Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 115 Tool Man Zhu Zhanji! ! !

"It's just so big, it's not enough to stew in a pot, so you're ashamed to say."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "No, I like to drink soup. I heard that dog meat stew soup is the most nourishing. I haven't tasted it yet!"

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyelids when he heard the two girls singing together, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll raise a dog together, and it's become your two girls' rations."

Seeing her husband's gloomy expression, Mrs. Zhang laughed a little and said, "Then you have to gain some weight, otherwise we are a big family, and just such a dog may not be enough for us!"

Zhu Gaochi felt that if Zhang Shi continued to talk, he probably had to think about a posthumous title tonight for the Baimaoge University Bachelor who he had just been teased.

He said to his son: "It's not too early for you to come back. It just so happened that your mother asked the people in the dining room to get some food. I'll let them prepare the food. Let's eat together."

Zhu Zhanji thought that he had run a lot today and hadn't eaten anything, so he nodded.

The food here was prepared quickly, and it didn't take long for Zhu Gaochi to order, and a table of sumptuous meals was ready.

Recently, the Prince's Mansion has a lot more money, and the expenses of food, drink and clothing have also increased a lot.

In addition, Zhu Gaochi is actually better at this, although he won't be extravagant and wasteful when he has money.

But there is no such thing as pedantic people who don’t spend money when they have it, but spend it anyway.

Zhu Zhanji agrees with this point, just like now, there are three people in the family, although the food is not enough to have a Manchu banquet or something, but at least the meat and vegetables that should be there are quite complete, and all kinds of dishes are also very exquisite.

Eating without talking, sleeping without talking, after the meal, it's time for a formal exchange.

Zhu Gaochi put down his chopsticks, and a serving maid handed him warm water for rinsing his mouth.

After wiping his mouth and rinsing his mouth, Mrs. Zhang and Zhu Zhanji also completed their actions almost simultaneously.

Seeing the leftovers on the table, Zhu Gaochi glanced at his son and said, "By the way, you have been building that greenhouse for a long time, and if you count the time, it should be time to pick some of the long ones, right? Have you ever heard of people below?" report?"

"It should be soon!"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard that Changsheng, who was in charge of the greenhouse in the palace, came to report the situation to me. It is said that the cucumbers have begun to bloom. I haven't noticed them these days, but I think some vegetables should be able to be picked. gone."

Changsheng was the eunuch arranged by Zhu Di for Zhu Zhanji. His status was not low, and he was reliable and usable. Zhu Zhanji asked him to take care of the greenhouse.

Zhu Gaochi nodded first, and then said: "You should pay more attention to this matter. After all, there are said to be nearly [-] greenhouses outside the city. Although the number of refugees has not increased much, there are still many now. These greenhouses It is a matter of whether these refugees can return to normal life next year, and they must not be careless, something went wrong."

"Also, if the vegetables grown in the greenhouse come out, you'd better send some to your grandpa. The cultivated land in the north is scarce, and due to the weather, the further north you go, the harder it is to eat. Fresh vegetables, I heard from Ma Bao and the imperial physician in the palace that if a person can’t eat vegetables for a long time, his body will be overwhelmed. Your grandfather is very old now, and he doesn’t know how to take care of his body. You, a grandson, can't forget."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Zhanji was a little distracted.

He is not too surprised that people in this era can know that people cannot live without vegetables for a long time.

Perhaps it is difficult for people of this era to explain the relationship between vitamin C and scurvy.

But it can’t stand the experience of generations. Many things can only be discovered after continuous research and proof. But for people in this era, they may not know the principle, but experience tells them how to do it. .

But Zhu Zhanji thought of more, as his silly father said, there is not much arable land on the grassland, even in later generations, many vegetables and grains are transported from other places.

Not to mention now, during the northern expedition of the army, the main source of vitamin C supplementation is soybeans, the bean sprouts that grow, and the water boiled from tea leaves.

However, growing bean sprouts in winter is a technical job. Even if they can grow bean sprouts, the conditions are extremely restrictive, so ordinary soldiers can't eat them at all.
And tea is a strategic-level material, which exists like medicine, and the supply cannot be too much.

Zhu Zhanji can almost imagine that there are definitely some cases of scurvy in the army of the Northern Expedition.

