Sugar liao, this is the ancient Chinese name for small sugar factory, under the auspices of Ye Kai's grandfather Ye Longxin, the sugar liao of the Ye family in Pattani is the largest number, the largest scale, and the most sugar in the entire Nanyang.

The two that Ye Kai went to today are the largest of the Ye family's sugar liao, which is about thirty kilometers away from the city of Beitani, surrounded by large areas of sugarcane forests, and it is very convenient to take local materials.

Ye Kai took Li Youwei and Li Ashui, who was renamed Li Fu, and followed his father Ye Fulai, and behind them there were almost a hundred orphans of the rebels, both men and women, all of whom were over twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with strong bodies, dragged their families, and had honest faces.

This was selected by Li and Wei for Ye Kai, and only she could select the most reliable and hardworking person from thousands of people in a short period of time.

"Father, let's choose this place!" Ye Kai turned around, looked at the surrounding terrain and said, This is a flat land on a mountain, as long as a few dangerous places at the entrance have to build a few fortresses, dozens of people will guard it, and thousands of people will not be able to come in.

"Can you do this? Can you really make that kind of sugar, which is as white as snow? Ye Fulai nodded, but there was still some doubt in his eyes.

He Ye Fulai can be said to have grown up in the sugar house, fat man, he must love sugar, so Ye Fulai understands the production method of white sugar, and what Ye Kai talked about is nothing less than a fantasy for him.

"Don't worry! The tools are already in place, and the finished product will be available in three days at most, so we'll wait here! ”

As the first time to practice, Ye Kai must be staring at the side, although he only got the knowledge from books, and he has never practiced it, but he is better than these people.

"That's good!" Ye Fulai nodded, "Lao Wang, a few of you go to assist the young master!" ”

Lao Wang is an old man who is almost fifty years old, he and several people around him are all 'dowries' brought by Ye Kai's grandmother, and they all work in the sugar house all year round, and they are the most trusted people by Ye Fulai.

。。。。

Pattani, Pattani Palace, which is full of Tianfang style and belongs to the royal palace of the Pattani Sultan, has become a mess.

In her twenties, she was a dark and swarthy queen with a typical Malay-looking queen, sitting on the throne in a white scarf and saying nothing, as if it had nothing to do with her.

In fact, it really has nothing to do with her, if it weren't for her uncles who didn't obey each other, this throne wouldn't have been her turn.

From the day she sat on this throne, Queen Quinnon did not feel the sweetness of any power, but was full of endless misery, and even his marriage, due to the disagreement of several uncles, she was already twenty-five years old, but she had not even decided on the marriage matter.

"We can't wait any longer, we must immediately expel the Ye family Tang people from Pattani, the King of Siam has canonized Ye Fulai's son as Luan, and has equipped him with a guard of five hundred people and thousands of armed slaves, this is the signal that the King of Siam is coming to annex us, we must strike first!"

Queen Quinnon raised her eyelids and saw that her second uncle, Adula Sha, the vice-chancellor, was frantically waving the scepter in his hand and shouting loudly.

"Nope! This cannot be the case yet, we must not anger the King of Siam, the Tang man who was named Chai Luang because he saved the son of the King of Siam from the sword of the Burmese.

Maybe the King of Siam hasn't made up his mind about what to do to us, and we can't give him any excuses, at least not until we have the support of the Britons and the Dutch! ”

A bearded fellow who did not look like a Malay at all also stood up and objected loudly.

"Yes! I think General Ibrahim is right when he says that we must not provoke the King of Siam, the army of the Siamese is not something we can fight alone.

Besides, the Ye family Tang people have hundreds of clan soldiers in the city, and we can't expel them anytime soon! Sitting on the right side of the queen, the emaciated prime minister of the Sultanate, Bagadur, said softly.

"But we can't help but be prepared, neither the evil Europeans nor these Kafir who believe in the Buddha can be trusted!

Baduka, you go to Pahang and Selangor, and tell the Prime Minister Abdul Mara of Pahang and Ibrahim Rajah of Johor that I have agreed to their terms, and ask them to help me recruit at least 2,000 warriors as soon as possible, for the sake of the Lord, and when these warriors arrive, we will first clean up the Chinese heretics in the city! ”

Bagadur looked in the direction of the Ye family's ancestral house, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't pay attention, and a strange light flashed in the eyes of a guard in the corner.

。。。。

The turbid liquid, which looks like a sediment like silt, Ye Kai saw unpurified sucrose for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be like this!

Around him, the crowd was busy moving ants, and in the past three days, no one had left the sugar house, and everyone's whereabouts were under mutual surveillance.

"Young master, the first batch of sugar will come out soon, the master will let you go!" Lao Wang ran over at a trot.

Today, the first batch of sugar is about to come out of the pot, what is the sugar doing, in fact, Ye Kai has no bottom in his heart, if it is only a little whiter than the sugar taken out by the yellow mud method, it is a failure, because Ye Kai's purification method is much more time-consuming and laborious than the yellow mud method.

"Master Hou, please take a look!" Li Youwei held a dustpan and handed it to Ye Kai.

"Success?" Ye Kai's voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Open it up and take a look!" The anxious Ye Fulai uncovered the white cotton cloth covered by the dustpan, Ye Kai didn't come just now, these people didn't let him, the head of the Ye family, uncover the cotton cloth, which made Ye Fulai feel a little uncomfortable.

The cotton cloth was uncovered, and Ye Fulai, who was still muttering, suddenly shook violently, and he looked at the small white particles in the dustpan in disbelief.

These little particles of frost and snow are piled up in the dustpan not like sugar, but like a pile of expensive pearl powder, and the hazel sugar grains he had seen before, completely different things, this is the fucking frosting, which used to be called brown sugar!

Ye Fulai cautiously stretched out a finger, he gently picked a little frosting into his mouth, sweet as honey, melted in the mouth, less rough feeling of yellow mud sugar, and the sweetness rose a lot.

Ye Fulai, who had a keen sense of business, immediately thought of the value, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Kai, "It's really successful!" Sure enough, it is my Ye Fulai's son, the ancestor has appeared, this is to make our Ye family go to the next level! ”

The Europeans had to buy 10,000 tons of cane sugar from the mainland and the South Seas every year, and the Ye family could only occupy a share of six or seven hundred tons before, and the bulk of it was also earned by the British and Dutch East India Companies and their brokers.

And if the Ye family has the real technology to make white sugar, then they will be in charge of the sugar business in Nanyang and even the entire Far East, which is a big business with millions of pounds of profits every year.

Thinking of this, Ye Fulai squinted his eyes and looked at the busy crowd around him, exuding a slight chill all over his body.

"Yiwu, seal this off for me, without the permission of me and Shuwu, not a single fly is allowed to fly out!"
