Among the four commodities, white sugar is the latest to be produced. In fact, when Gong Chuxin went to the northwest, there was not much white sugar in the laboratory.
But even so, in order to greatly expand the market and let the tribes on the grassland enjoy it, Liu Mingqi still took more than a hundred bags to the Yiwang Mansion and asked Gong Chuxin to promote it.
In a poor place like the grassland, sugar needs to be promoted, but in Beijing, the most affluent city in the country, sugar does not require much effort to promote sugar.
Liu Mingqi only needs to let the wind go and tell everyone that cakes made with white sugar are more delicious, milk tea made with white sugar is more delicious, white sugar can also be added to steamed buns, and various pastries are made with white sugar, and the taste is more different, that is enough.
??Which store in Beijing has the most new gadgets?
There must be no other home besides Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion.
Now they have brought out the white sugar, which is so sweet that your mouth is full of sweetness just by tasting it, and it doesn¡¯t stick to your teeth.
In the past, the candy made from sugar cane, wheat, and sorghum was delicious, but for people with bad teeth, especially the elderly, it was simply too unfriendly. Even a little bit would stick to their teeth, which was very uncomfortable.
White sugar is different. It has small particles and is very easy to dissolve in water. It is good to drink as sugar water.
There are too many rich people in the capital. Although a pound of sugar sells for a high price of one tael of silver, many people still come to buy it.
On the first day, we sold more than seven pounds, on the second day, we sold more than 1,900 pounds, and on the third day, we sold 5,400 pounds.
Starting from the fourth day, Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion started the crazy habit again ¨C purchasing restrictions!
They limit sales to only three thousand kilograms per day, and there is no more than one pack; and each person can only buy one pack at a time.
¡°As a result, those wealthy families who heard about the benefits of sugar had no choice but to ask their slaves to queue up late at night in order to buy more.
Sweet food does not account for a large proportion of all foods, especially in ancient times.
But the key is that once you like sweets, it¡¯s hard to give them up.
It¡¯s like quitting smoking and drinking, but you¡¯re addicted to craving for something sweet all day long.
There is no doubt that Emperor Jinghe is such a person.
If the imperial doctor hadn't told him to cherish his body and not be overly greedy for certain foods, he would have drank milk tea every day and eaten cake every day Oh, by the way, now he also has to eat a White Rabbit milk candy every day, along with soy milk and sugar. , much sweeter than adding honey.
There are many people like the emperor, so after sugar became popular, it would be a sign of impoliteness for any rich man, noble, official, or descendant of the clan not to have something made from sugar to entertain guests at home.
This lasted for more than ten days, and there was still a daily purchase limit. Many people complained, and the emperor even got wind of it.
Emperor Jinghe called Liu Mingqi to the palace.
The young man was very sensible. When he came, he brought a large bag full of White Rabbit toffee to Emperor Jinghe.
Zhao Shoule received it happily, thinking that the ladies finally don¡¯t have to fight for such a small share.
"Have you taken it from Grandma Huang and Changle?" Emperor Jinghe asked one more question in satisfaction.
Liu Mingqi nodded: "Please ask Qian Niuwei to send it over."
People who know how to be a good person should of course consider everything carefully.
"Isn't it a waste of time not to send my favorite little girl and my biggest supporter away?"
Emperor Jinghe said: "The news about White Rabbit Milk Candy has already spread, right?"
"That kid Liu Mingjing is messing around with women, and it has long been known throughout the city." Liu Mingqi said with a bitter smile, "But we are still stocking up on supplies, and there is no way to sell them. Otherwise, we will sell them all. It¡¯s been gone for two days, won¡¯t they scold you even more fiercely?¡±
Liu Mingjing has many good sisters and sisters.
There are flower houses, and there are also serious people. Anyway, if this guy was placed in modern times, he would be a scum that was put in a hundred pig cages, directly pressed with a hundred boulders, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
With the White Rabbit toffee given to him by Liu Mingqi, he has been stealing the show recently.
¡°When he ran out of White Rabbit toffee, he had no choice but to tell him that it was from Prince Yu¡¯s palace, and then all the ladies and ladies from the flower house came to his door.
Money is not an issue, but hand over the White Rabbit candy!
But there is no product at all in the store, and even the store clerk doesn¡¯t know what White Rabbit Milk is.scale.
With the scale increasing and the raw materials not lacking, of course the production speed of toilet paper has accelerated dozens of times.
So far, the only thing that can be bought anytime and anywhere in Yuwangfu store is toilet paper.
