The little man is born to make money

"Your Majesty, the note from His Highness Wang An is in a hurry." Fu Quan respectfully presented a bright yellow memorial. Seeing that it was sealed in red, his expression changed, and he quickly handed the memorial to Emperor Qi Yuan. , But I couldn't stop guessing in my heart, what would actually make Wang An use the encrypted memorial.

Since King An was dispatched to the southwestern fiefdom, the relationship between the emperor and King An seemed to have dropped to a freezing point. Except for the annual Longevity Festival and New Year's Day, there were basically no memorials from King An.

However, things seem to have turned around a month ago when Prince An became a member of Shizi High School.First, Emperor Qiyuan began to pay attention to the movements of King An for so many years, and then King An often sent memorials, except for some trivial matters reported to the fief, the rest was to complain about his precious son to the emperor.

Every time Emperor Qiyuan read the scriptures, he would scold the bastard angrily, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped. If King An's scriptures were late that day, he would ask a few words instead, asking whether it was What's going on!

Therefore, this time, when seeing King An actually submitting the encrypted memorial, Fuquan, the thoughtful old eunuch, immediately felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't help but wonder if something big happened to King An or Prince An's son!

If Fuquan had been worried about the southwestern region before, the Northern Qiang would fight again, but since Emperor Tianqi succeeded to the throne, he has attacked the Northern Qiang three times in a row and directly drove the Northern Qiang out of the Central Plains territory. Start a war.In this way, aren't these two ancestors the only ones who can use encrypted notebooks?

Fuquan secretly prayed in his heart, but it must not be the accident of these two ancestors!Although it seems that Emperor Qi Yuan still has a lukewarm attitude towards King An, but as his confidant eunuch, who takes care of Emperor Qi Yuan day and night, can you not know what kind of temper this master has?After this period of time, Wang An has long coaxed this Long Live Lord into submission, and he likes it very much!If something happened at this critical point, the capital might cause another disturbance.

The moment Emperor Qi Yuan got the encrypted notebook, the smile on his face disappeared, and his original good mood fell to the bottom. His sharp brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the bright yellow memorial in his hand with serious eyes.

Looking at the ten lines at a glance, Emperor Qiyuan's eyes widened even more until he saw the last line: I am afraid that I will make mistakes, so I sent people to test it more than a hundred times to prove that this method is indeed effective.Sugar cane yields much more sugar than sugar beet, and the cost is low and the yield is huge.God bless father, if everyone can eat refined sugar, father will be famous in history, and a generation of sages will also...

Emperor Qiyuan's hands trembled slightly, and he read the memorial in his hand three times over and over again, and then he was sure that he was not dazzled. King An's memorial really stated that he had found new sugar-making materials and improved the sugar recipe, and It has been proven to be very effective!

"Good, good, good!" After saying three good words in a row, Emperor Qi Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, and said joyfully, "I never thought that King An would give me such a big surprise, and my preference for him for so many years is not in vain!"

"Fuquan, go and call Li Sheng and Fang Jun here immediately, I have something important to ask." Emperor Qi Yuan forced himself to calm down and ordered with a happy face.

Fuquan was startled, and immediately concealed his doubts, and quickly said, "Yes, I will summon the two adults." Li Sheng and Fang Jun are officials in charge of farming under the Ministry of Households. Emperor Qiyuan always paid attention to agriculture. However, these two officials are deeply favored.

However, why did Long Live summon the agricultural officials immediately after reading His Royal Highness King An's note? Could it be that the memorial sent by King An was related to farming?Fuquan murmured a few words in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was outrageous. When King An was in the capital, he was a great devil in the world. Not to mention learning farming, even asking him to read two more books seemed to kill him. , Could it be that after so many years, he has changed his sex?

Fuquan couldn't guess the key point, and hurriedly went to the Ministry of Households with the little eunuch to deliver the decree.

