Before the layout of the sauce industry, some people paid attention to him because of his production in traditional Chinese medicine.

Wang Hongyu has been a thoroughly famous figure in the past few months.

He didn't reveal his identity at first, and he was relatively low-key, but once the mobile library and the Hunhe Army arrived in the back, he suddenly became the focus of attention.

But it depends on whom.

For civil officials, Wang Hongyu is a martial artist who dares to save their face. But for the vassal kings with higher status, it was just an after-dinner conversation.

Kaifeng Zhou Wangfu, Zhou King Zhou Sucuo is already sixty years old, and the Wanli Emperor, who reigned the longest in the Ming Dynasty and died just last year, was born in the same year.

I am used to seeing the high arch of the Wanli Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, and Shen Shixing...... And now Fang Congzhe has also been driven away......

The game between the emperor and the civil officials, the suppression of the military generals by the civilian officials, and the internal party struggle of the civil officials...... These things in the court are far away from King Zhou's vein after all.

Wang Hongyu seems to have been favored by the current Emperor Qi.

Presumably, as a smart man, he would not be stupid enough to come into contact with the vassal king.

Zhou Wangfu naturally didn't ask much about this matter.

However, Wang Hongyu's large-scale industry in Qi County is still closely related to the Zhou Wangfu's management of medicinal herbs.

This news attracted attention.

In Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Gongfang, the son of King Zhou, is nearly forty years old and is in charge of the industry.

Among them, 50,000 acres of Chinese herbal medicine are included.

The fiefdoms of King Zhou are not all operated by themselves, and some are operated by the government and enjoy profits, but the 50,000 acres of Chinese herbal medicine are operated by themselves.

Zhu Gongqi soon learned that the news spread in Qixian County that he wanted to purchase Chinese herbal medicine raw materials and expand the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine.

Although he is still a son, he has quite a lot of achievements and brains, and immediately realized that this is someone doing an industry, and the scale is estimated to be not small.

After a little inquiry, it turned out to be Wang Hongyu.

It was a shock.

I heard that Wang Hongyu is very capable of fighting, and now he is purchasing a large number of Chinese herbal medicines, and he is also prompting some people to run this matter, is he going to fight again?

Zhu Gongfang's brain was very fast, and the first time he didn't feel that he had been robbed of the industry, but that this was an opportunity to expand the Chinese herbal medicine industry and sales.

If there is going to be a war...... In addition to Liaodong, it is the northwest and southwest.

Both of these places are not too far from Kaifeng in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

"Someone."

The housekeeper of King Zhou's Mansion immediately walked up to him: "What does the prince command?"

"Let's find out, is Wang Hongyu's southern army preparing for any war?"

"Yes."

Although the task only said to ask if he was preparing for any war, the housekeeper understood that he must find out the cause and effect before he could explain it to the prince and the prince.

After the housekeeper left, Zhu Gongyu fell into thought.

"We haven't been involved in government politics for a long time, and of course we can't do it now...... This shouldn't be a temptation from His Majesty the Apocalypse, right? ”

He thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Probably not, if Wang Hongyu is interested in engaging in some traditional Chinese medicine industry and widely using it in the army, it is indeed a good thing."

The lineage of King Zhou has been passed down from Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son, Zhu Hu, to the present, except for the beginning of the political affairs, and has been stable and stable in the future.

The main reason is that he only asks about political affairs, especially since his ancestor Zhu Hu has been planting himself, he has focused on business.

……

Wang Hongyu stayed in Qixian for one more day.

Zhou Wangfu heard the news, will they be smarter? Or will it be cautious?

In short, he won't be too stupid, like a rotten Confucian, he feels passive and runs out to block it.

"I have a friend who told me about the best prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he was the first to recommend the king of Zhou."

That must be a smart person~

According to records, the first line of King Zhou has been focusing on the operation and exploration of herbal medicine, and it is inherited from Zhu Hu.

Zhu Hu is the fifth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very interested in herbal medicine when he was young, thinking that it could save lives and prolong life, and began to write books on medicine.

Later, when he was exiled to Yunnan when he was involved in political affairs, combined with the very rich herbs in Yunnan, he understood many folk sufferings, and went to the countryside and visited the mountains with Li Mo, a good folk doctor, and jointly summarized and compiled the easy-to-understand book "Pocket Prescription".

More than ten years later, he was exiled to Yunnan for the second time, and never stopped the research of herbal medicine, and created the extremely far-reaching "Materia Medica".

The influence of "Materia Medica" is very huge, and Li Shizhen is influenced by it and has many citations. Xu Guangqi included it in its entirety in the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration, and many herbal books in the following centuries cited the Materia Medica.

This book also had a great impact on the Japanese kingdom, and then had a great influence in the British and American circles, and won very high praise.

Wang Hongyu can also make it more influential, so that modern medicine takes China as the main birthplace.

The traditional Chinese medicine produced by the grinding factory in Qixian County is weighed in standardized and customized utensils, packed into paper bags that are uniformly cut and packaged, and kept dry to preserve for a long time.

The packaging of medicinal materials should be used in dry areas with high terrain or sandy land, special attention should be paid to preventing heavy rainstorms and floods in summer, avoiding humidity during transportation, and selling them to various places and then dismantling, which is still a good medicinal material.

This large area of the workshop has dry areas and relatively shady areas that are prone to moisture.

This part is processed with garlic paste and tahini.

Many travelers have thought of the idea of making canned food, improving the diet of soldiers, and generating income.

However, many of them start with canned meat, after all, meat has a lot of protein and fat, and meat is an extremely noble super delicacy for generals and soldiers with heavy armor and equipment.

But the big question is, where does so much meat come from?

The land is full of food, and the people are not full, so what can be used to feed a large number of large livestock? Moreover, this large number of large livestock also has a variety of meat production, and without the epidemic prevention of modern veterinarians, it will almost die when it encounters diseases.

If you want to engage in large-scale aquaculture, you need science, technology, talent, land and most importantly, feed.

Doing so much at one time is also a bit difficult for the traverser.

But canned food can still be done~

The first choice is not canned fruits and fish, because they are not cost-effective in supplying energy, large in size, difficult to preserve, and difficult to sterilize.

The best options are on the horizon.

That's canned sauce.

The surrounding prefectures and counties of Kaifeng were rich in sesame and garlic during the Wanli period.

Sesame seeds and garlic, one of these two has high energy and oil, and the other has a unique taste and can also kill bacteria.

In ancient times, it was not a bad thing to have a unique taste, but a good thing that people couldn't ask for in cooking~

Without refrigerators and freezers, many of the ingredients of ancient people would not be fresh, and they would even be reluctant to throw away the foul smell.

Garlic is just the right thing to do.

In the future, soldiers and horses will fight long distances, and they will not be able to eat beautifully cooked food, and some of them will be very good.

A lot of food doesn't taste good, or after battles and marches, there is only a very monotonous one of dry food or horse meat.

If there is a small jar of garlic sauce and sesame sauce at this time, and eat it together, it will definitely open people's taste buds and boost morale.
