When the purchase price of four copper coins and a pound of beet was passed out, in the Monto Empire, and even in the empires around the Monto Empire, a planting frenzy was immediately set off, you must know that the yield of beet is extremely high, and the beet here is like sugar cane on the earth, but the leaves are very soft, just like spinach leaves, of course, the leaves are not sweet.

In the past, because the beet is not resistant to storage at all, even the brown sugar boiled by the soil method can not be stored, so the planting area of sugar beet has been very small, just a snack and vegetable for civilian families, and sugarcane is different, the height of sugar beet can be three meters high, and the edible part is as high as two meters five, thick enough to be as thick as Nanzhu, so the yield is very high.

And sugarcane almost only needs to be planted once, each time after cutting the roots, the roots will send out a puff of buds again, leaving thick shoots, and the rest will go anywhere, generally it will take five years to throw away the roots and replant, and compared with grain, sugar beets are more drought-resistant, waterlogging, and there is no big problem with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, and in this place of the Monto Empire, there is no problem with harvesting two seasons a year.

The yield of grain per mu is only a few hundred catties, and the yield of sugar beet is almost dozens of times, so almost overnight, all the large and small nobles of the Mengtuo Empire eradicated the grain in the field and then planted sugar beet.

Gerry has a big opinion on this, because the sugar beet planting area is too large, Gerry is very worried that the factory is too busy, and Cook smiles, because Cook knows what a huge market he is about to face, the territory of the sea tribe is several times that of the land, and the land occupied by humans is only a fraction of the land, so Cook is not afraid of planting more people, it is a big deal that Cook will open a few more production lines.

Cook focused on the installation and commissioning of the snow sugar production line, and all kinds of raw materials were piled up in the factory's warehouse, bidding charcoal, purchased sugar beets, and some other raw materials, barrels and so on.

Finally, a few days later, the production line was installed, and the next step was to debug, one production line required six magic apprentices, but Cook placed twelve apprentices, because Cook implemented a two-shift system, which can be said to be the first time in this world.

The six magic apprentices are mainly responsible for clarification, which will add some potions, which is conducive to the decolorization of the beet juice that is squeezed, and the boiling, the temperature is the key, if the temperature is high, I am afraid that it will become caramel, the boiling is mainly to crystallize the sugar solution, and then to separate the water, of course, on the way Cook will add some juice, and then make zuò into various flavors of fruit sugar.

After several experiments, the first batch of snow sugar finally came out, but Ku Ke made Zuò is a thumb-sized square, after all, the sugar cube is small and the sea tribe lives in the water, and it is afraid that it will melt when it sees the water, so Ku Ke Zuò is a white sugar cube, and there are also fruit candies of various colors.

"Oops, forgot about the packaging. "Cook only found out this extremely strict problem after the sugar was produced, you must know that this is for the sea tribe, and it is transported in the sea, so the packaging may need to be specially customized, in this world without plastic, it is still very troublesome to ensure the effect.

Cook flashed countless plans in his mind, the first was the crystal bottle, and soon Cook gave up, because the crystal bottle was too expensive, and the price was not the key, but Cook couldn't buy so many crystal bottles at all.

The second is wood, Cook also shook his head and gave up, wood is still easy to be soaked in the seawater, and seepage, if it is not seepage, the treatment process is more troublesome.

Both options were rejected, and Cook then thought of using wax, but this world is all natural wax, and there is no industrial wax at all, so this material is still not enough.

"That's right, oiled paper!" Cook finally thought of a simpler package, oiled paper.

However, Cook faced another problem, that is, he had to build a factory to produce paper, although there is paper in this world, but it is extremely inferior and of little use at all, and the most used in this world is a thin paper made of parchment, called parchment.

Parchment paper is troublesome, and the price is not cheap, several silver coins a piece of paper, Cook wants to make the kind of general paper, and then this paper is brushed on the paper with waterproof oil, the earliest oil paper is used to make umbrellas in ancient China.

There is a lot of wood in this world, but the wood used to make paper needs wood with good fibers, but these are not difficult for Cook, and the tung oil originally used to make zuò oil paper, Cook decided to use the grease of Warcraft, the price of low-grade Warcraft grease is very low, but the waterproof performance is very good.

Moreover, the applicable oil paper can also be packaged separately for sugar cubes, which is more conducive to sales, after all, it is impossible to say that the sea tribe wants to eat sugar like on land, and it is unrealistic to eat it slowly after opening.

Cook can do what he wants, and there is a time short, Cook had to go to the shipyard again, there is the largest forging machinery in the continent, and now the shipyard has developed into a large town within a radius of dozens of kilometers, not to mention anything else, hundreds of horse-drawn carriages for transporting ore every day, as well as fuel, and living materials and other things, and now the shipyard has more than 20,000 dwarves.

