With the first batch of workers "training", the second batch of workers quickly adapted to the sugar making process.
Sugar cane is being consumed rapidly, and the sugar production that day reached 1,800 kilograms!
Liang Xiao soon noticed that the sugar yield rate of the Bai family's sugar cane was only one-fifth, and the sugar yield rate of the Dingguo Hou Mansion was only slightly lower.
But right now he doesn't have enough capital to monopolize the sugar cane business.
With one tael of silver and food and accommodation included, the treatment of these workers is no less than that of ordinary workers in the capital.
Fortunately, Liang Xiao's sugar was selling like hotcakes, and the labor cost, together with the cost of custom-made appliances and the land, had been fully recovered.
Looking at the white sugar, Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Bai He must be so anxious now that he will ask Dingguo Hou Mansion to continue to raise the price of sugar cane."
However, Liang Xiao had no psychological burden.
Sugar cane is not affordable for ordinary people to begin with.
Even the common people in the capital can only occasionally buy one or two to satisfy their cravings.
In the past, the main role of sugar cane was to supply dignitaries for enjoyment, or to make "stone honey".
Liang Xiao could already imagine that Shi Mi's market would be plundered by his sugar market in the future.
Fortunately, Dingguo Houfu does not operate the Shimi market, so he does not have to worry about competing with Mu Qinxue for the market.
Mu Qinxue is indeed recognized as the most extraordinary woman in the capital. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she even has good skills in doing business.
Just when Liang Xiao was thinking, Jiang Fuxue beside him said: "Brother, Xue'er discovered that some workers may have some thoughts."
"What are you thinking?" Liang Xiao was stunned and smiled, "Xue'er is also worried that they will find ways to leak the secret. After all, every worker has witnessed part of the sugar production process and can probably guess the cost."
Jiang Fuxue nodded seriously and said: "Xue'er knows that my brother is good to the workers, but..."
Liang Xiao comforted him: "That's why I signed a contract with them and explained the rules clearly. Then, they will be taken care of by a dedicated person. I will tell them the interests in a persuasive way."
"Xue'er wants to tell them: Only by following their brother can they live a good life. They must not destroy their future because of temporary greed." Jiang Fuxue said seriously, while Liang Xiao's attention was still on the sugar, he turned to
He turned around and took out a few slices of onions from the purse at his waist.
Liang Xiao caressed Jiang Fuxue's little head happily and praised: "Xue'er is so sensible at a young age and can speak well. She has a bright future. But you are still a child. You should eat well, drink well, stay healthy, and read more.
I will be a talented woman in the future..."
"Now is a critical period for my brother to start his own business. Xue'er wants to help him more, instead of being like a caged bird, just watching his brother work hard and worrying. My brother has given Xue'er a home, and Xue'er also wants her brother to feel the warmth of home.
!”
With the help of the power of onions, Jiang Fuxue burst into tears and began to cry.
Liang Xiao immediately softened his heart and comforted him: "Du Yi Xue'er, but you must not let go of your efforts, and you must pay attention to safety, let alone teach workers to affect your work, rest and diet."
Jiang Fuxue then wiped her tears and agreed obediently.
Back at home, Jiang Fuxue pinched the onions and said to her grandma who was following her: "This thing is so useful, brother must not know about it, right? Grandma, I am so anxious to remind Gongsun Ling to prepare more for me!"
Grandma nodded and said happily: "I can't believe that the young master has such a pattern of giving profits to the Gongsun family. Originally, Gongsun Ling was just following the order of the young lady to take care of the young master's business. Unexpectedly, the young master can actually make the Gongsun family make steady profits without losing money.
It’s deeply rooted in people’s hearts once and for all.”
"That's because my brother is so good, Gongsun Ling got the glory~" Jiang Fuxue looked proud, then thought of something, and reminded, "It's time to bring some people in, so that my brother won't have to run around alone. By the way, take that
Lin Duan and Mu Qinxue both lied here, I don’t care what their identities are!"
Workers work day and night to produce sugar.
Liang Xiao began to recruit some accountants and errand boys.
"Without your own direct team, it will be really difficult to move forward in this capital."
Looking at the various applicants, Liang Xiao finally got a taste of it.
In ancient times under the influence of the patriarchal system, family industries were relatively more stable, and having kinship relationships often provided an extra layer of protection.
It's a pity that the former Lanling Marquis Mansion has fallen and scattered.
But no matter what, he must cultivate his own team!
This was also the reason why he did not reject the empress's kindness.
Perhaps, the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be mutually beneficial to him, and he can ensure that his actions are justified.
Of course, he couldn't place all his hopes on the empress.
It is also a good choice to train his own team from these refugees who have taken refuge with him.
First, you have to take good care of their relatives.
In order to give these worker families a sense of belonging and sufficient loyalty, he has provided each household with one meal of meat a day for three consecutive days, and the effect is remarkable.
Not long ago, these working-class families still had refugees who had no time to go to bed. Now that they have received such a favor, they regard Liang Xiao as a god and work harder than ordinary workers in the capital.
Because there is no need to farm, these workers and their families stay at home except during working hours, behave themselves, and are always waiting for Liang Xiao's orders.
One hundred families live in the outer courtyard of Liang Mansion and in several newly bought houses by Liang Xiao next to Liang Mansion. The guards can keep an eye on the situation at any time.
Of course, unless one or two workers from each process run out and someone else has the equipment, it is possible to completely reveal his sugar-making process.
Because he has not yet obtained the privileges of imperial merchants, Liang Xiao does not plan to recruit workers from the refugees on a large scale to avoid being falsely accused of plotting rebellion and raising dead soldiers.
Of the 1,800 kilograms of sugar, 800 kilograms were kept by Liang Xiao as inventory.
Sugarcane can still be harvested for at least two months. Once these two months have passed, sugar will lose its raw material.
At that time, workers will need to temporarily transform.
One thousand kilograms of white sugar was put on the market, and it was swept away by the Dingguo Marquis Mansion that day.
"Is it Dingguohou Mansion again?"
The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, which had been waiting for a long time, was very angry when looking at the fully loaded carriage of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion returning.
This is the third time that Dingguo Houfu has cleared out Liang Xiao’s sugar supply.
As long as the Dingguo Hou Mansion needed it, Liang Xiao allowed them to clear it out.
The Duke of Dingguo also keenly sensed the business opportunities in white sugar, but due to his promise to Liang Xiao, he only resold one thousand kilograms of white sugar bought at the market.
The sugar Mu Qinxue purchased privately from Liang Xiao was not resold but used to make pastries.
It has only been seven days since white sugar appeared in the world, and a new industrial chain has gradually formed in Beijing because of white sugar.
"Seeing Liang Xiao get rich is more uncomfortable than killing me!"
As Liang Xiao expected, Bai He was already anxious at home.
