The horse hooves sounded crisply on the long street, and Jiang Anyi lazily rose and fell along with the horse's back. Yan'er's affairs made him feel very troubled. At this moment, he just wanted to be quiet for a while and ignore the complicated world.

Guo Huaili held it in for a long time, and when he saw Jiang Anyi not answering him, he couldn't help saying, "Xiao Jiang, brother, let me tell you, otherwise I will not be able to sleep at night."

"Last year, honey fruits were sold well, and the price of honey rose sharply. I asked about it a few days ago, and guess how much did it have risen?"

Jiang Anyi casually said: "How many?"

"One thousand two hundred people per pound."

This number surprised Jiang Anyi. Before the appearance of honey fruit, the price of honey was only 120 to 30 cents. Now it has increased ten times. How many honey fruits can be made? No one can afford them. Wouldn't the hopeful fruit farmer lose all of them?

"Brother Guo, what agreement did you sign with the fruit farmer just now? What's going on?"

In front of the government office is the back door. Guo Huaili talked deeply and said with a smile: "My brother and sister are now pregnant and I guess they sleep in separate rooms with you. I will stay at your house for a night tonight and talk to you in detail."

Guo Huaili really didn't treat himself as an outsider. He came to the study and told the girl, "Make a pot of your master's good tea, and then light it any fragrance. By the way, make a charcoal basin. It's cold, and you have any food at home. I'm hungry again after walking the road."

Jiang Anyi patted Guo Huaili's legs on the chair and said angrily: "Brother Guo, if you have a seat, don't shake your legs."

The little girl followed the instructions and placed the snacks like flowing water, brewed tea, and then she left the study for Jiang Anyi and Guo Huaili.

Guo Huaili took a sesame pancake and bit it, shook his head and said, "It's trendy." He picked up another piece of date paste and bit it, and sighed, "How come Caiyezhai things have changed when they arrived in Huazhou, but they still tasted good in Xinqi County. Xiaojiang, do you still remember that I had a break from school and I like to take you to Caiyezhai to buy pastries. The date paste I ate at that time was fragrant, and this one seemed to be a little bit bad."

Jiang Anyi also picked up a piece of date paste and savored it slowly in his mouth, savoring the time of the year, and said with a smile: "At that time, I couldn't even eat enough. Brother Guo was able to eat a piece of date paste paste, which was a delicious food in the world. I remember to take a small bite and put it in my arms and take it home for An Yong and Yan'er to taste it. Alas, Yan'er is really sad."

Seeing that Jiang Anyi's mood was depressed again, Guo Huaili hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiang, didn't you ask me where the honey comes from? Let me tell you, the Miao village in Qianzhou."

"Miao Village", Jiang Anyi was stunned and said, "I haven't heard that Miao Village produces honey. Even if there is a quantity, it is limited. Qianzhou is more than 4,000 miles away from here. The road is not smooth. Even if the honey is transported to Huazhou, it may be a sky-high price."

Guo Huaili shook his feet proudly and signaled Jiang Anyi to pour tea for him. Jiang Anyi knew that this was the way Brother Guo wanted to show his usual gesture. He smiled and reached out to pour tea, and handed it to Guo Huaili respectfully. Guo Huaili drank a sip of water with satisfaction, shook his head and said, "You can teach me."

"Any, Qianzhou produces cane, and the cane produces malt sugar. My idea is the sugar produced in Qianzhou."

When Jiang Anyi heard this, he was relieved. Several states in southern Zheng produced sugarcane, especially Qianzhou, with a thick stem with a high taste and sweet taste. The method of using cane to make sugar was found in the Warring States Period. It has been passed down for more than 600 years. There are many kinds of brown sugar, malt sugar, and ding ding sugar on the market. Yan'er likes to chew ding ding sugar the most. Last year, honey made honey fruits and honey were out of stock, and many people mixed brown sugar into honey water. Although

It can also be kept undestructed, but the color is black, which is far less than honey fruit made with honey mixed with honey. However, the amount of brown sugar is large, and it can only be bought for 40 cents compared to honey. It is usually regarded as a supplement for women during confinement.

