People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 40 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 disappeared instantly in the Tang Dynasty.

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.

In the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin just felt that his mind was a little clearer in an instant.

Down below, the famous minister also felt his thinking became sharper, and some unthinkable things seemed to be instantly understood at this moment.

"Your Majesty, divide the whole country into ten divisions, and divide the whole country into ten divisions. How can the ten divisions be arranged?"

"Your Majesty, there are ten ways to set up!"

The figure below continued to speak, and today's discussion was obviously smooth.
