Chapter 113, the trouble is coming
After all, in this other world, sugar food is a luxury that only royal families, ministers, nobles and even high priests of various churches can enjoy...
The sugar crops here not only have very low yields, but the most important thing is that the methods of making sugar liquid are extremely backward.
They usually plant a plant called the Aro tree as a source of sugar.
It takes three years for the Arrow tree to be harvested. When harvesting, they will directly cut down the Arrow tree, chop the trunks, put them in a pot and add water to boil.
Each Aro tree trunk can only be made into two kilograms of brown sugar.
Only ten Ara trees can be planted per mu of land, which is nothing. The key is that this Ara trees consume a lot of ground power, making it take five years for land planted to be fallow before they can be replanted.
From this we can see how high the price of this brown sugar will be.
After hearing Kurus' explanation, Jia Kedao couldn't help but curl his lips and asked him to say that these barbarians are barbarians.
The Alu tree should be a tree similar to a rubber tree, and the boiled brown sugar should probably be made from the bark juice of the Alu tree.
You can directly obtain the stock solution from Alushu by cutting glue, and you don’t need to cut wood to get the liquid at all.
In this way, the sap can be obtained continuously. As for the issue of ground abilities, do you not understand adding some farm fertilizer?
At this time, Jia Kedao's heart would feel an inexplicable sense of superiority.
No, this is the gap in civilization.
Of course, Jia Kedao would not say this to Kurus. Since these dried sweet potatoes are so attractive to them, it is good to act as hard currency if you have the chance in the future. But now, these dried sweet potatoes should be added to your daily diet to reduce wheat consumption.
When Kurus heard that Jia Kedao wanted to add dried sweet potatoes to his diet, he not only did not feel grateful, but also protested directly. In his opinion, how could those untouchables be qualified to eat such delicious food? Just give them bread as it is. If it really doesn't work, add more wheat bran and other things to the bread, and they can't starve them to death.
Jia Kedao not only did not blame him for such a despicable idea, but instead praised him a few words, but this matter cannot be changed. After all, Jia Kedao made the decision on Aoki Valley, not Kurusi.
Of course, looking at Kurus's somewhat frustrated look, Jia Kedao smiled and did not tell him that the sweet potatoes that had accumulated in the warehouse after receiving the goods were the predecessors of the dried sweet potatoes.
Soon, during dinner, Jia Kedao asked several chefs to mix sweet potatoes into the noodle soup according to their instructions.
When the people in the valley ate this noodle soup, most of them were extremely confused. It was a very pleasant taste that they had never eaten, but guys like Kurus who had eaten brown sugar immediately understood.
This is sugar! Although it is much lower than brown sugar in terms of sweetness, it is still sugar.
No wonder the priest wanted to fill these things as food, and it turned out that the valley could produce them by itself.
As soon as he thought of this, Coulens couldn't help but see countless gold coins in his mind. It seemed that this place would become an extremely rich place in the future.
Not to mention the thoughts in Coulens' mind, once he knew that this taste was sweet of sugar, many people in the valley were excited and bowed down in the direction of the statue of the land, chanting praises in a vague manner.
Jia Kedao has no regrets about this. These natives are like this. Once they have any benefits, they will first thank the gods they believe in. As for Jia Kedao, who really made efforts to plan in this, in their eyes, they just follow the will of the gods. They have made contributions, but they are not very good.
However, Jia Kedao did not care about the gratitude of these indigenous people. Instead, he was secretly happy that the more pious these indigenous people were to the land, the more incense the land could absorb and gradually become stronger.
After all, in this other world, Jia Kedao's biggest helper is this land.
After dinner, Jia Kedao did not waste time and ordered Terrence and the others to look forward to Aoki Valley, while he took Audis to the road overnight and returned to the Black Light Gate.
There are two reasons to take Audis back. One is that Audis has not returned to Laojun Watch for some time and is willing to go back and take a look. The second reason is that he takes Audis back and asks him to choose a Daguan knife as a weapon. He has to spend some time engraving talismans on the Daguan knife.
After all, Audis is now the number one thug under Jia Kedao, so how could he not train him well?
When I returned to Laojun Temple, I just got up the next morning and was in charge of guarding the gate and sitting in the communication room. Old Man Zheng, who was part-time answering the landline phone call, came to the door: "Guanzhu, I'll call you to call me for the door. I heard it was from the county religious bureau."
Religious Bureau?
Jia Kedao couldn't help but be stunned. It has been almost six years since Jia Kedao took charge of Laojun's observation alone, and he had only had a few opportunities to deal with the county religious bureau.
When Jia Kedao thought of these exchanges with the county religious bureau, he felt very angry.
Laojun Temple is a registered unit of the National Taoist Association, and is naturally a formal religious place. It enjoys local religious support subsidies in accordance with policy regulations.
There are about 1,000 yuan a year. Although this amount is not much, it is also a rare source of wealth for Laojunguan, who is short of funds.
When the old master was alive, the money could be obtained every year. When Jia Kedao's new man took office and went to the county town to collect the funds, the staff told the new leader to take office, and all financial plans were temporarily frozen.
Jia Kedao can understand this. If the new leader takes office, he must understand the situation and not let his subordinates cheat him.
But Jia Kedao ran to the Religious Bureau several times afterwards, and the answers he received were different, but the essential point was that he could not get the money.
In the end, the old man Wang, who was guarding the religious bureau, hinted to Jia Kedao, "You are too honest. If you want to get this money, how can you not offer it?"
Jia Kedao was stunned at the time, and finally followed the righteousness, bought a few bottles of wine and cigarettes, and pulled his face and went to the new director's home.
As a result, the director smiled and asked his wife to take the cigarettes and alcohol in. The only problem was that when Jia Kedao left, the other party made an official voice again.
This made Jia Kedao a little confused, and he didn't receive the money after that.
Jia Kedao was a little simpler at that time, and in anger he sued the director.
As a result, they had already handed over the tobacco and alcohol.
In the end, Jia Kedao did not receive the money, but instead lost money.
Later, Jia Kedao understood how the other party could see that tobacco and alcohol. He asked his wife to bring the tobacco and alcohol in, just to check if there were any red envelopes inside.
