Chapter 61 Sensation on

Before the Chinese New Year, Yang Tian finally waited for Sun Qing's letter. Sun Qing wrote that he had settled in Suizhou and rented a remote small yard with the money given to him by Yang Tian. The work of making sugar can be started immediately. It is expected that by tomorrow, some of the sugar can be shipped to Chang'an for sale.

Yang Tian felt relieved and had peace of mind to celebrate the New Year at home. News of victory was constantly coming from the front line of the Zhou army, and the people of Chang'an were all excited. Since the Battle of Pingyang, the Qi army has no decent resistance. Although many people still remember their relatives on the front line, they can also feel at ease to celebrate the New Year. However, there are so many young and strong people in Chang'an City, and this year still seems a bit bleak.

In February of the sixth year of Jiande of the Great Zhou Dynasty, news came from the front that the Zhou army had captured the capital of Qi, Yecheng, and the Qi emperor Gao Wei and his son were also caught by the Zhou army on the way to Qingzhou, and Qi had been declared destroyed.

This news surprised the people of Chang'an. The Qi State, which was established earlier than the Great Zhou Dynasty and had fought with the Great Zhou for twenty years, was destroyed like this. If it weren't for the Emperor's personal leadership of the attack on Qi this time, someone would probably suspect it was fake news.

Yang Tian once again came to the courtyard of Qinghouer's house before. Five people stood in front of him. After months of treatment, the three young men's injuries had completely healed. They all had been fighting on the street since childhood, and they didn't even have a serious name. Yang Tian named them Yang Jin, Yang Mu, and Yang Lei respectively.

"Yang Shi and Yang Miao are still young. I want them to follow me and learn some skills. You three are already adults. I wonder what plans are in the future?"

The three of them said that Yang Jin was a little older, and Yang Jin replied: "Young Master, we three are usually very brave and fierce. Apart from some strength, we really don't know what we can do?"

Yang Tiandao: "It is also a skill to fight bravely. Are you willing to obey my arrangements?"

Over the past few months, Yang Tian has provided food and accommodation for them, and helped them recover their injuries. The three of them have considered Yang Tian as their master and said in unison: "Please arrange it for me, my son."

"Okay, I'll give you some money in a few days, and you can go and join the army."

"Entering the army?" The three of them hesitated.

"Why, don't you want to do it? Do you still want to continue to fight for the rest of your life? I don't know if one day you will fall into a stinky ditch. Although it is dangerous to join the army, it is the right way. Maybe you will have a day to return home in glory."

Seeing that Yang Tian's tone was dull, the three of them were angry. After a while, Yang Jin said, "Since the young master asked us to join the army, we will join the army."

The three of them were envious of Qinghouer as the guard of the Duke's Mansion. Although they dared not think that Yang Tian could summon them to the Duke's Mansion, they were satisfied with their hope of running errands for Yang Tian in Chang'an. If they wanted to join the army, they would have to recruit troops to attack Qi long ago, without waiting until now.

Seeing the three of them looking a little unhappy, Yang Tian comforted: "Don't worry, now my Great Zhou is strong and we can unify the world. It is time to make achievements. As long as you are smarter and there is no big risk, I will use my financial resources to help you. As for the rest, it depends on your own efforts."

"yes."

Yang Tian was the one who wanted to use the manpower of making sugar in Chang'an. However, now he has sent Sun Qing and Qinghouer to Suizhou. There is no place for them to make arrangements. They can't let them eat a waste of food. Sending them to join the army is the best choice. If they lose their lives, it's just a little investment in the previous place. If they really have a prospect, it might be a great help in the future. Yang Tian thought so.

A few days later, Yang Jin and the other two took dozens of money from Yang Tian to the road and went north to join the army. Although the emperor of Qi had been captured, the Zhou army would continue to attack the cities that refused to surrender, and would send troops to occupy the cities that were captured. When troops were needed, they would not worry about whether the three people would join the army would be smooth.

After the three left, Yang Shi and Yang Miao were taken to the Duke's Mansion by Yang Tian, ​​which was considered to be a measure of the lack of Sun Qing and Qing Houer. Although someone in the Duke's Mansion wondered that Sun Qing and Qing Houer suddenly disappeared, it was just that Yang Tian took charge of the small courtyard himself. Dugu's family only cared for it once, and Yang Tian casually said that they were not suitable for the Duke's Mansion, so he pushed it over after dismissing.

Next, Yang Tian returned to his previous life. In addition to practicing martial arts in the Duke's Mansion and reading military books, he would also go out for a walk often. Sometimes he sat at Mr. Hao's mutton soup stall and drank a bowl of fragrant mutton soup. Mr. Hao had no children and daughters. After he recovered from his injuries, Yang Tian originally wanted to take him to live in the Duke's Mansion, but Mr. Hao refused. He had to rely on his own skills to make a living, so Yang Tian had to let him.

Another month passed. On that day, Yang Tian and Yang Ying were sitting in front of Mr. Hao’s stall, drinking the fragrant mutton soup. When they heard two diners next to them quietly discussing: “Do you know, a new kind of snow sugar was added to the Wanxingtai store in front. It is really as white as snow. When putting it in your mouth, it can sweeten the tongue.”

"If this is true, it's good to buy it and try it." All the people here were fond of food, and they were immediately moved when they heard it.

The man said contemptuously: "Buy it, just your family's assets, can you afford it? It's for food for nobles. I heard that it came from overseas, and the price was from the sea."

One of them said unconvincedly: "Isn't it just sugar? You can buy several kilograms for ten cents. If it is more expensive, I'll pay twenty cents."

"Twenty-months, you just want to eat snow sugar. Let me tell you this number." After saying that, the man slapped him.

"Fifty-month, I still don't believe this evil. If you really say it well, I'll buy it and try it."

"Fifty? Let's take it down, a total of 500 million yuan per pound."

The people around him immediately took a breath. These people spent a penny at the mutton soup stall, and then went to the next door to buy a few pancakes for three or four cents, so they could have a full meal. No one would buy the five hundred cents a pound of snow sugar just to taste the taste.

"Zhu Tousan, just brag. Since it is so expensive, I don't believe you have tasted it."

"That's right, Zhu Tousan, you're also hearing about it, can you taste it?" The people around him suddenly started to cheer. Zhu Tousan's voice gradually drowned.

Yang Tian felt aroused when he heard this. The snow sugar was finally shipped. Yang Ying looked at Yang Tian with a gaze: "Brother, let's go and have a look, okay?"

Yang Tian put down the two cents and said a trick to Mr. Hao: "Old man, let's go ahead and take a look."
