It's almost time. Luo

In a remote courtyard dappled with sunlight and shadows of trees.

Xu Yi and a group of subordinate officials exchanged a few words of greeting.

Immediately, under the guidance of the white-haired officials of the Yanwang Mansion who had passed a year.

walked towards the depths of the small courtyard without hurrying.

Fang and his party went to the depths of the small courtyard.

As far as the eye can see, there are several large bookcases filled with the four treasures of the study room and the brand-new food stamps.

"Lord Wang, please take a look." Luo

The white-haired subordinate officer who was over the age of Jiazi took down two brand-new food stamps from the bookcase.

Then he presented it to Xu Yi with both hands.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and after receiving two brand-new food stamps from the hands of his subordinates.

Then place it in the sunlight and take a closer look.

At first glance.

The two food stamps are large and small, and the paper is not used.

There is no difference. Luo

Even the special patterns and handwriting in it.

If you don't look closely.

It's hard to spot the subtle differences.

"The left is false, the right is true."

After a while, Xu Yi handed the food stamps in his hand to the subordinate officer beside him.

"The prince has good eyesight."

After the New Year, the white-haired subordinate officer took the food stamps with both hands and secretly patted a horse. Luo

"Although the ministers are very good at copying."

"But calligraphy, it's often a one-person gesture."

"Even if you go out of the same school, it's hard to do the same word."

"Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, the Yan grain stamp should be more than the secret detention."

The gray-haired subordinate officer calmed down for a moment, and then reported truthfully.

"Yes."

"I have to work on a charter." Luo

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then admonished.

If the purpose of the previous camp compound was to issue new food stamps.

Then the meaning of the existence of this small courtyard is anti-counterfeiting.

When the time comes, it will be possible in the future.

Yan silver tickets can be born in the two small courtyards here.

"The prince is serious."

"Serve the king." Luo

"The honor of your courtiers."

The white-haired subordinate officer calmed down for a moment, and then bowed solemnly.

Xu Yi smiled and didn't say much.

Under the guidance of the white-haired subordinate officer, he took a closer look at the small courtyard here.

Then he turned back to the military aircraft building again.

......

...... Luo

Two quarters of an hour later.

In the study on the second floor of the Wang Daying Military Aircraft Building.

Xu Yi sat on the Taishi chair with a solemn expression.

Slowly, he flipped through the slightly heavy account book in his hand.

The books in his hands are not anything else.

It is all the expenses of Wang Daying in recent days.

Such as the daily use of grain and grass. Luo

Such as daily exercise wear.

For example, the maintenance of armor, bows and crossbows, etc.

Lines and pages of words are described, and what is represented is the yellow, orange, orange, grain, grass, and white flowers.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe an hour or two long.

Maybe a quarter or two of an hour short.

Just after Xu Yifang finished reading the final summary. Luo

Just as I was about to get up and stretch my muscles.

An extremely familiar footstep suddenly sounded outside the study on the second floor of the Military Aircraft Building.

"Sixth Master."

Outside the study on the second floor of the military aircraft building.

Yang Xian'an stood respectfully outside the door with a mahogany tray in his hand.

"Enter."

"Yes." Luo

After getting Xu Yi's consent.

Yang Xian'an agreed, and then gently bumped his shoulder

Open the study door.

"Sixth Master."

"Courtesy of the Cane Sugar Workshop."

Yang Xian'an repeated his old tricks and closed the door again.

Then he walked towards Xu Yixing with a mahogany tray in his hand.

"From the Sugar Workshop?" Luo

Xu Yi's heart moved when he heard this, and then he opened his mouth and ordered, "Submit it."

"Yes."

Yang Xian'an agreed, and then walked to the bookcase.

Both hands presented the mahogany tray in his hand in front of Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked intently.

I saw that in the mahogany tray were neatly placed three porcelain plates with exquisite shapes and white jade.

The objects contained in the porcelain plate on the left are crystal clear. Luo

It is the most familiar white sugar in Xu Yi's memory.

The contents of the porcelain plate in the center are slightly cloudier than the white sugar, but they are dozens of times larger, the size of a thumb fingernail.

Inside it is the thing of rock candy.

Although the object contained in the porcelain plate on the right is the same size as the object contained in the porcelain plate in the center, the whole body is as crystal clear as amber.

Xu Yi calmed down a little, and reached out to pinch a small pinch of white sugar.

Place it in your mouth and savor it.

The sugar melts in an instant and turns into a trace of sweetness down the throat. Luo

"Taste."

Xu Yi savored a few breaths, and then invited him.

"Yes."

Yang Xian'an agreed, and then reached out and picked up a small pinch of white sugar and put it in his mouth.

After counting the interest.

Yang Xian'an's expression visibly changed.

"It's so sweet." Luo

Yang Xian'an praised unsatisfactorily.

"Not sweet enough."

Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally.

Although it has long forgotten what white sugar tastes like in later generations.

But he instinctively felt that the sweetness of white sugar in later generations far exceeded that of his talents.

If you think about it, it should be because of the yellow peel fruit cane.

As for the boiling method? Luo

There should be no problem.

