Utopia

"Prime Minister, look, red sugar."

"What's so special about brown sugar? Haven't you tried it?"

"Uh..."

"Oh! I see! Ah, I see!"

Compared to common salt, sugar, which is also susceptible to moisture and even mold, is actually considered an expensive commodity in various countries. A bottle of sugarcane sugar stored in a small pottery jar can be exchanged for eleven bottles of salt of the same weight on average in the market in front of him.

Therefore, this has led to the empire and even the major vassal states below to establish their own bee farms to meet the people's demand for sweetness with much cheaper honey.

However, as the prime minister, Mura also heard that a product called maltose is circulated from time to time in some invisible and difficult to find underground black markets.

As for what kind of raw materials this sugar that is said to be able to be stored for a year is made of, and what the finished product looks like. Most of the people in the empire who don't have much money to eat sugar basically don't know, and even if they know, they won't express it easily.

Therefore, for the instinctive desire for sweets, Prime Minister Mura could only sigh that there was a bee farm in his hometown, which was run by special serfs and guaranteed a sufficient source of sweets for their family.

At the same time, he also found an interesting thing, that the horses in their hometown also liked to eat sugar. Soldiers or explorers who were away from home would also carry some sugar on their bodies.

And when they were resting, they would put some sugar into boiling water and boil it into sugar water for drinking.

According to them, drinking some sugar water from time to time would ensure combat effectiveness. Especially when some rations were tight, sugar might be the only treasure that could ensure combat effectiveness.

Although he didn't understand the reason at all, the knights in his hometown had to pass down this "tradition".

"Prime Minister, I..."

"Go. Come back quickly, we are not here to do business."

"Yes."

Therefore, Prime Minister Mura was helpless. When would the era when not everyone could afford sugar end?

Although he, as the prime minister, was a noble of the Marquis level, he could taste desserts while the people around him drooled at the desserts in his hands. No matter what, he felt very sorry.

As a noble, if he really treated the civilians below as slaves, then the fact that several small lords of the Kingdom of Barnabalite were burned alive by angry civilians before was the most powerful and shocking teaching material for the members of the Barnabalite royal family.

Even if these thugs who burned the lords to death were completely destroyed by the entourage led by the knights afterwards, there would definitely be a second chance of outbreak if there was a first time.

For this reason, he had some ideas that he hoped to conduct priority experiments in the imperial royal direct jurisdiction, and let his elder brother refer to it after determining its effectiveness.

For example, the horse policy he proposed, the policy of raising horses for soldiers to fight, was proposed after he had experienced the incident of burning the lords, and he repeatedly considered it.

But everyone also understood that there were more than one minister in the empire, and the opposition came out directly when he just finished speaking.

If nothing else, raising horses consumes food. And compared to people, horses need to eat fine food! Coarse grains and the like cannot make horses fat, let alone keep them strong enough for fighting.

If it weren't for this, even Prime Minister Mulla himself would like to learn from the Principality of Akern and get a group of camel soldiers who know how to ride and shoot.

However, this is definitely not possible.

It is more difficult to tame camels than horses, and camels are not as fast as war horses. It is okay to give logistics trucks to transport supplies. If it is really to be fully promoted, every household will contribute to the cavalry, and cavalry riding on war horses will be the future development direction.

But then again, the empire cannot ensure that every household will not starve to death on the streets. From time to time, bankrupt farmers voluntarily sell themselves as slaves on the road and become the scenes of other rich and powerful people in the market.

To be honest, Prime Minister Mulla himself does not know what kind of powerful country is effective. Everyone is in ignorance, and even has to increase the power of oppressing the people to ensure their own strong position.

Perhaps the aristocratic college with children from thirteen countries is the way out for himself and every powerful person who desires reform?

At the same time, Sogen came to the Congress Hall of Solo City in a rare white formal suit. Although the two-handed machete on his waist did not change, he bowed to Her Majesty the Queen. He received a transfer document.

"Sogen, you have done a good job as the mayor for the past two years. So the Congress proposed that you take office in this place and officially become the mayor here. And I... um... you are a rare male official, and this is the first time I have granted this special document to a man."

"Your Majesty?"

"Just as you sold the folding forging technology to the Principality of Akern at a high price, causing the infighting among the natives to become more severe, our goal is to ensure that the Kahn Empire will always remain in a state of disintegration and civil war."

"Understood."

"And, as much as possible, let the natives take out all the gold, silver, jewelry, and all valuable materials they have hidden."

"Your Majesty, this difficulty..."

"What? You came from the arsenal, so you should be more familiar with this aspect than me. What's more, you have never stopped designing weapons and equipment. Although most of them are just minor repairs, the little things add up to a lot. I still understand the truth. So, keep working hard.”

As Her Majesty the Queen said, the dark elf force behind the secret "support" of the Principality of Aikon is the mayor of Ruyi Town, Abu Sogen.

Thanks to his past work experience in the arsenal, he secretly used 2 [To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple. 】【To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple. 】【To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple. 】【To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple. 】Selling the folding and forging technology of the Principality of Aiken at a fixed price of gold coins is actually just a small step.

[By the way, it is currently the best app for reading and listening to books. Install the latest version. 】

Especially the water quenching reminder that he deliberately leaked, which completely deceived the Principality of Aiken.

You must know that even if there are blacksmiths outside the Negan Kingdom who sell iron and sell kitchen knives, the liquid they use for quenching is not ordinary water. For an expert like Ouma, the quenching liquid he uses contains a lot of solvents and other soluble substances, and he uses a special process of two-liquid quenching in turns...

If he wants to know the secret recipe here, he probably has to marry one of his daughters. And he has to see if his daughter has the ability to learn the technology, and then bring such technology back to her father.

Obviously, this is unlikely. As long as you are a blacksmith, you will not reveal your special skills easily.
