Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 403 Season, Candidates

"sucrose?!"

Shu An in the courtyard of Shu Mansion murmured softly, compared to gray sugar, the purity of sucrose is much higher, although it is not as good as white sugar, but it is close to it, and it appears light yellow.

If it has been purified and processed, it can be said to be close to white sugar. It is currently impossible to achieve pure white, but it is enough for this era.

"sugar cane!"

But if it started with sucrose, Shu An soon thought of another thing, which was the raw material.

But at this time, Shu An's expression was full of smiles, because there was one place that was really a good place, and that was Lingnan.

If there is the most sugarcane, it must be Lingnan, where the climate is really suitable for sugarcane cultivation.

"It seems that this time I will deal with Feng An again."

Shu An murmured softly, knowing the food incident last time would benefit this Feng Zhuguo a lot.

If Shu An hadn't bought it, Feng An wouldn't have dared to go out of Lingnan to sell grain.

Could it be that he doesn't know the business opportunities? This is simply impossible, but if he sells grain, he is destined to conflict with the rice merchants behind him.

And these rice merchants are the aristocratic clans behind the localities, and it can be said that a single hair will affect the whole body.

Not to mention that Feng An was almost considered rebellious at the beginning. If he sold grain, he was afraid that he would not die fast enough.

Although the use of food has given Lingnan a big sigh of relief, but that's all. We must know that most of Lingnan is still mountain people.

Food alone is not enough to satisfy these mountain people, but a lot of meat is needed.

If you rely on yourself, it is definitely not enough, so you need money to buy it. It is for this reason that Lingnan has always been self-sufficient.

There are even a lot of gaps, in other words, it is poor, if there is a business.

Then presumably Feng An should be able to jump up, and of course the profit of this business should not be small.

For the time being, Shu An doesn't plan to take it out yet. You must know that the Shu Mansion is still in debt, so you can't expect too much from Li Shimin.

This requires a source of business, so Shu'an is going to hold back the sugar business for the time being.

"We still need to send someone to Lingnan to negotiate."

Soon Shu An had an idea, but along with it came a new problem.

Although Shu An's subordinates are all there, it seems that none of them are very good, such as Shu Kuangshi and others who have just returned. These people have just returned to Chang'an not long ago.

It doesn't seem good if they are sent out again, not to mention that Shu An has already asked Laifu to match these people, but he has not forgotten to let Shu Kuangshi and others get married.

As for the words of Shu Kuanghu and others, they seem to be a little helpless. It is said that many of their wives are already pregnant.

After all, they have been married for a long time, so it should be about the same. After thinking of this, Shu An also felt a little embarrassed.

The journey to Lingnan is far away, and it will take several months to go back and forth. If it is reasonable to delay these people, even Shu An will feel a little helpless in his heart.

After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help but shook his head. This matter must be done as soon as possible. The reason is very simple, that is, it is the season of sugarcane.

Generally, it is from October of last year to March and April of the next year. During this period, if the candidates are finalized now, a batch of sucrose can still be produced.

And you can also discuss with Feng An to let them plant sugarcane on a large scale in Lingnan, so that it can be harvested in October.

"Laifu, what do you think of this matter?"

In the end, Shu An's eyes fell on the housekeeper of the Shu Mansion beside him and said, of course, he also made this matter very clear.

Laifu couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, as if he didn't expect the master to hand over this difficult problem to himself.

It's just that it is indeed as the master thought, it would be a pity if this time point is missed, and it will have to wait until the end of the year.

"Master, it's better to leave this matter to them to decide."

In the end, Lai Fu smiled wryly and said, anyway, as far as Lingnan is concerned, some of the guards of the Shu Mansion have also been there, and it is still in the Tang Dynasty.

It would not be like Tianzhu. After all, it was really difficult for Tianzhu to arrange it before. After all, it is not known how Wang Xuance's mansion will return.

Naturally, I don't know how to wait. On the contrary, Lingnan is different. It can be taken care of by others without any crisis.

At most, I would meet some little thieves and robbers on the road, but unfortunately this is the guard of the Shu Mansion, who has learned martial arts for more than ten or even twenty years.

Those little thieves are just looking for death when they meet. Under such circumstances, in fact, anyone can go.

Hearing Lai Fu talk about his thoughts, Shu An nodded, because this seemed to be the best way.

Shu An still handed over this matter to Laifu, and gave him three days. If he had more time, he might not be able to catch up.

Of course, other preparations must be made, such as hiring craftsmen, after all, no one in Shu Mansion knows how to make sugar.

"If the sugarcane is about to pass the time, then it should be frozen first."

Shu An also did not forget to explain, although the quality of the sugar produced may be affected due to the freezing.

But don't forget that in this era, there is no concept of expiration or non-expiration. There are only two choices: whether you can eat or not, and food cannot be wasted.

"Yes, sir!"

Laifu also did not hesitate to speak out, and immediately turned and left.

The choice is Shu Kuanghu, who followed Shu An to Chang'an earlier, and some of them have been to Lingnan, which is undoubtedly the best choice.

Although the night was about to fall completely, Lai Fu didn't care, knowing that Shu Kuanghu and the others lived in a farm on the outskirts of Chang'an.

"Compared to the desertedness of Shu Mansion, the countryside is much more lively."

Shu An looked at Lai Fu's leaving figure and murmured softly, saying that he likes the atmosphere of the countryside.

It's a pity that there must be a lot of people visiting Shu's mansion these few days, even Shu An can't leave Chang'an.

After thinking of this, Shu An shook his head, and before he knew it, it was time for dinner again.

Tonight's talk is not as lively as before, after all, today is not as lively as two days.

It seemed that Sun Simiao, an old friend, was the only one who accompanied him, but even in the Shu Mansion, this friend seemed not to let go of the medical books.

Occasionally, Shu Anla would even take a look to check if there was anything wrong with the previous writing.

"Being able to become the king of medicine is no fluke."

In the end, Shu An couldn't help but sighed, Sun Simiao has been very busy in the past six months, but unfortunately without those students, he can only continue to collect data by himself.
