Today, the third and fourth floors of the Wangyue Tower in the capital were all wrapped up by Li Yuanshan, and at this time, in the entire spacious third-floor hall, businessmen from the Beijing-Tianjin area gathered together, talking and laughing with each other and waiting patiently.

They are all old acquaintances, and although they do a lot of business, they all have one thing in common, that is, they all have the purchase and sale of sugar.

Now Ryukyu sugar has had a huge impact on the entire sugar market, and the price is too low, and the key is that this output is too large, and all of a sudden it is also a big head for these sugar businesses.

However, fortunately, Li Yuanshan did not mean to kill them all, and was willing to sell them high-quality sugar and let them become the agent of Ryukyu sugar.

"I don't know how the agent of this Ryukyu sugar does it, this sugar business, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do in the future."

Wu Lang's side, several businessmen who were also from the Jiangnan region said with a sad face.

Originally, the sugar business was not very easy to do, the price of sugar was very high, only the really rich people could afford to eat, as for the ordinary people, maybe when they had children, they could have a luxury, buy some brown sugar mixed with water to drink, used to replenish energy, brown sugar is even in traditional Chinese medicine is a blood tonic herb.

The price is expensive, the output is low, the market is actually so big, and everyone has long been familiar with the whole market.

Now, the Ryukyu Sugar stick has been inserted horizontally, and the entire market has been shaken in an instant, so that the merchants who have come here are worried one by one, worried that there will be no way to do this sugar trade in the future.

"I think maybe this sugar deal will be better in the future."

Wu Lang smiled and shook his head, his idea was the opposite, the price of this Ryukyu sugar is very cheap, and the output is large enough, which means that more people can be allowed to consume, and the market can be bigger.

Sugar is not the same as salt, there is no difference between it and it in life, but once everyone gets used to it, this consumption is very considerable.

Just like the Jiangnan area, it has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, very rich, everyone has money, so they all like to eat sweets, make braised pork with sugar, make some sugar, cook with sugar, it can be said that everyone's daily life is inseparable from sugar, and the absolute majority of the sugar in the entire Ming Dynasty is also consumed by people in the Jiangnan area.

The price of sugar is lower, which means that there is more sugar to consume, not to mention other places, just in the Beijing-Tianjin area, with the rapid development of capitalism, the income of the people in the Beijing-Tianjin area is getting higher and higher, and everyone can obviously feel that in the Beijing area, no matter what kind of business has become very good.

Wu Lang clearly knows that production and price are the key to sugar becoming a luxury, and if the output is large enough and the price is cheap enough, it can enter thousands of households.

At that time, this sugar will be the same as salt, and it will become an indispensable thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty to live like this.

"Everyone~Everyone~"

At this time, Li Yuanshan walked down from the fourth floor with a smile on his face, and the bidding for the agent of Ryukyu Sugar officially began.

"I won't talk nonsense, I think about the quality of our Ryukyu sugar, everyone should already know that this quality is definitely the best sugar in our Ming Dynasty now."

"In addition, in terms of output, please rest assured, our output is very large, and you can have as much as you want."

"The most important point is the price, the price of our Ryukyu sugar is definitely the lowest price in the market, the current price of brown sugar is 500 wen a catty, in the future, this price will continue to decrease, 300 wen a catty, 200 wen a catty, and even down to 100 wen a catty."

Li Yuanshan's voice was very loud and clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, everyone's faces changed slightly, this price is going to drop, do you still want to let everyone live?

If this is really reduced to two or three hundred dollars a catty, then there is still money to be made from this sugar?

This is the thought in the minds of these people present.

Sugar is extremely scarce and very expensive.

The price is so low that there is no money to be made at all.

"Everyone will definitely think that if this price is reduced to 100 wen a catty, will there be any money to be made?"

"When I want to tell everyone, of course there is money to be made, and there will be more money."

"Now our sugar production in the whole Ming Dynasty is less than one million catties a year, and those who can eat sugar are all really rich people."

"But if our output can reach tens of millions of catties a year, or even hundreds of millions of catties, then we can make everyone in Daming eat sugar."

"Even in the future, we can sell our Ming sugar to the Wa Kingdom and North Korea, if someone can transport this sugar to Europe, the price of this sugar is more than gold, and only the real nobles can afford to eat sugar."

Li Yuanshan began to describe the future of the canteen industry.

He naturally did this after Liu Jin's instructions and explanations, and Liu Jin was upstairs at this time, accompanying Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Mao, and Xu Guangzuo, chatting, and preparing to count the silver.

The sugar business is promising, but Liu Jin obviously does not plan to do this business all the time, the silver in the world is inexhaustible, and the many industries under Liu Jin's command earn tens of millions of dollars of silver every year.

Liu Jin's real plan was to use sugar to promote the development of the Ryukyus.

In order for these sugar merchants to see the profits and see that Ryukyu was a treasure land, Liu Jin was able to produce so much sugar just by building a city here in Ryukyu and cultivating some wasteland.

