Chapter 492

"This is your white granulated sugar?"

"Yes, this is the specialty of Ryukyu Island."

In front of the workshop, Xiao Ming looks surprised, while Claire is proud.

This white granulated sugar process is the most advanced sugar making process in Europe, which makes them proud.

Xiao Ming's brow is tight. He grabs a handful of white granulated sugar. Generally speaking, the sugar has reached the standard of white granulated sugar. These grains are as delicate as sand. The only drawback is that the color is not pure enough, and there are some brown impurities in the grains.

You may not be able to see one or two, but a lot of them look heavier.

"The quality of the white granulated sugar is a bit poor." Xiao Ming rubbed the sugar and said that his hope was dashed. He thought he could eat it ready-made, but he had to be busy.

"Bad?" Claire looked at Xiao Ming with a shocked look. He stressed, "Your Highness, this white granulated sugar is the most advanced sugar making technology in Holland. These sugars are very popular in Japan, which is hundreds of times stronger than your bitter brown sugar in Dayu."

Xiao Ming said with disdain, "it's very bad. The white granulated sugar I want is crystal clear. It looks like snow sugar from a distance."

"It's impossible. There's no sugar like that." Clare said firmly, "Your Highness, forgive me for being rude, even in this sugar country, you don't have it. Not everyone can master the process of refining white granulated sugar."

With a sneer, Xiao Ming looked at another pile of white powder beside the workshop and said, "count Claire, if I'm not wrong, your method is lime purification."

As soon as the words came out, Clare was shocked and gaped.

Xiao Ming continued: "in fact, the manufacture of white granulated sugar is very simple. It's nothing more than cutting and tearing the sugarcane to make it fully broken, and then multiple pressing and multiple infiltration to extract the sugar. After the sugarcane is pressed, the juice and bagasse have to be transported away separately. At this time, the mixed juice of sugarcane is a dark green turbid liquid. The next step is boiling and purification. The purification process will determine the quality of white granulated sugar No, it's pure enough. "

When Xiao Ming said these words, Claire could not describe his mood with shock.

In his opinion, the powerful people in the state of Dayu are only proficient in some tricks, and they don't care about these crafts at all. Now, as a vassal, Xiao Ming is able to explain the sugar making process in detail.

The most important thing is that the sugar making process is also a process with strict confidentiality measures in Europe. This man even mastered it, which shattered his idea of selling sugar making process for money.

However, he felt from Xiao Ming's tone that Xiao Ming seemed to master more advanced refining technology. He seemed to ask unintentionally: "Your Highness, can you make these sugar as white as snow?"

"Of course." Xiao Ming made no secret that although the white granulated sugar in the workshop did not meet Xiao Ming's requirements, for Xiao Ming, the workshop had mastered part of the sugar making process.

And the Dutch also produced sugar making equipment for the workshop, which would save him a lot of trouble.

"So what's this method?" Claire was smiling and very amiable.

Xiao Ming laughed and said, "count Claire, it's a secret, but I can promise you to sell sugar to Europe."

Clare suddenly showed a look of disappointment. If he can master this technology, he is confident that he can make a windfall in Europe. After all, there is a great demand for white granulated sugar in Europe.

Because they need sugar to make bread, desserts and so on.

Ignoring Claire, Xiao Ming goes straight to the workshop where he observes the manufacturing process of white granulated sugar. Because Xiao Ming has already understood the manufacturing process of white granulated sugar, Claire has no reason to stop him and can only follow him with frustration.

"It's sweet."

While Xiao Ming was observing, Lu Fei grabbed a handful of sugar and put it into his mouth. What he ate was delicious. "Your Highness, it's much sweeter than maltose. If you sell it in Dayu, you'll make a lot of money."

Lu Fei's words are exactly Xiao Ming's idea. In order to capture Ryukyu this time, he has also invested a lot. He must make the war bring real profits for himself.

Next, he has to find a way to get profits at sea.

"To sell is sure to sell, but we will sell better sugar." Xiao Ming said confidently.

At present, there are three kinds of sugar making methods: lime method, sulfite method and carbonation method. The effect of lime method and carbonation method is not satisfactory. Only sulfite method can directly obtain the edible white granulated sugar.

This kind of sugar is called sulfurized sugar. Xiao Ming produced sulfuric acid two years ago. Although there is no large-scale production of sulfuric acid, there is always small-scale production.

There is basically no big difference between the sulphuric acid preparation process and sulphuric acid process, so this time Xiao Ming went back and asked Lutong to develop sulphuric acid to establish a sugar industry. The 50000 Mu sugarcane on Ryukyu Island can be fully utilized.

After visiting the white granulated sugar workshop, Xiao Ming went to the island to visit the granaries. However, there was not much grain in these granaries, and most of them were sold. Xiao Ming didn't like this. Anyway, what he wanted was this treasure land, and the rest didn't matter.After officially taking over the Dutch industry on Ryukyu Island, Xiao Ming and Claire returned to michila castle.

Now Claire is more and more looking forward to the cooperation with Xiao Ming, because in his opinion, the king of Qi is willing to bring miracle to him, and as for the current loss, they will be able to recover.

Back to the castle, Clare suddenly sounded something, reminded: "Your Highness, the defeat of Japan, many Japanese pirates fled to the north of Ryukyu Island. In the past, the North was the hiding place of Japanese pirates. After all, we have not developed that place. Now that your Highness has occupied Ryukyu Island, we should consider thoroughly eliminating the influence of Japan on Ryukyu Island."

Xiao Ming nodded. The Dutch said that what they occupied was only a small area in the south of Ryukyu Island, and most of the area was for reclamation.

For Xiao Ming, he is going to build two bases in Ryukyu. One is the present michila castle, and the second is the north. After all, there is a world-class deep-water port in the north of Ryukyu, which is the best place to build a military port.

Because in this way, he can not only control the north of Ryukyu, but also prevent Japanese pirates from going south along the route to the east of Ryukyu.

"Thank you for reminding me. I'm thinking about it, but before that, let's talk about the next trade issue." Xiao Ming looks like a big wolf.

At last, the time of monopolizing the sea trade came. He wanted to turn the goods in Chongqing into a large amount of silver. After all, Europe got a huge amount of silver from America in this period.
