"Liang Aiqing, I still want to remind you, you can't let my imperial sister know these words today, otherwise I will give you a clean body to enter the palace! Liang Aiqing, you don't want the Liang Mansion to be extinct, right? ”

Liang Xiao looked at the empress who suddenly pretended to be cold, and felt as if he was inexplicable, and he didn't forget to say: "The minister doesn't dare, he doesn't dare." ”

However, Liang Xiao was still a little moved in his heart.

This empress still looks a little human, not ruthless.

The empress was finally satisfied, and sent Xuanwei to call Duan Yunchong and Jiang Fuxue.

After sending off his brother and sister, Duan Yunchong looked at his sister in surprise.

"Sister, have you drunk too much?"

The empress said softly: "It's okay, I talked to him about some military affairs, on a whim, I drank a few more glasses, and I won't be in the future." ”

Duan Yunsleeve said proudly: "Oh, he is the only peer who can make my sister lose her temper!" ”

"Well, it's ......"

When he returned home, Liang Xiao arranged for someone to visit Qin Baili and others.

At the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, these people were able to risk offending the family to support him, which shows that they all have the backbone of scholars.

Now that he has made a small fortune and the sugar industry is on the right track, he has the money and leisure to visit these talents.

Such a person is the backbone of the future of the Great Zhou, he doesn't want to see the Great Zhou become the next coward, and the disaster of moving the capital is already an indelible shame, but he can't have a Jingkang shame.

Jiang Fuxue was discussing with her grandmother in the room.

"I met the Empress of Da Zhou today, she is so beautiful and beautiful, even I like it! If my brother can become the emperor of the Great Zhou, wouldn't it be equivalent to owning the entire Great Zhou Dynasty? ”

When Grandma heard this, her expression changed greatly: "Miss, this kind of thing is not interesting to say outside, it will not affect the young master!" ”

Jiang Fuxue, who was originally arrogant, instantly regained her well-behaved demeanor, blinked her watery eyes, looked at her grandmother, and said, "Am I not behaving well enough outside?" ”

"Enough ......," Grandma muttered.

Who would have thought that this "good girl" was full of calculations.

Of course, it's all for his brother's calculations.

"Empress, princess, Mu Qinxue, well, that Zhuge Yun also has a chance~"

The more Grandma listened, the more frightened she became.

These people are either nobles or granddaughters of ministers, and the young lady really dares to think about it......

The next day, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion received Liang Xiao's 10,000 catties of sugar, 300 wen per catty, 30 wen cheaper than the original.

Mu Ping and Mrs. Mu's brows furrowed.

Since he has completely offended the Duanmu family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion because of Liang Xiao, then cooperate with Liang Xiao well, and the old man will be happier when he comes back......

At the same time, the Gongsun family also received 10,000 catties of sugar, which was yesterday's output, 380 wen per catty, 20 wen cheaper than the market price.

Gongsun Ling smiled from ear to ear.

The benefits of ceding sugar cane and paper mills far outweigh the benefits of this industry.

According to Gongsun Ling's estimate, the cost of saving 200 taels of silver per 10,000 catties is just enough to transport sugar.

Just the day before yesterday, the white sugar of the Gongsun family was transported to the Jiangbei area through a fast horse, and those rich people tasted it for the first time and offered a price of 600 wen per catty!

Even if the price falls back in the future, the Gongsun family can guarantee a profit!

In this way, he can not only meet the requirements of the head of the family, but also not offend the fourth lady, the best of both worlds!

On the other hand, the Duanmu family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion are very anxious.

It's only been a month, and the Duanmu family's pastry industry has been completely crushed by the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

The caramel and stone honey produced by the sugar mill are not as popular as they used to be.

The rich people in the capital would rather spend more money to buy shiny white sugar than look down on the caramel and stone honey that they have long been tired of.

They have also tried to add caramel and stone honey to pastries, but either the taste and quality are not as good as those with white sugar, or the cost is much higher than that of white sugar, because they have to put in several times as much caramel.

The value of white sugar is increasingly recognized by the public.

And now, the Duanmu family and several other monopoly bookstores also have signs of being targeted by Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao is buying a large number of ink materials, and papermaking materials, as well as various cement and wood boards, with unknown intentions!

But all of this has something to do with the book industry!

Zhenyuan Houfu operates a pastry shop and a high-end inn, but because of the lack of sweets, it is crushed by the inn of Dingguo Houfu.

The "sweet and sour pork ribs" of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion are a must-have that have risen recently, and countless rich people are flocking to them!

In the capital, all the old industries that can make money have long been carved up by the major forces, and the common people are not allowed to get involved.

But anyone who can still be a businessman has more or less the light of these forces.

And now because of the emergence of Liang Xiao, some industrial patterns are about to usher in changes!

And recently, the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion has just entered the book industry of Da Zhou!

The industries of the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion are more or less threatened by Liang Xiao.

And now that Liang Xiao is famous, and he also has the scenery of a first-class imperial businessman, the Chaozhong family did not dare to touch him for a while, lest he become the target of public criticism.

On this day, Duan Yunsleeve specially went to Liang Xiao's sugar factory to "admire" the sugar making process.

The pottery of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion specially fired the tile slip, which is placed on the sugar jar, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, leaving a small hole at the bottom, and the workers plug the small hole with grass.

Now she was in the workshop, watching the workers pour the syrup that had congealed into a sugar paste into the tile.

When the sugar paste has solidified, the grass stuffed in the small holes is removed, and yellow mud water is poured over it, and the black syrup is poured into the tank, and all the parts left in the tile slip turn into white sugar.

The top layer is about five inches thick and very white.

"Wonderful!" Duan Yunsleeve's face turned red with excitement, and he secretly glanced at Liang Xiao, who had a calm face.

She never thought that the yellow mud water would have such an effect!

Rock sugar is further made with white sugar.

Heat and dissolve the top layer of sugar, clarify it with egg white, and remove the scum from the surface, as long as you pay attention to properly control the heat.

Cut the fresh green bamboo into one-inch-long slices and sprinkle them into the sugar solution. After a night, it naturally condenses into rock candy like natural ice cubes, and can even be made into lion candy, elephant candy, and human figures.

As for the coarse sugar content, you can choose it according to your choice.

"This rock candy should be more expensive, why don't you take it out and sell it?" Duan Yunsleeve said eagerly.

Since acquiescing to her sister's proposal to merge with her, she has been more concerned about Liang Xiao's development.

Now she is very relieved, after all, these utensils and processes are not easy to imitate, especially the control of the heat, which affects the quality of the final sugar.

"I'm thinking about pricing." Liang Xiao replied.

Duan Yunsleeve raised his eyebrows, and said confidently: "Such a good thing, others can't make it, why do you need to think about it?" Start with 500 Wen, let them raise the price! You can always trust the financial strength of the rich people of Da Zhou! ”

After speaking, Duan Yunsleeve realized something and lowered his head in shame.

But soon, Duan Yunsleeve remembered that Liang Xiao treated the homeless people well, and regained his former look, his face was full of pride.

This is his future husband, he is not unkind to the rich!

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside, and Gu Pingxiu came back.

Gu Pingxiu, who was waiting outside, was stunned when he saw Duan Yunsleeve, whose pretty face was flushed, and after saluting, he said to Liang Xiao: "Boss, we have found a reliable horse dealer!" They're all good horses! ”
