Li Lu listened to Qin Xiluo's story and did not debunk his lies, because Li Lu needs such a pioneering businessman, in Li Lu's opinion, even if Qin Xiluo sells slaves overseas, as long as he does not extend his evil hand to Li Lu's basic plate, that is, those Han people and Sinicized Hu people, even if Qin Xiluo hurts the heavens and reason, Li Lu will not punish him, on the contrary, he has to protect him, because businessmen like Qin Xiluo can bring sufficient labor resources to Li Lu's plantations in Tianzhu and the Nanyang Islands.In these plantations, all the black slaves were castrated and handed over to the management of the Tianzhu people who incarnated as dogs, and these dog-legged Tianzhu people were generally Vaishyas, and a few were bankrupt Kshatriyas, who were like sheepdogs, managing the black slaves for the Han plantation owners, driving them to work with leather whips and knives and guns, to create value for the Han masters.Li Lu has a lot of plantations directly controlled by the royal family in Tianzhu, like the plantation they currently live in is one of them, there is nothing else in this plantation except sugarcane, when Li Lu and his family moved in, it was the sugarcane harvest season, when they entered the sugarcane forest of the plantation, they saw several Tianzhu overseers whipping a few black slaves with whips, "Daddy, why are those Kunlun slaves beaten??"
”Li Lu's youngest daughter, Li Meng, blinked her eyes like black jewels and asked her father.Li Lu did not answer directly, but called the head of the overseer, "Muladi, come, come here, come over and ......"
The head of the overseer of the plantation, Muladi, was originally a Kshatriya, when Li Lu established a plantation here, he heard that this plantation belonged to Li Lu, so he found someone to dredge up the relationship, and entered as an overseer, when he saw Li Lu calling him, he ran over, "Respected Wheel Saint King, what is the matter with your name Xiao?"
”"My daughter wants to know why those Kunlun slaves were beaten......
Li Lu said with a smile."
Your Royal Highnesses, princesses, you don't know, these rammed goods only know how to eat, don't know how to work, others can carry twenty or thirty sugarcane at a time, they are good, they take two or three at a time, and they are walking so slowly......"
Mulard looked at the few black slaves who were screaming, with a look of disdain, "These lazy ......"
"Mulardy, have these black slaves ever resisted??"
”Li Lu asked suddenly."
Your Majesty, according to your orders, we have implemented strict management of them, plus the food on our royal plantation is not bad, they have only made one anti-......"
Mulard hurriedly expressed his merits, "The year before last, because there was a tribal prince among the black slaves transported, this goods instigated the black slaves to fight against us, and they attacked us with machetes that cut sugar cane, but we suppressed them......"
"Muladi, you mean, those black slaves on other plantations are much worse off than the black slaves on the royal plantations?"
”Li Lu frowned."
No, Your Majesty, the old men of the other plantations will not provide these Kunlun slaves with plenty of food like you, they are all squeezed to death......
Mulard said.Thinking of this, Li Lu immediately transferred an infantry division based on Tianzhu native soldiers, not long after the 15th Division of Tianzhu secretly entered the town, the Kunlun slaves in the town were unbearable to the oppression of the slave owners, and they held a riot, but under the ruthless blow of the British army, more than 3,000 Kunlun slaves who participated in the riot were hung by the British army and cut off their heads.After the bloody suppression of the Kunlun Nu rebellion, Li Lu popularized his model of managing Kunlun Nu, those plantation owners are not stupid, who wants to raise Kunlun Nu who runs away all the time and is very hostile to himself, isn't it?
After this episode passed, Li Lu personally led the children down the sugarcane field, he asked his children to experience the hard work of farming, and by the way, he led them to boil sugar with their own hands, and had an ancient version of "Where did Daddy go"."
Daddy, what's so hard about this?
This sugarcane is one with one knife, why don't you cut it for eight thousand in a day??
”After Li Zhan heard Li Lu say that cutting sugarcane was a manual job, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.The little guy was holding a machete, and the whirlwind generally pounced on the sugarcane forest, and he felt that this was not easy, and a single sugarcane could not cut thousands of sugarcane in a day.But when he had cut about forty or fifty sugar canes, he felt that his wrists were so heavy that he could hardly hold the machete."
Hahaha, copper lock, how's it going, bragging about it, right?
Who said he could cut eight thousand??
”Li Xiang giggled when she saw that her brother was deflated, and the little girl complained about her brother while nibbling on the sweet sugar cane."
Where did I brag about it??
Xiaoxiang, if you look at it, you will know that I have cut a lot of ..... after eating......"
Li Zhan replied without showing weakness."
