Chastity Layman

Brother Ah San was all shocked.

This is real sugar, real icing sugar, a thousand times better than their icing sugar, especially the rock sugar, which is incredible.

Sitting there, Qin Lang was very proud of seeing the shocked expressions of Ah San's brothers.

"My Tang Dynasty already has a secret method to make real frosting sugar and rock sugar. Even this old ginger brown sugar is actually no worse than your Tianzhu sugar."

The implication is that Tianzhu frosted sugar has fallen behind and is worthless, so why is it still selling for three hundred yuan a catty?

"Dear Lord Yi, I am willing to exchange two catties of Tianzhu frosting sugar for one catty of your Datang frosting sugar!" A businessman from Gaoda Kingdom hurriedly said.

The envoy from Kamalupo raised the price, "I'll exchange three catties of frosting sugar for one catty!"

Bramo Kingdom immediately increased the weight, "five catties for one catty."

And the rich and powerful envoy of Jie Japan directly shouted out six catties for one catty.

No one made a sound.

The price is really too high. In the past, Tianzhu frosted sugar sold for 300 yuan a catty, while Datang's gray sugar sold for 50 yuan per catty, which is a difference of six times. Datang's rough sugar can also be sold for 100 yuan per catty, which is not much different. Three times, even if this is only the wholesale price, the market retail price is higher, and the difference will not exceed five times.

But now, they actually called out six catties for one catty.

But Qin Lang could see that these people were actually willing to spend a lot of money, and they really wanted to buy it back to study the secret method of this candy, so if the quantity is small, it is nothing.

Qin Lang chuckled.

He didn't come here today to sell such a few catties of sugar.

"Very well, since the Jieri Kingdom has this sincerity, then I, Tang Dynasty, won't cherish my own broom, and I will definitely give you this white sugar back. Just exchange six for one, and my Tang Dynasty will give you the frosted sugar that you paid tribute, how about it?"

The envoy of Jieri King didn't expect Qin Lang to have so much white sugar, so he thought about it, "Could it be half white sugar and half rock sugar?"

"Rock candy is more valuable. How about this, ginger candy is exchanged for two, frost sugar is exchanged for six, as for this rock candy, one is exchanged for twelve! Is it possible?"

"Dear Lord Yi, we Jieri have brought five thousand catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar!"

"We can exchange as much as you want. Of course, if you don't want to exchange it, it doesn't matter, but the price of your sugar can't be estimated at the original three hundred catties per catty. You have also seen such good sugar. No one will care about your sugar, unless it is sold cheap and cheap!"

Qin Lang gave them two choices, exchange sugar for Qin Lang's sugar, or lower the price.

They are unwilling to sell at a reduced price.

"Okay, let's change."

In the end, they decided to replace the 2,400 catties of Tianzhu sugar with 200 catties of rock sugar, the 2,400 catties of Tianzhu frosted sugar with 400 catties of white granulated sugar, and the remaining 200 catties of Tianzhu frosted sugar with 100 catties of ginger brown sugar. . The envoys from the Japanese Kingdom were also smart, knowing that high-end goods would be easier to sell and make money.

The other countries hesitated for a long time, and in the end they could only exchange the sugar according to the conditions of Jie Japan. If they did not exchange it, if Jie Japan exchanged this batch of sugar, it would be exclusive in Tianzhu, and it would definitely make a lot of money by then. earn.

A total of 12,000 catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar was supposed to be worth 3,600 guan, but now Qin Lang easily ate it without spending a penny.

All the countries in Tianzhu exchanged Tang white sugar and rock sugar one after another. The ratio of six for one and twelve for one made Qin Lang undoubtedly make a fortune.

After finalizing the contract, Qin Lang went out with a smile.

Turning around, I found Ma Zhou, the deputy envoy, "I've eaten all these frosted candies from the Tianzhu people."

When Ma Zhou understood what was going on, he couldn't help being extremely surprised.

"Unexpectedly, Saburo has mastered such a secret technique."

"Don't worry, I won't let the imperial court suffer. White sugar is exchanged for five, and rock sugar is exchanged for ten. I eat these Tianzhu candies from you. According to the negotiated terms, I will exchange them for six, and I will exchange them for ten for Tianzhu." People, the rest is the company's profit."

With this batch of sugar, the transshipment company can make a lot of money.

Public is public, private is private.

Qin Lang initially considered whether to hand over this technology to the company and transfer it to the transshipment company, but after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that there was no benefit in doing so, and he might as well keep it for himself.

"This matter should be reported to His Majesty first." Ma Zhou reminded Qin Lang.

"It's natural. I'm a transit envoy. Of course, this matter must be decided by His Majesty."

After Li Shimin received Qin Lang's memorial, he was also extremely surprised, and then he saw the white sugar, rock sugar and brown sugar that accompanied the memorial.

After carefully comparing Tianzhu Tang, I have to sigh how powerful Qin Lang is.

The imperial court didn't lose money, and they made a fortune by turning their hands around.

Li Shimin also knew that Qin Lang's technology was very valuable, but he didn't want to grab it. But what Li Shimin didn't know was the real power of Qin Lang's technique. He didn't know that Qin Lang was actually an empty-handed white wolf who directly refined, decolorized and recrystallized sugar from Tianzhu people. The cost, and the cost of nothing.

If Li Shimin knew that after Qin Lang ate twelve thousand catties of Tianzhu sugar, he could refine eight or nine thousand catties of white sugar and several thousand catties of black ginger sugar at no cost, Li Shimin might not be so calm.

The Tianzhu people used to come to steal money, but now Qin Lang even made it out of nothing.

Twelve thousand catties of Tianzhu frosted sugar were transported by Qin Lang from the transfer treasury to Pingkangfang. He also asked people to buy all the Tianzhu frosted sugar that was available in the market, and even the gray sugar and rough sugar from Datang .

