Chapter 176: Foreigner's Toys

The little brother answered, and said that the wooden ladder led the two up to the second floor.

Compared to the snack counter on the first floor, which is full of exhibition halls, there are many fewer exhibits here.

Moreover, the merchants who have capital to go to the second floor do not account for the majority, only a dozen people.

However, just looking at the glass counter outside the exhibits, you can find that each individual glass cabinet has a different shape, which is very eye-catching.

It's still the same, from the time I went upstairs, the little brother introduced the two of them in turn.

"If the two of you want to cooperate with us in the business on the second floor of Estuary City, you will need to spend a little more."

After Lu Youzhi looked at the transparent glass, a pile of white fine sand was stunned.

"It's ...... Gemstones? Why are they all crushed? ”

The little brother smiled and shook his head, "This uncle, this thing is called white sugar, compared to the starch sugar we usually eat, the quality is better, the flavor is better, and it is easy to preserve, it is not difficult to make, it can become a perfect substitute for starch sugar!" ”

As he spoke, the little brother also looked left and right, and when he was sure that no one nearby noticed him, he leaned into Lu Youzhi's ear and whispered:

"His Royal Highness the Sea King also said that white sugar is an important strategic material in wartime, which can not only quickly replenish physical strength, but can even be used to make gunpowder!"

When Lu Youzhi heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Is that true?!"

You must know that the batch of firearms that King Zhennan bought from the Xiyi people is not abundant now, and when he makes gunpowder on his side, it is not only expensive, but also very dangerous, and if he doesn't do it well, he will have a big accident, so he has always been cautious.

If it is really like what the little brother said, Wen Chen can use the easy-to-make white sugar to prepare gunpowder, then it will solve a big problem for the king of Zhennan!

That's a lot of money!

"Anyway, His Royal Highness the Sea King said so, but I suggest that the two of you should not fight this idea, private gunpowder is to kill the head, and you don't know the specific formula."

"That's nature." Lu Youzhi sneered, he already had some ideas in his heart, but he glanced at the bidding price tag of up to 500,000 taels under the white sugar, and still sighed secretly.

He also understands that the more things ordinary people can afford, the greater the oil and water in them, compared to white sugar, there are a few bottles of perfume on the counter next to it, and the price of cooperation is much lower, and the current bid is only 98,000 taels.

Although I don't know the specific function of this thing, I look at the gorgeous packaging of it, and it is for the rich.

Seeing that the two were silent, the tour guide thought that the price of white sugar had scared them, so he took them to the glass cabinet in the middle.

Inside, there were several oddly shaped pot-bellied glass cups, as well as a dark brown glass bottle, which seemed to contain some kind of liquid.

"If you think the value of white sugar still needs to be considered, why don't you try this bottle of foreign wine, it is a fresh item brought back from overseas, and it is not common in our local Dasheng!"

"Sheep wine?" Han Chuang raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness the Sea King is also too bad about things, and there is also wine specially for sheep?" ”

The little brother smiled dumbly, waved his hand and explained, "Because Ingoda is located in the Western Ocean, His Royal Highness the Sea King generally calls the people there foreigners, and the wine they bring is called foreign wine, by the way, there are some toys brought by foreigners over there, called foreign ......."

"Equipment!" Han Chuang preemptively replied, "I understand this!" ”

The little brother has a black line, "It's a doll......"

Lu Youzhi's old face turned red, and he hurriedly changed the topic, "Foreign wine should be the wine made by the Xiyi people from grapes and berries, right?" ”

"I've had the pleasure of tasting it a few times, and occasionally having a drink, the taste is also good!"

After saying that, there was some emotion in his heart, and Reddick also mentioned to the prince that he wanted to sell their own wine in the three southeastern states, but the king of Zhennan rejected the proposal because of the poor taste and the unlucky color of the wine.

Now I didn't expect to be picked up by Wen Chen, a kid, and sold to dealers as a cooperative project, looking at the price tag below, there is also a price tag of 127,000 taels of silver, which shows that there are still many people who recognize this different drink, which can be said to have made a lot of windfall out of thin air!

It seems that Wen Chen started from scratch in Qingcheng, not as everyone thinks, just lucky, this kid has a unique vision, and he is indeed a business material!

"It's still this uncle who knows the goods!" The little brother immediately complimented, "To be honest, the brewing cost of this wine is not high, His Royal Highness the Sea King thinks that he wants to plant grapes and berries in Yizhou in large quantities and produce foreign wine by himself. ”

Lu Youzhi, who was just about to turn around, heard this, turned his head sharply, and said in surprise:

"Yizhou? Your Highness the Sea King has already extended his hand to Yizhou?! ”

"That's a terrible thing to say!" The little brother waved his hand and said, "Your Highness is a great merit to help the people of Yizhou to rebuild after the war in the form of investment!" Uncle said it as if His Royal Highness the Sea King of my family was plotting against him......"

What a god who doesn't know it!

Lu Youzhi frowned slightly, in the past two years, how to purge Ning Peizhi's remnants has always been a headache for the prince and himself.

These people usually have no fixed residence, wander around, and there are quite a few of them, and they have long incited the local people to resist the appeasement of the king of Zhennan, and many encirclements and suppressions have no effect.

I didn't expect that King Zhennan, the youngest son who made a fortune in a muffled voice, was already planning to do business in Yizhou, and listening to this tone, he didn't seem to take Ning Peizhi's remnants of the party in his eyes.

"Your Royal Highness the Sea King, aren't you afraid that when you are planting crops in Yizhou, you will be harassed by the remnants of the Ning Army and lose everything?"

The little brother laughed, "You don't have to worry about this, His Royal Highness the Sea King has a good relationship, in the past few months, we have gone to Yizhou to do business in Hekou, and we have never encountered a halfway robbery, and His Royal Highness said that if there is an accident because of public security problems, he will compensate the partners for all the losses!" ”

So confident?

Lu Youzhi squinted his eyes, the person who can play this kind of package ticket, saying that he has nothing to do with Ning Peizhi's remnants, I'm afraid the ghost won't believe it.

"How are the two uncles thinking about it? Do you want to call the person in charge out for an interview? ”

Whew-

Lu Youzhi sighed, "Take us to the third floor first." ”

After this experience in the Merchants Pavilion, he became more and more curious about Wen Chen, and since he came, he would find out all the secrets!

I didn't want the little brother to shake his head resolutely, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this request." ”

"Why?" Han Chuang snorted and stood up, "Since Hekou City wants to attract investment, as we are here to investigate, we naturally have to know what you are selling, otherwise why should we rest assured that we will hand over the silver to you?" ”

"Uncle doesn't have to say this, since the two of you don't have a mine at home, then you can choose your favorite projects on the first and second floors, and you can't touch the things on the third floor."

"Hey?"

When Han Chuang heard this, he immediately lost his temper, "Then I have to go up today, what can you do with me?" ”

As he spoke, he put on a tough posture.

Lu Youzhi stood aside expressionlessly, this third floor, he must go up today, otherwise he will never feel at ease!
