And coupled with the improvement of industrial mass production, it can eventually produce 300 kilograms!

What is this concept?

Originally, one ton of sugar required thirty-three tons of beets, but now, it only takes 3.3 tons!

This is a direct increase of ten times!

Based on the fact that the yield of sugar beets per acre is about three to four tons, the total sugar beet field is about three acres. If all the sugar is produced, at least three tons of white sugar can be obtained.

According to current value estimates, one pound of sugar is worth more than five gold coins.

Three tons is about 6,600 pounds. If sold directly at the original price, it can bring him a profit of 30,000 gold coins!

Of course, this is without considering the market. If the market were considered, I'm afraid no one would buy it after selling one or two thousand gold coins at most.

There is a consumption limit for such expensive luxury goods in this area of ​​Jinyuan City.

After all, how many people here can afford such expensive luxuries?

If it were placed in a rich place like the Fenggu Plain in the royal capital, it could be eaten not to mention three tons, but even thirty tons.

However, in Gooden's economic recycling plan, the role of sugar is to circulate money back into one's pocket.

Therefore, the price will not be so high, and the price will be appropriately reduced when it is sold outside.

The completion of the sugar mass production equipment ahead of schedule made Gooden unconsciously focus on the next two goals.

Salt, vodka!

If you want to circulate the economy as quickly as possible, the best items are these necessary consumables.

Sugar is a luxury product. After the price is reduced, the residents of Qingyuan Town will naturally be able to afford it based on their current income.

As a necessity for the human body, salt is also used as a seasoning. It can be supplied in large quantities and cheaply, so it is not a problem to make money back in your hands.

The final vodka is the trump card in Gudern's plan.

The town is located in the north, with the Yongshuang Mountains on its side. At the same time, the name of the territory is Qingyuan Snow Ridge, and the place itself tends to be cold.

Moreover, more than half of the town’s residents like to drink alcohol to keep out the cold. When winter comes, the town’s tavern is open 24 hours a day until next spring.

If a high-concentration distilled liquor were to come out now, it would be self-evident how popular it would be.

At the same time, vodka, a wine that does not require time to settle, can be drunk directly as soon as the production is completed.

It is the best brewing target for Gudern who is now in a hurry.

In the evening, Gooden was arranging and designing mass production plans for salt and vodka in his study.

Old Joseph came here to report the good news to him.

Master, there is news from the beet farmers that the beets are all mature and can be picked and delivered tomorrow.

Chapter 72: Fair and unfair, sugar is sold cheaply

Gudern had also anticipated the early ripening of beets.

The entry effect of the fertile land is to speed up the maturity time of crops. The sugar beets, which were originally only mature at the end of August, have grown rapidly in the past few days as if they were on hormones.

Yes, I understand. The sugar factory will be completed in these two days, and the equipment is fully prepared. We will send some people to collect and store the sugar beets tomorrow.

Okay, Master. Old Joseph nodded and took note of the Master's words.

By the way, Kroger still hasn't revealed any news?

When Kroger was mentioned, Old Joseph showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

No, he is very tight-lipped and will not mention this matter at all. I also hinted at it several times, but he acted as if he didn't hear it.

Gooden was not surprised by this result.

After all, Kroger has a special entry in its entry panel.

[Justice: a righteous person, a righteous soul, fair and upright without bending to cater to others]

It was this entry that allowed Gudern to dispel his doubts about him. If he could be introduced to such a righteous person by the entry, his personality and quality would definitely not be bribed by the Charleson family.

However, it is not clear whether he was deceived or not.

Try to make contact again.

Gudern did not force Old Joseph to complete this task. This kind of thing completely depends on the attitude of the other party.

Also, don't forget the bounty order for Matthews. If you send it to me twice as much, I won't believe it. No one will be interested?

The deeper the opponent hides, the more important the information on him is. Gooden is not stingy with these small sums of money.

The reward, which had originally been raised to ten gold coins, would be doubled to twenty gold coins.

With such a large amount of money, an ordinary family can live comfortably for several years.

Old Joseph also understood the importance of Matthews and immediately made arrangements.

Well, I'll make arrangements now.

After speaking, Old Joseph went to start arranging tasks, while Gudern returned his attention to the rough drawing on the table.

