"Zu Yuan, His Royal Highness King Xing is very satisfied with the dancer you sent! You've done a good job! In fact, Xiao Yao is also very satisfied, those dancers themselves are also enthusiastic, you must know that you are also a 14-year-old little virgin!

"If it weren't for Childe's guidance, how could I have trained such a stunner, if Childe likes it too, I'll immediately arrange some new ones for Childe." Zu Yuan smiled like a turtle.

"That's not necessary, you know, I'm a decent gentleman who doesn't sit still!" Xiao Yao cheekily boasted to himself and continued: "Now the development of General Motors is going well, right? How's the progress of the opening of the school that I told you last time? ”

"Hui Gongzi, everything is going well in the firm, and the matter of the school is prepared by Master Li personally, and now the enrollment and teaching have begun! When the poor families heard that their children could go to school and read and write, they all kowtowed to thanksgiving. Zu Yuan said.

"Very good, in addition to teaching them to read and write, the school should also teach them the principles of behaving in the world and being loyal to their lord! Teach them well with my doctrine! "Xiao Yao attaches great importance to children's education, especially ideology.

"Don't worry, Childe, Master Zhou has already instructed me, so I even taught those gentlemen once before letting them go to the academy to teach!" Zu Yuan also knows the importance of education.

"Then I'm relieved! In fact, I came to you this time to ask you if you want to go to Jinling with me! Xiao Yao asked.

When Zu Yuan heard this, he immediately returned to his serious appearance, and said, "Childe is finally going to Jinling!" Of course, Zu Yuan wanted to follow Gongzi to Jinling, and he would meet that Yinhai Commercial Bank for a while! ”

"Oh, how do you know that going to Jinling is to meet Yinhai Commercial Bank for a while?" Xiao Yao asked knowingly.

"General Commercial Bank is already the largest trading house in Jiangzhou, although the iron workshop is still improving, it can already create a steady stream of all kinds of iron tools, and the fleet has also monopolized the Jiangzhou section, so it's time to go to Jinling to meet the largest trading house in Chen Guo for a while!" Zu Yuan was a little excited.

"Clever! So what are your plans to go to Jinling? Are you sure? Xiao Yao continued to ask.

"Hui Gongzi, if we want to enter Jinling, if we still use the traditional business of salt and iron, although the ironware of the iron workshop is already a little famous, but Yinhai Commercial Bank has been operating in Jinling for many years and has a solid foundation, we have to compete with them, we can only increase investment and win by price!"

"But now the books of General Commercial Bank can only maintain the balance of payments, and there is really no more money to fight a price war with Yinhai Commercial Bank. Unless Childe comes up with some more treasures, hehe, with sufficient funds, we will be more sure! Zu Yuan showed his treacherous smile again.

"Sure enough, it's a profiteer, and he wants to make money but doesn't want to contribute! I don't have any rare treasures, but I have one! Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

"I know that Gongzi is a bamboo in his chest, and he already has a corresponding strategy, otherwise he wouldn't have rashly asked me to go to Jinling!" Zu Yuan patted his ass and said.

"Do you know Sucrose?" Xiao Yao asked.

"You know, is Gongzi trying to use sugar to break into Jinling?" Zu Yuan asked in surprise.

"That's right! I'm ready for you to set up a generic sugar factory in Jinling! Xiao Yao nodded and said.

"General Sugar Mill? Childe, using granulated sugar to break into Jinling, it is indeed a good idea, those granulated sugar transported from Tianzhu are hard to find in Jinling, only the emperor's relatives, dignitaries and nobles can afford to use it, if we have a way to make sugar, I dare to guarantee that our general firm enters Jinling, as stable as Mount Tai! "Zu Yuan knows a lot of information.

"Good! With such a guarantee from you, I can rest assured, now it is almost August, which is also the time when sugarcane is ripe (in ancient times, August was around October in the Western calendar), you immediately arrange people to go to the south and buy sugarcane in large quantities! Then choose a site in Jinling to open a sugar factory! Xiao Yao commanded.

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away! Although Zu Yuan still has a lot of questions in his heart, after Xiao Yao's brainwashing, he has become a loyal subordinate who resolutely executes orders, and he will definitely not ask if he shouldn't ask!

In fact, the ancient method of sugar making did not develop rapidly until the Tang Dynasty and Tang Taizong sent people to India to learn the method of sugar making, and it was only in the Ming Dynasty that the white sugar that was relatively close to the modern people were familiar with.

The manufacturing process of white sugar is also relatively simple, that is, the sugarcane is juiced, and then the cane juice is heated to obtain syrup, and then the syrup is clarified, purified and decolorized, and white sugar can be crystallized.

The most important thing in this is purification and decolorization, the purification and decolorization method used in the white sugar manufacturing process in the Ming Dynasty is to add lime milk to the cane juice to clarify the cane juice, and then heat and boil to obtain a considerable concentration of syrup, pour it into the funnel and pour the yellow mud from the top, and use the yellow mud as an adsorption decolorizing agent to prepare white sugar.

Xiao Yao added a modern process to the sugar making process, that is, after the cane juice was clarified with lime milk for the first time, sulfur dioxide was added, and the syrup was bleached by using its bleaching properties, and then the lime milk was added again to neutralize and then heated for the second time, and finally the syrup could be decolorized and crystallized with yellow mud to obtain white sugar.

Nowadays, people eat sugar, only those maltose, and honey, or more upscale, use brown sugar, which is the rough product obtained by drying sugar cane juice.

Therefore, Xiao Yao believes that with these white sugars, which are as pure as frost, crystal clear, and much cheaper than imported goods from India, they can cause a sensation in the world like the glazed ware back then!

With this killer move, even if you are new to Jinling, you don't have to be afraid of any Yinhai commercial house if you have no foundation!

。。。。。。

"The young master is really the chosen one, and he is favored by the gods, versatile, and even knows the method of making sugar, there is nothing in the world that the young master does not know, and his subordinates are really admired!" Ang Lee is working on his sycophancy skills again.

"Of course, how can you be your young master without two brushes! Using my sugar making method, the white granulated sugar produced is the best that even the imported goods shipped from Tianzhu can't compare! Sweet as honey, white as frost, fine as sand, granulated sugar, easy to store and transport, you will be shocked when you see it! Xiao Yao also enjoyed Ang Lee's sycophancy.

"When the time comes, with this exquisite thing, we will be able to do the same as when we had glass treasures, and we will not have to worry about the source of funds!" Zhou Chao absolutely believes in Xiao Yao, and what Xiao Yao said can definitely be realized.

"Zu Yuan has already arranged for people to prepare to go to Jinling, you also have to start preparing, select some loyal craftsmen, and I will teach them the method of sugar making when the time comes!" Also, Zhou Chao, in the past two days, you have to build me a good Sutie sword! Xiao Yao commanded.

"The Sword of the Iron Guard? Is it for Xiao Moke? Zhou Chao asked.

"That's right! I have promised to be his adopted son, and when I go to Jinling, of course, I must give him a gift that I can get my hands on! Xiao Yao said.

"Don't worry, young master, I will personally forge this sword! By the way, today Brother Li An and I both received an invitation from Chen Shuling, inviting us to the Assassin's Mansion for a banquet, but we didn't invite other officials, not even Zu Yuan. Zhou Chao said.

"Even Zu Yuan was not invited? Hehe, he must have seen that you and Ang Li are the behind-the-scenes bosses of the General Firm, this time it's a Hongmen banquet, but it's okay, if we break the window paper, we can use his name as King Xing openly. Xiao Yao smiled.