Alright, alright, stop arguing....."
As the eldest sister, Li Qiurui stood up, "Everyone gathered the sugarcane, bundled it up and loaded it into the car, Daddy said, today he wants us to see how the sugar is made......
It's all good....."
After listening to Li Qiurui's words, the bear children sped up, and when they panted to deliver the sugar cane to the sugar boiling workshop on the plantation, they found that their father was already waiting for them at the door of the workshop without knowing when.When several male babies worked together to carry the sugarcane down, they found their father, carrying a chicken and came over, "Daddy, didn't you say that you want to lead us to boil sugar in person, what are you carrying this big rooster for?"
”On behalf of her younger siblings, Li Qiurui asked the doubts in her heart."
This chicken is used to sacrifice this sugar press", Li Lu pointed to the hand-cranked juicer with his right finger, "This is a tradition handed down by our Chinese ancestors, in order to bless us with smooth squeezing, good sugar, and bless our life with sweetness." ”After Li Lu finished speaking, he ordered a few babies to clean the sugar cane and prepare to press it, while he himself sent the rooster to the sacrificial table and sacrificed to the sugar god.With the assistance of a few brocade guards, the babies washed the sugarcane, and chopped them into the juicer, and the sugarcane juice was filtered several times and transported to the barrels next to the cauldrons by the connected pipes.Li Lu's sugar boiling workshop Li Lu's cauldron has a total of six large iron pots, these six large iron pots are on a stove, with such a stove, can reduce the addition of firewood, is conducive to retaining heat, and the control of heat is also the key to boiling sugar.A few babies saw these mouthfuls and asked their fathers why they didn't build stoves separately, Li Lu said with a smile, "We are making handmade brown sugar today, and the heat is very particular, we have to burn the edge skin of the wood first, and then take the long-rooted bamboo and put it in and burn it all the time, so that the five or six pots of Unicom can be heated, so that the fire is great, and the sugar is good." ”To boil sugar, this first step is to wash the pot.Under the command of Li Lu, several babies were in a hurry, and finally lit the fire, when the fire was red, Li Lu scooped a spoonful of sesame oil into the pot, only to see that the pot was burning in an instant, and then put in water, wash the pot, after the pot was cleaned, Li Lu put the pre-squeezed sugarcane juice into the pot, stirred slowly with a spatula, and removed the residue on the side of the pot.Li Qiurui, the smartest among the babies, noticed that these big iron pots were not the same size, so she asked her father, what is the mystery of this arrangement, Li Lu looked at his eldest daughter with relief, and then said, "These iron pots are sorted from the entrance of sugarcane juice from large to small, the largest is placed at the entrance of sugarcane juice here, the sugar water comes down to catch the foam, and after the foam is cleaned up, these four or five pots are the same as boiling sugar water, and the remaining small sip is used to fill with water, clean up the brush handle, scoop these, Do not stick to other impurities into the sugar water. ”With Li Lu's operation, the syrup became thicker and thicker, and Li Lu said to Li Zhan and Li Song and other male children, "You guys go and spread the prepared bamboo mat on the wooden frame, and then put the bamboo frame that was cleaned just now, Daddy will pour the syrup in a while......"
Li Lu saw that it was almost boiled, so he asked a few little girls to stop the fire, he put on a pair of cowhide gloves, picked up the last iron pot, carefully poured the syrup into the frame, and then smoothed the surface with bamboo strips to let it cool naturally."
Daddy, how long will it take to eat delicious brown sugar?"
A few little babies are foodies, and they are staring at the syrup."
After an hour, it's all right....."
Li Lu said with a smile, "These brown sugar are very sweet, you can eat them, but you can't eat more, if you eat too much, you will have tooth decay ......"
Li Lu showed the children today that the sugar boiling method is not granulated sugar, but the famous local brown sugar, which is completely natural crystallization by physical methods, and the granulated sugar produced by many sugar workshops under his rule is essentially different.Not far away, Princess Changle and a few other daughters-in-law of Li Lu, looking at their men like a big child, with the children at home, playing there, yes, in their eyes, Li Lu is playing with the children, "It's not easy for the husband, he is busy with government affairs all day, and it is rare to have leisure time to accompany the children....""
He's deepening his relationship with the children......"
"This husband of ours, it seems that he can do anything, you see, he can even boil sugar...""
He also has something that he can't do....""
What is it?""
He won't have children.....""
Poof, Irina, your joke, it's so cold....."
Li Lu's ear is very good, he heard the whispers of several of his daughters-in-law not far away, he smiled slightly in his heart, am I entertaining, okay?