Guo Huaili looked at Jiang Anyi with his eyes slanted and said, "Xiao Jiang, what kind of expression do you look down on sugar? Last year when I moved back to Texas, I met a sugar merchant in Jiangzhou. I happened to think about doing honey fruit business. Honey is scarce, can sugar be used instead. I asked him casually if there is any colored sugar. The sugar merchant was silly for a long time. When I saw that there was a chance, I invited him to drink. The man was half drunk and showed me a small bag of candy he carried with him, which was light yellow in color and shaped like ice crystals. The sugar merchant called it rock sugar."

"Rock sugar", Jiang Anyi asked: "How have you tasted it? Can it be colored in water?"

Guo Huaili smiled and said, "Sweet, you can hardly see the colors when melted in the water."

"How much does it cost?"

"Eight hundred folks per pound." Guo Huaili said.

The price of 800 citrus is not low, but it is 30% cheaper than honey. If rock sugar can be used instead of honey, honey fruits can make a profit of 300 citrus, and small profits can be sold faster. This transaction can be done. Huazhou fruit farmers don’t have to worry about sales, and Jiang Anyi’s face showed joy.

Guo Huaili's face turned gloomy. He drank all the tea water in the cup, and slapped the tea cup heavily, saying, "Xiaojiang, don't be happy too early. There are a lot of rock candy, but the method of making it comes from Miao Village. It may not be easy to purchase a large amount of rock candy."

Jiang Anyi's heart was sank. The Miao style was fierce and had different customs from the Zheng people. He exploited the Miao people in all dynasties. Fights broke out between Miao and Zheng often broke out between Miao and Zheng. The Miao people rebelled and oppressed and impermanent, which made the Central Plains court very cautious about the Miao village.

Zheng Chao established the country for more than 100 years and continued the control and isolation policy of the Great Wei Dynasty. Military camps were built around the Miao village. The Annan Protectorate sent tens of thousands of troops to guard the military camps, trying to trap the Miao people in the deep mountains. The Zheng people's materials entering the Miao village had to be investigated, and the production of the Miao village had to enter the Zheng area. There were many checkpoints. Rock candy came from the Miao village, so it was impossible to make a large-scale transaction on the surface.

Guo Huaili said: "I asked the sugar merchant carefully. He told me that he had escaped the military village and took out the Miao village. If he went to the border of the military village, he would have to pay heavy taxes even if he was not confiscated."

Jiang Anyi pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you bring this method of making rock sugar in Miao Village? If you can invite a master and ask him to make sugar outside the Miao Village."

Guo Huaili smiled bitterly and said, "I thought so too. The sugar merchant said that the method of making rock sugar is the secret method of Lingxiang Valley, and the method of making sugar is also highly confidential in Lingxiang Valley. The rock sugar he holds was purchased from a village around Lingxiang Valley. The sugar-making master lives in Lingxiang Valley. Ordinary people can't see it, let alone who it is?"

Lingxiang Valley, one of the top ten sects in the world, Jiang Anyi heard Xinfei introduce that Lingxiang Valley’s skills are strange and unpredictable, so he should be more careful when he encounters traveling in the world. The method of rock sugar involves Lingxiang Valley, and Jiang Anyi couldn’t help but retreat.

Sighing, Jiang Anyi said, "Brother Guo, this matter is very difficult, so let's make a long-term plan."

Guo Huaili was a little anxious. He signed many agreements with fruit farmers during this period and ordered a porcelain jar of 30,000 cans of honey fruit from the pottery factory in advance. If Jiang Anyi didn't help, wouldn't this business lose money?

