Chapter 57: On a Long Journey

Gently stroking the white sugar cubes, Yang Tian fell into deep thought. Although the sugar was made, how to sell it is a problem.

Of course, I am not worried about not being able to sell it, but there is no suitable candidate for sales, and I cannot come forward. Qinghouer is not a good candidate. The release of sugar will definitely attract the attention of many people. If Qinghouer comes forward, it will be found out soon. Only Sun Qing's identity is a little secure, but it is not safe.

"Young Master, how much does this sugar cost per pound?" Qinghouer asked happily.

"Well, this is a luxury product, and it is not an exaggeration to buy at least twice the price of salt." Yang Tianman replied unscathed.

Everyone inhaled slightly. Now the salt price in Chang'an is as high as 120 cents per pound. Wouldn't the purchase price of sugar be more than 200 cents? If people know that the sugar is made of inconspicuous grey sugar cubes, it would make many people crazy.

Sun Qing suddenly said, "Young Master, I understand,"

"Oh, what do you understand?" Sun Qing's words were a little puzzled, and Qinghouer couldn't help asking.

"I understand why the young master still wants to make brown sugar into white sugar, but I don't see the boss who bought gray candy cubes."

In fact, from the perspective of sweetness, brown sugar is even sweeter than white sugar. Yang Tian turned all brown sugar into white sugar, of course, not just for the sake of good looks, brown sugar can also find shadows from gray sugar cubes. If anyone has never seen white sugar, no one will think about gray sugar cubes.

Yang Tian praised Sun Qing very much, but he didn't expect Sun Qing could think of this layer: "Then tell me, how should these sugars be sold?"

"Young Master, that's not simple. I'll take the sugar to the market tomorrow and guarantee that it will be sold out in a short time." Qinghouer said impatiently.

"Nonsense, if someone asks you how the sugar comes from, how will you answer?" Yang Tian shouted.

Qinghouer was stunned for a moment before saying, "Isn't it over if I don't tell them."

"What if Yuwen asks me, there are so many dukes and princes in the capital, and you can just come out, how can you not answer?"

Qinghouer was stunned. Sun Qing said: "Young Master, we can claim that this is snow sugar coming from overseas, so that others can't find out."

"Yes, this is reasonable. In this way, we must pretend that the goods were transported in outside. Otherwise, over time, it will be easy for others to track down this kind of snow sugar that is made in the city. Moreover, when we make it in the city, we have to consume a lot of grey candy pieces, which will also attract the attention of others. This time, a merchant came with him if he only bought a few hundred kilograms. If he bought more, he would probably not be a merchant."

Seeing Yang Tian’s worrying look, Sun Qing couldn’t help but feel strange: “Young Master, even if others know, with the power of the Duke’s Mansion, how many people dare to move?”

Yang Tian shook his head: "You don't understand. What I want is absolute secrets. We must never let people know that Sui Guogong's Mansion is related to white sugar."

Sun Qing immediately stopped talking. Since Yang Tian said so, Sun Qing had to find another way.

Yang Tian suddenly grabbed Sun Qing's hand: "Brother Sun, this matter is related to my future life. All I can trust is you, so I will entrust this matter to you."

Sun Qing was shocked and knelt down quickly: "Young Master killed the villain. If you have any instructions, you will be sure to do it."

Yang Tian helped Sun Qing up: "Although death is not enough, this matter cannot be said to be without risk. I want you to go to another place and find a secret place to produce sugar, and then ship it to various places for sale. In this way, it will attract the attention of others and it will be difficult to investigate."

"Young Master, tell me where do you want me to go?"

"Suizhou."

"Suizhou?" Sun Qing asked in confusion: "Young Master, why are you so far away from Chang'an? This sugar capital is the main market."

"Just Suizhou, what are you afraid of if you are far away? The profit of sugar is so great that it is ten times more profitable to transport from Suizhou to Chang'an. The most important thing is that Suizhou is close to the borders of Liang, Qi and Chen. The difficulty of others to investigate will definitely increase several times. Moreover, Suizhou is close to the south, and a large amount of grey candy cubes must be transported from the south, which also saves others from suspicion because they buy too many grey candy cubes. Moreover, my father was the general manager of Suizhou, and Suizhou also has my fiefdom. In the future, I can also make excuses to go to Suizhou."

Sun Qing nodded: "Young Master, can you let the master know about this?"

"No, remember that no one can know this except me."

Seeing Yang Tian speaking so seriously, Sun Qing nodded heavily: "Don't worry, young master, even if a villain loses his life, he will not reveal the secret."

Yang Tian looked at Qinghouer again: "Horse Yang Qinghou, you should follow Guard Sun, just be the deputy of Guard Sun. Remember, when you two arrive in Suizhou, you must be united in unity."

Qinghouer yelled, but he didn't expect he would go too, so he nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang Qinghou will not let down his high expectations."

Yang Tian called Qing Houer and Sun Qing alone, instructed the two to pay attention to the important things and taught them Arabic numerals. In the future, the communication between the two parties will be connected by a password composed of numbers.

Finally, Qinghouer asked, "Young Master, how to deal with the prepared sugar?"

Qing Houer and Sun Qing were going to travel far. It was just when a lot of money was needed. Yang Tian wanted to exchange all the candy pieces for silver and bring them with him. However, he told him not to do this: "Keep those gray candies, and the rest of the prepared brown sugar will be destroyed."

Qinghouer, a pity, if a pound of white sugar can really be sold for more than 200 ounces, the sugar is already forty or fifty pounds, which is nearly ten tons of silver, which is enough for a medium-sized family to spend a year.

Yang Tian was afraid that Qinghouer or Yang Shi, Yang Miao and others would be reluctant to leave, so he kept some secretly and supervised himself, poured all the sugar into the water tank and dissolved it, and then poured the water into the sewage ditch, and threw away all the lime, wood and carbon and other raw materials.

Except for Yang Tian, ​​only five people knew about the process of making sugar, even the three people who were recovering from the room did not know about it. As long as the sugar was destroyed and the sugar made from Suizhou was transported to Chang'an, no one would have traces of the sugar in Chang'an.
