The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

After the white sugar is produced, the next step is to negotiate the price.

How to set the price of sugar?

Mu Tingxue had her own plan: "First of all, we need to establish that white sugar, like refined salt, is a strategic material controlled by the state."

Yan Yang looked at her suddenly, and his heart felt like hot oil was poured on it.

Strategic materials?

That's military use!

When he was making sugar before, he had a strong hunch that it would be so convenient if it could be crushed into small cubes and carried along with the army!A small piece of white sugar contains extremely high energy and is worth a large bowl of rice.

And when he was stirring the yellow mud water, the barb on the wooden stick accidentally pricked his hand and it bled a little. His fiancée just sprinkled some sugar on it and it stopped the bleeding!It can be used medicinally!

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she became even more excited: "Your Highness, you mean that white sugar, like refined salt, needs to pay heavy taxes to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

This is a good thing!

After all, white sugar is sold to wealthy people, and paying heavy taxes means super high prices, which equals huge profits.

How much does salt cost?The manors and villas on both sides of the Woye River were all built by salt merchants.

"My suggestion is that the price of brown sugar, which originally cost sixty cents per tael, will be reduced to twenty cents; and the price of brown sugar, which cost thirty cents per tael, will be reduced to ten cents. And the best white sugar made by using the yellow mud water drenching method, Three taels of silver and one tael; medium white sugar, one tael of silver and one tael; low-grade brown sugar, one hundred and one tael."

Mu Tingxue said in a deep voice, "As for taxes, white sugar is taxed three times and one tax is charged, and ordinary brown sugar and brown sugar are taxed thirty one tax."

For sugar, price stratification is also required.

Luxury white sugar is priced at the same price, and ordinary brown sugar is priced at the same price.

Reduce the price of old brown sugar, such as brown sugar and brown sugar, to a level that the common people can easily afford.A person can only consume one kilogram of brown sugar a year, even if he drinks sugar water regularly. This is a price that ordinary families can afford.

"It's... so good!"

Mrs. Tang's hands under her long sleeves could not help but tremble slightly, her face glowing red, "The profit from white sugar is too high, thank you for the gift, Her Royal Highness! The Tang family is willing to provide all the local sugar houses to serve you, as long as two Profit is enough!"

One tael of white sugar, excluding taxes and all costs, still makes a profit of about one tael of silver.

If you can get [-]%, it means one tael of white sugar and two coins of silver.

Compared with when I was only doing brown sugar and brown sugar business, I have made several times more money!

"If the old lady can adjust the price of brown sugar and brown sugar in Yunhuang to the price that I want, and split it [-]-[-], that would be a good idea."

Mu Tingxue was very generous, in exchange for lowering the price of old brown sugar eaten by common people across the country.

We not only want the people to eat safe and low-priced salt, but also let the people eat clean and hygienic low-priced old brown sugar.

She couldn't bear to eat at home, and couldn't bear to put two grains of salt in it. The daughter-in-law at home was in confinement, and she couldn't bear to give a mouthful of brown sugar water or a sugar-watered egg to the mother.

As sugar is a strategically controlled material, she can directly set the price.

However, things like brown sugar and brown sugar are difficult for the government to directly operate. Sugar companies like the Tang family need to take the lead and carry out commercial regulation.

"Five...fifty percent?"

Mrs. Tang almost fainted.

She simply couldn't imagine that the eldest princess would give up half of the profits to the Tang Corporation?This is too generous!

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the price of brown sugar, let alone twenty cents and one tael, even ten cents and one tael, I can suppress it!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Mu Tingxue had not dared to lower the price of sixty cents too low before, lest it cause panic among the sugar merchants and cause huge market turmoil, but now that Mrs. Tang has given such a guarantee, she is relieved.

Say something bad.

Even if there is any problem in the brown sugar price market, Mrs. Tang will be the one to bear the blame.

Mrs. Tang is equivalent to a glove for her.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry." Mrs. Tang was a smart woman. She saw Mu Tingxue's concerns and explained, "Previously, the tax rate for brown sugar and brown sugar was five tax per one. You can reduce it to thirty tax per one. In addition, with the emergence of high-end white sugar, even if the price is reduced to one liang per ten cents, and the sugar carts and stone reels are doubled for juice extraction, out of these ten cents, there is still a profit of two or three cents."

After a pause, he continued, "If other individual local sugar houses also want to join in making white sugar, I will inspect and review them according to the standards you set before, and they will be incorporated based on the situation."

Mu Tingxue nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good."

The price has been negotiated, and so has the dividend.

Mu Tingxue asked Li Shilang to come forward and draw up a legally binding contract with very strict terms for Mrs. Tang to sign.

The Li family father and son are now her exclusive legal advisors.

At the same time, the Ministry of Household Affairs issued a speech on sugar tax adjustments.

In three days, all the local sugar houses in the Tang family produced the first batch of white sugar using the yellow mud water drenching method.

As soon as it was put on the market and sold in Yundu Tianlu, it caused a huge sensation!

He was strongly sought after by the nobles, aristocratic families, and officials in Yundu.

"This is the first time I have seen such pure and untainted white sugar. I will take it back and make white pastries. Madam will definitely like it."

"It's so beautiful, like snow, and tastes good. Only three taels of silver?"

"It's so cheap, I bought it!"

The price is prohibitive for the poor, but in the rich areas of Yundu, it is just drizzle.

Not to mention three taels of silver and one tael, even 30 taels, they can buy it without blinking an eye.

After buying it back, they also found that this kind of white sugar was easier to store than brown sugar and brown sugar, and it would not clump or get moldy or insect-producing.

"What? If you buy ten pounds, you still need to register?"

"I am the housekeeper of Tianqi Gongfu. My master asked me to buy [-] kilograms back. Your sweet house actually asked me to show my household registration certificate? Is there any mistake? You have never heard of the famous Nangong family? What the hell? Proof of residence."

The rich people who came to buy white sugar in large quantities were not happy.

What the heck, there’s a purchase limit?Want to register?

hateful!Doesn't this mean they don't take these nobles and aristocratic families seriously? The Tang family's Tianlu is too ignorant.

Facing riots.

Mrs. Tang personally came out to explain: "Please be patient, purchase restrictions and household registration are all in accordance with the "Strategic Materials Law" just issued by the Ministry of Punishment. According to the Mingzheng Code, white sugar is a strategic material. Please be considerate."

Is it unreasonable?

Mu Tingxue ignored the protests outside.

During World War II, pretty soldiers from China were able to sleep with women from China using a piece of candy;

Pepsi-Cola could trade sugar water for an entire Soviet naval fleet;

During the war, the price of grain and meat only increased twenty-fold, but the price of white sugar increased three hundred-fold, and the price was still low.

"Mom, is the purchase restriction registration too strict? There are a lot of complaints outside." Zebao was a little confused.

"Dry white sugar has no shelf life limit and can be stored permanently. It can directly provide energy to people, does not need to be cooked like rice, and has three times the calories. Eating sugar can also secrete dopamine and enhance happiness. .”

Zebao opened his mouth in surprise.

Mu Tingxue continued: "In the absence of medicine, white sugar can be sprinkled on the wound to quickly stop bleeding and inhibit bacterial growth. White sugar, which is small in size and light in weight, is equivalent to the combat effectiveness of one person in the army!"

This does not include the future application of white sugar in heavy industries such as gunpowder, biology, alcohol production, papermaking and chemical industry.
