The eldest princess's mansion, Liu Qing, who has been in Taizhou for more than half a year, has come back, her complexion is much darker, and she has lost a lot of weight, but her complexion is not bad, her spirit is introverted and shrewd, as if the whole person has been transformed.

In front of Liu Qing and Li Hongsleeve, there was a jar of white sugar, Li Hongsleeve grabbed a handful, slowly sprinkled it, grabbed some more, and put it in his mouth, it was very sweet.

Liu Qing is telling what he did in Taizhou, after he went to Taizhou, he bought a hundred acres of land, planted all sugarcane, and bought Tangliao, that is, a sugar squeezing workshop, and when the craftsmen from Yongdu City arrived, they developed the technology of making white sugar in accordance with the direction mentioned by Li Hongsleeve.

Li Hongsleeve actually forwarded the original words from Jiang Cheng's suggestion, Jiang Cheng didn't remember the complete technique, he only remembered that it was called the yellow mud color method, which is to use mud to decolorize, which can turn brown sugar and brown sugar into white sugar.

This method of sugar production was the best method before industrial progress, and Jiang Cheng remembered that it had been used for hundreds of years, and it was still used in the early twentieth century.

However, Liu Qing still spent thousands of taels of silver, and it took a few months to gradually master this technology, and then they began to make a small amount of white sugar to sell in the three states of Jiangnan, which was almost an instant hit.

Compared with brown sugar, white sugar has very few impurities, a better color, and a higher sweetness, which goes without saying many advantages.

After determining the value of white sugar, Liu Qing understood what to do, when the sugarcane was ripe, he bought sugarcane on a large scale, and even started a price war with other sugar merchants, and the purchase price of sugarcane changed three times a day.

Other sugar merchants knew that Liu Qing had the method of making white sugar, and at first it was to win over, but Liu Qing naturally did not comply, and then it was suppressed, starting with the government, and then if it didn't work, it was to splash dirty water, and even assassinate and threaten those farmers, beat their workers, etc., there are dozens of methods.

Liu Qing also lived up to expectations, all kinds of difficulties were eliminated one by one, in just two months, he made hundreds of thousands of catties of white sugar, seventy percent of which was sold out in the three states of Jiangnan, making a profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"I didn't expect a sugar to be so profitable, and those local clans were so frustrated"

After listening to Liu Qing's answer, Li Hongsleeve sighed, Jiang Cheng's theory is theory, but when the theory is practiced, she still feels shocked, the court only knows that salt and iron are huge profits, but I didn't expect that this sugar industry is not inferior to salt and iron.

"It's very dangerous, behind those people and sugar merchants are Jiangnan clans, in order to make money, they dare to do anything"

Liu Qing replied, thinking of what happened to him in the past few months, he also had palpitations, and there were seven assassinations alone, not to mention other open guns and hidden arrows.

"It's okay, I will avenge Mr. Liu in the future, and I have to bother Mr. Liu to continue to sit in Taizhou next year"

"Yes, eldest princess, this year is the first time to do it, and after the situation is familiar next year, those sugar merchants will definitely not be my opponents, I will crush them, and clean them up together with the family behind them."

"Don't be aggressive, be steady"

"Yes, eldest princess"

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

"Eldest princess, Liu Qing wants to ask if this method is taught by Mr. Jiang."

"Yes"

"Mr. Jiang is really a pedantic and a great talent in the world"

Liu Qing exclaimed, he felt more and more that Jiang Cheng was powerful, as if this person could do anything, and he was definitely a great talent in the world.

·······

Following Liu Qing back to Yongdu City, there were also hundreds of letters of impeachment against Li Hongsleeve, which were all launched by the big clans behind the sugar merchants in Taizhou.

Their eyes are red, brown sugar is made of white sugar, the price can be increased several times, just a few months, Liu Qing earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Taizhou, you must know that this is still the first year, if with his background, next year all over the southern state capitals, not to mention the income of millions of taels of silver, and this is still every year.

For the sake of this huge benefit, they don't care about Li Hongsleeve's identity, after all, if they want to be afraid, they won't send someone to assassinate Liu Qing, which is equivalent to tearing their faces.

These twists and turns are all impeachment of Li Hongsleeve for bullying the gentry, competing with the people for profit, encroaching on fertile land, and even tax evasion, etc., in short, all of them are along the sugar industry, portraying Li Hongsleeve as a big corrupt official, and his means of deducting his hat are even more powerful than Jiang Cheng's before.

However, these twists and turns did not tell the real situation, that is, I don't know how much money Li Hongsleeve got in Taizhou, and it is impossible for officials who know the situation to say it clearly, so the emperor is also confused and doesn't know what is going on with Li Hongsleeve.

In the backyard of the palace, Li Changqing and Li Hongsleeve sat opposite each other, in the middle was a hot pot, the two were scalding some dishes, Li Hongsleeve didn't speak, and Li Changqing didn't speak.

"Hey, Redsleeves, tell me what the hell you want to do"

In the end, Li Changqing couldn't hold back, because he was entrusted by the emperor to talk to Li Hongsleeve.

"I'm all for the Li family, do you believe it?"

"I believe it, but don't forget, there is still an emperor in Great Wei, you can't always act as a substitute."