After the people left, Emperor Qi Yuan stood up and walked back and forth in the imperial study.The matter of salt and sugar has always been a national priority, and half of the income of the Ministry of Households basically depends on these two things.Don't look at the world is peaceful now, and the people's lives are good, but if you really want to say it, there is still one word, "poor"!

How poor is Emperor Qiyuan, so poor that there is only 30 silver in the treasury now!Fortunately, the weather has been good and the weather has been good these years, and there have been no natural or man-made disasters. Otherwise, the little money in the treasury would not be enough for disaster relief!Speaking of it, the treasury is so poor, and it's also because he was young and energetic and a little ignorant when he was young.When he took over the throne, the country had just stabilized, and with great efforts to govern, it finally had a little prosperity, but war broke out again in the north and southwest.

The Xiongnu and Northern Qiang thought that the new emperor of the Daxi Dynasty would inevitably have unstable internal affairs, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.Emperor Qiyuan was not like the previous emperors of the Xi Dynasty, either seeking peace or marrying, he just said "fight"!

He didn't let him go until the other party cried and begged to send his princess over to marry him!But the anger was exhausted, and the strength was exhausted. When I came back to my senses, I realized that the treasury was poor!

After a few years of war, the treasury, which was originally relatively rich, dried up by more than half in an instant, and then encountered three years of famine, floods in the south, severe drought in the north, anyway, all kinds of bad things happened to him.At that time, there were still rumors among the people that it was because of his military aggression that God was wrathful and the country continued to suffer from natural disasters.If he hadn't stood up stubbornly at that time, otherwise he would have been forced by Yu Shi's gang of old men to commit his crimes.

After so many years, Emperor Qiyuan wanted to enrich the national treasury, but he had no way to do it. Many decrees were promulgated to support businessmen, big and small, but the country's treasury was still only a little bit.

Just when he was about to give up, thinking that after a hundred years, his unlucky son would take over his mess, he didn't expect that the unlucky Wang An would think of a solution first!

New sugar recipes!

New sugar raw material!

What does this mean, this means money, this means silver, countless white silver is flying into his treasury with wings!

Emperor Qi Yuan was happy in his heart, but he still maintained his seriousness on the surface.If it weren't for the cautiousness of being an emperor for many years, he still thought that it would be best to find someone to verify it, otherwise he would have clapped his hands and applauded.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Li Sheng and Fang Jun rushed over, and saw Emperor Qi Yuan's joyful expression at a glance, looked at each other, and hurriedly saluted.

"Ai Qing, please get up quickly, two Ai Qings, come and see if what is said in this book is true?" Emperor Qi Yuan hurriedly got them both up, and then handed the memorial to Fang Jun.

After Fang Jun and Li Sheng finished browsing, they both looked shocked. Fang Jun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, is what King An said true?"

"I just want to hear the opinions of the two love ministers. It's a matter of the country, so I can speak freely." Emperor Qi Yuan said with a straight face.Although he knew that King An didn't have the guts to deceive him, he still couldn't help worrying, what if King An was also deceived?

"When Weichen served as the magistrate of Lingnan in his early years, he once saw farmers planting sugar cane, saying that it was eaten by the livestock in the family. But in fact, the sugar cane tastes sweet and has enough juice. Many farmers eat it as fruit. If the method is proper, It should be able to produce saccharin. But whether it can be compared with beets, I dare not say." Li Sheng stroked his beard and recalled.

With this prosperity, Emperor Qiyuan was almost sure that not only could sugarcane be used to make sugar, but the sugar yield should not be much different from sugar beets!

"You two lovers, I will leave it to the two of you to verify at this time. I am waiting for your good news!" Emperor Qi Yuan directly made a decision.

"My minister complies with the order." Li Sheng and Fang Jun led the order and retreated. When they left, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.The prince in Beijing has been silent for many years, but he never expected that the first to show up would be King An, who is thousands of miles away?
