Zhang Guoan brought seeds of black and white pepper. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The spicy taste of black pepper is stronger than that of white pepper, and it is spicy in the fragrance, removing the smell and enhancing the taste, and is more used to cook offal and seafood dishes; White pepper has great medicinal value and can dispel cold and warm the stomach.

Both types of pepper grow in shady woods.

They are naturally slow growing, and in addition to not being tolerant to waterlogging, they are resistant to heat, cold, drought, wind, shear, and easy transplantation.

It's not hard to grow at all.

Therefore, Zhang Guoan just can't understand why the ancients were so stupid, and the money was earned by people like the natives!

All he brings are high-yielding varieties, and he can produce 300 kilograms per mu a year.

He plans to make his pepper and its derivatives available all over the world within a decade.

Of course, this is a long-term plan, and now he will soon be able to launch chili powder, of course, starting with medium spiciness, spicy tofu, he likes to eat it very much, and he must be able to like it too.

As long as it is expensive, it will definitely sell well.

In addition to soap, he could take out his hand a candle.

Before the Great Song Dynasty, candles were quite expensive, because beeswax was an expensive raw material, so it was impossible for them to appear in ordinary families.

When the Great Song Dynasty reached the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still relatively expensive.

They also saw it in Jia Rudao's mansion, Liu Qianxing's first house, and the so-called big restaurant, and the rest were all rapeseed oil lamps.

Compared with modern candles, the candles of the Great Song Dynasty have many shortcomings.

The wicks of their candles were made of cotton thread, standing upright in the center of the flame, and were charred because they could not be burned out, so the remaining ends of the wicks had to be cut off with scissors from time to time.

This is undoubtedly a troublesome matter, but the solution is very simple, just use three cotton threads to weave a wick. The wick will naturally loosen when it burns, and the end will be warped just outside the flame, so that it can burn completely.

Another point is that their candles made of grease have a flame that carries smoke when they burn because of the glycerin in them. The smell is unpleasant.

The solution is very simple, as long as the oil is saponified with a strong alkali, and then decomposed with hydrochloric acid to extract stearic acid, it is enough.

The remaining residue is used to continue the extraction of glycerol

Stearic acid is a white substance that feels greasy to the touch, and candles made from it have a soft texture, but are cheaper.

When burning, not only the flame is bright, but there is almost no black smoke. Does not pollute the air.

What are you afraid of if the texture is softer, who told you that a candle can only be a long cylinder?

Our candles are spherical and not afraid to break!

The rest of the series of products, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes and cassava, will not be mentioned one by one.

In short, in the view of Zhang Guoan, who has just passed his life, the next step of development is to hurry up to innovate and invigorate, and he wants to compete with the Tatar bandit group for time!

Let Da Song live, and he can live here. It's common sense.

When the second batch of sea salt arrived, many salt merchants in the Great Song Dynasty finally couldn't sit still.

It's been less than a month. And he sent five thousand stone of sea salt and five hundred stone of refined salt!

In fact, the last time they were given a low price, they still wanted to resell the salt at the usual price, after all, they made a lot ------of money, and the class evaluation at the end of the year will be very good.

But the envoys rejoiced, and such a thing as impeachment was the safest thing to do. Everyone wants to do what is morally right.

In the face of the impeachment of the imperial envoy, the minister Jia seemed to have a look, and Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, understood that he had to lower the price of salt under the edict, and he started with himself. Directly ordered the salt to reduce the price and benefit the people, in fact, he also knew that it was not a loss, it was all saved from the big island of Liuqiu.

At this time, the Great Song official family still spoke strongly, and they had not been kidnapped by any forces, and a direct order would be easy to use

Although a pound only saves a few pennies, such a thing is very pleasing------ no one can leave salt.

The reputation of Zhao Yu, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, is really getting better and better, everyone praises him for his benevolence and righteousness, and no one pays attention to the reasons that really make the price of salt drop.

Ordinary people are like this, just look at the present, very realistic.

The folk tabloids are also full of praise, and his minister, Jia Yidao, also deliberately found a few copies and secretly gave them to Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, also secretly read it, and his face was flushed with excitement, and he was praised by the people, who could not be happy?

Shichen Jia said happily: "Official, this is not Di Bao, this is the real voice of the people, it is better to give them a correct name, let's start with this one, the official family will give it a name, call it the People's Voice Newspaper." ”

After reading the tabloid again from beginning to end, Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, felt really good, decent, all of them praised the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was also interesting, he was amused by the above novels.

The minister, Jia Rudao, said happily: "The old man doesn't dare to share this credit, so it's all up to the officials." What the people like to see, we had better not stop it, it is futile and can only become a laughing stock. ”

Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, sincerely nodded and agreed, and two days later he raised the matter in the court, wanting to allow a tabloid to be publicly issued and to inscribe it himself.

At that time, the imperial envoy doctor of the imperial embassy did not agree, and he immediately proposed that the decree of the former king was not allowed, and said a lot, which meant that the central government could only have one voice.

Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, had already prepared, and he asked people to issue a copy to each of the ministers, and then let's see if it was over.

His senior minister, Jia Yidao, also took a tabloid and looked at it pretendically.

The ministers took a look, this tabloid is good, it is full of praise, and it also has the role of educating the people, the content is better than the Di newspaper, and the minister is happy when he is not careful.

The imperial historian also read it carefully, this tabloid is simply a newspaper run by the Zhao family, which is too conducive to stability and unity------ the key is that the people run it themselves, so this is the real voice of the people!

However, the Imperial Historian thought that it was not appropriate for the official family to name and inscribe it personally, so it was better to acquiesce in its existence, which would be more conducive to the future circle.

Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, also took a step back and agreed, hello everyone, I am good, a group of harmony.

The happiest was the master Jia Nidao, his face was calm as water, but the slightly trembling mustache revealed his true mood.

It was this newspaper that hacked his opponent Cheng Yuanfeng, you say, who is the force behind this newspaper?!

Not only did he think of the young businessman of Yindi'anguo, he was just a businessman, and he probably didn't know how to use the tabloids correctly, right?

I just know how to earn a few tickets------

From now on, what kind of people's voice the old man wants, there will be what kind of people's voice!

The real big salt merchants must be far-sighted than the common people, they don't know what is happening in the court, they see the huge profits here!

How much salt do I need in a year for Lin'an City plus the surrounding area?

About 50,000 stones, so how much sea salt can they boil! (To be continued.) )
