Chapter 327: On the Sugar Factory
After making sure that it was indeed his own voice, the old man began to speak at length. Maybe it was because I had been suppressed for a long time because of the problem of my voice during the Great Dynasty Meeting before, but I released it all of a sudden, and I talked for more than half an hour.
It is worthy of the former vice president of Oskaia Imperial University, who said a reasonable and well-founded one, in response to some recent events, picking up the gaps and telling some small details that many people have not noticed.
In the end, because the time was too long, he himself was a little embarrassed, looking at the microphone in front of him, he loved it very much, although he was still a little unsatisfied, but he still gave the time to others.
Gülen listened to it with relish on stage, he didn't expect that there would be so many flaws in some of his decisions, although the problems were not too big, but after accumulating a lot, there would be problems sooner or later.
"This is a great sage, it's just because I don't want to talk too much at the court meeting because of my voice, and I don't have the opportunity to talk to me, so I hold back my opinion. It seems that I will need to ask the old man more in the future. Gülen thought to herself.
......
This court meeting was very successful, and many people spoke freely on the podium, and some of them, like the old minister, did not want to talk more in the past, and held back for a long time before they spit out their hearts.
There are also purely the novelty of the megaphone, mentioning a small thing repeatedly, and wanting to listen to their own voice in the megaphone.
In any case, the megaphone made communication smoother, and the time of the Great Pilgrimage was extended, and it was not until late that Glenn returned to the Magic Tower.
Even after such a long meeting, Gülen didn't feel a sore throat at all, and she was in a very happy mood.
What was the Imperial Meeting? It was a meeting in which His Majesty the Emperor and the important ministers of the empire listened to what was going on in various parts of the empire, and then held a meeting to resolve it.
If the people below are too lazy to speak, then what kind of big court meeting will there be? Even if it is a small matter, there may be a hidden crisis behind it.
Since they had already informed the people of the Magic Tower in advance that they were holding a big pilgrimage meeting and would come back later, everyone was not worried, and they did not wait for Glenn for dinner.
When Glenn returned, only Dennis and Flandy had not meditated, but had been waiting for him to return.
"How's that? Is that megaphone any good?" asked Dennis anxiously as soon as he saw Gülen return.
"It's so good, it's so good!" Gülen was pleased with the amplifier's efficacy.
"Frandy, when will I be able to build my amplifiers, I'm waiting to use them there!"
The more Glenn said that it was easy to use, the more anxious Dennis became, and today he also had a big court meeting, and his throat has not eased up until now.
Franky smiled bitterly and said: "Dennis, the megaphone factory has not yet been built, and it can only be manufactured manually, so you should wait, at least it will take a few days." ”
"As long as it can be installed before the next pilgrimage, I'll give you a thousand gold coins!" Dennis said boldly.
"Cut, it's just a thousand gold coins, what is that enough for?" said Frandy disdainfully.
He had a thousand gold coins just for Candace, not to mention thousands of gold coins for those researchers in the Third Laboratory.
"Uh, I can't compare with you, the rich man, so how about three thousand gold coins?" Dennis gritted his teeth and said a price that made him a little painful.
Of course, the royal family of the Witton Empire will not be short of money, but this is to say that before, in the past six months, in order to rebuild the palace, the gold coins spent are like flowing water, and this is because it is to repair the palace, and those merchants who sell materials do not dare to ask for too high a price.
Otherwise, no amount of gold will be enough to fill this bottomless pit.
Don't think that the palace has been completely built, and now the palace of the Viton Empire has only rebuilt a few important palaces, and there are still a lot of broken walls. There are no decades to think of a full return to the size it used to be.
Even the current council hall is very simple, with almost no decoration, and it is completely a large house.
So Dennis is a little reluctant to even take out three thousand gold coins now.
"Okay, okay!" Flandie didn't want to squeeze him too much, and the three thousand gold coins to those in the third laboratory could give each of them another hundred gold coins, which was not less.
The next morning, Franky asked Tom and Jerry to tell the news to the scientists at the Third Laboratory, who cheered when they heard that another large sum of income was about to be credited.
However, for the time being, I didn't tell them that they were going to install it in the council hall of the Viton Empire, although the high-level officials of the two countries have intended to make it public, but after all, this matter is still in a state of secrecy, if it is said now, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of people and some bad things will happen.
......
Is 3,000 gold coins too much? Not too much, that is, equivalent to the purchasing power of 30 million RMB in the previous life.
For Flandie, the three thousand gold coins were like a drizzle, and they were not taken into account at all.
For Dennis, it's just a grit of teeth.
But for ordinary civilians, that's a huge amount of money that can't be earned in a few lifetimes.
