In the current Ming Dynasty, people treat potatoes as vegetables (of course, it was originally a vegetable), so the consumption is not large, but Zhu Youxiao wants to use it as food. French fries are obviously not realistic, because now the oil is already insufficient, give up. Mashed potatoes seem to be a common food in the West, but from later generations, the Chinese seem to have little interest and give up. Is potato flour okay if it's used to steam steamed buns?

Zhu Youxiao became interested, and said to Wei Zhongxian with a smile: "Factory minister, I want to give you an important task, and it happens to be your old job, I believe you will be able to do it well." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "The Holy Lord wants the slave to cook for you?" ”

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "It's not for me, it's for the people of the whole world." You go to the Agricultural Affairs Department of the Research Institute and find some people to study how to turn potatoes into food. For example, steamed potato steamed buns, such as potato noodles, you can do it. ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Shengshang, the slave and maid of steamed steamed buns can be tested, but don't you have potato fans now?" Is there any difference between this potato noodle and vermicelli? ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "That's a dish, not a meal." I mean to mix potato flour with flour to see if it can be used to steam steamed buns and make noodles, you think, if it is mixed with the same taste as wheat flour, only count the potato flour mixed in it, it means that potatoes can be regarded as wheat, you think about the difference between the price we buy potatoes and wheat, you know how profitable this is. ”

Hearing that he was making money, Wei Zhongxian's eyes immediately lit up. It's not that he wants to make money on his own, but he knows that the emperor needs a lot of money now, so when he hears that there is money to be made now, he is naturally very interested.

He thought for a moment and said, "Holy Lord, the slave maid has some selfish intentions and wants my family Liangqing to study together. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "What kind of selfishness is that, Wei Liangqing was originally from the agricultural department, and he has learned very well, you can ask him to come, but I still have to say it first, other people's merits can't be placed on him, and there is no problem with giving him your credit." ”

Wei Zhongxian knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave and maid have thanked the Holy One for his grace. "Wei Liangqing is his nephew, and now that he is under his name, he naturally wants Wei Liangqing to be rewarded for his meritorious service.

Zhu Youxiao remembered something and asked: "By the way, factory minister, who said last time that you still have a biological daughter outside, aren't you ready to admit it?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "The slave and maid thanked the saint for his concern, and the little girl had a thin life, and she died in childbirth at the age of seventeen. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Has the child been saved?" ”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "I didn't keep it." ”

Zhu Youxiao sighed, the current medical level is indeed too poor, he has sent someone to send the freshly made microscope to Liaodong to Wu Youxing last time, Wu Youxing wrote a note that the human anatomy has been basically completed, he has many new ideas, and he will report to the emperor when he returns. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao can only pin his hopes on Wu Youxing after he returns, to see if he can add some concepts and treatments of Western medicine to traditional Chinese medicine to improve the medical level of Daming.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Then you go and do this well first, if you succeed, I will not hesitate to reward you." ”

Wei Zhongxian was greatly excited, this was a good opportunity for Wei Liangqing, of course he had to take advantage of it.

At the same time, a grange outside the capital. In a room in the middle of the Grange, four people were in a meeting. A middle-aged man about forty years old said: "Today is the first time that our four parties have gathered together, what preparations and plans do the parties have, let's talk about it together, so as not to cause trouble at that time, but we don't know the plans of our allies, it will be funny." ”

Another goatee in his fifties stroked his beard and said: "This matter was first raised by my master, and all parties have had some contact in the early stage, and my master thinks that all parties are worthy of dependence, so there is today's meeting between the four parties." We have prepared several plans to make sure nothing goes wrong. I'll talk about all these lines first. ”

He stood up and paced: "The first plan, we have bought a father-in-law, who can lead our people into the palace and find an opportunity to kill Zhu Youxiao. ”

"The second plan, Zhu Youxiao likes to go to the small villa in the hall of Beijing Normal University, the defense here is not very strict, and our people can pretend to be students and do it in the villa."

"The third plan, then we have to do it on the way to the Ordnance Bureau by Zhu Youxiao, and our people will rob the Jianzhou Jurchens, led by our Jurchen friends, and attack and kill Zhu Youxiao. You see, is there a better way? ”

The third person asked, "Is the inside line in the palace reliable?" "He had a sharp voice, but he turned out to be a father-in-law.

Goatee said: "This person originally received Wang An's great favor, after Zhu Youxiao dismissed Wang An from his post, Wang An died of depression, this person blamed Wang An's death on Zhu Youxiao, and he wanted to kill him quickly." ”

The father-in-law shook his head and said, "Zhu Youxiao just took Wang An's job away, and didn't kill him, which is already very good." You look like the Wei Dynasty, Cao Huachun is not Wang Anxin's belly, they are now working happily with Wei Zhongxian, no one will blame Zhu Youxiao for Wang An's matter, this person is only afraid of being unreliable. ”

Goatee said: "This person's anti-Zhu Youxiao heart is absolutely true, and we have already taken his only nephew to the mansion, he just wants to fight against the water, and he also has to take care of his nephew's life." Father-in-law Liu, there are some people in this world who recognize one thing and don't care about others, and sometimes the truth doesn't make sense. ”

Gonggong Liu nodded, thinking that he was very reasonable, and then shook his head again, how can there be such a person in this world? In his opinion, Zhu Youxiao has done his best to Wang An, and this person would kill the king because of Wang An's matter. After the deed is done, the person must die.

He said: "The meaning of our belief in the king is very simple, after Zhu Youxiao's death, Zhu Ciran will soon have an accident, and then only my master will be able to sit on the throne." But before Zhu Youxiao dies, we will not make any effort, at most we will provide some information. ”

Goatee nodded, this matter really can't be interfered with by Gonggong Liu, they must ensure that King Xin has nothing to do with this matter, so that King Xin can ascend the throne without making waves.

The middle-aged man said: "Our Zhang family can send 300 fully armed family members, and there is no problem in dealing with more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and we can come up with the third set of plans." In addition, our Zhang family also has three martial arts offerings, whether it is the first set or the second set of plans, they can be used. ”
