"The Duke of the State is joking. If my subordinates have a way to make money, why worry about money and food every day?" Ye Heng was stunned and thought about it. What good way can he have to make money, which is worth this person's concern?

Now under the rule of the entire Zhongyong Army, who can be richer than Jianzhou Commercial Bank? It is useless to tie the three major families together.

"Well, that, Lord Ye knows sugarcane?" Sun Yu touched his nose, but he didn't ask Ye Heng about this, nor did he know who to ask.

"I know, it's quite sweet." Ye Heng nodded. What does this have to do with getting rich?

"Have you eaten?" Sun Yu was overjoyed. He really found the right person.

"I've eaten it, I just ate it a few days ago. It's quite expensive. What's wrong?" Ye Heng felt that Sun Yu was a little surprised. Although this sugarcane is valuable, there is no need to make a fuss about it.

"Where did you eat?" Sun Yu grabbed Ye Heng's hand. He had eaten something he had never seen before. He had just eaten it recently, which was a waste of resources.

"It's here!" Ye Heng pointed to the office table and chair. At that time, he sat on the chair, put his legs on the table, grabbed the sugarcane with his left hand, and wrote with a pen with his right hand, which was so cool.

"Where did it come from?" Sun Yu felt that he was very close to the truth. He must figure out why he had never seen this thing before.

"I bought it." Ye Heng was stunned. What happened to this prince today? Could it be that he had to plant sugarcane himself?

"Where did you buy it?" Sun Yu wanted to slap him, but he couldn't finish it in one breath, and he had to squeeze it a little by little by himself?

"The shop in the west of the city is not very eye-catching, and it is the only one in Quanzhou City. If an adult wants to eat it, I will ask someone to buy it." Ye Heng felt that he hadn't discovered it before. This country's prince is still a foodie. It's just sugarcane. If you want to eat it, buy it. It's more expensive, but Ye Heng is also a rich man and can afford it.

"Let me tell you why the only one is?" Sun Yu felt that sugarcane is not difficult to grow, and the yield will not be low, and this sweet thing should be quite popular.

"Oh, this thing is in the hands of the Song family, and the yield is limited, so the shop is only from his. If we buy it, it is peeled and cannot be planted at all." Ye Heng realized that this person was planning to grow sugarcane in large quantities. Although this type of sugarcane planting can be profitable, this thing cannot be eaten as a meal, so there is no such big sales.

Moreover, this high-end product has long been monopolized by several big families, and it is used as a rare thing to sell at high prices, which ordinary people cannot afford.

"That's true. If it is planted on a large scale, Lord Ye thinks how much profit is?" Sun Yu realized that this thing was like cotton and had been hoarded by wealthy families, and ordinary people could not see it at all.

"Occupying farmland will inevitably affect grain production. In addition, it is difficult to store this material, so it is necessary to dig a cellar. The surrounding area is paved with sugarcane leaves and then put in sugarcane. The cost is too high." Ye Heng shook his head. Unlike grain, you can enter the warehouse after drying it. This thing has to be digged to store in the cellar, and ordinary people can't do it at all.

"If you make sugar and sell it after harvest, there will be no trouble." Sun Yu didn't plan to sell sugarcane, but just wanted to sell sugarcane. The sweetness of sugar is much higher than that of malt sugar, so he should be able to harvest a lot of wealthy families.

"The Song family is selling sugar, but this thing is too expensive and the people can't afford it." Ye Heng shook his head. The Song family has this technology for sugarcane, but sugarcane is so expensive. Can this sugar be cheaper?

It was because the market was too small and I was thinking about harvesting a wave of rich people. It seemed that I was thinking too much.

Sun Yu got the news he wanted, called the evil dog directly and went out toward the port.

Recently, Song Wumian and Chen He have been busy on the dock. Since the sugarcane belongs to the Song family, we should just look for Song Wumian. There is no need to go to that shop to make things difficult for the servants.

Song Wumian has just been promoted to the rank of general. Every day, he seems to have endless energy to command the navy to transport the salvaged sea fish down. He doesn't have to go out to sea recently, so he has to digest the materials he transported back, exchange them for silver and money, and then raise the second batch of materials to go out to sea.

When not going out to sea, the navy became a professional fishing team, divided into several teams, and basically every day there were fleets docking to unload the fish caught near the port.

Chen He led the fleet to the Daliuqiu. Now, the development of the Daliuqiu Island is at a critical moment and there is also a lack of meat. Chen He leads the team to fish there and provides it with the residents of the island.

"General, the Duke of the Kingdom is here!" Song Wumian's personal guard saw Sun Yu bringing people over from a distance. The main reason was that the evil dog was too easy to recognize. The huge mace was the only one in the loyal and brave army. As for the heavy knife, I don't know where to put it, anyway, he was not able to use it.

Song Wumian turned his head and saw that it was indeed Sun Yu. He didn't know the news that Sun Yu had returned to the city. He basically stayed in the port every day, and went to the dock when he had time to see how the second batch of warships were built.

"I have seen the Duke of the State!" Song Wumian stood up and walked towards the direction Sun Yu came.

"How did the navy recently?" Sun Yu felt that he asked someone to hand over the sugarcane directly at the right time. It seemed something was wrong. He had to find some topics to talk about it and bring his feelings closer.

