Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 55: Huashan Sutra Library (First Update)
"Production?" Chu He frowned.

Brewing Gyokuro wine in an outside winery is naturally not like brewing it in a white jade wine pot. It only takes a month to brew a batch.

Instead, it takes a full three months.

Similarly, in the medicinal material breeding bases of the six major base cities, the medicinal materials needed to brew Yu Lu wine can basically only mature once every three months.

However, the quantity of Gyokuro wine produced in these three months is much larger.

A batch of medicinal materials were all brewed into Yu Lu wine, and the total output has reached three million bottles.

Converted to monthly, it means a monthly output of one million bottles.

It barely reaches the efficiency of a large ordinary brewery.

Currently, Yulu wine is mainly produced domestically. Given Jia Yi's status and position, it is impossible for him not to know the specific production volume of the six wineries.

This isn't something worth keeping secret.

Also, what does the production of Yu Lu wine have to do with the so-called big business?
Normally, the military would not be able to consume a million bottles. Moreover, even if they could, the total price would be a huge sum.

Therefore, what Jia Yi referred to as “big business” did not mean “exclusively for the military.”

Combining the previous series of words, Chu He had a vague guess that this meant he was asked to sell all the Yu Lu wine domestically, and it would be best if not a single bottle was leaked out.

Thinking of this, Chu He no longer had any doubts in his heart, and tentatively asked, "The production of Yu Lu wine is not low, and one million bottles can be produced every month."

"If that's not enough, I can also build herb cultivation bases in base cities in other countries around the world. I estimate that it will be no problem to reach a monthly production of 10 million bottles. Does the military need that much?"

"Ten million bottles? So many?" Jia Yi was also stunned.

I was trying to figure out what Chu He meant by this.

Even though China's population has recovered to some extent now, with each of the six major base cities having a population of 13 million and the national population approaching billion, the number of warriors among them is very small.

Jia Yi had already known from the last national census that the ratio between warriors and ordinary people was nearly ten thousand to one.

Therefore, the total number of warriors in the country is only 13.

There are nearly seven billion people in the world, but the total number of warriors is only over 700,000.

Not to mention the amount of 10 million, even if the production is one million bottles per month, it is enough for every warrior in the world to have one bottle per month.

Of course, if the student level is included, it is barely enough for the whole country's consumption.

"So what this kid means is that the quantity is enough?" Jia Yi was a little unsure and just looked at Chu He quietly.

Seeing Jia Yi's silence, Chu He thought for a moment and then said, "Councilor Jia, I understand what you mean. Such a good thing cannot be supplied directly to the world."

"Do you think this will work? One year."

"For three months, I will not sell Gyokuro wine directly in the other 17 base cities, citing production and safety concerns."

"Within six months, I will establish medicinal herb planting bases in the other 17 base cities, and then start supplying them to the outside world in limited quantities."

"One year from now, we'll officially start global supply. How do you think?"

"Good! Very good!" Jia Yi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "Talking to you is so transparent. I understand immediately."

"That's a good idea. Not selling it directly, but limiting the supply... Hey, that's really good."

"That's right, China just needs to seize this opportunity."

"That's right, Chu He, you're really good!" After the matter was resolved, Jia Yi looked at Chu He with a smile, "You helped me so much, I can't not thank you."

"How about this, when you have time to relax, come and visit Huashan in Kyoto Base City. Let me tell you, to learn martial arts, you need to learn from the strengths of many schools."

"My Huashan may not have much in other areas, but our collection of books is definitely the best in the world. It's just that the kids nowadays only want to study advanced secret manuals, and no one is willing to delve into the study of internal martial arts anymore."

"Of course, if you want to see the secret manuals, they are also available in the Huashan Sutra Library, but there are not many of them." "Sutra Library?" Chu He became interested as soon as he heard it.

That’s Mount Hua!

The various books collected by the whole country...

In fantasy novels, it can be regarded as an ancient holy land.

"That's right." Jia Yi still had a smiling expression on his face.

"Boxing, weapons, grappling, internal martial arts, as well as ancient books on Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, military science, medicine, agriculture, and other schools of thought."

"Of course, if you don't like ancient books, there are also thesis databases of top universities."

Jia Yi casually described a series of his book collections, which made Chu He even feel excited.

"Sure enough, when it comes to classics and articles, the official collection always has the largest."

This is a huge treasure trove!
"Councilor Jia, I wonder if there's a time limit or a limit on the number of times I've entered?"

"Hahaha, this is the country's reward for outstanding young people like you. How could there be those things?" Jia Yi laughed happily.

In any case, it is gratifying for the old man to have a little one who knows how to learn.

After the two martial arts schools were established, whether it was for the purpose of fighting against monsters or the idol effect of the two peerless masters, Hong and Lei Shen, the emerging secret manuals gradually became popular in the world because they were more scientific, had higher limits, and many other reasons.

This was the trend of the times, and Jia Yi was powerless to change it, nor did he want to fight against it. He even took the initiative to advocate and educate his disciples, encouraging them to adapt to the new world.

But!
Those ancient martial arts, those ancient classics, those volumes of wisdom from our ancestors with a smell of decay, are the spiritual pillars that support their older generation in passing through the great nirvana and rebuilding a new era.

Jia Yi still felt regretful to see it just sitting in the library gathering dust year after year.

As planetary-level beings, many of Jia Yi's old friends have reached the end of their lives.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer people want to find someone who can discuss the wisdom of their ancestors.

Now that he had met Chu He, who was so to his liking, Jia Yi felt really relieved.

"Come, walk with me." Jia Yi picked up the wine glass and looked at Chu He with a smile.

Chu He poured ginseng wine into the cup, which was just what Jia Yi liked.

"Great! This kind of wine is still tasty. And that passion fruit juice, isn't it just fruit juice?"

"It's good for beauty and blood circulation, which is exactly what young people my age like." Chu He said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm increasingly feeling that wine needs to have more flavor."

Jia Yi seemed not to have heard this, and immediately changed the subject to ask something else: "Is the recent regulation of your Jiuzhou Group true?"

"Which one?"

"That one, the one about the general manager must reach the level of a war god within three years, and all employees must become warriors."

As Jia Yi spoke, his brows furrowed. "Are you planning to open a new martial arts school?"

"Time is so short, be careful not to let people become unstable!"

"As long as I'm always better than them, and as long as I'm the one paying them, what's the problem?" Chu He smiled indifferently. "It's just some wine recipes. Even if someone really learns them and secretly spreads them around, it doesn't matter."

"As long as I'm here, Jiuzhou Group will always have new things."

"Hong never hides anything, does he?"

"Hmm, very ambitious!" Jia Yi's clear eyes became somewhat cloudy, very complicated, "It seems that I am old after all."
