Chapter VII Sugar Production
Sun Quan, who hurried back to the city all the way, coped with a few salutes from the farmers on the road, did not stop for a moment, unfolded a roll of bamboo slips, searched in his mind for the "Gan Fan Chapter" in "Tiangong Kaiwu", and wrote down, skipping or replacing the discordant ones with other words.

After finishing it, he looked at it carefully, and there was nothing wrong, and he got up to look for Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan was in the room at the moment, and when he saw what Hua Tuo did during the day, he was proficient in fishing and animal affairs, and he was writing a record.
Seeing Sun Quan holding a roll of bamboo slips, he hurried in, and couldn't help but speak: "What is Zhongmou, how anxious?" ā
"Shuyi looks at this method to make sugar?" Sun Quan unfolded the bamboo slip and handed it to Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan took the bamboo slip, put it on the bookcase, and looked at it carefully, while Sun Quan watched eagerly.
"The rest of the people look at it, but the "snow sugar" is unheard of, and I hope to give it a try", Gao Yuan looked up and said after seeing it.
"I have sent someone to pick cane, try it tomorrow, if it succeeds, then Yang Xian will be rich, and the treasury will have endless money and grain" Sun Quan laughed when he heard this.
"If there is no mistake in the law, Yuan will succeed." Gao Yuan saw that Sun Quan attached so much importance to the method of making sugar, and he also made a guarantee.
"Shuyi will go with me to eat", Sun Quan pulled Gao Yuan intimately, after the meal, Gao Yuan got up to make some utensils, and Sun Quan went to visit the piglets.
Hua Tuo's "operation" was a success, and the piglets were no longer as sluggish as they were at the beginning.
"Villain Zhou Jin, after Hua Lao taught the method of castration, he also taught a decoction, which was taken with young pigs in the morning and evening, and it was fine for three days."
A "gelding" stepped forward to report.
"Zhou Jin, okay, in the future, you will be in charge of this matter, and you must raise these young pigs well."
"Subordinates receive orders". Zhou Jin responded respectfully.
"Let's go, you go with me to the warehouse."
In addition to money, grain and cloth, there are also pigweed and sugar cane that Song Zheng has brought back. Sun Quan ordered them to take some pigweed, bean dregs, and wheat bran. Then tell the number of proportions to Zhou Jin, watch them operate, and the mixed feed is still alive.
"In the future, you will use this to feed, you all know the pigweed, go to the warehouse to cut it, go to the warehouse to receive wheat bran, bean dregs, be sure to do your best, the monthly salary is five, and the fields can be cultivated by the family."
Zhou Jin and a few others received the order.
After going back, Sun Quan lay on the bed, thinking a little bit about the future, if Xuetang succeeds and makes huge profits, the wealthy family of Jiangdong will be happy to see the benefits, and they will inevitably get close to the Sun family, so that the Sun family and the Jiangdong family can quickly enter the honeymoon period from the run-in period. As long as the sunshine is longer, the better the growth of sugarcane, and the power of the Sun family and the family will also expand to the south, and the displaced people in each county only need to reclaim a few pieces of wasteland to make a profit, which virtually reduces the land contradiction between the poor and the wealthy families. After the reunification of Jiangdong, the problem of poor people defecting into the mountains and becoming Shanyue was basically solved.
And fishing and animal breeding, is just to enrich the diet of the people, people do not eat oily, only eat grain, then the amount of food doubled, and the strength is insufficient, this is also thousands of years of the Central Plains farming people, although the soldiers are thick but against the nomads repeatedly frustrated one of the reasons, physical quality is not comparable, the second is that most of the will is not as good as the fierce "barbarians" who survive in the wind and snow. For thousands of years, when there were no corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the population of this land still increased, not only by the continuous reclamation of the land, but also by the gradual improvement of land utilization, and the related fishing and livestock also continued to develop, and when the aspect of farming and fishing animals as the first step of human survival could not be satisfied, the first thing was the outbreak of land contradictions, and then the troubled times came, and the dynasty changed.