"Grandpa Huang, how long has it been since you went to the people?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I say that the people of Dawei are in dire straits, and hundreds of people are about to be unable to live, do you believe it or not?"

"Those people can't destroy Great Wei"

"I know, but our great enemy has always been Xianmen, if all parts of the country rise up, we can't pay tribute to Xianmen, Xianmen can replace the Li family at any time, just like the previous dynasty Daxuan, it's really not good, what about another sword"

"Red sleeves, it's not Da Xuan now, it's Da Wei now, and we have someone in the Li family in Xianmen"

"Grandpa Huang, are you still deceiving yourself, so many of our Li family went to Xianmen, only one person entered the inner gate, and after entering the inner gate, he was a person from Xianmen, not a person from the Li family, it is impossible for Xianmen to let any force control him, we can only rely on self-improvement"

Li Hongsleeve replied, she has been to Xianmen, how can she not know the inside story, among the dozens of immortals who went to Dawei, only one person from the Li family entered the Xianmen, and there were also people from other forces, but what does it have to do with the Li family?

"Self-deception, Red Sleeves, do you think I don't want the Li clan to get rid of the Xianmen, but can we, with your and my strength, who can we beat?"

Li Changqing's mood changed drastically, the Li family of the royal family, what a noble nobleman in front of outsiders, but they knew in their hearts that the Li family was just a dog of Xianmen, so for the sake of this self-esteem in their hearts, they also wanted to get rid of the control of Xianmen.

But Li Changqing and these people are also extremely sober and calm, the Li family is crushing the noble ministers of the imperial court and the king with different surnames, but they can't do anything about Xianmen, and they can't even ask Xiange, what do they use to face Xianmen.

"Grandpa Huang, if you don't resist, you can never win, and if you resist, even if you lose, you may not have no chance"

"Red Sleeves, you, you're going to kill the entire Li clan like this"

"Grandpa Huang, it's not enough to kill the entire Li family, don't worry, I won't drag the Li family to death, I will only make the Li family stronger"

Li Hongsleeve was domineering at this moment, and he directly showed his heart to Li Changqing.

"Red sleeves, who gave you the confidence"

"Confidence comes from strength, so let's do it, Grandpa Huang, let's make a bet, the royal family remains neutral, does not interfere in my affairs, see if I can do things, if not, Red Sleeves is willing to gamble and lose, and obey all the orders of the family in the future, if it happens, please support Red Sleeves on behalf of the Li family"

"What if I don't?"

"Then the fish will die, as long as I tell what happened to the Li family in Xianmen, the Li family will collapse"

Li Hongsleeve said coldly, most of the Li clan people are still dreaming, dreaming of being able to enter the Immortal Gate and gain immortality, dreaming that the Immortal Sect will always support the Li Clan.

But Li Hongsleeve and the other high-level people knew that this was all delusion, and the Xianmen had made up a huge lie to deceive them, and once this lie was exposed, the blow to the Li family would be extremely huge.

The children of the Li family must be cultivated from an early age and loyal to the family, if they know that if they want to enter the inner gate of the Xianmen, they must betray the family and put the Xianmen as the priority, which will be a destruction for their three views.

"Red Sleeves, you're crazy, do you know that this will kill the entire Li family?"

"After I die, no matter how big it is, Grandpa Huang, I don't want the descendants of the Li family, like our generation, the future and fate are in the hands of others, the Li family is the royal family, it should be supreme, not cattle and sheep to be slaughtered"

"Li Hongsleeve..."

Li Changqing was completely stunned now, he didn't expect Li Hongsleeve to be so strong in his heart, after I died, it didn't matter if it was a flood, such words were actually said in her mouth.

"Second brother, what's the matter, you even want to kill Red Sleeves?"

Li Changqing was frightened, for fear that Li Hongsleeve would drag down the Li family, and his heart was filled with Jiang You's killing intent, and at this time, another elder of the royal family appeared.

"Sixth, what do you want to do?"

"What you said, we all heard it, we also have a scale in our hearts, we Li outsiders have looked at the scenery over the years, but you also know what kind of life we lived, in the early years, when there were still many disciples of Xianmen stationed in Dawei, how many treasures and beauties we sent to them, and even the women in the clan were not less persecuted, do you still want to live that kind of humiliating life?"

Another old man opened his mouth and said, Li Hongsleeve was shocked, she was young, she didn't know about this, and even the Li clansmen were persecuted?

"Red sleeves shouldn't know about this, the Great Wei was established for sixty-one years, and in the first twenty years, there were many immortals stationed in the Great Wei to clear the rebellion for us, but these people are also corrupt in military discipline, even if it is my Li family, there are many women who have been defiled by them, and Taizu endured it for the sake of the country."

Seeing that Li Hongsleeve was puzzled, the clan elder opened his mouth to explain again, Li Hongsleeve's chest kept bulging, obviously being blown up, and Li Changqing was pale.

"Second brother, you are a first-hand witness to what happened back then, you know better than anyone else about the humiliation of our Li family, the current emperor is obviously not as talented as King Xin, but he still let him take the throne, isn't he afraid that the Li family is strong, what they want is a stupid Li family that can be easily controlled, do we really want to continue?"

The patriarch continued to say heart-piercing words, and Li Changqing's face was already pale and he couldn't say anything.