The boiling method in his book is the ancient method used by a distant relative in his previous life.

That is, the heavenly work is written to build a sugar car first.

"Whoever makes a sugar cart shall make two horizontal plates, five feet long, five inches thick, and two feet wide, with two holes at both ends."

"A little bamboo shoot out of the upper bamboo shoot, and two or three feet out of the bottom bamboo shoot, bury it in the soil, so that it will not be shaken."

"Two eyes are chiseled in the upper board, and two giant shafts are juxtaposed, and the wood is used to be heavy, and the shaft wood is seven feet in circumference."

"The two axes, one three feet long, the other four feet and five inches long, and the elders of them plough and plow the burden, and use bent wood to carry them, and they are one foot and five feet long." Luo

"So that the bull regiment can be turned away."

"The shaft is chiseled and the male and female are assigned, and the seams must be straight and round, round and sutured."

"Sandwiching cane in the middle, rolling through, synonymous with cotton driving."

As soon as the sugar cart comes out, you can boil the jaggery sugar.

When the jaggery sugar comes out, the white sugar is boiled in the same way as that of the heavenly creation.

That is: "Where Fujian and Guangnan pass through the winter old cane, use the car with the same method."

"Squeeze the juice into the jar, and see the water splash is the color of fire, and the flowers are fried until they are tender, like boiling soup." Luo

"Twist with your hands, and stick your hands to believe it."

"This fashion is yellow and black, and it is served in barrels until it condenses into black sand."

"Then put it on the jar with a tile."

"It slips wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, and has a small hole at the bottom, which is plugged with grass."

"Pour the black sand in the bucket, and when the black sand is settled, then remove the grass from the hole."

"Pour it with yellow mud water, and the black trickle will go into the tank."

"The inside is full of white sugar, and the top layer is about five inches thick, and it is unusually white." Luo

Rock candy is even simpler.

That is, "those who make rock candy fry the sugar, use egg white to remove the scum and wait for the color of the fire."

"Use the new green bamboo to break into slices, cut them into them, and after a night, they will become natural ice cubes."

"Lions, tigers, elephants, sailboats, people, etc., are made of fine materials by people."

In the study on the second floor of the Wang Daying Military Aircraft Building.

Xu Yi calmed down for a while, and then commanded: "In the king's camp, there are 100 acres of fields within a radius of ten miles."

"Choose a big, sweet one and plant it in the soil." Luo

"And so on for years to come."

In fact, the sweetness of the white sugar that Xu Yi tasted has exceeded that of nearly seventy percent of the honey on the market.

But it has always been to do things either not to do it, and to do it to the best.

"Yes."

Yang Xian'an's expression was correct when he heard this, and then he bowed his hand.

"Besides."

"Herald Chai Baoyi." Luo

"Ordered him to prepare three thousand medicine jade jars."

"The medicine jade jar is three inches high and two inches wide."

"The style is as beautiful and elegant as possible."

"When the jade jar arrives at the sugar factory."

"White sugar, white rock sugar, and yellow rock sugar are each divided into 1,000."

"Select 500 cans of white sugar, 500 cans of white rock sugar, and 500 cans of yellow rock candy and ship them to Jingshi for sale."

"Select 200 cans of white sugar, 200 cans of white rock sugar, and 200 cans of yellow rock sugar to be shipped to the hinterland of the Central Plains for sale." Luo

"Another 200 cans of white sugar, 200 cans of white rock sugar, and 200 cans of yellow rock sugar were shipped to Jingchu and other places for sale."

"Among them, a can of white granulated sugar costs 120 taels, and a can of white rock sugar costs 150 taels."

"The name of the yellow rock candy was changed to amber rock candy, and the price of each can was 200 taels, and a family could buy up to three cans."

Xu Yi groaned for a few breaths, and then the lion opened his mouth.

"Six...... Sixth Master ......"

"One hundred and twenty taels...... One hundred and fifty taels...... Two hundred taels ......"

"This ...... The price is ...... Whether....... Is it a little too high....... basket?

Yang Xian'an, who originally had a normal complexion, was instantly dumbfounded when he heard Xu Yi's pricing.

"Not high."

"Things are still precious."

"What's more, it's not just the medicine jade jar and sugar that Gu sells are selling."

Xu Yi chuckled, then got up and poured water into the inkstone and grinded it carefully.

"Stunned."

"Except...... Except for the medicine jade jar and sugar." Luo

"Yet...... And also...... What else?"

Yang Xian'an asked puzzled.

"And the stories that are still being written."

Xu Yi paused, and the ink ingot in his hand smiled mysteriously.

Then lay the paper into the case, and put the pen into the seat.

"Present...... A story made up?"

Yang Xian'an became more and more puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Xu Yi blankly like a second monk. Luo

"Take a seat first."

Xu Yi smiled and did not rush to answer.

After a few breaths, he tapped the ink.

On the yellowed rice paper, the freshly made story is written unhurriedly.

A moment later.

The pen stops the book.

"Let's see." Luo

Allow the ink to dry.

Xu Yi turned it around and made it face Yang Xian'an.