Liu Jin can do it, so why can't others do it?

They can also go to the Ryukyus side to build a city, go to the Ryukyus side to reclaim the land, and grow sugar cane to make sugarcane.

Using interests to drive people has always been what Liu Jin has been doing.

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, everyone couldn't help but take a slight breath, and some even had slightly red eyes.

The world depicted by Liu Jin, through the continuous publication of the Ming Morning Post issue after issue, everyone also knows that the price of this sugar in Europe is higher than gold, so it must be more expensive than gold.

If you could transport a shipload of sugar to Europe, wouldn't it be a disaster?

Everyone couldn't help but think like this.

"Mr. Li, can you really have such a high yield of sugar here in Ryukyu City?"

Someone couldn't help but stand up and ask.

"Of course, this is only this year, and next year, we can reclaim more land here in the Ryukyus, and then we will grow more sugar cane and boil more sugar."

Li Yuanshan nodded solemnly.

"You may not know much about Ryukyu, but I have been in Ryukyu Castle for almost a year this year, and I will tell you about the situation in Ryukyu."

"Ryukyu is very close to Fujian, very close, across the sea, and if you take a boat, you can reach Ryukyu from Fujian in less than a day."

"Ryukyu is very suitable for growing sugarcane because of the abundant sunshine and rain, and it can be harvested twice a year, and in addition to sugarcane, it is also very suitable for growing rice, which can be double-cropped or even triple-cropped."

"The land of Ryukyu is very fertile, and it is all ownerless land, whoever reclaims it will belong to whom, and our Liu Gongzi has also spent a huge amount of money to establish Ryukyu City here in the Tamsui River in the north of Ryukyu."

"If you want to invest here in the Ryukyus, you can go directly to the Ryukyu City here, there are some things, no matter how much I say, in fact, it is not as good as everyone to take a look, now there are regular ships here in Tianjin to travel between the Ryukyus and Tianjin, you can send someone to see, inspect it."

Li Yuanshan was very confident when he said it, and to be honest, he himself liked Ryukyu and was ready to move his family to Ryukyu.

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, everyone also nodded one after another, as long as it was related to Liu Jin, they were very convinced, because so far, Liu Jin had never deceived everyone.

The Golden Continent is full of gold, and now everyone believes in this, let alone in the Ryukyus as a treasure land.

As for whether it is true or not, as Li Yuanshan said, everyone will know if they go and see it for themselves.

"You can rest assured that you will only have a headache in the future that this sugar will not be sold, and you don't have to worry about not having enough sugar."

"Actually, I really recommend everyone to go to Ryukyu to have a look, it's really good."

"Now we are in the Beijing-Tianjin area here is cold and windy, and the snow is falling, but here in the Ryukyus, it is very warm, and we not only grow sugarcane here in Ryukyu City, but also grow a lot of vegetables, which can be transported to the Beijing-Tianjin area on a large scale after a while."

Li Yuanshan kept Liu Jin's words in mind, and constantly promoted Ryukyu and advertised Ryukyu here.

In fact, at this time, it was not only Li Yuanshan who was promoting Ryukyu here.

The Ming Morning Post was also instructed by Liu Jin to report on Ryukyu sugar at a large length.

At this time, in the streets and alleys of the capital, the old and young masters of the capital are watching the latest issue of the Ming Morning Post with relish.

Reading newspapers has now become a part of the lives of old and young masters in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

'Ryukyu sugar, so that everyone in Daming can afford to eat sugar!' ’

Such a report also immediately attracted everyone's attention, sugar, as everyone knows, is a very expensive, very expensive thing, something that ordinary people can't afford to eat.

Now this Ryukyu candy is so that everyone in Daming can afford to eat sugar, how is this possible?

Naturally, everyone also began to read word by word, carefully reading the content of the newspaper.

"Ryukyu turned out to be a sugar in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty~"

Through this newspaper, everyone also knew about Ryukyu at once, got to know Ryukyu, and knew the location of Ryukyu.

"The land here in the Ryukyus is fertile, and you can grow rice twice a year, or even three times a year?"

"How is that possible?"

"I know that rice grows twice a year, and it can be done in the Jiangnan area, but this year's three cropping, I have never heard of it."

"If you don't believe it, it doesn't mean you can't do it, didn't it say above?"

"The Ryukyu here has a low dimension, plenty of sunshine, abundant precipitation, and it has snowed here in our capital, where are they still similar to summer, do you say you can plant three crops?"

"That's true, the further south you go, the hotter it gets, maybe it's really a three-ripening crop."

"I also know about the Ryukyus, I heard that there are barbarians, and they can eat people, and I heard that there is a miasma, mosquitoes are rampant, and mosquitoes are as big as sparrows everywhere."

"Nonsense? How could there be a mosquito the size of a sparrow, wouldn't that bite a person to death? ”

"Don't guess randomly, didn't the newspaper say that Liu Zhuangyuan has built a Ryukyu City here in the Ryukyus, and there are ships that regularly go to the Ryukyu City here in Tianjin, so you can go to the Ryukyus side to have a look."

