Chapter 191 Brown Sugar Shocked the Officials
"Okay, take the pot down!"

After Ying Changsheng's order was issued, the eunuchs on the side didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and hurriedly brought down the iron pot placed on the stove, only seeing Ying Zheng and others, they hurriedly gathered around and stared at In the iron pot, the essence of a pile of sugarcane juice is boiled.

Unable to bear it, he exclaimed.

"Is this the candy your kid is talking about?"

"Yes, father!"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng nodded quickly. He pointed to the sugar that had gradually solidified in the iron pot, then nodded and explained.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

As he said that, Ying Changsheng stretched out his hand and took a small spoon from the eunuch at the side, then dug out a small piece from it, and immediately presented it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng took it in his hand, then put it in his mouth, and began to taste it carefully.

When it looked like this, the slightly darker sugar was sent into the mouth by Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Just heard, he said with emotion.

"This thing is too sweet, isn't it?"

Well, the sweetness of sugar shocked Ying Zheng.

This is quite normal.

The current era.

Sweetness is an extremely precious taste.

hard to come by.

It can only be obtained through honey and fruit.

In this situation.

Sweets are not too difficult to obtain.

Therefore, winning the government at this time will appear to be so shocking.

Wang Jian and Li Si on the side were also surprised when they saw Ying Zheng's performance. Then, they carefully tasted the candy that Ying Changsheng handed over, and then they were also shocked by this. Regret lived.

"This is really sweet!"

"Yeah, it's even better than honey!"

"Isn't it, it's like honey!"

Wang Jian said with emotion.

Li Si on the side said thoughtfully.

"And, this thing is definitely much stronger than honey!"

Yes, honey is sweet, though.

However, the problem is.

The honey stuff.

It's hard to get.

Because honey is collected bit by bit by bees.

The difficulty is so great that it should not be too high.

The reserves are really too small. Under such circumstances, there are really not many people who can eat honey.

Even a wealthy family would not be willing to eat more.

Under such circumstances, this candy appears to be particularly precious.

At the same time, Ying Zheng is also quite happy.

I saw it, Ying Zheng said excitedly.

"With this candy, in the future, after capturing Baiyue, the imperial court will be profitable!"

"Yes, as far as I know, this sugar cane is just something that can be seen everywhere in the Lingnan area. If the imperial court can plant sugar cane on a large scale in the area, it will definitely be able to develop Baiyue, and it can also make us The people of Great Qin can afford sweets..."

Li Si nodded and said.

Immediately, he looked at the congealed sucrose in the iron pot, and said with emotion.

"It's just that, the color of this thing, it doesn't look very pretty!"

Well, sucrose of the moment.

The color is really not good.

Sucrose, although Ying Changsheng can do it, relying on his advanced historical knowledge, he successfully extracted it.

But here's the problem.

Sucrose of the moment.

Purification is too difficult.

So, sucrose is produced.

The color looks.

It's rather ugly.

It is reddish brown.

I saw that Ying Zheng said to Ying Changsheng.

"Changsheng, this thing, have you given him a name?"

"Father, I haven't come in time, so I'm going to give this thing a name!"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng immediately moved towards Ying Zhengdao.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh, and then said a name. Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said.

"This candy looks quite red in color. Why not just call it brown sugar!"

"Uh……"

Hearing the name of Ying Zhengci.

Several black lines appeared on Ying Changsheng's forehead.

Well, this stuff, indeed its real name is brown sugar.

Brown sugar is essentially early sucrose, which cannot be purified into white, and it is just a product of white sugar.

But for Ying Zheng, this name was given.

Ying Changsheng did not object.

Immediately, he praised Ying Zheng.

"The name given by the emperor is very suitable for the occasion, and my son thinks it is good!"

"What about the two of you?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Prime Minister Li Si and Wang Jian.

The two men immediately handed over to Ying Zhengdao.

"Your Majesty's name is good, I think it's okay!"

"well!"

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this, he nodded, and then said to Ying Changsheng.

"This candy tastes really good!"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng said to the eunuchs beside him.

"These several thousand catties of sugarcane will be made into cane sugar. Tomorrow, I will bring it to the court and distribute it to the officials to taste, so that the officials can also see and see this thing, and let them know , I am not without profit in attacking the land of Baiyue!"

"Let them know, too!"

"Building a road is not useless!"

"Father is wise!"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng hurriedly said to Ying Zheng.

Convince officials with facts.

Compared with before, Yingzheng used his majesty to force the ministers to do things, much stronger.

The next day.

Morning above.

When the morning court was held again.

The ministers are preparing for the memorial.

on the dragon chair.

Ying Zheng opened his mouth suddenly, and then said to the officials.

"Today in my morning court, I will not discuss state affairs for now!"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Immediately, outside the hall, a group of waiting ladies poured into the hall.

These maids are holding a tray in their hands, and inside the tray is a piece of brown sugar that has been marked!
These brown sugars are not powdered, but made into blocks.

Ministers.

He looked at the things in the trays of the ladies in puzzlement.

Unusual.

look at each other.

At this time, Ying Zheng on the dragon chair opened his mouth and explained to the officials.

"My dear friends, do you know what this is?"

"I don't know if I wait!"

For a while, the ministers opened their mouths towards Yingzheng.

At this time, Ying Zheng explained.

"This thing is sugar!"

"what?"

For a while, the officials were surprised again and again.

The current Daqin does have sugar.

However, the sugar in Daqin is the original maltose.

That thing is completely different from brown sugar, so, for a while, no one thought that brown sugar was sugar.

Looking at the surprised reactions of the ministers.

Ying Zheng laughed and continued.

"Now, what I'm telling you is!"

"This is the brown sugar extracted from the sugarcane in the land of Baiyue, all my loves, please try it!"

"promise!"

Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but became interested, and then nodded one after another. Immediately, they grabbed the brown sugar in the tray, stuffed it into their mouths, and tasted the taste of the brown sugar!