Liu Mingqi planned that if she waits for the next expansion, the price of toilet paper will be reduced for the first time.
The lower the cost, the easier it is to break into the middle and lower class markets.
Although they don¡¯t have much money, if the price of a roll of toilet paper drops to ten cents, do you think they will occasionally buy a few rolls?
There were more than 20 million households in the Kang Dynasty. If one family bought one roll a month, that would be more than 20 million rolls. Isn¡¯t it still profitable?
The Sugar Factory also moved outside the city and employed two to three thousand people. However, it had just started, and it had not yet formed any production scale, so it could not be counted for the time being.
Emperor Jinghe originally thought that the recruitment of workers promised by Liu Mingqi would take a year and a half to bear fruit.
?????????????????????????????????????? In just one month, the family has already expanded several times in size. The sugar workshop and papermaking workshop have solved the lives of thousands of families. This is a great thing!
Now he heard that sugar can also employ tens of thousands of people, of course he was overjoyed.
"But you are not hiring disaster victims, but nearby people. Will it cause some conflicts?" The emperor asked again: "After all, the victims are the ones who need work the most."
Liu Mingqi replied: "The victims will always leave. If they don't leave, it will be a serious burden on the capital. So I gave fixed jobs to the people outside the capital, but such as felling and transporting wood, transporting sugar cane and unloading, etc. All the work was handed over to them, and they worked enthusiastically for a day's work."
After thinking about it carefully, Emperor Jing He could only agree with Liu Mingqi's statement.
The burden on the capital cannot be increased any more.
With a sigh, the emperor changed the topic of joy again: "If your sugar business does well, will it also drive the income of sugarcane farmers in Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangnan, and even Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi to increase?"
"Of course!"
Liu Mingqi nodded and said, "Business can only do well if everyone in the industry chain benefits and everyone is good. If you are the only one who makes money and everyone else loses money, sooner or later one day you will lose both capital and profits." Spit it out!"
"Well, it's great that you think so." Emperor Jinghe smiled happily: "Mingqi, our royal family has naturally good conditions, so it is easy to make money. Can you think more about those hardworking people and give them Make more profits so that everyone can follow your example, then I will feel relieved."
The emperor is a good emperor.
¡°In his eyes, he definitely not only sees the clan, nobles and scholar-bureaucrats, but also the common people at the bottom who lack culture.
?????????? Otherwise, he would not have fought tooth and nail to provide disaster relief every time he encountered a disaster after he succeeded to the throne. Even if the national treasury and internal treasury were now equally empty, he would still strive to have as few losses and as few deaths as possible.
Liu Mingqi is the next generation of the royal family that he likes and values ????very much.
If Liu Mingqi can do business as he says, the emperor believes that he is a good role model and will lead the clan members to follow him, so that both fame and wealth can be harvested. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
As everyone knows, the young man is shaking his head in his heart.
The nature of capital is greedy, and there is absolutely no mercy. Their purpose is to earn every penny.
Even Dad, who has always flaunted himself, has suffered a serious setback in finance. How can others be immune?
The reason why Liu Mingqi can control it is because he comes from modern times and is fundamentally different from the people of this era.
He did this deliberately to make a profit, instead of following his instincts.
If someone else came to do this business, they would definitely not be as "foolish" as him.
The descendants of the clan may learn from Liu Mingqi in terms of morality and benevolence, but they will never learn from him in business.
¡°After all, you can still be a saint yourself.
But if you ask everyone to become a saint with you, then you are definitely a fool.
The emperor
He is indeed a naive emperor!

Note: According to Li Kaizhou's "Ancient China Shopping Guide", the price of a pound of white sugar during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty was 0.05 taels of silver, which was about 50 Wen per pound, but that was hundreds of years after the appearance of white sugar.
The Italian traveler Edoric once traveled in the Yuan Dynasty from 1322 to 1328. He wrote in his travel notes, "You can buy three pounds and eight ounces of sugar without spending half a silver coin." I did not find any data on Italian silver dollars. , according to the conversion of Dutch silver dollars and Spanish silver dollars in the 14th century, one silver dollar is about 30 grams. If it is less than half a silver coin, it is converted to about 80 wen per kilogram of white sugar.
Therefore, it is set that when white sugar was just invented, plus the transportation cost of sugar cane, the wholesale price of one pound of silver in Beijing was 1 tael of silver, which was slightly more expensive. It would be lowered after the production increased in the future. This is also in line with economic laws. The 20-fold increase in sales to the grassland is based on the price of salt, tea and iron sold to the border areas. If there is any lack of consideration, I hope you will correct me.
