"Fuck! I've changed my new car, right?" It was probably because I received a message from Bo Jiao. Luo Youde and Luo Dacai and two friends were already waiting on the dock. Unlike in the past, there were two horses standing behind them. Hong Tao confirmed that it was a horse, not a mule or a donkey. The Southern Song Dynasty lacked horses, so horses were very expensive in the Southern Song Dynasty, especially in the south, which was even more expensive.

"Lao Luo, how much does this horse cost? Don't say I'm giving it to me, I just ask the price!" How much does the horses in the Southern Song Dynasty cost? Hong Tao really didn't ask, so it's not easy to ask now.

"This is a vast four feet per inch, not worth a little silver or eighty cents!" Luo Youde patted the horse behind him. Although it was not worth much, the expression on his face was obviously quite expensive.

"Eighty stakes are quite expensive, but does Guangnan East Road still produce horses?" Hong Tao felt that 80 stakes per horse was not cheap. The main reason was that these two horses were not too tall, four feet per inch, less than one meter and three meters high, which was similar to the horses that tourists rode and played with in the amusement park, and there was a little difference from military horses.

"It is produced on Guangnan West Road. If it were a Dali horse, the quality would be better and the price would be much higher." Luo Youde handed the reins of one of the horses to Hong Tao, meaning that he would say while walking.

"Forget it, I rode my legs on the ground, but I felt comfortable walking around. Lao Luo, how much can I get a 5-foot-high horse to sell?" Hong Tao was not used to the feeling of riding his horse and letting Luo Dacai follow him, so he was so pretextualized that the horse was too short and did not ride, but led the horse side by side with Luo Youde towards his small courtyard, and chatted while walking.

"5 feet! Then... that's not a magic horse! Such horses are not even seen in the north, and there are any in your hometown?" Although Luo Youde took quick-acting heart-saving pills in advance when talking to Hong Tao, he was still scared.

The horse he bought should be a Guangxi horse. It is a small horse. It is only 1.2.3 meters tall and cannot be used as a war horse. It is more suitable for mountain transportation. Mongolian horses are actually not much taller, more than 1.3 meters tall, at most 1.4 meters tall, but Mongolian horses have good endurance and are not very picky of feed, so they can support it. They are considered a good breed among war horses. Dali horses should be considered a plateau horse breed, stronger than Guangxi horses, and similar to Mongolian horses, but the number is obviously not as large as Mongolian horses. It is estimated that most people in this era have seen such horses, Arabian horses, Andalusian horses, and English horses. Among those horse breeds, 1.5 meters tall is considered short, and a 3-year-old man is less than 1.6 meters tall, even if he is half disabled. There is also a kind of big horse in Europe, weighing more than 900 kilograms, almost one ton, and over 1.7 meters tall. It takes some effort for ordinary people to ride it.

"Hehehe, there is no one in my hometown. But I know where it is. It's in his hometown, Carl, tell Boss Luo, how tall is the horse in your hometown?" Hong Tao no longer used his illusory hometown to fool people. He doesn't need to fool this time, there are witnesses and the truth!

"Fifteen palms! This horse has up to eleven palms, which is too short." Carl's method of calculating the height of the horse is very unique, and he uses the horse's forefoot as unit.

"Gudong... It's a pity, it's a pity that it's too far..." Although the streets were noisy, Hong Tao could clearly hear Luo Youde's saliva.

"Actually, it's not too far. Have you seen my two big ships? Two months is enough. You can run two round trips a year. If you don't say much about one ship, you can have ten horses. How much can one be sold?" Hong Tao did not intend to sell horses at first, but after Luo Youde said that, it seems that it is awesome to get a tall horse back. It's a bit like the high-end sports car imported from abroad in later generations. One car can earn one hundred million. It's a business that doesn't open for half a year and eats for half a year. This thing is most suitable for sea transportation, because the sea transportation time span is large, and the more expensive the transportation, the higher the profit.

"This, this... it's not easy for a thousand gold coins... Brother Wei doesn't know how to sell it..." Luo Youde didn't expect Hong Tao to get the god of horses back, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. If you ask a man driving Santana to suddenly tell you who to get dozens of Lamborghini to sell for and how much it should be sold, he will definitely not be able to answer.

"Brother Luo, do you think if you give those divine horses to the official family, will the official family give you an official?" Seeing Luo Youde's expression, Hong Tao suddenly had another thought in his heart. He had been thinking about how to talk to the Southern Song court. He originally expected that Luo Youde could act as an intermediary after becoming more developed. Now it seems a bit difficult, or it has been too long. If he could provide the Southern Song court with a steady stream of high-quality horses, would it be a good opportunity?

