HCB Chapter 275 System Reward, Shocked Officer
Chapter 275 System Reward, Shocked Officer
Meng Tian and Han Xin received Ying Yu's Feige letter successively.
The news that Daqin was going to hold a military parade also spread all over the world.
At this time, Ying Yu was in a daze in the study.
Because the system's notification sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding Dong--Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: Megatron! 】
[Rewards received: a slight increase in the fortunes of the Great Qin Dynasty, a prestige value of 1 million, and a lucky gift pack! 】
Ying Yu's face suddenly showed joy.
The dog system disappeared for so long, and finally responded.
Although the rewards given were not very good, the prestige points Ying Yu still needed.
The last time the giant five-tooth ship was upgraded to a treasure ship of Ming Dynasty, it directly emptied Ying Yu's reputation.
The 1 million prestige value now came in time.
And there is a lucky gift package is not.
"System, open the lucky gift bag!"
[Ding dong--Congratulations to the host for opening the lucky gift package and getting the items: a blueprint of the wool processing line, and a copy of the sugar craftwork! 】
not bad!
Ying Yu nodded in satisfaction.
In order to better integrate Baiyue into Daqin, Ying Yu vigorously promoted goat breeding in Nanhai County and other places.
While enriching the dining tables of the common people in Daqin, they also obtained a large amount of wool.
It's just that Daqin's wool processing technology is relatively backward at present, and the process of making wool into wool is very cumbersome, so there has been no way to mass-produce it.
Now, with the wool processing line drawings provided by the system, Daqin can build a wool processing workshop.
Mass production of wool thread, cashmere and other things.
Moreover, after Daqin took Tianzhu County and Persi County, Ying Yu had already organized people to fight in Tianzhu County.
To promote cotton planting, you only need to wait a year to harvest a large amount of cotton.
In this way, the Great Qin will be completely realized, with ample food and clothing, and the people will no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
As for the sugar craft, it was a surprise for Ying Yu.
After discovering sugar cane, he has ordered people to plant it on a large scale.
However, Ying Yu didn't understand the craft of making sugar, so the sugar produced had a lot of residue, a mediocre taste, and an ugly color.
However, the white sugar process provided by the system can effectively improve these problems.
With Daqin's current technical level, it is not difficult to purify and produce sugar as white as snow on a large scale.
White sugar can not only enrich the diet of Daqin people, but also serve as a new source of income.
You must know that until the nineteenth century, sugar was an extremely important strategic resource.
The reason is that the human brain is the part that consumes the most energy, and its only source of energy is glucose.
These glucose generally come from starchy foods such as grains, and granulated sugar is the fastest and most easily digested and absorbed by the brain, and it can be quickly converted into various nutrients needed.
High sugar content also means high calories, which can quickly replenish physical exertion, and is very suitable for soldiers as marching rations.
And sweetness can also greatly enhance people's sense of happiness and make people feel happier.
With white sugar, the life of the people in Daqin can be more delicious and sweet.
Da Qin on the tip of his tongue will also enter a new stage.
"Your Highness, what makes you so happy?"
Hong Xiu, who was helping Ying Yu sort out the files, asked curiously.
"It's a happy thing to add fragrance to the red sleeves."
Ying Yu said with a smile.
"Your Highness is making fun of the red sleeve again!"
Hong Xiu blushed, and hurriedly avoided meeting Ying Yu's eyes.
Ying Yu couldn't help laughing, it's been a long time, and the girl Hongxiu is still so shy.
Shaking his head, the smile on his face suddenly grew stronger.
The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the beginning of autumn, and autumn is the golden season for harvesting.
The next day, above the court.
"His Royal Highness, what treasure have you discovered?"
Seeing Ying Yu walking into the Qilin Hall with a paper bag in his hand, the officials couldn't help being curious.
"What kind of treasure is it, you will know if you look at it yourself!"
Ying Yu smiled and opened the first paper bag.
"Isn't this sucrose?"
Looking at the sucrose in the paper bag, Nestern said suspiciously.
"That's right, this is the sugar that is produced in Lingnan County and refined from sugarcane juice."
Ying Yu smiled slightly and said, "You all must have eaten this sucrose, right?"
"This sucrose, the old minister did not eat less, but this sucrose is slightly bitter, apart from the low price, the taste is far inferior to honey."
Feng Quji hesitated a little and expressed his opinion.
Ying Yu smiled lightly at this.
These days, it's good for the people of Daqin to have candy, and Feng Quji picked it up.
There are a few common people who can afford honey.
However, what Feng Quji said is also true. Whether it is sucrose or maltose, due to the craftsmanship, the purity is not high, so it will be a bit bitter.
And the beekeeping industry has not yet risen. If you want to get honey, you can only rely on hunters to go to the wild to get it. The price is very high, and even the rich and powerful are reluctant to eat more.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness has a way to make this sucrose more delicious than honey?"
Meng Yi pondered for a moment and boldly guessed, after all, this sucrose was also made by Ying Yu.
With the character of His Royal Highness, it is absolutely impossible to bring sucrose to the court meeting for no reason.
The only possibility is that there has been a new breakthrough in the process of making sucrose.
"I'm still blinded by your vision. The prince has been thinking hard for a long time, and finally purified better sucrose."
All the officials in the Qilin Palace looked at Ying Yu blankly.
They were not surprised that His Royal Highness was able to purify better sucrose.
However, whether it is the result of hard thinking or meditation is still up for discussion.
After all, His Royal Highness is notoriously lazy.
"What kind of eyes do you have? If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Ying Yu smiled and opened another paper bag, and white sugar as white as snow appeared in front of everyone.
After getting the craft of making white granulated sugar, he handed it over to Gongshujie immediately.
This is the research result of the entire Tianji Building after countless failures.
I thought the courtiers would be shocked, but looking at their eyes, Ying Yu obviously felt something was wrong.
"His Royal Highness, did you take it by mistake? Why did you take out a bag of fine salt?"
Nei Shiten looked at Ying Yu with some puzzlement.
All the officials also nodded.
Ying Yu was speechless for a moment, and just as he was about to explain, he walked up weakly.
"His Royal Highness, can I have a taste?"
Seeing that Ying Yu nodded in agreement, Dun Ruo lightly dipped a little bit of white sugar with his fingers, tasted it carefully, and suddenly showed a look of shock on his face.
"Unbelievable, incredible!"
"This... this can't really be sugar, can it?"
Nesten also took a sip, and then said with surprise:
"It's really sugar. This sugar is as white as snow and as delicate as refined salt. Just because of its appearance, if it is sold in the market, people will rush to buy it even if it costs a hundred dollars a catty."
All the officials gasped when they heard the words.
You know, in the Daqin market today, a stone of chestnut rice is only three or four dollars.
One hundred yuan per catty, this is definitely a sky-high price!
