People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

There is not much difference between imperata and cane sugar in essence.

After it is clear, directly add water to crush it, and then filter it.

Unlike sugar cane, the sugar content of coriander is too low, so lime milk needs to be added.

Then boil again, add lime milk again.

Subsequent to precipitation.

Precipitation removes non-sugar impurities.

Then concentrate.

That is to boil.

Due to the extremely low sugar content of coriander.

The sugar liquid left over from this cooking can be said to be pitifully small.

In the small courtyard, several cauldrons were steaming.

One after another figure is busy in the rapid.

And Li Ming is also busy.

What he wants to make is naturally not brown sugar, but white sugar, or rock sugar.

In the original trajectory, the initial appearance of Baitang and Bingtang also got the events of his Ninth Brother's reign, and naturally there is no such thing now.

Whether it is white sugar or rock sugar, there is a big problem in it, that is, the problem of crystallization.

Rock candy is okay.

The crystallization method is as long as the sugar liquid out of the pot is put into the pan and placed on the soil pit. The temperature in the pan is kept at about 90°C on the same day, and then the temperature is lowered by 10°C every day until the seventh day, and rock sugar will naturally gradually form.

Sugar, on the other hand, is more complicated.

Requires a centrifuge, and crystallization.

At this time, Li Ming was busy making crystals by local methods.

Fortunately, there is relevant information on the local method of making sugar, and he only needs to carry it out step by step.

The self-talk steps are also very simple.

Pour a small beaker of water into a saucepan and heat the pan over low heat.Slowly inject two beakers of sucrose.When the aqueous solution of sugar is saturated and boiling, pour the liquid into a glass, then leave the glass in a cool place for several days, and crystals will form.If there are vertical lines in solution, crystals will grow in a "chandelier" shape.

Once the crystals are formed, the next step is the centrifuge.

This thing is relatively complicated, so don't even think about high-end ones, unless the system signs in.

But it is obvious that it is basically impossible for a system with only one level to sign in.

But you can also directly make a manual, small one.

Although it is almost impossible to produce a large amount of white sugar by relying on this, a small part can be done.

Soon, several hand-operated centrifuges were successfully produced by him.

At this moment, the mother liquor and crystals can naturally be separated.

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Ming to do this kind of physical work, and the task was entrusted to everyone in the Shaofu.

Accompanied by vigorous shaking one by one.

The crystals gradually separated.

When the fifth day came.

In front of Li Ming's eyes, there was already a small pile.

Its particles are crystalline, uniform, and white in color. In this era, it is almost like a work of art.

Gently pick up some and put it in your mouth.

Immediately, a pure sweet smell spread to the mouth, making Li Ming's eyes brighten up.

Obviously, at this moment, he succeeded.

Although the white granulated sugar is not as uniform as he imagined, the snow-white color and pure sweetness undoubtedly represent success.

Although there is not even a tael of white sugar in front of a hundred catties of white grass, it is still a success.

Chapter 39 The first year of Zhenguan

Imperata coronata sugar, that is, thatch root sugar, is really a luxury. The sugar contained in thatch root is pitifully small. Even if it does not fail, one hundred catties of thatch root can produce no more than three taels of white sugar. .

Using it to make sugar, in modern times, it means eating too much and having nothing to do.

Can be placed in ancient times.

And it was in the Tang Dynasty that the meaning was completely different.

Although Huaxia's sugar industry is more developed than that of Europe.

But it was not until the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that the workshop-style sugar production was gradually improved, new technologies were spread rapidly, and many new theories were derived. Then in the Northern Song Dynasty, a farmer invented the method of making white sugar, and white sugar was completely released. This was more than 100 years ago.

These bits of white sugar are like bits of gold.

No amount of effort is too much.

For example, the equivalent value of less than half a tael of sugar and gold may be exaggerated, but it is equivalent to silver, I am afraid no one has any objections.

So in the next time.

Li Ming didn't stop at Imperata Imperata Sugar.

Instead, keep going.

More personnel from Shaofu were transferred.

At the same time, the large amount of coriander that Shaofu acquired was being consumed rapidly.

The amount of white granulated sugar is gradually increasing.

On the first day, he produced less than one or two ounces of white granulated sugar.

But for the second time, due to the reduction of mistakes and more white grasses, the white granulated sugar produced reached five taels.

On the third day, twelve.

The fourth time, one catty.

When the quantity reaches one catty, the white granulated sugar produced gradually stabilizes.

