"Yes, sugar. The pen is www.biquge.info sugar. Xiao He said.

"The price of white sugar on the market is very high now, and those Chu nobles control all the sugar exports. If we need sugar, we need to import a lot of it from Chu. However, the nobles of Chu State levied high taxes, and they monopolized all business, which was very unfavorable to us. Xiao He said.

"Why is there such a big demand for sugar?" At this time, Yingyu asked.

"The main thing is the demand of the Western Regions, our demand for white sugar, that is, daily, the taste of Qin is salty, while the taste of Chu is sweet. Therefore, we can still meet the daily needs, but the problem is that tea, with the development of tea demand, especially a misunderstanding of tea by people in the Western Regions. Their aristocracy believed that adding sugar to tea water was the practice of the aristocracy, while the practice of the poor was to add salt. As a result, the price of white sugar has been maliciously raised. If we want to sell a lot of tea, we have to have a lot of sugar to sell. But the problem is that the controllers of cane sugar are the nobles of the Chu State. Xiao He said with some regret.

"Hmm. You say that, and I understand. Yingyu nodded and said.

In other words, the largest sales market for white sugar is tea. And not the actual need, right? Yingyu asked at this time.

"Yes." Xiao He nodded.

"I think we're going to have to add a few more varieties. Not just sugar, but also tea. At this time, Yingyu proposed.

"Tea. Yes, there should be tea. At this time, Xiao He said excitedly.

"Hmm. If you think about it again, are there any other varieties that we can also add to futures varieties, and we want to grasp the dominance of these commodities into our hands. Yingyu said to Xiao He.

"Silk, but silk is not easy to control, because the other party's silk has changed too much. There is no uniform style, and we can't have a unified calculation method for how to settle. In my opinion, it is too difficult to add silk. Xiao He said.

"Hmm. So, let's add sugar and tea leaves. However, the difference between the tea leaves seems to be relatively large. At this time, Yingyu suddenly realized.

"Hmm. That's right. Xiao He nodded and said.

"Looks like we can only add one." Yingyu thought about it and said. Because the difference between the tea produced in the tea production area is very large. If it is levied by a uniform standard, it is difficult to cover everything.

"We can leave this to the spot. We can contribute to it, or we can participate in it. In this way, we can also indirectly influence these varieties, but I think that the chairman thinks that we can master these as long as we master white sugar now. Xiao He said.

"The people of Chu control the raw material production area, and we control the market. Demand determines production, and since we control the market, we should dominate the sugar, rather than let the nobles of Chu continue like this. Xiao He said.

"Hmm. You're right, and there's a key technology, we're trading white sugar, and white sugar needs to be processed to turn into white sugar, otherwise those sucrose will never become white sugar. Yingyu said to Xiao He with a smile. Yingyu suddenly understood why Xiao He wanted to increase the variety of white sugar at this time, because white sugar has a technical threshold for processing, if there is no restriction on this technical threshold, Chu State will soon grasp the dominance of the white sugar market, but it is precisely this technical threshold that gives Qin State the opportunity to master the white sugar market.

Subsequently, Yingyu discussed with Xiao He a specific plan, and then let Xiao He deal with the plan, and finally submitted it to the Prime Minister's Office for approval, so that the sugar could be listed and traded. This is a completely new variety, and the listing of this variety of white sugar represents the problem of competition for dominance in production rights and market control. In the current position, the nobles of the Chu State have completely monopolized all the production of sucrose, while the Qin people control most of the market demand, especially the demand for white sugar, because only the Qin State has mastered the white sugar technology, and if the tea wants to be sold at a better price, it must need white sugar to match, so that the Qin State has the dominance of the market, but the cost is rigidly controlled by the Chu nobles, because they have a large number of raw materials in their hands. Under such circumstances, the Qin State had to give the decision to the market, and let the market decide the final direction of sugar.

Zhao Guo Handan on the outskirts of the eastern city. Wuhuan Glass Factory.

"Shopkeeper." A middle-aged man looked at his shopkeeper with very honest eyes.

"What's wrong?" Wu Huan looked up and said at this time. He took a pencil and counted the numbers in the account book, his glass business was not bad, at least he made a small dish, but his factory had to pay a lot of technical patents to those glass factories in the Qin State, from glassware to a large piece of glass. He had to pay a lot of technical patent fees, which ate up a lot of his profits, and he was very distressed about this. But there is no way to be distressed, he must pay such a fee, otherwise, his factory will not have a production license, and if it is found by the Qin people, his factory will go out of business. He couldn't do anything about it.

