The early ripening of the beets was also expected by Goodern.

The effect of the word on the anointed land is to speed up the ripening time of the crop, and the beet, which used to ripen at the end of August, grows like a hormone on these days.

"Well, I know, the sugar factory will be completed in two days, and the equipment has been prepared, and some people will be sent to collect and store the beets tomorrow."

"Okay young master." Old Joseph nodded and took note of the young master's words.

"By the way, hasn't Kroger revealed anything from his side?"

At the mention of Kroger, a hint of helplessness appeared on Joseph Sr.'s face.

"No, his tone is so tight, he won't mention it at all, and I've hinted at it several times, but he acted as if he hadn't heard it."

Goodern was not surprised by this result.

After all, Kroger's entry panel has a special entry in it.

[Justice: Righteous people, righteous souls, fair and upright without bending to cater]

It was this entry that made Goodern dispel his suspicions about him, and if he could be introduced by the entry with this kind of righteousness, his personality qualities would certainly not be bought by the Charleson family.

However, it is not clear whether he has been deceived or not.

"Let's try again."

Goodern did not force Joseph Sr. to complete this task, this kind of thing depends entirely on the attitude of the other party.

"In addition, don't forget the bounty order to track down Matthews, send me double it again, I won't believe it, no one will be tempted?"

The deeper the other party hid, the more it showed the importance of the intelligence on his body, and Gooden was not stingy with these small money.

The bounty, which had already risen to ten gold coins, was doubled again, and it was twenty.

Such a large sum of money, for an ordinary family, can live comfortably for a few years.

Joseph Sr. also understood the importance of Matthews and immediately arranged.

"Well, I'll arrange it now."

With that, Joseph Sr. went to work on the task, while Gooden returned his attention to the sketch diagram on the table.

As for Matthews' trackdown, he is not so anxious.

After all, there are many ways to solve taxes, and it will be much easier and more convenient to have him, and it is not impossible to solve the problem without him.

……

July 25, three days later.

With the completion of the construction of the sugar mill and the completion of the relocation of equipment, Gooden was personally involved in the first batch of sugar production processes.

Due to the supply of sugar beets, the sugar refinery may have to be opened every two months for the next period of time.

And each time he starts working, Gooden estimates that it will not take more than a week.

So when it comes to worker selection, Gooden puts young women in the job base, and there is also a requirement for young women who are participating in school literacy.

At the same time, in order to ensure the hygiene of the sugar factory, the women workers are required to receive a hygiene and safety training before taking up their posts.

Only those who have passed the examination can join the sugar factory and enjoy two months and only need to work seven days.

Of course, this working hour is only temporary, and when the number of factories in the town increases in the future, they will also be transferred to other positions.

In the sugar factory, as Goodern himself ignited the steam engine, the sugar machine began to start slowly under the mechanical drive.

Cleaning→ shredding→ soaking→ evaporation→ crystallization, centrifugation, honey → drying and baking, a complete set of processes will pass in the morning.

As the last drying and roasting course is over, the refined white sugar is lying quietly in the container.

Crystal clear white particles, this is white sugar.

Looking at the white sugar in the iron container, which was more than a hundred kilograms, he took the bowl and spoon on the side.

Goodern personally asked for a bowl of white sugar, and then put a spoon in his hand and tasted it.

The sweet graininess that comes in the mouth proves the reliability of this device.

"Here, let's taste it and see how it tastes."

Goodern's bowl of sugar was handed to Kroger beside him.

As the 'guest' who was invited, Kroger still did not recover from the shock of the mechanical operation.

stopped Goodern from shouting again, and then he reacted.

"Your Excellency, this is ...... Crystal sugar? ”

"Yes, this factory is used to produce crystal sugar, how about it taste."

With a smile on his face, Gooden will raise the spoon in his hand again.

Kroger took it cautiously, then got a little out.

The delicious and sweet graininess made Kroger have an endless aftertaste, and it took a while to give an evaluation.

"I don't know how you did it, Your Excellency, but in terms of quality, it is much better than the goods sold by the sugar merchants from the south who came to the Ruidro Empire."

As he spoke, Kroger looked at the crystal sugar in the bowl, a little reluctant in his heart, but handed it back to Goodern.

So a small bowl of high-purity crystal candy will be scrambled by people there, and it is lucky that you can taste it.

"Save it for yourself, there's more to it."

Gooden saw the other party's reluctance, and directly waved his hand and said casually, while signaling the white sugar in the container.

As he looked at it, the expression on Kroger's face gradually froze.

He had just patronized and looked at various machines, and he didn't notice this large pile of crystal sugar.

With so much crystalline sugar, how much does it cost?

As an official of the empire, Kroger's annual income is probably only about fifteen gold coins.

This small bowl in his hand alone may cost one-third, and now the lord of Goodern, who is in arrears for three years, wants to give it to himself?

Do you want to buy yourself with crystal sugar?

And just as Kroger wanted to open his mouth to question, Gooden took the first step to speak to himself.

"Crystal sugar, in the future, it will not be a valuable item in Qingyuan Town, one pound of hardware coins outside, and I will be ten silver coins a pound......"

Hearing this, Kroger was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Excellency, are you serious?"

"Huh? You said crystal sugar, yes, this thing was originally a price fried by the profiteers of the Ruidro Empire, and I sold it at a low price for the sake of the people, right? ”

"Uh......" When asked like this, Kroger didn't know what to say for a moment.

And at the same time, a big doubt arose in my heart, why did Gooden owe his taxes?

He has been living in Qingyuan Town these days, and the atmosphere in the town is something he has never seen before.

Every day, a large number of people come to a place next to the town square to learn to read and write, and a strange building not far outside the town is calcining this thing every day.

And the most puzzling thing is that these 'machines' are all from the hands of blacksmiths in Qingyuan Town.

Could it be that there are dwarves from the kingdom of Tosa?

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out where to get such a magical and sophisticated device.
