This time, for sugar, shopkeepers from all over the country did not have a freight team waiting to come out of Yunning County.
They took the initiative and came to Yunning County first.
When they saw Wen Shengjun, they eagerly said, "Don't bother Mr. Wen to send a delivery team. We will pick up the goods ourselves."
"We have already hired a bodyguard. We don't need to trouble Mr. Wen to worry about safety along the way."
The early bird gets the worm, the early shopkeeper gets the candy!
The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw the snow-white candy.
"Oh my God! What is this? Snowflake candy?"
Wen Shengjun asked people to take samples and give them to the shopkeepers who came to taste.
The shopkeepers put the sugar in their mouths and it melted on their tongues.
"So sweet!"
"This tastes better than honey!"
"If this sugar is added to tea or milk, the taste will be..."
"And pastries!"
Shopkeepers' vision is different from that of ordinary people.
Most of the people they associate with are dignitaries.
Tea, milk, and cakes are things that ordinary people cannot afford.
They are all expensive gadgets for dignitaries.
Wen Shengjun nodded slightly... The empress put these things into the market.
Through the "rare things are valuable" and the vanity mentality of the dignitaries, they made money.
Then use the money earned to invest in free basic education.
Let common people, even children from poor families, be able to go to school and read books... This completes a money cycle and forms a perfect circle.
He finally understood what his husband said, "A gentleman is not infatuated with yellow and white vulgar things, but he also does not regard money as a scourge. He should take the world as his heart..."
Money is neither good nor evil, it only depends on the purpose of the person who uses the money.
Are you a slave to money or a master of money?
Wen Shengjun deeply understood Wen Jin's intentions.
He finally understood deeply that when Wen Jin and his ministers issued military orders, they had probably put their personal reputation, honor and disgrace aside.
She didn't care about how the literati's pen and ink would judge her, a queen who was "obsessed with the ways of merchants" and had eyes for money...
She just wants to fight for opportunities for women in the world. Create better conditions for children from poor families.
A force born from within shook Wen Shengjun's heart.
After thinking for a while, he asked someone to bring another kind of candy.
This kind of candy is packed in an autumn-colored porcelain jar. Autumn porcelain is good, but it is not as expensive and delicate as pink porcelain.
The big shopkeepers were curious, "What is this? Is it also candy?"
Wen Shengjun said, "Please open it and take a look."
When everyone opened it, they found that it was also crystallized sugar, but the color was not as white and translucent as the one in the pink porcelain jar just now.
This sugar is slightly yellow, and smells like the sweetness of sugar cane, but it doesn't have that faint floral fragrance.
"Try it and see." Wen Shengjun said.
Everyone dug out some with spoons.
"Hmm... sweet!" The shopkeepers nodded, "It's just..."
With the fine white snowflake sugar in front, this "yellow sugar" is not so amazing.
"It's also good candy, something I've never seen before! But compared to the snow-white candy just now, it's just a little bit inferior..."
The shopkeepers nodded.
Wen Shengjun said, "If there is no white sugar, how much is this 'brown sugar' worth?"
"It's also a rare item. It should be priced the same as honey!" the shopkeeper said.
Wen Shengjun asked again, "Compared with brown sugar, how much is snow-white sugar worth?"
The shopkeepers hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly, a shopkeeper understood. He patted his thigh and said, "Oh! Since there is brown sugar for comparison, the value of white sugar should naturally be higher!"
"Make it a status symbol! Its value will be immeasurable!"
Wen Shengjun reminded, "You don't know yet, but that white sugar has medicinal value. It has been confirmed by all the doctors in Yunning County!"
He didn't know that the bead added to a pot of soup was made from the spiritual energy in Wen Jin's spiritual spring space.
That is the rich spiritual energy that has turned into a physical entity! Of course it can cure diseases!
"It's so magical?" The shopkeepers exclaimed, secretly assessing its value in their hearts.
Wen Shengjun quoted prices for both types of candies.
The price for brown sugar is the price set by Wen Jin for white sugar.
And the sugar was doubled.
The shopkeepers were secretly stunned, but no one raised any objection.
“All the jars that were originally customized for white sugar were used to hold brown sugar.”
"Re-order the sugar jar! Ask Mr. Yan Qing to paint the sugar jar! Go to the superior official kiln to order the most exquisite sugar jar!"
Each shopkeeper has come up with new plans.
Just as the shopkeepers were preparing to put the sugar on the market.
The fourth young lady of the Yuan family, Yuan Hanjun, has also taken office!
She is the first female bookkeeper in Yunning County to be officially hired by the government!
She had a formal appointment document, which was approved and sealed by the county magistrate himself.
Yuan Xingzhi even opened an ancestral hall, allowing Yuan Hanjun to enter the ancestral hall like a boy, worship his ancestors, and offer incense to his ancestors.
What she left on the family tree was no longer just a surname and a ranking.
"Yuan Siniang" is clearly written as, "Yuan Hanjun, the word is clear."
Yuan Hanjun's appointment also caused quite a stir in Yunning County.
Those who looked down on Yuan Xingzhi in the past and said that he could not have a son and was "extremely wealthy".
Now everyone is praising him and praising him, "The Yuan family is good at educating girls! This is the pride of our Yunning County!"
"Yuan Siniang is amazing! She became the chief clerk at a young age! She might even be able to become a high official in the future!"
Yuan Xingzhi can now walk with his chest held high.
He laughed off other people's flattery.
The turbulence and excitement in his heart were turned into practical actions - he cooperated with Wen Shengjun to grow sugar cane, and he later contributed money and effort to build the sugar workshop.
Now that he has benefited from it, he has used the money to build several large classrooms for the county school in Yunning County.
“It is the Queen’s grace that makes me, Yuan Xingzhi, what I am today!”
"It's because of the empress's consideration that Han Jun can have the opportunity!"
Yuan Xingzhi thinks so in his heart and always says so.
Yuan Hanjun did not live up to Wen Shengjun's recommendation.
As soon as she took office, she made a suggestion to the magistrate of Yunning County.
"I see that sugar production has started, and some shopkeepers have begun to come to Yunning to purchase goods."
"It is better for the county government to take the lead in expanding the posthouses and inns so that these businessmen from other places can have a place to live in Yunning."
"In addition, expansion does not happen overnight, and the construction period is also long. Farmers can be encouraged to set up special 'farmhouses' so that these businessmen can have regulations to follow whether they are working or staying in!"
"Our government can be responsible for supervising and supervising. If the government gives approval to open a 'farmhouse', we will let them list it for business and we will collect taxes."
"They operate privately and we don't list them, even if they are illegal..."
Although Yuan Hanjun is young, he follows her father and has a very flexible mind.
She often hangs out with Wen Shengjun and Sheng Tianyue, and her knowledge is far beyond what people in a small place like Yunning can compare with.
As soon as she said this method, the county magistrate was stunned.
"What's the benefit of doing this? The tax revenue didn't increase much, but it caused a lot of trouble for the county government!" The county magistrate shook his head.
Yuan Hanjun smiled slightly, feeling confident and confident, which was completely unlike a girl of this age.
"Let's see, sir, this tax must be quite a lot! Moreover, our Yunning County is about to transform from a small border county into a wealthy county!"
