Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to keep talking about this topic, so he casually changed the topic.

The two came to Lu Ning's experimental field, which is already very prosperous, and there are all kinds of things, and there is an endless stream of customers.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, if this thing can be successful, it will naturally be the most profitable thing in the world.

One pound can earn twenty taels, which is more than double the income of the current treasury every year, and it can make the founding emperor's snot bubble out.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these beets, and then said to Lu Ning.

"There's a problem here, in fact, there isn't much land on the side of the National Products Division, and let them go to farming, which is also embarrassing for these imperial merchants and officials, how should this be good?"

Lu Ning glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then gave him an idea with a smile.

"Uncle, in fact, this matter is very easy to handle, I have a way, you can consider whether it can be done, if you can, we will sign the contract now."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded and asked Lu Ning.

"Okay, you kid just say it directly, as long as you say anything, I can agree, and besides, I'm your uncle, can you still trick me?"

Lu Ning said with a smile.

"It seems that my uncle is really a very cheerful person, so let's do it, since there is no one on your side who can farm, then I will produce it here, and then my frosting will be given to you at five taels of silver a catty, as for how much money you sell outside, then I will not interfere."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and he immediately understood what was going on, Lu Ning himself made sugar here, and he also planted sugar beets here at the same time.

There is no need for people from the National Products Division to intervene in this, and you only need to come here to buy goods to do anything.

Buy the icing here at a price of five taels of silver a catty, and then sell it at a price of twenty taels per catty, so that the domestic goods department can earn fifteen silver per catty.

Such a good thing is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone, Lu Ning can earn a processing fee, and the price difference of the domestic product division is several times the cost.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally thought it was a good thing, and he immediately promised.

"This method is really good, the domestic goods department can save production and purchase directly, and can earn a lot of price difference, this contract will be signed immediately."

Lu Ning smiled indifferently, and he said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle, your temper is really too anxious, although we are uncles and nephews, but after verifying that the quality of my icing is okay, wouldn't it be safer for you to sign the contract again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand, and he said to Lu Ning very seriously.

"Then what's the need, if we can't even trust our eldest nephew, who else can we trust? But we're going to sign the contract now, and I'd love to see what the sugar you make from beets looks like. ”

Lu Ning nodded, and then he asked Fu Bo to get some beets to squeeze into juice, and then boiled and filtered to remove impurities.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled, he scratched his head and asked Lu Ning.

"Zi'an, your way of making sugar is no different from others, it's just that sugarcane is replaced by sugar beet, is it different that it is boiled first and then filtered?"

Lu Ning shook his head, and he told Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

"In fact, there is really no difference in the front, but there is something to be put in the back, which can completely filter the impurities and become fine white sugar."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled, and he immediately asked.

"So what do you say you need to put in to achieve this effect? It's a very valuable thing, but if you can achieve that desired effect, even if it's valuable. ”

Lu Ning did smile, he told Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

"There's nothing precious, it's just a little lime, it's just a chemical reaction, it's not worth anything at all."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was simply stunned, the lime was put in sugar water, what kind of devilish operation is this?

But what Lu Ning said was not a joke, so he had to try.

After putting the lime in, Lu Ning told Zhu Yuanzhang that it would be okay to wait for a while.

Sure enough, after the two of them had been drinking tea in the house for a while, Fauber put away the frosting, made a plate, and put one on the table.

Lu Ning said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

"Uncle, why don't you come and taste it for yourself, try the difference between this frosting and what you've eaten before, I think it will be an eye-opener for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a little bit and put it in his mouth, but he didn't expect it to really surprise him.

As an emperor, he has never eaten any kind of sugar, but this sugar is soft and fine in the mouth, which is completely different from the frosting he has eaten before, and it is really better.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Lu Ning with a smile.

"Don't say that this quality sugar sells for twenty taels of silver, even if it sells for thirty taels, I'm afraid that some people will rob it."

Lu Ning smiled indifferently again, and he told Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Don't think about it so much, after all, what we want is a long-term market share, not a fish for all the water, and eat people all at once."
