Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"Don't worry about this matter, it will be fine when you recover."

Shu An made his voice out, apparently mainly cotton seeds. As for the technique of making sugar, it is not necessary, and there is not that much demand.

The current gray sugar is sugar anyway, although the purity is not high, it is barely acceptable to Shu An.

It's just that Wang Xuance shook his head slightly, and there was a trace of firmness in his eyes. He was afraid that he would forget next time, so he had to say it now.

"Okay, don't be too forceful."

But Shu An understood the meaning in this disciple's eyes, and said with a sigh.

Afterwards, Shu An asked Laifu to bring paper, ink, pens and inkstones. Although Tianzhu was a foreign land for Tang Dynasty, it must be said that there were still many good things.

After all, Tianzhu was once one of the origins of ancient civilizations, and there is still some heritage in ancient India.

"Tianzhu Sugar is sucrose."

"Squeeze the juice from sugar cane and make it into syrup."

"Boiled over fire into stone-like lumps of sucrose."

.......

Wang Xuance seemed to use all his strength to speak out, this time it was very clear.

On the other side, Shu An was writing furiously, writing down everything that this disciple said.

This is the helplessness of being a liberal arts student. He still remembers that he ate a lot of white sugar secretly when he was a child, but how to make it and how the craftsmanship is, I'm sorry I don't know.

Although helpless, fortunately, it can be regarded as making up for it now. With this method, Datang also started to make sucrose.

When Wang Xuance finished speaking, he fell into a coma again.

After going through some confusion again, fortunately, Sun Simiao was relieved after he came and indicated that there was no problem.

4 chapters and one season, candidates

"sucrose?!"

Shu An in the courtyard of Shu Mansion murmured softly, compared to gray sugar, the purity of sucrose is much higher, although it is not as good as white sugar, but it is close to it, and it appears light yellow.

If it has been purified and processed, it can be said to be close to white sugar. It is currently impossible to achieve pure white, but it is enough for this era.

"sugar cane!"

But if it started with sucrose, Shu An soon thought of another thing, which was the raw material.

But at this time, Shu An's expression was full of smiles, because there was one place that was really a good place, and that was Lingnan.

If there is the most sugarcane, it must be Lingnan, where the climate is really suitable for sugarcane cultivation.

"It seems that this time I will deal with Feng An again."

Shu An murmured softly, knowing the food incident last time would benefit this Feng Zhuguo a lot.

If Shu An hadn't bought it, Feng An wouldn't have dared to go out of Lingnan to sell grain.

Could it be that he doesn't know the business opportunities? This is simply impossible, but if he sells grain, he is destined to conflict with the rice merchants behind him.

And these rice merchants are the aristocratic clans behind the localities, and it can be said that a single hair will affect the whole body.

Not to mention that Feng An was almost considered rebellious at the beginning. If he sold grain, he was afraid that he would not die fast enough.

Although the use of food has given Lingnan a big sigh of relief, but that's all. We must know that most of Lingnan is still mountain people.

Food alone is not enough to satisfy these mountain people, but a lot of meat is needed.

It is definitely not enough to rely on oneself, so money is needed to buy it. It is for this reason that Lingnan has always been self-sufficient.

There are even a lot of gaps, in other words, it is poor, if there is a business.

Then presumably Feng An should be able to jump up, and of course the profit of this business should not be small.

For the time being, Shu An doesn't plan to take it out yet. You must know that the Shu Mansion is still in debt, so you can't expect too much from Li Shimin.

This requires a source of business, so Shu'an is going to hold back the sugar business for the time being.

"We still need to send someone to Lingnan to negotiate."

Soon Shu An had an idea, but along with it came a new problem.

Although Shu An's subordinates are all there, it seems that none of them are very good, such as Shu Kuangshi and others who have just returned. These people have just returned to Chang'an not long ago.

It doesn't seem good if they are sent out again, not to mention that Shu An has already asked Laifu to match these people, but he has not forgotten to let Shu Kuangshi and others get married.

As for the words of Shu Kuanghu and others, they seem to be a little helpless. It is said that many of their wives are already pregnant.

After all, they have been married for a long time, so it should be about the same. After thinking of this, Shu An also felt a little embarrassed.

The journey to Lingnan is far away, and it will take several months to go back and forth. If it is reasonable to delay these people, even Shu An will feel a little helpless in his heart.

After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help but shook his head. This matter must be done as soon as possible. The reason is very simple, that is, it is the season of sugarcane.

Generally, it is from October of last year to March and April of the next year. During this period, if the candidates are finalized now, a batch of sucrose can still be produced.

And you can also discuss with Feng An to let them plant sugarcane on a large scale in Lingnan, so that it can be harvested in October.

"Laifu, what do you think of this matter?"

In the end, Shu An's eyes fell on the housekeeper of the Shu Mansion beside him and said, of course, he also made this matter very clear.

Laifu couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, as if he didn't expect the master to hand over this difficult problem to himself.

It's just that it is indeed as the master thought, it would be a pity if this time point is missed, and it will have to wait until the end of the year.

"Master, it's better to leave this matter to them to decide."

In the end, Lai Fu smiled wryly and said, anyway, as far as Lingnan is concerned, some of the guards of the Shu Mansion have also been there, and it is still in the Tang Dynasty.

It would not be like Tianzhu. After all, it was really difficult for Tianzhu to arrange it before. After all, it is not known how Wang Xuance's mansion will return.

Naturally, I don't know how to wait. On the contrary, Lingnan is different. It can be taken care of by others without any crisis.

At most, I would meet some little thieves and robbers on the road, but unfortunately this is the guard of the Shu Mansion, who has learned martial arts for more than ten or even twenty years.

