I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Because Xiaoting was still young, the government-run brocade workshop refused to accept her.

But you can also make some money by helping your neighbors make small things at home.

Zhang Laowu asked Xiaoting to save all the money as her future dowry.

Now Xiaoting's reputation for being virtuous has spread throughout the village, and there is an endless stream of people coming to her to propose marriage.

But Zhang Laowu had his own ideas. He felt that his stepdaughter should be paired with a good boy, preferably a literate man.

Anyway, the child is still young, so Zhang Laowu and his wife are not too anxious.

Xiaoting fled here from the Huai River with her mother.

They have experienced hunger.

Xiaoting really treats Zhang Laowu as her own father.

I am also grateful to the emperor, so I can live a good life.

"This is cane sugar from Da Yue. It's very sweet and delicious."

"Dad doesn't like sweet food, you can eat it."

Xiaoting had tears in her eyes, she finally lived a good life.

Opening the newspaper, the white sugar cubes look like crystal diamonds.

Xiaoting carefully picked up a small piece.

So sweet!

It’s so sweet!

Xiaoting has never eaten anything so delicious!

The happiness of eating candy made Xiaoting shed tears of happiness.

After eating a piece, Xiaoting quickly put it away and said:

"Dad, save it for Mom. She's pregnant now, so she needs something sweet to nourish herself."

Zhang Laowu said, "Eat it quickly. Life at home is much better. This little bit of candy is not expensive!"

The sugar from Dayue was instantly sold in Dazhou.

Compared to maltose, sucrose is sweeter.

Compared with honey, the price of sucrose is very cheap.

For a time, all the cities near the port opened sugar shops selling cane sugar.

Everything is just as Liu Wenzhuo said, the secret of making sugar cane cannot be kept secret for long.

The sugarcane from Kangping Prefecture sold like hot cakes, and soon all the nearby prefectures and counties followed suit secretly.

There is so much sugarcane in Japan, and the principle of the sugarcane press is very simple. We can find a few skilled craftsmen and replicate it immediately.

The steps of making sugar are extremely simple.

The price of sugar in Dai Viet quickly dropped, and the profits were no longer as lucrative as before.

However, the sugarcane wine from Kangping Prefecture suddenly emerged as a famous wine throughout the South China Sea.

Wine, for one thing, will have subtle differences depending on the local water source, climate, and humidity.

And Kangping Prefecture is a place that is really suitable for brewing wine.

Sucrose tastes sweet and fragrant, much better than rice wine.

Sugar plus alcohol is double the joy for the crew.

Sugarcane wine suddenly became the flagship product of Kangping Prefecture.

Many merchants from Southeast Asia would come to Kangping Prefecture specifically to purchase goods.

When business is good, many merchants will make a special trip to the port of Kangping Prefecture to purchase goods.

Whether it is sugarcane wine or sugarcane, these are all commodities that can make money by reselling them.

Nowadays in Yuhang, Zhejiang and other areas, sugar cane is a popular commodity.

With Liu Wenzhuo as an example, all the prefects and county magistrates nearby followed suit.

Make money from the sugarcane industry and then invest it in prefecture and county construction.

The whole of Dai Viet is thriving.

However, Dai Viet is now the territory of Da Zhou, so the officials must love the people of Dai Viet.

But in the territories of those marquises, the picture was quite different.

Lauren is a company employee in Greater Jose Indy who went to Little Luzon with the dream of getting rich.

In Little Luzon, Lauren lived a life of luxury.

He was responsible for gathering the natives and plundering the wealth of local Da Zhou merchants.

Many residents of the Great Zhou fled overseas for various reasons, and there were many people from the Great Zhou in Lesser Luzon.

Because the people of Da Zhou were hardworking and persevering in doing things, they were even wealthier than the local natives.

The Da He people came to Lesser Luzon, and in order to control Luzon, they constantly provoked conflicts between the local Da Zhou people and the indigenous people.

Laurent even summoned the natives to massacre the merchants from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With such means, Lauren accumulated a bright red fortune.

However, unexpectedly, Tang Yan's fleet defeated the Dahe fleet, and the Dahe people completely lost their stronghold in Southeast Asia.

Lauren's behavior was also exposed and reported by the local people of Da Zhou.

Tang Yan was furious and sold Laurent as a slave to the marquis of Dai Viet.

In the Marquis territories of Dai Viet, there were many white slaves like Laurent, all of whom were convicted criminals.

Either they massacred the immigrants from the Great Zhou or the local indigenous people.

Or there was a war with Tang Yan's fleet.

The dukes of Dai Viet are all rough and uncouth people who cannot be educated.

Seeing that sugar cane was profitable, they immediately established plantations.

Slaves like Lauren worked on the plantation every day.

If you are lazy, the supervisors and stewards of the marquises will whip you.

Lauren was exhausted every day, but she still forced herself to work in the yard.

When will this kind of day end?

"Sir, the Kingdom of Thailand is ahead."

A Dai Viet guide said to Tang Yan.

At this time, Tang Yan's fleet had already bypassed the South Bank Peninsula and headed further west.

Tang Yan recruited people from Dai Viet, Westerners and Nanyang to be his guides.

Now the fleet has arrived at its next destination, the legendary Kingdom of Cathay Thailand.

"The Kingdom of Thailand is in civil strife right now," said a Dai Viet businessman.

The location of the Kingdom of Thailand is very important.

The Kingdom of Thailand is located at the westernmost part of the Nan Coast Peninsula. Whenever the Kingdom of Thailand became powerful, it would invade the Nan Coast Peninsula.

And once the Kingdom of Thailand weakens, it will retreat.

"What is the current situation in the Kingdom of Thailand?" Tang Yan asked.

The Dai Viet merchant said, "The King of Thailand has a son and a daughter."

"The prince was only six years old when the old king died."

"In order to prevent the throne from falling into someone else's hands, the old king made his daughter the king."

"Let my son and my daughter rule the Kingdom of Thailand together."

"The old king also left a will that when his son comes of age, he should marry his sister."

Tang Yan was dumbfounded. These barbaric beasts were indeed different from normal people.

Even the royal family can do such beastly things, let alone ordinary people.

The Dai Viet merchant continued, "But now the King of Thailand is already fourteen years old and is unwilling to continue to lurk behind his sister."

"He began to get close to the ministers and plotted to overthrow his sister's rule."

"They took advantage of the Queen's tour to launch a coup and seize the capital of the Kingdom of Thailand."

"But the Queen has been in power for so many years, and she has many soldiers supporting her."

"The queen then raised an army in the south of the king of Thailand, and the two sides fought each other."

Tang Yan didn't want to get involved in the troubles of these barbaric small countries.

Anyway, Dai Viet is now part of the Great Zhou territory, and the Kingdom of Thailand will not be able to cause any trouble in the future.

Unexpectedly, although Tang Yan didn't want to cause trouble, trouble still found him.

When docked at the Thai port to replenish fresh water, the Thai people began to watch the Great Zhou fleet.

Although the Kingdom of Thailand has always been a vassal of the Great Zhou, it was the first time that the Thai people saw the Great Zhou’s fleet.

So mighty!

More than twenty treasure ships were docked at the port, blocking out the sun and the sky.
