Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Tao Han felt a little disappointed for a moment.

Without him, this business is not easy to do, let alone make any money.

It is human nature to like sweetness, and sugar making is naturally a promising business.

In Daning, there are only three ways to obtain sugar.

One is to make honey water from honey. The risk is extremely high, the output is extremely low, and the price is extremely expensive. It is the enjoyment that dignitaries deserve.

The second is to boil germinated grains into maltose, which is commonly known as maltose.

The third is to use sugarcane to extract sugarcane juice, and then further produce light yellow granulated sugar or icing sugar (rock sugar), but the yield is extremely low, and it is generally used for medicinal purposes.

Jiaozhou is a famous sugarcane planting area in Daning. Tao Han guessed that Xiao Jie probably wanted to make good use of this advantage in Jiaozhou to make sugar for profit.

The Tao family has the largest Zhitangfang in Jiaozhou in Panyu, but after trying many methods, the sugar production has not been able to increase, and they can’t make much money throughout the year. There were rumors within the Tao family that they wanted to close the factory. The voice of the sugar mill.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry for the blunt words of the little girl, sugar making is not easy, I'm afraid it's not easy to earn money." Tao Han tried his best to euphemistically tell Xiao Jie that sugar making business is not easy to make money.

But Xiao Jie laughed: "It is because it is not easy for others to make sugar that they can make big profits."

Tao Han couldn't help being taken aback, as if he understood Xiao Jie's meaning all of a sudden: "Your Highness means..."

Xiao Jie smiled mysteriously: "What if I have a way to greatly increase the production of sucrose?"

"The sugar production is of course profitable." Tao Han blurted out, with a slightly excited expression, and he didn't ask Xiao Jie how a prince who doesn't work hard knows how to make sugar.

Now she has a kind of blind superstition towards Xiao Jie, thinking that since Xiao Jie can increase the degree of wine making, he naturally knows how to increase the production of sucrose.

But after that, no matter how coquettish and cute Tao Han was to ask, Xiao Jie still played tricks, just expressing that everything will be resolved when he arrives in Jiaozhou.

Tao Han flew to Jiaozhou in an instant with a heart, only hated that the cars and horses were too slow, which prevented him from reaching Panyu for a long time...

……

After several days of ups and downs, Xiao Jie and his party finally arrived at the state capital of Jiaozhou, which is also the county capital of Nanhai County, Panyu.

Li Rui, the governor of Jiaozhou, was ordered to lead an army into Jiaozhi to suppress the rebellion. Officials in Panyu city, big and small, went out to meet Xiao Jie in person.

But it's not that the upheaval in Xiangyang's officialdom has spread to remote Panyu, but that Xiao Jie has the title of imperial envoy, and this local official doesn't want to offend him anyway, lest he be jealous of Xiao Jie when he was a child and return to Beijing to join them. That's troublesome.

What's more, they all know that Xiao Jie is the prince, if they win his favor and win over him, and after returning to Beijing, they will have a chance to be transferred from this unshitty place of the Southern Barbarians no.

There is no way, although Panyu is the Guangzhou of the later generations, but in the Daning Dynasty, it was just a land of southern barbarians far away from the Central Plains. It is difficult to teach when fighting becomes popular.

Except for Li Rui, the governor of Jiaozhou, most of the officials in Jiaozhou were demoted to Jiaozhou because of defeat in court battles or committing crimes. .

After Xiao Jie exchanged pleasantries with these officials, he declined them to take care of him, and he did not stay in the post house, but stayed in the Tao family's other house in Panyu City, because the Tao family's largest sugar factory in Jiaozhou was nearby. square.

As for the Qingzhou soldiers who came with him, it happened that the governor Li Rui led most of the soldiers to Jiaozhi, and the barracks outside the city were also vacant for a while, just to accommodate Xiao Jie's more than 1000 Qingzhou soldiers.

Ye Qiu led a hundred Qingzhou soldiers to live in Tao's house, so that they could guard Xiao Jie at any time.

Ye Qiu looked at Tao Han's shy appearance as a little daughter now, and she was completely different from the lingering sadness on her face when she just left Xiangyang. What Miss Tao said made her change so much.

In the end, Ye Qiu could only sigh with emotion, the king of Qi is the king of Qi, how could the methods of flirting with girls be comparable to ordinary people like himself.

As soon as Xiao Jie settled in Tao's house, Tao Han immediately came to him and asked Xiao Jie to take him to a nearby sugar factory to see how to greatly increase the production of sucrose.

Although Tao Han is a woman, she is still a businessman in essence, and there is nothing that excites her more than making money.

What's more, she still saves a dowry for herself, which is related to her status in the mansion after marrying into Prince Qi's mansion, so she is even more concerned about it.

Xiao Jie smiled and handed Tao Han a blueprint of the honey separator, and asked Tao Han to instruct the people in the sugar factory to find someone to build this honey separator first, and specifically instructed Tao Han to keep it secret. , must not be leaked.

Even if Xiao Jie didn't talk about Tao Han, he knew it well, how could he casually reveal something that could help him gain huge profits.

But Tao Han still has some doubts in his heart. Can such a strange-shaped device really greatly increase the production of sugar?

Xiao Jie put the sugar production aside for the time being, and began to arrange for disaster relief. With the grain that the Tao family dispatched early, the shortage of grain in Jiaozhou was greatly alleviated, the price of grain gradually stabilized, and the people's hearts became more and more stable. The situation has gradually stabilized.

As an imperial envoy, Xiao Jie was stationed in Panyu. Not only did the local officials in Jiaozhou not dare to embezzle and embezzle relief food, they even behaved more positively than the other. You can transfer away from Jiaozhou, which doesn't shit.

On the other hand, Xiao Jie also ordered Ye Qiu to intensify the training of Qingzhou soldiers, ready to fight at any time, because he knew that the news of Li Rui's defeat and death would spread to Panyu soon, and that would be his chance to send troops to fight.

In addition, Xiao Jie also persuaded Tao Han to send people to Xiang County and Yulin County to buy up land and hire local Yue people to plant sugar cane.

Tao Han is a little strange, she thinks that as long as she concentrates on sugar production, why should she buy land to grow sugar cane, and even if she buys land, why not buy it around Panyu, where there are many people and bustle, but go to a place farther away, more remote and more dangerous? Buy land in Xiang County and Yulin County.Xiao Jie had no choice but to tell her that monopoly is the most profitable business, and the only way to be at ease is to control the raw materials in his own hands. As for why he went to Yulin County and Xiang County to buy land, Xiao Jie didn't know how to explain it. It can’t be said that Guangxi is a famous sugarcane planting area in later generations, and the sugarcane planted has more sugar.

Fortunately, Tao Han didn't continue to question in the end. Although he seemed to understand but half understood, everything was done according to Xiao Jie's intention.
