The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2423: Dare to oppose my Hedong Liu clan and Taiyuan Wang clan? …

The more than ten strong men around the carriage began to shout loudly and drive away the people. At this time, not only Li Ke, but also several discerning people also recognized that it was the driver of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Although he was unwilling to be in the front row, he was also driven away by Wang as a small person.

But at most, he dared to complain in a low voice and stepped back angrily. Soon, a servant of the Wang family noticed Shengdou Xiaomin* Cheng and Shengdou Xiaomin* Li who were standing still.

"You two, don't get out of the way, you're blocking my eldest lady's car." Behind his **** were Li Ke, who looked like a gray fox, and Fang Jun, another sturdy black-blind man.

Behind them, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard came towards this side with a heavy wooden box.

Zhao Kun simply walked towards this side.

It was heard that Cheng Chubi had already produced compressed dry food, and he brought it here for the emperor to judge.

Zhao Kun did not rush to neglect, and quickly turned around and ran into the Ganlu Palace to report the good news to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang who was handling official business.

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

In a small amount of time, Cheng Chubi and the others, together with the three thousand catties of compressed dry food, all appeared in front of Li Shimin's eyes.

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

Inside was a neatly packed oil-paper bag, Cheng Chubi picked up an oil-paper bag and handed it to Li Shimin.

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

Li Shimin opened the palm-sized oil-paper bag with a thickness of only about half an inch, and saw the compressed dry food inside.

Li Shimin first looked at it carefully, then sniffed it close to his nose, and couldn't help but wonder.

"What is this made of, how does it feel like it smells like milk, and it seems to smell like nuts..."

"Uncle has a good sense of smell. There is a certain proportion of goat's milk mixed with it, and 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 glanced at the kid and couldn't help but laugh.

"Nephew Chubi, shouldn't the raw materials for this thing be the ones that the old man gave you?"

Cheng Chubi laughed happily, picked up another piece, broke it in half, and handed it to Zhao Kun next to him.

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

Li Shimin also took a few bites and put it down. At this time, Li Ji finally hurried to the Ganlu Palace.

Looking at the 3,000 catties of compressed dry food placed in the Ganlu Palace, he was also surprised and asked Cheng Chubi carefully.

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

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

Cheng Chubi continued to explain the portability of this dry food in a eloquent manner.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Li Ji, who felt his throat dry out, quickly took a sip of tea and looked at Li Shimin, who was beside him.

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

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

But the problem is that if Cheng Sanlang produced the compressed dry food, one kilogram can fully satisfy the energy consumption of a Tang soldier for a day.

However, millet needs about two and a half catties. As a result, it can only carry ten days of rations.

That is to say, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were carrying about twenty-five catties of rations.

It is equivalent to carrying twenty-five days of rations. If you add five kilograms, then you will not need any supplies for a month.

Not only has it greatly eased the difficulty of transporting baggage in Datang's logistics, but it has also improved the operational efficiency of the army.

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

"Your Majesty, I would like to use these compressed dry rations to give the soldiers a try.

Let's see if it is really as resistant to hunger as Cheng Sablang said, and it can also give the soldiers the strength to march to fight. "

"If it's really feasible, you can also try to make a batch in case of emergency."

"Especially if I, Tang Wuben, need to make a long-distance attack and go deep into the enemy's hinterland, if I can have such rations, I can solve many difficulties."

Hearing Li Ji's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.

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

Cheng Chubi, who was standing on the side, heard the discussion between the two elders and couldn't help but interrupted.

"My little nephew thinks that if Uncle Li Ji wants to experiment, it's a group experiment in the end."

Hearing Cheng Chubi chattering beside him, Li Ji, who was worried that his half-year salary was going to fly, was suddenly unhappy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"It seems that nephew Chubi has his own ideas, right? Come, tell the old man well."

Cheng Chubi saw Li Ji's slanted gaze, but he was too lazy to care about this elder.

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

"No, no, what my nephew means is that we can divide the test soldiers into two groups, and one group will still receive rations according to the past rations."

"The other group used this compressed dry ration as military ration, so it was easier to compare the results."

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

"Okay, you boy, this is a good solution, what does your Majesty think?"

Li Shimin almost laughed when he saw Cheng Chubi, who had a black face, grinning and rubbing his shoulders.

Forget it, too lazy to pay attention to their little actions underneath, Li Shimin stroked his long beard and nodded.

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

As for the bet between the two, it is natural to wait for the results of the experiment to determine the winner.

Early in the morning, it was early morning again, and the officials were walking towards the Liangyi Hall, and an official approached a colleague who was familiar with each other.

"Brother-in-law, yesterday my wife went to your house to visit Mrs.-in-law and said that your house has already used the Zhenguan stove."

"It turned out to be Brother Xian, that's right, he was pulled back only the day before yesterday, and you know that the cheap one is not in good health.

So after hearing that peat charcoal in the Zhenguan furnace is much stronger than charcoal for heating, Liu asked his servants to order the goods. "

"In the past, if the house was heated, the charcoal consumed would have to be ten pounds a day, and it was still not warm."

"Since I used the Zhenguan stove, the whole house has been as warm as spring, and there is no smell at all. It is really comfortable."
