Chapter 320 Li Yu's Plan
Hua Meier and Tao Xiying looked at each other, and the former spoke, "Your Highness, have you said that I have already said that we are here to relax. Moreover, I haven't seen you for a long time and miss you very much."
I believe you!
Li Yu didn't believe Hua Mei'er's words.
His eyes fell on Tao Xiying's face and asked, "Miss Tao, let's talk about it!"
Tao Xiying was silent for a moment and said, "I'm very curious about how Your Highness planted sugarcane and how he used sugarcane to squeeze sugar!"
Unexpectedly, Tao Xiying would explain the purpose of the trip so frankly, and the expression on Hua Mei'er's face was somewhat surprised.
Li Yu thought about it and suddenly asked, "But the previous dynasty's rebel party had no money?"
His words almost made Hua Mei'er choke by her saliva, and she couldn't help but cough.
Li Yu patted her back helplessly and said, "Is it a child? You can still choke if you swallow your mouth and saliva!"
Then, he looked at Tao Xiying again and said, "Miss Tao, don't forget how he promised me and Duke Zhen to do so!"
You said that you will withdraw from the rebel party organization and no longer have any connection with the rebel party, and will no longer assist the rebel party and fight against the court.
Tao Xiying lowered her head slightly and whispered: "I promised that I would never help my son in the previous dynasty and oppose the court."
Li Yu said bluntly: "So, do you think that teaching the traitor how to plant sugarcane and how to squeeze sugar so that the traitor can make a fortune from it. Isn't this against the court?"
Tao Xiying didn't say anything anymore.
Li Yu's tone was calm, but his eyes gradually became deeper, and he said, "You are coming to Pyeongchang County to relax. I welcome you. If you come to Pyeongchang County to cause trouble and want to secretly help the rebel party, I will never agree."
Speaking of this, Li Yu's face also darkened and he said word by word: "The current Zhou Kingdom is full of internal and external troubles..."
Outside the Zhou Kingdom, there was a threat of force from the powerful enemy of the Xifan people in the northwest, and there were eyeing the tribes of Xiaoyang in the southwest.
The Zhou State was also in a critical period of power change.
In this case, if the rebel party still causes trouble in secret and causes trouble everywhere, the world will be in chaos.
Li Yu continued: "If you rebel, you will still cause trouble, even if you are me, you will not tolerate it anymore! I will meet one and kill one, no matter who he is! Miss Tao, do you understand what I said?"
Tao Xiying looked at Li Yu and could clearly feel his changes.
Li Yu's appearance has not changed much, but his aura and momentum are very different from before.
Now he has the majesty of a superior, with an aggressive attitude that is not angry.
Tao Xiying looked at him for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing and said, "I understand what Your Highness said. However, Your Highness can rest assured that what I said and promised me would not change. This time I went to Pyeongchang County with my sister, one for the sake of fun, and the other was indeed quite curious about how Your Highness planted sugarcane and how to make sugar."
Looking at her open eyes, Li Yu's expression calmed down a little.
He asked slowly, "Does Miss Tao want to visit?"
"certainly!"
"Okay, tomorrow, I will take you around and let you open your eyes too!" As he said, Li Yu's face showed the frivolity and complacent look of a young man.
The next morning, Li Yu was the guide, and took Ji Yanyan, Li Yuan, Tao Xiying and Hua Meier to visit the sugarcane planted outside the city.
After a close look, Tao Xiying and Hua Meier realized that the reason why sugarcane grows so fast is not because of its characteristics, but because it relies entirely on a large number of wood and water warlocks to ripen it with magic.
If you plant this way, you can basically ripen one crop of sugarcane in about half a month. After one month, you can harvest two crops of sugarcane, which can be said to have a huge yield.
Afterwards, Li Yu took everyone back to the city and visited the sugar factory.
The sugar manufacturing factory is now becoming more and more perfect.
The main structure of the sugar press developed by Ruqi is no longer a wooden stake, but is replaced by two thick stone pillars.
When the two stone pillars rotate, the pressure on the sugarcane is stronger. You can squeeze more than a dozen sugarcane at the same time at a time, and the juice is squeezed out.
Watching the workers pushing the sugarcane into the sugar press, juice flowing out like running water, even the knowledgeable Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan couldn't help but be amazed.
Tao Xiying and Hua Mei'er were even more stunned and shocked.
Unexpectedly, it is so simple and efficient to squeeze sugar water from sugar cane!
Ji Yanyan walked to a sugar press, looked carefully, and after a while, he could barely see how it worked.
She turned around and said to Li Yu: "Seventeenth brother, you must protect these sugar presses, especially to take good care of the workers working here, so that they can't spread the sugar presses!"
Li Yu shrugged and smiled, saying, "The fifteenth princess is too worried. The sugar press seems simple, but in fact there are many fine parts inside. Just looking at it, it cannot be imitated."
A sugar press, although the main structure is two long and thick stone pillars, it does not seem to have much technical content.
However, its internal parts are as many as hundreds, and no less than one can make the sugar press run.
If others want to imitate, they must get the drawings of all parts.
And these drawings are now in Li Yu's space, and no one can get them except himself.
Now, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan finally understood why Li Yu was not afraid of spreading sugarcane planting.
Others can plant sugarcane, but after they plant sugarcane, they can't deal with it at all.
It is too difficult to squeeze sugar cane out of sugar juice by relying solely on human handicrafts. It also requires a lot of manpower.
But Li Yu is different here. He transported a large number of sugarcane in and could squeeze them all in just a short while.
Therefore, even if sugarcane planting is promoted, people plant large quantities of sugarcane, most of them can only be sent to Li Yu.
Selling the planted sugarcane directly to Li Yu is easier than juicing sugarcane yourself and making money faster. Why not do it?
Li Yu does not strictly conserve the sugarcane planting technology, but the technology of sugar press is strictly confidential.
Only two people in the world know the entire structure of the sugar press and the manufacturing process.
One is Li Yu and the other is Ruqi.
After visiting the sugar factory, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan said: "Seventeenth brother, we plan to transplant sugarcane to Xingzhou and Zhengzhou. However, after the sugarcane grows, we don't know how long it will be stored. If it is transported to Pingchang County, will it rot on the road?"
Li Yu said: "If the sugarcane is not peeled, it will not be a problem to keep for two or three months!"
Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
In this way, they can grow sugarcane themselves and then transport it to Pyeongchang County and sell it to Li Yu for sugar pressing.
Tao Xiying interrupted: "The yield of sugarcane is not small, and it will be very difficult to transport it. Why doesn't Your Highness open this sugar-pressing factory directly in Xingzhou and Zhengzhou? This saves the time and financial resources spent on transportation."
Ji Yanyan's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She couldn't help but praise: "Xiying is worthy of being the daughter of Duke Zhenguo. She has a quick mind and is comparable to ordinary women!"
