The dignified Liang Guogong was shocked by Liu Chun's words and almost fell down!

Say you're fat, you're still panting!

Lan Yu's brows furrowed, "Stinky boy, these are all canal boats, how did they all become yours?" ”

Liu Chun hurriedly waved his hand, "Liang Guogong, don't talk nonsense, I hired it, and I really spent the money, I don't believe you go to the river yamen to ask!" ”

On the other side, Xu Miaojin jumped up and down from the boat, and it was the fourth brother Xu Zengshou who greeted her.

"You little girl, you are really ruthless, you have been gone for more than a year, and I don't know how to come back to see the fourth brother!" Xu Zengshou said, his eyes were red, he circled around his sister several times, and said unhappily: "It's too big, it's too thin, look at it, there is only one left of the face." ”

In the past, Xu Zengshou's favorite thing was to pinch his sister's face, which was fat and felt good. It's just been separated for a year, and my sister already has the bearing of a big girl, her face has also lost weight, and she put down her hand halfway.

"Sister, what are you doing with so many ships?"

"Of course it's business!"

Xu Miaojin smiled and said, "Fourth brother, do you want to earn some pocket money?" ”

Xu Zengshou couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, I can give my brother money...... How much are you going to give? ”

"One hundred thousand!"

Xu Miaojin stretched out a finger, "100,000 pieces of iron, sickles and hoes, iron pot kitchen knives, everything." Sell a piece for five cents, 500,000 yuan, are you interested? ”

500,000 bucks!

On ordinary people, it may be a lot, but Xu Zengshou is Xu Da's son, and this money is enough to drink a meal in Qinhuai River at most.

"Sister, you also know that my brother is too lazy to do business," Xu Zengshou said without .......

Xu Miaojin smiled lightly, "Oh, I see! It's okay, I originally left my brother a fur and medicinal herb business, since my brother is not interested, I'll go and discuss it with others! ”

"Wait!"

Xu Zengshou is not a fool, he read a different taste from his sister's playful gaze.

"That...... Sister, what did you all bring with you, it wouldn't be just ironware, would you? ”

Xu Miaojin smiled, "First of all, the imperial court has taken Liaodong and Daning, what are these two places rich in, the fourth brother won't know it, right?" ”

"There are furs, ginseng, sea dongqing, wood, and dongzhu!"

"Plus one more, gold!"

Xu Miaojin said with a smile: "Brother-in-law found a few gold mines according to the map left by Guo Shoujing back then, and the current five thousand taels of gold before the year!" ”

"Five thousand taels!"

Xu Zengshou was tempted, "Is there anything else then?" ”

Of course there is, and the rest is oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and soybean meal, which are all good things to feed livestock...... By the way, from next year, there will be sugar! ”

"Sugar?" Xu Zengshou suddenly became interested, "Sister, is it caramel candy?" ”

Xu Miaojin shook her head, gritted her teeth and smiled: "Frost candy, the best kind!" ”

Xu Zengshou opened his mouth wide all of a sudden, this is really a big source of wealth!

At present, there are two kinds of syrup and sucrose on the market in Daming.

The so-called starch syrup is fermented from rice and wheat, which is roughly understood as maltose.

This is a very common source of sweetness, which is made in almost every house, and it is not expensive on the market. Compared to the West, which regarded sugar as a luxury, our ancestors were much smarter.

As for the other one, which is sucrose, the price is outrageous.

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, China borrowed the process of cane sugar from India, and soon the blue was better than the blue, and it was possible to produce cane sugar on a large scale.

In the Yuan Dynasty, almost all major cities had cane sugar for sale, and the price was fair.

In fact, sugar prices in China have been stable for a long time.

It's just that things have changed in the Hongwu Dynasty.

In order to recuperate and restore the people's strength, Lao Zhu made a stern decree to plant grain widely in various places, the mulberry trees in the south of the Yangtze River were cut down, and the sugarcane in Lingnan and other places was also compressed to a very low level.

This trick was absolutely correct at the beginning of the country, but after 20 years of development, especially in the Jiangnan area, people began to have some savings.

And once people have money, the first consumer goods that increase rapidly are sugar!

At present, the best frosting candy can only be bought for about 30 catties for one or two silver in Yingtian.

