"Brother Hui, since the salt industry is like this, why don't you mention white sugar?"

"This is the weapon of the country, although the fine salt is heavy, but compared with white sugar, it is not worth mentioning!".

Seeing that Xu Huizu attached so much importance to it, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Specimen thought that this white sugar was just delicious, at best it was just to make some money, and they couldn't help but become solemn, they knew that Xu Huizu would not joke about state affairs.

"I plan to include white sugar in the war readiness resources and strictly control it. "

"White sugar is easy to eat and carry, made into sugar cubes to carry around, when the army is in a hurry, soldiers can rely on sugar cubes to quickly replenish body energy and relieve hunger!"

"Second, sugar also has the effect of promoting wound healing and preventing wound infection and suppuration on the battlefield."

"Thirdly, and most importantly, it can increase the power of gunpowder!".

"It's not enough to make the country rich and the people safe, and the strengthening of armaments must also go hand in hand, otherwise what is the difference between it and the weak Song Dynasty, it is just a piece of fat in the eyes of the barbarians. "

Looking at the three people whose CPUs were about to burn due to high-speed operation, Xu Huizu shook his head, feeling that it was better not to say too many things to them at once.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao glanced at each other: "Is our champion Hou a martial artist or a capable minister?"

Xu Huizu was also immersed in satisfaction: "Love love, love, is this what it feels like to be both civil and military?"

"Ahem, Biao'er, now I know why we still want to give him a civilian job after we sealed him that day, right? In the future, follow my father to learn more, see more, and listen more! You are still too tender now!".

"Yes, father, the emperor, the son must study seriously!" Zhu Biao respectfully bowed.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, you deceive people too much, so shameless!" Xu Huizu snorted wildly in his heart

"What is the cost of this sugar, and what are the difficulties in production?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Xu Huizu with a fiery look in his eyes, and asked loudly.

"The cost is not high, the main raw material is sugarcane, but sugarcane can only be grown in the south, among which Yunnan is the most suitable for planting, with high yield and good quality!".

"At that time, the people are encouraged to plant sugarcane, and when it is ripe, it will be purchased directly by the imperial court, and the people will also be able to earn an extra income!"

"Therefore, your Majesty, it is imperative to recover Yunnan, and the minister is willing to lead the army to quell the rebellion. "

Xu Huizu's words made Zhu Yuanzhang also interested, no matter what aspect he considered, this transaction would not lose money.

"Hmm..."Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment: "Okay, let's get it! Let's play it together!"

"Hey, Emperor Xie".

Immediately stopped saying more, and bowed and retired.

Champion Hou Mansion

"Master Hou, all the raw materials have been refined!".

Seeing Xu Huizu coming to the backyard, the housekeeper Wang Mu hurriedly reported to Xu Huizu.

"Well, yes, send someone to continue to find some materials, continue to refine, and you will increase your monthly money by three taels per month in the future!"

"Thank you Lord Hou, thank you Lord Hou!".

"It's okay, go get busy".

After Wang Mu left, Xu Huizu called the guards of the Hou Mansion to inform Li Jinglong to come over to discuss the matter.

...

"Huizu, what's the matter with calling me over?"

"I'm busy training Shenwuwei, so I'll have something to say

."

Li Jinglong has not arrived, the voice has arrived first, and the relationship between the two is now called a good friend, and there are not so many false courtesies.

"You go back and organize a team of people to go to Yangzhou.... So... And so..."

Li Jinglong's face was shocked, there was no extra nonsense, he turned around and left.

Looking at Li Jinglong's back, Xu Huizu muttered, "Yang Xian, I'll take you under the knife this time!"

...

Xu Huizu returned to the Guogong Mansion with sugar and fine salt.

When I walked to the front of the hall, I saw Xu Da, Tang He, and two men I didn't know drinking tea and chatting.

"Nephew, meet Uncle Tang!" Xu Hui's ancestor saluted Tang He, and then turned to Xu Da and asked, "Father, these two are..." ?"

"This is Deqing Hou Liao Yongzhong, called Uncle Liao! This time he went on the Northern Expedition with his father, but you haven't seen it," Xu Da explained aloud.

Xu Huizu hurriedly saluted: "Hello Uncle Liao!".

Liao Yongzhong also hurriedly got up to return the salute, and did not dare to slack off at all.

In terms of title, Xu Huizu is only lower than the Duke of Guo and ranks first among the princes.

"Hahahaha, I've seen the champion Hou, in Xia Muying!" The young man didn't wait for Xu Da to introduce him, and when he saw Xu Huizu's eyes, he immediately spoke.

"I've seen Brother Mu!".

Xu Huizu had thousands of thoughts in his heart. Mu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, like himself, began to fight on the battlefield at the age of 12. is a meritorious service, guarding Yunnan for generations for the old Zhu family, and is also one of Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted people.

At the same time, Mu Ying is also one of the historical figures that he admires very much.

Seeing Xu Huizu's return, Deqing waited for Liao Yongzhong and Tang He not to continue to talk to Xu Da, and immediately went home.

Xu Huizu stopped Mu Ying, who was about to retire, turned to his father and said, "Dad, the fine salt and sugar I brought back have been handed over to Uncle Zhang, and they will be used when cooking at night, and the salt at home will not be used in the future." "

Xu Da nodded, he also knew about refining fine salt and sugar, but he didn't expect it to come out so quickly.

"Brother Mu, let's go~ go to my house and sit down, I'll get some good things you haven't eaten tonight, let's get drunk and rest!"

Seeing that Xu Huizu was so enthusiastic, Mu Ying could only fulfill his wish, and the two joined hands and went to the Champion Hou's Mansion with a smile.

...

"Brother Mu, sit!".

"Okay, Brother Hui, do you want to barbecue meat?"

As soon as the picture turned, Xu Huizu and Mu Ying sat in front of an oven made of stones, and the time was a little rushed to make an oven, so they could only make do with it like this.

"Hey, I'm not an ordinary barbecue, you'll know if you taste it later!".

Xu Huizu took out the skewered mutton and pork and flipped it repeatedly, and then sprinkled it with the barbecue sauce that had been exchanged for 1 point of the National Fortune Point, and the fragrance wafted after a while.

"Come on, Brother Mu, eat more, this thing has to be enjoyed with beer, I'll brew some myself and invite you again one day, let's make do with some today!".

Xu Huizu is also a pity, the beer in the mall is too expensive to buy, so he can only wait to brew it himself.

"Cool!" Xu Huizu, who took a bite of the skewers, asked, "Brother Mu, where are you working now?"

"Hey, Brother Hui, my father has just transferred me back to Tianfu, and he hasn't arranged for me to serve anywhere!"

Xu Huizu said while eating skewers: "Brother Mu, why don't you go to Yunnan with me, the temples in the capital are not suitable for you, I believe you don't like intrigue all day long, right?"

Xu Huizu knew that Mu Ying was brave and loyal, but he was good by nature, and he was not suitable to be an official in Ying Tianfu, who was deceitful here.

"Really, is the imperial court ready to take down the king of Yuanliang?"

Mu Ying's eyes lit up, and her eyes were full of fiery and yearning.

Xu Huizu didn't hide it, and told Mu Ying about today's events in the palace, and also focused on the importance of white sugar to Daming.

"It's safest for Yunnan to be handed over to you to guard! It's just that if you go here, you have to guard it here for generations, Brother Mu, think about it!"

As soon as Xu Huizu's voice fell, Mu Ying was very decisive: "Brother Hui, I would like to replace my father to guard Yunnan!"

"Brother Mu, I will respect you for the emperor and the people for this cup of wine!"

"!".

The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and they had a feeling of hating each other.
