Chapter 688: Happy Cooperation

Regardless of whether the artifact of dusk is really as good as he said, Zhu Di is happy, because he finally understands a truth, a truth that he has long understood but has always chosen to doubt because he doesn't know why.

At the beginning of the twilight, it is really the home of the Ming Dynasty!

There are also selfish intentions.

But his selfishness is based on the family and the country, which is acceptable, after all, Dusk is a flesh-and-blood person, he is only twenty-one years old, and he has seven emotions and six desires.

Otherwise, he has so many women in the Yellow Mansion who are good-looking.

Men, it's understandable to pursue some carnal desires outside of their home and country.

Recognize heroes and re-heroes.

When two men are the same kind of people, it is easy to resonate, at least at this moment, in Zhu Di's eyes, Dusk and him are the same kind of people, and he said with a bright smile that Aiqing has a heart.

Dragon's Heart.

Dusk smiled and said: "Weichen has a heart, then it also has to be Mingjun has ambitions, it is precisely because this Ming is His Majesty Zhang Jiangshan that there is a place for Weichen to use his ability, which is the luck of Daming." ”

Rainbow Fart walks up.

Wu Pu on the side looked at the scene of the monarch and the ministers getting along harmoniously, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

The Ming Dynasty has this monarch and minister, so why worry about it.

Zhu Di picked up the chopsticks and tried a big bite, not to mention, the taste is very special, although he is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but this instant noodle feels that his stomach is still empty after taking a bite, and he wants to eat it again, so he eats a few more bites, and finds that he can't stop......

Until the soup in the bowl is drunk.

Dusk is secretly happy.

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven is also a human being, and in this world, there are not many people who can refuse the delicacy of instant noodles, especially those who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Of course, you can't eat this stuff every day.

What's more, limited by technology, the current instant noodle varieties only have braised beef and mushroom stewed chicken, and when the chili peppers are widely planted, add pickled pepper beef and fragrant wax bamboo shoots.

We have to continue to develop military rations, and when the output of copper, iron and aluminum ore rises, and the research and development of various large-scale machinery in the workshop over there in Suncheon has a prototype, we have to consider canned food......

For the time being, I still choose to use dried meat.

Zhu Di took another dough cake, broke off a piece, put it in his mouth and ate a few bites, his mouth was full of crispiness, as if he was not eating noodles, but crispy buns fried from the most prestigious pastry shop in Gyeonggi.

Dusk smiled on the side and asked, "Your Majesty, buy some?" ”

Zhu Di's heart trembled, "Is it expensive?" ”

Dusk waved his hand, righteous and awe-inspiring, "Allow Weichen to trespass, Your Majesty, you don't like to hear what Weichen says, it is completely a villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman, such a thing that benefits the country and the people, Weichen still wants to make money, that is too morally bottom-line, Weichen's image in His Majesty's heart, is it just a mercenary businessman, Weichen is also a courtier in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Di was happy, "Talking about people." ”

is not angry, if others say that Zhu Di spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it is estimated that his head is crooked, don't talk about others, even if he says this at dusk, he is also looking for death.

Zhu Di was indeed in a very happy mood.

Dusk smiled, "Seriously, this time in the northern expedition to Mobei, the instant noodles supplied by the Times Commercial Bank to the Shenji Battalion, except for the 300,000 noodles donated by me, all the rest were sold to Your Majesty at cost price." ”

Zhu Di was stunned, looking at the dusk with a smile and fists, his heart was a little touched.

If all the courtiers of the world are like dusk......

Why worry that the world is not peaceful!

Such a courtier, how can he let him down, this time to go to Mobei, even if I, Zhu Di, am tired of becoming a dog, I am bound to defeat the Tatars, and live up to the painstaking loneliness of dusk.

Taking a deep breath, "Say, how many breads can you serve and how much does it cost?" ”

Dusk was confident, "I actually laid out the matter of instant noodles very early, and I didn't come out until today." However, because of the problem of storage and preservation, Yingtian and Shuntian's workshops can not provide many dough cakes, about one million at a time, some of which are two months ago, and they are all labeled with time, so when the Shenji Camp is used, it must first use the earliest one, so as not to expire the earlier batch. ”

Zhu Di nodded.

Dusk said: "The workshop on the Yingtian side, plus the production assigned to the farmers, can produce more than 40,000 dough cakes per day, and on the Shuntian side, there are about 50,000, that is to say, the production progress can only ensure the daily consumption of the Shenji Battalion." ”

So from the very beginning, instant noodles were only available at the Shenji Camp.

Zhu Di understands in seconds.

Because of the importance of the Shenji Battalion, as long as the logistics of the Shenji Battalion are ensured, then the expedition to Mobei will be invincible, plus the bread stored in advance, the Shenji Battalion can unscrupulously chase and suppress the Tatar iron cavalry on the grassland before winter.

This...... It's simply an unthinkable situation.

The biggest problem in the expedition to Mobei is the logistical baggage, when the problem of grain and grass in the country's sharp weapon Shenji Battalion is solved, so is it not easy to fight Tatar?

When he was a vassal king, he could beat the Tartars in pain without instant noodles.

Not to mention now.

He weighed the dough in his hand, it was indeed not heavy, and said, "So, you have to form a cavalry army specially used for transportation?" ”

Dusk bowed, "Of course." ”

Zhu Di asked again: "How to store the dough on a rainy day?" ”

Dusk has already had a solution, "Originally, in Wechen's plan, it was to make a closed packaging bag for each dough cake, but due to limited technology, it could not be done for the time being, so it was stored centrally, Wechen made countless boxes with thin wooden boards, and covered with animal skins to isolate rainwater, and then put lime wrapped in thick cloth to absorb moisture, as long as the storage method is proper, the maximum shelf life can reach three months." ”

When it comes to plastics, dusk doesn't make sense.

I only know that plastic is a polymer compound, and the raw material is resin, and how the resin is obtained, it is not clear at dusk, and it seems to be related to petroleum in my impression.

When it comes to petrochemical industry, there is basically no room for manipulation of this matter.

Chemistry is still a placenta.

Hey, Dusk suddenly had some thoughts, most of the chemists in this era are alchemy, and I can suggest Zhu Di to vigorously promote Taoism, so that some people in Taoism can become chemists!

It's possible.

The key is that this matter involves oil exploitation, and it also needs to improve the industrial level, and there is a long way to go.

When Zhu Di heard that it could be shelf-guaranteed for three months, his face was full of laughter.

Dusk said again: "Your Majesty, don't be too idealistic, although the dough cake is convenient, but you must not let the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion eat the dough every day, and you still need other food, so the cooked air-dried meat, the vegetables that have been air-dried, the dough, these military rations that have been equipped in the past, still have to be equipped with the Shenji Battalion." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "This is natural. ”

Finally, he asked, "Tell me, how many are you going to sell?" ”

Dusk had actually calculated the cost earlier, and he didn't think twice about it, "It's not expensive, sixty breads are one or two pieces of silver, this is indeed the cost price, and Your Majesty doesn't have to bargain." ”

It's really not profitable.

Although it is calculated that an instant noodle is almost ten yuan soft sister coin, but under the productivity conditions of the Ming Dynasty, flour is actually much more expensive than that of later generations, and it cannot be measured by the price of later generations.

Zhu Di bowed slightly, "It's feasible." ”

Assuming that the Shenji Battalion uses 30,000 taels a day, it is only 500 taels of silver, this price is really not expensive, and it is definitely a conscience price.

Twilight laughed, "Then let's work together happily and sign a contract?" ”
