Chapter 170: Eat the Holy One Every Day

Hao Chujun handed over another newspaper, which was written by a local official.

The time to write was a little later, but because they brought candy over, Lu Liang and the others wrote it first, and the speed was a little slower, but the two twists and turns were almost one, and they arrived in Luoyang.

Lu Liang and the others really paid half of the tribute tax as they said at the beginning. This tax is not half of the profit, but half of the selling price, for example, if you sell 1,000 taels of sugar, you will pay 500 yuan. The number is not huge, only three thousand.

It's not too little, and the taxes paid by some impoverished states and counties in a year are just that. Of course, it won't be very big, as long as the imperial court Chrysostom is opened, there are many businessmen who are willing to donate 3,000 yuan, but who dares to open this mouth?

Hao Chujun underestimated a little.

In Jiangnan, it is the dragon that crosses the river, and the rich chambers of commerce in Jiangnan have resistance, but the emperor personally rewarded it, but there is nothing to be done. Moreover, Liang Jinzhu was worshiped by the prince at the labor banquet...... For ordinary Shu people and businessmen, it is undoubtedly a tiger skin. It may not be popular, and it will not be long after it comes out, and the output is not very large.

In the early stage, sales were still in the north.

But there will be more and more resistance in the future, after all, half of the tax is paid on this sugar, and other sugar merchants will be embarrassed, and Li Wei is not only this step. In fact, the merchants wandered to the fringes of society, which is also related to the immaturity of the tax system, if it brought 10 million yuan of income to the Tang Dynasty every year, what do the ministers think? It's just that everyone doesn't understand this section, but the real power is those who have power, and big businessmen like Zou Fengchi are in danger of falling at any time.

Looking at Hao Chujun's face, he can probably guess something.

If the sugar is gone, everyone will be happy, and it is good sugar, so it is important whether the health can stand it. There are only 3,000 yuan, and there is no need for the imperial court to bear this controversy. Besides, for the sake of several empty titles, they have been disputed for so long.

Li Wei said in a low voice: "This is the beginning, Lone has also heard about it, and it will be better in the future." In fact, Hao Xianggong, think about the treasury. At least they were willing to do it, and they invented it themselves, and it didn't involve much, but it was better than the court loan. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Let's divide it, try it. If it is good, Lone will notify the workshop in Xijing City, and it is possible that the toffee will also pay taxes to the state. There won't be a lot, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 a year. ”

"Your Highness......"

"Hao Xianggong, Lone's words must not be leaked."

Hao Chujun is still good to himself, but he has been hiding many things from him, Li Wei is not very embarrassed, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "Actually, Lu Liang and the others went to Jiangnan and met with Lone. The treasury was empty, and there was no way to make more changes, so Lone talked to them, whether these two kinds of sugar, or toffee, sooner or later someone else would imitate them. Now that the tax is paid, it is a customization, but something new, and it is not much involved. One thing is customization, and two things are customization. After accumulation, it can add a profit to the imperial court. Lone knows that a gentleman doesn't talk about profit, but what about the country? It would be nice not to tax the people, but is it impossible? Again, these are luxuries, and the ones who buy them are rich people, and they are not short of money. The court got taxes, and it was not a disturbance to the people. Both of them are good businessmen, and after listening to Lone's words, they should also be approved. ”

"I see, no wonder the minister is so conscious."

"It's not easy, change to other businessmen, persuade alone, and take the initiative to pay tribute, this world, will not be ashamed of businessmen."

Let go of some wind first, once customized, you still need the consent of these prime ministers, if they don't agree, even if the parents forcibly issue an edict, it may not work. Li Wei continued to incite: "It's a little less now, but Hao Xianggong, please wait and see, in a few years, this kind of sugar will bring tens of thousands of dollars in taxes to the country, hundreds of thousands of dollars." Not only that, but if it is good, you can exchange gold, silver and copper from the Great Food. For this alone, the state does not need to exploit the people with usury. ”

"How big could it be?"

"Will it be so huge, it won't take long, or even a few months later, to be faintly seen."

Hao Chujun asked Li Wei to persuade three times and four times, and he was very moved.

The main countries are impoverished in their coffers.

But this is good governance, and the state does not save money, because of the light taxation and various kinds of pensions, such as disaster relief in disaster years, especially in the past few years. But the treasury is very empty, and as the prime minister, his heart is not solid.

As a result, sugar began to be divided......

It's just that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are a little far away, and the two of them are about to be rarely happy, and they went to Ye County, Xuzhou to hunt again.

When Li Wei heard about this, he was a little speechless, when he arrived in Guangchengze, they were all hunting places, and he didn't hunt once.

Before the words fell, the sugar arrived in Luoyang.

It's just that to Li Wei's surprise, Earth Horse and Liang Jinzhu chose a name for the sugar. Sucrose is not called sucrose, it is called "Shenghuang sugar", and rock sugar is not called rock sugar, it is called "Shenghou sugar".

