Chapter 228 Sugar Cube
Chapter 228 Sugar Cube
And the Queen and others: …………
Who are these families? They actually look down on the royal family.
This apparent crime is enough to punish him immediately.
The emperor knows nothing, why does Mo Sheng just not believe it?
The whole story that Xiao Ba told revealed a very outrageous atmosphere.
As an emperor who has dealt with aristocratic families for so many years, it is impossible for my father not to know these tactics.
But why let people in again?
If they are all stand-ins, why did he put them in?
She didn't believe at all that her father would do such a thing without any benefit.
There must be some plan.
[What on earth is Father doing?]
System: [My dear little master, are you kidding me? This is just a coincidence.]
Mo Sheng had a look of seeing through everything.
[There aren't so many coincidences in the world. Xiao Ba, which families are these?]
System: [Liuzhou Li family, Lingzhou Zhao family, Jinzhou Chen family, Lingzhou Qi Guan family, and Rongzhou Qian family.
Among them, the Qi family was not originally on your father's selection list, they signed up on their own.
Your father's subordinates refused many times, but later on your father suddenly agreed to their proposal.]
Mo Sheng smiled.
[These people could have lived a few more days in peace, but they chose to die]
These families are all guilty of deceiving the emperor because of the people they sent in.
It seems that Yan Zigui was anxious, so she asked her confidant Qi Guanyu to send someone into the palace.
But my father has already hired someone to keep an eye on her, so if there is any movement, they will keep an eye on her.
Her father must have known it immediately.
It's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation.
[The Qi family, their ambitions have gradually grown bigger over the years, and being a simple imperial merchant is no longer enough to satisfy them.
Must come out to seek death]
System: [Young Master, those in power know nothing about the affairs of the Qi family.
This was something Qi Guanyu did himself. He wanted to prove himself.
If he could send a concubine into the palace, he could also gain the emperor's favor.
What a great honor this would be for the Qi family. If he could give this news to his elder as a birthday gift, he would be very proud.
For this reason, Yan Zigui instigated him to do so without even discussing it with his family.
He originally wanted to send it as a gift to his own sister, but his sister didn't want to, so he spent a lot of money to find a substitute from the underworld to change her appearance.
Qi Guanyu also told the woman that if she became favored, she must think more about Yan Zigui.
Help her do things]
Mo Sheng: ……………Whose prodigal son is this?
Oh, it turns out to be from Qi Guan’s family.
[It is indeed a birthday gift. I gave my elder a new life gift on his birthday.]
[This is truly a very filial character]
The Queen and others: Fortunately, there is no one with brain stem deficiency in their family.
Otherwise I'll be so angry that I'll vomit blood.
I wonder how Qi Guanyu would feel if he knew that his action directly pushed his family to the end.
What about the other four?
System: [My young master, it turns out that they are actually somewhat related.
These four are several sugar-making families who control the production technology of sugar cubes.
Every year, sugar cane is sold to merchants and the imperial court under Beiyun at high prices.
These merchants then raised the price, layer by layer, and sugar cubes became a luxury that only aristocratic families could afford.
Some people have never eaten a sugar cube in their entire lives.
After Xiao Ba said this, Mo Sheng knew what her father was trying to do.
I guess he wants to reorganize these aristocratic families.
This decision was made after investigating the moral character of the children of each family. Summoning people into the palace was just to see their attitudes.
It's just that these few companies are unwilling to even give a perfunctory response, which has led to the current situation.
[But are those two girls innocent?]
System: [My young master, they are not innocent either.
They all do things for money.
Xiao Ba just discovered that both girls received huge amounts of property.
This amount of money is enough for their family to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.
Mo Sheng sneered.
[These people are really willing to do so.]
They all seem to be very wealthy.]
If we don't find a way to help them shrink faster, we will be doing a disservice to our father's plan.
The Queen and others: They have also heard of these noble families.
I heard that they are the local bosses and have a firm grip on the local economy.
But I didn't expect that these people are becoming more and more rampant.
Even the imperial court is no longer taken seriously.
[If my father wants to destroy me, he must first make me crazy.]
But this might alarm the enemy.]
Queen and others: It’s actually not that bad.
After all, I'm just trying to see the attitude and I don't have any plans.
This kind of family can only be developed slowly.
[Hehe, there is a way, replace them]
The Queen and Concubine Rong: I'm afraid that won't work. They don't grow sugarcane in their area, and they don't have the recipe for making sugar.
They have the will but not the ability.
Mo Sheng made up her mind and started to make a fuss about going to find her father.
"Father."
"Find."
The queen looked at the time and it was indeed late.
So he told the people below to disperse.
Mo Sheng was bothering her and wanted to go find the emperor, so there was no gossip to talk about.
He left with a look of regret on his face.
They should go somewhere else to eat the melons.
The Queen and Concubine Rong carried Mo Sheng towards the imperial study where Mo Jinyi was.
[Xiao Ba, do you have a recipe for making sugar?]
I only remember the general idea: sugarcane slicing - crushing - filtering - boiling... I have forgotten too many details.
I’m afraid the production won’t be successful.]
Xiao Ba's tone was very excited, and his two fleshy green leaves swayed up and down from time to time.
System: [My little master, Xiaoba has this.
There are many more, but there are only two kinds of sugar that can be produced in Beiyun.]
Mo Sheng thought about it and felt that actually two kinds were enough. It seemed that the only sugar circulating in Beiyun now was sugar cubes made from sugarcane.
There was no other kind of sugar, including in the palace.
Anyway, she has never eaten it.
【Then let’s do both】
System: [Okay. Xiaoba will export it directly.]
Wait until Mo Sheng and the others arrive at the imperial study.
Xiaoba has also been exported.
System: [My dear, the thing is in the last book]
【okk】
Mo Jinyi raised his head and looked at the Queen and Concubine Rong in confusion.
Do these two people have anything to ask him? Can't you see he is busy?
In the past two years, the prince has helped review memorials to reduce his workload.
Now that he is getting married, he was given a few days off so that he can spend more time with his new bride.
He was not used to reviewing memorials by himself for a while.
[Father, don't look at the Queen Mother and the Consort Mother, I am the one who wants to talk to you about something]
Mo Jinyi: Will Sheng'er take the initiative to look for him?
Hasn't she been hiding far away these days?
"What do you want to talk to Father about?"
[I'm here to help you solve your problems. I just heard that you've been having a hard time lately.]
As Mo Sheng spoke, she got down from her mother's arms and walked towards the corner of the table where Mo Jinyi placed the book.
