God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 562 Red Cloth
"Come on, bring it up!"

Guan Lishi walked into the hall holding a plate at this time.

His appearance directly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone saw that the plate was still covered with a red cloth, and they were all guessing what was on the plate.

Some people say that this is a book, just like what Li Chengqian did before, he wrote all his plans in the book.

And some people said that this is actually what Li Chengqian was trying to do.

Some people sneered directly, because how could the things on this plate solve the riots in an area?

No one would have thought of what was in it.

"What is this? Uncover it quickly!"

Li Shimin couldn't help it anymore, his curiosity made him really want to see what's inside.

Empress Changsun knew about it, but she didn't tell it.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Guan Lishi immediately lifted the red cloth, and a pile of white matter was piled up on the plate, which was crystal clear and gleaming.

People began to speculate again.Some people even think that this pile of things is treasures or something, because it looks too tempting.It's like small pieces of colored glaze.

"This thing looks amazing, what is it?"

Li Shimin asked for the second time.

Li Chengqian said slowly: "This is white sugar! Come, pass the white sugar to His Majesty to have a look!"

The white sugar has also been handed to Li Shimin.

"White sugar? Is it sugar? But I remember that sugar is not like this. How can there be such a beautiful sugar in this world!?"

Xiao Yu said.

Li Chengqian said directly: "You haven't seen it, it doesn't mean you haven't!"

"Your Majesty, I think you can give it a try."

"Guanyin maidservant, have you tried this white sugar? How does it taste?"

Empress Changsun nodded and said: "Yes, the taste of this sugar is very delicate, not much worse than honey at all. There are a lot of it, and it is not as expensive as some things. It is gone before you can taste it. Yesterday a Food, so far endless aftertaste.”

When Empress Changsun said this, Liu Hongji's face became very ugly.

It means that the honey he sent yesterday was too little.It's really embarrassing to not even taste the taste.

But that was as much as he could come up with.

No matter how much, he couldn't get it out.One is that it is expensive, and the other is that this thing is very rare in winter, and even if you have money, you can't buy it.

Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Li Shimin's heart itched unbearably.

He said directly: "Let me eat it quickly. I want to taste it and see if it tastes like this!"

With a big wave of Li Shimin's hand, someone brought the plate to him.

"Your Majesty, don't eat things indiscriminately! The dragon's body is safe!"

A group of conservative ministers said directly.

Li Shimin's face darkened.

"The queen ate yesterday, so there must be no problem. What are you still worried about? No one is allowed to talk anymore! No one is allowed to stop me!"

As soon as his words came out, all the officials dared not speak again.

And he picked up some white sugar and threw it directly into his mouth.He didn't take into account the presence of the minister at all, and grabbed it with his hands.

The white sugar melted directly from his mouth, and he couldn't help admiring, "This sugar is so sweet, it doesn't taste bitter when finished, and it can't be compared with stone honey from Tianzhu! It's a good thing, it's a good thing!"

After a few more bites, it felt like an addiction.

His mouth was full of sugar particles, and he said while eating: "It tastes much better than honey!"

In this way, it can be said that he is very satisfied with white sugar.Even exuding the color of intoxication

It made the ministers swallow their saliva uncontrollably, but they couldn't eat it.

Then Li Shimin said: "Dip the zongzi in white sugar and eat it together. It must be delicious."

Empress Changsun also said: "The taste of bean curd and white sugar must be attractive."

"I think so too! Let me eat some more!"

Li Shimin ate it all by himself.

But Xiao Yu said: "What is the relationship between white sugar and Lingnan? I can't see it!"

"Your Majesty, let the minister send troops!"

Liu Hongji also said.

The views of these two people represent the views of some people, but not all.

When Li Shimin heard it, it seemed to be the case. What does this food have to do with Lingnan?
"Gao Ming, this white sugar seems to have nothing to do with Lingnan!"

Li Shimin asked.

But Li Chengqian said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the key lies in the white sugar. Do you all know what white sugar is made of?"

Li Chengqian's question left everyone at a loss.

Xiao Yu said coldly:
"How do we know what these things are made of!"

Others also expressed ignorance.

Li Chengqian ignored it
Li Shimin even more so.

"Guanyin maidservant, did you know that you went to the East Palace yesterday?"

"The concubine doesn't know!"

Empress Changsun said truthfully.

And Li Chengqian didn't want to hide it, and said directly: "Actually, this is made of gray sugar!"

Gray sugar?As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately got a backlash. No one wanted to believe that gray sugar could make white sugar like white snow.

Because it's basically two things.This is unbelievable, and it must not be true.

They didn't eat it, but judging from Li Shimin's performance, the candy tasted pretty good.

It even beat the honey brought by Liu Hongji.

What do you think Liu Hongji is drawing?
It was hard to curry favor with Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

This is good, a white sugar directly compares him.

This is embarrassing, my own honey is useless in front of white sugar.

In this way, no matter what he said, he didn't want to believe it.

So he came out and said, "Is white sugar really made from gray sugar? Your Highness, don't lie to us, it's not fun."

"Duke Kui, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you? Is there any benefit in lying to you? Not at all, okay? As for the process, I will show you the process."

Now everyone calmed down a little.

As for Li Shimin, he has long believed in this matter.

He murmured: "I never thought gray sugar could be made into such delicious white sugar."

"But, what does this white sugar have to do with Lingnan? I also want to know."

It seems to be bypassed now.

Li Chengqian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, where did the gray sugar come from?"

"As far as I know, it's for sugarcane!"

Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty is wise! Sure enough, you are right when you say it."

Gray sugar is produced from sugar cane. Many people probably don't know it yet, but after today, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty know about it.

But Li Chengqian mentioned sugar cane again, what is going on?

What's the deal with sugar cane?Everyone was completely bewildered.

At the same time, he wished to pry Li Chengqian's mouth away and let him tell all about the reason.

He spit it out bit by bit, which was really depressing.
