"Grandpa Guo, you don't know this."

"Miss is building a white sugar workshop recently, and after listening to her meaning, this sugar will become more and more and cheaper."

As soon as Xiaochan's words came out, Huo Jingzhi and the eldest princess of Ningyang were stunned at first, and then turned their heads to look at her.

"What did you just say?"

The eldest princess of Ningyang asked.

Xiaochan repeated it again, and then opened her mouth to describe the white sugar.

Hearing her say that the white sugar that Huo Junyao made was as white as snow, both of them couldn't believe it.

Seeing this, Xiaochan said with a smile; "Your Highness, don't believe it, Grandpa Guo, the slave will go and fetch some white sugar for you."

Not long after, Xiaochan came back with a small jar of white sugar, and when they saw the crystal white white sugar in the porcelain jar, both of them were stunned.

Even Prince Wenruo, who had been showing off his popcorn, padded his feet and stretched his neck to look.

"Is this sugar? It's so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful candy. ”

As he spoke, Huo Jingzhi reached out and pinched out a little bit from the porcelain jar and put it in his mouth, his eyes immediately widened.

"This, this, this"

It's not just that Prince Wenruo has never seen it, but he, who has lived for most of his life, has never seen such sugar.

"This is Yaoyao?"

The eldest princess of Ningyang was also surprised after tasting it.

"Yes, Miss made it out some time ago, and then handed it over to Sister Lixia to work on, but it's not too familiar yet, and the workshop is not ready yet."

"But it's also fast, and it will only take about ten days at most to start mass production."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi and the others hurriedly asked how the white sugar was made.

Xiaochan talked for a long time, but the two couldn't figure it out.

In the end, Xiaochan could only take the two of them to forget the summer.

Forget Xia was teaching the women and girls who came from Huo Junyao's village the steps to purify white sugar, and when they saw the eldest princess of Ningyang and Huo Jingzhi coming, they hurriedly trotted over to salute and say hello.

As soon as they heard her name, those who followed along with the study also nervously saluted and greeted.

"Everyone, let's be busy, let's take a look."

The eldest princess of Ningyang waved her hand with a smile, and then looked left and right.

"Your Highness, Grandpa Guo, there is the sugar that has been purified, and it will soon be formed."

Forget Xia introduced, and the two walked over to take a look, very surprised.

"It's just that simple to make white sugar?"

"Yes."

Forget Xia nodded respectfully.

"How much does it cost?"

Huo Jingzhi asked.

Forget Xia pondered for a moment and reported the cost to some extent, Huo Jingzhi's brows frowned slightly.

It's not cheap, according to Forgotten Xia, they all buy the finished sugar cubes on the market, and purify them after getting them back.

The amount of finished products obtained is much lower than the sugar bars that were bought.

"Now the sugar cubes on the market cost 300 yuan per catty, and the young lady we got has already set the price, and it always costs a catty."

As soon as Forget Xia's words fell, Huo Jingzhi and the eldest princess of Ningyang gasped.

That's too expensive, right?

According to what Forget Xia said just now, those sugar cubes on the market can be purified when they are brought back, and they can come out with a pound and a half of white sugar, even if it is calculated according to two catties, that is, six hundred Wen, after such a simple purification.

actually had to sell an extra 400 wen a catty.

It's also a bit too profitable.

Of course, after being shocked, they also thought about the appearance and taste of this white sugar, and they were more willing to buy it.

"Your Royal Highness, Grandpa Guo, Miss said, this thing is aimed at those powerful people, this kind of people have money, and money has always been nothing to them."

This is not false at all, don't look at the poor people of the Yu Dynasty, but the poor are only ordinary people in the court, and those nobles and gentry are not poor at all.

Not only are they not poor, but they are also very rich, and they are even rich compared to the imperial court.

has always been a pound of money, which is sky-high for ordinary people, but for this type of people, it is nothing at all.

"Since it's so expensive, why did Xiaochan just say that the people will be able to eat it in the future?"

"Rare things are expensive, and with better ones, the original will naturally have no market, and naturally it will not be able to continue to sell at the original price."

"The price reduction is only secondary, and the price of white sugar will slowly decrease in the face of the increase in white sugar."

Huo Jingzhi nodded, he could understand this.

"Daddy, you're here, the food is ready."

The group returned to the main courtyard, and at this time, the food had been placed on the table, and it looked like it was full of color, flavor, and taste.

"Daddy, His Royal Highness Prince Wenruo, please sit down and try these new dishes."

Several people sat down one after another.

"Cousin, did you do all this?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao nodded with a smile; "I didn't do it all, but I gave it to the cook."

Then she pointed to the plate of fried tenderloin and said; "This is what I did, I made a special trip for you, come and try it."

Prince Wenruo was even more happy, and his small mouth was full of exclamations and praises.

After lunch, Huo Jingzhi asked Xiaochan to take Prince Wenruo to play in the courtyard outside.

"Dad, why did this Prince Wenruo follow you to me?"

Huo Junyao has always been curious about this.

"It's a long story."

Then Huo Jingzhi asked Emperor Zhaowu to be the master of Prince Wenruo, who was responsible for teaching him, and said in detail what he said in the imperial study this morning.

Hearing this, Huo Junyao pondered for a moment and nodded; "Since there is no way to avoid it, it is good for you to do this, Dad."

"It's just that I'm afraid it won't be too easy for this little guy to go further."

"Yes, although the emperor intends to cultivate, but until the end, who can know the final result?"

"Being a father means teaching how we should teach, and we don't take the initiative to mix."

"Well, that's for the best."

Regarding her father's choice, Huo Junyao didn't feel anything.

Teaching Prince Wen Ruo not to take the initiative to get involved is also a good thing for them at present.

Now that the court is competing for three princes, many courtiers have been co-opted by them, and those neutral ministers will only have more and more difficult times in the future.

After all, you have always maintained neutrality, no one stands, and people may not take the initiative to provoke you, but when there is an opportunity, they will still suppress it.

It's not just about worrying that you'll fall on someone else, it's also about trying to get more opportunities for people in your own faction.

Now that Huo Jingzhi has become the teacher of Prince Wenruo, then in the eyes of outsiders, even if they are members of Prince Wenruo's faction, how old is Prince Wenruo's now.

There is no threat at all, and for this kind of person who is not a threat and has already stood in line, although he can't please the other three parties, he will not be afraid of them.