"son!"

"son?"

"What do you think?"

Zhu Gaochi yelled twice, seeing that Zhu Zhanji didn't respond, Zhu Gaochi immediately pushed Zhu Zhanji a little depressed.

"Nothing, just thought of something."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head, and then said: "Father, I remember when our family was still in Shuntian, when Li Jinglong's army of 50 troops came to attack, it happened that grandpa was not in Yingtian at that time, and you only had [-] troops in your hand, but you resisted I have been with Li Jinglong for a full month, and you have also experienced battles, so I have a question for you."

"Ha ha………"

Hearing his son mentioning his glorious past, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help showing a somewhat smug smile on his face, then glanced at Zhang's side and said with a smile:

"Look at this kid, how long ago did it happen, and he brought up the old things again."

While he was talking, his chubby face was full of complacency, and he said with a smile:

"If you have any questions, you can ask, but I don't guarantee that I can answer them. After all, I was trying to catch ducks on the shelves. When your great-grandfather was still there, I read some sage books on weekdays. I can't understand things like wars." At that time, Li Jinglong's army of 50 troops came to attack. In fact, I already had the will to die in my heart. Thanks to the fathers and villagers in Beiping at that time, and your emperor's grandparents who went into battle, led a group of women and elders Weak, repelled Li Jinglong's army who climbed the Lijing Gate several times, and then saved Suncheon, and even your grandfather returned with his army and defeated Li Jinglong."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi also sighed, and then looked at his fat body full of regret and said:
"Speaking of which, your father and I also have a bit of military talent. If it weren't for the fat body now, there would be no such thing as your second uncle and third uncle. It could be said that the one who is with your grandfather now is your father and me."

"Yeah, Dad, you are the best!"

Seeing Zhu Gaochi sighed and sighed, Zhu Zhanji immediately put up a thumbs up a little funny, but he didn't forget the business, so he continued to ask:
"Father, since you have also been in the army, do you know if some people in the army will become weak, anorexia, pale, bleeding teeth, or even fall out after a long time?"

"this………"

Hearing his son's question, Zhu Gaochi fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I haven't paid much attention to this, and I think there should be some, but this kind of minor illness should not be uncommon in the army, usually just drink some medicine, and then After a while, it will heal naturally."

"Is that so?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words. He estimated that there should be such things as scurvy. Even during World War II, this situation would occur in some troops.

Not to mention this era, it is difficult to transport food and salaries. It would be nice to use beans such as soybeans to grow some bean sprouts, or boil some water with tea. How could there be vegetables?
However, the army is not like the navy. It is relatively easy for the army to supplement vegetables. Even if they appear, as long as they are supplemented after the war, the impact is estimated to be small. Therefore, this kind of scurvy is regarded as a minor disease.

Seeing that his son was thinking about something again, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help showing a little curiosity on his face, and asked, "Son, I see you asked this and that, but what did you think of?"

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's question, Zhu Zhanji didn't hide anything, and said: "I'm wondering if the food eaten by ordinary soldiers in the Northern Expedition army is too simple. As you said, if a person does not eat vegetables for a long time, It’s the same if you don’t eat meat, so I thought, is it possible to make a special military ration, which contains both meat and vegetables, even if it can’t be supplied in large quantities, but occasionally used by soldiers to improve their health? A meal is also excellent, and it can also make soldiers more powerful in fighting."

"Special rations?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard Zhu Zhanji's words, he couldn't help but stunned, and said with a confused face: "But, it seems that there has been no such precedent since ancient times? At most, the army will always have some dried meat."

"Not before, doesn't mean there won't be in the future!"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said: "Besides, the soldiers are risking their lives, and we can't let them eat well and wear warm clothes. I think things like military rations are still very necessary. Not only must they be done, but they must be done extremely well. It’s good, now we are not short of money, we can definitely spend some money to encourage the folks to raise some livestock, then slaughter them, make them into military rations, and vegetables for greenhouses, and I will also take out some of them at that time, so that It will not only send the money back to the common people, but also give the frontline soldiers a good meal."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and said: "It's great that you can put your mind on the people and the soldiers, but there is no precedent for making military rations like the one you mentioned. Why don't you find someone to make a batch first and see if you can, then try again?"

