Chapter 1266 A little bit of Buddhism is better
In Shen Shizhong, Chen Xu took Shang Qi back to Wuhu Garden and asked the financial manager who followed him to give Shang Qi a five million votes.
Looking at the thick stack of the latest printed copper plates, Shang Qi was so scared that his face was distorted and he said nervously: "Hou...Hou, you don't need so much money to acquire sugarcane and prepare for sugar making factories..."
"This money is not all used to make sugar, but I have other tasks to arrange for you to complete. Sugar is just a superficial matter!" Chen Xu waved his hand slightly.
"Huh~" Shang Qi sighed the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve in a long distance and said, "The Marquis gave him the order if he had something to do, and he would definitely do whatever he wanted!"
"Remember, no word is allowed to be revealed in the next words of this marquis. If you complete it, I will be able to make you rich in the future!"
"Mr. Marquis tells you that Shang Qi's life is given by the Marquis, so you will not refuse!" Shang Qi knelt in front of one knee without any hesitation.
"Okay! My husband collected two thousand young people in Kuaiji and Fujian, and was preparing to send them to an island hundreds of miles away for training. These two thousand people need to buy and transport them from the Central Plains to buy and transport them. Remember not to cut off supplies. This is more urgent than sugar making. You may guarantee to complete the task?"
Shang Qi's body trembled violently, as if he had thought of something, and gritted his teeth and nodded with a pale face, "The Marquis told me that my subordinates would not dare to refuse, but they would have to make a sea boat to rush back and forth for hundreds of miles overseas!"
"The sea boat and the sailor who is proficient in navigation have already been arranged. We will arrive on the coast of Kuaiji soon. Then you go out to sea with me. Remember, this matter is particularly important and urgent. No word or word of the inside story is allowed to be revealed. Get up!" Chen Xu nodded and Shang Qi then got up.
"Some of this money is used to purchase sugarcane to prepare sugar factories in central and Guangdong, and the other part is used to prepare warehouses to purchase grain and clothing for storage. If the money is used up, you can use this marquis' hand to withdraw it from the Huaxia Money House. If there is still a situation that cannot be dealt with, you can go to Jiang Heng or Gao Yi for help, but be careful!" Chen Xu pushed the tickets to Shang Qi.
"Don't worry, my subordinates have become very familiar with Wuzhong in recent years and have known many people, so there will be no trouble!"
After putting away the thick stack of exchange votes, Shang Qi felt his heart beating violently. He was nervous and excited and breathless.
Although he didn't know what Chen Xu's arrangement was, such a large amount of money and such a secret explanation must be a big deal, and this can also be seen as the act of the Marquis formally incorporating him into the circle of the direct line.
I stayed in Wuzhong for six years and finally managed to see the sunrise.
Shang Qi's nervous heart pounded and felt relieved.
"You go first, arrange the sugar factory matters as soon as possible. If you are too busy, it will not be a problem to find some people to cooperate. As for another thing, I will ask someone to find you when the ship arrives..."
Chen Xu ordered, and when Shang Qi said goodbye, he remembered something and said, "By the way, the craftsmen and craftsmen in the sugar factory, as well as the students and teachers of the Agricultural College, each of them paid a bonus. After all, they have been working hard for more than a year. Each of the managerial level is 3,000 yuan, and each of the student craftsmen is 2,000 yuan. You can do the rest and ask the finance department to prepare the account book. I will hand over the sugar factory to you, hoping to develop it as soon as possible. Therefore, these management and technical personnel are very important. Otherwise, once the sugar production license begins to be distributed to the public, these people will be poached by other merchants in a blink of an eye!"
"Yes, don't worry, my subordinates will go and do it immediately. Take care of me and say goodbye!"
After seeing Shang Qi off, Chen Xu carried a can of red sand sugar brought back from the sugar factory to the third floor of the hotel. Although the sun was still strong outside, the air temperature on the balcony was much cooler than at noon. A breeze blew from the direction of Taihu Lake, and the entire balcony was extremely comfortable.
Meng Wanying Shiman Yu Ji Chen Xi and two daughters who could not crawl were both lying next to each other on the reed mat and fell asleep. Chen Xu was dazzled by his white thighs and arms, and his sleeping posture was strange.