By the way, since he got to know Song Wumian, he has made a lot of money from him. In terms of money, he has owed him some money.

"Fortunately, it will take a while to go out to sea. Many ships need to be repaired and reinforced. The new warships are expected to be more than two months before they can go into the water. I guess they can't wait to go out to sea this time." Song Wumian calculated that he would go out to sea after the New Year, and there was only more than a month left.

"When these warships were launched, can we eat the waterway to Japan?" Sun Yu's plan was not only South Asia, but also the waterway to Japan was also very profitable. Japan had nothing else, but it had rich silver reserves. If the one named Ishimi Yinshan could take it there, there would be enough silver to mint coins.

"If you can know their route and time, and have a mind-set or not, the navy will come out in full swing, you will have the confidence to win." Song Wumian estimated that if this group of warships were launched, there would be fourteen new warships, eighty-four naval guns, and more than a hundred other sea ships, which were considered very strong maritime power.

The maritime merchants in Hangzhou are in the hands of King Yue, and the fleet is not smaller than that of him. However, the new warships and sails today make the fleet more mobile and have extremely high long-range strike capabilities. If you are surprised, you will have a full chance of winning.

"What I want is to win perfectly, and we cannot leak the secrets of artillery." This time, we went to Nanyang and brought back a lot of sulfur ore. The gunpowder reserves were sufficient, but Sun Yu still felt that he would hide the secrets of artillery and wait for a better opportunity to apply them on a large scale.

"If this happens, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer." Song Wumian thought for a moment, and he was still short of strength and could easily be escaped.

"If you cast a batch of smaller naval guns and put them directly on the deck of the sea ship, are you sure?" Sun Yu thought about it. What this lacked is attack power, so he would also add it to ordinary sea ships. Nowadays, there are many skilled gunners in the navy, and he can add two small naval guns to each ordinary sea ship.

As for the naval guns used in new warships, that is not possible. Ordinary sea ships have not been reinforced and can bear it.

No.

"How long is the range? What is the power?" Song Wumian kept estimating in his heart that if every sea ship had a cannon, even one, the number of cannons could double, and this strength was indeed extremely strong.

"Sanlidi, it's half the power." Sun Yu thought that he would definitely not be as powerful as a special naval gun on board with the ordinary cannons he had prepared before, but it was much more powerful than the catapults and other powerful crossbows.

"Two doors per ship should be fine." Song Wumian thought for a while and could divide the fleet into two parts and ambush the opponent's caravan. This would be difficult to escape. The key is to have sufficient accurate information.

"Well, be mentally prepared first. Go back to the special camp and find a way to spy on the news." Sun Yu nodded. It was quite difficult to grasp the specific time for the other party to go to sea.

If the sea ships of the South Vietnamese Kingdom were taken down in one fell swoop, the coastal area would become its own back garden. Moreover, if the South Vietnamese Kingdom loses this trade route, it will inevitably fall into a state of financial shortage and it will be difficult to use troops on a large scale.

"Well, that, I heard that your Song family monopolizes sugarcane planting and sugar production?" Sun Yu saw that the preparation was almost done, and it was time to get to the point.

"It's not a monopoly. There are sugarcane outside, but they are all wild and not very sweet. My Song family was also a seed from my ancestors. They have selected each year and have the best sweetness, so they have a great advantage." Song Wumian knew his own industry well. There are sugarcane in the wild, but it is just slightly sweet. It's much worse than what his family specially planted.

This has a high sugar content and a lot of sugar produced, which makes the cost less, and it easily dispels other competitors in the market.

"I am planning to promote the planting of this product on a large scale to make sugar. What do you think?" Sun Yu nodded. The Song family really has some skills, and they can persist from generation to generation and continuously screen for good varieties.

"Dude, the reason why my Song family holds this thing firmly in their hands is that they are afraid that everyone in the world will be pursuing profits. If they plant this thing, the grain output will inevitably be greatly reduced. Once a chaos arises, how can our Song family, as the initiator, have a good ending?" The Song family can maintain wealth for decades, so naturally they have a way to deal with things.

"Your Song family does not need to come forward. I ask the government to arrange this matter, so I go to Daliuqiu Island to plant it." It is certain that it cannot affect the grain output under my control. There is a lot of land on Daliuqiu Island. Now it is vigorously renovating land, and many lands are not suitable for growing rice for the time being, so it is also good to use it to grow sugarcane.

According to Sun Yu's understanding, sugarcane is a tropical and subtropical species and is suitable for growing in warm environments. Daliuqiu Island is just right.

"It is a good idea to go to Daliuqiu Island to plant, but there are only a few people in the world who can afford sugar." Song Wumian reminded that the Song family strictly controls the supply and price of sugar cane and sugar to make good profits.

Once the price is high, even the varieties in the wild can be profitable when used to make sugar, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of others, and it is impossible to continue to do this unique business.

"How much does this sugar cost per pound now?" Sun Yu felt that the market is small now, because this thing is too expensive. Even if ordinary people want to buy it, they will give priority to cheap malt sugar.

"Five cents of silver per kilogram." Song Wumian replied.

"How much does it cost?" No wonder, this thing is too expensive. Now under Sun Yu's rule, a pound of salt is only one cent and four cents, so some ordinary people are reluctant to put too much.
