In Europa, the simplest sugar-making technology is not something they can have. The fructose and sucrose that Europa eats all rely on imports, and sucrose is a luxury that only nobles can enjoy, and white sugar is a treasure among luxury goods.

To give a simple example, in the UK today, sugar has even become a "privileged drug" for sale in hospitals. Only heavyweight members of the royal family can use a little when they are sick.

Can you take a bite of sugar when you are sick? This is the identity symbol of the British powerful.

In the Ming Dynasty, white sugar has entered the homes of ordinary people.

Not to mention anything else, in the homes of many craftsmen in the capital, the sugar will be placed in a pottery jar with a lid. The children at home will secretly open the lid while their parents are not paying attention, stretch out their fingers to take a sip, and then escape outside the house amid the half-true and half-false scolding of their parents.

All of this is due to the seemingly vulgar core technology of yellow mud water-sucking sugar method, and white sugar has quickly become one of the most popular products in the Ming Dynasty following the traditional export three-piece set of tea, silk and ceramics.

Now, the Ming Dynasty, which is approaching Japan alone, exports about 10,000 shi of sugar every year. This is because of the output. If the output of sugar is greatly increased, the Japanese market alone will consume a huge amount of sugar.

The Netherlands, known as the sea coachman, tried every means to acquire sugar from the Ming Dynasty and ship it to Europe for sale, making huge profits.

There is a special content related to the trade clauses proposed by the East India Company this time, which shows the popularity of white sugar.

The rapid rise of Sihai Sugar Industry will completely change the chaotic situation of different prices in various small sugar cottages, thus holding the pricing power of sugar firmly in your hands.

In fact, Zhu Youjian’s confidentiality measures are too late, and his current approach is equivalent to repairing the situation.

All personnel from countries outside the Ming Dynasty will be banned from entering the sugar-producing area, which is the best way Zhu Youjian can think of.

It is no secret that the yellow mud-water sugar-souring method appeared during the Longwan period. Fortunately, since the areas that produce sugar are all located in remote and remote areas in the inland area, this method has not yet been spread when there was no influx of foreigners, and the Ming Dynasty can continue to rely on this method to obtain a large amount of silver from the world.

Sihai Sugar Industry has sent people to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the sugar production industries in Fujian and Guangxi provinces, striving to acquire all sugar lagoons within five years to fully monopolize the output and sales of sugar. Subsequently, it will increase sales overseas and the domestic sales share will be further reduced.

If you can earn money from overseas, then focus on foreign trade and make money from your own people in China beforehand. It doesn’t matter if there is no sugar. Isn’t brown sugar or brown sugar sweet?

In addition to the profitable industry in the seller's market for a long time, the papermaking industry involved in Sihai Commercial Bank also falls within the scope of strict confidentiality of core technologies.

Although in the Ming Dynasty, some regions of Europe also mastered papermaking technology, and some brickists later generations praised this and praised the so-called European papermaking for promoting the progress and development of Western civilization, in fact, until the middle and early Qing Dynasty, European papermaking was still in a simple and rough stage, and the paper produced was just rough and stiff straw paper that could be broken at a touch.

Even this kind of broken straw paper that is so irritating to wipe its butt is very low, and the price is only slightly cheaper than sheepskin. Even many famous European painters at that time dared to make drafts on wooden boards now and then they could only draw on this kind of straw paper after repeated drafts.

In the foreign stories circulating in later China, the so-called prodigal act of Leonardo da Vinci painting eggs on straw paper is absolutely impossible.

Compared with rough and shallow paper like Europa, China, the originator of papermaking, has developed to this stage, and papermaking has become quite hard-core.

According to Zhu Youjian, most of the papermaking raw materials in the Ming Dynasty are mainly green bamboo. They are made by soaking, fermenting, hammering, two steaming, pounding, bleaching, paper making, drying, and several processes.

In addition, you should use bamboo curtains when picking up paper, and put paper medicine when making paper to ensure the quality of the paper 100%.

Don’t underestimate these details. It is this particular detail that makes the paper smoother and more durable.

In other words, when the Europa people struggled to make straw paper, the Ming Dynasty's paper varieties were already dazzling.

There are both exquisite and ultra-thin rice paper, hard jam paper, and special paper that can be made into military paper armor. The colors are also varied, which makes people love it.

In terms of paper area, the Europa was even unable to catch up with it. Large paper over 12 feet in the Ming Dynasty could be easily made, while the Europa of the same era could only make 56 inches of rotten straw paper at the largest time.

Just in papermaking, the Ming Dynasty was far ahead of other countries in the world, and all this was not completely over in the so-called "chaff prosperity".

With the influx of a large number of Western missionaries, they traveled all over China in the name of missionary, drew Chinese papermaking into pictures and brought back to Europe. This allowed Europeans to end the tragic history of having to make straw paper, thus creating a huge white paper that they had always dreamed of running away, which brought a strong help to the Europa culture in the 18th century.

Since countries around the world do not master various paper manufacturing technologies, the Ming Dynasty gave birth to many classic works with its world-leading papermaking technology and sold them to Southeast Asia and today's Europa, thus spreading Chinese civilization to the whole world.

Sihai Commercial Bank acquired ten small workshops in Shitang Town, Qianshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, the most developed paper industry, recruited more than 600 workers, and opened Sihai Paper. All the high-quality white paper produced is sold to Japan, North Korea, Jiaozhi and other countries and regions. After the scale of Sihai Paper Industry further expands, the white paper produced will also be dumped into the West.

Shitang Town is now a well-known place. The Lianshi paper produced in the town is widely used by the Ming Dynasty. Currently, there are more than 60,000 workers engaged in the papermaking industry, and the various papers produced every year cannot be counted.

The developed paper industry has also driven the great prosperity of the local tertiary industry. Various teahouses, wineries and hotels are everywhere in the town. In addition to working in papermaking workshops, the locals in the town set up various stalls to sell various food and other goods. The prosperity of the entire town is several times stronger than that of the county town.

Zhu Youjian was not surprised by the fact that Europa's artificial papermaking is so clumsy. What made him most curious was that there was no handy toilet paper. What did these Europeans who claimed to be spokespersons of the civilization world in later generations use to wipe their butts?

It seems that in addition to exporting quality white paper, we also need to increase the production and sales of toilet paper to save European bearded men who use trash to wipe their butts. By the way, we also allow them to create more excellent literary works more than a hundred years in advance and get rid of some ignorant and backward lifestyles as soon as possible.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to be the savior of Europe. Those who are obedient can eat candy and paper, and those who are disobedient can have flintlock muskets.

Break their legs.
