after being kidnapped by the general

After seeing the sugar cane, Yuan Li was overjoyed, and he took the sugar cane away, leaving the remaining merchants to Guo Mao to deal with.

He asked Guo Mao to drag these businessmen for a while before leaving, just to take advantage of this time to make sugar.

As long as white sugar is produced, it is easier to make money than soap, and it can make money longer.

If you talk too much about soap, what you sell is novelty and delicacy. Without soap, there are saponins and bath beans.But sugar is an important commodity for trade. Whether it is in times of war or peace, the price has always been much higher than that of salt, and it is something that only the rich and nobles can eat.

Only those who have the money to buy sugar will definitely be willing to pay for some sugar to eat.Especially the businessmen in the south, they have a lot of rich people.Yuanli remembers that the reason why the food in Suxichang, Yangzhou and other places is sweet is that the local wealthy people use sugar as the capital to show off, and they like to add sugar to the food to show their wealth. Over time, local tastes have been formed.

Seeing that all the ways to make money are in front of him, how could Yuanli let it go.

He asked people to pull the sugarcane to the workshop that had been prepared, took out the prescription that the system had given him, and started to boil white sugar.

To make white sugar, you have to make sucrose first.

The most difficult step in making sucrose is to squeeze the juice. Squeeze the stems of the sugarcane to extract the juice, boil it over low heat to make syrup, put the syrup in a mold and cool it down to get sucrose.It is not difficult to make sucrose, the principle steps do not need to be informed by the system, and Yuan Li knows it.The hard part is how to turn the reddish sucrose into crystal clear white granulated sugar.

Yuanli stayed in the sugar workshop for two days, and his whole body smelled sweet.

When he was dating his boyfriend at night, Chu Hechao tasted the sweetness as soon as he kissed his neck.

"No bath?" Chu Hechao took another sip, "It's so sweet."

Yuanli's neck was sweating, and Chu Hechao made several light marks.The surroundings were silent, and the hot wind blew past, Chu Hechao's head was kept downward.

Yuan Li's eyelids twitched from being kissed all over, and he looked down, "What are you doing?"

Chu Hechao said shamelessly, "I'll give you a mosquito pack to stop itching."

Yuanli didn't reply all of a sudden, "What mosquito bag?"

Chu Hechao touched it, and laughed jokingly, "That's right, this mosquito is really poisonous, it seems to have bitten you, and the two bumps are so swollen, it hurts me to see it."

Yuanli: "..."

The man lowered his head to cure the "mosquito bag", he went to the other side after relieving the itching on one side, he tasted it loudly, fighting poison with poison, Yuan Li's ears turned red with embarrassment.

While feeling ashamed, Yuan Li felt sad at the same time.

A man's desire is so strong, if it's really sexual, what's the deal?

Yuanli glanced at Chu Hechao's pants from the corner of his eye.

Looking at it makes people feel scared and feel that it can't be done.

Yuanli was very worried.When I gave him hands, I felt heavy. After the last kiss, my throat hurt for a whole day. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuanli felt a little embarrassed because it was too exaggerated.

If it was a real battle, he would probably bleed like a river.

Thinking of this, Yuanli lost the interest to go further with him.

When the two of them were sweating from playing, they stopped, and Yuan Li took the clothes to take a bath. Chu Hechao slipped in quietly and watched his daughter-in-law taking a bath, and he had to turn around and change the direction. stare.

"Le Jun," he looked at the wooden door, his plump forehead, high nose bridge and thin lips outlined a neat side profile, and asked patiently, "When are you willing to sleep with me?"

Some of the water in Yuan Li's ladle spilled out, and he pretended not to hear it, but Chu Hechao asked again.

"..." Yuan Li said, "Brother, do you know how to sleep with a man?"

Chu Hechao's expression was stern, but his words were very vulgar: "Use your back."

Yuan Li also said directly: "But if I'm not prepared, I will definitely get hurt."

He paused, and added: "It will probably hurt and bleed."

Chu Hechao frowned, thinking that Yuan Li would be injured because of this, he immediately lost his mind about it.He stood silently, watching the door for his wife.After Yuanli took a shower and got dressed, the two walked towards the room one after the other.

Yuanli was in front, Chu Hechao was behind, and there was a long distance between them, so that people could tell at a glance that they didn't come all the way.

Looking at Yuanli's back in front of him, Chu Hechao felt that his heart had never been so stable.

Yuan Li could feel the gaze on his back, and with a faint smile, he went back to the room so slowly.

One is walking and the other is following. Although they are not together, they seem to be walking side by side.

The next day, a messenger from the capital brought the news that Emperor Jianyuan was dead.

In the 50th year of Jianyuan, on March 29th, Emperor Jianyuan died of illness on his bed, and passed on to his second son, Qin Yan. The second prince, who was only 12 years old, ascended the throne in April, and changed his year name to Zhou Yan, and became Emperor Zhou Yan.

Yuanli and Chu Hechao acted like they were shocked and flustered when they first heard the news. The messenger didn't wait long after delivering the news, and immediately rushed to the Karasuma people to deliver the news of Dibeng.

Yuanli calmly prepared the mourning for the emperor, and it was better than he imagined. Because the northern border was too far away, it took two months for the news to spread, and there was only the last three months of mourning for Emperor Jianyuan. moon.

