Chapter 48 Luo Yu is shocked by bee breeding
Led by Xiaoling, Zhao Yi went to another private room in the building.

Luo Yu had been waiting inside for a long time.

Finally she saw Zhao Yi walk in.

This is to keep Your Majesty in Shaqiu County.

Let His Majesty kill all the alchemists in the palace.

A great talent that Yu Ji admired.

Is it Zhao Yi, the source of all the recent changes in Daqin?

This is too cute.

What did you eat growing up?

The face is so chubby.

I really want to pinch it.

Luo Yu resisted the urge to pinch Zhao Yi's face and asked in a serious tone, "Are you the Zhao Yi that Yu Ji mentioned? What are you looking for me for?"

Zhao Yi sat in front of Luo Yu.

"Yes, I am Zhao Yi. I want to discuss something with you. What is your name?"

"My name is Luo Yu, and I'm the manager of this caravan. So you want to take Yu Ji's indenture from me?" Luo Yu asked.

Zhao Yi nodded.

"You name a price. As long as it's not too high, I can accept it."

In fact, with your status, you can get it for free.

Not to mention Yu Ji, even the entire caravan would be fine.

Although he thought so in his heart, Luo Yu still had to pretend to be angry.

After all, the process must be followed, otherwise it would be bad if Zhao Yi became suspicious and realized something.

Your Majesty will definitely hold you accountable when the time comes.

"You know that Yu Ji is the top dancer that I spent a lot of effort to train. She is the most profitable when she is 18 years old! Every performance of hers can bring me countless money."

"You even know that someone was willing to spend a thousand coins to buy her virginity, but I didn't agree!"

"Because only if she is a virgin can I make more money."

"Yu Ji is not a commodity that can be measured by price!"

After receiving this reply, Zhao Yi was not at all panicked.

Because he had anticipated it and was prepared for it.

He understood that Luo Yu said so much just to raise Yu Ji's price.

She is a businessman! What matters most to her is profit.

There was nothing she wouldn't sell as long as there was enough profit.

But Zhao Yi had already prepared something that Luo Yu could not refuse.

"Don't worry, you'll be willing to make a deal with me."

Luo Yu understood as soon as he heard this.

I'm afraid Zhao Yi will have to offer something to trade with him.

In fact, this is what Luo Yu has always been looking forward to.

In this way, she can be connected with Zhao Yi.

She would have ample excuses to stay in Shaqiu County, which would soon become another center of Daqin, and not be driven away by His Majesty.

She was very curious about what Zhao Yi was going to trade with her.

"Oh? What makes you so confident?"

"You know honey is precious, right?"

"Of course! Honey is very rare and is a high-end food that only the upper class can enjoy. There is even a saying among the people that one pound of honey is worth ten coins."

"But honey is worth its value. After all, to collect honey, you need to organize a team to go into the deep mountains and forests, and you have to face attacks from various poisonous insects and wild beasts on the way."

Luo Yu's words were not false.

Because the technology of artificial bee breeding in China was not invented until the Jin Dynasty.

It was not until the Tang and Song dynasties that it became widely popular, and the price of honey began to drop.

Before this, honey had always been a luxury that only the upper class could enjoy.

After all, there are many dangers in collecting wild honey. In ancient times, wild animals were not protected animals. There were tigers and black bears everywhere in the wild, as well as various poisonous snakes.

The most important thing is that wild honey produces less honey.

During the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, presented Liu Bang with five hu of honey, which made Liu Bang very happy. It was about one or two hundred kilograms, which shows how precious honey was at that time.

As a modern man, Zhao Yi certainly knows the method of artificially cultivating honey.

Just build a beehive, then move a hive with a queen bee into it and let it continue nesting inside.

The hive is then moved to an area where food is plentiful.

Next, you can just wait for the bees to produce honey.

"So if I say I want to trade you the technology of bee breeding, would you be willing to trade?"

Luo Yu was completely shocked when he heard this.

what!
He actually has the skills to raise bees!
This way, you can have as much honey as you want!

Luo Yu certainly knew the value of this beekeeping technology.

The value of this technology is comparable to my aunt's family's cinnabar refining technology.

After all, honey is a luxury enjoyed by the upper class.

With this honey, he could establish good relationships with the nobles and build a terrifying network of contacts.

You can also pay tribute to His Majesty and gain His Majesty's favor and rewards.

Oh! He is Zhao Yi, and he doesn't need these things to win the favor of His Majesty.

With this technology, family difficulties will no longer be a problem.

Honey can have the same effect as cinnabar and maintain the family network.

Yu Ji, a top dancer, is nothing compared to this technology.

After all, a dancer is just a dancer and she will grow old.

Beekeeping technology can become the foundation of a family's inheritance, allowing the family to benefit forever. It is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money!
Even if Zhao Yi was not someone His Majesty particularly valued, Luo Yu could not refuse this deal.

Luo Yu said with emotion: "I admire you! I really admire you. I didn't expect you to use such skills for a dancer."

"You're right. I can't refuse you this deal."

No wonder this kid is valued by His Majesty.

Can easily come up with a beekeeping technique.

It's just too scary.

Little did he know that this bee breeding technology was nothing to Zhao Yi.

Because the village has beet planting and sugar-making technology.

So there is no shortage of sugar in Shahe Village.

So there is no need to eat any honey.

In addition, Zhao Yi also asked his father to promote the planting of sugar beets, but the purpose was not to sell sugar but to make explosives.

Sugar is one of the raw materials for making explosives.

Therefore, in modern times, sugar has always been a strategic reserve material.

Besides, even if the bee-breeding technology is handed over, it will not affect the bee-breeding in the village.

There are no laws protecting technology patents in this era.

Zhao Yi continued, "You also know the value of bee breeding technology, so I want to trade more than just Yu Ji. You have to agree to whatever Yu Ji wants to take away."

"Don't worry, I understand its value. Not to mention Yu Ji, I can even give you this caravan. But you have to promise me one thing."

"The bee breeding technology can only be passed on to me and you can no longer trade it with other people." Luo Yu said seriously.

"Don't worry, I know. I will only trade this technology with you."

"In that case, let's make a contract."

"Okay, but you have to stand the way I tell you to."

After that, Zhao Yi followed Luo Yu and briefly explained the rules and methods of signing a modern contract.

After listening to this, Luo Yu felt that this guy must be a business expert.

If you go into business, you will achieve amazing results.

However, even if he is not engaged in business, he can still get the attention of Your Majesty.
