Gu Qingcheng reached a deal with Liming Zhu, and not only took away the huge sugar cane forest, but also received a steady stream of sugar cane from Li Bu.
With sufficient sugar cane, Gu Qingcheng started the sugar production business.
She selected a dozen people from the group and opened a small workshop in Wubao.
The first thing to be cooked is the primary product - brown sugar, brown sugar.
Then, the brown sugar was further processed to obtain white sugar as white as snow and as fine as sand.
There is also crystal clear rock candy that is more durable.
Gu Qingcheng transported the sugar to the capitals of Luozhou and other surrounding counties and sold it at extremely high prices.
When he heard about the selling price, the fact that it was being snatched up at such a high price, the well-informed Gu Heng was a little surprised.
"How can this thing be so profitable?"
This, like wine, is a luxury product belonging to the nobles.
Ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
As for the aristocratic families and the powerful, in order to try new things and to be in a class, they would not be stingy with copper coins at all.
So, Gu Qingcheng relied on sugar and successfully harvested a large wave of super giant leeks.
"Lingnan is still a bit remote. If it were in Jiankang or Pingcheng in the Northern Dynasties, the price would be even higher!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't think it was enough, so she said with a hint of regret.
Luxury goods should be sold in the most prosperous places.
The same brown sugar and white sugar are definitely priced at two different prices in Lingnan and in the capital.
Gu Heng had served as Zhongshu Ling and was also knowledgeable about economics.
He nodded, "Aqing is right! If that's the case, then send someone back to Jiankang!"
There are also people from the Gu clan in Jiankang, as well as Gu's in-laws.
If you want to open a hugely profitable shop in a place like Jiankang, where powerful people gather, you must have enough backers.
Fortunately, the Gu family is an old southern clan with deep roots and flourishing branches.
In-laws are all over Jiankang.
A small sugar-buying business can still be saved.
"Okay, follow Aweng's arrangements!"
Gu Qingcheng had made a decision early in the morning, but in front of his grandfather, he still looked like a good boy.
Gu Heng laughed and nodded at Gu Qingcheng lovingly, "You! Naughty!"
However, Gu Qingcheng came up with candy again, which further proved her ability.
And her interactions with Li Bu also made Gu Heng very satisfied - those who want to do great things should be broad-minded and have a broad vision.
What alien race? What barbarians?
If it can be used by me and controlled by me, that is an excellent help!
As a true son of an aristocratic family and a scholar-bureaucrat, Gu Heng had traditional and simple thoughts - caring for the world and educating all people!
The reason why barbarians are barbarians is that they do not study and do not understand etiquette.
As long as they are educated and understand what etiquette and music are, they will be good people under their rule.
If Gu Qingcheng had not shown his ambition, according to Gu Heng's idea, after he came to Lingnan, he would open a college to educate the people!
And the people he identified were not just the people at the foot of the mountain, but also the hidden mountain people.
To be honest, civilizing the barbarians is actually more fulfilling.
It's a pity that my granddaughter is not an ordinary little girl. She has great ambitions to compete in the world.
As a good old man, Gu Heng naturally couldn't ignore it.
Let’s put aside what it means to educate the people. It’s more important to help Aqing grow step by step first!
Gu Qingcheng selected people and quietly returned to Jiankang.
The Gu clan members in Jiankang did not dare to slack off after receiving Gu Heng's handwritten letter.
Furthermore, opening a shop and selling sugar is a hugely profitable business, and as a clan member, you can also share part of the profits.
Regardless of the family, just for the actual copper coins, the clan members will go all out.
Salt and sugar, two of the most violent industries, are controlled by the Gu family.
People who originally thought that the Gu family would decline also realized that the Gu family was still the same Gu family.
Even if the head of the family, Gu Heng, is exiled, the children of the Gu family will not remain silent.
Not to mention, Gu Yi went to the Northern Dynasties and was said to be quite popular.
The Gu family cannot fail!
The side branches of the Gu family, the in-laws, also seemed to be encouraged and helped more and more wholeheartedly.
Even Chen Jing, who had stolen the Xiao family's empire, heard everything about the Gu family while staying in the palace.
"Gu Heng, an old man, does have some tricks up his sleeve!"
"It's ridiculous that in order to deceive others, they deliberately used the name of a girl!"