"Oh. Old Wu. Wu Huan looked up. It turned out to be one of his and one of his distant relatives.

"It's not yet the day of paycheck. There are still a few more days. You need to wait. Wu Huan said at this time. He knew that this Wu Feng must have come to him to ask for a salary. He has explained this to the other party many times. But the other party always makes all kinds of excuses to ask for money, as if he really owes them money.

"Go back. In a few days, I will give you a lot of your salary, don't worry. Wu Huan waved his hand and said.

"No, no. Shopkeeper, you're mistaken. We're not looking for you for money. At this time, Wu Feng was followed by a more honest middle-aged man who said with a bitter face.

"Oh." Heard they weren't here to ask for money. Wu Huan relaxed a little at this time, but he didn't understand why the other party was looking for him.

"You guys, what's the matter?" Wu Huan asked at this time.

"Oh. That's right, shopkeeper. Wu Feng opened his mouth and said.

"Shopkeeper, this is what we stumbled upon and found such a piece of glass. Look. As he spoke, Wu Feng took out a piece of glass from his pocket.

"What's wrong with this glass?" Wu Huan took the glass puzzled, and it seemed to him that this piece of glass was irregular, and it looked like it was knocked out under the broken glass. There's nothing strange about it either.

"Shopkeeper." Wu Feng looked at Wu Huan and said.

"This piece of glass can't be broken, and it can't be smashed. You give it a try, shopkeeper. Wu Feng said with a smile.

"What?" At this time, Wu Huan asked.

"Yes, this piece of glass was knocked down by us from other glasses, so it's irregular, but this piece of glass really can't be broken." Wu Feng continued.

"Hehe, there's such a thing, it's weird. Good. I'll give it a try. Wu Huan said with a smile. As he said that, he threw the glass on the ground, but, strangely, the glass did not break. Instead, it was placed on the ground intact, which greatly surprised Wu Huan.

"That's what you found." Saying that, Wu Huan immediately picked it up and put it in his hand to check the difference, but he felt very strange when he tried again, but it was still the same result.

"Shopkeeper, how's it going? We know how this thing works. Wu Feng said with a smile. He knew that the shopkeeper would be overwhelmed when he saw such glass, and such an expression was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Wait." At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly shouted loudly.

"You, you are, it's tempered glass." At this time, Wu Huan shouted loudly.

"Steel, tempered glass, what's it at this time?" At this time, Wu Feng was at a loss. He didn't know what kind of tempered glass the shopkeeper was talking about, but he knew that this thing would definitely make money, and this was also the glass he had here, so he told the shopkeeper how to do it, and then gave him a lot of money.

"This, this is tempered glass, the so-called tempered glass, that is, the glass was originally fragile, and it has become a piece of glass with the same hardness as the steel plate, this kind of glass is still relatively expensive in the Qin State, how to say." Wu Huan said.

"You know Xianyang Palace, right?" Wu Huan asked at this time.

"Oh." The two of them nodded hurriedly.

"The main hall of Xianyang Palace is made of this kind of tempered glass, and I heard that some bullets can't penetrate it. This glass is very hard. And the price is high, this. How did you come up with it? Wu Huan asked puzzled.

"This. We poured water on this by accident. As a result, we didn't expect the glass to become so hard all of a sudden, and we thought that our jug of water had ruined a good piece of glass. We didn't dare to report it, and planned to break the glass and re-dissolve it, and then do it again. As a result, what we didn't expect was that we found such a piece of glass. At this time, Wu Feng explained.

"Good. Well, you guys did a good job. Wu Huan said.

"You know what? You've discovered a big secret, it's tempered glass, tempered glass. This stuff can be worth a lot of money. These things, it's good. Wu Huan said with a smile.

"This. Shopkeeper's. At this time, Wu Feng said with a smile.

"Oh. I understand this. I will give you these rewards, but there are still some problems in production, and in addition, I will buy you out of this patent fee at one time, and give you this amount, how about it? Saying that, Wu Huan smiled and stretched out five fingers.

"Hardware? That's a lot. Wu Feng said with a smile. And hearing such a number, Wu Huan laughed even more happily. for he is going to pay fifty gold.
