In the next period of time, Li Yu and Mi Rong cooperated with each other, one was responsible for the accelerated growth of sugarcane and the other was responsible for the nutrient replenishment of sugarcane.

Relatively speaking, Li Yu is much more relaxed.

Although he had to condense a lot of water every day and water the entire botanical garden countless times, Li Yu, who had reached the peak of the Xuan level and was innate, did not find it difficult.

On the contrary, Mi Rong, whose cultivation level has reached the heaven level, can only be born for about one hour a day, and his spiritual energy has been consumed to a very small amount.

However, Mi Rong didn't feel bored. Instead, he found a confidant from Li Yu, Lu Fang.

Mi Rong and Lu Fang can be said to have hit it off at first sight.

Although he is not a Taoist, he is proficient in alchemy techniques, and Lu Fang is even more a master of alchemy. The two of them have many common languages ​​together.

Lu Fang also often invited Mi Rong to his alchemy room to discuss his experience and experience in alchemy with him.

A few days later, Cao Ren, the governor of the state, sent more than a dozen wood sorcerers. A few days later, Princess Xing and King Zheng also sent more than a dozen wood sorcerers.

At this time, there were more than 20 wood-type warlocks in Li Yu's hands. With the increase in manpower, the efficiency of ripening sugarcane in the plantation has also greatly improved.

One month after Mi Rong arrived in Pyeongchang City, all the sugarcane in the plantation grew.

Each sugarcane is about three meters high. Looking around, the sugarcane in the entire plantation is densely packed and vast.

Li Yu personally led the people to pick sugarcane.

All the parts that can be made into seeds are cut off and stored. The parts that cannot be made into seeds are used to squeeze sugar.

In order to facilitate the squeeze of sugar cane, Li Yu also specially asked Luci to make a sugar press.

The main component of this sugar press is two long and thick wooden stakes, arranged side by side. When turning the rocker, the two wooden stakes can rotate together.

At this time, as long as someone places sugarcane between two wooden stakes and pushes forward with force, the sugarcane will be squeezed by the two rotating wooden stakes, thereby flowing out the juice.

Follow the sugar press with a large basin and then put the full juice in a large pot and boil it. Use distillation to remove the moisture, and the boiled out is a viscous syrup.

Pour it into containers of various shapes and wait until it is air-dried to get sugar cubes of various shapes.

Li Yu's plantation has most of the land, and the total sugarcane produced is 500 stones. If converted into kilograms, it is about 30,000 kilograms.

Remove the part that can be used as seeds, and the remaining one is 25,000 kilograms.

The 25,000 kilograms of sugar cane, the sugar water produced is as high as 15,000 kilograms, and the final sugar cubes are nearly 3,000 kilograms.

At that time, the sugar price on the market was better, and it sold for 60 cents every twelve.

The purity of sucrose is much higher than that of sugar on the market.

Even if you sell it for one or sixty cents, you can sell it for nearly three million cents of sugar for 3,000 kilograms of sugar.

For ordinary people, three million cents are undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

But for Li Yu, who was going to form a 50,000 border troops in Pyeongchang County, this little money was just a drop in the bucket.

Based on a 50,000 troops, it is not counted as military rations or military losses. Just counting the monthly military pay, it will cost 100 million yuan to go up.

Therefore, if you want to maintain an army, either you are rich enough to compete with a country, or only the court can do it.

Fortunately, it is just a test field of Li Yu, so the sugar produced is produced in this way. In the future, the income will definitely double.

Li Yu sent someone to give the prepared candy cubes to Princess Zheng, King Zheng, and Cao Ren, so that those who have helped him a lot can also try them out.

By the way, let them continue to recruit wood warlocks for themselves, and in addition, they need to recruit some water warlocks.

The scale of sugarcane planting will definitely be expanded in the future. It will definitely not work for him to condense water by himself. There will still be a group of water warlocks to help him share the burden.

Two days later, Li Yu chose a piece of land outside the city to build a manor, which was specially used to grow sugarcane.

Li Yu appointed Mi Rong as the person in charge and fully manages the cultivation of sugarcane.

Not long after, Princess Xing, King Zheng, and Cao Ren sent a large number of wood and water sorcerers to Li Yu.

The number of warlocks they sent this time was much more than the last time.

Moreover, Princess Xing and King Zheng both proposed to buy a batch of sugar from Li Yu.

Princess Xing and King Zheng were shocked after eating the candy cubes sent by Li Yu.

They didn't know how Li Yu made these candy pieces, but they tasted sweeter than the sugar they had eaten before, but not only sweeter, but also had a little fragrance and endless aftertaste.

King Zheng was the first to realize the business opportunities.

He wrote a letter to Princess Xing. If Seventeen had a lot of these candy pieces in their hands, they would buy some and sell them, and they would definitely make a big profit from it.

Princess Xing felt it was reasonable.

In this way, the two of them asked Li Yu to buy sugar.

Li Yu originally planned to sell the sugar in his hand for one or one taels of 60 cents, but since his fifteenth sister-in-law and sixteenth brother were going to buy it, he naturally couldn't sell it at such a "high price".

So they sold them to each of them for 1,000 kilograms at a price of 1,000 cents.

After Li Yu sent sugar to Princess Xing and King Zheng, he immediately received the money sent by them, each of which was 240,000 yuan.

But less than a month later, Li Yu received another 240,000 yuan from each of them.

Li Yu was very puzzled. After reading the letters from Princess Xing and King Zheng, Li Yu understood what was going on.

It turned out that both of them were taking out for takeout at 100 to 120 cents per 20 cents. Even at such a high price, sugar is still very popular and in short supply.

One of them was Li Yu's brother and sister-in-law, and the other was Li Yu's biological brother. They didn't want to take advantage of him. Knowing that Li Yu was in Liangzhou, he sold candy at a price of 200,000 yuan, so they each made up for Li Yu's 240,000 yuan.

At the end of the letter, the two of them proposed that they wanted to continue to buy the sugar in Li Yu's hands, and they would like to buy as much as possible.

Liangzhou is located in a remote location and its economy is relatively backward. Not many people can afford the candy cubes of 60 cents or liang.

But Princess Xing and King Zheng both lived in the Central Plains. The fiefdom was well-developed and the people were rich. Even if they were to take out for one or one hundred and twenty cents, ordinary people could grit their teeth and buy one or two taels every month to make a tooth sacrifice.

With the strong help of Princess Xing and King Zheng, two "regional distributors", Li Yu's shipment problem was immediately solved.

Now, he no longer has to consider the sales of sucrose, but only needs to consider how to increase sucrose production.

Li Yu took the farm he built outside the city as the center and kept enclosing land outside and planting sugarcane.

The people in Pyeongchang City and even the surrounding areas have either migrated with their families or died under the swords of the barbarians.

At present, a large area of ​​land has been abandoned and turned into a homeless land. This makes it cheaper for Li Yu.

Li Yu made the distribution of sugarcane soar, and Mi Rong, who was responsible for sugarcane planting, was not idle either.

He divided the wood-type warlock and the water-type warlock into many groups.

A group with strong abilities is responsible for inducing production of two or three acres of land, and a group with weaker abilities is responsible for inducing production of one or a few acres of land.

At Li Yu's suggestion, Mi Rong also created performance. The higher the output, the more salary the group received per month.
