Su Xing discovered that some people around the county town grew beets, but not many people did. Beets are good for making sugar.

Su Xing immediately decided to develop the sugar industry. Su Xing did not let the common people do it at the beginning, but did it himself first.

The sugars made were not difficult to sell, as what the ancients lacked most was sweetness. At that time, there was no such thing as food that could not be too sweet. Instead, people wanted food to be so sweet that it could make them choke.

Su Xing planned to sell candy in three grades: high, medium and low. The highest-grade candy would be beautifully packaged and in beautiful shapes, and would be eaten by dignitaries.

Su Xing put the candy in a paper shop and gave it away along with the paper to rich people who bought high-end paper. When people started asking where to buy the candy, Su Xing opened a candy shop and started selling high-end candy.

Mid-range sugar is targeted at wealthy landlords and small businessmen who are not short of money, and the last type of sugar is for poor people.

Suxing keeps the price of low-grade sugar as low as possible so that even the poorest people can grit their teeth and have a little once in a while.

Su Xing intends to make high-end sugar himself. It's not that Su Xing is unwilling to make it for ordinary people, but ordinary people don't have enough skills. If they do this business, they will just wait to be skinned and dismembered.

The sugar workshops of the common people mainly produce two grades of sugar: medium and low grade. The medium grade is slightly more expensive, while the low grade is sold at a lower profit but in large quantities.

Su Xing’s candy shop quickly became popular, with people coming to buy candy in an endless stream and all of them had to queue up.

After the sugar shop became popular, Su Xing began to take the next step and asked Lin Sishu to gather the people and tell them the news of teaching them the method of making sugar.

This move undoubtedly shocked everyone. While the people were happy, they also couldn't help but worry about whether they could sell too much sugar.

At this time, it was time for Su Xing, the imperial merchant, to step in. She used her status as an imperial merchant as a guarantee and assured everyone that the sugar could be sold.

With the double insurance of Su Xing, the imperial merchant, and Lin Sishu, the county magistrate, the people finally felt relieved and enthusiastically began to learn how to make candy from Su Xing.

At this time, the people who had land in the villages outside the city took advantage. They could grow beets themselves. Those who had no land could only go to villages in other counties to find people to grow beets, which invisibly increased their cost a lot.

Su Xing really has no worries about buying candy. She has paper shops all over the world, and it would be easy for her to open a candy shop next to it.

The candies sold by Su Xing are of good quality, taste good, and are not expensive, so they are liked by everyone. While selling candies, Su Xing also pays attention to the brand effect, and all her candies are marked with the mark of origin.

Before the people's candies were made, Su Xing had already promoted the brand effect of the candies he had made before.

Now when talking about eating candy, from kings and nobles to ordinary people, the first thing that comes to mind is the candy from the county where Lin Sishu lives.

After Su Xing became famous, he didn't have to do much, as those smart and astute merchants would come to the county town in droves to buy sugar and sell it.

In order to ensure that the price of sugar is not disturbed and the people do not take advantage of the price of sugar for malicious competition, Suxing has stipulated in advance the selling price of each type of sugar, with regulations on both retail and wholesale prices.

If anyone dared to break the rules, Lin Sishu would have the family severely punished. Under the heavy punishment, those who dared to disrupt the sugar price would naturally not dare to do so again.

In just three years, the county where Lin Sishu lived was promoted from a lower county to an upper county. The people in the county were all rich, and the villagers outside the county were even richer. People from the surrounding counties and even the provincial capital flocked to settle down.

Because Lin Sishu's political achievements were so outstanding, they alarmed the emperor, and at the end of his three-year term, he was promoted to prefect as an exception.

When Lin Sishu left, the people gave him umbrellas, shed tears and saw him off. They followed Lin Sishu's carriage for many miles, making Lin Sishu cry and almost unable to leave.

Su Xing had been emperor countless times, so it was extremely easy for him to assist Lin Sishu. In just ten years, he made Lin Sishu the youngest prime minister.

Lin Sishu himself has abilities, but they are far inferior to Su Xing, so all important state affairs have to be consulted with Su Xing first.

The entire Lin family knew that the truly powerful Dinghai Shenzhen was Su Xing, so Lin Sishu’s later wife and children all respected Su Xing very much.

Especially Lin Sishu's wife, she likes Suxing the most, because Suxing is a person who firmly supports Lin Sishu's monogamy and not taking concubines.

Su Xing is her confidence and support. Lin Sishu's wife is more attentive to her sister-in-law Su Xing than to Lin Sishu.

Originally, after Lin Sishu became rich, Liu Ya and Lin Dalong had thought about letting him take a concubine. However, Su Xing directly said that if Lin Sishu dared to take a concubine, she would leave the Lin family immediately and would not care about his life or death.

As a woman, whether in ancient times or modern times, it is impossible for her to like a man to have three wives and four concubines, that is, to be a mistress. When the day comes when she is promoted to the wife of her husband, you will see whether she will beat the mistress.

Su Xing especially can't stand men being unclean, which makes her unhappy. She can't control other men, but people around her cannot disgust her.

She has become a big shot, but she still has to tolerate any injustice. It is a waste of time for her to be called a big shot.

Lin Sishu was able to secure his position as prime minister entirely thanks to Su Xing, and he dared not offend Su Xing whether he wanted to or not.

Su Xing didn't care whether Lin Sishu was dissatisfied or not. She just needed to fulfill the original owner's wish and take care of the original owner's family.

But now, Su Xing just let it go, and Lin Sishu no longer had to worry about food and drink, so he could be considered to have completed his mission.

He helped Lin Sishu become prime minister simply because Su Xing had a good feeling about this family and he exceeded expectations.

In this situation, if Lin Sishu didn't know what was good for her and dared to make her unhappy, Su Xing would not only let him go, but would also send him back to his poor peasant family.

Fortunately, Lin Sishu is a smart man. He persuaded Lin Dalong and Liu Ya, who were dissatisfied with Su Xing for not allowing him to take a concubine, and assured him that he had never thought of taking a concubine and would not want a second woman in his life.

Su Xing didn't care whether Lin Sishu was sincere or not, she just took it as his true words.

Later, Lin Sishu really put his words into practice and never took a concubine in his entire life. When Lin Sishu got older, he also liked young girls.

However, Lin Sishu, who became more and more aware of Su Xing's power, did not dare to take that step. He just felt uncomfortable and did not dare to vent his anger on Su Xing, so he could only use cold violence against his wife.

In this regard, Su Xing could only sigh that people's hearts are fickle. Lin Sishu was really good to his wife in the past, but when he reached a high position of power, his heart changed.

However, Lin Sishu's wife doesn't care whether her husband changes his mind or not. She sticks to Su Xing every day, eating, drinking and having fun.

She has the best sister-in-law as her support and promising children as her future dependant. Who would have the patience to face an old man who is no longer young and has a pot belly every day?

Every day she eats, drinks, watches plays and listens to music with her beautiful sister-in-law. When she has nothing to do, she goes out to travel with her sister-in-law. She lives a fairy-like life. Does it matter whether she is a man or not?
