After Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Bei's words, he knew that Lantian had a transcendent status in the heart of the King of Hanzhong. If the few people were not chatting in the pavilion in the garden, they could have been regarded as asking for help.

With the answer to the question of whether Liu Bei should proclaim himself emperor, the atmosphere of the conversation between several people became lively.

Since Lantian hasn't seen anyone in person for a long time, the topic basically revolves around Jiaozhou. The most critical and core issue points directly to the suspension of the filial piety and integrity system in Lantian.

Zhuge Liang said with a sad face and sighed: "Ziyu's move is quite bold. From the time you set up the first school in Quanling, your ultimate goal is to select officials through the school, right?"

Lantian picked up the wine glass and commented meaningfully: "When flowers bloom, they will bear fruit. Where there is a beginning, there will be an end. Grain turns into wine and the final step is the entrance. If no one drinks the wine, then who is willing to invest in grain?"

"This is exactly what I want to say. If the grain is not used to make wine, it can still be used to feed the stomach. If all the grain is used to make wine, won't the world be full of disaster victims? Wouldn't it be better to fix a few items?" Zhuge Liang proposed himself

doubt.

Lantian replied with a smile: "I have known Wang and Yide since I was very young. I used to farm on a farm outside Xiaopei, and I am familiar with the crops in the field. If I just plant corn just to satisfy my hunger, the result will be excessive rations."

It is simple, no matter whether it is a commoner or a dignitary, they can only eat corn for every meal every day. As a result, people lack other food supplements and their bodies will suffer from various diseases. The Prime Minister should be clear about medical principles."

"Uh...that's not bad..." Zhuge Liang frowned.

"Because the human body does have needs, it needs chicken, duck, fish, eggs, rice, vegetables, beans, fruits and other foods. Only when the body is supplemented with various nutrients can it be balanced and not easily targeted by diseases, so there is a demand.

Only when the crops come out can the people plant new crops."

Lan Tian used food and the human body as a metaphor, and Zhuge Liang quickly understood it with his ingenuity. He used Lan Tian's topic to ask: "The grains, vegetables, and fruits in Ziyu's field are all mixed, and not all of them are good for the body. If they were all put away,

When you go to the dining table, don’t you have to pay for it if you have a bad stomach?”

Lan Tian stroked his beard and replied: "It all depends on how you select it. As long as you don't choose rotten, spoiled, or poisonous food, you probably won't get upset after eating it. It's like a winemaker filtering and processing, and the good ones will be sake."

, those with poor filtration or no filtration are called cloudy wines.”

"People have emotions, and winemakers also have likes and dislikes. How can Ziyu ensure fairness? I heard that they all use the same sieve. If the winemaker is tampering with the screening and sells the turbid wine as inferior sake as sake, it will eventually be affected.

The problem is the brewery. In the light case, it can be solved by compensating some property, but in serious cases, it may damage the sign." Zhuge Liang directly pointed out the subjectivity of the examiners, which is indeed an area where it is difficult to ensure fairness in the exam.

After listening to this, Lantian remained calm and slowly laid out his countermeasures, "It's actually very simple. First, you can extend the fermentation time of the grain to make the finished wine better at the beginning, and then you can add a few more rounds of screening.

Impurities, a winemaker may make mistakes easily, so how about using ten or a hundred?

Even if you can hide it from hundreds of people in the end, the wine served on the table will always enter the throats of the guests. If many people report that a certain jar of wine is shoddy wine, the owner can remove it in time to reduce losses, and then hold the winemaker accountable.

, won’t the matter be solved?”

Zhuge Liang nodded frequently when he heard Lan Tian's statement. When Lan Tian finished his statement, his frowning eyebrows relaxed and he praised: "Ziyu is really thoughtful, fully controlled from the beginning to the end, and there is also a process for canceling accountability. Indeed,

It’s a good wine-making method, but...”

"Just what?" Lan Tian frowned.

"Although your method is wonderful, the filtration method remains unchanged. If you are familiar with the brewing recipe, wouldn't all the wine turn into sake? If so, the market will be in chaos." Zhuge Liang's expression became solemn again.

"Hahaha, how can it remain the same? The method must be innovated every time the selection is made, and the number of bottles of sake selected in each round is also fixed. The winemaker can only choose the best from the best, and the rest can still only be treated as turbid sake, otherwise they will have to wait.

After the first screening, there will be no situation where there is too much sake that cannot be processed." Lan Tian chuckled softly.

"Are there no shortcomings in your brewing method? Are there any other advantages?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Lantian replied: "The disadvantage is that there are many types of grains involved in winemaking, which will occupy a large amount of the original winemaking grains. The advantages and benefits are also obvious, because there are enough raw materials for winemaking, which will make the entire wine market appear extremely prosperous, just like the garden.

Those flowers of various colors only compete to bloom to create such a wonderful scenery."

"The great kindness is that I don't know what the king will choose." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

Lan Tian's arguments have convinced Zhuge Liang, but the actual situation is so complicated now that it is difficult to change the situation where the gentry family is dominated in the short term. The final decision lies in the hands of Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to make a choice. There are three breweries on the market now. When the competitors are defeated, it won't be too late to unify the brewing method. But my Jiaozhou can do a pilot first, so that it can be compared with the traditional brewing method. Everything will be fine."

Just leave it to time."

Lan Tian did not recommend Liu Bei to fully implement it. After all, it takes time to build a school and train talents. The most difficult thing is to change the minds of ordinary people and children from poor families.

Zhuge Liang nodded and reached an agreement with Lan Tian. Liu Bei next to him listened and understood half of it, but Zhang Fei was completely confused by the conversation between the two.

"Ziyu is so proficient in wine making? Since you are so good at making sake, can you send hundreds of cars to the front line for me? I also want to taste the taste after several filters." Zhang Fei leaned his head over with doubts on his face,

Lan Tian immediately felt strong male energy coming over him.

Liu Bei held down Zhang Fei's hand and said, "Third brother, don't mess around. Ziyu and the military advisor didn't talk about the wine. If you want the wine, just transport it yourself from Chengdu."

"Didn't you mention wine? They never stop drinking." Zhang Fei scratched his head and felt that his IQ was being crushed.

"Although I talk about wine, the wine is not real wine. Ziyu said that officials are selected by officials..." Liu Bei shook his head slightly.

"What? When you talk about political affairs, you just talk about political affairs. Why do you use wine as an analogy? I had a good drink just now, but now I find that the wine in the glass is no longer fragrant..." Zhang Fei pouted and frowned.

"Well... General Li Yi has built a port on Zhuya Island in the past two years. He bought a lot of large oysters from the fishermen there. After roasting them, he sprinkled them with minced garlic and green onions. The delicious taste was really...

Tsk tsk...I will prepare some for you next time I go to Guangzhou..." Lan Tian changed the topic.

Zhang Fei swallowed his saliva: "You came to Chengdu without bringing any with you? You're just making me greedy with your talk. Ziyu, you're so unhappy..."

"In the conscience of heaven and earth, Zhuya's big oysters are originally produced in small quantities. They are easy to die when sent so far to Chengdu. It is shameful to waste delicious food..." Lan Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Well, it's indeed shameful." Zhang Fei nodded in agreement.

Zhang Fei's naive expression made everyone laugh. At this moment, Chen Lai came to the back garden and reported to Liu Bei with clasped fists: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Lan and Mr. Lan have been invited into the harem by the queen. She invites you and General Lan to come and meet."

"Okay, military advisor, you go and do your work first. Remember to come to the banquet in the evening. Ziyu, let's go too." Liu Bei stood up.
