Chapter 136: White Sugar (Bad Mood Plus 2)
"Well, that's what I thought too. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the emperor did not say when he wanted me to go back to confer the knighthood, this kind of thing must not be delayed for too long. So I can only entrust Wang Xuance to help watch and sort it out, and we'll come back to see it after the year. ”
Li Hao also has this plan, there are Uncle Zhong and Erlang watching from Chang'an, plus the steward of Li Ke's mansion and the wife of the martial family watching, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's not too far to transfer Da Lang to this side, but I don't know what Da Lang thinks.
Soon after the eldest man got married, if he was sent here, his wife would have to come with him. It's just that Da Lang's wife is a person, this Li Hao doesn't know very well, he doesn't want any trivial things to come out in the future.
In this way, the manpower to be trained by himself will be accelerated again, and maybe when he goes back at the end of the year, he can conduct an exam on the guys from Lanxiang Technical School. Those teenagers have been training for a year, and there should be some who can become teachers.
"Lack of people! There is still a shortage of people! ”
Thinking of all kinds of shortages, Li Hao felt a special headache. Why don't you have to worry about someone else at all? Even a sweeping uncle can become a big bull who quickly receives the high-tech of the future, but he can't do it himself, and he has a headache.
In any case, I have to increase the training of manpower. Now it's just a business in three cities, and if it is to be rolled out in Datang, this manpower will be even more insufficient.
It's still too late to hurry up and cultivate, and the people in Tanzhou will be able to use it then. I'm only a teenager, and if I spend another ten years training people, it's enough to use people myself.
Otherwise, the bigger the stall you spread out in the future, the more manpower you will have to use. Compared with others, these people who have been adopted by themselves plus the system bonus are much more loyal and reliable, and now the auxiliary training function provided by the system is becoming more and more powerful.
Li Hao only needs to spend some more points to exchange a large space for that auxiliary cultivation system. In the future, as long as your subordinates can be linked to the food industry, everyone in it can receive Li Hao's training in their dreams, and they can be used in the entire Datang territory.
Some of the skills and knowledge in the system can also be exchanged for points and directly used on the newly found teenagers. In this way, as long as Li Hao can acquire enough people in the future, he will be able to cultivate more talents.
Of course, this is the gastronomic system. Li Hao wants to train people, he has to start with food, and then bring a little other content to training. This is a trade-off method, which is much more convenient than Li Hao going to every place for training.
The lack of suitable manpower has something to do with this era, and Li Hao has no good way. It is difficult for him to be taken seriously at this time, whether it is a person who can settle accounts, or has cooking or other skills, otherwise he can recruit in various cities.
It is not that there are no such people in this era, but most of these people are either concentrated in the hands of those families or those wealthy merchants, or they go alone, and few are left to be free people.
It's really hard to recruit people in this area, and there are really not many people who are free people at this time. Maybe it's easier to go to the slave market and buy some. This is due to the times, and it is not so easy to change.
"Brother Xian, we've stopped in Luoyang for enough time. If you have anything else to explain, let's explain it first, and then come here to see when we return next year, and it's better to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible. ”
Soon, Li Ke ran over to urge Chang'an back. They have stopped in Luoyang for a few days, and if they drag it on, it will be the Spring Festival. At that time, Li Er will not be impatient to wait, and then remove Li Hao's title, it will be a big loss.
"Good! I don't have much to prepare here. It is not a big problem for Wang Xuance to help me see those places, and it will be good to arrange someone to come over and watch it next year. ”
To Li Hao's surprise, when they left, Ruyan and Chun Tao also came over. Li Hao saw that Ruyan and the two were living a difficult life in Luoyang, and the two were unwilling to continue their previous livelihood, so they agreed to teach them something.
However, the time of this teaching has not been determined, I didn't expect this girl to know that she was going back to Chang'an, and she was ready to go to Chang'an to study and study together, so that Li Hao didn't have to take time to train them.
"Sister Ruyan, you take a car with me." Wu Shun seemed to have known that Ruyan would come over, and after seeing these two girls, he immediately invited them to sit in the same car with him. Her carriage was wide enough, big enough, and comfortable enough.
Li Hao wants to teach some things like smoke Wu Shun will also, and when he is in Tanzhou, Wu Shun will also learn to make a snack and something like that, so she can still popularize this girl on the road. It's not difficult for a girl to do these things, if she does it well, not to mention supporting herself, it's possible to make a lot of money.
That's right, what Li Hao wants to teach Ruyan is the practice of some pastries in later generations, which are all delicacies that are not available at this time, and are still suitable for the taste of Luoyang or the northwest. If you can learn a few things like smoke, and then manage it carefully, how can you not make money?