"Gu Qing? A nine-year-old girl who is still childish and still young, can actually become the person in charge of the Gu family?"
Chen Jing listened to the eunuch's reply and looked at the memorial in his hand.
He simply didn't believe that these actions of the Gu family were the work of a girl.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Should I thank you for underestimating my enemy and giving me room to grow; or should I still spurn your contempt and not regard me as an opponent?
No matter what happened in Beijing, Gu Qingcheng still developed step by step according to his own plan.
The people sent to Jiaozhou came back one after another, and they were not sure what Champa rice was.
They used a rather clumsy method, which was to bring back all the rice seeds they found in the wild.
Gu Qingcheng led the old farmers to experiment one by one, cutting and crossing again and again.
It was not until the fourth year that I finally obtained a relatively stable, drought-resistant and high-yielding rice seed.
Gu Heng was overjoyed and personally sent people to take the rice seeds to Jiankang.
Large areas of cultivation have been carried out here in Lingnan, and experiments are also needed on the health side.
Due to the hugely profitable businesses such as salt and sugar, the Gu family branched out and many in-laws became more and more closely related to the Gu family.
Even Chen Jing's family and confidants began to cooperate with the Gu family.
Although Gu Qingcheng was far away in Lingnan, he used caravans, copper coins, etc. to open a way and penetrated bit by bit.
Thirteen-year-old Gu Qingcheng already has the appearance of a girl.
She became more and more beautiful and beautiful.
Although she is not a great beauty, she is still a little beauty that everyone praises.
Moreover, as his appearance grew longer and longer, people around him finally determined who Gu Qingcheng looked like——
There are shadows of his father Gu Yi, but more like Mr. Xiao!
No, to be precise, she looks like Xiao's mother, Queen Shengde of the previous dynasty.
That is also a legendary woman.
She was originally a daughter of a declining family, but she had a keen eye for choosing Emperor Gaozu, the son of a military general.
Queen Shotoku married down, after all, in her time, it was a rule that "gentlemen and common people should not marry."
Many aristocratic families directly scolded her for "lowering herself".
But who could have imagined that one day the late emperor would raise an army and seize the country.
The daughter of a down-and-out family who was once criticized by others suddenly transformed into the mother of the country.
Since then, no one has ridiculed Queen Shengde, but instead praised her for her foresight.
Gu Qingcheng:...This is the so-called winner and loser.
However, Gu Qingcheng is quite happy that she looks like her grandmother.
Empress Shotoku is not only famous for her "venomous vision", but also for her appearance and her intelligence.
Queen Shōtoku and Emperor Gaozu have been married for more than thirty years and have three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son is the emperor, and the eldest grandson is also the emperor.
Although there were also concubines and concubines, the children that Emperor Gaozu valued most were always the children of Queen Shengde.
She loved Xiao's only daughter like a treasure.
It can be said that Queen Shengde has achieved the ultimate in being a woman. It can also be called perfect.
In her previous life, Gu Qingcheng may not have looked like Queen Shengde, but her life trajectory was very much like her grandmother's.
The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager...
However, in this life, Gu Qingcheng looks very much like Queen Shengde, but she will not follow this old path again!
"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, I think you can put all of this aside! You'd better do a mission!"
The water of misfortune squats in the depths of the sea of consciousness, waiting until the flowers wither.
Four years!
A full four years!
Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is really able to keep her composure.
I was reminded of the disaster more than once, and sometimes I really didn't hesitate to throw a tantrum, cry and beg, but in the end, I was not moved at all.
When it’s time to cultivate good seeds, cultivate good seeds, and when it’s time to have a deep relationship with the sisters, Liming Zhu, interact affectionately...
Huoshui felt that Gu Qingcheng might have forgotten that he was bound to a system.
Thinking about it, Gu Qingcheng has become more beautiful, and her great career in this world is also progressing in full swing.
The mission world doesn't seem that attractive to her.
"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, actually, you can become even more beautiful!"
"Don't you like to enhance your appearance the most?"
"In the mission world, you pursue the ultimate beauty. In your own world, you should pursue it even more."
"...Also, how can it be enough to just be a king? Don't you want to live forever?"
In order to seduce Gu Qingcheng, Huoshui risked his life and even brought out the "immortality".
Gu Qingcheng was touched by those words. She nodded, "Okay! Then let's do a task!"
