Wen Jin changed out of the clothes he had worn while working and took a shower and changed clothes.
She entered the space again, and sure enough!
The sugar cane in the first two rows is basically mature!
"It seems that the land in space has more spiritual power!"
Wen Jin broke off the first two rows of sugarcane buds and stored them in a shallow water tank for soaking buds as sugarcane seedlings to be planted.
She pulled up two sugar cane trees and left the space.
She whittled one for herself and cut off a section.
What she peeled was purple-skinned sugar cane. When she peeled it, she felt something was different. The sugar cane was too juicy, with thin skin and crispy flesh.
As soon as the purple peel is peeled off, the sweet taste of sugar cane hits your face.
The sweetness was so intense that it was sweeter than the latest varieties of sugar cane she had ever tasted in modern times.
She "clicked" and took a bite.
The fiber of sugar cane is actually not that thick, the juice explodes in the mouth, and the pure sweet taste makes every taste bud on the tongue feel happy.
Wen Jin's eyes sparkled with stars.
Even though she had expected it, she still couldn't contain her excitement.
“Better than expected!”
But she quickly calmed down, "Sugar cane grows well in space, but I don't know if the seedlings we cultivated can grow so well outside!"
The growth cycle of a crop takes at least several months.
She couldn't just gamble on luck, she had to find a way to ensure that the sugar cane seedlings would grow well outside!
"Come here!" Wen Jin called out, "ask the emperor to come."
Xiao Yuchen was in the imperial study room, listening to Tianguan Dazai, the finance minister in charge of the treasury, reporting on the treasury's revenue and expenditure.
The country of Chen next door was not wealthy, but its folk customs were fierce and its people had bad tempers.
There are frequent conflicts on the border between the two countries.
Although the two countries are currently in a general direction and there is no war, Liang's military expenditure is not small!
Don’t dare to cut military spending rashly, otherwise, the wolf will turn into a toothless fat sheep.
Xiao Yuchen is thinking about the issue of treasury food and salary.
The eunuch whispered in his ear that the queen was invited.
He immediately waved his hand and told Tianguan Dazai to step back.
Xiao Yuchen rubbed his forehead and said, "Tell the queen, don't worry, I will pave the way for her."
Xiao Yuchen asked someone to go back to Wen Jin first.
He asked someone to sort out the account books of his private treasury and followed closely.
"Your Majesty, please try this."
As soon as he arrived, Wen Jin placed a plate of sugar cane with the purple skin peeled off and cut into small pieces.
The sugar cane looks fresh and white.
A fresh and sweet smell hit his face.
But Xiao Yuchen's attention was not on the sugar cane at all.
He looked at Wen Jin with concern, "Don't worry, even though I have issued a 'military order', how could I let you lose?"
"My warehouse is still at your disposal just like it was when I was in the palace!"
He put the account list of the emperor's private treasury, as well as the key and his private seal, in a box and pushed it to her.
Wen Jin smiled slightly and pushed back.
"You..." Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly.
"How can it be the same as when we were in the palace? There are internal servants in the palace who specialize in finance, and my concubines are working on behalf of others. What do you want them to do?" Wen Jin said.
Xiao Yuchen held her hand and waved to tell the palace people to step back.
He looked into her eyes, "Even I listen to you, my servant, who dares not to listen to you?"
Even though they were an old couple, his affectionate words still made her face heat up.
Fortunately, everyone in the palace was asked to retreat.
Otherwise, if anyone hears her words, she will really be accused of being a "female chicken Si Chen".
Wen Jin glared at him, "I have money! The wealth you had when you were in the palace is still in my hands! In addition, I also have income, the money from selling medicine, the income from the medicine shop, Yingxiang's business... "
"But the wealth should not be exposed. I won't tell those ministers how rich I am!"
Seeing that Xiao Yuchen still didn't believe it, Wen Jin had no choice but to ask Banxia to take out her account book and show it to him.
Xiao Yuchen flipped through the account books one by one...
When he looked at Wen Jin again, his eyes changed.
"Hey! What a small treasury!" Xiao Yuchen exclaimed, "How can you earn so much? And I don't know about it? No wonder you dare to bet with those ministers, you are confident!"
Wen Jin glanced at him and said, "No, these are not my confidence."
Xiao Yuchen looked happy when he heard this and asked deliberately, "Then what is the Queen's confidence?"
He asked while raising his chin... just shy of writing "It's me, it's me" on his face!
Wen Jin didn't answer, picked up a piece of sugar cane and said, "Open your mouth."
Xiao Yuchen looked at her without opening his mouth or speaking.
Wen Jin said, "My confidence is with the Emperor!"
Xiao Yuchen then opened his mouth, took the sugar cane in his mouth, and sucked her fingertips.
"So sweet..." he said, looking at her hands.
Wen Jin's heart skipped a beat and his cheeks turned slightly red.
"Eh... don't swallow!"
Wen Jin said while showing him the correct way to eat sugar cane.
"Suck it dry and spit out the fiber."
Xiao Yuchen took a bite and his eyes widened, "This!"
How could it be so sweet? !
Every hair on his body seemed to be shouting, "It's so sweet, so sweet..."
He is the former prince! Today’s Holy One! The most noble person in the world!
It was the first time in his life that he had eaten something so sweet and mellow.
This is simply sweeter than the honey in the palace.
The sweetness of honey is sweet and greasy.
He doesn't like sweets and doesn't eat much honey.
But the "snow-white lumps" Wen Jin gave him were sweet but not greasy, and the juice was sweet and refreshing. It had a fresh taste that he had never had before.
He followed Wen Jin's example and spit out the last remaining coarse fibers.
"What is this? Why have I never eaten it?"
Wen Jin smiled and said, "This thing is sugar cane!"
"It's impossible... right?" His tone suddenly became uncertain.
It seems that everything will become different when it is in her hands!
He couldn't help but think of the courgettes and tomatoes he ate in her yard...
"This is fruit sugar cane, as well as green sugar cane that is specially used to make sugar." Wen Jin talked about his plan. "Officials can be sent to places suitable for growing sugar cane and teach local people how to grow sugar cane. The government is responsible for harvesting it. In the early stage, , when the production was not high, it was sold as a high-end fruit to the noble class at a high price."
"When the production volume increases in the future, we will lower the price and start to increase the volume as a mass fruit."
"Nowadays, people are often sallow and thin, and sugar is a direct source of energy for human body functions. People will have more strength after eating sweets and sucrose. Whether they are fighting or doing farm work, they will be more energetic and efficient. !”
"The other three countries will also need this fruit. Moreover, sugar cane is easy to store and resistant to transportation."
"At the beginning, we can use the sugar-making process as a secret recipe to increase the price. After sugar becomes popular within a certain range, we can popularize the volume."
Xiao Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, "Jin'er, I have a feeling..."
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "What? You don't think it's possible?"
Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "I feel... you don't belong to this era, you seem to be from a higher era..."
Wen Jin was startled at first, and then she chuckled, "Then are you afraid of me?"
Xiao Yuchen looked at her deeply and said, "You deserve... to be cherished and treated better."
Um?
Wen Jin looked at him confused, thinking he meant something, but he refused to continue.
"Is there any more? This good thing should be given to the Empress Dowager and Queen Mother to try! Let them feel at ease!"
"And your plan! Decide on the candidates now and get started!"
Xiao Yuchen accepted it quickly, and he is really an action man!
