Chapter 929: Hengshan Pass

Li Fuquan waved his hand again and again: "I can't afford to be honest, Shao Bao is really young, in terms of age, he is not a few years older than the third prince, right?" ”

This is to make fantasy and history into a section, Su You had to patiently explain: "The legend is not credible, Su You is just an ordinary man, and there are no ...... those miraculous people"

Li Fuquan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, you have to explain it like this on weekdays, right?" ”

Uh, Li Weng, you really don't seem to be suitable to be an official, so superstitious......

Sanzhou is a key area for sugar production, and every county here has a sugar mill built by Sitong Merchants.

In addition to the manufacture of white sugar and brown sugar, there are many by-products.

Mainly fiber utilization and molasses utilization.

sugarcane fiber, which can be made into paper, cartons;

The filter sludge can be made into excellent feed additives, with a sweet taste, suitable for changing the taste of the powder, and making the powder coagulate and reducing dust;

The use of molasses is mainly in the fermentation industry, where it is used to cultivate yeast, various koji molds, including koji, red yeast rice, and penicillium......

The secondary products are honey wine, penicillin, red rice wine, cooking wine, formaldehyde, acetone, organic paint, konjac glue film......

In turn, these things have greatly promoted the upgrading of animal husbandry, packaging, alcoholic beverages, lacquerware, catering and other industries.

In this era, the demand for sugar is more hungry than for salt, so there is no need to worry about the sales of cane sugar in Sanzhou.

The cane sugar in Sanzhou is mainly transported to Yunzhou for transshipment, and the current Yunzhou City is basically a sugar ship waiting to pick up the goods.

Although the war lasted for half a year, fortunately, the harvest period of sugarcane was relatively long, so it did not rot in the ground, which affected the sugar production.

Sanzhou chooses the best cane varieties today, with a yield of 4,000 catties of sugarcane per mu and 600 catties of sugar, which cannot be compared with later generations.

However, although the grain price is low, that is, one-third of that of the mainland, it is still about two times more economical to exchange it for economic benefits.

It's different when sugar comes out, a pound of sugar is 200 Wen, 600 catties, and the output value of an acre of land is 120 yuan!

Of course, this also includes felling, transportation, crushing, refining, packaging, and reprocessing...... And so on, and so on, there are people involved in the whole process, and the sugarcane farmers can get less than one-tenth of what they can get.

However, it is only less than one-tenth, which is already several times the output value of rice planting in the past, and it is needless to say that the feelings of the farmers are self-evident.

Of course, 120 guan is not the final output value, fruit candy, mints, gummies, toffee, rock sugar preserves, jams, canned syrup...... These refined products are the king of money.

For example, canned lychee syrup and canned longan syrup, these two samples are not very conducive to preservation, and now they can be supplied to the Bianjing market, and can even be shipped to Shaanxi and Goryeo.

The price of a canned lychee in Western Xia and Liao is amazingly high, and if there is a lychee white fungus soup on each table of the banquet of the magnates, it is the highest standard reception of the host.

The rest of the sweets, especially toffee, coffee toffee, became the goods looted by Western merchants.

The first batch of samples was robbed by Pu Shan a big bargain, because of the fish sauce transfer, Pu Shan is a lot of accumulation, with some savings, after the first batch of toffee came out, he held the absolute trust in the attributes of the scholar foodie, all the savings were replaced with toffee, the first time he returned to his hometown, he made a lot of money.

After inspecting Sanzhou, presiding over the inauguration ceremony at the Buzheng Prefecture Anti-Riot Monument, paying tribute to the loyal souls of the righteous men who died headed by Huang Mu, and encouraging the people of Sanzhou to put aside their hatred and work hard to produce, Su You said goodbye to the chief officials of Sanzhou one by one and marched towards Hengshan Pass.

Follow the ancient road all the way up the mountain, along the way with lush trees and birds chirping.

Hengshan Pass is the Great Stone Pass, a natural barrier in the center of the city, separating the north and the south.

It is also an important transportation hub, and in addition to the military village, there is also a tax supervisor on the mountain.

However, after the end of the secession, between Jiaozhou, Jiuzhou, and Xinzhou, the sea trade was booming, and more than 30 Meishan-type schooners accompanied by the Great Song Dynasty envoys came and went frequently, and Su You simply asked Liangbao and Gulun to return to Xinzhou to guard, leaving only 700 soldiers here to maintain the road.

