Not only brown sugar and sugar cane, Yan Chengjin asked Wang Busui to buy all the honey and sugarcane in the capital.

Monopolize first, and then push new.

It will take some time to transport sugar from other places.

Yan Chengjin is ordering people to put white sugar into a large clay pot.

When Wang Busui saw these sugars, his eyes flashed, "Young Master, let's dare to pack tickets, even Your Majesty, I have never seen such white and fine sugar!" ”

Most of the sugar used in the capital is brown sugar, which not only has dregs, but also has a faint smell.

Even so, the average person can't afford it.

White granulated sugar is shiny, ten times better than refined salt, and most importantly, it doesn't smell good.

Wang Busui had never seen such a good sugar, and thought it was a big grain of salt.

"Young master, how much silver do you want to sell?"

The Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is short of silver, and the wages in the workshop have to be paid, taxes and silver have to be paid, and raw silk and other materials have to be purchased.

60,000 taels of silver, buy 30,000 horses of raw silk, and it will be gone.

Three days later,

The brown sugar in the capital is sold out.

The restaurant and inn ran out of sugar reserves, only to find that they couldn't buy sugar.

The gentry scolded and scolded, who even bought all the sugar? What a fucking magnanimity!

Shouning Houfu,

Zhang Heling drank the corn porridge, and felt that something was wrong as soon as he entered his mouth: "Phew! How is it not sweet? ”

Corn porridge with a little brown sugar has become a meal enjoyed by large households.

The housekeeper said with a worried face: "Master, all the sugar in the capital has been sold out, and you can't even buy caramel candy."

Those who sell sugar gourds have not been out of the stall for several days and cannot buy sugar. ”

Rock sugar gourd, that is, hawthorn is soaked in boiled brown sugar.

Zhang Yanling drank the porridge beautifully, this porridge belongs to his brother's, he doesn't want silver, "Brother, it's delicious without sugar, if you don't drink it, you will pour it to your younger brother." ”

Zhang Heling slapped and shouted: "Something as greedy as a dog!" They dwell in my house, eat me, drink me, and think about me. ”

Zhang Yanling drank the porridge aggrievedly, scooped up the spoon in the pot again, and took advantage of Zhang Heling's daze, and hurriedly drank a few more sips.

Zhang Yanling was puzzled: "If you can buy all the sugar in the capital, is it the Zhou family?" ”

Sugar is more expensive than rice, and those who can buy all the sugar in the capital must have a lot of silver.

The housekeeper said: "I heard that it was Yan Chengjin." ”

Yan Chengjin?

Zhang Heling muttered, put some salt, and drank porridge.

LIU Fu,

For breakfast, Liu Jian picked up chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour carp, and ate rice for breakfast, so that he could not be hungry until noon, and he could be summoned by His Majesty at any time.

"Today's sweet and sour fish, why is it only sour and not sweet? Call the cook. ”

After a while, the cook said nervously: "Master, you can't buy sugar in the capital." ”

There are hundreds of shops selling sugar in the capital, large and small, and it is not long after the winter, it is the time to grind sugar, how can there be no sugar?

Liu Jian was full of disbelief and angrily reprimanded: "Where did the sugar in the capital go?" ”

"The little one doesn't know, I know that the old man loves sweet and sour fish, and the little one went to the inn and restaurant to ask, and now the whole capital, I really can't buy it." Cook for the difficulty.

Outside the noon gate of the Forbidden City, Wang Busui trembled and let the forced forces build a high platform.

This is not a palace, but it is also a forbidden place for the people.

If he is caught by the guards here, he may be imprisoned and convicted of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

But what can Wang Busui do, Young Master Yan has to ask him to sell white sugar, ordinary people can't afford it, and it's useless to go to the vegetable market to sell it.

The noon gate is the place where the dignitaries and dignitaries enter and exit, and they are about to go down to the court, Wang Busui seized the opportunity and urged the forced forces to hurry up.

The four brocade guards came over, and the hundred households led by them reprimanded: "The forbidden land of the imperial city, you just sell it, and you dare to set up a stage here, do you want to eat in prison?!" ”

The forbidden place of the imperial city is not allowed to make noise.

Wang Busui groveled: "Official, my young master asked the villain to ride." ”

Jin Yiwei crooked his mouth and sneered, and caught someone who was not afraid of death: "Who is your young master?" Grab them all! ”

Strict family rules, for the Venerable, everything must not be reported to the young master's name.

Wang Busui was in a hurry, and reported the name of the young master, maybe he would die tonight, and even if he didn't report it, he would be imprisoned, and he would be able to live a few more days.

