Chapter 560: Edward's Plea for Help

As a traverser, Marin naturally knows the difference between brown sugar and brown sugar. The processing method of brown sugar is relatively primitive, that is, the sugarcane is mashed and boiled for a few hours, and then quickly poured onto a flat surface to cool. After drying and hardening, it is broken, and it becomes brown sugar.

The whole process is relatively primitive, without any additives, and is relatively natural. Of course, the taste is also more mixed. Because some of the polyphenols in the sugar juice have not been removed. So, it gives the impression that the taste is not very pure.

In fact, this less pure brown sugar is the most nutritious. It's just that the appearance of brown sugar is more ugly. After all, it is dark and swarthy, and the grade is very low at first glance. Also, there is a bit of a sticky feeling.

Brown sugar, on the other hand, is often processed with some alkaline lime water to neutralize the polyphenols in the sugar juice. As a result, the sweetness of the sugar looks more authentic, but it loses the burnt flavor of the brown sugar and loses a lot of its nutrients.

Of course, brown sugar contains a lot of calcium because of the addition of lime water, and in addition, there are a lot of iron ions. Iron ions nourish blood, which is also the reason why women drink brown sugar water after pain.

And white sugar, which is even more pure, is pure sucrose. But in fact, white sugar is the least nutritious......

This is like polished rice and coarse rice, coarse rice is more nutritious, but the taste is poor, so polished rice with no nutrients is more sought after.

The same goes for sucrose, which is the least nutritious. However, because it is crystal clear, it looks very good. So, white sugar tends to be the superlative. And the most nutritious brown sugar, which retains the purest original nutrients, is the lowest grade......

Of course, Marin wouldn't be stupid enough to point out that brown sugar is better than white sugar. For him, it is in his interest to tout white sugar as the best sugar when others do not know about it.

In addition, although the addition of lime water destroys the nutrients of sucrose, it can reduce the viscosity of sucrose, making sucrose not easy to stick into a lump, and it is easier to crystallize and granulate. Therefore, lime water is often added to general sugar production. Even in the production of modern white sugar, lime or sulfurous acid is added to dissolve or neutralize impurities and improve purity.

Marin suddenly remembered that it seemed that Cuba's laterite nickel ore produced a lot of sulfurous acid. Sugarcane is also produced on the island of Cuba, but one in the east and one in the west. Therefore, Marin can easily complete the preparation and transportation of sulfurous acid and make sugar by sulfurous acid.

As for you saying that white sugar turns sour? This problem does not exist. Because, sulfurous acid is a volatile acid. When removing water, how much water is removed, the sulfurous acid will slowly volatilize, or simply react with some substances in the sugar juice. The last remaining sucrose naturally does not contain much sulfate ions. After all, sulfites are very unstable.

……

Marin contemplated the good fortune of Cuba in sugar cane cultivation and sugar production, and it seemed that the future was bright. In fact, on the island of Cuba, Tara's colonization in Havana has not yet opened up the situation.

After all, Tara is not a decisive person, nor is she a person who is good at coaxing and being gentle. Now, he has only built a castle in Havana and planted 2,000 acres of sugar cane, which is far less than the scale of the island of Grenada.

It turns out that Marin's first few attendants were not all great talents. Tara, as a builder and developer, may be qualified. However, let him do the expansion, he seems to be a little unable to do it.

Therefore, Marin made up his mind to arrange for an even more vicious person to assist him after the autumn harvest was over, and he must complete the expansion of the island of Cuba. Otherwise, the flat terrain and fertile soil of the island of Cuba will be wasted.

……

While Marin was thinking about sugar and the island of Cuba, Edward of the House of York was also in the temporary royal palace in Dublin, thinking about important questions.

The letter from his sister Margaret, the county lord, he had already received. Edward then inquired about the North Sea Chamber of Commerce's representatives, but the North Sea Chamber of Commerce's representatives in Dublin did not answer the question directly, but instead fooled him around.

As a result, Edward trusted his sister's judgment even more. Moreover, the judgment of the elder sister Margaret is not unreasonable. Edward knew very well about the Tara Mine. After all, Mount Tara is just northwest of Dublin, not very far. At the beginning, the Beihai Chamber of Commerce dug a deep mine in the Tara Mine, and the movement was not small. But in the end, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce's mine in Mount Tara seems to have failed, as if because the mine was too deep, and as a result, a lot of water seeped out......

In addition, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce's demand that Edward win and get Newcastle and nearby areas was also very confusing to Edward at first. However, this time, when he saw his sister's letter, Edward seemed to understand that the other party seemed to be interested in the coal mines of Newcastle......

At the beginning, Edward had promised to make "Edison", the president of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, the Earl of Newcastle after the victory. However, her sister Margaret was more straightforward - simply to give Marin the whole of Northumberland, the north-easternmost part of England......

If Marin was really the president behind the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, it would be a no-brainer. Moreover, the Lord of Margaret also said that if the whole of Northumberland County were to be assigned to Marin, then Marlin would face the threat of the Kingdom of Scotland and become a protective barrier to the north of England.

Edward was very interested in this statement. Don't look at the fact that Scotland is Edward's ally now, but Edward also knows that Scotland just doesn't want England to be strong and stable. Before Henry VII defeated Richard III to become King of England, France and Scotland also supported Henry VII.

Thus, France and Scotland supported the opponents of England alone, rather than for a monarch or dynasty.

Once Edward conquered England and became the new king of England, France and Scotland might change their faces and turn in favor of their opponents. Their aim was nothing more than to plunge England into eternal chaos.

This Marlin. Hoffman and Edward had also heard of it. After all, the fiasco of Charles VIII was known throughout Europe. And that Marlin. Hoffmann seems to have made a name for himself by defeating King Charles VIII of France, and suddenly became a lord from an ordinary knight.

Later, this guy became the Count of East Friesland, led an army of 10,000 and defeated the Duke of Saxony, Albrecht, who led an army of more than 20,000.

That's not all, during this time, he also led an army of 40,000 and defeated the 50,000 troops of the Bossa coalition army, including 20,000 elite Swiss mercenaries, and 20,000 Danish troops.

Therefore, when it comes to combat effectiveness and military strength, this person is definitely a god of war level figure in Europe. If you can win over this person to help you fight Henry VII, it seems that the success rate is very high......

So, Edward's heart was on fire. According to his sister's wishes, he wrote a secret letter and handed it to the representative of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce in Dublin, hoping to give it to the mysterious "Edison" Mr.

In the letter, Edward told Mr. "Edison" that if he was Marin. Hoffman's words were willing to use the whole of Northumberland, including Newcastle, as a fief, and ask him to send troops to help him defeat Henry VII and regain the throne belonging to the House of York.

Newcastle and Northumberland, of course, are just basic conditions. If Mr. "Edison" has other conditions, it can also be mentioned. Even if "Mr. Edison" is not Marin. Hoffman, as long as he can say that he can move Marin. Hoffman sent troops to help him regain the throne, and the conditions remained the same......