"Ah! I offer my horse! This...Brother Hong, you are really hard for your brother..." Luo Youde still spread his hands together, which was even more straightforward than asking him to sell horses, I don't know!

"Well, let's talk about this matter in the future. Let's talk about the issue of squeezing sugar first. You go and prepare ten kilograms of candy for me. I'll show you my skills, and then let's talk about the following." If Luo Youde said that he would definitely be promoted and asked Hong Tao to hurry up and make a high-headed big horse, then Hong Tao really didn't dare to continue to cooperate with him, which was too dishonest. The more he said he didn't know, the more Hong Tao believed him, because at his level, although his family had a background in official affairs, he had never been in contact with official matters, and it was even more impossible to know what the emperor would reward him. Not knowing is the most correct answer. The profitable transaction of squeezing sugar is rewarded as a prize, rewarding him for his honesty to his partners. This quality Hong Tao feels is precious than much money, and he must be rewarded and rewarded!

If you want a small businessman like Luo Youde to do business with him, you have to give him some confidence. What is confidence? It is to turn brown sugar into snow-like white sugar and rock sugar in front of him. It is too troublesome to start making sugar from sugar cane juice. It is better to skip the intermediate links and start directly with brown sugar. Hong Tao believes that Luo Youde's brain can understand his meaning. Using sugar cane to squeeze juice to make brown sugar is not a new thing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

So, in Luo Youde's courtyard, Hong Tao began his trick in front of Luo Youde and Luo Dacai. First, melt the brown sugar with water, stir it into sugar water, poured a small bag of bone charcoal she carried with her, and then stirred it. Then, the magic appeared! The originally yellow brown sugar water became clearer and clearer. When Hong Tao stopped stirring, a layer of yellow soft mud slowly accumulated under the water, which was the precipitate of pigments and impurities in the bone charcoal and sugar water.

Now you only need to pour out the sugar water, heat it slowly, evaporate it, and wait for it to crystallize again. The one that does not completely crystallize and still contains moisture is white sugar, and the one that does not have moisture is rock sugar. However, if the sugar made by Hong Tao is sold in later generations, it is still not valuable because it is not very white. If you want to achieve the purity of the sugar in later generations, it will not be possible with this simple process.

"Brother Hong is sure to make arrangements, and I will follow my plan!" The sugar was just made and couldn't wait for the rock sugar to take shape. After Luo Youde took a bite, he bowed and accepted it. This time he was really convinced! In his opinion, this sugar was already very white. When it was put into the mouth of the literati, it was Bai Rufroshuangxue. They even had a lighter brown sugar called frosting. Their imagination and exaggeration ability were not as powerful as ten kilograms of brown sugar. There was not much sugar produced. Even if it was lost one tenth, the price of this kind of snow-like white sugar was definitely not comparable to that of brown sugar. Even if the remaining half was left, it would be huge profits!

Luo Youde could figure this out without thinking carefully. What is the problem when Hong Tao comes to him to do this experiment? It means he wants to do this huge profitable transaction with him. What is this? This is affection! With this skill, Hong Tao is always a VIP wherever he goes, and he has to be offered a gift every day. If he is still anxious to talk about shares with Hong Tao at this time, he is really unworthy of being a businessman. When someone comes to you to cooperate, it is equivalent to giving you a great fortune for nothing. You still think that others don’t give enough and are picky. Such people deserve to be poor, they are poor!

"Hehehe, don't do this with me. Just bowing doesn't work. I have a few conditions to discuss with you. We have discussed it. We will start making sugar tomorrow. If the discussion is not good, I will give you a month. You slowly think about it. I will never look for other people in this month. How about it? You are so loyal!" Hong Tao didn't take Luo Youde's style. As a businessman, you can kneel down and call you father immediately, but when you need to take responsibility, he will immediately turn his back on his face and call you grandson. When dealing with a businessman, there is no need to look at what he says, what he calls, what he calls, what he calls, how he calls him, how he calls him, how he does it. The more straightforward he is, the better.

"Let me listen carefully!" Luo Youde saw that his self-sacrifice skills did not work, so he put away the gratitude expression on his face. He sat down honestly and listened to Hong Tao that he would definitely not say anything like letting Brother Hong take charge at this time, and he was tight-lipped. (To be continued.)
