Chapter 488: White sugar

"This is your white sugar?"
"Yes, this is a specialty of Ryukyu Island."
Before the workshop, Xiao Ming showed a look of surprise, while Claire was proud.
This white granulated sugar process is the most advanced sugar making process in Europe today, which is enough to make them proud.
Xiao Ming frowned. He grabbed a handful of white granulated sugar. Generally speaking, these sugars have reached the standard of white granulated sugar. The particles are as fine as sand. The only disadvantage is that the color is not pure enough, and there are still some in the granules. Some brown impurities.
One or two may not be visible, but a lot of them look heavier.
"The quality of this white sugar is a bit worse." Xiao Ming said, rubbing the white sugar, his hope was dashed. He thought he could eat ready-made, but he had to work on it himself.
"Poor?" Claire looked at Xiao Ming with a shocked look, and he emphasized, "His Royal Highness, this white granulated sugar is the most advanced sugar-making process in the Netherlands. These sugars are very popular in the country of Japan, which is bigger than you. The bitter brown sugar in Yuguo is a hundred times stronger."
Xiao Ming disdainfully said: "It was originally bad, but the white granulated sugar I asked for is crystal clear, and it looks like Baixue's sugar from a distance."
"How is this possible? There is no such sugar." Claire categorically said, "His Royal Highness, forgive me for being rude, even if there is no such kind of sugar in Chongqing, no one can master the process of refining white granulated sugar."
Xiao Ming sneered. He looked at the other pile of white powder piled beside the workshop and said, "Earl Claire, if I am not mistaken, the method you use is lime purification."
Claire was dumbfounded as soon as he said this.
Xiao Ming continued: "In fact, the manufacture of white granulated sugar is very simple. It is nothing more than cutting and tearing the sugarcane to fully crush the sugarcane, followed by multiple pressing and multiple infiltrations to extract the sugar. After the sugarcane is pressed, the juice and bagasse must be transported separately. Go, the sugarcane mixed juice is a dark green turbid liquid. The next step is to boil and purify. The purification process will determine whether the white sugar is pure enough."
When Xiao Ming finished speaking these words, Claire could no longer describe her feelings in shock.
In his opinion, the dignitaries of Great Yu are only proficient in some tricks, and they don’t care about these crafts at all. Now, as a prince, Xiao Ming can actually
Explain the sugar making process in detail.
The most important thing is that the sugar making process in Europe is also a process with strict secrecy measures, and this person has also mastered it. This made him want to sell sugar making process for money.
However, he felt from Xiao Ming's tone that Xiao Ming seemed to master more advanced refining techniques, and he asked seemingly inadvertently: "His Royal Highness, can you make these white sugar as white as snow?"
"Of course." Xiao Ming made no secret. Although the white granulated sugar in the workshop did not meet Xiao Ming's requirements, for Xiao Ming the workshop had already mastered part of the sugar production process.
Moreover, the Dutch also produced sugar-making equipment for the workshop, which would save him a lot of trouble.
"Then what is this approach?" Claire smiled, very amiable.
Xiao Ming laughed and said, "Earl Claire, this is a secret, but this king can promise you to sell sugar to Europe."
Clairton showed a disappointed look at the time. If he can master this craft, he is confident that he can make a fortune in Europe. After all, there is a huge demand for white sugar in Europe.
Because they need white sugar to make bread, desserts and other things.
No longer paying attention to Claire, Xiao Ming went straight to the workshop, where Xiao Ming observed the manufacturing process of white granulated sugar. Because Xiao Ming had already understood the manufacturing process of white granulated sugar, Claire had no reason to stop him, and only had a look. Following Xiao Ming in frustration.
"It's so sweet."
When Xiao Ming was observing, Lu Fei grabbed a handful of sugar and stuffed it into his mouth. The food was delicious, "His Royal Highness, this is much sweeter than maltose. If it is sold in Dayu, it will not be profitable. Less money."
Lu Fei's words are exactly what Xiao Ming thought. He also invested a lot in order to capture Ryukyu this time. He must let this war bring him actual profits.
Next, he will find a way to make profits at sea.
"Selling is definitely going to be sold, but what we sell will be better candy." Xiao Ming believed himself.
In contemporary sugar making methods, there are three main categories: lime method, sulfite method and carbonic acid method. The effects of lime and carbonic acid method are not satisfactory. Only the sulfurous acid method can directly obtain the white granulated sugar that is currently eaten.
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 a small-scale production.
There is basically no big difference between the process of preparing sulphurous acid and sulfuric acid. So this time when Xiao Ming went back, he asked Lu Tong to develop sulphurous acid to establish a sugar industry. The 50,000 mu of sugarcane on the main island of Ryukyu could be considered sufficient. Used.
After visiting the white sugar workshop, Xiao Ming went to the island to visit the granary, but there was not much grain in these granaries, and most of them were sold. Xiao Ming didn’t care about this. Anyway, what he wanted was this precious land. The others do not matter.
After officially taking over the Dutch industry on Ryukyu Island, Xiao Ming and Claire returned to Michira Castle.
Now Claire is more and more looking forward to the cooperation with Xiao Ming, because in his opinion, the king of Qi is very willing to bring miracles to him, and as for the current loss they will definitely be able to recover.
Back at the castle, Claire suddenly heard something, reminding: "His Royal Highness, the defeat of the Japanese Kingdom, many Japanese pirates have fled to the north of Ryukyu Island. In the past, the north was the hiding place of Japanese pirates. After all, we did not develop that place. Now, now that His Royal Highness has occupied the main island of Ryukyu, he should consider the impact of the complete elimination of the Japanese Kingdom on Ryukyu Island~EbookFREE.me~Xiao Ming nodded. The Dutch said that they occupied only a small area in the south of Ryukyu Island. Most of the places are still areas for reclaiming.
For Xiao Ming, he is planning to establish two bases in Ryukyu, one is the current Michira Castle, and the second is the north. After all, there is a world-class deep-water port in the north of contemporary Ryukyu, which is the establishment of a military port. Great location.
Because of this, he can not only control the north of Ryukyu, but also prevent Japanese pirates from going south along the route east of Ryukyu.
"Thanks for the earl's reminder, I am considering this issue, but before that, let's talk about the next trade issue." Xiao Ming showed a look like a big bad wolf.
The moment of monopolizing maritime trade has finally come. He wants to convert Da Yu’s domestic commodities into a large amount of silver. After all, during this period, Europe has obtained a huge amount of silver from the Americas. (To be continued)).
