What Yang Chuan called 'one big deal' is actually two businesses.

Paper and sugar refining.

These two things, he has been preparing for a long time, and has been waiting for a great opportunity to come out; Now, Zhiniang was accepted as a righteous daughter by Liu Che and canonized her as a master.

Papermaking can be used to make money.

As for sugar refining, Dongfang Shuo's hardships this year were not in vain, he not only ran a large sugarcane plantation in Chudi, but also brought a full set of sugarcane planting techniques.

"Our biggest advantage is that there are many fields, the emperor said, we can find a way to reclaim all the wasteland in Shanglin Yuan, this opportunity is too rare."

Yang Chuan put on a roll of sheepskin, began to paint on it, and kept planning: "In addition, more than 300 acres of sugar beets were planted last year, and after repeated trials, that thing is a golden pimple." ”

As he spoke, he walked to a wooden shelf, fumbled in a jar and took out a small bottle, and said with a smile: "Cao Xiang, reach out." ”

Cao Xiang was a little dazed when he heard this, and stretched out his palm.

Yang Chuan poured a little white and crystal clear stuff in the palm of his hand: "Taste it." ”

"And the three of you, come and have a try."

He poured a little white sugar into the hands of Huo Quzhi, Zhang Tang, and Dongfang Shuo, and said with a smile: "Try it all, this is a little gadget that I poured out randomly, and it feels purer and tastes better than the taste of the basket." ”

Several people looked at each other tentatively and put some white sugar in their mouths.

"This is, no, this thing is sweet but not greasy, and there is no sour and astringent taste, it is really the best in the world!" Dongfang Shuo was the first to jump up, with a look of shock on his face.

Obviously, his breathing became rapid: "Young Master Yang Chuan, is this thing refined from sugar beet, or from sugar cane?" ”

Several other people were also shocked.

Only Huo Quai, threw half a handful of white sugar into his mouth, chewed it heavily, smacked his mouth and said, "The taste is okay, two or three catties more." ”

Yang Chuan scolded with a smile, and then he said: "This thing can be refined from sugar beet or sugar cane." The taste is all about the same.

However, you can't eat too much of this thing, just a small spoonful every day, or drink it in water, or make tea, and you can use it to cook a few great dishes......"

He didn't know how much sugar to eat to get diabetes, but he also understood a truth, that is, the fundamental reason why the people of the Han Empire ate so much food at the moment was nothing more than two or three, among them, the intake of meat, poultry, eggs and sugar was seriously insufficient, but it was certain.

"Yang Chuan, what is this thing called?" Cao Xiang reacted from the shock and asked urgently.

"I haven't thought of a name yet," Yang Chuan muttered a few times, "So, let's all think of one." ”

Before the others could speak, Dongfang Shuo hurriedly said: "Since this thing is in the same vein as the basket, it can be made from malt, millet, sugarcane, sugar beet and other things, then it should be related to grain, and you can take a rice word;

In addition, Dongfang Shuo tasted this thing for the first time, only felt refreshed, smooth tongue, and couldn't help but want to say a few words, you can take a few words from Zhuang Zhou's old man, Zhou heard the wind and was pleased, with fallacies, absurd words, gratuitous precipice words, indulgence but not shame, not to see it.

Therefore, how about naming a sugar word? ”

While the others were groaning and pondering, Yang Chuan had already secretly said in his heart: "Dongfang Shuo's mouth has really been opened, and after a few hundred years, this thing will really be called sugar ......"

Of course, there is also a name at the moment, and that is called: 饴.

Sweet, sweet.

Yang Chuan nodded directly and said: "Then let's call this thing sugar, in order to distinguish it from the current rice basket and starch, and improve its grade, Dongfang Shuo, how about giving you a task?" ”

Dongfang Shuo laughed: "As long as there is sugar to eat every day, Yang Chuan Gongzi will order." ”

Yang Chuan groaned a few times and said, "You just make an article about sugar, and when the opening ceremony of Tai Academy comes in three days, the emperor and queen will come over, and you will present our sugar and your article together as a congratulatory message, how about it?" ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a long time, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you Gongzi for your support." ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "You Dongfang Shuo is a great scholar, you should make a difference in the court, or, Tai Academy is also a good place, it is a place where you can do something."

