The winemaking technology of ancient Rome originated from ancient Greece. In that era, winemaking needed to produce glucose syrup in advance, which was to heat and concentrate the original grape juice first.

Since ancient Rome used a lot of cheap lead pots, the infiltration of lead particles will accelerate during the stir-frying and cooking process!

This wine that is mixed with glucose syrup and fresh grape juice is an indispensable daily necessity for the Romans.

However, storage technology was not developed in that era, and wines were easily sour in wooden barrels. In modern times, the sour wines were already accepted by people, but in ancient Rome, wines with fresh and sweet taste were truly high-end products!

The problem lies in the taste of sweetness, because it is difficult for humans to obtain sweetness in nature. In an era when sugarcane and beets were not planted on a large scale, sweetness belongs to the top luxury flavor.

Only honey and fruits are the sources of sweetness for humans. Honey is rare and precious, only rich people can enjoy it. The seasonality of fruits is very strong and cannot be obtained at any time.

Scarcity has become a symbol of identity. Being able to eat sweets in the Roman period has always been an entry-level standard in the upper class!

Society advocates sweetness, so people naturally prefer wines with sweet taste, and wines stored in wooden barrels always get sour quickly!

In the end, people chose lead containers to store wine!

The excited Romans discovered that the wine stored in lead containers not only had no sour taste, but became sweet and mellow over time!

This secret became popular in the Roman world all at once! But later chemists solved this mystery. The so-called sweetness is actually the smell of lead acetate produced by the chemical reaction between fruit acid and lead ions!

Friends who have studied chemistry know very well what lead acetate is, that is lead sugar!

The longer the aged wine is, the more lead acetate will be produced. The wine will think it tastes sweeter, and lead sugar is an industrial product itself, which is toxic!

The drunk Romans drank lead-sugar wine, drank spring water with excessive lead ions, and used lead plates to fill hot soup... The whole country quickly entered the era of collective lead poisoning.

This is a disaster that no one can escape, and even slaves cannot escape because the water you drink is contaminated!

The spring water flows through the lead pipe, and the spring water that seeps into the lead ions will be sweeter. Later experienced geological exploration teams can even guess from the taste of the spring water in the mountain that this mountain contains copper ore, lead ore and other minerals.

Trace metals can indeed affect human taste!

In this disaster, the average lifespan of the Romans was only 33 years old, while the aristocrats were even worse and the average lifespan was only 25. Heavy metal lead destroyed the Romans' fertility, deposited in their bones, and destroyed their brain cells.

Why was the prosperous Rome finally conquered by the barbarians has a lot to do with the avalanche of their entire nation's physical fitness!

The war destroyed the municipal basic engineering that Rome was proud of, and to some extent, it was also the luck of later Europeans!

Amadio is a patient with trace lead poisoning. This symptoms occur very slowly. It seems that his father did not have this kind of poisoning, so the genetic genes given to him are healthy.

A healthy child grows up to the age of being able to drink alcohol and starts to drink poisonous wine for a long time, or even drinking water and food may be contaminated.

It will not be obvious in one year or two years, but it will be effective in ten years. This is like smoking is harmful to health, and it is all for later remedies!

The lead element has begun to erode Amadio's brain cells, so this person seems a bit strange to the outside world. Maybe the descendants of this guy will not be healthy, and the Savoy Dynasty may be about to exterminate the clan!

After understanding this, Xiao Letian only had pity for the Spanish king. He was a pitiful person. In fact, he was just a patient. It was a little embarrassed to bully a patient!

But! For my Chinese people, I can enjoy a peaceful and prosperous era like the old men on Lake Geneva, so I will bear all the ugliness and sins!

After three rounds of wine, of course I drank French champagne filled with gold cups. I dare not dip the poisonous red wine!

The dishes were five flavors, but under Xiao Letian's warning eyes, the Chinese officials ate very little!

These Chinese civil and military officials who were as savage as ghosts, saw that the head of state did not drink the ancient Roman red wine and ate very little vegetables, and they knew that there was something wrong in it, and everyone deliberately ate less.

After the greetings, Xiao Letian finally broke his warm diplomatic rhetoric and began to bring the topic to the Philippines!

"Your Majesty! You have accepted the invitation from the Spanish Parliament to be ready to ascend the throne in the near future, so you should decide the internal and external affairs of Spain!"

"I need Spain to give an explanation for the Dragon Fish incident and this unexpected war!"

A trace of retreat appeared in Amadio's eyes, but his subordinates quickly winked at him and asked him to say as they had been rehearsed before.

"Ahem... Regarding the Dragon Fish incident... I...I think this is a misunderstanding. The Spanish Governor cannot be so unwise..."

"My Majesty, no matter whether it is possible or not, my diplomat was bombarded by you! All European envoys and merchant groups in Manila can testify!"

"Can misunderstanding explain all this? Misunderstanding put my envoys in prison and torture? Please don't challenge my patience!"

When Xiao Letian spoke coldly, Amadio's hand hidden under the table couldn't help but thrust for a moment. He tried his best to recall the words he had rehearsed before.

"Well... the Dragon Fish incident was a conspiracy... because... because you launched a rebellion from the Chinese. Is this a coincidence? I think this is your Chinese... the strategy is a strategy!"

Luo Huo almost laughed out loud, thinking in his heart, "What's this thing? He's still stuttering, his eyes full of retreat and cowardice. This is a coward!"

Xiao Letian really doesn't want to bully such a cowardly lead poisoning patient, but he has no choice but to break through this person.

The head of state deliberately looked calm and raised his hand. Xiang Ying, who was sitting at the end of the table, jumped out like a spring installed, and respectfully cut a cigar for the master.

The thick smoke filled the wine table, and Xiao Letian's face looked hideous and terrifying in the smoke!

"Dear Your Majesty! I can appeal to the whole of Europe for why the Chinese are uprising. I can even invite European countries to form a notarized inspection team to take a look!"

"I can let them see how you Spaniards cruelly rule and oppress me Chinese! Do you want to see the real mass pit? I'll take you to yourself!"

"You are not allowed to resist when you kill me ten thousand Chinese? Your Majesty, please give me a reply!"

The smoke choked Amadio and kept coughing, "I... this is not my sin... what does it have to do with me?"
