Chapter 39 The first year of Zhenguan

Imperata cogongrass sugar production, that is, sugar production from cogongrass roots, is really luxurious. The sugar contained in cogongrass roots is simply pitiful. Even if it doesn't fail, one hundred pounds of cogongrass roots can produce no more than three grams of white sugar.

Two.

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

Can be placed in ancient times.

Moreover, the meaning was completely different during the Tang Dynasty.

Although China's sugar industry is more developed than in Europe.

However, it was not until the Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that workshop-style sugar production was gradually perfected, new technologies spread rapidly, and many new theories were derived. In the Northern Song Dynasty, a farmer invented a method of making white sugar, and white sugar was completely invented.

This was more than a hundred years ago.

The bits of white sugar are the bits of gold.

No amount of effort is too much.

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

So in the next time.

Li Ming did not stop at Imperata Imperata Sugar Making.

Instead, proceed.

More personnel from the Shaofu were transferred.

At the same time, the large amount of Imperata purchased by Shaofu was consumed quickly.

The amount of white sugar is gradually increasing.

On the first day he made less than one tael of white sugar.

But the second time, due to fewer mistakes and more Imperata, the amount of white sugar produced reached five taels.

The third day, twelve.

The fourth time, one pound.

When the quantity reaches one kilogram, the white sugar produced gradually enters a stable state.

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

One kilogram is the limit. If you want to increase it again, you must either change the materials used or upgrade the tools used.

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

However, Li Ming is very satisfied with being able to produce one pound of sugar each time.

At least there won't be any problems with his food.

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

With sugar cane having a higher sugar content, more white sugar can naturally be obtained.

Of course, even if sugar cane arrives, Imperata may not be eliminated in a short time.

After all, as mentioned before, the acquisition of sugar cane is not modern. In the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, it was not easy to obtain, and the amount that could be obtained was limited after all. Imperata is considered the best substitute.

Li Ming was mentally prepared for this.

After the success of sugar production, his subsequent days once again fell into a peaceful period.

Raise chickens, ducks, and ground dragons.

Take a look at the greenhouse.

Then inspect the salt and sugar production.

Life is fulfilling and simple.

And 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 the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenguan, and the era officially entered a new prelude.

Early morning.

Above the great court discussion.

Li Shimin's policies were issued one after another.

First of all, he issued an edict that from now on, when officials from Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and officials of third rank or above come to the cabinet to discuss national affairs, they must be followed by admonishers. If there is anything inappropriate, the admonishers will immediately come in to admonish.

Later, due to the war in the late Sui Dynasty, various forces came together and led troops to separate one side. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, they all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In order to favor them, the Tang Dynasty granted them various local official positions. Therefore, the number of prefectures and counties in the early Tang Dynasty was much higher than before.

During the Emperor's Day, the number doubled. More officials and fewer people brought many disadvantages, so Li Shimin announced the merging of prefectures and counties across the country and divided the country into ten provinces. The counties were abolished and turned into prefectures, so each province governed several prefectures.

Compared with the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin is no longer restrained.

Instead, he began to plan his own country based on his own ideals.

It outlines an era destined to be great.

Destined to be an era of brilliance.

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

On the contrary, everyone is trembling with fear.

When the morning sunshine fell and this great era began, Li Ming slowly woke up from his sleep.

What was different from usual was that at this moment, he did not sign in immediately, but looked out the window.

"Are you chaste?"

The self-talking voice spoke. At this moment, in the entire Tang Dynasty, he was probably 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 Zhenguan, his cheap father appointed talented people, knew people and assigned them well; he opened up his mind, exercised self-restraint, and accepted advice with an open mind; he also adopted policies such as putting agriculture first, practicing strict economy, recuperating, reviving culture and education, and improving the imperial examination system, which led to the emergence of society.

To achieve a stable situation; and vigorously quell foreign aggression, respect the customs of border tribes, stabilize the border, and finally achieve the ideal situation of great governance for the world.

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

This is an era that can be considered the greatest in history.

And he entered this era at this moment as a participant.

Only he can clearly feel the emotion at this moment.

Today's rising sun looks very hot, as if it is like the newly born Tang Dynasty, with a light destined to illuminate the entire heaven and earth, and the entire world.

In the palace.

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

The "Da Chao Hui" is held at the beginning of each year. It is a court ritual with the highest etiquette that began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has been inherited by all dynasties from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Da Chao Hui" is when hundreds of officials meet with the emperor.

But compared to the previous Dajiao meetings, this day's Dajiao meeting is undoubtedly a little different.

But no one knows what’s different about this one.

And an invisible majestic aura spread out from the palace. In a place that no one could detect with the naked eye, golden auras rose from the top of the palace, and gradually there was a shadow of a golden dragon.

"Ouch!"

An illusory dragon's roar echoed throughout the Tang Dynasty.

In the sound of the dragon's roar, the layer of black mist that originally filled the Tang Dynasty seemed to have dissipated.

Mixed with the dragon's roar, the golden light spread across the entire heaven and earth, spreading throughout the entire Datang Dynasty.

Some diseases or disasters in the Ming Dynasty disappeared instantly.

In the Shaofu.

Originally, due to large-scale breeding, diseases gradually began to appear on chickens and ducks, but when the golden light swept over the diseases, they were instantly eliminated.

Under this kind of golden light, most of the locusts would have been wiped out at this moment, but due to the opportunity, the golden light skipped the locusts and did not eliminate them.

Of course, this scene was also not noticed by anyone.

In the Tai Chi Hall.

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

Below, the famous minister also felt that his thinking was getting sharper, and some things that he could not figure out seemed to be understood in an instant.

"Your Majesty, I will unite all the prefectures and counties in the country and divide the country into ten provinces. How can I arrange the ten provinces?"

"Your Majesty, ten paths can be set...!"