After all, there is a limit to the amount of coriander that can be obtained in a day, and the work efficiency of workers is also limited.

One catty is the limit, if you want to improve again, you must either change the materials or upgrade the tools.

These are not things he can do in a short time.

However, Li Ming is also very satisfied to be able to produce one catty of sugar each time.

At least he won't have any problems with eating.

As for the follow-up, he is not worried, and believes that the sugar cane prepared by the Shaofu should arrive soon.

With sugarcane with higher sugar content, the white sugar that can be obtained will naturally be more.

Of course, even if the sugar cane comes, the imperatae may not be eliminated in a short time.

After all, as I said before, the acquisition of sugarcane is not modern. In the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago, the difficulty of obtaining sugarcane was not low, and the amount that could be obtained was limited after all. Imperata rhizome is the best substitute.

In this regard, Li Ming has long been mentally prepared.

After the successful sugar production, his following days fell into a peaceful period again.

Raise chickens and ducks, earthworms.

Check out the shed.

Then look at the salt, and sugar.

Life is full and simple.

And the time has entered the new year in this peace.

This year, 627.

It was also the first year of Zhenguan.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Li Shimin changed Yuan Zhenguan, and the era officially entered a new prelude.

early morning.

On the court meeting.

Li Shimin's policies were issued one after another.

First of all, he decreed that in the future, officials from the Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and officials above the third rank should be followed by admonishers when they enter the cabinet to discuss national affairs.

Later, due to the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, various forces came together and led troops to separate one side. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty one after another.In order to favor them, the Tang Dynasty granted them various local official positions, so the number of prefectures and counties in the early Tang Dynasty doubled compared with Kaihuang and Daye years.More officials and fewer people brought many disadvantages. Li Shimin announced the merger of prefectures and counties across the country, dividing the country into ten provinces, and abolishing counties as prefectures, so each prefecture governs several prefectures.

Compared with the Nine Years of Wude, Li Shimin no longer restrained himself.

Instead, he began to plan his own country according to his own ideals.

It outlines the era destined to be great.

It is destined to be an era of brilliance.

It's just that people in this era don't know this.

Everyone trembled instead.

When the morning sun fell and the curtain of this great era kicked off, Li Ming slowly woke up from his sleep.

Unlike usual, at this moment, he did not sign in immediately, but looked out the window.

"Are you chaste?"

The voice of the self-talk spoke, at this moment in the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that he is the only one with complicated emotions.

Because only he knows what kind of era this will be, and what kind of glory it will be.

During the Zhenguan period, his cheap father appointed the virtuous and capable, knew people well and appointed them well; opened up his voice, restrained himself, and accepted advice with an open mind; In order to maintain a stable situation; and vigorously quell foreign aggression, respect the customs of the border tribes, stabilize the frontier, and finally achieve the ideal situation of world governance.

The rule of Zhenguan laid an important foundation for the prosperous Kaiyuan later, and pushed the traditional Chinese agricultural society to its heyday.

This is one of the greatest eras in history.

And he stepped into this era at this moment, as a participant.

Only he can clearly feel that emotion at this moment.

Today's morning sun is very scorching hot, like the newborn Tang Dynasty, with the light that is destined to shine on the whole world, the whole world.

in the palace.

Li Er has already moved out of the East Palace and officially entered the Tai Chi Palace.

The "Great Court Meeting" held at the beginning of the year is a kind of court ceremony with the highest etiquette and standards that began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has been inherited from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Great Chaohui" means that all officials meet with the emperor.

It's just that compared with the previous Great Court Meeting, this day's Great Court Meeting is undoubtedly a little different.

It's just that no one knows where the difference is.

And an invisible majestic aura spread out from the palace. In a place where no one could detect with naked eyes, streaks of golden aura rose from the top of the palace, and gradually there was a phantom of a golden dragon.

"Ow!"

An illusory sound of dragon chant resounded throughout the Tang Dynasty.

In the sound of this dragon chant, the layer of black mist that originally permeated the Great Tang seemed to have dissipated a bit.

Among the dragon chants, the golden light spread throughout the entire heaven and earth, and spread throughout the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Some diseases or disasters in Ming Dynasty disappeared instantly.

Among the Shaofu.

Originally, due to large-scale breeding, the chickens and ducks gradually began to have diseases, but when the golden light swept over the diseases, the diseases disappeared instantly.

Under this kind of golden light, most of the locusts would have been wiped out at this moment, but the locusts were not eliminated when the golden light passed by.

Of course, this scene was also not noticed.
