Ning Liang scolded with a smile: "At the boundary of Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, who else can there be in the Zhang family besides Zhang Gelao?" ”

Zhang Ge Lao?

It is now the sixth year of Wanli, and the cabinet should be controlled by Zhang Juzheng.

This Mr. Yuanfu has been in charge of the government since the fall of Gao Gong in the sixth year of Longqing, and he is almost unmatched.

Look at the members of the cabinet.

Shen Shixing is an old fritter who is well versed in officialdom politics, and Zhang Juzheng said that he dare not speak about the West. Although Zhang Siwei is a person with a high arch, he has always been dormant, and he is also the embellishment of Zhang Juzheng. Lu Tiaoyang was also depressed, and finally resigned.

In this case, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Ju is the power of the world.

Ning Xiu admires Zhang Juzheng very much, so he knows Zhang Jiangling's life trajectory well.

In the fifth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng's dead ghost father kicked his legs to see the king of Hades, which was a devastating blow to Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng is at the peak of his career, and if he worries for three years according to the convention, it is a great risk.

Three years is too long, and Zhang Juzheng, who is in a high position, will never wait. If someone with a heart takes advantage of the three-year break to make a big fuss, perhaps by the time Zhang Juzheng returns to the DPRK, the situation between the DPRK and China will be turned upside down.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng directed and acted in a drama. The so-called seizure of affection is to retain courtiers who want to be worried about filial piety in the name of the imperial court. Because it is the meaning of heaven to win love, most of the courtiers can stay in office, which can be regarded as a trade-off between loyalty and filial piety.

However, some people in the DPRK saw that it was Zhang Juzheng's intention to seize affection, and as soon as they overthrew the Zhang faction, they thought that the time had come, so they went up to impeach Zhang Juzheng.

The dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and it was very despicable for the head of the cabinet not to worry about filial piety for his deceased father. In addition, Zhang Juzheng was sharp, the morale of the opposition was high, and the turmoil was out of control. If it weren't for the Son of Heaven standing up to support Mr. Yuanfu, and the court staff impeaching Mr. Zhang's 'minister', Zhang Juzheng might not be able to pass this hurdle.

Zhang Juzheng finally succeeded in winning and was able to retain his position. However, perhaps the momentum of this reversal action was too huge, and Zhang Juzheng left a psychological shadow to some extent. The following year, that is, in the sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng set off from the capital in mid-March to return to his hometown in Jiangling to handle his father's funeral.

Calculate carefully, shouldn't Zhang Juzheng be in Jiangling City now?

Ning Xiu's heart was pounding, both excited and nervous.

He really couldn't imagine that history would be such a coincidence, allowing him to travel to the point in time when Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown to bury his father.

Ning Xiu's favorite thing to read in his previous life was the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and he studied the monarchs and ministers of the Wanli Dynasty thoroughly. He is an iron fan of Zhang Juzheng, and now that he has the opportunity to see this famous minister through the ages, his mood is naturally indescribable.

"Dad, when the Zhang family's purchasing steward comes, I have to call my son."

Ning Xiu and said.

Ning Haoqi said: "What, do you want to befriend this purchasing manager?" ”

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "The finger cake can be sold to dignitaries and dignitaries, either by taking the civilian route. These days, the finger cakes we sell are only chopped green onions. If it is sold to a wealthy family like the Zhang family, it can be slightly improved. ”

After a pause, Ning Xiu continued: "If you add eggs and bacon, the taste will be better, and the price can also be sold more expensive." ”

The old lady Ning Liu was curious: "Xiu'er, I know this egg, but what is bacon?" ”

"Uh......"

Ning Xiu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "It's fried pork strips." This thing is paired with finger cakes, and the taste is simply amazing. ”

Who knew that Ning Liu frowned and said, "Pork strips?" It's not going to work. How can the dignitaries eat that thing, and pork is only eaten by poor people. ”

Ning Xiu was stunned. What does that mean?

Isn't the bacon meat of later generations a delicacy sought after by countless literary and artistic youths? Why is it that in the Ming Dynasty, it is so unpopular with dignitaries?

Ning Liu explained: "The pork is too dirty, and the gentlemen naturally don't want to eat it. They eat all beef. ”

"Didn't the imperial court order that the slaughter of ploughing cattle should be forbidden?"

Ning Xiu asked casually.

"Naturally, ploughing cattle cannot be slaughtered. But sick and dead cattle can always be slaughtered, and they only need to be reported to the government in advance. ”

Ning Liang frowned, not at all surprised that Ning Xiu had asked this question.

After all, the son is not a farmer, and only reads the books of the sages, so he may not know much about these minutiae.

"Then let's use chicken and duck instead."

Ning Xiu didn't think that he would be able to change the eating habits of the Daming dignitaries in a short period of time. Since pork is not liked by the gentry, it can only be substituted.

Famous families can eat beef, and that's because they have a good relationship. The number of sick and dead cattle reported to the government is limited, and it is unlikely that ordinary small households like the Ning family can buy them.

Pork can't be bought, beef can't be bought, and chicken and duck meat are the best choice.

"Chicken and duck?"

Ning Liang scratched his head and said, "This is not meat." ”

Ning Xiu suddenly remembered an article he had read, which was about poultry meat such as chickens and ducks that were not classified as meat in Daming, and could only be regarded as an appetizer.

"Well, let's try lamb tenderloin."

Ning Xiu was really a little helpless in his heart. Chicken and duck meat don't seem to be much better than pork, and the eating habits of the Ming gentlemen are really unpredictable.

"Sheep tenderloin is naturally okay, but how to solve this smell?"

Ning Xiu said with a smile: "This is easy to do, Dad can soak the lamb loin with rice vinegar for an hour and a half." As for the price, it's set at twenty-five cents a piece. ”

"Up so much?"

Ning Liang is an honest man, and he was really surprised to hear his son Lion open his mouth and set such a high price.

"A piece of lamb loin costs five yuan, and the price of twenty-five yuan is not too high. Besides, the food in Zhang Ge's hometown is naturally more expensive than that of ordinary people, otherwise how can it show the dignity of Ge Lao. ”

"Okay, your father I know, so according to what you said, it will be set at twenty-five pieces of paper. After a while, let your mother go and buy the lamb loin back. When the purchasing manager of that Zhang Mansion comes, I will call you. ”

Ning Xiu was overjoyed in his heart, and as long as he made friends with the purchasing manager of this Zhang Mansion, he might really have the opportunity to meet this Zhang Taiyue.

The turning point in Zhang Juzheng's life was the sixth year of Wanli, the year he reached the peak of his life, but it was also from this year that various illnesses followed.

Zhang Taiyue's personal affairs led to the overdraft of his body, and also laid the groundwork for his death in Wanli's tenth year.

If it was possible, Ning Xiu still hoped that his little butterfly could shake its wings and change the trajectory of Zhang Juzheng's life.

If Zhang Juzheng hadn't died so early, Qi Jiguang would have been preserved, and the entire history of the late Ming Dynasty might have been rewritten!