Now Old Lei Zhe looked at the three thousand gold coins in front of him and was stunned.
Not only was he stunned, but their family, including his wife, son, daughter-in-law and youngest son, were stunned together.
Only another old man next to him looked at their family with a smile.
"Old Willy, you really didn't lie to me?" Old Lei Zhe looked at the steward of the Wheat Ear Farm in front of him, and said worriedly.
"Of course, the real money is here, what else do you have to worry about? When did my old Willie lie to you?"
"Hmph, when you were a child, you lied to my family to drink sweet water. Old Lei Zhe muttered quietly.
The village of Xiaqu, where the elder Lei Zhe lives, is very close to the Wheat Ear Farm, and his family has been selling sweet water for several generations, and the original land has been replaced by the hill behind the house, and it is long since he stopped growing food.
The Wheat Harvest Farm is the largest rice producer near the south of the city, so the old Lei Zhe's family has been buying rice for food in the Wheat Harvest Farm since childhood, both of them are about 60 years old, and they often played together when they were children, but when they grew up, they all ran around for their livelihoods, but they had less contact.
Although Old Lei Zhe's muttering voice was relatively small, it was also heard by Old Willy, but he didn't have any embarrassment, after all, he was only a few years old at that time, and this little thing was nothing at all.
"Abba, or you can agree......" Old Lei Zhe's eldest son looked at the pile of gold coins in front of him and swallowed his saliva.
"Hmph, what do you know!" old Lei Zhe scolded his son.
"......" The eldest son didn't dare to speak, and continued to look at the gold coin in a daze.
"I said, old Lei Zhe, this is the time when your family is transferred, you must not be confused!"
Even Old Willy was a little anxious, he saw that Old Lei Zhe was still hesitating, and he couldn't stop persuading.
"Old man, it's not that I don't want to take these three thousand gold coins, the problem is that I have to find out all the causes and consequences, right? You are so silent and take three thousand gold coins to let me open a sugar factory, I still don't even know what sugar is. ”
Old Willie patted his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Look at my head, I want you to agree quickly, but I forgot the key thing and give it to you, this is sugar, you can taste it." ”
After speaking, he took out a few small squares wrapped in paper from his pocket and handed them to Old Lei Zhe.
"That's what you call sugar?" Old Lyzer took the little cube, and before Old Willy could say anything, he opened the wrapped paper.
Inside was a brownish-red lump of sugar, which looked a little cloudy.
"Can this be eaten?" asked Old Lei Zhe curiously.
"Of course, sweeter than your sweet water, you taste it. ”
"Good!"
Old Lei Zhe agreed, and put the brown-red sugar cube in his mouth.
When I first put it in my mouth, I just felt a little sweet, but when the saliva melted the sugar cubes, the sweetness became more and more intense, and it was indeed much sweeter than my own sweet water.
"Shhh...... It's really sweet...... "Old Lei Zhe gave the other pieces of sugar to his wife, two sons, and eldest daughter-in-law, and said, "You can taste it too." ”
"It's so sweet!"
"It feels like it's sweeter than our sweet water......"
"Abba, you just say yes!"
“......”
Actually, it's made with your sweet water, but with a few extra processing steps, and if you throw it into the water to dissolve, it tastes almost the same as sweet water. ”
"No wonder the taste is so familiar, but I think this thing called sugar is still better than sweet water." The eldest son said on the side.
Old Lei Zhe frowned and asked, "Man, these pieces of candy should be a lot of sweet water, right? When did you buy so much? Why don't I remember?"
"Hehe, this is not sweet water bought at your house, but made from sugar cane from our wheat ear farm!" said old Willie with a smile.
"Sugar cane? What is sugar cane? Didn't you say it was made with my sweet water? Why did you get another sugar cane?"
"Look!" said old Willie, pointing to the purple "sticks" in the yard where sweet water was being made, "isn't that sugar cane?"
"You mean the sweet stick?"
"Yes, you're called Sweetie, and we're called Sugarcane!"
"Then where did you get all this sugar cane?" said Old Leich, wondering.
Old Willie didn't care if it was called a sweet stalk or a sugar cane, what he cared about was why the wheat spike farm was planted with a sweet stalk.
"Have you forgotten? A young man bought you some sugar cane sprigs for ten gold coins more than a month ago?"
"You mean the young man? Yes, he did buy the sprouts of the sweet stalk from me, and those twigs can indeed grow sweet stalks, but it has only been a little more than a month......
Old Lei Zhe couldn't figure it out, his sweet stalks usually only planted those shoots in January and February, and they couldn't be eaten until March and April of the following year, and the young man had only bought them for a few days.
