"Brother Qianfu, what if I associate the shochu workshop with the inner storehouse?" Wang Ju asked. —].

"What?" Zhang Qi was surprised.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Since ancient times, can there be a public-private joint workshop?" Zhang Qi asked rhetorically. The vault was a royal business and an official business. That is, this "joint venture" method does not conform to the rules. It's either public or private. Or like the Song Dynasty's law, if you buy the government's wine koji, salt and tea money, you can even give you credit, but you are responsible for your own profits and losses, and it has nothing to do with the government.

Zhang Qi said again: "And isn't this very good, when it comes to the inner storehouse, there will be a lot of unfreedom." ”

This was the second reason for his opposition.

Now the money is in the hands of the Li and Zhu families, or Wang Ju, no matter which one is in the hands, you can use it yourself, you can fund the state, the civilian use, and the military, and you can use it as you want, and you are not afraid of greed.

When it comes to the inner storehouse, God knows how much money will come in handy in the end, and it is not free to use it.

"No, there aren't enough people."

"Not enough homo economicus? If you can be trusted, I will write back, our Zhang family still has some economic people. ”

Not every chapter of the Zhang family has a good life, for example, Zhang Dian is a hard-working child, but Zhang Qi was born with red roots and is quite prestigious in the Zhang family.

"You Zhang family can't do it either," Wang Ju said categorically. The Zhang family's manpower is enough, but maybe all the people who know how to trade will be transferred to him together?

"Zi'an, what exactly do you want to do?" Zhang Qi asked strangely.

"That's right," Mr. Wang said.

"Zi'an, you are Wenchen. You can't control this. If it's a little money. Just take care of it. Guanjian: Where did you get so much money out? Even if there is, you can't come out, if it does, you'll have a big problem. Zhang Kai kindly persuaded that it was really a real thing to raise private soldiers.

"Brother Qianfu, I'll open the skylight and say something. Cai Gong understands military affairs, but he is also old. ”

"yes."

"Not only is he getting older, but Sun Wei was just a little bit behind Di Qing. He entered the Privy Council, he made such a great contribution, but he continued to stay on the border, was he unwilling in his heart? What about Western Xia again? The Western Xia lost Suizhou, and the country was established from the Western Xia, not from Li Jiqian, only from the territory seized by our dynasty, when did it lose the territory? They weren't doing well the year before, and they didn't recover last year. I'm afraid it won't work this year, but by next year I'll be able to almost recover my vitality. Do you think they will retaliate? ”

"I'm afraid so."

"The Northwest is still not at peace. But the imperial court was after the Duke of Cai. Who will be selected as a border minister? ”

"You ......"

"I can't escape, but you can't escape either. But it's forbidden. Overwhelmed, such a huge army, is it a pity not to use it here? ”

"I still don't quite understand."

"If you and I can fix this, what will the soldier think? Brother Qianfu, think about Wu Qi's use of soldiers. ”

"Really Bought ......"

"Buying a ghost, do you want to rebel? This is called winning a little favor in advance," Wang Ju said, and the teacher began to instill the art of war to Cai Ting, and later Cai Ting brought this art of war to the imperial court, which is the origin of the art of war, and Wang Anshi also didn't know much about it in military affairs. However, the art of war has come out, and the forbidden army has not yet gotten better, and it is rotten to the bone.

"Brother Qianfu, do you say that thousands of years later, the world will know more about Li Xin, or will they know more about Di Qing?"

"Di Qing," Zhang Qi said with a wry smile, in fact, from now on, few people know about Li Xin.

In the history of Song Lizong's painting of heroes and gods in Zhaoxun Pavilion, there are Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, Pan Mei, Li Xin, Wang Dan, Li Jilong, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Han Zhongyan, Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Chen Kangbo, Shi Hao, Ge Yi, Zhao Ruyu 24 people.

Wang Ju is indistinct.

Xue Juzheng just barely got in, why did Shi Xizai also go in?

Even Zeng Gongliang, Han Qi, and Fu Bi have all entered, what about Kou Zhun? What did Han Zhongyan do? Could it be that he is Han Qi's son? Sima Guang can be regarded as a disciple and grandson, why can Qin Hui's henchman Lu Xihao also be included. Zhang Jun can be lined up, what about Yue Fei, Wu Jie, and Yu Shiwen?

However, some people are more accurate, such as this Li Xin, who overpowered Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian, in fact, in the rule of Xianping, although Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian were famous, they were far inferior to Li Xinzhi's contributions.

But the Song Dynasty is such a baby Li Xin, Wang Dan is a miniature version of Li Xin, but compared with Li Xin, his resourcefulness is far inferior.

Li Xin's credit, Wang Ju is clear, and Zhang Qi is also clear. But where can the common people know?

"I did a good job in Wenzhi, but my martial arts are too inferior, and I will leave my name in the annals of history, you and my ears, and that Wang Shao."

Zhang Qi was also a little excited about this, but he shook his head: "Zi'an, if I didn't pour cold water on you, this is more than a million yuan of money." How much soju do you have to sell to raise money? ”

"It's not a ...... of soju" Wang Ju shook his head, this regional protection policy for liquor has made soju bitter, the market of the Song Dynasty is the largest market in the world, and it cannot be sold in this market, and the profit will always be limited.

"I see, that snowflake candy and rock candy."