However, your old boy's mouth is not covered, and it is most likely to attract envy, if you can't hug the emperor's thigh, you will sooner or later go to the dungeon of the Tingweifu again. ”

Dongfang Shuo laughed and turned his head to look at Zhang Tang: "Zhang Tang, look, you are also the son-in-law of the Han Goshawk Zhidu, you are not as generous as the son of Yang Chuan." ”

Zhang Tang said with a cold face: "As long as you commit a crime, a certain family will still beat your and pee." ”

Dongfang Shuo laughed, his mood was naturally comfortable, and his whole temperament became a little different.

Yang Chuan is also in a good mood.

Since Dongfang Shuo defected to himself, he has been figuring out how to recommend this 'big man comedy star' to Liu Che, don't let him be lonely and nameless for a lifetime, and he will be subjected to all kinds of bullying and inexplicable bird spirit, which is very boring to think about.

The Han chef must have the consciousness of a chef, and match the ingredients with various tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, so that they can become a useful supplement to the Han Empire, which is the big thing he should do.

This Dongfang Shuo, with a good heart and a happy nature, and sweet and delicious white sugar, is really a pair made in heaven......

……

In the days that followed, the tranquility of the past was restored.

Tai College, opposite Weishui, was lively for three days and three nights; After the opening ceremony of Tai Academy, Liu Che stayed in Yangchuan's Zhuangzi for two days and finally met Liu Man.

On that day, the sun was shining and the wind was gentle.

In the Yang fiefdom, the servants were busy with their own care, and they did not change because of the emperor's station, which made Liu Che very satisfied.

Accompanied by Yang Chuan, Liu Man, Zhiniang, Zhang Anshi, Naren Tuoya, Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Tang and others, Liu Che almost traveled all over the Yang fiefdom, carefully checked and asked a lot of things about farming and mulberry crops, and felt a lot of emotion.

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false, Weaver Niang, Full Moon, by the way, and this little ghost Zhang Anshi, you have done a good job."

In the evening of this day, in the attic where Princess Nangong lived, Liu Che was in a good mood, full of praise for the few little guys around him, and rewarded a lot of things casually, but he didn't mention Yang Chuan.

This made everyone a little embarrassed.

Only Princess Nangong was happy, took Yang Chuan's hand, and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Yang Chuan had just stepped forward before he planned to kneel down.

Liu Che scolded with a dark face: "Look at you, you are idle all day long, you don't learn anything, you have nothing to do, you are simply a dog in Chang'an City!" ”

Yang Chuan laughed dryly twice, but didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, Liu Che's practice of favoritism over the other is tantamount to telling Yang Chuan that I don't treat you as an outsider, but as a junior like a nephew, just like Cao Xiang, Huo Quzhi and others......

"I heard you're making paper?"

After scolding, Liu Che's face finally eased up, and said leisurely: "This Han paper-making technique, but my daughter weaves the secret method, you Yang Chuan used it for nothing to make money?" ”

Yang Chuan complained for a while: "Okay, let's start talking about business." ’

However, this is also the result he wants most.

In the Han Empire, no matter what kind of business, as long as the emperor 'invested', there was no money that could not be earned...... Of course, there are exceptions, for example, in some dynasties, the most serious losses are all imperial merchants......

You can't say it, you can't say it.

Yang Chuan said with a bitter face: "Isn't this just to discuss with Your Majesty, papermaking is the secret method of Weaver Niang, and Weaver Niang is Your Majesty's righteous daughter, therefore, I have been thinking about it for the past two days, and half of the profits from the rice paper made should go to the inner government......

Liu Che said bluntly: "No. ”

Yang Chuan asked tentatively, "Sixty percent?" ”

Liu Che sighed and said: "Yang Chuan, you also went to Mobei to fight, as the military Sima of the Yulin Army, you naturally know that when this soldier and horse move, just the four words of grain and grass first, how many heroes and heroes have been stumped?" ”

Yang Chuan also sighed and said: "Yes, the Huns must be destroyed, and the people of our Han Dynasty still have to eat their stomachs...... Or, seventy percent? ”

Liu Chemeng slapped the case and scolded: "Yang Chuan, you are so bold, you actually talked and bargained in front of me for a little profit, it was just ...... Well, it's just time to fight!

That who, Cui Jiu, brought Yang Chuan out to break his legs! ”

Cui Jiu walked over expressionlessly, grabbed Yang Chuan's collar with his hand, and was about to bring it up.

Yang Chuan shouted loudly: "Eighty, half!" ”

Liu Che snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Yang Chuan hurriedly changed his words: "Ninety, nine, ninety, ninety, right?" Your Majesty, even if you want to do business, you should be reasonable, the cost of materials, labor, sales and other costs, after three calculations, you can't let Weichen do a loss-making business, Your Majesty......"

