When eating in this kind of weather, you should take a cooler route, such as cold noodles!
However, Yao Ji then thought about it and realized that the cold noodles were too simple and not easy to accompany.
Eating barbecue every day can easily damage the digestive tracts of the friends around you, so after considering everything, Yao Ji wisely chose Scottish Braised Noodles!
Yaoji was thinking about it and walked away when he saw Zhang Guoyuan, who was in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor, waiting at the door of Kunning Palace. He asked, "Guoyuan, did my mother-in-law give any instructions about dinner?"
"Your Majesty, I have not given any instructions to my servants about dinner!"
Zhang Guoyuan hasn't waited for the queen yet, but the prince has said the same thing. Now it seems that the prince is still very good at speaking.
The queen is depressed and distracted by the emperor's affairs, so the prince can make the decision on her behalf.
"For dinner, we tentatively plan to make braised noodles. When making the noodles, put a duck egg in two pounds of flour to increase the elasticity of the noodles. Chop the beef to make meat sauce, shred cucumbers as a palate cleanser, and make sweet and sour pork ribs. , shredded potatoes as side dishes. If the queen mother has other arrangements, you can add dishes later. You send people to prepare these ingredients in advance, and I will write down the specific methods. The difference is not big, and the imperial chefs will understand after reading it. . Oh, by the way, I need to do more, I will have dinner with the five generals soon!"
Making pasta may be a bit boring, but making Chongqing noodles or Beijing braised noodles should be no problem at all.
Although this thing seems simple, if it is done well, it can also stimulate the taste buds.
In the summer season, eating half-cooled braised noodles is obviously more reliable than eating stir-fried rice.
"His Highness has learned a lot, has the country in his mind, and can set an example for himself. He is frugal in food and clothing. He is truly a model for the world. All slaves and slaves will be touched and will follow you to death!"
Zhang Guoyuan was filled with emotion after hearing this and hurriedly sent his kind words. When the emperor was in charge, every royal meal consisted of more than a dozen or even dozens of dishes.
Nowadays, when the prince is the head of the family, everything is really simple, and it is not just a matter of words. Even the rich families in the capital do not have such simple meals.
"Okay, get ready to go! Just remember one thing, Shang Shan Jian is an important place in the palace and must not be used by bad people. Especially to prevent the evil spirits from causing harm. If you notice it, even if you find any clues, go to Li Fengxiang immediately. Take people, there is no room for any mistakes here!"
If Yaoji eats by itself, there is no need to add pork chops. This dish is just for the greedy little ones.
Facts have proven that the more tenacious a creature is, the stronger its adaptability and the less picky its eaters are.
If you want to stand at the top of the food chain, you must survive even if there is only cow dung left on the earth!
The beautiful biological mother is not in Kunning Palace at this time. She is probably still scolding her money-grubbing grandfather in some nook and corner.
Back then, my cheap grandfather worked in the same profession as Wu Yong, the military advisor in Water Margin, but I didn't expect that after becoming the head of the country, he would fall at the speed of light...
This year is 1639. Even if we count from 1628 when the scapegoat succeeded to the throne, even if the total supply is only 300,000 taels for ten years, the average annual supply will reach 30,000 taels!
Presumably the cheap grandpa also has a strong idea in his heart. If he can't make this amount in a year, then he will lose it!
Even if you are just a moth, you cannot lower your pursuit. You must have high standards and strict requirements!
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, the eunuch Li Fengxiang, who was directing the work of the young eunuchs, hurriedly came over to salute and report: "Your Highness, according to His Highness's instructions, more than 30% of the fireproof barrels in various strategic locations have been put in place. , the remaining amount can be made up within the next two days!”
Yaoji requires that the main bedrooms, such as the residences of the beautiful biological mother, the two noble concubines, Dowager Liu, the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan, etc., must be equipped with double-layer fireproof barrels to prevent water leakage and fire with ulterior motives. Fireproof buckets are divided into water buckets and sand buckets. Buckets filled with water are used to put out ordinary fires, and buckets filled with sand are used to put out oil fires. There were no foam fire extinguishers in the Ming Dynasty, so they could only use this thing to deal with oil fires.
Although it doesn't look good, it is easy to use. Just put it under the wall of each palace. The number must be enough to surround the house twice. In theory, it is enough. Because they can be placed nearby, when the fire is not big, as long as someone discovers and reports it, if these fireproof buckets are used in large quantities, the fire should be able to be controlled. This is much more convenient than getting water from a distance.
Yaoji walked to the house, opened the lid of the bucket himself, and saw that there was indeed something inside, and it was not an empty bucket. He checked a few in a row, and they were all the same. Then he felt relieved and encouraged: "Well, not bad! Later! This is such an important place, there is no room for failure!”
Now is the time when the weather is dry. Yaoji's idea is very simple. He wants to see which death-seeking thing dares to jump out and go against him at this critical moment. Even if I ask you to set fire to him, he won't be able to do that. Easy to succeed.
His work was affirmed by the prince. Li Fengxiang was pleased and immediately promised: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will do my best and will never tolerate thieves causing trouble!"