"Everyone is welcome to visit Ryukyu City here and take a walk."

"There is also the immigration policy here in Ryukyu City, as long as you are willing to immigrate to Ryukyu, a person can get a free three-eye field, this Ryukyu field is very fertile, there is a lot of rain, and you can also grow twice a year."

"Ryukyu City here is another large-scale seed sugar cane, boiling sugar, it must be very promising."

"The Ryukyus are so far away, who would immigrate to the Ryukyus?"

"I've heard that tens of thousands of people have emigrated to the Ryukyus, but I don't know if it's the same as the newspaper says, but if it's as good as the newspaper says, I'd like to immigrate to the Ryukyus."

"One person gets three acres of land for free, and the family immigrates to the past, and there are more than a dozen acres of high-quality paddy fields casually."

“……”

With the Ming Morning Post publishing the bits and pieces of the Ryukyus, the Ryukyus were also known to the people of the Ming Dynasty for the first time.

Originally, it was a thing of sugar, but it gradually became an advertisement, advertising for the Ryukyus, so that everyone could know about the Ryukyus, know the policies of the Ryukyu City, and encourage everyone to immigrate to the Ryukyus.

This is the real reason why Liu Jin started the newspaper.

There is no money to be made by running a newspaper, at least for now, Liu Jin of the Ming Morning Post is losing money, but the role of the newspaper is undoubtedly that Liu Jin can easily guide the attention of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The fourth floor of the Mochizuki Tower.

"Stinky boy, you asked everyone to go to Ryukyu to plant sugar cane and boil sugar, what will we eat in the future?"

Zhang Mao finished reading the latest Daming Morning Post and asked with some doubts.

Originally, I didn't expect that this would be so profitable to build a city here in the Ryukyus, and it would be so profitable to grow sugarcane, but this time, there was a bumper harvest of sugarcane here in Ryukyu City, and the sugar boiled out could be sold for tens of millions of taels of silver.

If you go out and invest the money in Ryukyu City this year, plus the expenses in various aspects, etc., you can easily earn millions of taels of silver, and the cost of this investment will come immediately, and you will earn silver, and you will be sitting and counting the money in the future.

But now, Liu Jin actually asked everyone to go to Ryukyu to reclaim the land and plant sugarcane, isn't this to give the hens that lay eggs to others to make a fortune.

"Zhang Gong, we have to take a long-term view, although this kind of sugarcane and sugar boiling business is profitable, it is limited after all, and it will be up to the sky to earn tens of millions of taels of silver in a year."

"But if the Ryukyus side looks at development, we can have more places to make money, and the Ryukyus are a big island, and the resources on it are extremely rich."

"In addition, Ryukyu has been developed, and when we enter Nanyang, Luzon, and Australia next year, it will be much easier for us, and Ryukyu is also an important point on the return route of the Golden Continent fleet, and I am laying out for the future."

"When the time comes, we can casually get a fleet to go to the South Seas, and we can also bring back a boatload of silver, if we can go to Australia, there are a lot of gold mines and silver mines here in Australia, and I am afraid that there will be no silver at that time?"

Liu Jin heard Zhang Mao's words, smiled and explained.

The development of the Ryukyus was very important, and it was the starting point for Liu Jin to turn the Pacific Ocean into the Inner Lake of the Yan and Huang Sons.

If the Ryukyus are well managed, you can go to Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, connect the northern region of the Ming Dynasty, connect Guangdong, Guangxi, and Qiongzhou in the south, and go to Luzon and Australia in the South Seas.

Nanyang and Luzon are also a godsend, located in the tropics, the land is fertile, the precipitation is sufficient, not to mention anything else, just for planting rice, this year's three cropping rice, casually occupy some areas, the future output of rice is enough to easily feed the entire Ming Dynasty.

As for Australia, not to mention, the mineral resources are extremely rich, and the land is vast and sparsely populated.

If you can open up the routes of the South China Sea and Australia, and then you can go to the South Golden Continent from Australia, you can form a complete cycle at that time.

Around the entire Pacific Ocean, Daming can have two routes, one route is to the north, through the Wa Kingdom, the North Pacific to the North Golden Continent.

One route is to go south, through Nanyang and Australia to the male Golden Continent, and then turn the entire Pacific Ocean into an inland lake for the descendants of Yan and Huang.

This is Liu Jin's real purpose, as for planting sugar cane and boiling sugar, this is just to attract more people to Ryukyu here and develop Ryukyu.

is still the same sentence, the law that Liu Jin believes in is to drive people with interests.

As long as there are enough benefits, Liu Jin believes that there is no need to bother to push it himself, and there will naturally be people who are willing to go to the Ryukyus.

All you need to do is put that benefit out of it, and make sure that those who play the game according to their own rules get enough out of it.

In this way, it will naturally snowball, and more and more people will continue to move forward in the direction set by Liu Jin, and then lead the entire huge empire to the colonial era.