"Sister Wushun, what kind of sugar is this brown sugar? Is it red caramel sugar? "When the car went to Chang'an, Wu Shun and Ruyan master and servant made some sweets, and all kinds of sugar were naturally unusable.
"No, brown sugar, white sugar, and rock sugar are not the same as caramel sugar, they are sugars made from sugar cane, which are much sweeter than caramel sugar!" After hearing this, Wu Shun explained to Chun Tao with a smile, and then took out some three kinds of candy from his car.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the sugar used in the Tang Dynasty was basically caramel sugar, and there was also a small amount of stone sugar - this was the name of the earliest white sugar transported from Persia, India, which was far from the white sugar like snow.
The large-scale use of white sugar will not be seen everywhere in the Tang Dynasty until Li Er sent people to Persia and India to learn the art of boiling sugar. But now Li Er doesn't have this idea at all, so sugar boiling will naturally not appear in Datang.
There was no Li Er who sent people to learn the art of boiling sugar, and white sugar, brown sugar and rock sugar appeared on Wushun's side. This is naturally the credit of Li Hao, and he himself did not expect to see people growing sugarcane around Tanzhou, which was a fortuitous discovery.
Originally, I thought that the production technology of the white sugar I got would take a while before I could use it, or I could use it after going to Lingnan. Unexpectedly, he saw sugarcane forests around Tanzhou, which made Li Hao's mind immediately come alive.
It's a pity that there aren't many sugarcane forests over there, and sugarcane takes up a lot of land. For the area around Tanzhou, there is really not much land area that can be used, and this side is hilly. Most of the arable land has gone to grow food, and there are only a few sugarcane forests.
For ordinary people, sugarcane is just a dispensing, not a necessity. Sugarcane cultivation is naturally not valued much compared to being able to eat a full stomach, and it is still reliable to grow food.
There are not many sugarcane forests, and Li Hao does not make too much sugar. However, he also has a system mall, which can be exchanged for points in the system. Because Li Hao also made white sugar himself, the points exchanged for white sugar in the system are not high.
"This sugar is so white! It's the same as snow! After Chun Tao saw the white sugar that Wu Shun took out, her eyes lit up. This white sugar is so white, it looks very pleasing to the eye, she carefully got a little bit and put it in her mouth to taste it, "Well, it's really sweet!" ”
"If you use this sugar to make those pastries, won't it cost too much?" Ruyan's knowledge is not less, but she is still surprised to see this kind of sugar like snow. This sugar is so white! It's unbelievably white.
Immediately, like smoke, like a spring peach, I carefully got a little sugar and put it in my mouth, it was so sweet! It's so sweet! It's just that the price of this quality sugar is not too low, and it feels difficult to make money with this to make pastries.
"Now the production of this sugar is not high, so the price will be a little more expensive. But soon it will be mass-produced, and the price will become cheaper and cheaper. But the people who can afford to eat these things will not be poor people, don't worry about them being reluctant to spend money! ”
The way Wu Shun speaks now is more and more like Li Hao's approach, and even his thoughts are approaching. Wu Shun, a pastry shop like smoke, is ready to work together to make it, and the technology and raw materials will be produced here, and then the two families will share the money, so naturally they don't have to worry about whether the sugar will be too expensive.
This is Wu Shun's own private property, maybe it is the dowry money she earns for herself in the future, and she will naturally be very concerned. Li Hao didn't know about this, but when he knew it, he just laughed it off, and he wasn't short of money at all now!
After a batch of sugarcane is planted on a large scale in Tanzhou next year, the output of white sugar will have a certain amount of output. Moreover, the businessmen in Tanzhou are still planning to go to Lingnan to buy sugarcane, and the sugarcane production there will be much larger.
After the two-pronged approach, next year's sugar output will definitely be a lot, but this sugar is controlled in Li Hao's hands, how much money can be earned, and who to sell it first, Wu Shun will naturally be able to win benefits for his own industry.
"Brother Xian, the Cui family and the Li family are dead, and they are both descendants of the lineage, I'm afraid this matter will become more and more serious."
When walking with Li Hao, Li Ke was silent and said. He now knows what happened in Luoyang City, like Wang Xuance, the first person Li Ke thought of was Li Hao, maybe only he had this kind of means.
You must know that they were still discussing how to kill those three people before, otherwise they would always be worried about those people, and they would be tied to what they did. It's just that this way of killing people is too exaggerated, just eating something will cost you three lives!
"Isn't it normal for people to die? What day in the world does no one die? Why can't their Cui family and the Li family die? Li Hao knew what Li Ke meant by this, but this matter had already been unable to be good at this time.
