Chapter 93 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (42)

  They still don’t know at this time that the Jinnan Prince’s Mansion is not only building a concrete road from Weishan to Qin County, but also a major traffic road in the whole Nanban.

   Until several market entrances in Qin County with a relatively large traffic flow, a job recruitment notice was posted. The notice said that the Jinnan Palace wanted to build an ocean-going merchant ship, and those who were good at swimming were given priority. I immediately understood:

   No wonder King Jinnan is in Qin County. He really wants to form a caravan to go to sea.

   Not to mention, the treatment offered by the palace is quite attractive. For a while, people who signed up were very enthusiastic.

  However, not everyone who can swim will be admitted after signing up, and they have to live on the boat for a while to see if they can adapt to life on the boat.

  At the same time, there will be members of the Yanzi team secretly observing the character and virtue of the applicants, and the final recruitment list will be announced after the assessment on board.

   This news, along with the **** of the exiles, returned to Beijing, and spread back to Beijing.

   "Hey! What does my good second brother want to do? Don't want to be a dignified prince, but want to be a lowly merchant?"

  After Yan Keheng heard about it, the breath that came out of his nose was full of disdain.

  The princess was a little perplexed.

  The direction of Jinnan Palace is quite different from the previous life.

  In the previous life, after Yan Kejin arrived in the Nanman fiefdom, he contracted miasma poisoning and stayed sick for several years. He never left Baigui County's prefecture city for even half a step until his death, let alone organized a caravan to go out to sea.

   There is also the fourth girl Xu who ran back as soon as she left Beijing in her previous life, and she has been running away from marriage for a long time in this life.

  She didn't run away from marriage, how could the Holy Majesty use his hair to get rid of Xu Bainian?

  If Xu Bainian does not fall, how can he help the person in the crown prince's official camp to be the prime minister?

  At present, there are still too few people in the Prince's faction...

  The princess concubine paced back and forth, feeling anxious and restless.

   Originally thought that after rebirth, everything was under her control.

  It was true at first, but why has it changed in the past two years? What went wrong?

   "Master, I don't think that King Jinnan is willing to do business. Is there any other intention in doing so?"

   "You know again?" Yan Kejin rolled his eyelids lazily, "Then the princess, tell me, what is my good second brother's plan?"

"My lord, you may not have noticed because of your busy schedule. When I went shopping, I found that the variety of goods from Nanman is increasing day by day, especially the new soy sauce, which is delicious and affordable, and is very popular among the people. I sent someone to check However, there is the shadow of Prince Jinnan's mansion behind him. The concubine guessed that King Jinnan might want to use this method to make his father notice him.

  You know how poor Nanman used to be, but after King Jinnan went there for two years, the people there lived a life as prosperous as that in the Central Plains. What would the emperor think when he found out? Do you think that King Jinnan has outstanding abilities and is worthy of a great responsibility? By then..."

   "Crack!" Yan Keheng crushed the teacup, and what the princess said really touched his heart.

  The old man himself has no ability, and he is enjoying the land made by his ancestors, but he is looking forward to the success of his descendants and the success of the Yan family.

  Once the old man found out that the second child was doing various things in Nanman, he called him back to Beijing.

   He won’t change the crown prince right away, but he will definitely reuse him. In this way, the people below will not follow suit and regroup?

   "The second child! He knows how to buy people's hearts all day long!"

   He gritted his teeth and almost squeezed the words out of his teeth.

   "Don't you think this method is really effective?"

   "Then according to the opinion of the Crown Princess, how about being alone?"

   "The news about the Nanman must be kept from the father. In addition..." The crown prince approached the prince and got an idea by ear.

   "This...doesn't this allow the second child to gain military power?" Yan Keheng felt inappropriate.

"This is only temporary. As long as he can't return to the capital and garrison the impoverished northern border, what's the use of holding that bit of military power? When the Lord ascends to the throne and inherits the general rule, he will take back the military power and find someone who has lost his hair." Wouldn't he have made it?"

  Yan Keheng narrowed his slender eyebrows and sneered, as if he had been persuaded.

  …

  Xu Yin and Yan Kejin stayed in Qin County for three months.

   After spending half a month recruiting and selecting qualified crew members, Yan Kejin went into battle in person and led them to the training for combat on board.

  Nominally, it is natural to deal with pirates, but Yan Kejin did not forget to increase the intensity of training, trying to train them to the point where if one day a foreign enemy invades Yanhua through the coastline, they can go to battle to kill the enemy at any time.

   During this period, Xu Yin went to the sugar workshop branch run by Dongxue. In addition to brown sugar and white sugar, she also taught Dongxue how to make rock sugar.

  In the new year, two new products, white crystal rock sugar and soil rock sugar, have been added to the sugar workshop.

   I learned that there are a lot of hawthorn fruits that grow wild in the mountains around Qindong. Because the taste is too sour, even if they are harvested, they are dried and sold in medicine orchards as medicine.

  Xu Yin had an idea and taught Dongxue how to make candied haws.

However, the temperature in Nanban is high, the coldest month is around ten degrees, and the area in Qinbei is even warmer. The candied haws can’t last long, so the owner of the sugar shop picked a few clever guys and asked them to bring sugar and hawthorn. Go to the Central Plains and even the Northland to open a small sugar shop. In addition to selling sugar, they also make and sell candied haws.

   This business is designated to be easy to do. There is not enough sugar and hawthorn, so they can be delivered through the **** agency, and the hawthorn can also be purchased locally.

  The local people must be happy to earn some pocket money for a penny worth several catties of wild fruit.

  In addition to hawthorn, kumquat, orange flesh and other fruits can also be used to make it, depending on what fruits are produced locally.

  It doesn’t matter if the production skills are stolen by others. After all, the key raw material, sugar, is in the hands of the manufacturer. If there is a price war, others will definitely lose first.

   Besides, after occupying the market, as long as the craftsmanship does not deteriorate and the varieties are frequently updated, why worry about no business? She doesn't intend to engage in a monopoly.

  Since the Crown Princess learned that the canned fruit and soy sauce came from the workshops under the Jinnan Palace, she has secretly sent people to pay attention to the Jinnan Palace.

  Now that King Jinnan is still recruiting troops to form a caravan to go to sea, he pays special attention to all information related to Nanban.

  On this day, she went to the street to check the shop under her name, and suddenly found that there was a sugar shop on the street. When she passed by, a sweet fragrance that made people want to stop and taste lingered at the tip of her nose.

   "What does this shop sell?"

  She asked the people below to inquire.

  When the servants came back, they said that they were selling sugar. They only sold snowflake white, ruby ​​red, white crystal rock sugar and yellow crystal rock sugar produced in Nanban. In addition, they also released a new product called fruit candied haws, which is especially popular with children.

  Hearing that the Nanmans opened a shop here to sell sugar, the Crown Princess stopped going to patrol the shop, frowned, and immediately ordered:

"Go! Find out who the master behind the sugar shop is. If it's irrelevant, find someone to evict in the first year! All the shops on this street will be bought if they are idle. From now on, all things from Nanban will not be allowed here. For sale on the street."

  This street is the closest commercial street to the imperial palace, and the emperor would come here to walk and have a look when he left the palace on a whim, but he must not be allowed to hear or see anything related to Nanman.
