"Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement of [Solving Lingbei Bandits] and rewarding a security gift box! ”

Li Jing was overjoyed, he didn't want to exterminate the mountain bandits, but he could also get a big gift box!

Then what else is there to cause, open it immediately!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 kerosene lanterns. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten boxes of improvised flares. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten boxes of foam fire extinguishers. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 telescopes and 10 hot air balloons. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000 Sapper Shovels. ”

The rewards offered this time are all closely related to life, sapper shovels, binoculars and hot air balloons can be equipped for the army, and even kerosene horse lanterns, simple flares, and foam fire extinguishers can also be given priority to the army.

As for civilian use, due to the limited quantity, Li Jing does not plan to apply it to people's livelihood for the time being, and it is not too late to promote it to ordinary people's homes after Datang independently researches and imitates it and can equip the whole army.

However, after the horse lanterns, fire extinguishers, and hot air balloons were imitated, a small part could be circulated in the world first, and sold at a high price to high-ranking officials and nobles, so as to earn enough money from them to engage in scientific research and development.

Dignitaries and nobles, rich and wealthy businessmen don't make money in vain, who makes them the richest!

Then, the cheap ones were launched and sold to the general group cheaply, so that every household could have horse lanterns.

Li Jing gave priority to equipping the forbidden army with these things obtained by opening the big gift box.

As his own personal soldier, he must be the first to enjoy this kind of welfare treatment.

Wait until your own soldiers are equipped, and then consider other troops, there is always a priority.

The mountain bandits' cottage was broken by the official army, and most of the mountain bandits became prisoners and were sent to the Dabaoshan mining area to mine, and the labor reform was used to redeem the mistakes they had made.

As for the leader of the mountain bandits, this kind of guy who is full of evil is directly dragged out and beheaded.

After solving the matter of the mountain bandits, Li Jing returned to Shaozhou City and considered his next move.

Now that the country of Linyi has been destroyed and has become the governor of Zhennan of the Tang Dynasty, the mountain bandits in the north of Lingnan have been destroyed, and the hidden dangers in the north of Lingnan have been removed, should we consider returning to Beijing!

But since he came out, why should he take a good look at Lingnan, see the customs and customs of Lingnan, and learn more about the local people's livelihood, which is what the emperor should do.

In the first year of Yongchang, on the fifth day of the sixth month, Li Jing changed into civilian clothes and took Ximenyang, Chen Shaohui, Yue Yun, and more than a dozen guards dressed as domestic servants to go out for a private visit.

Since you want to pay a private visit, you naturally have to go to the people to see the real people's livelihood, and you can also scatter your heart by the way.

"There is a lot of sugar cane, and the sugar cane here is growing well, so there will be a good harvest!"

Li Jing and the others came to a sugarcane field and smiled at the sugarcane that was growing well in front of them.

Sugarcane is a temperate and tropical crop and is the main raw material for the manufacture of sucrose.

In addition to sugarcane, it can also make wine, paper, cold cakes, feed, fertilizer, medicinal value, etc., and its use is great!

The people here grow a large amount of sugarcane, which shows that Shaozhou's economy mainly depends on sugarcane.

"Childe is right, this year's sugarcane has increased by more than one generation compared to last year, and the harvest is good, but it's a pity that ......"

Chen Shaohui's words made Li Jing puzzled!

Shouldn't a good harvest of sugarcane be a worthwhile good thing? Isn't it good to raise the economic level of Lingnan by a bumper harvest represents a big sale? How did it get into your mouth and become a bad thing?

Li Jing felt that Chen Shaohui had some Versailles meaning, and people in other places still envy you that Lingnan is blessed with sugarcane, which can be made into wine, sugar and so on.

I don't know how much money I can make, even if I can't count the money until I have cramps, at least I can make you worry about food and clothing, and live a comfortable second half of the year.

Others can't envy it, you're good, but you have a sad face, who is crying poor to see, tsk......

Chen Shaohui didn't know what Li Jing was thinking, and he looked worried.

Sugarcane is a unique crop in the south, and there is no other place at all, so it can be said that it is blessed, but because the transportation in Lingnan is not convenient enough, this leads to sugarcane can only be produced and sold by itself.

Since most families in the Lingnan area grow sugarcane, especially in the Annam Prefecture, there are more sugarcane grows, which also leads to the low price of sugarcane.

You can buy five catties of sugarcane for a penny, and the current sugarcane is even better than last year's harvest, and the price is even lower.

"What a pity?"

Li Jing asked puzzled.

"Unfortunately, there is too much sugarcane, which will lead to instability in the sugarcane market, the price will be lower than before, and many may not even be sold."

Chen Shaohui shook his head and sighed.

Li Jing was dumbfounded!

What did he hear? If sugarcane can't be sold, will the price be lower?

How is this possible? It's absolutely impossible!

"Are you saying that sugarcane should be oversold because of its overproduction?"

Li Jing frowned and stared at Chen Shaohui.

"Yes!"

Chen Shaohui nodded, there is nothing to hide about this, this is an indisputable fact.

"Don't you know that sugar cane makes wine? Don't know that sugar cane can be used to make sugar? Can sugarcane make paper? ”

Li Jing asked three times in a row.

Chen Shaohui could only smile bitterly, he knew all this, but what was the use?

can't be sold, no matter how many tricks there are, it's for nothing, what kind of wine! Sugar making! Papermaking! It's all in vain.

"I know all this, but there are not many people in Lingnan who can go to school, and most of the families who can afford to go to school are not short of money to buy paper, and they have better paper, so how can they choose paper made from sugar cane."

"As for sugar making and brewing, most of them are used at home, and the price is relatively cheap."

Chen Shaohui said.

Li Jing then understood, why Chen Shaohui was sad, it turned out that the problem was this, it didn't matter, after the highway in Lingnan was opened, the products made of sugarcane could be sold everywhere.

When the time comes, it will become a fragrant dumpling that everyone is competing for, as long as the sales channel is opened, I am afraid that it will not be sold.

Sugarcane can be refined into white sugar, and white sugar can also be fried into rock sugar, which are the best condiments for daily life, and they are not afraid of no market.

As for papermaking, since rich people don't like to write it, they can make this paper into toilet paper, and they can sell it without worrying about sales.

Sugarcane liquor is also known as golden pulp, brewing liquid, once the traffic in Lingnan is smooth, sugarcane liquor is sold to various places, it will definitely be popular all over the country, and it will be a big sale.

"It's too hot, get something to eat!"

Li Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I'll order someone to prepare ice cubes......

"Don't bother, isn't there sugar cane here? Make some cold cakes out of sugar cane and eat them!"

Li Jing waved his hand and said with a smile.
