Chapter 175 - 175: Qin Wenzheng Is Unromantic



Gu Yundong pointed at the white sugar. “The formula for the white sugar can be presented to the imperial court.”

Qin Wenzheng’s eyes lit up, but she continued, “But there are conditions.”

“What conditions?”

“The imperial court will allow me to privately make and sell it.” Damn it, she was clearly the one who made it. She still had to obtain the imperial court’s permission to make deals. It was so annoying.

But Gu Yundong knew that it was impossible for her to keep the technique of extracting white sugar in her hands.

This thing was not like recipe or embroidery skills. This person did not have it, but that person did. They could hide it as an inheritance and let the future generations inherit the skills.

White sugar was related to the livelihood of the people. In the future, it would have to enter thousands of families. It was like salt. She was just a small farmer girl. How could she dare to monopolize it? She would be killed in minutes.

However, she could let the Imperial Court monopolize it.

Seeing that Qin Wenzheng was silent, Gu Yundong continued, “Master Qin, let’s face the reality. If you want me to offer the formula, this is the only condition. Of course, the imperial court can also disagree. You can also coerce and tempt me, but nobody wants to see the bad consequences.”

“Although I want to do business in private, don’t worry. My quantity won’t be huge. Besides, what I want to do the most isn’t the white sugar business.”

At this point, she lowered her voice slightly. “However, the imperial court can refine it in large quantities. Master Qin, the treasury is empty now, right? Don’t look at me like that. To say something disrespectful, we all know what kind of person the late emperor was. Moreover, as soon as the current emperor ascended the throne, he immediately sent a large sum of disaster relief silver to Yongning Prefecture. Just think about how much silver there is in the treasury.”

Qin Wenzheng’s expression turned grave.

Gu Yundong lowered her voice even more. “But this white sugar can help the emperor earn a lot of money. White sugar looks fair, but there’s not much of it. I heard that most of the nobles in the capital like to compare. If they know that there’s such a thing, wouldn’t they think of ways to buy it? But white sugar is in the hands of the court. Isn’t the price just how much the emperor wants? Besides, white sugar can also be exported to our neighboring countries. Not only can it showcase our country’s advanced technology, but it can also earn their money, right?”

Qin Wenzheng followed her train of thought. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Although sugar would be commonly distributed to the families of ordinary people in the future, the emperor could still take advantage of these few years to earn a sum of money to fill the national treasury, right?

Gu Yundong continued, “As for me, even if I make a private transaction, I will only set the price to be about the same as the imperial court’s. I don’t need much, so most people still have to ask the emperor for it, right? As long as Master Qin is my backer and doesn’t let others find trouble with me, I will tell you the formula.”

Qin Wenzheng was silent. After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded seriously. “Alright, then can I go to Yongfu Village now to see how you refine this white sugar?”

“Master Qin, you should ask the higher-ups first and confirm it.”

Qin Wenzheng looked at her deeply. “You don’t look like a farmer girl at all.”

“I also think I’m very smart.”

Madam Ge, who was sitting quietly at the side, could not help but laugh out loud. Qin Wenzheng’s tense face could not help but twitch. He shook his head and laughed. “Then Miss Gu, wait a moment. I’ll go write a letter.”

As he spoke, he took the white candy and left.

Madam Ge had been watching. When she heard that Qin Wenzheng was leaving, she wondered if she could have a bite of such sweet and white sugar. She did not expect her husband, who was insensitive, to take it away..