Due to the urgency of Cook's request, the forge first gave Cook the machinery to produce paper, mainly the machinery for making zuò pulp, and in just two days, the machinery for making zuò pulp was built, and Cook returned to the port with the machinery non-stop, fortunately, the plant was ready-made.

Hundreds of dwarves and thousands of human workers were busy for three days before the machinery was installed, and then Cook began to make zuò pulp, and Cook's acquisition of fresh plants also surprised many people, but in the face of a copper coin and three catties of plants, people didn't have time to think about anything, of course, Cook bought the five poisonous plants.

However, Cook made a small change, that is, he only bought the branches, not the trunk, mainly because the branches made pulp quickly, and soon a few days later, the paper in this world came out, although it was a little thick, and a little rough, but after brushing the refined Warcraft grease, the waterproof performance was first-class.

Then Cook added some dyes to make yellow, green, red oiled paper, corresponding to different flavors of fruit sugar, now several production lines have been fully opened, every day can produce more than 1,000 catties of various sugar, snow-white sugar cubes, green mints, red Yanguo sugar, purple grape flavor sugar, as well as milky milk candy and other varieties, flavors.

Samples of various sugars were also unanimously approved by the members of the Snow Sugar Trade Association, and this meeting was the third meeting of the Snow Sugar Trade Association.

"Guys, now that the ship is about to be built, how are you all thinking about taking a stake in the ship?" asked Cook.

"Lord Baron, we have all decided not to get involved in transporting and selling. The head of a large family in the lead replied, because Cook's factory price for sugar is a silver coin, that is to say, a thumb-sized piece is worth a silver coin, and a pound of sugar cubes is worth more than thirty silver coins, and the beets needed to make a pound of sugar cubes are only three catties, and the cost is only twelve copper coins, plus the packaging fee of a copper coin, and the cost of making five copper coins, the price of a pound of sugar cube is less than twenty copper coins, how much profit is this, more than a hundred times the profit, almost one hundred and fifty times the profit, of course, this price is only known to the members, and those who plant alliances will not know, this is a tacit understanding of everyone.

As for the transaction with the sea clan, everyone present knows that it is a huge profit, but it is still that sentence, it is too risky, you must know that the ships built by Cook are at least hundreds of millions of gold coins, and if you buy shares, it will be at least millions of gold coins, but the dangers of the sea Everyone present knows one or two, in case something happens to this ship on the way, it is that there is not a single copper coin left, so everyone present is wise not to participate, after all, one hundred and fifty times the profit is enough.

"In this case, then you need to worry a lot about the affairs of the snow sugar factory in the future, I will settle with you once a month, but I hope to have 3,000 tons of goods in half a month. "Cook doesn't know what these guys think, but since these people don't want to get rich, Cook won't force them.

"No problem, Your Excellency, you can take care of it. "Everyone's eyes lit up, you must know that a catty is worth thirty silver coins, that is to say, three catties is a gold coin, three thousand catties is three thousand gold coins, and three thousand tons is six million catties, more than two million gold coins, this is the amount of a trade, and how much snow sugar can the Mengtuo Empire produce in a year, this is the trade of hundreds of millions of gold coins, and the original members who participated in the shares and did not have the right to vote secretly calculated, and they regretted it in their hearts.

Cook left these things behind, and then rushed to the shipyard, because the ship was about to go to the sailing test, during which Cook spent tens of millions of gold coins to clear the large rocks in the Damurray River, thousands of mercenaries and water magicians, and several guards patrolling the banks of the Damurray River to clear the water monsters.

Cook's big ship is powered by steam, that is, there is a huge water wheel behind the butt of the ship, and the water wheel is also made of white iron, and when Cook stepped on the big ship, he also felt a lot of emotion.

The deck is made of wood, and the frame is made of white iron casting, but the building above the hull of this ship is only two floors, because this is to resist the strong winds in the ocean, and there is a wide cargo hold below the deck, but the cargo hold is also separated from the cargo hold, each cargo hold is separate, and the form of a watertight compartment is used under the hull.

At the back of the hull is a huge boiler for propulsion, don't underestimate this boiler, most of the castings are doped with magic metal, which can be said to be hardness and toughness, which is extremely good.

Of course, there is a large amount of coke piled up in the hull, and this boiler also uses a magic pattern array, when necessary, you can use magic crystals or magic cores to increase speed, of course, this ship is not commercial, in the hull building, there are fifty magic crystal cannons, and more than two hundred giant crossbows, it can be said that it is a full hedgehog, and in order to defend against the magic beasts in the seawater, the engineering bombs produced by the dwarves have also been converted into depth charges, and there is also a magic pattern magic array on the ship, which can detect large magic beasts within ten kilometers, so the cost of this ship is not cheap。

"Lord Baron, you can get started. "A gnome ran up to Cook in a huff, this was the chief engineer in charge of building the ship, a gnome mechanical master.