But how can this white sugar be sold?

"Our young master is a senior official of the imperial court, and the master is the marquis of the border, so much can be said, and I can't say it anymore!" Wang Busui gritted his teeth and said.

The Jinyi guards were happy, and the Jinyi guards led by them waved their hands and said, "Come on, arrest him for me!" The table was dismantled, and the action was sharp,

These white sugars, a few brothers, one person and one cylinder. ”

Wang Busui stomped on him, anxious: "Tell you, our young master, you can't afford to provoke you!" ”

The Jinyi guard at the head of the voice was a little narrow: "Who is the young master of your family, this thousand households arrested him together." ”

Wang Busui was dumbfounded, he didn't dare to say.

"Benxiu only knew, his young master is Yan Chengjin."

Zhu Houzhao squeezed out of the crowd and said happily.

The Jinyi Guard's face was stiff, and he subconsciously took half a step back, working on an errand in the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, who didn't know Yan Chengjin?

Even more than other people in the yamen, they know more.

Jiuqing, who was impeached by Yan Chengjin, was either a scholar or a degrader.

Thinking of this, I was afraid for a while.

Wang Busui secretly sweated to himself, young master, don't blame me, it's not the villain who said it.

Several brocade guards reacted from their fear, saw Zhu Houzhao, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Highness, we are also on official business, you have to testify." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hand, signaling that they could get out.

Walking to the vat of white sugar, Wang Busui hurriedly flattered: "Your Highness, this is white sugar." ”

Zhu Houzhao grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, and saw Wang Busui have a pain in his flesh.

"It's so sweet, it's definitely delicious with the rice flowers of the main palace." Zhu Houzhao thought of this, and ran away without a trace.

Wang Busui began to shout at the top of his throat: "There is sugar to sell!" ”

shouted loudly, and many people gathered around, as if the stage was about to start singing, which was extremely lively.

When the people saw the snow-white sugar, no one dared to come up and ask the price.

I can't afford to ask for it.

The people Wang Busui wanted to sell were not them, they were the gentry in the capital and the shopkeeper of the restaurant inn.

After the next dynasty, many officials came out of the noon gate one after another.

There was no sugar for sale in the capital for three days, and when I heard that someone was selling sugar, several of the main books of the household department came over.

It's amazing, it's so white sugar!

A household master grabbed a handful and said excitedly: "How much silver is this sugar?" ”

Wang Busui said with a smile: "Four taels and one catty, ten taels and three catties, adults taste it first?" ”

Liu Jian stretched out a hand from behind everyone, grabbed a pinch and put it in his mouth, and stared at the jar of candy: "Good sugar!" ”

Frightened, several of the main bookkeepers of the household department hurriedly avoided it, bowed and saluted, and made room.

Liu Jian asked, "How is this sugar made?" ”

Wang Busui was worried: "The little ones don't know either." ”

"Bastard! This is Lord Liu, the first assistant of the current dynasty. Zhou Yu scared him and said that he also wanted this recipe for white sugar.

Looking at the little old man in front of him, Wang Busui knelt down: "Even if Your Majesty is here, the villain doesn't know that this is what Lord Yan did." ”

Revealing a surname shouldn't be considered a violation, right?

Liu Jian's eyes lit up: "Yan Chengjin?!" ”

Wang Busui's face was like ashes, so he could guess it, and more importantly, he saw Yan Chengjin standing behind Liu Jian.

Yan Chengjin said: "It is the lower official, tomorrow the official sale will be held in the Yamen of Liangxiang, and this recipe for white sugar will be sold." ”

The official sale is an auction.

Don't look at the future generations, write about various auctions and fetch sky-high prices.

In fact, it is the first time that an auction has been held in Daming!

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no auction.

The imperial court raided the official's home, and the confiscated calligraphy, painting, and antiques needed to be sold, so they went to the tooth store for valuation.

At the same time as the tooth shop evaluates, it finds a good buyer for the imperial court, and there is no bidding process.

If the gentry wanted to sell goods, they also went through the tooth shop, and after the tooth shop appraised the price, they found a buyer.

Yan Chengjin knows very well that the huge profit behind the auction house can be raised from 5,000 taels to 50,000 taels.

An ordinary item can also be sold for a sky-high price.

Suitable for white wolves with empty gloves.

The most important thing in the auction line is to have the goods in hand.

The recipe for white sugar, he plans to start auctioning at 6,000 taels, and he doesn't know how much silver he can sell.
