King Ji likes sweets, and as we all know, Qin Feng's gift was truly delivered.
And... even a fool can tell that Qin Feng's offering is fake, but the gift of money is real!
Nowadays, the sucrose production area has been damaged, and sugar frosting has been sold for five taels of silver or one tael. This white sugar is not much better than sugar frosting. One kilogram is worth hundreds of taels of silver anyway. Just such a sack of sugar given by Qin Feng weighs twenty or thirty kilograms, which is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.
Even if King Ji could eat sweets, he would not be able to eat them as food. The remaining sugar could be directly converted into cash.
Qin Feng didn't need much. Giving him one hundred kilograms of sugar every year was equivalent to giving tens of thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, the saint couldn't find fault with it. How could King Ji not like it?
Li Rui gritted his teeth secretly: "Why did this damn Qin Feng suddenly become so shrewd? Where did he give the candy? What he gave was clearly a human touch!"
Qin Tianhu hated bribery the most in his life, but Qin Feng's mysterious operation made Qin Tianhu dumbfounded. It can not only win over King Ji, but also avoid falling into the blame. I was wise and upright throughout my life, so why did I give birth to a son with the potential to be a traitor?
Delivering the sugar is only the first step, the second step is the most important. Qin Feng quickly turned around and shouted to everyone present: "There is still some sugar in stock in the lower house. If you are interested, you can go to Qin's house to discuss with my sister Hongyan Buy it. The icing sugar is one, two and a half taels of silver, and the white sugar is not much more than 500 taels per pound, right? The price is absolutely fair, and you can be honest."
Five hundred taels per catty? Although everyone knows that white sugar is good, the price is too outrageous.
What family can afford such luxury?
Qin Feng immediately added: "As far as I know, the cane sugar producing area selects 500 kilograms of the best quality icing sugar every year and pays tribute to the palace. It is estimated that the palace has almost consumed all the icing sugar, and I don't know if the producing area can pay tribute to the icing sugar as scheduled this year. I don’t know when the saint will be able to taste this white sugar..."
Everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up!
Now there is no sugar in the palace. If you can deliver the sugar to the palace first, even if your name is remembered by the saint, it will be a great merit.
Everyone at the scene rushed up.
"Mr. Qin, how much sugar does your house still have? Is it a hundred pounds? I'll make a reservation first!"
"Get started, I want five hundred pounds!"
"Five hundred kilograms? How dare you ask? Mr. Qin, I will cover all the sugar you have. From now on, the next person will take care of all the sugar needs in the palace."
Qin Feng had never thought that sugar could be sold, but he never thought it would be such a sensation. The corners of his mouth almost reached the sky, and he quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
He suppressed his smile, but still couldn't help but bubbling with joy: "Don't worry, today is the birthday of King Ji, so we should first congratulate him on his birthday. As for buying sugar, just send the servants to meet my sister. Just get in touch.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone called their servants and sent them to the Qin Mansion impatiently.
Li Rui and Cheng Fa looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. They wanted to take this opportunity to discredit the Qin family, but things turned out completely beyond expectations. This damn Qin Feng is not only shameless, but also reckless, and he actually started doing business in Prince Ji's Mansion. It's just that... King Ji has benefited, so how can he blame Qin Feng?
At this juncture, Li Rui discovered that Wu Yong had also called the servants, and threw away his sleeves angrily.
Wu Yong naturally hated Qin Feng, but he couldn't miss the opportunity to show his face in front of the saint. He quickly whispered to his servant: "Go and buy a hundred kilograms of sugar and send someone to deliver it." In the palace, we must come out on top! This time I will take advantage of that bastard Qin Feng, hurry up!"
Qin Feng's face was full of pleasure. Look at this posture. Not to mention the small inventory at home, I am afraid that the scheduled shipment will be queued for several months. The sound of jingling money kept echoing in Qin Feng's ears. This time, it’s hard for Bai Tang to be popular! The sugar tycoon of Daliang Kingdom was none other than himself. When he thought of this, Qin Feng giggled.
As a result, he was kicked hard on the butt. When he turned around, he found that Qin Tianhu had come to him out of nowhere, with an expression on his face that he wanted to eat someone.
"You brat, did you really refine the sugar? Are you talking nonsense again? If the commotion becomes too big and nothing can be produced, the entire Qin Mansion will be implicated in you."
Qin Feng rubbed his butt and looked aggrieved: "Dad, in front of so many people, can you save some face for me? No matter what, I... cough cough cough."
Seeing Qin Tianhu raise his big tiger claw-like hand, Qin Feng shrank his neck in fear and did not dare to say more: "The sugar is indeed refined by children, and my sister knew about it all the time."
Qin Tianhu naturally didn't believe Qin Feng, but if even that girl Liu Hongyan was involved, there was no need to worry anymore. As for the method of refining white sugar, I am afraid that Qin Feng learned it from the so-called "Tiangong Kaiwu".
Qin Tianhu did not go into details, but his eyes changed, and he said seriously: "Now that the national treasury is tight, you are amassing money in public. If the saint knows about it, how can he spare you? Five hundred taels per catty? You really dare to ask for a price. I have been on the battlefield for many years. I don’t even have the courage like you. How about this, sugar is priced at ten taels of silver per tael, which is twice as high as sugar frost.”
Hearing this, Qin Feng rolled his eyes, thinking that his father was at ease in court and on the battlefield, but unfortunately he was not a business material at all. Ten taels of silver and one tael? Qin Feng would rather throw it all away than sell it. The profit is too low, and Qin Feng has no interest at all. Otherwise, if he has this spare time, it would be more practical to trap a few more dandies.
"Dad, don't worry about this. I know what's going on."
Seeing that Qin Feng refused to lower the price, Qin Tianhu was ready to be tough, but as soon as he raised his hand, Qin Feng greased the soles of his feet and ran away. Seeing Qin Feng jumping up and down, Qin Tianhu couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to have such a son in the Qin family."
Although Qin Feng almost caused chaos in Prince Ji's Mansion, everything finally returned to normal and the banquet started normally.
King Ji and the ministers of the court drank wine and talked happily, complimenting each other. Even the prince and ministers are like this, and the remaining guests are naturally not much better.
Qin Feng never liked such occasions, so he grabbed a handful of peanuts from the table, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and left. Since he had made money, he was in a good mood. He was smacking peanuts and humming a tune, and unknowingly came to the side courtyard. .
The scenery of this side courtyard is extremely beautiful, with rockeries, flowing water, and colorful flowers. Even birds and butterflies fall into it. Compared with the hypocritical main courtyard where people exchange cups and cups, it is simply a paradise.
Qin Feng threw peanut shells randomly while strolling among the flowers.
At this moment, an uninvited guest broke into the main courtyard, a pair of fierce eyes looking around, looking for something.
