Chapter 489: The Treasure Pressed on the Soles of the Feet
After Tan Gang received the order, he gave a reward of five taels of silver: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, why did Your Majesty suddenly remember to summon the official into Beijing?" ”
Miao Kui didn't accept the money, but was surprised: "Lord Tan doesn't know Yan Chengjin?" ”
Tan Gang has heard of this person, and the unprecedented assessment of the vassal king is supervised by Yan Chengjin.
However, what is this person doing to promote himself when he has nothing to do?
Miao Kui didn't say much, and he didn't eat in the house, so he returned to the post pipe and collapsed, waiting to enter Beijing with Tan Gang to pay the decree.
The maid happily ran to the backyard: "Miss, don't you want to enter Beijing to learn medical skills with Wang Ji?" Just now someone from the imperial court came, and the lord was promoted to a Beijing official. ”
Tan Yunxian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she didn't wait for her to come back to her senses.
The maid continued to smile and said: "Miss can go to Huimin Pharmacy to practice medicine, with Miss's medical skills, she will definitely be able to become the chief worker of Liangxiang, and there is no need to save money in the house." ”
No one in Nanzhili's officials stammered, and the discussion outline was only in the Wupinlang, with 30 stone of rice per month, and there were many people in the house, and the life was poor.
"Who do you listen to?"
"The notice posted by Lao Wang's bookstore says that medical women can go to Huimin Pharmacy to practice medicine."
Tan Yunxian's eyes lit up slightly, she was not interested in silver, but she was very skeptical of Wang Ji's medical skills.
The prescription developed by this person has been misleading to the world.
Capital
Since entering the palace, Empress Zhang has been recuperating in the silkworm room of the harem.
Princess Taiping was born prematurely, and her constitution was weak, and she also stayed in the silkworm room.
But Empress Zhang produces very little milk, and although she is ashamed to talk about it, it is a major event in the palace.
In the early dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi swept his eager gaze over the ministers in the palace: "In the princes' mansions, is there a candidate to enter the palace as the nurse of Princess Taiping?" ”
The ministers looked at each other.
Yan Chengjin lowered his head and pondered, Princess Taiping was born prematurely and was prone to stunting.
The Ming Dynasty had clear regulations on the selection of nursing mothers.
First of all, she is dignified, in good health and free of disease, and is a woman of appropriate age between fifteen and twenty.
Secondly, the milk is sufficient, the husband and children are healthy and alive, and there is no disease or disease.
To this end, the imperial court also set up a special ** mansion, which was valued by the imperial court.
The carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao married his nurse Keshi, which made the group of wet nurses famous in the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that no one answered in the palace, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing: "The celebrant and the brocade guard will be selected from among the military households, and within two days, the nurse will be sent to the palace." ”
There are many processes for the selection of nursing mothers, and the most important thing is that they are dignified and in good health.
Choose between fifteen and twenty.
Many military households can't even ask for a daughter-in-law, where is there a nurse, Xiao Jing is embarrassed: "The slave and maid will send someone out of the palace to find it." ”
Seeing Xiao Jing's constipated face, Yan Chengjin knew that it was difficult for the factory guard to find a nurse.
The milk powder business was born, and with the title of Princess Taiping, it can also be named Taiping milk powder.
If the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce wants to become the first merchant gang in the imperial court, and even establish a commercial house and issue silver bills, it needs enough public trust and silver reserves.
To silver, you need enough industrial income to support it.
And in the whole world, there is no one who sells milk powder.
But you have to be able to make milk powder.
Back to the house,
Yan Chengjin ordered how to pour two buckets of milk into a cauldron and boil over high heat.
How could he see that there was less and less milk in the pot, and he even called out in his heart, and the meat channel: "Young master, if you cook it again, it will be gone?" ”
"Stir, keep stirring, don't stop without the order of Young Master Ben."
Three or five people came to the kitchen, and Yan Chengjin's order, they naturally did not dare to disobey.
As long as the milk powder is spread out and dried on an iron sheet, it can be refined into powder.
After a while, the milky fragrance in Yan's mansion became more and more intense.
Two days have passed, Xiao Jing has not found the nurse, and he is in a hurry.
Princess Taiping was not fed enough milk, so she could only supplement it with rice cereal, and she was so hungry that she cried.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang, with pity in his eyes: "The Empress has suffered, I have sent someone to search for the nurse, and it won't be long before she can be sent to the palace." ”
Although Empress Zhang was also anxious, she could only respond: "The concubine understands. ”
The little eunuch came in and reported: "Lord Yan has come to visit the mother and the princess. ”
Not long after, Yan Chengjin walked into the silkworm room, holding a celadon clay pot in his hand, and when he opened it, there was a burst of milk fragrance wafting from the back room.