Zhu Gaochi felt that it was difficult to talk about military rations, mainly because he hadn't thought of a similar precedent.

In case the military rations are produced by then, the high cost is still a trivial matter. If it cannot be used as military rations or simply cannot be eaten, it will be a waste of effort.

Zhu Zhanji also felt that what his silly father said made sense.

He was only reminded by his silly father's words before he thought about military rations. He felt that it was necessary to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, so he said the idea of ​​general rations.

But in fact, how to make military rations is not the slightest clue.

Seeing that his son was still thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said:

"You can ask your mother to ask the people from the Shangshi Bureau to study this matter tomorrow. They are usually responsible for these things, and they should have some solutions!"

Mrs. Zhang, who was whispering something to Hu Shanxiang, looked up when she heard her husband mentioning herself, and asked, "What should the people from Shangshi Bureau study?"

Seeing Mrs. Zhang asking, Zhu Gaochi said, "It's not that your son plans to get some kind of military rations. There must be vegetables and meat, so it's not that you are in charge of the affairs of the palace, so I plan to let you order it to go down." .”

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at her son: "Is there military rations with vegetables and meat?"

"Uh... that's right!"

Zhu Zhanji didn't know how to answer when he saw his old mother asking.

He only knows about military rations, but he is not a military fan of the specific situation, so why would he research it?

But after thinking about it, military rations must be nutritionally balanced and rich in energy. It seems that the description of vegetables and meat is appropriate, so I nodded and said:
"It must also be durable, and it must be convenient to eat. It is best to have special tableware or something, and you can eat it when you open it."

When Mrs. Zhang heard her son's words, she repeated them a few times, then nodded without paying attention and said, "There are quite a lot of requests, I understand, and I will let them try it tomorrow."

"Well, thank you, mother!"

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed, and immediately thanked him with a smile.

With the participation of the cook in the palace, this matter is much easier.

"Cut, no sincerity!"

Mrs. Zhang curled her lips, then glanced at Hu Shanxiang who was on the side, winked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "If you sincerely thank me as a mother, you should let your mother hold a big fat grandson earlier. In this way, Mother will be happy too."

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Sure enough, all the old women in the world are the same!

Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless when he saw the old woman who used to urge marriage and now gave birth to a baby.

I feel like I have suddenly become a tool man, the purpose of my existence is to let my old lady hold a big fat grandson!

Hu Shanxiang on the side also blushed a little at Zhang's naked hint, but looked at Zhu Zhanji with inexplicable anticipation in his eyes.

After all, he grew up in the palace, and Hu Shanxiang knew very well how important a child was to the women in the palace.

Just like the current concubines in the palace, don't look at all the women of the emperor, those who have not been favored and those who have been favored, and those who have been favored without children and those with children are completely different concepts.

Some concubines who had been forgotten by the emperor were even humbler than some eunuchs in the palace.

"........."

Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless by what his old mother said, and when he looked at Hu Shanxiang's little eyes that wanted to refuse but still welcome, he couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart, feeling that his good little daughter-in-law seemed to be being led astray by his old mother the rhythm.

So she stood up, intending to sneak away: "Father, mother, the child has to go back to the room first!"

Mrs. Zhang nodded to her son, then looked at Hu Shanxiang who was on the side with a smile and said, "Shanxiang, come back with your grandson, don't forget what I told you!"

"Yes, princess!"

Hu Shanxiang blushed a little, but stood up obediently, followed by saluting and leaving.

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

My old mother's obvious hint, let alone Hu Shanxiang, probably even if Sun Ruowei came, he could feel it clearly.

Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless, but he didn't say anything.

To be honest, Zhu Zhanji was still looking forward to seeing the young daughter-in-law's face of shyness and refusal.

"Grandson..."

Back to Zhu Zhanji's yard, Hu Shanxiang looked at Zhu Zhanji and hesitated to speak.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and looked at Hu Shanxiang, who had a blushing face. He found that this little daughter-in-law was quite shy.

He wanted to tease him, but suddenly thought that there was another Sun Ruowei waiting for him in the yard, so he immediately dismissed the idea, saying:

"Come with me, I'll take you to meet someone!"
