"Little Hou Ye, we sent it! During this period of time, our government has earned more money than the sum of the past ten years, and our government no longer has to worry about money. Liu Zhong said excitedly while waving the abacus that Liu Hong had just invented.

"Okay, Uncle Zhong, you don't have to be so excited, what a little money, the big head is still behind, there will be times to make you excited in the future!" Don't look at Liu Hong's light words, in fact, he is quite excited now.

"The little marquis is right, the big head is really still behind!" Liu Zhong echoed Liu Hong, and said on the other hand: "I really didn't expect that it would be okay to make money with flower water and soap, but I didn't expect that even sugar could make money like this!" If I had known earlier, I would have bought more brown sugar to decolorize, and while I had the New Year, I would have doubled it and it would have been sold cleanly! ”

Speaking of sugar, Liu Hong is quite satisfied, and it can be seen from this point that the housekeeper Liu Zhong is flexible and has outstanding ability, and he is definitely a talent.

There is no sugar production in the north, and Liu Hong, a lazy man, has never considered sugar production. He just wrote down everything he knew when he was sorting out the technology, and the production process of white sugar was one of them.

After the housekeeper obtained these techniques, he arranged for people to experiment. Although sugar is not produced in the north, the decolorization method in the production of white sugar has attracted his attention. Then he bought a batch of brown sugar for decolorization, and then got it to sell in the capital.

The color of white sugar is like snow, and the appearance is quite good-looking, as soon as it arrived in the capital, it caused a sensation, forming a popular trend, attracting major nobles to buy it, and also making white sugar a symbol of status. Whoever holds a banquet, if you don't put a plate of sugar, it is quite a shameless thing. And this incident also directly caused the Hou Mansion to make a fortune.

"Uncle Zhong, this is good, the money is endless. Besides, there will be opportunities in the future, and the New Year is approaching, so we can't always think about making money, and we have to prepare some New Year's goods for the house. ”

"Little Marquis, don't worry, the New Year's goods are ready, and most of them are shipped from the capital to the top of the goods, we haven't seen such a high-quality goods in our house for a long time, this is all thanks to the little Marquis!"

"Oh, they're all the best goods, so I'll have to see them!" For the high-end goods of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong was quite curious.

Liu Hong and Liu Zhong came to the warehouse together, and when they saw the mountains of New Year's goods, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Where is this to prepare New Year's goods, this is simply to open a shopping mall!" However, based on these years, it can also be seen that the Hou Mansion has really solved the economic crisis, otherwise, it would definitely not have purchased so many things. ”

"Food, delicacies from the mountains and seas. The silk and satin used and the high-grade fur, even if Liu Hong doesn't know how to do it, he can see that it is all first-class things. Hey, this is cabbage, this is peanuts, why are these two also regarded as high-end goods, put here? For these two things that were common in later generations, Liu Hong was very strange.

"Little Hou Ye, this is originally a high-end product! This sap, that is, the cabbage you said, it grows in the south of the Yangtze River, if you don't make out of the out-of-season vegetables, it is almost the only green vegetable that can be eaten in winter, which is quite valuable! Besides, this peanut is even more amazing, Emperor Guangwu loved to eat this peanut back then, and even had it in the funeral goods. ”

"Oh, since it's all good things, let's plant some of them, and the land we bought new one just doesn't have anything to grow, so let's plant a little more of them, especially this peanut, this thing is a good thing for oil extraction, we must plant a little more."

"Okay, little marquis, don't worry!"

The Spring Festival is coming soon, this year's Hou Mansion is rich, and on the night of the festival, there is a feast in the house.

The doorman came to see that the banquet was too rich, not only with all kinds of stir-fried dishes, but also with the hot pot that the little marquis drummed up. This hot pot is a good thing, on a cold day, around the stove, the tender mutton is soaked inside, not to mention how delicious it tastes.

It's just a banquet, and it's nothing, during this time, the Hou Mansion is better, and it will be held from time to time. The main reason is that Hou Ye Liu Chang dragged his sick body, personally attended the banquet, and gave everyone a big red envelope, which made everyone happy.

Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is half a month, although the festive energy of the Spring Festival has not faded, but people have begun to get busy, because it will not be long before the spring ploughing will begin.

Others are busy, but Liu Hong is not idle, he is planning the ecological farm he wants to build. Although Liu Hong had never done this thing in his previous life, he still knew the general thing.

Although the soil quality is not very good, most of it is saline-alkali land, and there are two small hills in the middle, but the area is quite large, with tens of thousands of acres.

With such a large area, this planning is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult to be scientific and reasonable. Liu Hong didn't specialize in this, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes and omissions in the design, but in order to make the layout of the farm more scientific and reasonable, he could only design little by little.

After all, Liu Hong is not one of those leaders in later generations, no matter what project is repeatedly demolished, there is no pressure at all after the construction and demolition. He thinks that the project should be improved as much as possible during the design process, and it would be better to have less rework after the start of construction. After all, this is all his own money, and he has tossed a lot, even if others don't scold him for being a loser, he will feel distressed.

In order to design this wasteland, Liu Hong went to the wasteland to conduct field investigations. The saline-alkali land could not be cultivated, so Liu Hong asked people to dig the soil there to make bricks, and the big pit formed after taking the soil, Liu Hong used it to grow lotus root and raise fish.

With bricks, a kiln can burn bricks, since you want a kiln, Liu Hong simply has a few more, and fires glass, porcelain, cement, lime and so on. However, although Liu Hong has seen their production methods in books, he has not actually made them after all, so he can only say them, so the craftsmen can slowly explore the production.

Kiln firing is a heavily polluting industry, and Liu Hong doesn't want to see blue skies and white clouds in the place where he lives. So at the beginning, Liu Hong increased the protection of the environment, tried every means to reduce pollution, even if it increased a lot of investment for this, Liu Hong did not hesitate.

Liu Hong is not uncommon in later generations to suffer from environmental pollution, and he doesn't want to follow in his footsteps. These kiln sites and paper workshops are so close to where he lives, if he doesn't pay attention to environmental protection, he will still be behind when he is unlucky.

For environmental protection, not only the housekeepers, but even those craftsmen, did not raise objections. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, the Han Dynasty ruled the country with the Taoist Huang Lao thought for many years, and the idea of the unity of heaven and man was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone knows that the heavens and the earth are polluted, and people are definitely not much better. Therefore, people attach great importance to environmental protection and do everything possible to protect the environment.

The problem of environmental protection has been solved, and Liu Hong is also very concerned about the construction of wasteland. He has already planned, he wants to build this place into a permanent base, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, this base is not going to be abandoned, but to turn it into a pure scientific research base, as a hole card in his hands.

Liu Hong was busy planning the wasteland, and saw the housekeeper running over in a hurry, Liu Hong knew that something big must have happened, otherwise, the housekeeper would not behave like this.

"Uncle Zhong, what happened, why are you so flustered?"

Liu Zhong took Liu Hong to a place where there was no one, and said in a low voice: "Little Marquis, our house has been annihilated, and there are still two of them." Due to the suddenness of the incident, I was defenseless, and only caught one of them, and the other ran away, and did not catch it, and our sugar decolorization method has been leaked. ”

"! Dare to eat inside and outside and take advantage of me, it's so fucking impatient! Liu Hong hated the traitor the most, and wanted to go back to rectify the internal annihilation, but Liu Hong was very curious, who was thinking about him, so he asked: "Uncle Zhong, who arranged these two internal annihilations?" Why is it that even a mansion like ours is remembered? ”

"Back to the little marquis, according to the confession of the internal annihilation that was caught, it was the housekeeper of Empress Deng's family who found them a few days ago and asked them to find a way to get those secret methods in our house. As long as the matter is successful, Empress Deng will come forward and promote them as officials in front of His Majesty. ”

"Empress Deng?! Is it Deng Mengnu, who was just made queen a few years ago? She's paying attention to us so quickly? "Liu Hong doesn't care much about the sugar decolorization method, after all, there are many projects like this, and it doesn't matter if one is leaked. What Liu Hong cares about is whether he has been noticed by those big forces, if it really attracts their attention, it is not a good thing, and it will lead to infinite variables for him to ascend the throne in the future.
