Ming Dynasty: Huddle in Beiping County as Magistrate Text Volume Chapter 178 Don’t buy it? Give us an increase of one hundred taels!Latest website: “But you found that carrot?”
Guo An asked hurriedly.
Xu Yun said: "Back to Guo Changshi, the stewards sent by the lower officials did not recognize the candy...carrot.
But the following stewards were afraid of missing the carrot that Chang Shi was talking about, so they simply brought back all the things they encountered that grew in the soil and were related to or resembled radishes.
There are so many of them, there are so many of them, it takes a long time to identify them!"
"Let's go!"
Guo An stood up directly and walked out.
Behind him, Xu Yun hurriedly followed.
"Guo Changshi, please..."
In a courtyard outside the Yan Palace, more than a dozen stewards were standing in front of baskets of various plants and vegetables, waiting expectantly.
Seeing Guo An come in, all the stewards quickly saluted.
"Young man, please see Guo Changshi!"
"Everyone, please get up."
Guo An nodded slightly and looked directly at the pile of vegetables at the feet of everyone. They were all vegetables and plants buried in the soil.
He even saw white radish and carrots.
After that, there is a purple-red radish-like plant with a root as big as a child's fist, and the leaves are somewhat similar to white radish leaves.
Guo An's face lit up, he picked up one, pulled off the dry soil on it with his hands, wiped it on his clothes twice, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Sweet, really sweet!
Guo An's eyes lit up, and he handed the half he bitten directly to Xu Yun behind him, "Try it, is it juicy and sweet?"
Since arriving in Daming, Guo An has not had a big bite of candy for a long time.
Therefore, he is afraid that there will be a problem with his sense of taste and that even the slightest bit of sweetness will taste too sweet.
Xu Yun looked at the carrot that had been stuffed in his hand and saw several obvious tooth marks on it, and his face froze.
However, feeling Guo Changshi's burning gaze, Xu Yun felt cruel, closed his eyes, and took a big bite.
"Alas, you..."
Seeing this, Guo An couldn't help but look disgusted, "Why did you bite the place I bitten? There is such a big place around it..."
Xu Yun: "..."
"Okay, okay, if you bite, just bite."
Guo An said helplessly, then asked: "How is it, is it sweet?"
After hearing this, Xu Yun finally remembered the business, chewed hard a few times, and grinned with surprise on his face.
"Long history, this thing is very sweet."
"Very good."
Guo An's face was overjoyed, "You all give us orders to go down. Those caravan stewards who are buying wool from all over the world will buy this thing for us. No matter how much there is, they will buy it for us."
"Yes, Guo Changshi."
All the stewards responded and walked away quickly.
Xu Yun asked hesitantly: "Chang Shi, can this thing really make sugar?"
"You won't know until you try it whether it works or not."
Guo An glanced at it and said, "Bring us ten carrots in a moment. We want to take them back."
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
……
Now, the Gongzheng Institute of Prince Yan's Mansion has developed into a behemoth.
I don’t know how many people and caravans were eating under the work center of Prince Yan’s mansion.
Therefore, as Guo An's order was passed down, at least hundreds of caravans began to take action.
Now, Zhu Di doesn't look for Guo An much. He seems to be taking his eldest son with him all day long, listening to Luo Jishan telling historical stories, or reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
However, Zhu Di readily agreed to some of the requests that Guo An occasionally submitted.
At the same time, Guo An became completely busy.
The farm needs to be expanded, the glass greenhouse needs to be built, and the circle of markets and houses around the academy have begun to be completed and rented, or the Yan Palace will send them to take care of it themselves, as well as cement workshops, glass workshops, gunpowder workshops...
…
For a month, Guo An didn't have a good rest.
Finally, as it snows heavily in Beiping, Guo An can take a breath.
Academy Library Pavilion, sixth floor.
Guo An and Jin Zhong stood side by side. The white snow was falling outside the building, and the vast whiteness made people feel relaxed and happy.
However, at this moment, the two of them were not looking at the snowy sky, but at the rows of shops at the gate of the academy and the surrounding rows of houses.
Guo An looked happy, while Jin Zhong looked worried.
"Guo Changshi, I have built a total of 300 houses around here in the past few months.
However, even though half a month has passed, no one has bought it."
"No one asked?" Guo An asked.
"Back to Changshi, a few people came to ask, but when they heard the price, their expressions changed drastically, and they said you... and finally left with anger on their faces." Jin Zhong said with a look of fear. p>
"Are we crazy about money?"
Guo An sneered, not annoyed at all.
Jin Zhong said quickly: "Don't blame me, those merchants are a bunch of iron roosters. The money in their pockets can only go in but not out..."
"It doesn't matter, since ancient times, those who have not been envied by others are mediocre."
Guo An waved his hand generously and said: "Let us know tomorrow that each house will be increased by one hundred taels."
"Ah?"
Jin Zhong's eyes widened.
"Guo Changshi, I'm sorry for my words, but they don't want these houses for a hundred taels of silver. If the price goes up to another hundred taels of silver, they won't even want it."
"Then let's keep going up."
Guo An chuckled.
"Is it still going up?" Jin Zhong couldn't help but look surprised and confused.
Guo An chuckled and said: "What are you afraid of? How many taels of silver did we use to build these houses?"