"Last year, fifty catties was only one tael of silver, and look at this meaning, it's not far from doubling." Xu Zengshou said: "Sister, can Liaodong grow sugarcane?" Then you're going to get rich! ”

Xu Miaojin said disdainfully: "Fourth brother, sugarcane needs to be planted in a place with plenty of rain and heat, how is it possible in the north!" ”

"So, where did you get the frosting?"

"Stupid! Who told you that you can't squeeze sugar for anything other than sugar cane? ”

"What else?" Xu Zengshou really didn't know.

"Beets!" Xu Miaojin smiled and said, "Brother, I bought 100,000 acres of land over there in Daning, all of which are used to grow sugar beet." It's just that it takes two years for sugar beets to be squeezed, and this year there is no more, and you have to wait until next year, which is really nerve-wracking! ”

Xu Zengshou's focus is all on 100,000 acres of land, and the whole person is not good.

"I said third sister, how much money do you have now?"

Xu Miaojin tilted his head and thought about it very seriously, "There are not many, if you count the shares of the steel plant, all of them can be discounted, and you can buy half of the palace at most...... However, now the discount will be lost, and many workshops will double their value when they make a profit next year! ”

"Then you'll be able to buy the palace, right?" Xu Zengshou shouted.

"It depends on what the eldest brother means, he won't mind if he wants to sell me!"

……

Xu Zengshou felt that he had suffered heavy internal injuries, and he had to stay away from this girl, so he came to Liu Chun's side, and when he listened to it, he felt that the internal injuries were even more serious...... Liu Chun is talking to Zhu Biao and Lan Yu!

"At present, there are 200,000 horses in the Daning Dusi...... There are less than 20,000 war horses suitable for cavalry, and if the imperial court wants to ensure that there are enough cavalry, I think it should invest heavily in Daning and Liaodong to build horse farms...... Of course, if the imperial court thinks that it is not worth spending so much effort just for the sake of war horses, it may also place an order with my horse farm to supply tens of thousands of war horses every year, which is not a problem. ”

Liu Chun patted his chest at Lan Yu and said, "Liang Guogong should know that I am a person who works hard and is genuine!" ”

It's the real deal!

The price will never be ambiguous!

"Okay, just come here and talk about your business scriptures everywhere, don't forget that this is ...... summoned by Your Majesty" Lan Yu said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, let this kid go to my place to rest for a day, add some rules to him, don't be embarrassed to see Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Biao was a little regretful, he originally wanted Liu Chun to go to the East Palace, but it was inconvenient for the foreign official to live in the East Palace...... Let's wait for my father to summon me!

"By the way, you give this to Mr. Luo for me, so that he can rest assured that with this, no one in the capital will arrest him."

As he spoke, Zhu Biao handed a mutton fat jade to Liu Chun.

What the prince gave out, can it be bad?

Liu Chun grinned bitterly, grandma's, she was messing around, she might as well be a novelist, so she just hid the jade pendant privately.

Zhu Biao turned around to leave, and remembered things again.

"Seeing that my father is right, don't worry too much, I'll pass."

This sentence really helped Liu Chun.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Biao was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and hurriedly returned to the East Palace.

Xu Miaojin was pulled by the fourth brother and must go back to Xu's mansion.

Liu Chun looked around, either to the Lan family, or to the pavilion...... "That Liang Guogong, I'll still find someone from Honglu Temple to tell me the rules, so I won't bother......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lan Yu stretched out his arm like iron pincers and held Liu Chun tightly.

"Boy, you can't run, follow me back to the house!"

The blue jade thief smiled sheepishly, his godsons were embraced, how did this posture make Liu Chun feel a bit like the king of the mountain robbing his daughter-in-law!

Liu Chun was almost escorted by Lan Yu to the mansion of Liang Guogong.

Jumping out of the carriage, Lan Yu pulled him inside, and all the guards saluted.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the other side.

The majestic blue girl carried two rabbits in her left hand, a wild goose in her right hand, a pheasant feather in her head, and a charcoal-red fox on horseback.

Even the two thin dogs held their heads high, as if they had returned victorious.

"Dad, look, how many things I've hit and come back!"

Lan Yu's old face instantly became extremely exciting......
