On the way home, Liu Mingqi was still thinking about Coco.
Things like cocoa are indispensable in the Western world.
The edible value of cocoa is second only to pepper and coffee that make Westerners crazy.
Westerners are generally obese because they like to eat sugary chocolate.
What kind of milk chocolate, sugary chocolate, hazelnut chocolateetc., as long as you produce it and sell it to the West, it will definitely cause crazy buying.
The raw material of chocolate is cocoa.
The cultivation of cocoa is the same as that of pepper. It takes several years before the fruit begins to bear. Moreover, the fruit bearing time of cocoa is longer than that of pepper, usually four years.
This is why Luo Lie said that it will be "available on a large scale in five years."
But as long as the cocoa tree grows, it will not be a problem to harvest for more than sixty years. The period from ten to fifty years is the peak harvest season.
Luo Lie didn¡¯t know this. His so-called large-scale supply must be based on the number of plantings.
Of course, the most important reason why Liu Mingqi likes cocoa is not its economic value, but its military value.
For example, if Liu Mingjing and the others are going to conquer Nanzhao and Indochina, in that hot and rainy harsh environment, chocolate made from cocoa can provide them with enough calories and boost their morale.
??Cocoa + sugar, that is an important element to increase adrenaline.
It¡¯s definitely a little worse than taking X-drugs, but it¡¯s much better than taking chicken blood.
After thinking about it, after excluding the used ones, the amount of cocoa beans stored last year and this year is already over one million kilograms.
How about making all of this military chocolate and sending it to Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin in the southwest?
? ?First get used to using it during training, and then you will be more comfortable using it in war.
Thinking about it at this time, the newly ascended emperor is very lucky.
According to the rules, if the emperor ascends the throne in the middle of a year due to accidents, then this year will still be counted as the year of the previous emperor.
In other words, next year will be the first year of the new emperor.
It just so happens that the Nanzhao strategy will be launched next year. With Dakang fully prepared, it is obvious that Nanzhao cannot be resisted, so it will be won soon.
In this way, the new emperor of Dakang will be able to achieve the major achievement of "opening up new territories and promoting the prestige of our country" in his first year on the throne. This will obviously be recorded in the annals of history, and it is also a good start.
With such a huge achievement, the new emperor can sit more firmly and get rid of the contempt of those courtiers.
All right.
The new emperor here is Prince Su.
Liu Mingjing doesn¡¯t want to be the emperor, so Prince Su is also a very good choice.
He reminded Liu Mingqi of Fourth Master.
Although the fourth master is ruthless, he is a good hand in governing the country.
On the one hand, he directly took care of the huge mess caused by his father's 61st year on the throne, and on the other hand, he directly laid a solid foundation for his son's 60 years of prosperity.
So the so-called prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong is really nonsense, and it directly ignores the most important person in the middle.
Although Prince Su¡¯s character is cold and stern, he is definitely not ruthless. For example, when Liu Mingqi was almost killed by Miao Yan several times, Prince Su always directly came forward to confront Miao Yan, Wang Zhigeng and others.
With this kind of protective character, he will not raise the butcher's knife even when he becomes the emperor, and the ministers will feel more at ease.
¡¡
Back home, Liu Mingqi saw the old eunuch Zhao Shou.
"Compared to the radiant but radiant head steward at the New Year's banquet a month ago, he now looks very haggard.
No wonder.
Liu Mingqi had known for a long time that Zhao Shou basically stayed with Emperor Jinghe all the time except sleeping, and kept talking to Emperor Jinghe, trying to arouse his consciousness.
It¡¯s not good to rest like this, and it consumes too much energy. It would be strange not to feel haggard.
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Shou, who was originally sitting, quickly stood up and saluted when he saw Liu Mingqi.
"Old Zhao, why did you come to me?" Liu Mingqi nodded and said, "Is something wrong?"
He didn¡¯t think it was the emperor who had woken up.
When the emperor wakes up, Zhao Shou will no longer have such a sad face.
Zhao Shou was not polite, he bowed and said: "Your Highness! The emperor has been unconscious for so long now."?, strive to provide more adequate oxygen supply to the emperor's brain.
So it doesn¡¯t have the same smell as in the temple, but it is very fresh.
After Xiao Nianyu entered the room, she saw the emperor lying on the bed, who had lost a lot of weight.
Then the little girl¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red.
She ran a few steps first, then slowed down when she arrived, and arrived in front of the emperor lightly.
The little girl leaned down and looked at the emperor carefully. Without saying a word, tears fell down on the emperor's face.
In her impression, the emperor was a cheerful old man with a round face and a smile on his face.
But now the emperor is so thin, lying on the bed so pitifully, unable to even open his eyes
Xiao Nianyu, who was trembling, held Emperor Jinghe's hand with both hands, and said softly and crying: "Grandpa Huang Grandpa Huang wake up! I am Xiao Nianyu I am Your Nianyu wake up soon"
The two imperial doctors next to them were used to such scenes. They didn¡¯t respond to everyone¡¯s calls. They were already numb.
But Liu Mingqi and Zhao Shou stared at Emperor Jinghe's face and hands seriously.
As Princess Changle cried and shouted, Emperor Jinghe remained the same as before, without any movement.
He just slept on the bed, peacefully but with a hint of desolation.
