tons of brown sugar might be a big problem for others, but for Horn, it’s not an issue.
Horn’s sli juice drip sugar technique is extrely simple to operate.
Dissolve the brown sugar in li water, pour it into the sli gel powder, and after letting it sit, continuously scrape the sugar frost to obtain white sugar.
He even calculated that a sugar workshop with 20 people can purify nearly 800 pounds, or 400 kilograms, of white sugar every day.
In a month’s ti, it can purify 10 tons of white sugar, which, when sold at wholesale price, brings an inco of 1,000 gold pounds.
With 6 pounds of white sugar obtained from purifying 10 pounds of brown sugar, such a workshop can consu 16.5 tons of brown sugar in a month.
So 4200 tons of brown sugar is just the matter of 25 workshops, and it can even provide more than five hundred jobs for Horn.
A sugar workshop, excluding labor costs, material losses, and transportation costs, can earn about 500 gold pounds per year.
workshops would be equivalent to adding 12,500 gold pounds to Horn’s inco.
Once Horn explained everything, the two of them finally understood Horn’s business model: trade grain for sugar, then sugar for money, with each party getting what they need.
Thanks to Horn’s research on this secret recipe, it isn’t difficult to produce high-quality white sugar, with guaranteed speed and output.
"But Mr. Horn, although your idea is good, there is still a big problem," Ludvik pointed to the plate of white sugar, "Farrs and lords in Kasha County habitually sell to Leia rchants and the church.
They are resistant to you, so why would they sell their grain to you?"
Horn smiled slightly and took out a stack of docunts from his pocket, handing it to Ludvik:
"According to the annual production of brown sugar, we issue sugar permits to you. As long as you transport the grain to a fixed location, you can exchange it for a corresponding amount of white sugar using the permits.
How they sell this sugar is their business, whether internally or smuggling, we don’t care. Anyway, our wholesale price is 12 Dinars."
This is what makes the wealthy landlords in Kasha County more inclined to sell grain to the Salvation Army.
Because such quality white sugar can be resold for 18 Dinars, they are naturally eager to do it.
This will inevitably give birth to a batch of specialized grain and sugar rchants, because farrs in Kasha County are scattered and lack the organization to transport grain.
These grain and sugar rchants can cooperate with the Salvation Army’s Saintess Bank to form a Thousand River Valley white sugar trade company.
Horn can provide them with trade routes to the Falan Kingdom, sothing that Monte Yac promised the Salvation Army initially.
As a result, these locals naturally beco bound to the Salvation Army’s cause.
"By doing this, they will be willing to join the Salvation Army’s camp?" Rubbing his eyes, Ludvik looked up from the papers, evidently bewildered by the plan.
"I just ask you, suppose there are two gold pounds here, which one is filthy? Which one is noble?" Horn leaned back on the cushion.
By then, no matter how Blo tries to advocate, Kasha County must stand with Horn.
Because Horn brings them profit, and profits they couldn’t imagine before.
The church used to be their provider, but now Horn is their provider.
The Holy Country is ruled with filial piety, and in the future, they will all be Huo Xiaozhi; how dare they place soone else’s ancestral tablets in their own hos?
"I know many of your lords and farrs don’t want to travel far, but that’s okay, the igedi Comrce Association will set up points across Kasha.
Lords and farrs can sell their grain to the igedi Comrce Association nearby. Of course, due to losses, they will definitely earn less than transporting it themselves."
This was the igedi Comrce Association’s original grain rchant division, now just transporting grain inward instead of outward.
This Thousand River Valley white sugar trade company still needs its own reliable people.
As for the Falan’s attitude towards bulk white sugar trading, Catherine gave her guarantee that the Falan Royal Family would certainly agree.
Although the Falan Kingdom consolidated financial control over most areas, it did not abolish the nobility and their privileges, with local nobles monopolizing much of the trade and goods.
Things like white sugar are monopolized by the nobles of the Clove Corridor, the Falan Royal Family would certainly welco this unexpected fortune.
They might even assist Horn in selling white sugar, using administrative power to force local nobles to comply.
After going over the whole process with the two of them, they finally understood Horn’s plan.
Louise furrowed her brow tightly, "You two are making a fortune, and I only get the grain?"
"Not only." Horn shook his hand, "You can also sell the grain internally in Black Snake Bay. Besides, I’m going to import sothing from you."
"What?"
"Sli."
The only limitation of Horn’s sli drip sugar technique is the quantity of sli.
The sli from Daze Village will certainly not et the booming demand of the sugar industry.
A business with imnse profits that never fails, who wouldn’t want to do it? As soon as the situation in Thousand River Valley stabilizes, or even before it stabilizes, there will be plenty of wealthy rchants flocking to Horn with money.
The 25 sugar workshops are just the beginning. When the price of white sugar is driven so low that operating a workshop normally results in a loss, only then will the number of sugar workshops gradually stabilize.
Not to ntion the consumption of mortar for sli juice.
There may be hundreds of workshops in the future, or even more, and slaughtering all the slis in Daze Village won’t be enough.
Luckily, Black Snake Bay is overrun with slis, and Horn plans to establish a sli farm and sli workshop there to produce the corresponding gel and sli juice.
Horn can achieve this not because he is a genius, but because of the wisdom of those before him.
The formulas for sli juice, mortar, sli gel, and mountain copper were all devised by predecessors.
But constrained by the limitations of the tis, they couldn’t fully utilize them.
However, Horn’s thousands of, potentially developing to tens of thousands, Alchemist Priests, are the exclusive guarantee for these alchemy workshops.
Once these sli workshops are established, to whom will they sell their products? None other than the Salvation Army.
That makes Horn their provider once again.
Then even if Black Snake Bay wants to oppose Horn, the people underneath, dependent on hundreds of thousands of sli farm workers, can’t even cast a vote against him.
But for now, he still has to put on a show.
After explaining his idea about the sli workshop, Louise frowned and looked at him, "Aren’t you exposing the formula by doing this? Aren’t you afraid... ah, I understand now."
Horn smiled knowingly. Even if the formula is exposed, it doesn’t matter; where else would others find so many Alchemist Priests, not to ntion the ’Labor Law’ like a sword hanging over their heads.
In terms of alchemical industry, who can compare to Horn in terms of labor force level and scale?
Louise looked at Horn’s smiling face with an inscrutable expression, thought for a while, yet said nothing.
After all, he is the son-in-law, and these things from the Ruo’an Faction ultimately belong to them anyway. If they gain, so be it; after all, they’re one family.
