn, the matter was not in a hurry. After Li Xin walked around the yard, he changed into casual clothes. Shi Shiran walked out of his yard and walked towards Wei Wangfu in Yonglefang .

After Pingnan Hou Li Shen returned to Beijing and denied Li Xin's identity, Li Xin's "hotness" in the capital gradually cooled down. Up to now, as long as he doesn't do any big things, no one will be bored. To send someone to follow him, and this matter is of great importance, so he has to go to the Wei Palace in person.

When passing by the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion, Li Xin saw that the gate of the Prince's Mansion was closed tightly, as if thanking guests behind closed doors.

The last time he came to Wei Wangfu as a guest, the entrance of the Wangfu was still bustling, and many people lined up to give gifts to the prince, but now it is so deserted, obviously because His Royal Highness Wei Wang listened to his opinion and began to close his tentacles .

Li Xin hesitated for a while, and instead of going in through the front door, he went around to the back door of Prince Wei's Mansion. After passing the pass, he soon saw His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince dressed in black in the backyard of Prince Wei's Mansion.

At this time, the weather was getting hotter. His Royal Highness Prince Wei led Li Xin under a gazebo, and smiled at Li Xin, "It's rare that Brother Xin took the initiative to come to my palace. What's the big deal?"

Since the two of them met, Li Xin has only been to Wei Wangfu once, and the rest of the time, His Royal Highness Wei Wang took the initiative to find him.

Li Xin took out a few sketches from his sleeve, handed them to the Seventh Prince, and said straight to the point: "Your Highness, this is something I have created during this period of time. I don't have anyone around me. Your Highness is in charge of the Ministry of Industry. Please Your Highness asked someone to make a few sets of samples according to this."

The Seventh Prince casually flipped through these pictures. On the picture was a strange thing connected by bamboo tubes. His Royal Highness Wei Wang looked at it several times but still didn't know what it was, so he frowned: "This is it?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, and said in a solemn voice, "Your Highness, this is a business. If this business is only done by His Highness's family, within three years, His Highness will at least be able to make His Highness a million dollars a year."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked up at the Seventh Prince, and said in a low voice, "If it works properly, it can even have [-]% of the imperial court's annual revenue."

Dajin's annual tax revenue is about 3000 million guan in copper coins, which is 300% of the national treasury, which is [-] million guan a year.
