Chapter 54: Commercial Empire Brewing Starts!
With the support of Queen Zhao, the cane sugar business is naturally given a green light all the way, whether it is the site manpower or the required resources, all are in place in one step.

However, in just one month, all the preparatory work has been completed and mass production has begun.Ten days later, there were more than a dozen shops in Zhao's capital city, specializing in the sale of sucrose.

If you look around, you can see a variety of products. The cheapest is brown sugar cubes. Although the sweetness is abundant, it is not pure enough and has a distinct burnt bitter taste. It is most suitable for people with low incomes.

On the other side, the ones that are a little better are the pieces of white sugar crystals. The taste is more pure, but the relative price is also more expensive.

The best quality is frosted sugar that is as fine as salt grains. It not only tastes great but is also more convenient to use. It is the favorite of the rich and officials.

Because of the good publicity work, the name was published early, so on the first day of opening, there were dense crowds flocking to it, and the scene was extremely hot.

Every kind of sugar is sold out, and the supply exceeds the demand.

Adding up all the stores, the daily profit is about [-] gold. Although it doesn't look like much, you must know that this is just the beginning.

For things like sugar, the real profit is not the direct sale, but the secondary processed food.The field involved is huge, and it can be said that it is closely related to everyone...

Time flies, and before you know it, a year has passed.

During this period of time, hundreds of shops have appeared in the territory of Zhao State, and the business is in full swing.All kinds of pastries, candied fruit, and even things like candied haws made from sucrose also came into being.

Inns, restaurants, restaurants, and even the kitchens of ordinary people are full of its presence.

Under the deliberate promotion of the prostitute, sucrose and various derivative foods have even been circulated to surrounding countries, opening up more sales channels.

And the profits are naturally rising. Ye Yan roughly calculated that in this year, he earned no less than 30 gold by relying on sugar food alone!

But intersecting with this, the profits made by Qi State are even more astonishing.

I saw Ye Yan open the account book in his hand. According to the statistics from the startling salamander, the sales volume of white paper in the past year reached nearly [-] million pieces, and the profit earned was worth millions of gold!

Seeing these data, he couldn't help but click his tongue. This is really a huge profit.Even if you don't do anything, your daily income is enough to cover the expenses of ordinary people for ten years.

But to him now, things like money are just a series of numbers, and the reason why he bothers to do business is mainly to control more resources and channels.

That's right, during this year, apart from cultivating, Ye Chang planned his own future path.

In the past two years of travelling, he seemed to be wandering around, and he had no goals at all, but he had already thought about it a long time ago.

If you want to survive better in the troubled times, you still need to build up your own strength. Although the Yin Yang family is good, it is ultimately in the hands of others.

Looking around, most of those truly powerful forces have undergone hundreds of years of precipitation and accumulation, and I obviously don't have that much time to develop slowly.

Therefore, the best way is to follow the business path. Large-scale commercial trade can complete the accumulation of primitive capital in a short period of time.

It would be even better if we could also bring in a hundred schools of thought to form a group of common interests.The reason why he wanted to hand over papermaking to Confucianism before was also because of this consideration.

As soon as he thought about this, he saw that he opened a pair of scrolls on the table, and saw that a map of the current situation of the seven countries in the world was clearly drawn on it.

The relatively powerful Qin, Zhao, Chu, and Qi occupy four points in the southeast, northwest, and north respectively.

Now that he has settled down in Qi and Zhao, as long as Qin and Chu are included in the business circle, it will be regarded as fulfilling the preliminary expectation...

Just as he was thinking of this, a bold voice came: "Brother Ye!"

Looking up, he saw Li Mu walking towards him with big strides.

Ye Yan smiled and got up to greet him, and said, "Why is Mr. Wu An so free to come to my place today?"

Li Mu replied after hearing the words: "I came here to express my gratitude. The brothers in the army liked the candies you donated earlier!"

"It's just a wish, it's not worth mentioning."

Ye Yan said something politely.

Li Mu wanted to say something, but his expression changed, he pouted his nose and said, "Where does this smell come from, it's so special."

Ye Chan smiled, and then said with a light smile, "The general has such a good nose, you can smell it all."

Immediately after she called out, Xue Nu ran out from the inner room, holding a wine jug in her hand.

Ye Yan opened the jug, put it in front of the other party, and said, "This is the fine wine I just made, and I invite the general to taste it."

Hearing this, Li Mu also became interested, and his eyes lit up immediately after seeing the wine in the jug.Immediately afterwards, he poured himself a glass with curiosity.

Looking at the contents of the cup, he couldn't help but show emotion.

You must know that most of the wines brewed in this era are cloudy, and even the best wines are mixed with some impurities that are visible to the naked eye.

But the fine wine in this glass is extremely clear, even clearer than the water that he usually drinks.

Li Mu swallowed, and then put the wine glass to his mouth to taste it. When he took the first sip, his heart trembled slightly, and he drank it down without caring about the sip.

Then, without saying anything, he poured himself a second cup, still feeling bored.

After drinking three glasses of fine wine in this way, Li Mufang let out a long breath and sighed: "Careful, really refreshing!"

As soon as the words fell, his cheeks turned red quickly. This wine is really extremely pure, even the pure ones don't look like wine at all.

Seeing the other party's obsessive appearance, Ye Yan smiled lightly, then poured himself a glass, and began to taste it carefully.

After taking a sip, he nodded. This wine is really good, quite mellow, full of stamina but not choking, it can be regarded as a good product.

At this moment, Li Mu sighed lightly, with a look of sadness on his face.

Seeing this, Ye Yan asked curiously: "Why, is there something wrong with this wine?"

Li Mu shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "No problem, it's just that I regret drinking this fine wine now."

"What is there to regret, could it be that it doesn't suit your taste?"

Ye Yan asked a question.

Li Mu replied: "It's because it's so good that I'm reluctant to part with this good wine. I can't help but feel sad from it."

While talking, he patted the flagon in his hand, only to see that it was already empty...

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
