This year's bumper harvest of sugarcane from suppliers would have been a good thing for Baihe.

Two pennies for a catty, two or two thousand catties, and five thousand taels is two and a half million catties of sugarcane.

And the sugarcane in his hand is only 1.1 million catties, where is the extra 1.5 million catties?

Originally, he only needed to sell three or four hundred thousand catties to Liang Xiao, and the excess could be dumped to crush the sugarcane business of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion!

And now, he has to pay Liang Xiao all these sugarcanes for free, and he can't get a penny, and he must cooperate to hand over his own purchase channels!

The point is that he must also pay for the workers and vehicles that transport the sugar cane!

In this way, he lost nearly 4,000 taels on the surface, but he actually lost a cash cow!

Of course, Liang Xiao is not kind, according to the requirements of the contract, if Baihe is less than about 1,000 taels, Liang Xiao must understand.

If Liang Xiao can only take out a maximum of four thousand taels and a thousand taels less, Bai He can also only sell him four thousand taels and forgive him the same.

But now Baihe is less than half, close to three thousand taels, so it can only be delivered without capital.

This is a big gamble between the two sides, and the bet is on who the Dingguo Marquis Mansion can support.

If the Dingguo Marquis Mansion really supported Baihe, then Liang Xiao could only buy sugarcane at a high price.

Liang Xiao looked at the notary and said, "Your Excellency, you have also witnessed that the head of the Bai family can't take out five thousand taels of silver for sugarcane, so the contract takes effect!" ”

The notary glanced at Bai He, who wanted to cry without tears, and said stubbornly: "This is nature, written here in black and white......"

Bai He gave him a lot of "heart", but Liang Xiao is now a first-grade imperial merchant and a seventh-grade official of the imperial court, so he doesn't want to provoke him.

No matter how Bai He pleaded, Liang Xiao was indifferent and determined to win the purchase channel.

"Master Bai, I am now a first-class imperial businessman, but I am doing business for my emperor, I advise you to cooperate a little, don't end up with a crime of bullying yourself or something."

Liang Xiao's "goodwill" reminder completely defeated Baihe's only remaining luck.

Liang Xiao can be looked down on, but today's empress ......

Bai He finally confessed, and Liang Xiao immediately sent someone to supervise the arrival of the sugarcane.

After sugarcane is picked, if it is not exposed to the sun, it can generally only be stored for about seven days, and it has been more than half a day since picking and transporting goods.

1.2 million catties of high-quality sugarcane, after peeling and squeezing out sugar water, there are about 700,000 catties, which requires a large amount of firewood to boil into sugar water, and preserves it, and finally can produce nearly 200,000 catties of sugar, which takes 20 days.

These 200,000 catties of white sugar are sold at a price of 300 wen per catty for half of the given Guohou Mansion, and the other 100,000 catties are sold for 400 wen, which can be sold for 70,000 taels!

This time the sugarcane was obtained by his empty gloves and white wolf, zero cost, deducting the cost of labor, firewood and other costs, he could probably earn 65,000 taels, and then take 60 percent, and the remaining 10 percent of the soup porridge and 30 percent for the empress, there are also close to 40,000 taels!

That's just the current month's income.

The sugar market has a lot to offer in the short term, especially the wealthy households in Jiangnan, who are definitely flocking to it.

Just 200,000 catties of white sugar is really not enough for the rich people in Jiangnan, Jiangbei and Beijing to stuff their teeth......

If you buy it yourself in the future, the cost of sugarcane will be reduced to five cents a pound if you count the transportation cost, but the point is that you don't have to rely on people and get stuck in your neck.

After the empress learned of this, she couldn't help but marvel at Liang Xiao's shamelessness, and immediately appointed Xuanwei Bai Qin to assist Liang Xiao in counting.

When this Bai Qin was out on a mission, he was loyal and loyal as a cover for business and shopkeepers, and he was also taken aback when he learned that Liang Xiaokong was a white wolf, and rushed to help.

"The Dingguo Marquis Mansion actually helped Liang Xiao harm Baihe??"

When everyone in the Marquis Mansion received the news, they were shocked and angry.

Nangong Tian frowned and said, "Ning Ning, you say, is it possible that Mu Qinxue has already taken a fancy to that kid?" ”

Nangong Ning sneered: "The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is a family of fathers that even we can't climb, how can we look down on a businessman?" ”

Nanmiya Tian was speechless.

In fact, the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion also went to the Marquis Mansion of Dingguo for him to propose marriage, but he was refused.

Later, Nangong Ning could only retreat and match his future eldest brother Duanmu Yuncheng, so that Duanmu Yuncheng had the opportunity to get close to Mu Qinxue.

But Mu Qinxue obviously had no feelings for Duanmu Cloud City, and her brother Mu Lingxiao made no secret of his dislike for Duanmu Cloud City.

Nangong Lei sighed: "The Dingguo Marquis Mansion should have taken a fancy to Liang Xiao's white sugar, although the Bai family has the Duanmu family and us to cover it, but in front of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, it is indeed no different from ants." ”

Nangong Ning was silent.

Outsiders don't know that in fact, her relationship with Mu Qinxue is very ordinary, and she has always taken the initiative to post it.

Mu Qinxue has never been to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

Since Mu Qinxue spoke for Liang Xiao, their so-called girlfriend relationship has existed in name only.

Now, she can only pray that the Duanmu family can follow suit and clean up Liang Xiao.

Now the Duanmu family is not comfortable, in the past, the pastry shop could bring a lot of income to the family, but now because of the shortage of sugar, the business has been crushed by the new desserts of the Mujia pastry shop.

"This Liang Xiao is neither willing to cooperate with us in making salt and selling salt, nor selling us sugar in batches? Is this determined to go against our family? ”

Everyone in the Duanmu family gathered together to discuss, and their faces were ugly.

Losing the pastry shop business is not painful for the entire family, but Liang Xiao gave them a rather dangerous signal.

"This kid will fight against us in other ways in the future, right? Find a way to dig a pit for him, let him break the law, and then let the faint king take back his privileges, preferably to raid his house! Duanmu Yunqing said with a blue face.

The two brothers were humiliated by Liang Xiao in public in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they were disgraced, and they are embarrassed to go out to meet guests until now!

As soon as they went out, when others saw them, they had to ask about Liang Xiao.

It's a shame!

And the ant who didn't even deserve to let them look at it at the beginning has now turned into a first-class imperial businessman, the representative of the emperor!

"The head of the family, just now, the remaining displaced people in the capital were recruited by Liang Xiao, and more than 500 households were all recruited by Liang Xiao!"

Duanmu Cao was taken aback: "Duanjun also specially praised this son in the early dynasty for work relief, it seems that he has the intention to support him to enter the officialdom, you must be careful!" ”

Duanmu Yuncheng suddenly smiled and said, "Dad, isn't there any news recently, there is still a small group of homeless people near the capital?" We can send someone in there and be his workers......"

"Wonderful! When the time comes, I can't say that I will be able to get his white sugar technology! The crowd praised it.

Liang Xiao has been very busy in the past two days.

The original homeless people in the capital were all recruited by him, and the total number of workers was 550.

But in his opinion, it is far from enough!

On average, he has to spend more than 1,800 taels of wages and benefits on workers' families every month, which is nothing compared to his monthly income of tens of thousands of taels.

Recruiting ordinary workers in the capital may be infiltrated by the enemy......

At this moment, Gu Pingxiu, the commander of Xuanwei, rushed to report.

"Boss, I received information from the Lord's side, there is still a group of displaced people twenty miles northwest of the capital, and they are being sent to the capital ......"
