When Zasuli brought what he was talking about, Liu Mingqi recognized it at a glance.
It is indeed cocoa.
It is the raw material for making chocolate.
It is said that cocoa originated in South America and is widely cultivated in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia.
As for when Coco came to Southeast Asia, the other world was probably in the Ming Dynasty, and this world is of course our Dakang Dynasty.
Speaking of which, Dakang¡¯s fortune is actually quite profound.
The arrival of so many crops that can help people in distress has really greatly eased the predicament of the empire, which is about to enter its mid-term.
As we all know, in the beginning of an empire, no matter how hard it is, no matter how many natural and man-made disasters it encounters, there is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone can work together to get through it.
¡°After all, after experiencing such a miserable period in the last years of the dynasty, everyone who survived had enough endurance, and the remaining natural and man-made disasters were nothing.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
They all quickly regained their breath and bloomed with extremely dazzling light.
But after many dynasties reached the middle period, people's tolerance for various sufferings became lower and lower, so all kinds of complaints and dissatisfactions arose.
In the later period, various natural and man-made disasters were added to the mix, and this dissatisfaction and indignation reached its peak. This led to the saying that "princes and generals should be in love with each other", and everyone began to rise up again and start a new dynasty. .
Dakang cannot say that it is in the late stage now, but after more than 80 years of dynasty, it is normal for it to be in the middle stage.
" If there were no life-saving treasures like Sweet Potato, I am afraid that it would have been delayed for another twenty or thirty years and it might have entered the final stage.
Of course.
Dakang is most fortunate to have Liu Mingqi.
The young man possesses all kinds of knowledge and common sense that surpasses this era for hundreds or even thousands of years. Because of this, he has been able to solve many problems and continue to extend the life of the Kang Dynasty.
Speaking of things like cocoa, if you want to say that it has a great effect, you can¡¯t say that.
But if you want to say that it has no use, then it won¡¯t.
Cocoa itself is bitter, which many people don¡¯t know.
It just adds a lot of milk and sugar and turns it into chocolate, which masks the bitter taste and leaves only a silky smoothness.
Zasuli is right about one thing, it's a bit like grease.
And if you want to get a silky and smooth taste, you must sieve very carefully to screen out as many impurities as possible in the cocoa liquid, so that it can be pure.
Eating too much chocolate can become addictive, and because of the stimulating effect of cocoa and the soothing effect of sugar, it can make people feel better.
This is just for ordinary people.
For the military, chocolate plays an extremely irreplaceable role.
Why?
Because chocolate contains the highest calories of all foods.
On the battlefield, after a high-intensity and tense fight, eating a piece of chocolate can provide a large amount of calories, allowing the exhausted body to recover.
Especially in cold places, it is a life-saving thing.
So we can see why Liu Mingqi was very surprised to find Coco.
From an economic point of view, when chocolate is sold to Europe, it must be a big seller. They are naturally not resistant to sugary sweets.
From the perspective of national security, providing each soldier with one to three pieces of high-purity chocolate can greatly increase their endurance limit, just like giving them chicken blood.
Sometimes on the battlefield, if you persist for a moment longer than others, even if it is just a few minutes, you can win.
Liu Mingqi hopes that chocolate can play such a role in the future.
Nothing said.
He immediately placed an order for "as much as you want" to Zasuli, and also paid one hundred taels of gold in advance.
Paying the deposit gives Zasuli the confidence to purchase more cocoa beans.
¡°And the young man is not afraid of Zasuli running away with the money.
As long as he dares to run away, Liu Mingqi will issue a bounty and take his head - this is something that Dakang businessmen often do. Even if they suffer serious losses, these people will be punished.
There are too many pirates on the sea who are willing to take on such a job, and I guarantee it will be done properly.
The merchants of the Central Plains have been doing this for hundreds of years, and the sea trade merchants who dare to do this have alreadyLet's go sailing, do business, and shock them, so that our shipyard can receive large orders and earn more to subsidize the government expenses! "
"Um!"
Miao Yan said, "Speaking of which, King De is not bad. He can help us solve some problems when he comes out to play like this! Especially the protection fees in Zhenjiang and Suzhou Hehe, it would be great if we can let him help us with ideas for a long time. "
"Oh, that's right!" Sun Rui suddenly realized and slapped his head, "Look at my memory! Just now, Salt Minister Bai Hengwang received a letter from a flying pigeon, about the payment of protection fees in Yangzhou!"
"Yangzhou also has to pay protection fees?" Miao Yan was overjoyed. He took the document from Sun Rui's hand and looked at it. He couldn't help but feel happy: "Hey, good guy! Bai Hengwang is really interesting! He actually defrauded those salt merchants for three times in one breath. One million taels of silverit¡¯s as much as Suzhou! It¡¯s great! It¡¯s great!!¡±
Sun Rui also smiled and nodded, "Although Mr. Bai's character is not very good, his ability to make money is still first-class. The most important thing is that he is timid and is not afraid of being scared. He also knows how to cooperate with you! The emperor will not let you touch him. What a foresight!¡±
Miao Yan shook his head noncommittally.
He didn¡¯t like Sun Rui¡¯s statement. Bai Hengwang, the moth, should have been eradicated.
But in turn, Miao Yan was full of praise for Liu Mingqi: "I still have to thank His Highness Prince De for giving me this idea. Tsk tsk, he is really my lucky star!"
