Chapter 103 The light rain in March is as expensive as oil
"Your Highness... Xue Ding is back..."
Just as Ang Lee was thinking about sugar, Zhang Hu suddenly walked in. Just now, Zhang Hu was happy to say that Xue Ding was back. When he saw Zhang Lin, Zhang Sen and others were actually playing, his face changed and roared: "You monkeys, I asked you to practice martial arts while protecting Your Highness. Who made you play?
I think you are all itchy, unable to study, and not practicing hard. When you get older, you will not be able to marry your wife."
Zhang Hu's face turned cold, it was really scary. This roar almost scared Zhang Lin, Zhang Sen and others' souls. After the roar, the four of them immediately went to stance obediently.
Seeing the four of them stole their horses, Zhang Hu then slightly put away his cold face.
"Let Uncle Xue come in quickly..." Ang Lee laughed.
He followed Zhang Hu and then walked out. After a while, Xue Ding and Zhang Hu came in. Seeing Xue Ding, Ang Lee immediately asked, "Uncle Xue... Have you bought sugarcane?"
Xue Ding nodded repeatedly and smiled, "I bought it, but the price is expensive enough, and the amount is not very large."
"What price, how much did you buy?" Ang Lee asked.
"I bought a total of 10,000 kilograms, a kilogram of 30 cents, and I spent about 3,000 kilograms...!" After saying that, Xue Ding felt a little distressed. He was very persuading to the person who sold sugarcane, but the other party refused to give in. For the current Dazhou, the sugarcane planting range is not very large, so the price is naturally a bit inflated.
And it's still winter now, so the price is naturally more expensive.
The reason why Dialogue insisted on three hundred words is that only his family has it, and basically no other family has it. This is the other party's confidence. If Ang Lee had to buy it, to be honest, Xue Ding himself might not have bought it.
Just when Xue Ding felt distressed, Ang Lee began to make up. Generally, the sugar yield rate of using the yellow mud water pouring method is still very high, about 20%, which means that 10,000 kilograms of sugar can produce at least 2,000 kilograms of white sugar.
Ang Lee sells two thousand pounds of sugar for five pounds per pound, and two thousand pounds is ten thousand pounds. A profit of seven thousand pounds is very high. And now Ang Lee and his friends buy sugarcane from the most expensive period. If Ang Lee can sell sugarcane well, then Ang Lee can buy some land in the suburbs of Luoyang, specifically for growing sugarcane. In this way, the cost will be greatly reduced.
Thinking of this, Ang Lee laughed and said, "Let's go... to Zhenjia Village..."
....................................
The Zhenjia Village in January was dilapidated, dirty and uneventful... But the Zhenjia Village in February is now completely changed.
The village roads were swept cleanly, and each village road was tamped with big stones. Even if it rained, the village roads would not be muddy. All the houses were repaired, and flowers were planted at the door of every house for decoration.
After Ang Lee's carriage entered Zhenjia Village, almost the villagers who saw the carriage bowed naturally, which was to express their highest respect for Ang Lee, because Ang Lee made Zhenjia Village no longer hunger and gave Zhenjia Village warmth.
Seeing someone bowing to him, Ang Lee quickly opened the curtain of the carriage and waved his hands repeatedly. In terms of politeness, Ang Lee was very careful.
"See Your Highness...!"
After Ang Lee arrived next to the newly built workshop, Zhen Geng and others had been waiting here for a long time.
After getting off the carriage, Ang Lee smiled and said, "This time, Uncle Zhen and Uncle Xue have worked hard. They have bought so much sugarcane and come back...!" After getting off the carriage, Ang Lee saw the sugarcane that had been packed in the workshop for 10,000 kilograms.
When he walked into the workshop, Ang Lee picked one, then bit it and chewed it a few times. Ang Lee smiled and said, "It's so sweet. I believe that such sugar cane will definitely make us refined the best sugar."
"Yes..." Ang Lee was happy, and the others were also happy.
Following Ang Lee, he came to Zhen Geng and asked, "I have told you all the steps of sugar making. Starting tonight, you will do the sugar making for me. Sugar making is our future path to make money, so it must be completed well and there is no need to lose."
"Please rest assured by your highness... I will definitely keep an eye on the whole process myself and will definitely not disappoint you." Zhen Geng said affirming without hesitation.
"Okay..." Li An smiled slightly, then smoked some sugar cane in his hand and said, "Come on... give some to the children in the village..."
"Uh..." Zhen Geng said in a slight moment: "Thirty cents per pound..."
Ang Lee smiled dismissively and said, "Taste something fresh... I don't even eat too much, just eat one festival for each person... When our candy is made, we will live a better life...!"
"Thank you, Your Highness...!" Everyone smiled happily.
....................................
Just as Ang Lee was busy with his second pot of gold, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were officially going to start their plan, which was the plan to keep Li Dan dead and not be buried.
Wei Tuaner is already great and can report it. When Wei Tuaner is resting, Wu Chengsi went to hook up with Lai Junchen, and Lai Junchen also intends to surrender, and the two hit it off.
Originally, Wu Chengsi had his own people, Zhou Xing was the one, but unfortunately, Zhou Xing offended Ang Lee, and Ang Lee's favor was really high. Now Wu Zetian has ignored Zhou Xing.
Wu Chengsi had no choice but to find Lai Junchen. Who knew that Lai Junchen was also looking for his backer in the future. Wu Zetian was seventy years old, but who knew when Wu Zetian was not here?
Lai Junchen had killed many Li family members, so Lai Junchen had no better backing except Wu Chengsi. If Wu Chengsi became emperor, Lai Junchen could still survive. If other Li family members were replaced, Lai Junchen would die.
So as soon as Wu Chengsi showed his intention to make trouble, Lai Junchen fell over.
With the right time, place and people, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi decided to start their plan directly after Wu Zetian finished farming. This time they must kill Li Dan. As long as Li Dan dies, the position of the crown prince will be much clearer.
To be honest, these two people, especially Wu Chengsi, were crazy about being the crown prince. However, the plan between the two of them was impeccable, but the only thing they got wrong was life.
They chose to wait until Wu Zetian personally cultivated the plan for the two of them. Their time was wrong, so they directly chose the two old friends to meet each other, Ang Lee and Li Chengqi...
You said...will Ang Lee stand by and watch when he learns that Li Chengqi is going to be slaughtered?
So even though Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi's plans were perfect, they never expected that Ang Lee would be an extremely unstable and uneasy factor. Of course, Ang Lee did not expect that he would face the Wu brothers this time.
"Oh...!" On the way back to Li's mansion, Ang Lee pulled the curtain and saw that it was raining outside. Zhang Lin, Zhang Sen and others were chewing sugarcane.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "March rain is as expensive as oil. If it were the rain in March...!"
