Everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, and a hundred thousand reasons suddenly appeared in each of their minds.

This is sugar?

But why is it white?

Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qi added lime water to whiten the sugar?

"Your Highness, is this sugar?" Shopkeeper Zheng asked the question in everyone's mind for everyone present.

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, but said with a smile: "Yes, but it's not over yet."

Immediately, Xiao Ji ordered the guys to put the white crystals in the pot into the honey separator that had just been built, and called a few of the strongest guys to shake the machine quickly. Xue's white sugar quickly appeared in front of everyone.

(This is the structure of a modern honey separator. It uses the principle of centrifugal force to separate white sugar. It would be better to replace the motor with human power to simplify it. If anyone travels to the land of the Southern Barbarians, it will be useful)

Xiao Jie invited everyone to come and taste it, and everyone's curiosity was aroused, but when they thought that this thing might be stained white with lime water, no one dared to speak for a while.

Tao Han, on the other hand, was not shy, and stretched out a green onion finger to dip a little bit of sugar, and a sweet taste flooded his whole taste buds in an instant.

"Sweet but not greasy!" Tao Han didn't know how to describe this sweetness, so he could only give the most simple evaluation.

Hearing Tao Han's comment, shopkeeper Zheng and a bunch of guys stepped forward to taste the sugar, and even Ye Qiu couldn't help stretching out his fingers to taste it.

Although there are only a few small grains of sugar, Ye Qiu admits that this may be the most delicious taste he has ever tasted in his life.

"Your Highness, I am a god!" Shopkeeper Zheng thought about it, and only this sentence was worthy of Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie laughed, but then his expression turned cold, and he said seriously: "From now on, you will follow the new method I demonstrated today to make sugar, but you must remember that it must be kept secret, and it must not be leaked. If anyone dares to eat inside and outside, don't blame me Xiao Jie Hsu turned his face and refused to recognize anyone."

Shopkeeper Zheng and his fellows trembled in fright, and all of them were so frightened that they dared not speak.

Xiao Jie will not put all the treasures on these guys, but just wants Ye Qiu to send a hundred Qingzhou soldiers to guard the sugar factory to prevent others from stealing secrets.

Shopkeeper Zheng's heart trembled. Of course he understood that these hundred soldiers were not here to watch them, but that's okay, if he is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid that thieves will miss him. Wang's people are here, and no one who has no eyesight dares to trouble the sugar factory.

Under the respectful escort of shopkeeper Zheng and a group of staff, just as Xiao Jie walked out of the gate of the sugar factory, an officer came forward to report in a hurry. There was news from Jiaozhi that Li Rui, the governor of Jiaozhou, was unfortunately ambushed by the rebels , defeated and killed, the rebels had already counterattacked into Xiang County in the south of Lingnan, massacred Han officials and people, and invaded Yulin County along the way. Fortunately, they were defeated by the two thousand parts led by King Xiao Huang of Qin, and the rebels were forced to retreat to Xiang County.

Now the governor Li Rui is dead, and all the officials in Jiaozhou have no leader, and they are waiting for Xiao Jie, who is the imperial envoy and king of Qi, to preside over the overall situation.

Xiao Jie didn't hear the guard's words clearly, he only had one doubt in his heart, he didn't understand why Xiao Huang appeared in Lingnan so quickly, and even handed over the rebels.

According to the plot of the original book, Xiao Huang, as an imperial envoy, was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River to control the locust plague. Relying on the protagonist's aura and a series of locust extermination methods handed down by his ancestors, he finally extinguished the locust plague.

Then Li Rui, the governor of Jiaozhou, was ambushed by the Jiaozhi rebels, and he was defeated and killed. Entered the Jiaozhi rebels in Lingnan, and finally attacked Jiaozhi, defeated the capital of the rebels, Thang Long (now Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam), captured the rebel leader Ruan Nan, completely put down the Jiaozhi Rebellion, and won the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the world the praise of the people.