Suddenly, Princess Taiping seemed to smell the smell of milk and cried with a wow.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin curiously: "What is in the hands of Yan Qing's family?" ”
"This thing is called milk powder, and it has the same effect as breast milk."
Empress Zhang sniffed it, and sure enough, it exuded a heavy milky fragrance.
Emperor Hongzhi has scruples, from ancient times to the present, everyone grew up drinking breast milk, when have you ever seen someone eat this thing?
Princess Taiping cried even more fiercely, and no matter how much Mama coaxed, she couldn't stop.
Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, it's better to use this thing to try it, perhaps, it has the effect of stopping children's night crying." ”
Xiao Jing hurriedly brought down the milk powder, and soon, a bowl of hot milk was served.
After tasting the non-toxic, it was sent to the mouth of Princess Taiping.
The pink little tongue licked, the crying stopped abruptly, and the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang lit up.
"With this thing in the palace, why do you need a nursing mother, where did Yan Qing's family get it?"
Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "Your Majesty can order the ceremonial supervisor to go to Liangxiang to procure." ”
If you give it to Emperor Hongzhi, he may not accept it.
Empress Zhang saw Yan Chengjin and suddenly said, "The concubine heard that the college in Liangxiang accepts female students?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi snorted lightly: "In the past few days, I don't know how many bullets I have received, all of which are for the impeachment of Wang Yue. ”
The woman's appearance to practice medicine will naturally cause the dissatisfaction of the doctors.
They united to write a bullet seal, impeach Wang Yue, and disturb the atmosphere in the market.
But Emperor Hongzhi knows, what happened to Guan Wangyue?
Feeling His Majesty's gaze, Yan Chengjin felt embarrassed, Wang Yue can be famous for a hundred years, and he is the one who suffers.
The little eunuch came in and reported: "Niangniang, Mrs. Jin is here." ”
Since her brother went to sea, Empress Zhang ordered someone to hide it from Mrs. Jin, so as not to be too sad.
But now, more than half a year has passed, and my mother has already seen through it.
Empress Zhang's eyes were full of pity, and she sighed secretly: "Mother has guessed about her brother's affairs, and the concubine confessed to her today." ”
"I'll go back to the palace first."
When a woman's family talks about such sad things, they can't help but cry.
And there are still many sparse performances in Fengtian Temple, waiting for him to review them.
After a while, a gorgeously dressed old woman walked into the silkworm room, bowed slightly, and stood aside.
After Empress Zhang asked for warmth, she said with pity: "Half a year ago, my brother went to sea to look for Yinshan, and the sea was very dangerous, and my brother was afraid that he would die in the sea." ”
Mrs. Jin was struck by lightning and wept sadly.
Yan Chengjin hesitated in his heart, the two brothers were not dead yet, they were in the Iwami Silver Mine in the island country.
Do you want to report to Your Majesty?
……
island country
A Japanese man knelt down in front of Uemon and reported, "My subordinates have not received silk, and the man said that he did not know the two of them." ”
Uemon held the hand of the waist knife, and the green tendons burst out, and he was furious.
"Order the fleet in my house to go to Daming in vain, capture the two of them, and I will slaughter them myself!"
In the kitchen, Zhang Yanling took the bamboo tube that blew the fire and blew it violently, and the fire in the stove was a little stronger.
Since he was captured, he had to wash his clothes, cook rice, and pour night incense every day.
But he was full of enthusiasm and said happily: "Brother, in a few days, someone will come to redeem us." ”
"Humph! These hateful Japanese people, when the Ming army arrived, I personally slaughtered the right emon, occupied his mines, and told him to ask me to write every day! Zhang Heling also said.
Zhang Yanling's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "My brother is also going to kill Wei Taro." ”
Bang!
The suddenness frightened the two brothers into a panic.
I saw four guards with knives walking in from outside the door, carrying the two of them rudely to the courtyard.
The Zhang brothers knelt on the ground, and Youemon pulled out his knife and was furious: "You dare to lie to me and kill you!" ”
The two of them trembled, Yan Chengjin's dog thing, he didn't save it when he saw!
Zhang Heling didn't have time to think about it, seeing that the knife was about to fall, he was so frightened that he almost didn't pee.
Suddenly, Zhang Yanling was very calm and stood up stiffly: "Stop!" ”
As he spoke, he took off his shoes, only to see a piece of copper poured out of the bag.
"This is Daming's gold medal for avoiding death, which was given to me by His Majesty when I was knighted!"
Zhang Yanling looked at Zhang Heling proudly: "Brother, I learned from Yan Chengjin, I can really save my life at a critical time!" ”
Zhang Heling wants to beat him to death, there is a gold medal for avoiding death, why don't you take it out earlier!
