Chapter 188: Sucrose

Win Changsheng's words finally moved Win Zheng.

I saw Ying Zheng and said with emotion.

"What you kid said is right, a thousand miles of road will be repaired, not to mention that there are so many good things to help, there was no such thing at the beginning to be able to repair the road all over the country, and now there are so many things to help, if you can't even repair a thousand miles of road, then don't be the emperor of Great Qin!"

The voice of winning politics fell.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ying Changsheng's mouth.

He muttered inwardly.

This time.

Great Qin Empire.

There should never be a Nanyue king again, right?

The next day, above the court.

When Yingzheng announced that he would build such a road.

The ministers were a little stunned.

There were quite a few ministers who were ready to stand up against it, because in their opinion the land of Baiyue was barren and unusually barren, and there were no people.

There is also no arable land.

There is no well-developed handicraft industry.

The area is simply a wilderness, with only a group of wild people.

If the imperial court sends a large army to capture this place, it will be nothing.

After all, the desire to win politics and expand the territory is still quite strong.

And the courtiers.

They also hope that the territory of the Great Qin Empire will be even larger.

But when Ying Zheng planned to build a thousand-mile-long road here.

The ministers couldn't help but object.

The reason is simple.

The real core reason for their opposition lies in:

Build such a road.

Not a big problem.

But here's the problem.

It takes a lot of money, manpower and material resources to build such a road.

This is something that the ministers can't accept.

After all, such a road was built just to occupy Baiyue, a place where birds don't.

It's not worth it, is it?

Just when the ministers were talking.

Ying Changsheng stood up.

He was brought to the early dynasty by Win Zheng today.

I only saw Win Changsheng, standing in front of the ministers.

Then he opened his mouth to question the ministers.

"Wait a minute, what is said here to levy Baiyue, it is purely a waste of money and food, and the same is true for building this road, who said it? Stand up? ”

"Nineteen princes, this is what the ministers said!"

For a time, dozens of ministers stood up in the hall.

Even Wang Jian frowned a little and said.

"Nineteen sons, the old man still agrees with the conquest of Baiyue, but the old man really doesn't agree with the construction of such a road, after all, in the land of Baiyue, building such a road is useless except for transporting troops......"

"Anyway, the land of Baiyue can't collect taxes, and the imperial court can't use the local anything, why build such a road?"

The opposition of the ministers made Yingzheng frown.

At this point, he really regretted mentioning this suggestion.

After all, what the ministers said has already understood.

There is no benefit.

After repairing, there is no use except for the use of soldiers.

Compared to several other roads that could be used to transport commercial traffic, this one was simply for the military and did not have any economic benefits.

If it's just a short road, it's about the same, but a thousand miles is not too short.

In later generations, even a thousand miles of highway would take several hours to drive.

And just when the winning government was a little shaken, in the air.

I only saw Win Changsheng, and the immature voice resounded among the ministers.

"How can there be no economic benefits in the requisition of Baiyue?"

"You don't know what good things are in the land of Baiyue!"

"Nineteen son, aren't you joking?"

For a while, the ministers looked at each other.

Well, everyone doesn't think there's anything good in the land of Baiyue, and the reason is very simple.

At this time, the land of Baiyue, that is, the two Guangzhou, Fujian and other places in later generations.

In later generations, this was an economically developed area in the south.

It's simply that.

Several cornucopia-like existences.

No one would say that there is no economic benefit here.

But the problem is that the current era is located in the pre-Qin period.

In this day and age.

It was a wilderness, unexplored, just a bunch of blood-drinking savages.

That is, Baiyue people.

There is no local specialty that Daqin needs, either.

After typing, it just looks much bigger on the map.

In such a situation.

No one wants to go to the court, and this place is normal.

But in such a situation, Ying Changsheng said with a sneer.

"Locally, there is a kind of treasure that is produced, something that everyone here can like, and with this kind of thing, this road must be built!"

"What is there in the local area of the Nineteenth Prince?"

The ministers looked at Ying Changsheng with a stunned expression.

At this time, he only heard Ying Changsheng crack his mouth and smile, and opened his mouth to explain to the ministers.

"Local, sugar can be produced!"

Well, in the current Baiyue Land, there is indeed a specialty suitable for the local area, and this thing is sugar.

I only heard the ministers of the Win Changsheng Dynasty explain.

"Do you know that there is a crop called sugar cane in the land of Baiyue, and if the juice of this thing is collected, and then dried to dry, it will be sugar!"

"It tastes sweet and silky, and it has an endless aftertaste, similar to honey!"

"Is what the Nineteenth Prince said true?"

For a while, the eyes of the ministers lit up.

Because sweets are everyone's favorite in any era.

It's all an expensive thing.

Because of the current Daqin, although there is already a primitive, a kind of candy is maltose.

But this candy is too expensive because it requires food consumption to make it.

So when I heard it, Ying Changsheng said Baiyue, this place where birds don't can produce sugar.

The ministers couldn't help but be shocked.

And just when the ministers were surprised, Ying Zheng was also confused.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Why don't I know that Baiyue produces sugar?

Just when the winning government is doubtful.

Win Changsheng said to the courtiers.

"If everyone doesn't believe it, go back and let the Southern Expeditionary Army send a few carts of sugarcane to Xianyang, and then my son will show everyone a demonstration, and everyone will know!"

Well, Win Changsheng really wants to eat candy.

Redeem from within the system through the national value.

It's too expensive, it's not worth it.

It's better to make your own.

It's not too high-tech anyway.

As long as there are materials.

There are raw materials and want to extract sucrose.

It couldn't be easier.

And sugar cane.

Because of its special properties, it is a relatively durable crop.

So it was sent from the land of Baiyue to Xianyang.

It won't break.

It is completely possible to squeeze sugar on the spot, and then in front of the ministers.

Demonstrate it.

Let them taste the deliciousness of cane sugar.

When the time comes, they will clamoring to attack Baiyue.

"What the nineteenth prince said, the minister thinks it makes sense!"

At this time, Wang Jian stood up and said.

"If the land of Baiyue really produces sugar, the imperial court can develop Baiyue, and second, you can transport sugar from Baiyue to the outside, and then this road will have its use!"

"So the minister thinks that His Majesty can ask Bai Yue to send some sugar cane, and then try it to see if he can make sugar......