After two days of snowfall, the snow stopped, Luoyang was white, and the mountains were all snow-white. After the sugar arrived in Luoyang, the sales were very good. Don't talk about crowding, only talk about the advertising effect of two distributions, Jiangnan has no sensation, but Luoyang is looking forward to it.

It's the end of the year again, and the rich people want to be novel, luxurious, and packaged, all of which Li Wei said at the time. Di Renjie frowned a lot, Li Wei didn't see it. But the sugar in these small jars, from the gimmick to the packaging, is curious. It was sold very expensive.

It is also sold by catties, but a pound of sucrose is sold for nearly 50 wen, and rock sugar is sold on a piece of paper, and the price is higher.

Li Wei heard the price in the East Palace, and he also felt smacked. The current pound may only be a little more than four taels in later generations. That is, one catty, enough to have more than 100 Wen, in a bumper year, you can buy more than one stone of high-quality rice in the south of the Yangtze River. But there is no silence, and now cane sugar makes the money of the rich. Once it becomes widespread, the price will go down.

The sky cleared, and Li Wei arrived at Huangzhuang.

Huangzhuang is still a grass creation, but there is a novelty. Pit room, thermometer is not very difficult to make, the principle is very simple. Some of the glass is called Yaoyu, or some other name. Mercury has been available for a long time. The Tang Dynasty burned good glass, but it was okay to make peace. The temperature is also easy to modulate, the temperature of ice is zero, and the temperature of boiling water is 100 degrees. But what temperature is suitable for incubation, Li Wei doesn't know.

Coal is also available, and even open-pit coal mines are discovered by people from time to time. But Li Wei can't mention that coal mining will benefit the country and the people, but the ultimate benefit will undoubtedly fall into the hands of large families. What about the actual situation? How many poor people make a living by burning charcoal? Don't think that Bai Juyi's "Charcoal Seller" is very miserable, and you can exchange some money to go back to live. Once the charcoal was sold, the Tang Dynasty didn't know how many people lost an opportunity to make a living. It is impossible to decide which is more important than the other, and it is impossible to say whether it is critical.

I hesitated in my heart, so I put it in my heart. I took the kang room, because there were a lot of poultry raised, and by the way, I said the method of the kang house, the firewood and charcoal were used, and the temperature was not accurate. But after a snowfall, some chickens, ducks and geese in the kang room came out. The people of Huangzhuang came to report the good news.

It's boring to stay in the East Palace, so I took Di Renjie and the others over to watch.

The success rate is not very satisfactory, and in some sense, this is the first artificial incubation.

There are no hens, ducks, geese, chicks, ducklings, and geese running very happily, and their bodies are covered with fluffy hair, and they can't be divided into chickens, ducks and geese.

Little chickens and ducklings, I have seen a lot, but there are so many, but it is very spectacular, Wei Yue and Shangguan Wan'er squatted down, looked at it with a smile, and stroked it with their little hands lovingly.

But for the Wei family's daughter, Li Wei has always been very vigilant, and his heart dictates. If you don't change your heart, it may not be a good thing when you grow up.

Pulled Di Renjie aside and said in a low voice: "Di Qing, I got 10,000 yuan here, and when New Year's Day comes, you take it and use it with Wei Qing." ”

"Ten thousand?"

"Hmm."

Di Renjie couldn't laugh or cry, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the minister always feels that something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Li Wei asked rhetorically, but his eyes were staring into the distance. There was some snow on the slopes of the mountains in the distance, and a thick layer of ice on the swamps. Huangzhuang is now everything is starting to gradually create, the crops do not know where, lotus roots, aunts and so on are still early, but the kang house is not counted, and rows of livestock sheds have been set up under the hillside. But it's still deserted, only in this kang room, there is some life. Li Wei said again: "Di Qing, we still have to survive...... Money may not be very good, and profit is not a gentleman's doing. But with it, something can be done. These are not just rewards for you. If that's the case, Lone will give you some more women from the East Palace, and send some money and silk by the way, you are all Lone's cronies, and others are not good at what to say. If you want to boil, you have to have fire, you have to have soup. Forced to ......"

The first batch of sugar arrived in Luoyang and sold out. Lu Liang and the others sent the profits to the East Palace. Li Wei was useless, but he took it out and sent it to Di Renjie. After all, outside the East Palace, there are many people who support him, but there are very few real cronies.

The palace has to be operated slowly, and some people, such as the old eunuch Li Shoucheng next to his mother, may not be able to buy it no matter how much money he has. But with money, it can buy many people. This is not in a hurry, you can take your time. It's best not to run away, but if you want to be safe, not only now, but also in the future, some money still needs to be spent.

Di Renjie just smiled bitterly.

Overall, it went well.

But some things will always be unexpected, and the sugar in Luoyang is very expensive, and the taxes paid are also very sufficient. This is a righteous act, at least Li Wei will think so. But I didn't expect that because of this, someone began to admonish, and the fold was not presented to the father who was hunting in Ye County.

All arrived at the palace, so Li Wei saw them all.

The others are impeccable, and can be made in the name. What kind of Holy Emperor Candy, Holy Queen Sugar, could it be that the two Holy Lords let ordinary people eat it every day?
