The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 283 Can't Be So Stupid (Thanks "Sunny")
time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of March in 186.

The fields in Ngai Hing City are busy. In this season full of vitality and hope, everyone's heart is full of joy and joy.

It has been more than two years since Liu Yi came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Today's Liu Yi is a little more indifferent and steady.

Every day I insist on practicing martial arts, Wu Qin Xi, archery, marksmanship and so on.

Under the guidance of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, Liu Yi's military strength has improved again, not to mention reaching the peak of second-rate generals, and it is no problem to fight more than a hundred times with ordinary second-rate generals.

"Shhhhhh!"

The three white-feathered arrows all accurately hit the slowly moving bull's-eye 50 meters away.

Liu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face full of relief.

Hitting dynamic objects is far more difficult than static objects.

It's not easy!

Liu Yi also has self-knowledge. Although he insists on practicing martial arts every day, most of them are for self-protection.

The upper limit of his talent is there, and he will not be able to reach the level of a peerless general until he dies.

For the sake of his own life, he will try to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible, and leave the charge to his subordinates!

He has a specialization in art, and it is more reliable for him to use the way he is good at to seek happiness for the people.

Liu Yi handed the bow and arrow to the guard.

At this moment, Dian Wei rushed in excitedly, and said excitedly:

"My lord! Yuanhong is back!"

Zhang Ling is back?
Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly followed Dianwei to meet Zhang Ling.

It has been nearly half a year since Zhang Ling and Liao Hua went to Jiaozhou to make sugar.

Now that Zhang Ling is back, he also wants to know how they are doing in Jiaozhou.

"Lord!"

Seeing Liu Yi coming in a hurry, Zhang Ling hurried forward to salute.

"Yuan Hong has been exhausted all the way, thank you for your hard work!"

Liu Yi held Zhang Ling's hands tightly, his excitement and concern were beyond words.

Touched by Liu Yi's sincerity, Zhang Ling felt warm in his heart, and said:

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern!
Fortunately, Ling and Yuan Jian did not disgrace their lives, and they have gained a firm foothold in Jiaozhou under the double awe of courtesy first and soldiers later.

The number of sugar factories has gradually increased, and sugar production is on the right track! "

"Work hard Yuanhong and Yuanjian continue to expand our influence in Jiaozhou!
When we free up our hands to attack Jiaozhou in the future, the two of you should be the first. "

"Thank you my lord!"

Zhang Ling's heart warmed when he heard the words, Liu Yi treated him well, and in this life he will work hard to repay Liu Yi.

He first carefully reported the results of the past six months to Liu Yi:
"My lord! Over the past six months, I have been studying Wa Liu in depth, and finally made Wa Liu more perfect.

The servants are also more skilled in the purification techniques. Now white granulated sugar can not only be mass-produced, but the quality of white sugar has also been greatly improved compared to the earliest...

Of course, there were several safety accidents during the production process, which damaged several servants! "

Safety accidents are inevitable.

Liu Yi also knows that there are certain risks in sugar production.

Sugar is delicious, but one falls into the sugar pile...

I just hope that everyone will be more careful during the production process in the future, and try not to cause casualties and damages!
After Zhang Ling reported the situation, he continued:

"My lord, although white granulated sugar is very popular in the market, it has also violated the interests of many aristocratic families.

Therefore, sales to various places are frequently blocked.

In order not to conflict with aristocratic families from all over the world, Ling had no choice but to transport the [-] catties of white sugar she produced first, and wait for the arrangement of the lord!
It is estimated that the white granulated sugar produced in the future will also need to be transported back to Yixing City first, and then we will make calculations. "

Aristocratic families from all over the world obstructed?

This is a problem!
Liu Yi understood that what he had thought earlier was still too simple.

His strong rise has indeed made the aristocratic families fearful.

But once their interests are involved, multiple families will not be afraid of him if they join forces.

Thirty thousand catties of white sugar is not a small amount.

As long as they operate properly, they can start their name and occupy a place among the merchants in the world.

For the current plan, perhaps only by winning the imperial business can we sell white sugar and new products in various places.

At that time, he can stop worrying about money.

After all, as the population of Yixing City increases, Liu Yi cannot support so many people without earning more money.

"Let's go! Take a look at the white sugar first!"

Liu Yi led the crowd to the big warehouse.

Looking at the piles of sacks piled up in front of them, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

So much white sugar?

Liu Yi casually unwrapped a bag, and suddenly the snow-white white sugar caught everyone's eyes.

Everyone's eyes widened!

"My lord, look at these again!"

Zhang Ling also untied a bag while speaking.

"This……"

Liu Yi's eyes lit up.

The white sugar in the bag he opened earlier was obviously not as pretty as Zhang Ling opened it.

The white granulated sugar in front of my eyes is as white as snow, so fine that there is no trace of impurities.

"These are white granulated sugar obtained through refined processing. The quality is excellent. It will definitely be of great help to us to sell white granulated sugar if you have Zhang Ren to walk around for us!"

"Ah."

Liu Yi nodded in agreement.

There are only a few years left in Zhang Rang's heyday, and he should squeeze out the last trace of his value before he is destroyed.

This refined sugar is almost catching up with the white sugar of later generations.

It is perfect to use it as a stepping stone.

After receiving Liu Yi's affirmation, Zhang Ling continued to introduce the white sugar category to Liu Yi:

"Ling divides the white granulated sugar into several grades according to the fineness of processing, targeting different groups of people.

That is, white granulated sugar is specially provided, and white granulated sugar of the upper, middle and lower grades.

In this way, our target customers can take into account ordinary people, ordinary wealthy families, wealthy families, and even courts..."

Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help admiring: "Yuan Hong is still thoughtful."

"I don't know, how does my lord plan to set the price?"

Dian Wei asked excitedly.

"How do you say we should set the price?"

Zhang Ling was a little worried and said:
"Nixing City will definitely not be able to digest so much white sugar.

I'm afraid it will go bad if left for a long time, so I should find a way to sell it as soon as possible! "

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

These are all money, they can't be wasted in vain!

Liu Yi pondered for a moment, then said to Zhang Ling:

"Looks like Yuan Hong will have to work hard to find Zhang Rang again!

You tell Zhang Rang that I plan to set the lowest price for white sugar, I believe he will know how to do it! "

Lowest consistent?
Everyone present thought Liu Yi was crazy!

With such a high price, will anyone buy it?

"My lord, will the price be set too high?"

"Yeah, ordinary people can't afford it at all."

There was a lot of discussion.

Liu Yi smiled but said:
"not tall!
We can sell it for tens of dollars in Ngai Hing City, but we can’t sell it for such a low price outside Ngai Hing City.

The aristocratic family is afraid that we will seize the civilian market, so we will take the upper-class boutique route first, strategically abandon the civilian market first, and give them a hard time first. "

"But they wouldn't be so stupid, would they?"

Dian Wei felt a little unbelievable.

The rich and powerful are not being taken advantage of, the price of white sugar is set so high, will they really buy it?