Mentioning the name of this snowflake candy, Wang Ju laughed and laughed, the Song Dynasty had sucrose products, and the high-grade was frosting, which was actually a kind of colored rock sugar, followed by stone honey, sugar juice and starch, and gray-yellow lumps boiled from alum, and the other was to sell sugar water directly, and press sugarcane into sugar juice for sale.

No granulated sugar, no white sugar, and no rock sugar.

Therefore, at a very young age, Wang Ju thought of sucrose. However, at that time, he had limited resources in his hands, so he could only think about it, but he couldn't do it.

It wasn't until the cotton began the year before last that he thought of sucrose again.

But at that time, he was faced with a puzzle, that is, the best frosting was not the frosting in Lingnan, one was the frosting in Suining, Sichuan, and the other was the Siming frosting in Zhejiang. Panyu frosting on Guangnan East Road is the most inferior frosting.

This made him suspect that the sweetness of Lingnan sugarcane could not keep up now.

However, it may also be another reason, that is, it must be very cold weather to effectively precipitate the sweetness.

At the time he was just a guess. Unless he uses the special foot of the imperial court. In a short period of time, the sugarcane of Siming was sent to Quang Nam. Compare the two. Even then, in the case of little difference, because of preconceived ideas, maybe Ge Shaohua will still think that Siming sugarcane is very sweet.

However, although the record in "Tiangong Kaiwu" is very short, only about 200 words, it also says four words, after winter old cane, that is, it must be soaked in cold weather. It's a good time to take sugar, but there are three words in front, Min Guangnan, does the kind of winter in Guangnan also work?

If it doesn't work out, let's try it first.

Because it must be soaked in winter, it comes out relatively late, and it is not transported to the capital until before the end of the year, and it is still transported by fast horse, otherwise it will be even later.

The method is also simple. All of them are made in accordance with the method of "Heavenly Creation", and the effect is not very satisfactory to Wang Ju.

However, through the reflection of the people. The people of the Song Dynasty were satisfied.

After arriving in the capital, rock sugar was still rock sugar, but the sucrose made Zhao Niannu change it to snowflake candy. This name made Wang Ju speechless.

But it's the opposite of frosting, the purker the better, and the grayer the worse. The whiter the better, the softer the sugar, the worse brown, and only one-twentieth of the sugar is truly white and flawless.

If you want to be whiter, that is, industrial sugar, in the Song Dynasty, there was no such condition, or there was that condition, but Wang Ju did not know its technology. The same goes for glass, and if you really burn sand, you can make good glass, that's weird! This one is not simple.

"Brother hostage, how do you know?"

"Your little concubine deliberately sent someone to give me a little to try."

"She sent it?" Wang Ju couldn't stop crying and laughing.

"How much does that sugar cost?"

"You have to see it, this kind of cane and snowflake candy is the whiter the better, twenty catties of less than one catty of real jade-colored sugar grains, four catties of white sugar grains, five catties of light yellow sugar grains, five catties of brown sugar grains. The brown ones are very poor and not very sweet. On average, a pound costs about six or seven dollars. Because a lot of egg whites are used in that kind of rock sugar, the cost will be higher, about 30 yuan a catty. But this is only an approximation, and it depends on the cost of local sugar cane and other materials. ”

"It's going to be a huge profit." Zhang Qi said.

Why, because a pound of high-quality frosting is often calculated consistently, even the next little frosting will cost hundreds of dollars a pound.

At least in appearance, that kind of rock candy is obviously much better-looking.

"Rare things are expensive, and if there are more, they are also not expensive." Wang Ju said.

"Like the kapok?"

"Brother Qianfu, you also bought it?"

"Clumsy Jing was afraid of the cold, and when he saw this thing, it smelled good, so he bought two beds. How much does it cost a bed? ”

Wang Ju said with a strange expression: "Strictly speaking, it costs only four hundred yuan for a bed." ”

"Oh, these people are really black."

"Brother Qianfu, don't complain, the sale in Guanzhong is not expensive, only twenty guan, and the capital finally became thirty guan."

"If it's this kind of profiteering, then there's still a play."

"No, I originally planned to plant this year, first of all, there is a cost problem, then we must reclaim the fertile land, and finally the people who migrate, the cost is insufficient, the time to reclaim the fertile land is urgent, the three divisions set up the Kapok Division, the relocation is nervous, these three are restricted, and the scale is not big. But I didn't have any other plans, a little smaller, and I didn't care. But Yao Lin desperately said that I can have a way. ”

"How dare he think about it."

Of course, it is also a good thing to make good use of this kind of worship and trust, but it does make Wang Ju feel embarrassed at the moment, he continued: "But I want to think about it, there is another way. That is, it joins forces with the inner repository and does not need to be planted. ”

"Zhejiang cane and Sichuan cane?"

In that case, manpower is an issue, dealing with the locals is another problem, and cost is also an issue. If the repository is involved, these problems can be solved. And if the inner treasury is involved, I won't worry about someone impeaching me for raising private soldiers. ”

"Zi'an, but this is not in accordance with the rules."

"It's not that I asked you."

Zhang Qi walked a few steps, still feeling that it was difficult, and finally said, "You'd better ask the official family." ”

But he took a few more steps.

"Brother Qianfu, what else do you want to say?"

"It's another thing, I didn't plan to take care of it, and I didn't have the right to manage it, so it's better to plan more than less, but you said it, and I can't help but say it."

"What's the matter?"

"Horses."

"Horses?"

"I received a news that some forbidden soldiers sold their war horses privately."

"What," Wang Ju's face immediately changed. (To be continued......)