Liu Che's face gradually softened, and he squinted at Yang Chuan: "Ninety and a half? ”

Yang Chuan broke free of Cui Jiu's claws, took two steps forward, instantly turned on the 'miserable mode', and said dejectedly: "Your Majesty, you are really ...... Well, you are so ruthless, if I only take half of the profits, don't say that I can't make rice paper, even ordinary raw edge paper can't guarantee it, Your Majesty;

Also, the reason why Weichen is in a hurry to get money is not for His Majesty's Yulin Army;

Just look at it, what kind of hard life our sons and daughters of the Yulin Army are living now, they have to work tirelessly in the fields every day, just so that they can have a bite to eat;

Moreover, armor, weapons, horses, bows, chariots, shields, boxwood, hard bows, ......"

Liu Che was laughed angrily by Yang Chuan's success, waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, isn't it ninety percent of the profits, if I am not in a hurry to start a war with the Huns, as for grabbing business with my son-in-law?" ”

Well, it's nine out of nine......

I have to say that Liu Che, an old boy, is really a good businessman, what are the profits and prospects of papermaking, he is too clear as an emperor.

If ordinary people want to do this business, even if it is half of the profit, within three or five years, they can be called one of the top richest people in the Han Empire......

"Your Majesty, you can take pity on Weichen," Yang Chuan continued to sell miserably, "Your Majesty, look, in two or three years, Weichen will marry his own baby, and if he doesn't save some family wealth, how can my wife and children live." ”

Liu Che was expressionless, and he refused to give in at all.

Yang Chuan sighed secretly and said in his heart: "Okay, ninety-two, ninety-two, anyway, the remaining part of the profit is a lot of money every year......

Just as he was about to nod his head in agreement.

Suddenly, Liu Man, who doesn't like to talk much lately, finally spoke: "Liu Che, you are enough!" ”

"Bullying others, I Liu Man doesn't care, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who can control your old man? However, if you want to bully my little Langjun, believe it or not, uh, do you believe that this daughter turned against you? ”

"Isn't it just half a profit? Even if they are all given to you, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, what can I do? Can you set foot on the Huns in one fell swoop and dominate the world? ”

"My little Langjun said, the things in this world, you have to do them one by one, you have to eat this meal one bite at a time, how can there be a lot of money in the world who kills chickens and takes eggs, exhausts his water and fishes, but can make a fortune?"

"Liu Che, no, father, your full moon begged you for the first time, not for myself, nor for my little Langjun, but for the sake of the people of the world, you will take a little less profit, and my little Langjun will also earn a little less profit."

"In this way, the price of rice paper will be reduced a lot, and we can have a few more books in the world, but don't we just wait for a few more readers? Your Majesty will have a few more capable ministers. ”

"Father, you are scheming about a small business, and you missed a big deal, father, you think you are very smart and wise, don't you? Hey, let Full Moon say, you're a little old and confused......"

Liu Che: "......"

Yang Chuan: "......"

Everyone was stunned for a while, no one had anything to say, and at the same time, naturally they didn't dare to say more.

Liu Man is Liu Che's biological daughter, even if he scratches his face, he will just sulk afterwards.

In addition, this remark suddenly sounded quite rough, but after thinking about it carefully and tasting it, it seems to make some sense!

The expression on Liu Che's face became very exciting, first a burst of red, a burst of white, and then a burst of green, a burst of black.

In the end, it finally became soothing and soft, and the smile contained in the corners of the two eyes was very obvious: "Full moon, look at you kid, before I finished speaking, you began to jump and scold?"

Sure enough, it's still a woman's heart outward, look at your current appearance, it's exactly the same as your Aunt Pingyang, so spicy, be careful that you can't marry in the future! ”

Liu Man had a cold face: "If you can't get married, it's all your fault!" ”

Liu Che laughed and said, "Okay, well, it's all to blame." ”

After he laughed a few times, he turned his head to look at Yang Chuan, and said with a straight face: "Yang Chuan, what do you think I want so much profit for?" It's just going to be used in your Tai Academy, and spent on those scholars?

Spread my will, all the teachers and students of the Tai Academy will be allocated from the account of the inner government, and it will be free of charge! ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and stepped forward to congratulate them.

Yang Chuan also hurriedly stepped forward, saying 'Thank you to Emperor Longen for the students of the world', but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhang Anshi, who was harmless to humans and animals.

Why did he think that Liu Man's words seemed to be taught to her in advance......