"Marty~"
The four concubines and seven or eight little maids were all drowsy on the mat, drowsy and dozing off all at once. Seeing Chen Xu coming up, they all stood up together and saluted.
"Shh~" Chen Xu raised a finger, and a group of women quickly lowered their voices.
"What is this what my husband mentioned?" Shui, who was meditating and reading a book, stood up silently, walked to Chen Xu barefoot and asked curiously.
"This is what I mentioned before. I went to the sugar factory just now. My wife tasted it and saw if it was sweet?"
Chen Xu smiled and uncovered the lid of the clay pot. A rich sweet smell was emitted, and at the same time, dipped it out with his fingers and stretched it to the soft lips.
Shui Qingrou opened her mouth and licked it gently for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "It's really sweet, my husband didn't lie to us!"
"Mr. Marquis, we want to try it too!" The four concubines in spring, summer, autumn and winter and a group of young maids also tiptoed around and begged softly.
"Come on, try it..."
Chen Xu used his fingers to do some again. The four concubines in spring, summer, autumn and winter and a group of little maids all sucked and licked each other with his fingers. Under the soft and warm package, Chen Xu slapped seven or eight consecutive swings, and felt that the hot breath became much cooler in an instant, as if a trace of irritability in his heart had also disappeared.
"Brother Xiaoxu, I want to eat whatever you are stealing!" Yu Ji was awakened and sat up lazily asked.
"I want to eat too~~" Chen Xi, who was still talking in her sleep, rubbed her eyes and shouted.
As if eating this word has great magic power, Meng Wan and Ying Shiman, who had just slept quietly, opened her eyes and sat up almost at the same time.
"Get warm water and a teacup for the teacup. I'll make the candy water for everyone!" Chen Xu quickly ordered a few little maids to find tableware.
Soon, a chef from Wuhuyuan brought warm water and a teacup spoon with his maid. Chen Xu personally made a cup of brown sugar water for each person.
"Wow, is this really sugar? It's so sweet and delicious!" Yu Ji was very surprised after tasting it.
"It's so sweet and delicious. Xi'er can drink a big pot..." Chen Xi also expressed her opinion.
"Husband, is this really made of sugar cane? It looks so strange. It's all of this red sugar powder..." Meng Wan drank the sugar water while carefully watching the brown sugar in the can.
"It should be no mistake. The sweetness is really similar to the sugarcane we ate in Changsha a few days ago, but did you say that the sugar should be Bing Jieruoxue?" Ying Shiman was also full of curiosity.
Two years ago, my family had learned about sugarcane in the south, and they also learned that Chen Xu had arranged for people to go to Wuzhong and other places to find places to grow sugarcane and refine sugar sugar. On the way to Wuzhong, there were farmers who plant sugarcane all the way in the south, so they also used some as fruit snacks to enjoy. Therefore, everyone is no stranger to sugarcane, but they feel that the sugar made from sugarcane is magical, and it is a bit different from what Chen Xu said at the beginning.
"The sugar process is a little more troublesome, but it looks good. It is not as sweet as brown sugar or nutritious as brown sugar. To be honest, brown sugar water has the effect of beautifying the skin. The most important thing is that when my aunt comes, I drink hot brown sugar water to relieve pain..." Chen Xu leaned close to Ying Shiman's ear with a mysterious face and whispered.
"Really, my husband didn't lie to me?" Ying Shiman exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, how could my husband lie to you!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile.
"That's great!" Ying Shiman happily hugged a can of brown sugar in her arms.
"Sister, what did you say to you? Such a surprise?" Meng Wan looked at Ying Shiman curiously.
"My husband said brown sugar..." Ying Shiman's cheeks blushed and leaned into Meng Wan's ear and muttered a few words.
"Wow, so magical, my husband, I want a can too!" Meng Wan immediately stopped and hugged Chen Xu's arm and began to shake.
"Mo Shake Mo Shake, the sugar water is sprinkled out. Don't worry, I have ordered the sugar factory to make more products recently. You can take them back to Xianyang and send some to His Majesty and the concubines and ladies in the palace. Although the output is not high this year, the sugar cane planting area is quite large. I think it's okay to make it seven or eight thousand kilograms, but it will not be available in large quantities until winter begins. However, although brown sugar water relieves pain, it is best to boil water with ginger to make it better..."
