Chapter 756 Gayao’s worries

After Ye Zi's explanation, Yunzheng finally understood what was going on.

There is indeed sugar in Daqian Dynasty.

After Shen Nanzheng and his son died in battle, Emperor Wen generously rewarded the Shen family.

Among them, there is a jar of sugar.

Because of this, Ye Zi was able to see Baitang.

However, white sugar in the Daqian Dynasty was very difficult to obtain and was not sold on the market at all.

White sugar was almost exclusively reserved for royalty.

Those ministers with meritorious service could only get sugar through rewards from Emperor Wen.

It is said that before Emperor Wen ascended the throne, although sugar was difficult to obtain, the output was much higher than it is now.

Emperor Wen felt that this white sugar was not much different from brown sugar except that it looked better and tasted slightly better, but the manpower and material resources spent on making brown sugar were countless times.

In order to curb the extravagance in the court, Emperor Wen ordered strict control of sugar production.

Therefore, you can’t buy white sugar now even with money.

"I see."

Yun Zheng was determined.

It would be nice if white sugar didn't become a commodity on the street.

Your plan to make a fortune can still go on!

Ugh!

To say that I had a really miserable life before!

The dignified prince has never even seen sugar.

This is so fucking miserable.

Ye Zi's eyes flashed and he asked curiously: "How much brown sugar did you use to make this white sugar?"

Ye Zi has already seen the huge business opportunities in sugar.

One tael of white sugar and one tael of gold!

This is no lie!

Even if sold in large quantities, the price of white sugar will be much higher than that of brown sugar.

"About four pounds!"

Yun Zheng stretched out four fingers.

"Only...four pounds?"

Ye Zi's eyes widened and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

There should be almost a pound of sugar in this bowl!

Trading four pounds of brown sugar for one pound of white sugar is simply equivalent to robbing money!

"Four pounds is still less?"

Yunzheng couldn't laugh or cry, "Three pounds is too much for me!"

The adsorption capacity of charcoal is still not as good as that of activated carbon.

Moreover, there is a lot of loss and waste in the process of making sugar.

According to the sugar content, two pounds of brown sugar should be enough to make one pound of white sugar.

This technology and process still need to be further improved in the future.

"You are so greedy!"

Ye Zi was angry, her eyes filled with admiration.

Yunzheng can actually make sugar.

If you can sell a large amount of sugar into the customs, you can make a lot of money!

No wonder this guy dares to exempt himself from business tax.

When he decided to waive the business tax as well, he must have thought about making money from sugar, right?

This surprise is really big!

"It looks like you are going to get rich again..."

Jia Yao looked at Yunzheng with a complicated expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Yunzheng's ways of making money are one after another.

And he invested all the money he earned into Shuobei.

If this continues, Shuobei will develop better, and his army will have more food and pay.

Every time Yunzheng comes up with something, the possibility of Beihuan being able to defeat Yunzheng becomes smaller in the future.

Right now, she could hardly see any possibility of defeating Yun Zheng.

"That is!"

Yun Zheng laughed, "When you return to Beihuan later, I will give you a pound of sugar!"

"Okay!"

Jiayao forced a smile, "Don't talk about white sugar, even brown sugar is precious in Beihuan..."

Sugar, salt, iron...

These things are scarce on the grassland.

"Look at you, why do you say so pitifully?"

Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao with a smile, "Let's just be a couple. In this case, I'll be generous and give you ten pounds of sugar! Later you can use it to reward the meritorious people in Beihuan."

Jia Yao Baiyun gave a stern look, "If you don't cheat me for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over!"

Miaoyin chuckled, "Why did I trick you by giving you precious sugar?"

"Did he want to give me sugar?"

Jiayao glared at Yunzheng with slight annoyance, "He wants to encourage Beihuan's extravagant trend!"

In fact, Gayao doesn't care about the sugar at all.

She had already tasted it, and the sugar tasted just like that.

But this white sugar looks good!

In order to highlight their identity and status, many people will flock to this kind of white sugar.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a luxury thing, and she doesn't want the people in Beihuan to be extravagant.

She does value sugar's ability to make money.

But she also knew clearly that Yun Zheng would never tell her how to make sugar.

"Then do you still want it?"

Yunzheng was not happy anymore.

Ga Yao really wronged him.

He wants to encourage Beihuan's extravagance, so he doesn't know how to sell sugar to Beihuan?

Why send Gayao ten pounds of sugar?

He just couldn't look at Gayao's pitiful appearance.

Using his current method of making white sugar, ten pounds of white sugar is really not worth much.

"Yes! Of course!"

Ga Yao sniffed, "At worst, I'll hide and eat alone!"

"whatever!"

Yunzheng smiled helplessly.

Jiayao has a sense of worry.

Unfortunately, many things may not develop as she wishes.

……

In the next few days, Yunzheng made a lot of sugar.

However, the white sugar he is making now is not for eating.

One sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoal, and some sugar.

As a time traveler, he has naturally heard this.

However, he was not very clear about how sugar improved the performance of gunpowder.

Including the proportions added, he was not very clear.

This can only be known through testing step by step.

A few days later, Chen Bu sent someone to deliver news that 10,000 field soldiers had arrived near Langya Mountain Pass.

Yunzheng immediately led people to escort the new explosives to Langya Mountain Pass.

This time, in order to widen Langya Mountain Pass, Yunzheng brought all the explosives with him.

Thanks to the fact that they purchased some wall salt from within the pass, this time, they had slightly more explosives in their hands.

In addition, sugar is added to the gunpowder this time, and the effect is definitely better than before.

If the Langya Pass is not widened and bridged, it will be even more troublesome when the ice and snow melt.

"When do you plan to use troops against the Great Moon Country?"

On the way, Jiayao couldn't help but ask Yunzheng again.

She knew in her heart that Yunzheng would destroy Dayue Kingdom, whether from a strategic perspective or a personal grudge point of view.

If it were her, she would definitely destroy Dayue Kingdom.

No matter what happens, we must completely cripple Dayue Kingdom so that it loses the ability to fight again.

"It's not clear right now."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Let's check the situation first! If we decide to use troops against Dayue Kingdom, I will notify you in advance."

"I know you won't leave us behind!" Jia Yao glanced sideways at Yunzheng, "I won't say anything else. Anyway, just don't be too cruel to us! We have been defeated one after another, so it's time to recuperate... "

"Who isn't?"

Yun Zheng smiled calmly, "I also hope that after using troops against Dayue Kingdom, there will be no more wars within twenty years!"

Will there be no war in twenty years?

Ga Yao secretly curled his lips.

It would be weird to believe him!

The tribes in Moxi are always a threat to Daqian.

With Yunzheng's character, he will definitely break up all the tribes in Moxi!

After such a fight, there is no force around Daqian that can threaten Daqian anymore.

This is definitely not a good outcome for those forces that surrendered to Daqian.

However, there is nothing they can do in this situation.

Ugh!

Beihuan's situation is getting more and more difficult...