The weather is getting hotter, but Hengshan is a good place to escape the heat.

When it was closed, Wang Zhen, the envoy of the Jiuzhou Festival, brought his son Wang De to visit.

In Su You's team, there are more Ping Zhengsheng and Mu Yi.

came with Wang Zhen, as well as Chen Tian and Cheng Yue.

Su You hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Chen Tian.

Chen Tian patted Su You's shoulder, and smiled so much that tears appeared in his eyes: "Young Master is really out of breath, what about Wei'er?" Let the old army see, I haven't seen it in twenty years......"

Shi Wei stepped forward and bent her knees: "Shi Wei pays a visit to Chen Weng." ”

Chen Tian looked at Shi Wei, and then at Su You: "Who wants to get it!" Who wants to get! The two children on the edge of Meishan City did so many great things! ”

"When the old army sent Yunban to the Land Temple, I heard the oil baby ask about opening a restaurant, and I thought in my heart that this child will be designated in the future."

"Do you think, sell bean curd rice in the morning, stilt beef at noon, and sell some marinated miscellaneous at night, it is more than ten times a day, and after 20 years, how much harvest does it have to be? Hahahaha......"

Speaking of these, there are many stories, Su You asked about the situation of the people in Wangzhou again, and Chen Tian also asked about the situation of the villagers in Meishan, and he was very affectionate.

Only then did Wang Zhen know that this old army was amazing, he was Su Shaobao's elder-level figure, fortunately, he had always been polite and did not dare to slack off, and after the two chatted for a while, he came forward to see.

Huang Yong had already been developed by Cao Nan into the secret stake of the Ning Navy Intelligence Division, and after the city was returned to the Song Dynasty, as he said, the Great Song Dynasty gave Wang Zhen an official position as a festival envoy, and Wang Zhen couldn't help but value this old brother even more.

The position given to Huang Yong by the Great Song Dynasty was the governor of Jiuzhou, he was a literati, and now he acted as a lubricant between Wang Zhen and Su You, which was just right.

The old state also has its own advantages, even if the status of the international transit port will be replaced by the new state, but the unique geographical and climatic advantages of the old state from high altitude to low altitude are self-evident.

The key industries set by Su Oil for the old state are tea, coffee, pepper, and grapes.

There are also various spices and famous woods, as well as animal husbandry and seafood.

These few things alone are enough for the development of the old state.

In addition, Jiuzhou is also a hub connecting Xinzhou, Jiaozhou, Yezhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other "short-distance" maritime transportation, and is also the supply base of Xinzhou.

There is also a water division in the old state, although Wang Zhen's water division is a little insufficient, but it is enough to be responsible for the inland sea and coastal defense of the three counties.

After all, now that the pirates in the South China Sea have been eliminated, a normal trade order has been established.

The climate of Hengshan Pass is comfortable, and there are many animals, so Su You took refuge in the summer here for a few days, and let Shi Weiping and Chen Tian go to play and hunt.

Wang De also participated, because Su You brought a magic gun and a wheel gun to the father and son, both of which were luxurious models decorated with gold and silver luodian.

This is also the benefit of the first effect, Wang Zhen and his son are the first two "alien" generals to receive the Great Song Dynasty Divine Machine.

But if you really want to theorize, Wang Zhenzu is actually a Fujian person.

There are too many prey in the Changshan Mountains, the so-called "tigers, bears, bison, elk, leopards." Birds and beasts are tame, and they don't know how to fear bows; The musk muntjac is full of hills, and the roar is deaf. ”

At least in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no such good hunting ground, even the remote Erlin Department, Kuizhou, is not as good as here.

Shi Wei found that this place was still a treasure trove of medicines, and her interest in collecting medicines was greater than hunting.

Wang Zhen and Su You smell the same, both of them are lazy people, when others go out to hunt and collect medicine, the two make tea and chat and eat fruits.

There are a lot of fruits in the old state, and many of them can't even be named.

There is a fruit called a bird, which is like a large plum and tastes like a large plum, and it is ripe and sweet.

There is also a type called black olive, which is a type of olive, but it is larger and better quality than ordinary olives.

Wang Zhen's stomach is not very good, Shi Wei asked Wang De to hunt two wild boars, and used black olives to cook wild boar belly for Wang Zhen.
