Zhu Song paused here when he said, and then continued: "The threat to the north of the country is lifted, the threat to the sea is lifted, the country is rich and strong, and the people are living a good life. ”

"No dynasty can always be strong, and no dynasty can last forever, even if it is the Ming Dynasty, this king is the descendant of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family's rivers and mountains will not always exist, but at least we can try to prolong the existence of the Ming Dynasty."

"Even in the future, the Ming Dynasty has really lost the hearts of the people, at least we have a clear conscience about our ancestors and future generations, so the Yongle dynasty must not only have merit but also great merit, and let the historians and descendants of later generations mention the Yongle Emperor, and we must sincerely sigh that the Yongle Emperor is a person who is suitable for being an emperor, and he is a good emperor."

Zhu Song's words, the lineup feedback to all the adults present, look at me, I see that you are a little speechless for a while, and I don't know what to say.

Zhu Song picked up the notebook on the table: "This notebook will not be deducted by the king, and the king will hand it over to the emperor." As for whether the emperor adopts it or not, this king wants you to know it well, but this king also wants the emperor to see the opinions and suggestions of your lords, and this king wants to let the civil and military officials, the subjects of the world, and the descendants of later generations see that the cabinet is not the king's word. ”

After Zhu Song finished speaking, he put the notebook back on the table, and then left the cabinet with his head held high, and went out of the door, and the eunuchs who were twenty paces away called back and asked them to send the notebook to the imperial study.

After talking so much to these adults, Zhu Song also felt dry, and originally planned to leave the palace and go home, and drink a few cups of tea happily, but he didn't expect that before the noon gate was reached, the prince over there dragged his fat body and hurried over.

"Uncle Twenty, slow and slow!"

Zhu Song looked at the prince panting, and hurriedly patted him on the back to help him straighten out his breath.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you in such a hurry to come here, you have to take good care of your body. ”

It took the prince a while to take a breath, then looked at Zhu Song and said, "Twenty uncle, have you forgotten the method you promised to make white sugar before?" Officials of the Ministry of Industry have asked many times in the past few days! ”

After Zhu Song heard this, he really forgot about it when he slapped his head.

"I've been busy with things in my hands before, and I really forgot about it, I'll give you this method of making white sugar, and then teach it to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, so that they can find a few trustworthy craftsmen, and this method of making white sugar must not be reduced to paper."

The prince waved his hand: "Second uncle, if you are okay, you should go to the Ministry of Engineering with me, the emperor asked about this matter this morning, and the emperor means that this method of making white sugar is very important, and it must not be spread, even I, the prince, can't know." ”

"The emperor also said that he plans to set up another yamen to sell and make white sugar, and then just like controlling salt, but white sugar must be firmly in the hands of the imperial court, and the silver earned from white sugar must be completely handed over to the treasury, so this candidate is very important."

"You are the one who found the way to make white sugar, so it is natural for you to take a good check, and this secret recipe can only be known by you and a few craftsmen who know, except for a few of you, the rest of the people know that it is to be beheaded!"

Zhu Song understands that the emperor has always been worried about white sugar, and it is no wonder that the formation of a treasure fleet is imminent, as long as the treasure fleet is formed, white sugar is still a sought-after product.

It is said that a thousand catties of brown sugar can boil out a mere tael of frosting, so there has always been a saying that there is a tael of silver and a tael of sugar.

In Daming, you still need a tael of silver and a tael of sugar, if you take it to the surrounding countries to sell, those countries want to buy white sugar, then you have to take out at least three taels of silver to buy one or two sugars.

If you can make this white sugar in batches before the time for the treasure fleet to sail, you can not only sell it at home and earn a lot of silver, but also sell it abroad and make a lot of money.

Zhu Song touched his throat, he was dying of thirst now, but there was no way, so let's go.

"Let's go, let's go, it's better to have a cup of tea to quench my thirst when I get there, I'm so thirsty, you don't know what the ministers in the cabinet just said just now, that mouth is more difficult to say than one can say, it's really embarrassing for me!"

Zhu Song followed the prince to the Ministry of Industry, and met several craftsmen preliminarily selected by the Ministry of Industry.

Because they look like the Ming version of the science and engineering man, although they don't have glasses stuck on their faces, they know from their faces that they must be the kind of talents who like to study their skills.

There is even a craftsman who still squints at people, and there is something wrong with this buddy's eyes, although he looks vaguely at people, but his eyes reveal a kind of wisdom.

Zhu Song stepped forward to shake hands with them one by one, although these craftsmen, the crown prince and the officials of the Ministry of Industry present did not understand why His Royal Highness King Han wanted to grab their hands, but thinking of His Royal Highness King Han's extraordinary, I thought that this might be the sympathy of the craftsmen.

The prince introduced them one by one, Zhu Song and these craftsmen they had seen one by one, and then began to retreat, and the prince and all the officials of the Ministry of Industry left only these four craftsmen.

"Actually, there is nothing too advanced in this production and refining of white sugar, it is very simple, that is, use a funnel and then use some gauze and hay to pad underneath, and then pour it on top with boiled syrup, and then water it with yellow mud water, after the yellow mud water rushes through the syrup from the funnel, the white frost that forms on the funnel is white sugar."

"Although it is possible to make white sugar now, that method is too wasteful of raw materials and time, and this method is a rare and good way to make it without wasting time or materials."

The four craftsmen didn't expect the method to be so simple, everyone look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say for a while.

It's still the craftsman with some short-sighted eyes, and he has seen some of the world without stage fright, and he immediately said when he heard the words.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't tell the four of us such a simple method, you should break it down so that the others don't know what the specific methods are."
