Duke Jingguo was considered knowledgeable, but he had never seen such clean sugar.

The others were curious and took small handfuls and put them in their mouths: "It's really candy."

"Doctor Xiao, this is..."

He Ru: "This is white sugar."

Just because it is crystal clear and white as snow, it is already very popular among dignitaries.

But, is this really the only effect of white sugar?

When they had almost finished expressing their excitement, someone remembered He Rulai.

They all asked why the sugar was so white.

He Ru did not keep them in suspense, but did not answer their questions either. He said:

"Do you think that sugar has only this benefit when consumed?"

Xiao Yan: "What else?"

"No!"

"Your Majesty, sugar has more than just edible uses."

Qin Yunqi really didn't know what other effects it had, so he continued, "Doctor Xiao, tell me what other effects it has."

He Ru asked someone to ride on a piglet that he had prepared in advance.

Everyone was puzzled and didn't say much.

Weapons are not allowed in the Golden Palace.

"Which lord can make a cut in its flesh?"

They didn't know how to cut into the flesh with their hands without weapons.

No one moved, and in the end it was Eunuch Zhao who took Qin Yunqi's dagger and completed the task.

"My Lords, please watch carefully."

He Ru sprinkled a handful of sugar on the pig's wound that was bleeding.

After a while, miraculously, the blood flow decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone was very surprised and talked about it.

He Ru explained: "The high concentration of white sugar can inhibit blood loss in the injured person, buying them more time. In addition, it can also reduce swelling to a certain extent."

All the self-proclaimed powerful officials: Can you say this so loudly in the throne room?

Everybody: Is this something you can listen to by yourself? If it gets leaked one day, you’ll be in trouble!

He Ru: A truly powerful country will not be stuck in knowledge. It will only take precautions.

What if it gets leaked one day?

This should be popularized.

Isn't it true that what a country should do is to take precautions at the top level and keep technology confidential?

Although everyone had objections in their hearts, no one said it out loud.

He Ru didn't plan to continue.

The Golden Throne Hall ushered in an unprecedented silence.

Finally, it was the Grand Tutor who raised the question: "But the cost of sugar doesn't seem to be cheaper than those medicines."

"The reason for the high cost is simply because the raw materials are scarce and the technology is immature, so even fewer finished products are extracted."

Grand Master: "Then, according to what you said, you already have a solution."

He Ru said with a little pride: "I have the technology, and we can import the raw materials."

Xiao Yan grasped the key word: "Imported?"

He Ru nodded. "Importing means buying raw materials from other countries. Although Shuzhou in our country also has sugarcane, it is still not enough.

When trading with South Vietnam, South Vietnamese sugarcane is so common that only a few varieties can be sold at the prices they require."

Huang Tingye: "You mean, what we want to import is those sugarcanes that are not worthy of being put on the table?"

He Ru: "Prime Minister, your opinion is excellent."

Wang Pai: "Does this mean that we can sell the sugar we made from the sugarcane we bought cheaply from them back to them at a higher price?"

He Ru: Very good, very good. The boy is teachable.

Everyone's blood boiled to some extent when they heard this question.

almost.

"I am willing to donate this technology to the country free of charge."

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

Qin Yunqi cooperated at the right time: "Okay, okay, Doctor Xiao, is there anything you want?"

Although, no one dared to stand up and refute it, I dare not criticize it.

He Ru, please be more humble!

"When one is in high position, one worries about the people. When one is far away, one worries about the ruler. I will obey your Majesty's orders."

"Hahaha, what a great saying: If you are in a high position in government, you will worry about the people. If you are far away from home, you will worry about your ruler."

"What are your opinions, my dear ministers?"

Xiao Yan: It’s a good opportunity, but, could it be a bad opportunity?

After much hesitation, I finally decided to give it a try.

"Your Highness, I have an idea. Should I share it?"

"Accurate."

"Your Majesty's harem is declining. I think you can take Doctor Xiao into the harem."

Huang Tingye: You old bastard, you are so cunning!

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to confine such a talent as Doctor Xiao to the backyard. It is a waste of his talent."

Wang Pai: "That's right, that's right, Doctor Xiao is always different from the ignorant woman in the backyard."

Zhao Lei: "I second the motion!"

"I second the proposal!"

……

The Grand Tutor didn't say anything. He knew what Qin Yunqi was thinking, but it seemed that the flower had feelings but the water was merciless.

It’s better not to get involved.

But there are also voices of opposition.

A woman should stay at home to take care of her husband and children, and it is inappropriate for her to show herself in public.

The two factions engaged in a fierce argument.

Finally, Wang Pai said: "Xiao Langzhong has been taken into the harem. What should we do if we have any other plans in the future?"

Someone immediately followed up: "We are all from Xiqing, so what if we offer a strategy?"

Ok!

This is the truth.

Seeing that this good opportunity was about to disappear, Zhao Lei hurriedly asked loudly, "Who said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs?"

The Prime Minister continued, "On the one hand, you say that the harem should not interfere in government affairs, and on the other hand, you want the concubines in the harem to offer advice on the affairs of the former dynasty. Isn't this contradictory?"

It seems to be the case.

Since ancient times, the harem has never been involved in politics, but it was a precedent for women to enter the court.

Compared with the harem interfering in politics, they are more accepting of women entering the court.

After all, if the harem interferes in politics, the country will be destroyed in no time. But if she is kept under his own nose, it seems easier.

No matter how they discuss, they are undoubtedly thinking about how to suppress women.

Even when he thought he made the right choice, he never looked a woman in the eye.

They will eventually pay the price for their arrogance.

Then no one spoke anymore.

When Xiao Yan saw this, he became anxious.

The Grand Tutor saw that Qin Yun hadn't said a word for such a long time and already knew his choice.

"Is Minister Xiao dissatisfied with anything?"

Prime Minister: "Could it be that you have some other purpose?"

Xiao Yan...

"I don't dare."

Qin Yunqi: "In that case, let me tell you!"

"Doctor Xiao has made great contributions to sugar production and has shown concern for the country and the people. I am deeply moved. I have appointed him as the Minister of Revenue and have also entrusted him with the management of the sugar industry, with a state salary. All property from the sugar industry will be returned to the national treasury."

"Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"

It's only one level up, which is acceptable.

In fact, there is just no higher official position for her, so let’s wait until Xiao Yan turns the tables!

Conferred the title on the spot.

He Ru accepted the order, but was finally left behind.

He Ru also added other functions of white sugar.

I explained to them how important white sugar, as a type of carbohydrate, is to the human body.

Finally, it was proposed that white sugar could be used as an important strategic material, and a certain amount of white sugar should be given to each soldier before each war.

It can be eaten and used for healing.

Some people have expressed concern that there is not enough sugar available at the moment.

He Ru smiled, confident of victory.

"Does anyone know about the factory that opened in Shuzhou two years ago?"

"Is that the sugar factory you built?"

He Ru: “Exactly!”

Qin Yun was very happy. He didn't expect that He Ru had already made preparations.

But He Ru also knows that kindness is always rewarded and resentful, and she will not let them think that she should be selfless.

"Your Majesty, please compensate me for all the expenses over the years!"

No one thought there was a problem, but if they were, they would have asked.

It just won't be so straightforward.