Half a month later, more and more news reached Youzhou.

Few emperors were stupid emperors, and Emperor Jianyuan was not stupid either.The reason why he promoted the eunuch was to suppress his relatives, and the reason why he suppressed the party members was to see through the cancer of the aristocratic families under the swaying imperial power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.But Jianyuan Dikong had ambition but no ability to match him. Before he died, he realized that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was at the end of his life, so he appointed three of his confidants as the assistant ministers of Emperor Zhou Yan.

However, within a month, the three ministers were beheaded and killed by their relative Li Li on various charges.The last minister was frightened, took the initiative to resign due to illness, and left the court with the young and old.

After the death of Emperor Jianyuan, Li Li could hardly wait to show his fangs. He took control of Luoyang's garrison and recruited General Yan Taboo, who stationed [-] troops in Luoyang, making Emperor Zhou Yan a veritable puppet emperor. .

Li Li didn't even bother to hide his face as a treacherous minister, and the eunuchs mainly in the prison house were persecuted by him.The eunuchs fled and killed, and everyone who had challenged Li Li's authority died under the sword.

There were also ministers in the capital who expressed dissatisfaction, but the minister who raised dissatisfaction was directly beheaded by Li Li in front of Emperor Zhou Yan, and the 12-year-old emperor fainted on the spot from fright.

When the people of the world heard about this, they immediately scolded Li Li as a thief!

This is clearly a bastard and unscrupulous thief!

After hearing this, two of Yuanli's subordinates——Liu Jixin and Guo Mao's eyes lit up, and they shouted "Hello" in their hearts!

Great, this is simply too good.

If no one comes to be the villain, then how can their protagonist be a good person who eliminates evil?

But they all know that now is not the time for them to take the lead.

They have to wait a few more years, and a few more years.When Li Li's notoriety became bigger and bigger, his behavior became more and more rampant, and when others couldn't bear it, that was the time when they first showed their edge.

But now, the two uncles of Emperor Zhou Yan, Yuzhou Qin Pei and Jingzhou Qinmeng, have not moved yet, so they are naturally not in a hurry.

Shangcai County, Runan County, Yuzhou.

Inspector's House.

Qin Pei is discussing with his advisers how to deal with the Luoyang change.

Qin Pei is now in his 40s, and at this time he is crying, "What will the emperor do now? He will be twelve, and he will undergo such a big change. This old thief Li Li is trying to plot my Northern Zhou Dynasty!"

The counselors wiped away their tears together.

Qin Pei cried heartbrokenly, and after crying, anger welled up, he drew out the big knife on the table and was about to walk out the door, "As the Qin family, I can't let that traitor get what he wants, I have to personally Go chop off that traitor's head!"

The counselors immediately stopped him, "My lord, no!"

"Then Li Li has tens of thousands of soldiers guarding inside and outside Luoyang, and the emperor is also in his hands. This matter can only be discussed in the long term. You must not be so impulsive."

After persuading for a long time, Qin Pei dropped his sword and knelt on the ground. Two lines of tears flowed out again, "Could it be that I, the emperor's uncle, can only watch my Northern Zhou emperor being bullied like this?"

The counselors all knelt down.

In the silence, someone said: "Of course it can't be like this."

A well-mannered young man came out on his knees. His name was Xiang Hongyun, and he was one of the most intelligent and astute counselors under Qin Pei's command.

Xiang Hongyun's face was calm, and after analyzing the pros and cons of the world, he said, "You should send a letter to Mr. Qin Meng of Jingzhou to discuss how to deal with the traitor. At the same time, you should also issue a campaign against Li Li, an old traitor, so that the Everyone in the world knows what he has done to be unfaithful and unrighteous, and let the people in the world know your heartbroken heart and love for the emperor, but you have no power to do so, so you can only gather the strength of all the heroes in the world to discuss it together."

Qin Pei has been persuaded by him, he sighed in despair, and stood up from the ground, "Then listen to what you said, go and write a letter to Qin Meng first."

Xiang Hongyun looked at his decadent and bent back and the white hairs in his hair, and withdrew his eyes. When he walked out of the governor's mansion, he looked at the gloomy sky, sighed, and said to himself: : "This Lord is not my Lord."

Qin Pei obviously didn't dare to attack Li Li, but he had to express his opinion, so he made such a show in front of them.After Xiang Hongyun finished speaking, he keenly captured the look of relief on Qin Pei's face.

It is right not to attack Li Li at this time, but as a member of the royal family, Qin Pei's anger is on the surface, he only fears the enemy, and hides in this Yuzhou, what else can he do in the future?

People are not sages, so they will naturally have a heart of fear and fear.Xiang Hongyun was not afraid that he was afraid of Li Li, but was disappointed that Qin Pei really couldn't raise any anger and hatred against the enemy, he was useless, indeed he was extremely useless.

Xiang Hongyun already has the heart to leave.

But if he leaves, who should he go to?

Xiang Hongyun thought about it a few times in his mind, thinking of Wu Shanshi of Yizhou, Liu Quan of Bingzhou, Lu He of Yizhou, and the governor of Youzhou Yuanli who had recently become famous and was constantly praised by the great scholar Zhang Liangdong.