"Yes."

Yang Xian'an agreed, and then bowed his head to take a closer look.

Not much.

Yang Xian'an slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Yi's eyes full of admiration.

"Sixth Master." Luo

"High, that's too high!"

"With this story, one hundred and twenty taels, one hundred and fifty taels, and two hundred taels are not a problem."

Yang Xian'an looked at Xu Yi with admiration on his face and praised sincerely.

"Okay, okay, no more laughing

。」

"Five days before the caravan departs."

"Send this story to the caravan men day and night."

Xu Yi smiled, and then commanded. Luo

In fact, the story he made up is not too exaggerated.

It's just a precise grasp of the curiosity and comparison of some powerful people, as well as the urgency of longing for longevity.

"Yes."

Yang Xian'an calmed down for a while, then got up and saluted solemnly.

"Besides."

"The remaining hundred jars, order people to hurry up to the palace for eight hundred miles."

"Make another three hundred mahogany jars, one hundred each." Luo

Xu Yi sighed for a few breaths, and then commanded.

This move can be called "tribute sugar".

Second, filial piety can be fully demonstrated.

Third, it can disgust the prince Xu Yong.

It's a win-win-win-win

Why not.

As for the exchange of gifts in the swallow land, three hundred mahogany jars are sufficient. Luo

"Yes."

Yang Xian'an saluted again.

Then he retreated.

After Yang Xian'an's figure completely disappeared into the study on the second floor.

Xu Yi couldn't help but lean back, close his eyes and wait for the arrival of quartermaster Yu Chongwen.

As for the silver taels from the sale of stories and sugar.

Nine hundred jars of white sugar, a total of 108,000 taels of silver. Luo

This money must be used for iron ore reserves.

900 cans of white rock candy, a total of 135,000 taels of silver.

This money must be used for food reserves.

As for the nine hundred pours of amber rock candy, a total of 180,000 taels of silver were obtained.

Half of this money was used for military pay reserves.

The other half is used for the new gold-swallowing cave in Nuqi City.

As for the shortcomings...... Luo

I had to think of something else.......

It's not that Xu Yi is reluctant to sell more white sugar and other things.

It is used to make huge profits.

But it really can't.

First, the amount of yellow-peeled fruit cane obtained by Xu Yi from Lingnan and other places is really limited.

Second, items that are easy to carry such as white rock candy and amber rock candy are military supplies.

It belongs to the things that the soldiers of Wang Daying must carry when they go out to Mobei this time. Luo

......

......

Time flies by with your eyes closed.

Before you know it, dusk has fallen.

Just when Xu Yi was about to fall asleep.

Footsteps were heard outside the study on the second floor of the Military Aircraft Building.

"Master." Luo

"See you in the army."

A questioner dressed as a personal guard went to the outside of the study and whispered a report.

"Yes."

"Yes."

In the study room on the second floor of the military aircraft building.

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

Then he got up and stretched his muscles slightly. Luo

Not much.

Quartermaster Yu Chongwen walked to the study with several account books in his hand.

"No need to be polite."

Seeing that Yu Chongwen wanted to put down the account book in his hand and salute with his fists.

Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, and then sat on the Taishi chair again.

"Thank you, Lord Xie."

Yu Chongwen bent down to thank him, and then slowly stepped forward and presented several account books in his hand to Xu Yi's desk. Luo

"Sit."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, then picked up an account book and slowly unfolded it.

As the books slowly unfolded.

Lines of pleasing words instantly appeared in Xu Yi's eyes.

And the line of pleasing words described by Bai Qidong and Yan Xiaohu from the capital Chang'an to Yandi Fuyang.

The loss of grain and grass caused by this journey.

And this part of the grain

Since ancient times, grass loss has been borne by the recipients. Luo

"Bai Qidong does things, and he is still as detailed as ever."

After a while, Xu Yi slowly put down the account book in his hand and said with emotion.

"How about the rewards checked?"

Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, and then asked.

"Go back to the prince."

"Three thousand armors, five thousand crossbows, and one hundred thousand crossbows."

"And the ten thousand taels of bounty, and the thousand horses of silk and silk have been checked." Luo

"Fifty thousand stones of grain and grass, all the way along the way, in the end there are twenty-one thousand four hundred and fifty-six stones left."

"There were 10,000 war horses, and more than 700 died of illness along the way, and finally arrived alive in a total of 9,215 horses."

"One thousand two hundred and sixty-three of them are weak and weak, and I am afraid that they will be sick."

Yu Chongwen heard the words like a number of treasures.

"Leave a hundred horses of silk and silk for the top three rewards of this great competition of the whole army."

"All the grain and grass will be put into storage within three days."

"After the armor, crossbows, and crossbows are maintained, they are put into the arsenal." Luo

"Take the sick war horse to find another horse breeding place for medical treatment."

"The rest were all sent to the Lower Los Angeles Horse Farm."

"After a month, if there is no problem, I will be admitted to the Daying Sheep and Horse Farm for daily exercises."

Xu Yi sighed for a few breaths, and then opened his mouth to command.
