Chapter 23: The Son of Heaven Guards the Country

Zhu Di is also a smart person, but he is too nervous these days, so his brain has not turned a corner.

He Qiu dialed it so little, and Zhu Di figured it out.

"What Mr. said is extremely true, it is this king who is a little frightened and excessive, but this shotgun and **** still have to be made! My Ming Dynasty has suffered from foreign invasions for several years, and if there is a divine weapon to help, I will no longer have to worry about foreign enemies! ”

Zhu Di said more earnestly this time than just now.

He Qiu looked at Zhu Di and felt quite emotional in his heart.

He believed that Zhu Di's words were sincere.

In history, after Zhu Di successfully launched the Battle of Jingjing, he told his ministers that the Ming Dynasty treated foreign enemies without harmony, indemnity, land cession, and tribute.

In order to fulfill his promise, Zhu Di also specially moved the imperial capital from Yingtianfu to Shuntianfu, which was near Mongolia, the fierce enemy of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Face the foreign enemy and stick to the country!

So Zhu Di is still quite dignified.

This is also what He Qiu admires about Zhu Di.

But admiration is admiration, He Qiu still doesn't want to make shotguns and pistols at this stage.

Let's put it off for a few years, and then talk about it when I am familiar with this dynasty and have accumulated enough strength to develop without following the historical process.

"Old Zhu ...... Oh no, Your Highness, I'll make those two things as soon as possible, don't worry! ”

He Qiu cheekily made a promise to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Okay, I have already instructed the housekeeper, in the next time, Mr. can use the money of my palace at will, and as for skilled craftsmen, I will also recruit them as soon as possible!" ”

This is to ask for money for money, and for people to give to people.

In reality, it is cool to meet such a Party A.

He Qiu coughed slightly and said, "Your Highness, if you give me such a big authority, aren't you afraid that I will be greedy for ink from the middle?" ”

Zhu Di suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. is really joking, with Mr.'s ability, it is too easy to make money, and there is no need to be greedy for ink at all!" Take 10,000 steps back, even if Mr. is really short of money, withdraw some from the palace, that is what Mr. deserves! ”

He Qiu was a little moved in his heart.

can make the future Yongle Emperor so trusted, this trip to the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as worthwhile.

"Thank Your Highness for your trust, He will live up to his trust!"

He Qiu clasped his fists at Zhu Di and saluted.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "Mr. is not polite, this king still has something to ask for, I hope Mr. can agree!" ”

He Qiu leaned back on the back of the chair and said quite relaxedly: "Please Your Highness, just say it, if you can promise me, you will definitely agree!" ”

Zhu Di said: "I hope that Mr. can restrict the sale of instant noodles, and don't let it fall into the hands of foreigners!" This is an artifact of marching and fighting, if it is obtained by a foreigner, it will be much more difficult for me to deal with a foreigner! ”

The most important thing that is lacking in marching and fighting is military rations that can be stored for a long time.

And instant noodles obviously fit this characteristic.

Originally, the Mongolian cavalry was more ferocious, and if the supplies kept up, they would be even more aspiring, and Zhu Di's worries were not unreasonable.

He Qiu said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, your worries are a little unnecessary!" Instant noodles are okay to eat once or twice once in a while, but if you eat too much, it will do a lot of harm to your body! ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened instantly: "There is such a thing?" Sir isn't joking with this king, is he? The instant noodle king has also tasted it, and the taste is extremely delicious, how can it harm the body? ”

He Qiu was too lazy to give Zhu Di the popularization of modern knowledge, and said directly: "Anyway, you can believe me, instant noodles are not very suitable for long-term military food, even if it is passed on to foreign people, it will have no impact on Daming!" ”

Zhu Di was immediately disappointed.

He also thought about using instant noodles to increase the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, but now it seems that it may not work.

"Sir, isn't there such a thing as food that can be stored for a long time without harming the body? You are a man of God, you must be able to find it, right? ”

Zhu Di asked He Qiu expectantly.

He Qiu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a while.

Of course, there are foods suitable for long-term military rations, the most common being compressed biscuits, and then various canned foods.

But the problem is that he doesn't have any of these things.

The check-in system is not a one-size-fits-all wishing system, and the rewards are all random.

He Qiu also couldn't guarantee when he would check out the compressed biscuits and cans.

"Your Highness, He can try to study this food, but when it can be researched depends on the will of heaven!"

He Qiu told the truth very sincerely.

The randomness of the system, to some extent, is also equivalent to providence.

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Okay, if this kind of food is really researched by Mr. He, this king is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, and I hope Mr. He will not sell it to the people!" ”

In Zhu Di's heart, He Qiu is an omnipotent godman.

So he wasn't worried about whether He Qiu could develop military rations at all.

He Qiu is actually reluctant to sell compressed biscuits and canned food to the people, the taste of these two things is not special, and the sales are far inferior to instant noodles.

It's better to make a special supply for the military, which will make a lot of money.

He Qiu bowed his hand to Zhu Di again and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, He Mou knows in his heart, if His Highness has nothing to do, He Mou will leave first!" ”

Zhu Di said: "Why should you be in a hurry, sir, let's leave after eating!" ”

He Qiu remembered the blandest meals he had eaten in Zhu Di's Mansion before, and shook his head again and again: "Forget it, forget it, let's do it another day, I still have something to deal with today, and those merchants who came from afar are still waiting for me in the noodle restaurant!" ”

The seasonings of the Ming Dynasty are still not as good as modern ones, and the taste of the food can only be said to be average, which cannot arouse the appetite of He Qiu, a modern person, at all.

Zhu Di said helplessly: "Okay, since Mr. has something, then the king will not keep it!" ”

"Don't keep it, take your leave!"

He Qiu waved his hand at Zhu Di, and then walked out of the study quickly.

……

Noodle.

The merchants who had come from afar had not yet left.

They each sat around the table, each with a bowl of instant noodles in front of them, and they ate deliciously.

"This instant noodle is so delicious, I really don't know how Mr. He researched this delicacy, it's just a god!"

"Mr. He is the guest of His Royal Highness King Yan, and his ability must be very great, and it is not uncommon to be able to make such delicacies!"

"The noodles are tough and the soup is fresh, even the top chefs of Ying Tianfu can't make this deliciousness, it's slippery!"

A group of businessmen praised the taste of instant noodles in various ways.

He Qiu walked into the noodle restaurant and saw this scene, almost being amused.

This kind of thing, which has been eaten by many people in modern times, can be so highly praised in ancient times, and it is indeed a bit of a comedy.
