In today's Ming Dynasty, people regard potatoes as vegetables.
Of course, they are originally vegetables, so the consumption is not large, but Zhu Youxiao wanted to use them as food.
It is obviously not practical to fry French fries because there is not enough oil now, so 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 it okay if potato flour is 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 profession.
I believe you can do it well."
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty wants your slaves to prepare meals for you."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Not for me, but for the people all over the world.
You go to the agricultural department of the research institute to find some people to study how to turn potatoes into food.
For example, steaming potato buns, or making potato noodles, All is OK.”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, this slave of Steamed Buns can be tested, but don't we have potato vermicelli now?
Is there any difference between potato noodles and vermicelli?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "That's a vegetable, not rice.
What I mean is to mix potato flour with flour to see if it can be used to steam steamed buns and make noodles.
Think about it, if it is mixed with wheat flour, it will still be mixed with wheat flour."
If the taste is the same, if only 10% of the potato flour is mixed in, it means that the potatoes can be regarded as wheat.
If you think about the price difference between the potatoes and wheat we purchase, you will know how profitable this is. " When Wei Zhongxian heard about making money, his eyes immediately lit up.
It's not that he wants to make money himself, but he knows that the emperor needs a lot of money now, so he is naturally very interested when he hears that there is money to be made.
He thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this slave has some selfish motives and wants my good ministers to study together."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "What kind of selfishness is that?
Wei Liangqing is originally from the agriculture department, and he has studied very well.
You can ask him to come, but I still have to say it first.
The credit of others cannot be placed on him.
It’s okay to give him the credit for your work.”
Wei Zhongxian knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Wei Liangqing was his nephew, and now he was adopted in his name.
Naturally, he wanted Wei Liangqing to be rewarded for his meritorious service.
Zhu Youxiao remembered something and asked: "By the way, factory minister, last time I heard someone said that you have a biological daughter outside, aren't you ready to admit it?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but my little girl was unlucky and died in childbirth at the age of seventeen."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Have the child been saved?"
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "I can't keep it."
Zhu Youxiao sighed.
The current medical level is indeed too poor.
Last time, he sent someone to send the newly made microscope to Liaodong to Wu Youxing.
Wu Youxing wrote a note saying that human anatomy has been basically completed.
Finished, he already has many new ideas and will report them to the emperor when he returns.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao can only place his hope on Wu Youxing's return to see if some concepts and treatment methods of Western medicine can be added to traditional Chinese medicine to improve the medical level of Ming Dynasty.
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 heavily."
Wei Zhongxian was greatly excited.
This was a good opportunity for Wei Liangqing, and of course he had to seize it.
At the same time, a farm outside the capital.
In a room in the middle of the farm, four people were having a meeting.
A middle-aged man about forty years old said: "Today is the first time that all four parties have gathered together.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Let's share the preparations and plans of all parties together, so as not to cause trouble without knowing the allies." plan, that would be funny.”
Another goatee in his fifties stroked his beard and said: "This matter was first raised by my master.
All parties had some contacts in the early stage.
My master believed that all parties were trustworthy, so today's four-party meeting was held. .
We have prepared several plans, and I want to talk about these lines first.”
He stood up and walked around: "In the first plan, we bribed a father-in-law.
He can lead our people into the palace and find an opportunity to kill Zhu Youxiao."
"The second plan is that Zhu Youxiao likes to go to the small villa in the Capital University Hall.
The defense here is not very strict.
Our people can pretend to be students and do it in the villa."
"The third plan is to take action when Zhu Youxiao is on his way to the Ordnance Bureau.
Our people will seize Jianzhou Jurchens, led by our Jurchen friends, and attack and kill Zhu Youxiao.
Take a look, but There is a better way” The third person asked: "Is the insider in the palace reliable?"
His voice was sharp, but it turned out to be a father-in-law.
Goatee said: "This man was greatly favored by Wang An.
After Zhu Youxiao dismissed Wang An from his post, Wang An died in depression.
This man blamed Zhu Youxiao for Wang An's death and wanted to kill him." quick."
The father-in-law shook his head and said: "Zhu Youxiao just removed Wang An's duties and did not kill him.
This is already very good.
Look at the Wei Dynasty, Cao Huachun was not Wang An's confidant, they It's great to work with Wei Zhongxian now.
No one will blame Zhu Youxiao because of Wang An's affairs.
I'm afraid this person is unreliable
.
"
Goatee said: "This person's intention to rebel against Zhu Youxiao is absolutely true, and we have taken his only nephew into the house.
Even if he wants to rebel, he has to take care of his nephew's life, right?
Eunuch Liu , There are some people in this world who are determined about one thing and don’t care about anything else.
Sometimes the truth doesn’t make sense.”
Eunuch Liu nodded, feeling that what he said made sense, and then shook his head, how could there be such a person in the world?
In his opinion, Xiao You had already done his best to Wang An, and this person would actually do it because of Wang An.
Kill the king for peace's sake.
After the deed is done, the man must die.
He said: "We believe that the king's intention is very simple.
After Zhu Youxiao's death, something will happen to Zhu Ciran soon, and then only my master can sit on the throne.
But before Zhu Youxiao's death, we will not I will put in a little effort, just provide some information.”
Goatee nodded.
Eunuch Liu and the others really cannot interfere in this matter.
They must ensure that King Xin has nothing to do with this matter, so that King Xin can ascend the throne without causing any trouble.
The middle-aged man said: "Our Zhang family can provide 300 fully armed servants, and there is no problem in dealing with more than a thousand officers and soldiers.
We can come up with the third plan.
In addition, our Zhang family also has three highly skilled warriors.
Both the first and second plans can be used
