The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Behind his **** are Li Ke, who looks like a gray fox, and Fang Jun, a sturdy black blind man.

Behind them, the soldiers of the Forbidden Sergeant were carrying the heavy wooden box towards this side.

Zhao Kun simply walked toward this side head-on.

It was heard that Cheng Chubi had already come up with compressed dry food and brought it to the emperor for comment.

Zhao Kun didn't rush to neglect, he quickly turned around and ran into the Ganlu Hall, reporting the good news to the Emperor Datang who was dealing with official duties.

"So fast?" Li Shimin couldn't help being taken aback, put down the official document in his hand and got up.

The little effort, Cheng Chubi and others, together with the three thousand catties compressed dry food, all appeared in front of Li Shimin.

"You actually made so many?" Li Shimin leaned forward and looked at the wooden box that was opened by Cheng Chubi.

There was a neat greased paper bag inside. Cheng Chubi picked up a greased paper bag and handed it to Li Shimin.

"This thing is very easy to make, so my nephew just made a little more, so that Li Bingbu felt that there was too little, and it was not enough for the soldiers to try."

Li Shimin opened the palm-sized oil-paper bag that was no more than half an inch thick, and saw the compressed dry food exposed inside.

Li Shimin looked at it carefully, then approached his nose and smelled it. He couldn't help but wonder.

"What on earth is this made of, how does it feel that there is a milky fragrance, and it seems to have the taste of nuts..."

"Uncle has a good sense of smell. There is a certain proportion of goat milk mixed with some dried fruits, sesame seeds, etc., but the main ingredients are soybeans and wheat."

After listening to Cheng Chubi's explanation, Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at the kid and couldn't help laughing.

"Nephew Chu Bi, shouldn't you know that the raw materials of this thing are the ones that the old man rewarded you?"

Cheng Chubi happily took another piece of it, broke it in half, and handed it to Zhao Kun next to it.

"Come on, Uncle Zhao, you can taste some too, but it's best to eat it with water, otherwise it's too dry."

Li Shimin also tasted a few bites, then put it down, and at this time, Li Ji finally hurried to the Temple of Ganlu.

Looking at the three thousand kilograms of compressed dry food placed in the Ganlu Temple, I was also surprised, and asked Cheng Chubi carefully.

After hearing Cheng Chubi's explanation, such a piece of dry food weighing half a catty was enough for ordinary soldiers to consume for half a day.

Li Ji couldn't help but took a piece and tasted it.

And Cheng Chubi went on to explain the portability of the dry food eloquently.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Li Ji, who felt his throat became dry, quickly poured his tea and looked at Li Shimin on the side.

And Li Shimin listened to Cheng Chubi's explanation that he made the ingredients used in the compressed dry food.

I am afraid that the raw materials consumed by 30 kilograms of compressed dry food are enough to buy 100 kilograms of millet.

But the problem is that if Cheng Saburo made compressed dry food, one catty could fully meet the energy consumption of a day of Tang Dynasty soldiers.

However, Xiaomi needs almost two and a half catties, so it can only carry ten days of rations.

That is, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who carried almost 25 catties of rations.

It is equivalent to carrying rations for twenty-five days. If you add five catties, you don’t need any supplies for one month.

Not only has it greatly alleviated the difficulties of Datang's logistics and transportation, but it has also improved the operational efficiency of the army.

Li Ji also saw His Majesty's expression, took a step forward, and whispered towards Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to take these compressed dry food and give them a try.

See if it is really as resistant to hunger as Cheng Saburo said, and it can also give the soldiers the strength to march and fight. "

"If it is really feasible, a batch can be trial-produced in case of emergencies."

"Especially if my Datang Wuben needs to rush long distances and penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland, if we can have such rations, we can solve many difficulties."

Hearing what Li Ji said, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded deeply.

"Since Li Qing, you have said this, then take it and let the soldiers have a try according to your words..."

Standing on the side, Cheng Chubi heard the discussion between the two elders and couldn't help but interject.

"My nephew feels that if Uncle Li Ji wants to test, the final test is a group test."

Li Ji, who heard Cheng Chubi whispering around him, was worried about his half-year salary and flew away, suddenly unhappy.

"It seems that Nephew Chu Bixian has his own ideas, right? Come on, tell the old man well."

Cheng Chubi saw Li Ji's gaze, but he didn't bother to care about this elder.

After all, he will soon become a winner, there is no need to care about the unlucky ghost who is about to lose.

"No, no, my nephew means that you can divide the pilots into two groups, and one group will still distribute rations according to the past rations."

"The other group uses this compressed dry food as military rations. In this way, it is easier to compare the results."

Although Li Ji was upset, after hearing Cheng Chubi's advice, he slapped Cheng Chubi's shoulder heavily.

"Okay, you kid, this is a good way, what does your Majesty think?"

Li Shimin saw Cheng Chubi with a black line on his shoulder rubbing his shoulders with a grin, and he almost made a noise~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Forget it, too lazy to pay attention to their small movements underneath, Li Shimin stroked his long beard and nodded. .

"Since you think Cheng Saburo's suggestion is good, so be it."

As for the gambling agreement between the two people, it is natural to wait until the experiment has a result before the outcome can be determined.

In the early morning, it was the early morning again. The officials were walking towards the Hall of Two Instruments. An official approached a colleague he knew well.

"Xiongtai, yesterday my wife went to your house to visit his wife and said that the Zhenguan furnace was already in use in your house."

"It turned out to be a virtuous brother, that's right, I just pulled it back the day before yesterday, you know, it's not good inside.

So I heard that burning peat in the Zhenguan furnace was much stronger than using wood charcoal for heating, so Liu asked his servants to order the goods. "

"In the old days, if the house was heated inside, the charcoal consumed would cost tens of kilograms a day, and it was not warm yet."

"Since I used the Zhenguan furnace, the whole house is warm like spring, and there is no smell at all, it is really comfortable."

"Yes, Gu also started to complain after hearing his wife returned to the house, saying that the house was not warm at all.

It's like Xiongtai's mansion, burning the Zhenguan furnace, the whole person is warm, and there is no peculiar smell. "

"So I just wanted to ask Xiongtai, which store did I make the order at? I'll go and book a few when I'm free later..."

Several officials not far away, the subject they discussed was also the Zhenguan furnace that burned peat.

With the newspaper's publicity and promotion of iron stoves, almost immediately, the blacksmith shops in and around Chang'an City, as well as in the surrounding states and counties, almost went crazy...