Because it is a special period, all persons entering and leaving the palace must be checked and recorded according to the highest instructions of His Royal Highness, including their identity, time, and items they carry, and must produce a palace exit certificate before they can be released. .
Once a suspicious person is found, there is no need to report it to the prince for approval. Regardless of the official position of the suspected target, the inner factory vassal can immediately arrest the suspect. If the target resists, he can be killed on the spot if he cannot be captured alive.
In his own one-third of an acre of land, Yaoji has three things to do.
First, punish a few worms, appease the rest of the chamberlains and maids, mainly increase their salaries and benefits, announce reward measures for reporting, enhance the loyalty of the servants, and at least significantly reduce the number of house thieves around them.
Second, we must effectively invest in the Zijin Bonds purchased by everyone, and use the mansions and properties collected from the nobles after they are liquidated, so that so much money cannot be turned into dead money.
The third is to use the inner factory as a pawn to strictly guard the rear residence and ensure the absolute safety of the imperial city by equipping with firearms, increasing checkpoints, and adding patrol teams. If an assassin sneaks in and slaps him, then there is no need to do the first two things.
How to defend the Forbidden City must start from both the internal and external aspects. The internal one is the inner factory led by the eunuch Li Fengxiang, and the external one is the Yongwei camp formed by the integration of the four Tengxiang guards.
This imperial army was initially led by Cao Huachun, but this internal minister did not know how to lead troops in battle, but he knew how to make good use of people. He recruited loyal and brave men such as Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, etc., and worked hard to build them with the help of these generals who were good at conquering and fighting. Under this situation, the combat effectiveness of the Yongwei Battalion has been rapidly improved.
In the encirclement and suppression campaign launched in the south to the Henan area the year before last, the Yongwei Battalion won three battles and three victories, frightening the nearby rebels and defeating many rebel local troops, including Zhang Xianzhong's troops. The outstanding performance made the father who was the scapegoat very satisfied. He was overjoyed and specially promoted Huang Degong to the rank of Prince's Young Master, with the rank of General Military Officer.
After hearing that all the commanders of the Yongwei Battalion had arrived, Yaoji met with these five people in his office, Wenhua Hall, including supervisors Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin, commander-in-chief Huang Degong, deputy generals Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji .
What needs to be mentioned is that the two senior eunuchs stationed by Cao Huachun are also knowledgeable. Although they are not as brave as the three colleagues around them, they are far better than Gao Qiqian, Wang Dehua and others who only know how to make money.
If they were not bullshit, they would be messing around in the military camp. Not to mention Yongwei Camp winning a battle against the thugs, they would have been destroyed by a group somewhere in Henan for more than two years...
"I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, and wish His Highness a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
When the five people saw the scapegoat's son, they immediately fell to their knees and reenacted the scene in the morning.
This frightened the little prince so much that he looked shocked and his heart was trembling wildly.
Also accompanying him was Gao Shiming, the eunuch in charge of ceremony. After Cao Huachun retired and returned to his hometown, he was left in charge of the Yongwei camp. For this position, it was not necessary to know how to lead troops in war, as long as he was loyal and loyal.
"My beloved lords, please be safe. The Yongwei camp enforced prohibitions, broke strict disciplines, and went south to assist in the suppression. It achieved remarkable results. All aspects are inseparable from the concerted efforts of your dear lords. As the 'Emperor's Strong Force', we can have such a battle like this." Power, I am very pleased!"
If you open your mouth and ask your subordinates to do something, then you will not be able to continue the conversation smoothly that day. At least you have to praise them first, even if it is just verbal, you have to make everyone happy, even if you are poor and happy.
The tall, yellow-faced man with a beard heard the prince's generous praise and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, you are so complimentary. I will lead the Yongwei battalion to fight in the north and south, defeat the bandits, go through fire and water, and live up to your mission!"
Before he finished speaking, the other two generals also stood up and saluted to show their sincerity.
As for their identity, Yaoji can guess 70% to 80% because they both have beards.
Yang Jinchao was afraid that his master would not be up to par with the number, so he immediately explained softly behind the prince: "This person is the commander-in-chief Huang Degong. Behind him is Sun Yingyuan on the left and Zhou Yuji on the right."
When Yaoji heard this, he roughly looked at the three of them. They came to see them. Although they were not wearing helmets and armor, they were just military commanders who looked like scholars. However, because they had been on the battlefield all year round, they inadvertently showed a little murderous intent.
Huang Degong was born with a strong back and a strong back, and he was domineering. If his face were darker, he could be brothers with Li Kui and Zhang Fei.
Zhou Yuji has a dignified appearance with a hint of scholarly temperament, which is pleasing to the eye.
Sun Yingyuan was somewhere between the two, majestic yet steady, more like a serious Forbidden Army general.
Yao Ji waved his hand with a smile on his face, and after he sat down, he said slowly: "Well, good, I have learned from you all about your loyalty, and I am very relieved. Now our Ming Dynasty has entered a troubled year, and rebels everywhere are eager to try and defend the camp bravely. It’s a sharp sword from the imperial court, and it’s time to deliver its results. I wonder what the current strength of the entire battalion is?”
The scapegoat has built this unit as a direct lineage ace. Even when internal funds are tight, all requests for the Yongwei Battalion will be complied with.
