There are only three or four sugar-pressing workshops in Suixi County, and the output is not very large. As for the color and taste, Uncle Ruan Gui thought about it, and it seems that it is not as good as Zhao Liya said. The quality should be not too pure.
As for white sugar, it should be completely gone.
After getting brown sugar, brown sugar, and then making white sugar, it was easy. Zhao Liya made up her mind and made this.
No one else has it, and if you make it, you will definitely make a lot of money.
If she were to do it alone, she wouldn't dare, but with Zai Hucun joining her, she felt relieved.
In the beginning, she would keep the sugar a secret and conceal its origins and transport it to the provincial capital for sale. While she was building up her fortune, she was looking for strong and reliable partners.
If one is not safe enough, then find two or three.
There are many people to facilitate checks and balances.
And Zaihu Village is her most solid backing.
In a large village with a population of nearly 2,000, I believe that not many people would want to provoke even the wealthy and wealthy merchants, right?
"Uncle Ruan Gui, we have decided to do this. When the time comes, we will plant sugar cane, manage the sugar cane fields, build a sugar pressing workshop, and recruit workers in the workshop. In addition to hiring a few people, I also want to hire people from Zaihu Village.
Where do you think the land is suitable for us to buy? My brother is the adopted son of my parents. He is a good citizen and can buy land freely."
Seeing that they had made up their minds, Uncle Ruan Gui could not persuade them any more. Zhao Liya said that he would hire people from Zaihu Village when the time came, which also made Uncle Ruan Gui a little tempted.
In this way, many needy families can make some money, which is also a good thing.
The people in Zaihu Village are down-to-earth and the Zhao family is kind. This is really the best thing.
"I wonder how much land you plan to buy? The wasteland here is not expensive, about twenty taels of silver per acre. There is a lot of wasteland near our village."
It is true that in Lingnan in this era, there are fewer people and more land. It is easy to buy land.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling looked at each other and smiled: "We plan to buy 500 acres first."
"How much!" Uncle Ruan Gui almost stopped sitting.
Zhao Liya: "Five hundred acres, I think since we are going to plant, we might as well plant a little more."
If you plant too little, you won’t make money, but you should plant more to build a scale, at least to make more money in the beginning.
Moreover, the more you plant and the more people you hire, the deeper your ties to Zaihu Village will be.
Uncle Ruan Gui couldn't help but gasped, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hey, don't blame me for being shocked. I have never heard anyone say that I want to buy so much land at once, so I don't want to be shocked."
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Uncle, can you buy it?"
"Yes, yes," Uncle Ruan Gui perked up and said, "I think it's okay. How about I take you to meet Li Zheng and the two clan heads of the Ruan and Li clans first?"
Since you want to buy land in Zaihu Village, you must of course get the consent of the Zhenghe clan in Zaihu Village.
Zhao Liya simply agreed, "Thank you very much, Uncle Ruan Gui!"
"Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome, I have to thank you, haha!"
Five hundred acres is not a small amount, so Mr. Ruan was worried and went with him, and the four of them went together.
Uncle Zheng Li and the two clan chiefs in Zaihu Village, as well as the three clan elders who heard that Li Zheng had guests here and invited the two clan elders to talk and come over to join in the fun, were all very happy after hearing what Zhao Liya said.
"Miss Zhao has such a good eye. There is a lot of land on the edge of our village. They are all good land. You can grow things as soon as you open it!"
"Yes, it would be more convenient to grow sugar cane!"
"Don't worry, Miss Zhao. Since you plan to hire people from our village to do work, we will definitely do a good job. If anyone is lazy, we won't forgive you even if you don't say anything."
"right!"
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling looked at each other and exchanged glances, both of them relieved.
"Thank you all, uncles and aunties. This matter is related to our family's wealth. My father has been feeling a little unwell recently. We cannot delay this matter, otherwise it will be delayed. So my brother and I
I just came here. Before I came, my father told me to think carefully and considerately. Fortunately, all the uncles and uncles were kind-hearted and willing to help me. I must think carefully and carefully. I want to go and see the place now. If
If it's appropriate, I'll go back and tell my dad and ask him to take a look tomorrow and we can make a decision, how about it?"
Zhao Liya was very satisfied in her heart, but as the boss, she couldn't let the people in Zaihu Village lead the way and let them do whatever they said, so she immediately agreed.
She was already young and easy to talk to. As time went by, it was hard to guarantee that these people would not become scornful of her and even try to manipulate her.
Maybe they may not have bad intentions from the beginning, but if they are too soft, can they blame others for taking advantage of them?
At that time, if you don't listen or obey, you might make them unhappy and unhappy.
This is not good for anyone.
She wants to make money and win them over to her side, but she doesn't want to divide them because of profit.
Therefore, her father must come and show up for this matter.
When Zhao Liya said this, Li Zheng and others naturally nodded in agreement and said, "It should be!", "That's how it should be!" and other words.
Originally, there were two clan elders who couldn't help but reveal their somewhat domineering nature when they were happy. They spoke aggressively and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, just leave it to us!" and "We can definitely get things done!"
, "Don't worry, we're here!" He also calmed down a bit at this time and didn't say any more generous words.
The next group of people went to see the place and walked out of the village for about half an hour. They found a large flat area covered with weeds and bushes, mixed with some large and small trees.
Moreover, the river that flows through Zaihu Village happens to flow here, so it is very convenient to divert water for irrigation.
The wild grass and trees in the south are especially lush. Cleaning them all up is no small task. Zhao Liya's scalp felt numb when she saw it.
Fortunately, the terrain is flat, which saves some trouble.
Zhao Liya walked around. She and Hu Ling were very satisfied, but they said that she didn't understand and that her father had to come and see it.
At this moment, the people in Zaihu Village suddenly became nervous, put on smiles and politely said countless good things.
Who wouldn’t want such a big project to fall on their own property?
The benefits of being on your own territory are obvious!
When Zhao Liya and Hu Ling went back, Uncle Ruan Gui and his son, as well as Li Zheng's eldest grandson Li Guangqing, insisted on sending them back in person and even used the Li Zheng family's ox cart.
Knowing that Zhao Liya wanted sweet potato vines and tomatoes, Li Zheng casually gave orders and after a while, many people sent them.
The result was a basket full of tomatoes and several bundles of sweet potato vines...
Li Zheng also said: "If it's not enough, there will be more!" This chapter has been completed!
