The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 317 Development of Sugar Manufacturing

In fact, he has many coups to soothe the hearts of the soldiers, but the Great Wei was built on the ruins of the Great Han. Sweet potatoes can only solve the problem of food, but cannot solve the fact that other supplies are scarce.

To do things, you still have to go step by step.

"Let's make sugar out of it."

To make sugar, only sugar cane can be used now.

In fact, the most suitable material for making sugar is the beet root tuber after the selection of varieties in later generations.

However, Wei Wei still can't get that thing at present, because this thing not only grows in distant Europe, but the most important thing is that there is no suitable variety now. Although the current beets can indeed produce sugar, the tubers are too small. Production is severely limited.

Therefore, sugar cane can only be used to make sugar now.

However, the native sugarcane varieties produced in the south of the Great Wei Dynasty are naturally sweet and delicious, and can be eaten raw or squeezed into sugar water, so they are not suitable for making sugar.

The sugar cane that Zhengerbajing makes sugar is a variety from the Western Regions, called Dicane.

This kind of grass cane is small in size but hard in texture, which can easily hurt the mouth when eating, unlike native sugarcane, which can be chewed.

This variety is suitable for large-scale sugar production, and now that the Western Regions are in the hands of the Great Wei, it is very easy to bring back the variety.

The most important thing is that Xun You's nephew, Xun Shao, recently passed the scientific examination and awakened a supernatural power that can speed up the growth of the crops under his control!

This is simply the darling born at the right time, and it is precisely because of him that Zhao Feng finally chose to make sugar!

Soon after, Xun Shao was appointed governor of Yizhou and ordered him to immediately purchase a large amount of bamboo cane from the Western Regions.

Now through trade, Zhao Feng has accumulated a lot of money. The grass cane in the Western Regions can be seen everywhere, which is not a valuable thing, and the people in the Western Regions are very fond of the paper of the Great Wei. These also give Zhao Feng a significant income. , Naturally, there is no shortage of money.

Soon, Xun Shao bought a large amount of cane cane and ordered half of Yizhou to cultivate it.

With the examples of sweet potatoes and pig raising, people everywhere now pay great attention to and support the government's decrees!
In their eyes, it is not a government order to force them, but a clever trick to make them rich!

As a result, people from all over Yizhou scrambled to plant straw cane, and even some people in Liangzhou used the excuse of being close to Yizhou to raise pigs and grow straw cane at the same time!
Soon after the bamboo cane was planted in various places, Xun Shao's innate skills were mobilized.

Xun Shao's talent also violates the laws of nature, but he has to spend some of his life to realize it.

Now, in this state, if he harvested one day earlier, he would lose one year of life!

Once his talent activates the entire Yizhou, not only will the income from the sugarcane, but also the weeds will grow rapidly!
His lifespan is exhausted!

However, now that Zhao Feng has repeatedly issued major events to improve the national strength and national destiny, everyone in the country has increased their life expectancy by a thousand years, and Xun Shao naturally did the same. Therefore, this year's crop of grass canes, he dared to urge them to mature with his life!
So in Yizhou, the people planted the gravy cane the day before, and when they were sleeping at night, they heard the outside thumping, thumping, as if it was blown up. The next day, when they went out to have a look, they saw all the gravy cane in the field bursting out of the ground!

Moreover, those grass canes, in broad daylight, are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, crunching and rising, which is really strange.

Many people thought that they planted a lot of bamboo cane, but they planted a field of monsters.

A few days later, the dicanes were already ripe. Although Xun Shao felt tired, he felt full of anticipation!
"Come here, let me go to various places to buy straw cane! If the size is qualified, you can pay a penny for each!"

A piece of bamboo cane costs a copper coin. It seems very cheap, but in one mu of field, there can be more than [-] pieces of bamboo cane!

Ten mu of land is worth [-] yuan!
Because all the people in Yizhou have also lost their status as tenants after harvesting sweet potatoes year after year, and now no one has dozens of acres of land!
Therefore, this unified acquisition directly made the people of Yizhou rich!
Imagine, from sowing to harvesting, with Xun Shao's talent, it took only ten days!
And every household has harvested hundreds of thousands of dollars!
The rich families have a lot of fields, and many rich families even earn millions of dollars. An ordinary yard is only tens of thousands of dollars!

Even the house of a rich family is only a few hundred thousand dollars!

In other words, the common people in Yizhou earned a luxury villa in almost ten days.

This matter, whoever happened, who is not happy.

The people in Yizhou worshiped Zhao Feng so much that they wished they could hug Zhao Feng and kiss him.

It's a pity that Zhao Fengyuan was in the capital, and the people who were so excited that they were crazy, took money that was almost for nothing, and donated it to the government every household, and every household sent home-made delicacies, wanting Xun Shao to have a bite, and the people everywhere Like a pilgrimage, everyone is gathering here!

Xun Shao was shocked when he heard about it, and quickly sent people to appease and persuade the returnees. He climbed to a high place outside the mansion and shouted loudly: "Everyone! Thank you for your kindness! However, you If you have this time, why don’t you go back and plant bamboo cane again! Although I let everyone ripen the crops in a few days, I also lost hundreds of years of life because of this, and I can’t stand the second torment! Ladies and gentlemen, please work harder , I can live a few hundred years longer, this is the greatest reward for me!"

Only then did the people of Yizhou know that the imperial court not only gave them a huge amount of money, but even a senior official of the imperial court dedicated his life to make him rich!
"I am a citizen of Great Wei, and I hope that Your Majesty will live forever."

"I am a citizen of Great Wei, and I hope that Great Wei will prosper forever!"

Every one of the people in Yizhou has a great centripetal force for the imperial court. All the people in Yizhou, no one is nostalgic for the big man, and they all regard themselves as the people of the Great Wei.

From then on, he sincerely supported the emperor Zhao Feng and had better expectations for the future.

Zhao Feng in Xudu quickly received these feedbacks. The Luck Golden Dragon has grown exponentially all the way. It is so huge that it is as big as a county!

The lifespan of all the people of the Great Wei increased greatly again, and Xun Shao, the first hero, received an extra blessing of luck in the dark.

A large amount of grass cane was piled up in Yizhou, but the sugar making technology was originally owned by the Han Dynasty.

If there is any difference in today's sugar making, one is that some seasonings are added to make the sugar not only sweet, but also more fragrant.

The other, that is, sugar production was listed as a job in Yizhou Prefecture. The master craftsman in charge of sugar production was awarded the rank of seven officials. No rated.

Now in Yizhou, there are several sets of sugar making techniques. Several middle-aged experts have built carts for pressing out sugar juice, large vats for rinsing raw sugar, and large stoves for boiling sugar.

These people each have a basic output requirement. If the quality exceeds this requirement, if the quality meets the standard, they will receive additional rewards. Whether their grade can be improved is also directly related to this.

And the senior master of the seventh-rank official has become the quality supervisor of all sugars, and the overall supervision is two levels of quantity and quality.

It's about everyone's status and wages, almost everyone is working hard!