"An Yi, I heard you have been betting against Tian Shaoqiu of Miao Village in Changlefang, Beijing. You are not talking about Senior Miao.

I have taken good care of you, and have you given a wooden sign?" Guo Huaili suddenly reminded.

"Yes, I'll put that wooden sign in the bookcase." Jiang Anyi said as he stood up, took out a black wooden sign from the box of the bookcase. The body was engraved with simple patterns and the character "field" was on the front.

Guo Huaili took the wooden sign and rubbed it in his hand, distinguishing the material. Jiang Anyi saw him like that and wanted to put it in his mouth and try it.

After a long time, Guo Huaili put the wooden sign on the table and said, "An Yi, don't you know that Tian Shaoqiu has a good reputation in Miao Village. He is praised by the Miao people as the Tong's Ling'an Ape. He is the junior brother of Zhuo Can, the owner of Lingxiang Valley. He came to Yongchang City alone more than ten years ago and bet with the casino in Beijing. In fact, he wanted to open up the situation for Miao Village in Beijing."

Jiang Anyi was a little surprised how Guo Huaili knew so well about martial arts affairs.

Tickling his head, Guo Huaili smiled embarrassedly and said, "An Yi, tell you the truth. The sugar merchant came to me two days ago and specifically talked to me about the rock sugar business. This sugar merchant represents Lingxiang Valley in Miao Village. He told me about Mr. Tian. He said he wanted to see you. Mr. Tian asked him to bring you a few words."

"Nonsense", Jiang Anyi scolded without hesitation: "It is a serious crime to collude with the Miao village in private. Brother Guo, you are too arrogant."

Guo Huaili curled his lips and said indifferently: "Xiao Jiang, what are you calling? I didn't ask you to betray Da Zheng, but I just let you meet this sugar merchant to see what he said? In the businessman, if you can learn how to make rock sugar, it will be another 'perfume' business. Let's talk about it first, whether it's OK or not."

Jiang Anyi shook his head repeatedly, Guo Huaili was not discouraged at all, and he was reluctant to make trouble. It happened that Xinfei brought people to deliver the midnight snack. Guo Huaili saw the reinforcements and asked Xinfei for help.

After hearing this, Xinfei smiled and said, "An Yi, you are too careful. Although the court guards against the Miao people, it did not say that you would not interact with the Miao village. Take the wooden signs given to Tian Shaoqiu. The emperor must have learned it, didn't he say anything? As long as you are upright and think about the country, the emperor will definitely hope to see the tax increase in Huazhou."

Seeing Jiang Anyi nodding, Guo Huaili sighed, "Oh, it's said that you forget your mother after marrying a wife. Anyi, you not only forget your mother, but even your brothers and friends. I said you just don't agree if you say you're fucking. You nodded straight when your brother and sister say something. Oh, people's hearts are not bitter, and the world is getting worse."

The next day, a carriage was parked at the back door of the government office. Guo Huaili got off the carriage with a man and hurried into the yard. In the study, Jiang Anyi saw this sugar merchant from Miaojiang. He was in his thirties, medium figure, good-looking, short bearded, dressed up by a businessman. When he saw Jiang Anyi, he bowed his fists and said, "Sun Li of Lingxianggu has met Lord Jiang."

Jiang Anyi asked him to sit down and the maid presented tea. Jiang Anyi asked, "Shis Sun, how are Mr. Tian?"

"I am worried about it because Mr. Tian is in good health. When I come to Huazhou this time, Mr. Tian asked me to say hello to him and ask me to go to Miao Village to play." Sun Licai smiled and responded with neither humility nor arrogant.

Sun Licai's eyes shone with his divine light and his energy condensed. He was obviously an internal master. He called Tian Shaoqiu the uncle of his master. I wonder if he was Zhuo Can's personal disciple. Lingxiang Valley is the amulet of the Miao Village. It was obvious that he came to find him not simply for the sake of rock candy. What's the matter with the Miao Village?