Xiao Jie didn't understand, now that he was the imperial envoy in charge of controlling the locust plague, why did Xiao Huang appear in Lingnan, and why he was one step ahead of him, repelling the vanguard of the Jiaozhi rebels with his [-] steps.

In the end, Xiao Jie could only think of one possibility, that is, Xiao Huang, relying on his full-level command and intelligence, predicted in advance that Li Rui would be defeated and died, and went to Lingnan to recruit soldiers in the name of recruiting trilogy, and "coincidentally" met Li Rui. The Jiaozhi rebels wreaked havoc in Lingnan, Xiao Huang naturally fought against the rebels and repelled them, everything just happened to be logical.

Xiao Jie could already imagine that once the news came to the court, his father would be overjoyed, all the officials would praise Xiao Huang, and Xiao Huang would be formally assigned to put down the Cochin Rebellion. At that time, all the credit would have nothing to do with him. up.

But now that his own people are in Panyu, there is no way to rush into Jiaozhi ahead of Xiao Huang no matter what, and in the eyes of his father and all the officials in the court, he is somewhat suspected of competing for merit.

"Ding Dong, it has been detected that the host is about to compete with Xiao Huang for merit, and the task 'Soldiers are precious and fast' is now released."

"Mission requirements: capture Shenglong City before Xiao Huang."

"Success Reward: Destiny +5000, Commander +30, Intellect +20, Random Item*1."

The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly stepped in at this time and released a new task.

Xiao Jie was speechless in his heart, breaking the system, why jumping out to join in the fun at this time, how far is Panyu from Shenglong, how far is Yulin from Shenglong, he can't lead the trilogy to fly to Shenglong City, is there any in this era? air force……

Xiao Jie seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Tao Han beside him: "Does your Tao family have a large merchant ship that can carry hundreds of people?"

Although Tao Han didn't know why Xiao Jie asked this suddenly, but seeing his anxious face, he didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded: "There are five ships parked at the wharf in Panyu, which are transporting grain to Jiaozhou for disaster relief."

The land in Jiaozhou is barren, the people are aggressive, and the grain output is not high. The Tao family does not have much grain in Jiaozhou, but Jiaozhou is the most severely affected by locusts. The Tao family can only use large merchant ships to transport grain from Yangzhou, which is rich in grain, to Jiaozhou.

Xiao Jie was overjoyed immediately, and immediately ordered Ye Qiu to go back to the camp to rectify the soldiers and wait for his order tonight.

Ye Qiu took the order to leave, and Xiao Jie immediately asked Tao Han to inform the large merchant ship parked at the dock to unload the cargo immediately, and he will use the ship tonight.

How clever Tao Han is, thinking of Xiao Jie's order to Ye Qiu just now, he naturally understands that Xiao Jie is going to lead the army to sea with merchant ships.

Although Tao Han didn't know where Xiao Jie was going to go to sea, she instinctively dissuaded Xiao Jie. After all, although a merchant ship was big, it was far smaller than a warship. , when the time comes, I will die forever.

Xiao Jie had no choice but to tell her that the Jiaozhi rebels invaded Lingnan and slaughtered the Han people. If the war is not quelled as soon as possible, more innocent people will die.

Tao Han was finally persuaded by Xiao Jie's generosity, and he hugged Xiao Jie tightly in a moment of excitement, saying that if Xiao Jie was unfortunately buried in the belly of a fish or died at the hands of the rebels, although she had not yet passed the family, she would never live alone...

When officials of all sizes from Panyu City flocked to the gate of Tao’s house, they wanted to invite Xiao Jie, who was an imperial envoy and king of Qi, to preside over the overall situation, but they were told that Xiao Jie was ill and could not see guests. He also pulled out his camp and left Panyu. It is said that he withdrew to Jingzhou overnight to avoid fighting the rebels.

These officials stared wide-eyed for a moment. They were not fools. They understood that this ineffective prince should have been frightened by the Cochin rebels and had even fled Panyu in hiding.
