The Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion also received news from the Bai family.

"Liang Xiao, this kid, actually dares to sign this kind of contract with Baihe?"

Zhenyuan Marquis Nangong Lei stopped his pen and sneered.

Nangong Ning on the side smiled and said: "There are no business or treachery in the world, how can the Dingguo Marquis Mansion let go of the opportunity to raise prices and make money!" You must know that the Dingguo Marquis Mansion did not make much money from Liang Xiao before, the Bai family accounted for eighty percent, and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion accounted for at least two percent! ”

"Isn't that all Liang Xiao losing money himself? The Dingguo Marquis Mansion and the Bai family are doing business normally, and they are willing to fight. Nangong Lei smiled and returned to seriousness, "However, that kid Mu Lingxiao also seems to appreciate Liang Xiao, which is a little difficult to do." ”

"Daddy doesn't have to worry, he just used Liang Xiao as a gunman because he hated the Duanmu family!" Nangong Ning said resentfully.

Nangong Lei's eyes were cold, he looked at the portrait of Liang Xiao on the table, and said: "I have already entrusted those people to do it, as long as Liang Xiao leaves the capital, he will definitely die." What we need to do now is to find a way to get him out so that he doesn't have too many dreams at night. ”

While the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion calculated Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao also arranged the residence of a total of 260 people in fifty households.

These people are all dragged by their families, but they all signed confidentiality agreements with him, and the guards are responsible for supervising them.

This land has a large population since ancient times, and the manpower is so low......

In this world, ordinary people have to worry about the next meal, let alone the homeless.

In contrast, a little personal freedom is insignificant in their eyes, Liang Xiao gave them a bite to eat, and paid them wages in the case of food and accommodation, which is already comparable to the existence of a savior.

According to the salary of ordinary workers in the capital from 100 to 300 wen a day, one tael per month is not much, but Liang Xiao considers that other workshops do not pay for recruiting displaced people, and he needs to avoid unnecessary troubles because of his "involution".

The retired guards of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion used to be well-trained elites, and under the arrangement of the old Dingguo Hou, after retiring, they had such a job as a guard, and it was not difficult to manage these workers' families.

These families even took the initiative to cooperate, for fear that Liang Xiao would dismiss them because they were not satisfied, so they could only continue to sleep on the streets, and finally be sent back to the refugee camp, where they ate unpalatable food every day.

After Liang Xiao calmed the workers, he looked at the account books he bought and frowned.

Grandma is old, and Jiang Fuxue is too young, so the people recruited outside can't trust it for the time being, so they can only keep the accounts themselves.

But in this way, it will compress the time for yourself to make money.

"Who should I turn to?" Liang Xiao muttered to himself.

Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

The empress listened to Duan Yunsleeve's narration and thought thoughtfully: "Although he is a loser, he can at least spend the money on the homeless people and settle down for the workers." ”

As she spoke, the empress looked ashamed again: "The treasury is rich, but a few thousand taels can't take care of so many displaced people." ”

Duan Yunsleeve said hesitantly: "I will pay attention to my money in the future, but I ...... on Liang Xiao."

"You don't have to pay attention, my sister just wants you to be happy, just to be safe. When it comes to money, my sister will figure it out. Duan Yunyi comforted.

Duan Yunsleeve agreed, his face worried.

She also knew that Liang Xiao was a loser by doing this, but now in order to cultivate Liang Xiao, she couldn't care about the money.

In fact, all this money was taken out of the sisters' small coffers.

Thinking of this, Duan Yunsleeve plucked up his courage and said, "I believe that he will be able to feed his sister's ...... in the future."

Duan Yunyi just nodded slightly, without refutation, but he didn't think so.

In this world, is it so easy to make money?

No one knows better than her how much business the major families in China control.

Another batch of sugarcane was delivered to the capital, with hundreds of truckloads.

The best condition was first acquired by the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce, followed by the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and then the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Liang Xiao, you should also know that every thousand catties of sugarcane in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion sells for eleven taels, and our side is thirteen taels and two dollars! They raised the price by 10%, and they couldn't complain about me! ”

In the lobby of the Bai family, Bai He showed Liang Xiao the public price of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

Liang Xiao said: "Then give me 50,000 catties first, 660 taels, and your people will be responsible for sending it to my workshop, no problem, right?" ”

Bai He's eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course it's no problem!" However, these 50,000 catties of sugarcane have just been harvested and transported from outside the city, and they can be stored for six or seven days at most. Got it? ”

Liang Xiao did not hesitate to buy 50,000 catties of sugarcane.

After the news spread, the streets and alleys were full of discussions about Liang Xiao.

"He's lost at least tens of millions of taels in the past two years, right? How did you start a sugarcane business again? This shows that the sugarcane business is about to collapse again! ”

"Hell, I know what he thinks, he's been in business for two years and he's never made a penny!"

……

Empress Duan Yunyi took two entourages to pay a private visit, listening to the discussions of the people around her, and shook her head helplessly.

"Yun Sleeve has unconsciously developed a good impression of him, but this Liang Xiao can obviously specialize in poetry, but he must be in business, and he still can't get rid of the pedantic ...... of a scholar."

"Your Majesty, according to Her Royal Highness the Princess, he is also doing business for Your Majesty!" One of the attendants sighed.

"For me?" Duan Yunyi was stunned for a moment, but her face was bitter, and no one knew what she was thinking at this time.

50,000 catties of sugarcane were transported to the workshop one after another, piled up like a mountain.

Liang Xiao was not stingy, and each family sent ten catties, taking the lead in consuming five hundred catties.

"No, no, no! The benefactor doesn't have to give us sugar cane, this thing is very expensive, and it costs ten cents a catty! ”

These fifty workers didn't dare to accept it, and it wasn't until Liang Xiao urged them to pick it up and taste it, and they were so moved that they couldn't be more moved.

"Sugar production is just one of the jobs, and there may be other important tasks for you in the future." Liang Xiao reminded.

Everyone promised: "Swear allegiance to the boss!" ”

Liang Xiao just nodded with a smile and went to the workshop of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion again.

"Liang Gongzi came just in time, these tools are all ready, including the sugar car!"

Liang Xiao followed the shopkeeper to the workshop for internal inspection.

The sugar truck used to make sugar is actually a pulp rolling truck.

Its shape and specification are to use two upper and lower transverse plates about five feet long, five inches thick, and two feet wide each, and drill holes at both ends of the transverse plates to install columns. The tenon at the upper end of the pillar is exposed a little from the upper transverse plate, and the tenon at the lower end should pass through the lower transverse plate two to three feet, so that it can be buried in the ground, so that the whole body is stable and not shaking.

Two holes were drilled in the middle of the upper transverse plank, and two large wooden shafts (made of very solid wood) were placed side by side, one of which was about three feet long and the other was about four feet five inches long, and the tenon of the long shaft exposed the upper transverse plate for mounting the plough burden. There are also ploughs and axle end chisels, as long as the sugarcane is sandwiched between the two axles and rolled through, similar to the principle of cotton ginning.

As for other crockpots, yellow mud and water, etc., they were also piled up at the scene.