After waking up, it was still early, Sun Quan finished washing, and came to the courtyard to find Zhou Tai to practice swords, only to see that Gao Yuan had made a few utensils and was fiddling, Sun Quan hurriedly sent a few people to fetch the sugarcane, Gao Yuan commanded a few people to squeeze the sugarcane into sugar juice and put it on the fire to boil.
Sun Quan, Zhou Tai and others watched from the sidelines, while Hua Tuo stood in front of the pot and watched carefully, surprised from time to time.
After a while, the sugar juice boiled into red and black, and when it was about to dry, Gao Yuan ordered the two to take it off and let it cool, everyone went to eat breakfast first, and after using it, they all came out to continue to see the sugar making, only to see that the sugar had condensed into black sand, Gao Yuan put the black sand in a utensil made of it, and poured it off with yellow muddy water, and finally the black slag was gone, leaving a slightly yellowish "snow sugar" on the vessel.
Gao Yuan put snow sugar on a plate, brought it to Sun Quan, and said with a smile: "Yuan does not live up to the responsibility, snow sugar is made."
Sun Quan picked up a little bit and put it in his mouth, except for a little peculiar smell, there is still a gap between it and the sugar of later generations, but it is not bad.
"Uncle Yi is a great talent", Sun Quan bowed and bowed, and his words were sincere.
Everyone congratulated Sun Quan, and then took some snow candy and put it into the taste, savored it, and was not surprised.
Gao Dai stepped forward and said: "Sugar, there have been in ancient times, but black and brown, the taste is weird, the snow sugar made by Shuyi, white as silk, sweet and far better, sell this thing to the north and south, the profit will be great, if the Zhongmou does not hand over this method to Bofu, the wealthy family of Jiangdong will see this, and there will be a request to the Sun family, no longer estranged; The Sun family can also make a profit from this, recruit talents, and have no worries about money and food."
"Sir's thoughts are the same as mine", Sun Quan laughed, but my Sun Shiwan had a long-term vision and had already thought of the sugarcane.
"Please take some and see if there is any use for medicinal stones," Hua Tuo stepped forward and said. Sun Quan readily agreed, ordered someone to wrap some in cloth and handed it to Hua Tuo.
Then send people to search for sugarcane and seeds, there are thousands of acres of fertile land in a township outside the county are owned by him, in addition, Hu Zong, Zhu Ran and others have been given more than 1,000 acres of fertile land, after the purchase of seeds, those who have not yet been cultivated are planted with sugarcane, and the fields that have been planted with grain are all planted with sugarcane after harvest.
After finishing the order, Sun Quan looked at the bagasse left over from the sugar production on the side, smiled and lowered his body to take a handful, and held it in his hand.
"What does Childe mean?" , Gao Dai asked when he saw this.
"Make the best use of things and feed them to the pigs", Sun Quan laughed, he was overjoyed, and the feed was basically ready.
Then he ordered someone to collect the bagasse, dry it, put it up, and send it to Zhou Jin, where he mixed it with some when feeding the young pigs. He also asked Gao Yuan to make a few more batches of utensils and send them to Sun Ce in a few days.
"When Youping fishes in Jiujiang, how is the harvest" Sun Quan paid attention to the fishmeal again, Yangxian is backed by Taihu Lake, and the fishery is abundant, so it is a pity not to put it away.
"Casting nets to catch fish, the harvest is quite rich, but everyone likes to eat the meat of sheep and dogs, not fish." Zhou Tai replied.
"Youping and Shuyi led ten people to build a boat and fish along Taihu Lake, remove the dirt and make it dry, and then transport it back to the city, I have other uses." Sun Quan arranged for Zhou Tai to return to his old job.
He also said to Gao Yuan: "Trouble Shuyi to accompany him, and give me more guidance on the matter of building a ship and forming a network."
Both of them were ordered to leave.
Hu Zong stepped forward and said: "After plotting, farming, pig breeding, city gates, public security, and sugar making, I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower, so it is better to ask Uncle Zhu Zhi for some manpower."
Sun Quan supported the forehead, but there was no shortage of manpower, and he said that Sun 100,000 was good