I don’t know who invented the treatment of dysmenorrhea with ginger juice, but it seems to be effective. Chen Xu’s girlfriend had this problem before traveling through time. Her aunt’s hands and feet were cold as soon as she came, and she felt so painful that she couldn’t walk. Every time Chen Xu would make her a glass of brown sugar water with ginger juice. However, that kind of sugar was made of cube sugar, two pieces at a time. The effect seemed to be more obvious after drinking it. Chen Xu sang it, but it was not very sweet at all.
However, when Chen Xu thought of the square sugar, he had some ideas. Brown sugar doesn't matter. Such a sweet good thing can naturally be improved in shape and packaging, so as not to make the brown sugar into a bulk variety like salt. This brown sugar only needs to be pressed and molded after precipitation and filtered, and then cut into cubes with a cutter after drying. This way, even packaging is easy to pack and store and transport, and sales are simple. Customers can cut as much as they buy, and they can even develop more refined sugar cube packaging to leave the factory, which can also increase more varieties and income in the sugar factory.
"Brother Xiaoxu, where is the sugar factory? Take us to see if it's good!" After drinking the brown sugar water, Yu Ji ran over and begged Chen Xu.
"Yes, my husband, we'll visit the sugar factory tomorrow. We want to see how this sugar is made..."
Meng Wanying Shiman, Shui Qingrou and other women were all interested and gathered around.
"Don't go. It's seven or eight miles outside the city, and there is no road. It's so hot that I almost breathless when I go there. I encountered several big snakes on the way, and were bitten by mosquitoes. Look..." Chen Xu shook his legs out, and indeed the red bumps were everywhere on his calves.
"Then...then I'll still not go..." Ying Shiman was the first to give up.
"I'm most afraid of mosquitoes!" Meng Wan also shook her head quickly.
"Qiuxiang go and bring the flower dew water!" Shui Qingrou sat down and gave instructions. After Qiuxiang handed over the flower dew water, she helped Chen Xu gently apply the mosquito bag on her legs. Finally, she told her heartache, "Every time she goes out, my husband advises us to wear long skirts to cover the mosquitoes. Why do you need to wear shorts?"
"I don't know that the sugar factory is so far away..." Chen Xu smiled bitterly, but he felt relieved. Damn the brown sugar is delicious, but the sugar factory really can't watch it. Just like many restaurants, delicious food does not mean that the kitchen is clean and hygienic.
The sugar factory is surrounded by wilderness and the local farmers are hired. In this era when eating enough is definitely a happy life, hygiene is really too high for ordinary people.
The minimum hygiene habit of washing hands before and after meals may only be done by senior servants in Chen Xu's mansion in the country. The maid and chef in the backyard of the Qinghe Hou Mansion must comply with this regulation, otherwise they will be punished by Chen Xu. The men's push-ups and women's spanking have gradually become a habit over the years, but it is hard to say that ordinary servants in the outer courtyard are. Going to eat after work or after shit or pee is just like a common thing. Even if the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion sees it, he will scold him a few times. Sometimes these leaders themselves do not abide by the hygiene rules and wash their hands... It is really troublesome. Although there are tap water and faucets, it is still troublesome. The hands with the smell of soil and pee are more delicious. Eating food is more delicious...
So, in the world, except for Chen Xu's family, even the emperor might not be able to wash his hands before and after meals.
For the civilians in the south who were once known as the wild land of Yiyue, what the hell is washing their hands before and after meals? We never wipe our butts when we shit, and we rinse the rivers and ponds with water to rinse them all over...
So after the sugar factory today, Chen Xu felt that he should not take a group of wives, concubines and daughters to visit, and he pretended that the sugar was clean.
If you eat it, you won’t get sick.
Some things will die quickly if you are too serious.
Therefore, it is better to live a Buddhist life at present
Besides, the sugar making process is simple, and there are only three or four steps in total. The workmanship is a group of rough-armed men, and there is really nothing good to look at.
