The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 216 Sweetening Hearts (Part [-])
"Hold on, don't shake, the houses in those ten towns should all be sold, but the [-] houses in Fufengzhai are uncertain, maybe how much they can sell for, don't get excited." Su Tang Pretend to be calm while comforting Liu Chen and Yingyue, while comforting himself.

"Even if it can't be sold out, it can still be sold for several million taels of silver. My God, the millions of taels of silver can be piled up as much as a mountain." Saying this, Liu Chen's hands trembled even more. He had never dreamed of so much money in his life.

After being excited for a while, Su Tang calmed down. Regardless of how much money he earns now, there will be as many places to spend money in the future.

"Afterwards, the houses will be allocated according to the above prices, and the [-] people outside Yanyang City will also be asked to move into new houses. It is best to arrange them in a town." Su Tang explained the next work to Liu Chen .

The new disaster victims can all be allocated such good houses, how can the original residents of Yanyang City still live in their small dilapidated houses, they must be treated equally, and all the people living outside the city will be moved into new houses to live in.

With everything properly arranged, we are waiting for the victims to rush to Yanyang City.

Although these victims lost their homes due to the drought, fortunately, the imperial court has been releasing food for disaster relief during this period, and the people at least will not starve to death.

Now with the support of the imperial court, they are allowed to move here, and they will not be so hungry that they will rush like refugees, so it should be more worry-free to arrange.

During the days waiting for the arrival of the victims, Su Tang happened to be able to make sugar from sugarcane. All the utensils Su Tang wanted these days had been made, and the sugarcane bought from Luoganzhai was also brought back by truckload.

The current batch of sugarcane is the sugarcane of the [-]-acre land that Luoganzhai first planted. After seven months of growth, it is finally harvested. How many catties are produced, converted, about one mu of land will be purchased at the price of three taels of silver.

For example, one mu of land can produce eight tons of sugarcane, that is, the yield of [-] kilograms, which is the price of nearly four renminbi and ten kilograms of sugarcane.

With the yield per mu of land they planted, the income per mu of land will also fluctuate with the yield, but this range will not be too large. The income per mu of land is generally around three taels of silver.

As for why it is so troublesome, how much is the price per ten kilograms to buy, instead of directly giving them three taels of silver per acre of land, this is also to better urge them to plant well. Two silver, they will not take care of it seriously, but will be passive and sabotage.

Some hard-working families in Luoganzhai have a large population. When they opened up wasteland, they opened up a lot of wasteland. They directly planted three acres of sugarcane and sold it for ten taels of silver.

But for those who joined Luo Ganzhai later, the people in the other villages were very jealous. Before they entered the mountain, it would be nice to have enough food all year round. How dare they think about saving money.

Some people can save less than half a tael of silver for a year, but now they can earn three taels of silver by selling sugar cane for an acre of land.

The point is that the sugarcane seedlings, fields, and houses are all provided by Fufengzhai. They don't need to pay any capital. As long as they cultivate the land well, they can earn a lot of money in a year. Who can not be excited.

"No, I have to go to the field to see how the sugarcane I planted is growing." An old man with a few strands of silver hair on his head looked at the group of people in Luoganzhai carrying heavy silver, thinking Straight itch.

Their later villages joined in late, and the sugarcane they planted was only half the height of a person, and it would take several months before the harvest. Unlike the original residents of Luogan Village, who planted sugarcane in March, they are now starting to plant sugar cane. Count the silver.

"I want to keep more sugarcane seedlings this year, and plant some more next year." The people who watched from a distance to buy sugarcane smacked their lips.

"Look at the silver, there are boxes of white silver and money, and the money is weighed and paid on the spot. There is no delay at all. The people in Fufengzhai really mean what they say."

"It's really good that we can meet Fufeng Village. As long as we work hard in the future, everyone can make a fortune by planting sugar cane. This is our blessing."

There are also some people who have sold out the sugar cane, holding silver in one hand and gnawing sugar cane in the other, and have been busy for more than half a year, and the price is so expensive that they can't taste it first.

"Sweet, as sweet as honey." After taking a few bites, he was amazed, how could the sugarcane, which obviously didn't look very good, be so sweet, he had never eaten such a sweet fruit.

Compared with the excitement and liveliness of Luo Ganzhai, Su Tang is instructing the staff in the sugar workshop to wash and squeeze the sugar cane.

The sugarcane juice is then boiled into a yellow-black syrup, which is poured out and condensed into black granulated sugar. This kind of sugar is edible, but there are too many impurities and it does not look very good.

At this time, you need to put the brown sugar into the funnel, pour the brown sugar in the funnel with yellow mud water, and the black impurities will flow out from the bottom of the funnel, leaving only a layer of hoarfrost in the funnel, which is the white sugar that Su Tang wants .

This is the yellow mud water drizzle method invented in the Ming Dynasty. It seems simple, but it can turn black granulated sugar into snow-white and expensive white sugar.

A man was holding a bucket of yellow muddy water standing in front of the big funnel filled with brown sugar, and asked Su Tang uncertainly, "Villager, do you really want to pour it out? If the muddy water is poured out, this pot of brown sugar will no longer be available. "

He was very sad in his heart. When they saw those sugar canes turned into black candies, don't mention how surprised they were. Sugar is such a precious thing. Even caramel can only be afforded by the rich and powerful.

These ordinary people have never tasted the taste of caramel in their life. Even if they are lucky enough to go to the mountains and get honey, they are reluctant to eat it. They usually sell it and exchange it for food.

If the pot of pure sweet brown sugar in front of him is sold, it can be sold for dozens of taels of silver. If his bucket of yellow mud is poured into the water, it must be watered, so can he still eat it?Just thinking about it makes him feel bad.

"Listen to me, pour it!" Su Tang signaled him to continue.

The village owner had already spoken, and he couldn't say anything more. He gritted his teeth and poured all the yellow muddy water into it, submerging the brown sugar in an instant.

As time passed bit by bit, the yellow muddy water slowly flowed out from the bottom of the funnel with black impurities, and a layer of hoarfrost began to form inside the funnel. Su Tang asked people to take out the hoarfrost, and the snow-white white sugar was like this Made it.

Su Tang asked those employees to pick up some to taste, don't be so busy working all day that you don't even know what the things you make taste like.

When the employees tasted it, their eyes widened. The white granulated sugar tasted pure and sweet. Apart from the sweetness that can melt people's hearts, there is no other peculiar smell.
