At this time, the manufacturing process of cane sugar had not yet been introduced to the Central Plains from India, but sugarcane had already been cultivated in the south.

Qu Yuan wrote in "Chu Ci" that "the turtle cannon lamb has some syrup", in which "Zhe" refers to sugarcane, and the word "sugarcane" is only in the Han Dynasty.

However, before the Tang Dynasty, the local processing of sugarcane stopped at boiling soup, and in the early Han Dynasty, the original cane sugar product "stone honey" could also be used as a tribute to Gaozu.

After the Tang Dynasty, the strong Central Plains civilization not only preached majesty and technology to the Quartet, but also actively absorbed the craftsmanship of the surrounding countries, including the sugar making process of Tianzhu, and Taizong even sent an envoy to India to study.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the "yellow mud water drenching decolorization method" was pioneered, which can easily produce pure color white sugar from sucrose.

Bai Tu is now in Jiangdong, Yuzhang and Huiji are all sugarcane-producing places, and there are still a lot of sugarcane in the treasury, which is to be dedicated to the imperial court.

If there is no corresponding process for this thing, the boiling water is not very sweet, and the real big guys drink honey......

Originally, Bai Tu didn't want to engage in all these bells and whistles until he survived the drought that began next winter, but so many craftsmen with long-term contracts were idle, so they couldn't be used to dig wells, right? That's too wasteful......

So Bai Tu started the idea of these sugarcanes, after all, boiling sugar, there is no cost, and with its own technical guidance, it is easy to produce white sugar and rock sugar.

Moreover, it has developed the "yellow mud water drenching decolorization method", the color of rock sugar, and some people believe it in today's jewelry!

In addition to coaxing children, Bai Tu also secretly sent people to Huainan to peddle - if Bai Tu is not mistaken, a certain Yuan family sister-in-law who does not want to be named likes to drink honey water.

Under the circumstance that Baitu can limit production, rock sugar, a "jewel-like sweetness", is definitely countless times more valuable than honey, and although Huainan is now short of military rations, it has not reached the extent of restricting grain trading......

As long as the profit is sufficient, the local Haoyou in Huainan is also willing to quietly resell grain and rock sugar on both sides of the strait in various ports!

Bai Tu decided to help the people of Huainan first, exchange the grain from the rotten and erosive ruler's treasury, and make it into "relief grain" for preservation, so that they can be rescued in time when the drought comes in the future!

"Big brother, there is one thing, I ......" Sun Ce looked a little embarrassed.

"Huh? You and my brother, what can't you say? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to someone's young lady and want your eldest brother to help you propose? Bai Tu asked.

Zhou Yu pouted on the side - you will go down the pole and propose? Dasha's mother-in-law is still there, and you don't need to be a brother-in-law to propose marriage, right?

"No, no, no, it's my father's old subordinates, that is, Uncle Cheng and Uncle Huang...... When I was in Huainan before, Yuan Shu suppressed us in every way, and now although I have returned to Jiangdong, several uncles still have compassion in their hearts and hope to continue to ...... under the command of the younger brother" Sun Ce said with some embarrassment.

Bai Tu frowned when he heard this: "You and my brother, can't you still trust me?" ”

Sun Ce was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and said in his heart that Bai Tu would have an opinion, but at this time, he only heard Bai Tu say: "Since you and I are brothers, what is the difference between them following me and following you?" Why should the second brother be a little daughter? ”

"Big brother......" In Sun Ce's eyes, Bai Tu seemed to be about to exude a thousand rays of light.

"Now although the eldest brother theoretically has no right to let you open your teeth and build a mansion, but ...... The personnel of the Taishou Mansion accept their orders, and you can make your own decisions, but on the side of the civil ministers, they must be inspected by the Ministry of Officials, and the military must abide by military discipline. ”

"Taishou?" Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, when Yuan Shu was there, Sun Ce was shaken several times, and he did not implement a position of Taishou.

After all, Taishou is in name, and he has been able to governor the military administration of a county, and he can be regarded as having his own "family background".

"Yes, I was also preparing to go to the imperial court to dissect Yuzhang County into three counties, and then one county in the north will be entrusted to you!" Bai Tu said.

However, Bai Tu is not blindly "entrusted", and he also repeatedly reminded Sun Ce about the assessment of officials and military discipline.

It's just that in terms of specific candidates, Sun Ce can recommend them on his own.

As for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, Bai Tu didn't want to take them apart and put them under Sun Ce, but it was more efficient.

It's like Bai Tu didn't think about removing Chen Gong and the others from Lu Bu's command.

……

In the first year of Jian'an, the white map was shown above, and the northern counties of Yuzhang County were analyzed, and "Poyang County" was set up, and the county governed Poyang, the southern part of Yuzhang was analyzed, and the counties where the Shanyue Rebellion was even worse, and "Luling County" was set up, and the county governed Xichang.

At the same time, Sun Ce is the Taishou of Poyang, and Zhou Shang is the Taishou of Luling.

Sun Ce...... Is it the son of Bundai? and Zhou Shang...... Yuan Shu is stupid! Bai Tu ...... "After Cao Cao saw the song, a trace of inexplicability flashed in his eyes.

When he saw these names, Cao Cao once again felt that something was wrong in Bai Tu's recital - the first time he felt bad because of Bai Tu was when he learned that he and Lu Bu took office together, and it was also rumored that Bai Tu worshiped Lu Bu and asked his father-in-law!

What exactly is this operation? Aren't you a great Confucian? Are the Confucians so shameless now?

Although I don't know now, what kind of snack Bai Tu has to do, but looking at these two Tai Shou who are guarding, I know that Sun Jian's relics, as well as the Zhou family who joined the service, have now fallen to Bai Tu!

"What do you think?" After Cao Cao told the news, he asked his staff in the Sikong Mansion.

I saw that at this time, Cao Cao's left-handed first scribe was wearing a Jinxian crown, wearing a blue indigo lining, mainly black, and a robe with red lines on the edges, but the hairstyle can be seen from the temples under the crown It is short hair, and the appearance is also very young, and there is a feeling of a baby - it is the trump card of the Yingchuan Xun family, Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo!

At this time, I also read the transcription of the song, and after hearing Cao Cao's words, he said: "Yuzhang County is divided into three parts, but it is the righteousness that it should be, and now Jiangdong Mountain is gradually rising, which is even more important to Yuzhang, and the counties in the south of Yuzhang are even more so, and the Poyang counties in the north of Yuzhang are located in the area of Xinjiang and Pojiang, and there are a lot of plastered places, and compared with the stable livelihood of the people in the central and southern regions, it can be used as a land for tuntian......

Since Bai Gong has also begun to implement Tuntian, it is also the proper meaning to divide Yuzhang County into three parts to facilitate the rule and sorting out in different ways. ”

Xun Yu has never been to Yuzhang County, but he knows the situation in Yuzhang County very well.

This was rare in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was vast, but transportation and communication were very inconvenient at this time, which made officials and people in different regions lack mutual understanding.

In particular, Jiangdong has not experienced the first development of Soochow at this time, and in the impression of many Central Plains people, this is "the north can produce some grain, the coastal can produce some salt, and the rest are poor mountains and bad waters".

When it comes to Shanyue, including most of the princes in the court, all that comes to mind is that there are wild men and robbers all over the mountains in Jiangdong, but they don't know the difference between Shanyue and Shanyue, let alone the principle of "divide and rule".

However, although Xun Yu is in the Central Plains, although he does not talk about the situation in Yuzhang, he also has a good understanding of it......