He was not so anxious about Matthews' pursuit.

After all, there are many ways to solve the problem of taxation. It will be much easier and more convenient to have him. It is not impossible to solve the problem without him.

July 25th, three days later.

With the completion of the construction of the sugar factory and the relocation of equipment, Gooden will personally participate in the guidance of the first batch of sugar making processes.

Due to the supply problem of sugar beet, the sugar factory may have to open every two months in the next period of time.

Gudern estimates that each time he starts working, it will not exceed a week.

Therefore, in terms of worker selection, Gooden focused on young women, and there was also a requirement for young women who were participating in school literacy.

At the same time, in order to ensure the hygiene of the sugar factory, these female workers must receive health and safety training before taking up their posts.

Only those who pass the assessment can join the sugar factory and enjoy two months of work with only seven days of work.

Of course, this working hour is only temporary. When the number of factories in the town increases in the future, they will also be assigned to other positions.

In the sugar factory, as Gudern personally ignited the steam engine, the sugar-making machines began to slowly start up mechanically.

Wash and extract the puree → shred and extract → soak and remove impurities → evaporate and crystallize → centrifuge the honey → dry and bake. A complete set of processes only takes one morning.

As the last drying and baking process is completed, the white sugar that has been refined is lying quietly in the container.

Crystal clear white particles, this is white sugar.

Looking at the white sugar in the iron container, which weighed at least a hundred kilograms, he casually took the bowl and spoon on the side.

Gudern personally ordered a bowl of white sugar, then took a spoonful of it and put it in his hand to taste.

The sweet and grainy texture delivered in the mouth proves the reliability of this device.

Come on, let's try it and see how it tastes.

Gudern handed the bowl of sugar to Kroger beside him.

As an invited 'guest', Kroger still has not recovered from the shock of the mechanical operation.

After stopping Gudern from shouting again, he realized what he was doing.

Your Excellency, this is crystal candy?

Yes, this factory is used to produce crystal sugar. Come and try how it tastes.

Gudern will raise the bowl and spoon in his hand again with a smile on his face.

Kroger took it carefully and then took out a little.

The delicious, sweet and grainy texture left Kroger with endless aftertaste, and it took him a while to give an evaluation.

I don't know how you did it, Lord, but from the quality point of view, it is much better than the goods sold by the sugar merchants from the Redro Empire from the south.

As he said that, Kroger looked at the crystal candy in the bowl and felt a little reluctant to part with it, but he still handed it back to Gudern.

If you place a small bowl of high-purity crystal sugar, there will be people vying for it. You are lucky to be able to take a bite of it.

Keep it for yourself and try it. There are plenty of them here.

Gooden saw the other party's reluctance, waved his hand and said casually, while motioning to the white sugar in the container.

Following his gaze, the expression on Kroger's face gradually solidified.

He had just been looking at various machines, but he didn't notice the large amount of crystal candies.

How much does it cost for so much crystal candy?

As an official of the empire, Kroger's annual salary is probably only about fifteen gold coins.

Just for this small bowl in his hand, he might need a third of it, but now Lord Gudern, who has been in arrears for three years, wants to give it to himself?

Could it be that he wants to use crystal sugar to buy himself off?

But just when Kroger was about to ask, Gudern spoke first and muttered to himself.

Jingtang will no longer be a valuable item in Qingyuan Town from now on. It costs five gold coins per pound outside, but I only pay ten silver coins per pound...

After hearing this, Kroger was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

Your Excellency, are you serious?

Huh? You're talking about crystal sugar. Yes, this thing is originally priced at the price speculated by the gang of profiteers in the Redro Empire. If I sell it at a low price for the sake of the people, it can be regarded as a blessing, right?

Uh... When asked this question, Kroger didn't know what to say.

At the same time, a big doubt arose in my heart, why did Gudern default on his taxes?

He has been living in Qingyuan Town these days, and the environment and atmosphere in the town are unlike anything he has ever seen.

Every day, a large number of people come to a place next to the town square to learn literacy. A strange building not far outside the town is burning smoke every day.

The most puzzling thing is that these 'machines' are all made by the blacksmiths of Qingyuan Town.

Is there a dwarf clan from the Tosa Kingdom here?

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out where he got such a magical and sophisticated device.
