Chapter 61: The Wonderful Use of Yellow Clay Water (2)
Li Bo nodded desperately: "Yes! I used to see big families in the city spend a penny to buy a piece of rock candy, and the rock candy is only so big-" He gestured the size of his fingers, "Brother Guo, this white sugar, as long as it is a little cheaper than rock sugar, you won't have no customers!"
Li Bo quickly calculated: "On the market now, a pound of brown sugar costs 50 copper coins, and this white sugar costs 100 wen at least -- no, even if it is 150 wen a catty, some people rush to buy it! Let's buy brown sugar, and use Brother Guo's method of pouring sugar for yellow muddy water, the capital is just some firewood and straw paper, well, there will be a lot of cost to turn brown sugar into white sugar, almost a pound of brown sugar can be turned into seven or eight taels of white sugar, so it is still a big profit, this is two or three times the profit! Brother Guo, we have made a fortune! We have made a fortune!"
The stupid big man said: "What's 'we made a fortune', this is the method that Brother Guo came up with, it was he who made a fortune, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Li Bo was stunned for a moment, and calmed down from the excitement, yes, although this method of drenching sugar in yellow mud water is simple, but before Guo Dalu, no one has ever found this method of turning decay into magic, this windfall should belong to Guo Dalu, he is just an anonymous student of Guo Dalu, and he operated according to his instructions, and there is no credit at all, what is there to be excited about?
Guo Dalu patted the stupid big man on the shoulder: "What's yours and mine, this is everyone's, the money earned from this sugar is all used on the children, and if there is any excess, it will be subsidized to every household in the village, I have long said that I want to let the villagers of Houlong Village live a good life." ”
Li Bo listened to Guo Dalu's words beside him, his mood was complicated, he knew in his heart that this method of turning brown sugar into white sugar, how much money could he make, if he got this magic method instead, he would never tell others, even if it was his own family, it was also passed on to his son but not to his daughter, relying on this unique magic method, not to mention that he could ensure three generations of wealth!
But Guo Dalu was gentle and ingenious, and taught this method to a few hairy children in the countryside, and even taught them how to do it by hand.
Guo Dalu ordered some prepared sugar: "Take a delicate wooden box, collect a piece of white sugar as a sample, and bring the rest back by donkey skin, give your mother a taste, tell your mother, in a few days, after opening the sales of white sugar, her life will be much better, and your brother will have enough milk to eat." After all, your mother's lack of milk is all malnourished. ”
Brother Hao, Silly Big Man and Li Bo did everything according to Guo Dalu's instructions, and then they saluted and left, and when Li Bo took away the sugar, he gave Guo Dalu a big salute.
Guo Dalu was thinking about how to get a start-up capital in his room - although the method of turning brown sugar into white sugar comes quickly, it also requires capital, and he has to buy brown sugar before he can make white sugar, and brown sugar itself is not cheap, if it is simply collected from the villagers of Houlong, it will definitely not be able to get much.
According to Guo Dalu's idea, the first batch of white sugar will not only be sold to Yinxian, but also transported to Fucheng to seize the high-end market, make a name for white sugar, and earn the first pot of gold.
Guo Dalu also wants to do his own business, but this method of turning brown sugar into white sugar cannot be kept secret forever. If you really want to keep it secret, the best way is to take the whole process from planting sugarcane to harvesting to sugar production, and keep it all in your own hands, so as to improve the efficiency of secrecy.
But now Houlong Village itself does not grow sugarcane, Guo Dalu has been restricted in the raw material port, so he has to buy brown sugar first, and then make white sugar, and buy brown sugar on a large scale from the market, which will soon be discovered by people who are interested, as long as other merchants get stuck their necks from the brown sugar purchase channel, Guo Dalu's white sugar business will not last long.
And there is not much technical threshold for the yellow mud water drenching method, if someone wants to go to Houlong Village to investigate, it is a matter of time before the secret is revealed, which is similar to a straw paper workshop, and if you want to rely on the white sugar making method to lie down and eat it for generations, that is the most idiotic idea, and only a country child like Li Bo who does not have much knowledge will be so confused.
Li Bo also didn't want to think about it, brown sugar turned into white sugar, and it was two or three times the profit when it changed hands, which could make many people red-eyed, and behind those big merchants were high-ranking officials and nobles, and if any high-ranking official committed pink eye, as long as he played some tricks, this secret method of drenching yellow mud and water would not be able to be preserved -- this county order that broke the family, the prefect who destroyed the door, and the people did not fight with the officials, etc., but ancient and modern China and foreign countries are the same.
