After nearly an hour of hard work, they finally made the sugar.
"so much?"
Looking at the produced white sugar, Su Huaimin's eyes widened.
This should be about two taels of sugar, right?
Pang Lushan: "If you make less, it will definitely be finer, and you will get a little more white sugar, but if you make more, the loss will be greater! However, no matter what, five kilograms of brown sugar can produce one kilogram of white sugar."
"I see!"
Su Huaimin suddenly realized and looked at Baitang with envy.
I didn’t expect that!
Making white sugar from brown sugar is so easy!
The key lies in the rice vinegar and rice washing water!
...
...
But such a simple method cost them two million taels of silver.
It hurts just thinking about it.
However, thinking about being able to produce large amounts of sugar in the future, Su Huaimin felt relieved.
The money they spent will be earned back very quickly!
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you still have any questions, ask now!"
As he spoke, Pang Lushan moved closer to the window and looked out with an uneasy look on his face.
As if afraid someone would come.
Su Huaimin and Hou Shikai did have a few questions, and after a little thought, Su Huaimin began to ask.
Pang Lushan answered all the questions, which made Su Huaimin feel relieved.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Pang Lushan took out ten packages of white sugar from the package and gave them to Hou Shikai, "Brother Hou is a straightforward person, I can't be stingy! It would be a trouble if I kept these white sugars, so I will give them to Brother Hou!"
"Thank you, Brother Lu Shan!"
Hou Shikai's face was full of gratitude, and he handed the small wooden box containing the silver bills to Pang Lushan.
Pang Lushan simply counted them and immediately said, "You two, let's say goodbye now! We have never met before, and no one will know each other in the future!"
"I'll see Brother Lu Shan off!"
Hou Shikai smiled and took the initiative to open the door for Pang Lushan.
As soon as they opened the door, the people guarding outside began to gather around.
Seeing this, Pang Lushan immediately told Hou Shikai: "Brother, you two only need to know this method, don't spread it around! You should also know that things are valuable because they are rare. The more sugar there is on the market, the lower the price you can sell it for!"
His voice was not loud, but the person from the Su family who was nearby heard it.
"Thank you, Brother Lu Shan, for the reminder!"
Hou Shikai clasped his fists and smiled.
"Farewell, I hope we'll never see each other again!"
Pang Lushan replied, and then said, "You guys should also leave Shuobei quickly, and don't let Yun Zheng's people target you! Hurry up and bury the pots, don't let anyone find out!"
After saying that, Pang Lushan immediately left with the wooden box.
As Pang Lushan left, the other members of the Su family all looked at Su Huaimin inquiringly, "Have you learned it?"
"I've learned it. It's very simple!"
The smile on Su Huaimin's face was particularly bright.
After getting a positive answer, the heavy stones in their hearts fell to the ground instantly.
Hou Shikai: "Everyone, we should not stay here for long. Pack up and leave! Bury everything that can be buried. Nothing has happened here, and no one has ever seen Pang Lushan!"
Seeing that Hou Shikai and Pang Lushan were so cautious, the Su family members didn't say anything more.
After all, everyone knows the consequences if Yun Zheng finds out about this.
The most urgent task is to leave Shuobei as soon as possible.
As long as we leave Shuobei, this matter will basically be considered a complete success.
A few people found a hidden place to bury the materials used in making sugar. Seeing that there was still some brown sugar there, Hou Shi was very happy and had them bury it as well.
"What's the point of burying this?"
The Su family's people seemed to be unable to bear to see Hou Shikai being so wasteful.
"Be careful!"
Hou Shikai said seriously, "How much is this little bit of brown sugar worth? Yun Zheng is very cunning, don't risk your life for this little bit of silver!"
"What about the sugar he gave you? Did he bury it too?" Su Huaimin asked with a frown.
"Let's not bury this for now. If we sell it, it will be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Hou Shikai replied: "Find a safe place to hide it later, and then think of a way to transport the sugar out of Shuobei after some time."
"All right!"
Su Huaimin didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, everyone buried everything that could be buried, and then left quickly.
Everyone had done something wrong and had been living in fear the whole time.
It was not until the next afternoon that they left Beilu Pass.
Only at this point did everyone feel completely relieved.
Before parting, Hou Shikai agreed with Su's people that the sugar could not be sold at a low price. If the price was too low, it would be of no benefit to anyone.
Naturally, the Su family had no objection to Hou Shikai's proposal.
They spent a lot of money to get the method of making white sugar from brown sugar.
No matter what, we have to recover the costs first.
After parting with Su's people, Hou Shikai made another detour before heading to the palace in Sifang County.
Upon learning that Hou Shikai was coming to visit, Yun Zheng immediately asked the housekeeper to bring him into the study.
"Is everything settled?"
Yun Zheng looked at Hou Shikai with anticipation.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission!"
Hou Shikai had a smile on his face and breathed a sigh of relief.
"very good!"
Yun Zheng felt relieved. "Tell me in detail the whole process of your meeting with Pang Lushan."
"yes!"
Hou Shikai did not dare to delay and immediately described the whole process in detail.
Hou Shikai explained it in great detail.
He took in almost every detail and every word of their conversation.
After listening to Hou Shikai's story, Yun Zheng felt more at ease.
This thing is done!
"I am a man of my words. I will forgive your debt of two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "In addition, I will give you the exclusive rights to sell sugar in the pass!"
What?
The right to monopolize white sugar?
Hou Shikai’s eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Yun Zheng in disbelief.
If I could get the monopoly rights of white sugar within the Great Wall, the debt I owe to Yun Zheng would be nothing!
When he came to his senses, Hou Shikai quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"No need to thank me, you deserve it!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and ordered: "For the next period of time, you will stay in the palace to avoid the limelight! I will teach you what to do next!"
"later?"
Hou Shikai was puzzled.
What's next?
This has defrauded the Su family of 1.4 million taels of silver!
Is there any backup plan?
"Okay, stop asking this and go down and have a rest first!"
Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and a cunning smile appeared on his face.
"I'll take my leave!"
Hou Shikai tactfully stopped asking questions and quickly left the study.
After Hou Shikai left, You Jiu slowly walked out from the dark.
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at You Jiu: "Are you confident that you won't be discovered by anyone in Su Henian's family?"
"have!"
You Jiu said confidently: "I have already found out the location of Su Henian's warehouse. It won't be difficult to quietly put a few dozen kilograms of sugar in there."
"good!"
Yun Zheng smiled with satisfaction, "Then do this as soon as possible. The people from the Su family should start making sugar when they return to Juping! As long as they find that the method of making sugar is not right, you should spread the word immediately!"
You Jiu accepted the order and quickly left...
