The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

During this period, Su Anton in Nanling Prefecture was also very busy.

Su Andong was busy getting familiar with the situation of the Nanling Prefecture Office. It must be said that the emperor attached great importance to this office and gave Su Andong a lot of authority.

When Su Anton arrived, there were more than 20 people in the office, which was definitely not enough. Su Anton could recruit people according to the situation and dismiss those he was not satisfied with. Su Anton had the absolute right to appoint and dismiss people.

The emperor also equipped Su Andong with a thousand-man army, which was considered to be the soldiers of the main office and directly obeyed Su Andong's orders. The leader of this thousand-man army was called Shen Da, a sixth-rank general.

The reason why the emperor gave Su Andong this team was to make it easier for Su Andong to manage the military households. With these soldiers, people are always afraid. At the same time, it will also let the officials of Nanling Prefecture know that the emperor attaches great importance to Su Andong and dare not treat Su Andong perfunctorily.

After figuring out the basic setup of the main office, Su Anton began to visit various military household areas to see what the military households were growing and what could be used.

Nanling Prefecture is very large, and it took a long time to walk through the various military households. The running around during this period made Su An Dong and his son thinner and darker. If Su Yuanyuan saw them like this, she would definitely laugh at them.

There were many military households in Nanling Prefecture, and the crops they planted were also very diverse, including grains, fruit trees, and flowers, among which were potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Before coming to Nanling Prefecture, Su Andong had discussed the vermicelli workshop with Yang Jingning. Yang Jingning agreed that Su Andong's office could open a vermicelli workshop.

After Su Andong made a round of inspection, he began to build a vermicelli workshop. He selected several military households suitable for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes to build vermicelli workshops.

Sugarcane is also grown here, and Su An Dong wanted to build a sugar factory, but obviously this would affect the interests of others, so Su An Dong submitted a memorial to the emperor for instructions, explaining his ideas in detail.

The sugar factory that Su An Dong wants to build will mainly produce brown sugar, and will also produce white sugar, but the white sugar will not be sold to the outside world. The white sugar produced will only be kept for self-use.

The emperor approved Su Anton's idea and allowed him to build a sugar factory.

Nanling Prefecture has many fruit trees of various varieties, and Su Andong wants to produce canned and preserved fruits for sale. These all require sugar, so producing and using sugar by oneself can reduce production costs.

Su An Dong did not sell sugar to the public in order not to affect the interests of other people's sugar. Su An Dong thought that he had just arrived and it was not appropriate to make a big move, as that would seem a bit arrogant.

But then again, making money for the Office of the Chief for military use would inevitably affect the interests of others. However, with the Emperor as their backer, these people did not dare to go too far.

Furthermore, if they prevented the Office from making money, would they donate all the money for the military? Everyone knew that whoever prevented the emperor from recovering the southern border would not want to live.

After receiving the emperor's reply, Su An Dong began to build a sugar factory. Su An Dong had already chosen the location for the sugar factory, which was also built in a place where there were more sugarcane plants.

No matter what factory you build, you need money. Su Andong did this and that as soon as he came to Nanling Prefecture, and it really cost a lot of money. It was also thanks to the income that the military households handed in to the Office of the Chief Official in the past two years that the money was not collected by the court, but was kept in the Office of the Chief Official for military use. Otherwise, according to the way Su Andong spent money, I am afraid he would not be able to afford it long ago.

The household department of the main office had a thorough understanding of Su Andong's ability to spend money. The head of the household department was named Zhou. He had doubts about Su Andong's spending, but the emperor had instructed that all matters of the main office should be decided by Su Andong, so Director Zhou did not raise any objections.
