The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin didn't take the sucrose seriously, but Angela felt bad about it - it was her candy!

Half a boat of cane sugar, almost 50 tons, or 110,000 pounds. Marin actually wanted to give all of them away, but she felt bad for her housekeeper. So, that night, Marin pinched a few blue spots on her body...

Marin thought that Angela liked sugar, so she quickly made a popular science, saying that eating too much sugar would make her teeth go away, and the goddess would also become a toothless monster. In addition, it can easily lead to diabetes or something...

Angela was really frightened and didn't dare to eat candy. But Marin told her that if she really wanted something sweet, she could eat honey. Honey is a monosaccharide that is easily absorbed by the body like glucose and converted into energy without causing deposits. Therefore, even diabetics can eat honey appropriately. Of course, authentic honey. In later generations, because of food safety problems in China, many supermarkets' honey is actually masquerading as caramel. Therefore, people with diabetes are not suitable for eating, and problems will arise after eating. If it's authentic pure honey, there's nothing wrong with it. Of course, you can't eat too much.

However, for Europeans today, sugar is still a rare thing. Not to mention too much, even the nobles didn't eat enough. Today's Europe is very similar to China before the reform and opening up. Most of the people are sallow, skinny, and undernourished. When you see fat, everyone will like to eat it, just because of the oil and water in the fat...

Even in Europe in this era, materials are poorer than before China's reform and opening up. At least, in that era, Chinese people could buy white sugar with a ticket. Although the amount was less, it was still more than the European aristocrats in this era. Even European aristocrats have not seen white sugar, only brown sugar. Brown sugar is considered a high-end product from India.

During this period, Europeans' sugar making technology was still very backward, and they were not proficient in brown sugar technology, let alone white sugar. At this time, in China, in Nan'an, Fujian, it seems that the yellow mud method has appeared to produce white sugar. In addition, there is rock sugar technology.

Therefore, the European aristocrats in this period had a very hard life. Little Caesar, the son of the grand duke, could not bear to face brown sugar, let alone ordinary people.

So, Marin tried to distribute some brown sugar to his guards. As a result, those guards treated brown sugar as a treasure. When someone eats brown sugar, some sugar particles stick to their fingers, and they put their fingers into their mouths to suck like little Caesar. Moreover, the expression on his face is very ****, as if he wants to inhale some poison...

Marlin was shocked and knew the weight of sucrose in the eyes of ordinary Europeans in this era. You must know that most of his guards are from the knight family, which is still a wealthy family. The children of these little rich families all love cane sugar so much, not to mention the commoners.

As a result, Marin decisively ordered the bags of cane sugar to be made smaller. From the previous standard of 20 pounds per bag, it has been changed to a 1 pound bag similar to the size of the later salt packaging bag. Of course, it has also designed a beautiful appearance and looks very tall.

Moreover, Marin also learned from the leaders of later generations and wrote the inscription by himself - delicious cane sugar...

In fact, when the oil paper bag was opened, there was only black sugar in it, which looked like Nima powder...

If the girls of later generations open the package and see the stuff inside, it is estimated that they will be thrown directly on the face of Marin who wrote the inscription. But now, this is the high-end stuff...

When Marin met Jerry, the fat grandson of the fat Prime Minister Jeffrey, he gave him a bag of brown sugar with a smile. Then, the little fat Jerry hugged him and stopped letting go, and he didn't listen to his grandfather's rebuke, for fear that others would rob him.

If the parents of later generations see Marin's actions, they will probably give Marin a lesson with their fists - just use this rubbish thing to fool my baby?

But here, Jeffrey expressed his gratitude to Marin's reward. It's true gratitude, not false gratitude...

Then, this delicious cane sugar quickly became a high-end product in the upper class of Aurich, and it was very expensive.

When I heard that Marin was going to use all 110,000 pounds of delicious cane sugar as a reward for the meritorious soldiers, the soldiers were very happy, but the nobles were not very happy.

However, Geoffrey told those nobles - if you want, you can buy it with the soldiers who got the reward after the reward is over... As long as the price is high, those ordinary soldiers who are bitter will definitely sell...

In fact, this is only version 1.0 of Marlin Sucrose. This kind of brown sugar is naturally the lowest sugar. When Marin sent someone to contact Daming, he could hire highly skilled sugar artisans from Fujian to guide his men in Cuba and Grenada to produce more advanced brown sugar and white sugar.

Moreover, Marin had already planned it - in the future, brown sugar will be sold to ordinary people; brown sugar will be sold to small aristocrats and wealthy households; and white sugar is a secret thing, belonging to high-end products, specially used for selling For the middle and high-ranking nobles, even the royal family, as a luxury...

Of course, the packaging will also be different. For example, the oil paper bags that package brown sugar have the words "Delicious Cane Sugar" written on them. In addition to the words on the bags of brown sugar, they will also be printed with exquisite patterns to show the difference.

As for the white sugar, it is even more powerful. Not only are they packed in the most exquisite oil-paper bags, but outside the oil-paper bags, they will also be packed in exquisite wooden boxes. Then, sell him for 100 million... Ah, it's a very high price... At least, it's more than the price of pepper...

In fact, Marin didn't know that activated charcoal made white sugar better. Moreover, Marin also knows some methods of making activated carbon - that is, using high-temperature steam of 500 degrees to impact the charcoal on the metal mesh, thinking that it will create pores and cause adsorption.

But it's troublesome to come up with such a device. Moreover, the cost of production is also high. In this era, the sucrose produced by the yellow mud method is white enough to be considered a high-end product. So Marin was too lazy to get activated carbon. The most important thing is that the yellow mud method is low-cost and can be mass-produced.

This kind of brown sugar can be bought for 3 shillings a pound, and if you make brown sugar, the price will be higher. As for the white sugar, Marin had already planned that the price would have to exceed ten shillings a pound. Moreover, it is necessary to control sales and create the illusion of "noble" in order to maintain high prices.

At this time, Marin also reacted - it turned out that the housekeeper Angela didn't feel sorry for those sucrose, but because that sucrose was also money! Calculated at 3 shillings per pound, the 110,000 pounds of brown sugar is worth 330,000 shillings, which is equivalent to 66,000 gold coins...

But Marin still insisted on giving this batch of brown sugar as a prize to the soldiers, why? If gold coins are issued, none of the soldiers will receive a gold coin or two, so it doesn't feel like it.

However, I received one or two bags of oil paper bags and brown sugar with my own inscription. This rarity, as a prize, is more attractive than giving money directly. This black sugar, worth 66,000 gold coins, may have an effect that is even more shocking than issuing 150,000 gold coins in cash...

Moreover, these brown sugars are produced by Marin in Grenada's sugar cane plantation. Apart from the need to provide the serfs with food, lodging and clothing, there is basically no cost. Coupled with the use of advanced agricultural technology and fertilizers, sugarcane yields are high, resulting in lower production costs.

In fact, the production cost of this brown sugar worth 66,000 gold coins, even if shipping is included, is estimated to be only five or six thousand gold coins. Even if it is not given to the soldiers as a prize, it will still be sold. It's better to treat it as a prize and force it directly to the soldiers. In this way, so much cane sugar has been sold all at once, and the soldiers can be grateful. You see, the domestic aristocrats have not been able to enjoy this kind of cane sugar. As long as we have it, the nobles also ask us to buy it. I am proud... …