Overnight, everyone found out that there was no sugar in Chang'an.

The price of sugar is rising steadily, but there is still a price but no market.

And just a few days later, a new sugar shop opened in the eastern and western cities of Chang'an.

Snow white frosting sugar, crystal clear rock sugar, rose brown sugar, ginger brown sugar, osmanthus brown sugar, and brown sugar and other new products are on the market.

And the price of such good candy is even more astonishing.

Rock sugar is five hundred cash a catty, frosted sugar is only three hundred cash a catty, brown sugar is only one hundred cash a catty, and ginger candy is only fifty cash a catty...

Compared with the previous price of sugar, this price does not seem to have changed much. After all, the previous good Tianzhu Frosted Sugar also sold for three hundred and one catties.

Some people are puzzled.

But this pricing is the result of Qin Lang's deliberation.

This is actually squeezing the market of Tianzhu frosting sugar, selling better Datang frosting sugar at the original price of Tianzhu frosting sugar, so who will buy Tianzhu frosting sugar?

On the other hand, in fact, Qin Lang's sugar is mainly eaten from the hands of Tianzhu people. In addition, the original low-priced local sugar from Datang purchased from the market has now changed into a high-priced sugar. The profit is astonishing, and it can seize the market share, why not do it?

The Qin family's brown sugar is sold at the same price as the original coarse sugar, but the Qin family's brown sugar is undoubtedly of higher quality, even if it is ginger sugar, it is better than the previous gray sugar.

It can be said that it completely crushes the sucrose currently on the market.

Sure enough, the market responded enthusiastically.

Although sugar is actually unaffordable to ordinary people, there are many extraordinary people in Chang'an, and even pharmacies have always used frosted sugar as a medicine to treat many diseases.

Qin Lang also intentionally imposed purchase restrictions and engaged in hunger marketing.

Build momentum.

The name of Guogongtang was the same for a while, and Chang'an snapped it up.

The hundreds of catties of frosting sugar and rock sugar in the transshipment department also became a hot commodity. Li Shimin personally sent eunuchs to bring two hundred catties of frosting sugar and one hundred catties of rock sugar to the palace.

The only ones with more complicated feelings should be those Tianzhu merchants. In the past, their candy came to Datang to make money as hard currency, but they failed this year.

But looking at the Tang Tang in their hands, several families looked forward to it again. Tang people are so eager to grab the candy, after it is shipped back to Tianzhu, it will definitely become a treasure, and even if it is shipped to Persia at that time, it will make a lot of money.

Some smart people from Tianzhu even took the initiative to come to Qin Lang and ask for a reservation, planning to come to pick it up next time.

"For this, you have to find the transshipment department. Under the transshipment department, there is a new Shibo department office. They are in charge of foreign trade. You need to place an order with them. If you want to make a reservation, you must pay a deposit first."

After frost sugar and rock sugar became popular, Qin Lang didn't think about eating alone.

He knows that eating alone is not good.

So now he divides the Qin family's candy into three, and sells one part for himself, under the brand of Guogong candy. The other one was sold to the imperial court transshipment department, which was actually the wholesale price, and the remaining one was sold to a business name of the wealthy and noble families in Beijing.

In short, everyone earns money, and the Qin family can't monopolize the profits of this sugar market. In that case, the food looks too ugly and it will make people mess with it.

However, as long as the Qin family firmly grasps this technology, it will still be the biggest holder of benefits.

Of course, this is also a win-win situation. After all, Qin Lang only has technology, and he has no raw materials. He cannot control the sugarcane planting, primary processing, and transportation, so he has to cooperate with other companies to purchase their raw sugar.

Qin Lang has now built a new state-owned sugar workshop near the Qin family villa in Changlepo, which is responsible for sugar processing. The guards of the Qin family are strictly guarded to prevent anyone from spying on the secret method. Even the workers in the workshop are basically the old people of the Qin family, especially Qin Lang even turned the uncomplicated workshop into an assembly line operation. Master a process, divide it into several isolated workshops, prohibit inquiring about other people's processes, etc., and the core processes are completely operated by the most trusted people.

Hall of Liangyi.

Li Shimin was drinking stewed pears with rock sugar, while looking at the report that Qin Lang presented.

The transshipment department is responsible for the reward, and the operation has been completed, and the result is gratifying. Without using the treasury's gold, silver, cash, and silk, Qin Lang made the Hu people very satisfied.

The various tributes paid by the Hu people, such as spices, ivory, rare birds and animals, slaves, etc., were exchanged by the Tang Dynasty with silk, satin, porcelain, Buddhist statues, Buddhist scriptures, etc., and Qin Lang exchanged these for the spices, exotic animals, etc. Yes, a big auction came directly.

There are indeed a lot of powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an. There are quite a few people who like these foreign gadgets, and there are many people who are chasing novelties, and many things like ivory pearls and rhino horns are not just gadgets, but have a lot of medicinal uses Equivalent.

For example, the Supreme Emperor sent people to take pictures of many ivory rhino horn pearls, etc., as well as many spices. The Supreme Emperor spent a lot of money and spent a lot of money.

The other families are also unambiguous, what kind of pepper, pearls, everyone is fighting for it.

As for those slaves, they are even more loved by them. As a rich and powerful family, there are no foreign slaves in the family, so they are ashamed to say hello to others.

In short, under Qin Lang's deliberate publicity, this auction was a success.

All the tributes from all parties were sold by the transshipment department and turned into gold, silver and silk.

In essence, all kinds of silk fabrics and porcelain produced in the official workshop of the Shaofu Supervisor, as well as many Buddhist scriptures and statues confiscated by the court, were sold at a premium.