Those little thieves are just looking for death when they meet. Under such circumstances, in fact, anyone can go.

Hearing Lai Fu talk about his thoughts, Shu An nodded, because this seemed to be the best way.

Shu An still handed over this matter to Laifu, and gave him three days. If he had more time, he might not be able to catch up.

Of course, other preparations must be made, such as hiring craftsmen, after all, no one in Shu Mansion knows how to make sugar.

"If the sugarcane is about to pass the time, then it should be frozen first."

Shu An also did not forget to explain, although the quality of the sugar produced may be affected due to the freezing.

But don't forget that in this era, there is no concept of expiration or non-expiration. There are only two choices: whether you can eat or not, and food cannot be wasted.

"Yes, sir!"

Laifu also did not hesitate to speak out, and immediately turned and left.

The choice is Shu Kuanghu, who followed Shu An to Chang'an earlier, and some of them have been to Lingnan, which is undoubtedly the best choice.

Although the night was about to fall completely, Lai Fu didn't care, knowing that Shu Kuanghu and the others lived in a farm on the outskirts of Chang'an.

"Compared to the desertedness of Shu Mansion, the countryside is much more lively."

Shu An looked at Lai Fu's leaving figure and murmured softly, saying that he likes the atmosphere of the countryside.

It's a pity that there must be a lot of people visiting Shu's mansion these few days, even Shu An can't leave Chang'an.

After thinking of this, Shu An shook his head, and before he knew it, it was time for dinner again.

Tonight's talk is not as lively as before, after all, today is not as lively as two days.

It seemed that Sun Simiao, an old friend, was the only one who accompanied him, but even in the Shu Mansion, this friend seemed not to let go of the medical books.

Occasionally, Shu Anla would even take a look to check if there was anything wrong with the previous writing.

"Being able to become the king of medicine is no fluke."

In the end, Shu An couldn't help but sighed, Sun Simiao has been very busy in the past six months, but unfortunately without those students, he can only continue to collect data by himself.

Chapter 4 As expected, looking for

Three days later, when Shu An looked at Shu Kuanghu in front of him, he was somewhat expected, but also somewhat expected.

"Master, Kuanghu strives to come back before March."

Shu Kuanghu's eyes flickered and he said in a low voice, obviously there was also a reason why he had to come back earlier.

"Okay, but don't worry."

After being silent for a while, Shu An said, there was an example of Wang Xuance before, and he didn't intend to force Shu Kuanghu to do anything.

Anyway, this trip should not be fruitless. Shu Kuanghu still knows how to make ice, and the worst thing is to freeze the sugar cane.

Acquiring sugar cane ahead of the sugar cane season can be regarded as an attempt.

After all, he has just acquired the art of making sugar, the raw materials are not very good, and the technology of making sugar is only superficial, so it can only be said to give it a try.

It is enough to be able to make a batch, and when it comes to October, that is the big head.

"Yes, sir!"

Shu Kuanghu said respectfully, then turned and left.

This made Shu An secretly sigh with emotion, he never thought that Shu Kuanghu would go there in person in the end.

In fact, he had considered Shu Kuanghu, but if he remembered correctly.

That Du Ting, that is, Shu Kuanghu's wife, was pregnant quite early, like two months after they got married.

If you calculate the time, then it can be said that now is the critical time, and it is very likely to be born in three or four months.

It is for this reason that Shu An does not want Shu Kuanghu to go to Lingnan, the journey is still a bit far away.

Although there is no danger, it will eventually make Shu Kuanghu lack a regret.

One must know that since having an heir, Shu An even heard that Shu Kuanghu mentioned it every three days, and often returned home.

But this is Shu Kuanghu's choice, Shu An didn't say much, after all, someone is going, so go early and return early.

And with these three days, Wang Xuance also began to gradually wake up, but Shu An seemed to have something wrong with the state of this disciple.

The reason is very simple, he actually found that Wang Xuance was in a daze from time to time, it can be said that this is really rare.

"Is there something else going on that I don't know about?"

Even Shu An couldn't help but muttered softly in doubt, if Wang Xuance could be made to do this, something must have happened.

"Teacher, I want to go out for a walk."

Just as Shu An's thoughts were racing, Wang Xuance came to Shu An's side without knowing when, and a voice sounded.

"Okay, go back early."

Shu An said without any hesitation. Although this disciple's body was still very weak, he did not have the strength to move around.

And this is in Chang'an, it's fine if you didn't know about Wang Xuance's return before, but now you know, naturally there won't be any problem.

"Thank you teacher!"

There was a trace of gratitude in Wang Xuance's eyes and he said out loud, you must know that now he is restricted by that doctor Sun not to leave the house.

Originally, he didn't report any hope, but he didn't expect that his teacher didn't care.

Now that Wang Xuance has recovered, he will naturally not forget what happened before. Although the memory of the person who saved him is somewhat vague, he cannot forget it.

As long as Wang Xuance could take a look, he would definitely be able to recognize who that person was.

After Wang Xuance left, he didn't notice that there seemed to be some light in Shu An's eyes behind him.

The reason why Shu An didn't stop him was naturally because he saw that Wang Xuance had something on his mind, or that his thoughts were not straight-forward, and he had to go.

Under such circumstances, he did not stop it, perhaps there are some things that are more important than life.

Although it is very likely to hurt the foundation, but this is Wang Xuance's choice. Regarding Wang Xuance's position, Shu An has long known that it is a Confucian general.

You don't need to have outstanding force, but you must have a smart mind. There is no doubt that Wang Xuance is qualified on this point.

Just from Tianzhu and his party, it can be seen that, for example, the technique of sugar making is not an ordinary thing even in Tianzhu, but Wang Xuance still used some means to obtain it.