Therefore, in Guo Dalu's plan, there must be a huge amount of start-up capital, and then buy brown sugar from the market on a large scale, make white sugar, and then put it into the market in one fell swoop, first make a pot of gold, and then after that, it is as much as you can earn, until a corrupt official casts his greedy eyes on Houlong Village, a remote mountain village, stretches out his dirty paws, and then the family is ruined. No, no, Guo Dalu will never let himself die for a white sugar method, if there is really any corrupt official who tries to make a white sugar law, Guo Dalu does not need to be threatened and lured, he has already held the yellow mud water drenching method in both hands.
Guo Dalu has a way to make money in this world, and the yellow mud water drenching method is only the most insignificant one.
In fact, in Guo Dalu's heart, in this Great Li Dynasty, his real wealth is the children in Houlong Village, those Hao Ge'er, Silly Big Man, Li Bo, Big Girl, and Second Girl who are listening to his lectures - even if Guo Dalu is full of wealth, it is impossible to change this world, but if there is a group of people, a group of people who have mastered modern knowledge, it will be different.
Guo Dalu has received a complete basic education in the 21st century, this science and technology is the primary productive force, even if a lot of the knowledge he has learned is not professional, but even some of the most superficial knowledge has been much more advanced than the Great Li Dynasty.
Guo Dalu believes that after he selectively imparts this knowledge to the children of Houlong Village, he will definitely be able to cultivate a lot of talents from among them, and these talents are the real wealth, and it is easy to make a fortune with these talents, which is really overkill, that is, to promote the development of the entire Great Li Dynasty.
According to Guo Dalu's thoughts, he eats the organic food of the Great Li Dynasty, breathes pure air, drinks the peasant women's spring every day, and can live to be seventy or eighty years old, and in his lifetime, he will definitely be able to lead the Great Li Dynasty into the steam age, this is Guo Dalu's ambition!
In Guo Dalu's view, there is no difference between the people of the Great Li Dynasty and the modern people of the 21st century in essence, everyone's IQ should be about the same, the difference is only the difference in education, a child of the Great Li Dynasty is thrown into the classroom of the 21st century school, the same can get a good score, and can quickly learn to play online games and draw WeChat on the mobile phone with Alipay, the same, a child in the 21st century has been thrown into the hands of the old master of the Great Li Dynasty since childhood, and recites the eight-strand text every day, and within three or five years, the thinking will be ossified- The brain is broken.
The child itself is a blank slate, depending on the difference in acquired education.
Guo Dalu has dreamed back countless times at midnight, asking himself the meaning of crossing into this overhead Li Dynasty, if he is just a rich man, he is really blind to the opportunity God gave him to cross, after thinking for a long, long time, he realized that he is a bacterium in this Great Li Dynasty, no, it should be a virus.
A virus that is completely different from the "ecosystem" of the Great Li Dynasty itself, however, although the virus is small, it can kill a sturdy adult, Guo Dalu is a virus that changed the Great Li Dynasty, and his mission is very simple, that is, to let villagers like Houlong Village live a good life.
A very high ideal.
Who's to say it's impossible, though?
Those who have crossed the gods, which one is not fighting with the sky and the earth, fighting with people, and having endless fun, recreating a new China is a small meaning, cracking the earth and mildew is a must, and unifying the world is the real man!
Well, cough cough, okay, all of the above are Guo Dalu's blind thoughts, in fact, where does he see such a long-term, just take a step at a time, he is just a student of a third-rate university, where is there any advanced development concept, whether it is teaching the children of Houlong Village to read, or coming up with some various ways to get rich, it is just a pat on the head and do it casually.
It's just that one thing is true, that is, Guo Dalu has a pure nature, he can't see the people around him suffering, and always hopes to rely on his own ability to make himself and the people around him live a good life.
The so-called poor is good for themselves, and good is for the world, which is the same reason.
Guo Dalu's mind was full of messy thoughts, and he wandered around to his hometown that was used as a school, it was daytime, and there were no children in the school, it was empty, only a few sparrows were jumping around on the muddy ground in front of the hall.
Guo Dalu entered the door, closed the door, and walked to his lectern, there is a wooden chair behind the table, and there is a lectern in front, in order to facilitate Guo Dalu's lectures, the children sitting in the last row can see Guo Dalu, so the wooden chair and the podium are relatively large.
Guo Dalu lifted the tablecloth covering the podium and took out a trash can from inside.
Guo Dalu's most precious magic weapon to settle down in this different time and space - Bao 10 clean trash cans, is placed under the podium, under the noses of dozens of children!
The most dangerous places are sometimes the safest places.
Guo Dalu once buried the garbage cans in the forest behind the old house, once dug holes in his hometown to hide, and tried to make a sandwich wall in his new home to put garbage cans, but in the end he found that these methods were inconvenient.
Because the trash can will regularly send garbage over every day, Guo Dalu has to open the trash can every day to take things, no matter where the trash can is hidden, Guo Dalu has to dig it out every day, take it out, over time, no matter how secret it is, it will be exposed.
