People should eat less. Because when a person is hungry, there is only one worry. But when they are full, there will be countless troubles. In the final analysis, the things in this world are mostly just eating enough to support them.

There are many ways to divide human needs, among which Maslow's five-level theory is the most famous. He divides human needs into physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.

Marlows believes that physiological needs are the lowest level that people pursue, which is the most primitive and basic requirement that people need, such as food, drink, clothing, shelter...

This can be said to be the bottom line for maintaining a country. Once one or more of people's physical needs cannot be met, the country will be in turmoil and even an uprising will break out.

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

This is both an unavoidable need and a huge motivator for people to act, and of course the bottom line.

In history, many ancient rulers were good at taking advantage of this. They created one after another internally unbreakable structures in order to last forever and last forever.

It's a pity that all those dynasties were easily invaded by foreign enemies after losing all the dividends of their predecessors, and there are countless examples of the elites collectively rebelling.

The most typical of these is Mexico, a country that once had the same opportunities as the United States, and even had better resource allocation than the United States. In the end, the elite collectively surrendered to the "drug dealers".

The second is security needs. People hope to have a stable job and stable income, life and property can be guaranteed, and they will be free from disasters and wars (at least not the side that was slaughtered)...

But whether it is five-level classification, seven-level classification, nine-level classification, or three-level classification, physiological needs are the primary needs of people.

Although killing all the enemies and defeating all the heroes is very cool, but it is not what Franz really wants.

If possible, he is still willing to help others, even if people in the future will say that Franz is not a hero, and he will not hesitate to obliterate his achievements.

Bohemia, Pearson.

In 1516, Duke William IV of the Duchy of Bavaria promulgated the "Beer Purity Act" in the German region, stipulating that beer in the German region can only be made with four raw materials: barley malt, hops, water and yeast.

This is the first time in human history that beer has been defined in the form of law, but today in 1842, this law is obviously not appropriate.

Industrialization has penetrated into various fields, and the beer industry is no exception. The appearance of Pilsner beer in Bohemia represents the beginning of the industrial revolution in the beer industry.

The German part of Austria is subject to the Purity Decree, however there is a large amount of land in the Reich that is not subject to this law.

In fact, the main purpose of the "Beer Purity Act" is to collect taxes, not to make beer taste better or make it safer to eat.

One of the biggest drawbacks of the "Beer Purity Act" is to make the taste of beer in Germany monotonous and severely restrict the development of the beer industry.

The reason is very simple. To brew beer, you must first have food, and it must be fine grain. It is difficult for people who are not nobles or rich landowners to do this. This eliminates a large number of possible competitors, and of course kills them with their own hands. many possibilities.

This is also an important reason why the beer revolution did not break out in the historic German region, but in the Bohemian province of Austria.

In 1842, several well-known brewers, including Joseph Gourol, were hired by Franz with a lot of money to complete the Pilsner beer that spanned the era.

At the same time, he also invited a young man from France, Louis Pasteur.

Different from traditional ale beer and porter beer, in the traditional ale process, the yeast is in the upper layer of the wort, and the temperature required for fermentation is slightly higher, generally 10-20°C.

After fermentation, there is no further treatment. This kind of beer is easy to "sour" and has a short shelf life. It is fine for ordinary guests in taverns, but it is simply a nightmare for sailors sailing at sea.

Moldy food, algae-grown drinking water and sour beer, rats and maggots everywhere made early nineteenth-century sailors miserable.

Pilsner beer adopts a new lager process, the yeast is in the lower layer of the wort, and the temperature required for fermentation is relatively low, generally lower than 10°C.

After fermentation, it can be filtered and pasteurized, which can greatly extend the shelf life of beer, unlike traditional ale beer, which has a shelf life of only ten days and then becomes "sour beer".

Even the porter beer that the British are proud of has a shelf life of no more than three months, while specially processed pilsner beer can be stored for more than a year.

At the same time, the industrialization of Pilsner beer has a huge advantage. It can not only be brewed with traditional malt, hops and water, but also can use various cheap raw materials such as rice, corn, starch, cassava, sucrose, and rye.

Doing so can not only save costs, but also greatly enrich the taste of beer. As for the low alcohol content, the taste is slightly lighter, which is in line with the requirements of the emerging bourgeoisie to drink without getting drunk.

In contrast to the traditional Ayer process or the Porter process, malt, hops, yeast and water must be used for brewing. This kind of winemaking is not only expensive, but also has strict requirements for workers, otherwise it is extremely difficult to guarantee the quality.

Even if it is beer produced by the same brewery, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com often has huge differences in taste. Therefore, for a long time, beer was regarded as a drink that should not be served on the table.

In fact, the winery does not care about brewing locally to ensure the quality of traditional beer. On the contrary, in order to increase production and enrich the taste for centuries, brewers have been adding strange things such as horse urine, foxtail and beech to the beer. As for the matter of adding water, it is fundamental, so there is no need to elaborate.

The advantage of the industrialization of Pilsner beer is that the fermentation time is short, usually one week, while traditional beer takes one to two months, or even longer.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but the quality is not guaranteed.

Finally, and the biggest advantage, is the price.

As the number one producer of beer in the century before the 19th century, the price of beer in Austria is already very low. The price of a pot is usually 5 groschens, which is equivalent to 0.166 florins, and the cost is about 3 groschens.

After a series of reforms, the cost of Pilsner beer can be reduced to less than 1 groschen. The huge price difference is enough for Franz to beat all the beer merchants in North Germany to death.

At this time, the beer production of the Austrian Empire ranked second in the world, at 1.396 billion liters per year, more than the sum of Britain and France.

Slightly less than the combined 1.589 billion liters of other member states of the German Confederation.

However, although the beer industrial revolution occurred in Austria in history, it was eventually carried forward in Britain and the United States.

Franz is not going to repeat the same mistakes, he wants to promote the beer of the Austrian Empire to the world.
