"Are you sure he's not lying to you?"
Yang Huizhou was still very cautious and confirmed it again.
"Sure!"
Hou Shikai nodded, "He said he could teach me on the spot! Once I learn how to do it, it won't be too late to give him the money! Otherwise, I will definitely not believe him!"
Well, that’s true!
If it is taught on the spot, then it is reasonable.
But he was really curious.
What method did Pang Lushan have to guarantee that one pound of white sugar would be produced from five pounds of brown sugar?
If this is true, it would be a huge way to make money!
"This white sugar is so easy to make, and he only has ten kilograms of white sugar?"
...
...
Yang Huizhou asked again.
"He didn't dare to do it in a big way."
Hou Shikai whispered, "I heard from him that someone Yun Zheng trusted betrayed Yun Zheng and sold out many ways to make money! So Yun Zheng was very worried about them. He even didn't dare to buy brown sugar, for fear of being suspected by Yun Zheng..."
The one who betrayed Yun Zheng?
Isn’t this talking about Zhang Xu?
Yang Huizhou smiled in his heart and stopped asking about this matter. Instead, he asked, "You are short of 100,000 taels of silver?"
"It's still a long way off."
Hou Shikai laughed dryly, "If I borrow too much money at once, no one will lend it to me! And I don't want others to know about this, so I want to find more people to borrow..."
I see!
As this doubt was resolved, Yang Huizhou's heart became hot again.
Seeing this, Hou Shikai hurriedly said ingratiatingly, "Please be merciful, sir. Once I get the solution, I will give you ten kilograms, no... twenty kilograms of sugar every month!"
Twenty kilograms of sugar?
Yang Huizhou snorted in his heart.
One hundred kilograms of brown sugar can make twenty kilograms of white sugar!
He is sending away beggars!
Although he thought so in his heart, Yang Huizhou did not show it. He just smiled and said, "You said earlier that you got the sugar from Shuobei, how could there be such a misunderstanding?"
"Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Hou Shikai flattered him, "Yun Zheng has killed countless people. If he knew about this, I'm afraid my whole family would be in danger!"
"That's true!" Yang Huizhou nodded: "Yun Zheng is indeed a cruel and ruthless person."
Hou Shikai quickly nodded and smiled apologetically.
"Okay, now that we've figured things out, let's continue drinking!"
Yang Huizhou greeted Hou Shikai, then turned and walked towards Su Songbo and Su Henian.
When they were about to leave, Yang Huizhou gave the two of them a look, meaning that the matter had been settled and they didn't need to ask any more questions.
The two understood and said no more.
After that, it’s just eating and drinking as normal.
After eating and drinking, Hou Shikai wanted to leave, but Yang Huizhou kept him there, saying that he had something to discuss with him later.
Hou Shikai had no choice but to agree.
After Hou Shikai returned to his room to rest, Yang Huizhou immediately told the two of them what Hou Shikai had said.
Upon learning that Hou Shikai had such a way to make money, Su Henian and Su Songbo's breathing suddenly became rapid.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
Two million taels of silver is indeed outrageous.
If the seven elders of the Su family were asked to take out all the cash in their homes, it would probably be only around one million taels.
But that’s not how it’s calculated!
If you learn how to make white sugar from brown sugar, you can make your money back quickly!
After this, you will make a fortune!
"Sir, my Su family also wants to learn the method of making white sugar."
Su Henian looked at Yang Huizhou with envy, "If you can help me with this matter, I am willing to give you 20% of the profit!"
"right!"
Su Songbo also nodded in agreement, "Please help me, sir!"
They knew that they had sold out Hou Shikai, and that Hou Shikai would definitely be resentful of them.
Hou Shikai definitely doesn't want to cooperate with them.
Only by asking Yang Huizhou to help make connections can you get a share of this pie.
"Isn't this... bad?"
Yang Huizhou was very excited, but he still pretended to be reserved.
If I could make some money from them and then from Hou Shikai, I wouldn't have to spend a penny and could earn a huge sum of money for free!
How could Yang Huizhou not be tempted by the huge amount of money?
"What are you talking about, sir?"
Su Henian chuckled, "If it weren't for you, sir, we wouldn't even know that Hou Shikai actually has such a big business! This is what you deserve!"
“Yes, yes!”
Su Songbo echoed, "Please don't refuse, sir."
This... is a bit hard to refuse such a kind invitation!
Yang Huizhou was overjoyed, but his face remained calm. "Let me discuss this matter with Hou Shikai first!"
Done!
Su Henian and Su Songbo smiled at each other.
As long as Yang Huizhou is willing to help, everything will be fine!
…
Sifang County.
"I don't know how things are going over there at Hou Shikai."
In the palace, Chen Luoyan and the others were still a little worried.
Although Yun Zheng’s plan was good, the Su family might not necessarily fall for it.
Whether this thing will succeed or not depends on a bit of luck.
If it doesn't work, all the effort will be in vain.
"Don't worry!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "As long as Hou Shikai doesn't reveal the truth, this matter is a sure thing! Only when the benefits are big enough, these people can go crazy to the point of ignoring everything!"
When the stakes are big enough, it's hard for anyone to remain calm.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world.
But there is no shortage of greedy people.
Greed often makes people lose their rationality and fail to see the risks involved.
"I hope Su can be so greedy that he loses his mind!"
Chen Luoyan smiled: "If we punish the Su family severely, the other wealthy families in Fuzhou will behave themselves! I really look forward to seeing those people from the Su family cry!"
"Don't worry, they will cry someday!"
Yun Zheng showed a confident smile on his face, but he was still a little worried in his heart.
This matter does have the risk of failure.
What he feared most was that Hou Shikai could not act and would be discovered by the Su family.
Old people become more clever, and old horses become more cunning.
The seven elders of the Su family are definitely not stupid people.
Otherwise, they would never have thought of taking advantage of the situation by selling the land.
While they were chatting, Xin Sheng rushed in: "Your Highness, two old farmers came to the door and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, asking Your Highness to make a decision for them..."
Old farmer?
Yun Zheng was puzzled, and ordered Xin Sheng again: "Take them to the front yard!"
"yes!"
Xin Sheng trotted away.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Yun Zheng stood up and said, "I don't know who it is, but he came to the palace to beg..."
Shen Luoyan frowned: “Could it be those old farmers you helped a few days ago?”
"You reminded me!"
Yun Zheng touched his chin, "It could really be them!"
Apart from those old farmers, he had never had any contact with any other old farmers in Fuzhou.
I hope nothing happened to those old farmers?
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Soon, Yun Zheng brought Shen Luoyan and the others to the front yard.
Looking closely, it seemed that they were indeed two of the old farmers he had met a few days ago.
Before Yun Zheng could even ask, the two dirty old farmers knelt down with a bang and cried out, "Your Highness, please help us..."
