The reason why Zhu Youxiao went to war against the beggars was not only to rectify the public order, but the most important thing was that he really sent people to use them.
Originally, he had been worried about not having enough food because there were too many people.
But he found from the statistics presented by the Economic Survey Bureau that there were not too many people, but too few.
Especially in the north, where immigrants are more active, in some places the fields have become uncultivated.
This is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.
This is a good thing because the land in these places will be worthless and the court can easily acquire it for national ownership.
The bad thing is that immigration and industrial production have diverted a large number of labor forces, leaving the agricultural population missing, which may lead to insufficient food production.
Of course, this is just an isolated phenomenon.
There is still a large population in southern Zhili, but these people are neither willing to immigrate overseas, nor to come to the bitterly cold north.
Then Zhu Youxiao had to use other methods to transport some labor force to the north.
On this day, Wei Zhongxian ran in with a face full of joy and said: "Your Majesty, Liangqing has experimented with adding potato flour to flour.
Potato flour can be used instead of flour."
Zhu Youxiao stood up suddenly and asked eagerly: "Are you sure you are using potatoes instead of flour?"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you can add more than 10% of potato flour to the flour, instead of replacing it entirely."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Whether it should be used to make dumplings, steam pancakes, or make noodles?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "It's used to make noodles."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and quickly left the room.
Come to the institute.
Wei Liangqing greeted the emperor and his party in the laboratory of the Department of Agriculture.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Try it in front of me."
Wei Liangqing and his classmates first took out a bag of flour and a bag of potato flour, then weighed out ten kilograms of flour, then added one and a half kilograms of potato flour, mixed them together, added the old flour and started kneading the dough.
After a while, the dough was almost kneaded.
I took a small noodle making machine, put the dough into the entrance, and started to shake the handle with my hands.
Slowly, the noodles flowed out from the outlet.
Zhu Youxiao stepped forward and touched the wet noodles and said: "Half of it is used for drying, and the other half is put into the pot to take a look."
Wei Liangqing asked his classmates to bake the noodles, put the noodles into the pot, and then started to mix the noodle bowl.
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The factory minister is from a family background."
Wei Zhongxian said with a proud look on his face: "Your Majesty, this child is not good at all.
He likes delicious food and likes to cook and eat it himself."
Zhu Youxiao smiled.
After a while, Wei Liangqing prepared five bowls of noodles.
Wei Zhongxian stepped forward, picked up a bowl, took two bites and said, "Your Majesty, the noodles are chewy and chewy."
Zhu Youxiao selected three guards who came together and said, "You guys try it."
The three guards thanked him and started eating the noodles.
After taking a few bites, they all praised the noodles as good.
Zhu Youxiao smiled, picked up a bowl of noodles himself, took two bites and said, "Yes, Liangqing is indeed a good Qing."
Wei Zhongxian smiled brightly: "I still haven't thanked you for your praise, Your Majesty."
Wei Liangqing stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "The student has thanked the Holy Master for the praise.
In the student's opinion, since it can be used in noodles, it should also be used in other places.
The student has not had time to test it, but my uncle can't wait to report it to the Holy Master."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Actually, the easiest way to consume potatoes is to add them to military fried noodles.
That is absolutely no problem.
It's just that I want the people to get used to the taste of potatoes and regard potatoes as a kind of food instead of A dish.
The product of the North has always been We cannot be self-sufficient, so we have to transport a large amount of food from the south by water, and the weather is not very good now.
If I can't provide every family with food for two years, I will not know if potatoes can replace flour to a certain extent.

With the potato yield, I have no worries.”
Wei Liangqing said: "Your Majesty, students conducted an experiment and fed chickens with potato pieces and millet.
They found that chickens grew faster and laid more eggs when eating potatoes.
The students believed that the nutrients contained in potatoes are not weaker than millet, but The yield of potatoes is much higher than that of millet, so students think there is no problem in using potatoes instead of millet.”
Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up and he said: "I didn't expect that Liangqing would come to test the nutrients in it first.
It's good, good, and he has better scientific literacy than your uncle.
You can try adding more potatoes to the flour, or you can try using As for other methods, I think Hu Pancake is a very good method.
If both noodles and Hu Pancakes can use a portion of potato flour, there will be no hunger in the world.
If you work hard, you can achieve great results in farming.
Don’t hesitate to reward me generously.”
Wei Liangqing said: "Your Majesty, the student will definitely live up to the Holy Hope.
The student plans to experiment with Hu cakes and Western bread and pastries.
In addition, he also wants to improve the military fried noodles to make them taste better and more nutritious. ” Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "The younger generation is to be feared.
Minister, the good minister is much better than you."
Wei Zhongxian smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face.
He praised Wei Liangqing for being much better than he praised him.
Although the emperor was actually younger than Wei Liangqing, no one thought there was anything inappropriate about the words "young people are to be feared."
Zhu Youxiao likes people like Wei Liangqing very much.
He has quick thinking and solid skills.
The most important thing is his experimental spirit, which can be seen from the fact that he first experimented with the nutritional content of potatoes.
Moreover, he was not bound by local opinions and was willing to try Western cooking methods, which is unusual among Ming people today.
Common.
On a whim, he called out: "Liu Ruoyu, come and record a poem for me.
I want to give it to Wei Liangqing."
His own calligraphy was not very good.
To put it bluntly, it was terrible, so he asked the eunuch Liu Ruoyu to record it. .
Liu Ruoyu took out a pen and paper and looked at the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao chanted: "There is no success in trying since ancient times.
It may not be true when you say "Fang Weng".
Now I am going to turn to the next sentence.
Success has been in trying since ancient times."
Liu Ruoyu wrote it, blew it, and showed it to the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao looked at it and said: "Good words, good words, and then write "Let's encourage little friend Wei Liangqing" at the back.
After Liu Ruoyu wrote it as he was told, Zhu Youxiao took out his "Mr.
Xiao Qi" seal, dipped it in ink pad and stamped it carefully.
Then I looked at it and couldn't help but feel proud.
The calligraphy is good, and the seal was carved by Dong Qichang.
The two complement each other, and the poem is even better.
Although it was stolen from Mr.
Shizhi, it was also written by himself.
It is really a good poem.
Liu Ruoyu naturally did not think this was a good poem, but the meaning in this poem was fresh and very consistent with what Wei Liangqing had done
