People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 38 What's wrong with salt and sugar?

Seeds germinate in winter.

Such an unbelievable event instantly caused a lot of commotion in the entire Shaofu, and it was not until a few days later that the commotion gradually calmed down.

But the respect for Li Ming has undoubtedly reached a new level.

As I said before, compared to everyone in the Shaofu, Li Ming already existed like a god-man.

From the very beginning, I didn't care, or felt anxious.

By the time they saw Li Ming one by one, they already had respect from the bottom of their hearts.

It can be said that the attitude of the especially young prefect has completely changed.

Li Ming was naturally aware of this, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The days remain.

Raise chickens and ducks, and earthworms.

Greenhouse planting.

Occasionally look at his dozen or so little piglets.

As for raising pigs, he has no plans to further expand in the short term.

There is no way, the grain nowadays is not enough for people to eat, my cheap daddy can't wait to break a grain of grain into two and use it, it is impossible to feed him to pigs, and although earthworms are high in protein, they can be fed to pigs first. Whether it is suitable or not, the amount required is too large, and there is no way to use it as a staple food.

Now it is the limit to be able to feed these ten or so heads.

No matter how much, he couldn't bear it.

The divine book of natural postpartum care for sows is useless for the time being, and we can only wait for the locusts to arrive.

At that time, let alone more than ten pigs.

Even tens of thousands of heads can bear it.

Locusts can be cooked with wild vegetables, and bacon can be used as a substitute for rice. If you try your best to catch them, they will not only eliminate harm, but also serve as food. Why not do it?Chongzhen Xinsi, Jiahu dry locusts, and the people caught locusts to feed ducks. Ducks are very fattened, and people, livestock and pigs in the mountains cannot buy food. I tried to feed them with locusts. The pigs initially weighed [-] jin, and in ten days they fattened to more than [-] jin. ....

This is the "Book on Eliminating Locusts" written by Xu Guangqi to Chongzhen, and the meaning is very simple.

Locusts can be mixed with wild vegetables and cooked together; after drying, they can be eaten as dried shrimps. Try to kill locusts to get rid of pests and get food.During the reign of Chongzhen, farmers hunted and killed locusts to feed ducks, and the ducks easily grew fat and big.Feeding pigs with locusts will grow more than 30 catties in ten days.

Li Ming has been staring at this locust plague that made Datang rich.

The pig raising flow was also prepared to start at that time.

Only then will the real king be bombed.

Think about it, when most people in Datang can afford pork, how much its national strength can be improved.

Plus chicken and duck.

and follow-up.

In two years, it would not be a problem to improve the national strength by one or two levels.

It can even be said to be very easy.

As for now, it can only be regarded as a familiarization in the early stage.

in the room.

Li Ming opened his eyes, another new day came.

"Sign in!"

"Sign in successfully!"

"Congratulations on getting the "Indigenous Sugar Production Technology""

The mechanical voice next to my ear sounded again, just like every day in the past.

Every day, Li Ming is used to signing in with his eyes open.

It's just that because it's only level one, most of the items that are signed in are difficult to use.

Of course there are occasional surprises.

Just like this moment.

"Indigenous sugar production technology?"

Li Ming calmed down slightly, and then looked at the book that appeared in his hand.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't expect that the system would send him sugar-making technology a few days after he produced the refined salt.

The value of sugar in ancient times was no less than that of salt.

Even higher in a sense.

In the prehistoric period when slash-and-burn production was the main method, people obtained sugar by collecting wild fruits, honey, common plant solution and other primitive methods.Later, as the demand increased, the early technology of making "Yi" appeared in the pre-Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the sugar-making technology matured, and the sugar was slightly better.

In Europe, the value of sugar is even more exaggerated. In the Middle Ages, when Europeans wrote their wills, they would even write how many buckets of honey they had in the will to prove their wealth.

Even the doctors of the Byzantine Empire at that time used sugar as a magic medicine to treat diseases. Among the prescriptions handed down by the doctors of the Byzantine Empire so far, there is a kind of medicine that is sweetened rose water. It is said that this medicine is effective in treating colds. magical.

But for Li Ming.

The presence of sugar is not just a matter of value.

More critical is the diet issue.

Coming to this Tang Dynasty, even as a prince, he still has many discomforts.

Mobile TV network or next.

Among them, dietary inadaptation is the biggest.

There is no shortage of royal refined salt, and there are almost no seasonings.

Not to mention all kinds of spices and peppers, there is no sugar.

In this regard, Li Ming actually wanted to make sugar for a long time.

It's just obvious that if he still has some impressions about the purification of coarse salt, then he knows nothing about how to make sugar.

There is no way at all.

Now this problem has been solved.

His eyes fixed on the books.

Soon the pages were opened.

The technology of making sugar is not that complicated.

In other words, the technology of indigenous sugar production is not complicated.

The only trouble spots are the sugar crystallization and the centrifuge.

But since it is native method.

Also relatively simple.

Although it was destined not to be mass-produced, it didn't have much impact on him at all.

Anyway, he was just going to make some for consumption, as long as he could satisfy his appetite.

After reading the book several times again, Li Ming immediately got up and headed towards the Shaofu.

Now there are Shaofu agencies.

Even making sugar, Li Ming couldn't do it by himself.

Half an hour later, he stepped into the Shaofu.

At this moment in Shaofu, most people are busy.

Li Ming was not in a hurry to make sugar.

Instead, he inspected various places first.

After looking at the hatching room, the earth dragon breeding, and the shed, he returned to the salt-making yard again.

in the courtyard.

The number of refined salt refiners has reached more than 30 people.

More than 200 catties of refined salt can be produced every day.

However, Li Ming only sold one hundred catties of refined salt each time.

As for increasing the scale, it is to save more points. It is too wasteful for these people to keep making salt.

He doesn't plan to produce salt on a large scale now, so he plans to make a batch first, and then consider other ones.

It's just that I didn't expect that this has just been expanded, and it can be used now.

Compared with refined salt and sugar, he naturally needs to keep it secret.

In other words, it is actually more important than refined salt.

Especially after experiencing a lack of money in a small government, Li Ming will pay more attention to those who can obtain high returns.

After all, he will spend a lot in the future.

To increase the national power of the Tang Dynasty, the income needed to be spent is even more massive.

You can't do anything without money.

He also had to pay attention to this point.

The line of sight bypassed these dozens of people.

Li Ming quickly called the Shaofu Prison again.

　New week, ask for a recommendation ticket
