Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

But while thanking for his gratitude, he also asked for a gift, that is, in order to cultivate potatoes, he needs to live in Yang Family Village, and he may not be able to Attending the Imperial court without a major event. .

For this, Emperor Yingzong was in a good mood, and naturally one after another was approved. However, it’s really unnecessary to go to Attending the Imperial court if one of the officials from the Fifth Rank disappeared. As for living outside of the capital, if you like it, it’s up to him to go.

This is also when Yang Chendong is preparing for the future layout. After getting the Imperial Edict, others will not be able to urge him to move into the capital. In this way, he will have major autonomy in safety. To put it bluntly, it is With more protection.

Fish leaping over the dragon gate, Yang Chendong almost accomplished things that others could not accomplish for many years almost instantly. When he stood up, he heard waves of congratulations around him.

The same cup one fist in the other hand expressed gratitude to the colleagues, and then said with a big smile: “Now that everyone is here today, open your stomach and taste the delicious potatoes. The small official has arranged for the cook to make a lot of styles.”

“Okay.” Everyone is very happy to enjoy such a yield of potatoes. This is a great thing for the country and the people. And it has nothing to do with anyone’s interests, so naturally they all have fun together. But there are also some savvy officials thinking about how to make friends with Yang Chendong, and then get more seeds and return to their manor to cultivate them. In this way, they don’t have to think about buying food with money in the future.

Officials are playing Xiao Jiujiu. The High Official Wang Zuo of the Ministry of Households has long been insightful, and first proposed to His Imperial Majesty that the seeds must be distributed reasonably, otherwise once this thing spreads to Foreign Domain, I am afraid that the enemy will grow stronger, thereby threatening the safety of Great Ming.

This is the old man. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi’s eight major Shanxi merchants transported large quantities of weapons and grain to Liaodong and sold them to Jian slaves, which made them grow stronger, and eventually caused Great Ming to spend huge amounts of military resources every year, resulting in the emptiness of State Treasury. , Had to feed from the people, which caused the peasant uprising to become more and more prosperous, which disintegrated Great Ming from the inside and created opportunities for Jian slaves to enter the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, potatoes have such a high yield. If the seeds are circulated, once they get it, they can recruit more sergeants with enough food. In this way, the bigger they are At the same time, the threat to Great Ming is naturally increasing.

Emperor Yingzong is young and has little experience, but he still knows the importance of potatoes, so he looked towards Wang Zuo and asked: “What can King Minister do?”

” His Imperial Majesty, there is no way to completely eliminate it. I asked Lord Herald Yang just now that the planting of potatoes is very convenient. Just wait for the potatoes to mature and rise to the germ. You can get a lot of fruit in the coming year. All the potatoes do not go out, otherwise, they will inevitably be acquired by others. And such good things should also be grown nationwide. Only when they are widely used can more people benefit.” Wang Zuo shook his head. There is no such thing as a thousand-day defense against thieves, and even if it is defense, you have to be able to prevent it first.

“en?” Originally thought, after Wang Zuo said so much, there was a good way. It sounded like there was really no way to solve it, and his face turned ugly and asked, “Even so, what did Minister Wang say?”

Wang Zuo hesitated for a while, he knew he was next What he said may offend some people, but thinking that Great Ming’s prosperity will last forever, it seems that he can only offend. This way: “His Imperial Majesty, the minister’s meaning is to ask you to make a request. Envoy of any country must check whether it is taking potatoes before leaving the border. Once found, all Emissary will be detained and taken for the crime of spy. Whenever I find someone who sells potatoes to my people out of the country, he will be severely punished, and he will…strain the Jiu Clan.”

When talking about the Jiu Clan, Wang Zuo’s heart also jumped. He knew that. Some are too harsh and the punishment is too heavy. However, considering the impact this thing can bring, he still thinks that such punishment is not excessive. A country who has no people in the eyes of the country can no longer be called a person, so no punishment can be overstated.

Wang Zuo was shocked when he said it, and Emperor Yingzong’s eyes suddenly widened when he heard it. But it only recovered in a flash. Great Ming is the Great Ming of Zhu Family. If the country is broken, maybe the official can continue to be an official after defecting, but he really can’t be the emperor anyway. Therefore, once the potatoes are spread, the biggest loss is yourself. Is there anything cruel he can’t do?

“Okay, I see. After I return to the palace on my behalf, I will draw up an decree and summon the world.” Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen made the decision very decisively.

“His Imperial Majesty Enlightened Sovereign.” After Wang Zuo reported this incident, he immediately felt his body loosened, and his whole body’s strength in this brief moment seemed to be drawn out most of the time.

“Potato ribs are ready!” Accompanied by Yang Chendong’s call, the pot was full of aromas, and it was spread three miles, which attracted the numerous officials who had just harvested the potatoes to be like gluttons. Generally surrounded.

Wash the ribs and potatoes well. Put the ribs in the pot, put the cooking wine, and boil over high heat. Remove the cooked ribs and drain them for later use. Put oil, pepper, etc. in the pot, stir-fry the ribs, add light soy sauce and other toned seasoning. Then press in the pot, then add the potatoes and stir fry, and finally put the MSG out of the pot.

“The hot and sour onion and potato shreds are ready!”

The potatoes are shredded and soaked in water, the onion is peeled, washed and shredded, the green and red peppers are washed and shredded; Saute the chives, ginger, garlic and dried chili in oil; pour shredded potatoes and stir fry for a while, add a little water, then pour the shredded onions and stir-fry evenly; add soy sauce, sugar, and appropriate amount of salt Stir fry with pepper. Pour in balsamic vinegar and stir-fry evenly, then add sesame oil and stir-fry to serve.

After the two potato dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, are baked, then there are chopped pepper potato chips, dry stir-fried potato chips, hot and sour potato shreds, eggplant stewed potatoes, braised potato chicken nuggets, rice potato cakes, fragrant Spicy Griddle Potato Chips, Honey (Juicy) Potatoes, Scallion Potatoes, Burnt Potatoes, Crispy Potatoes, Pork Mushrooms, etc.

In addition, the whole potatoes can be steamed to satisfy their hunger, and even for many people who taste potatoes for the first time, they feel it is a kind of delicious.

A potato has made dozens of nearly 20 kinds of dishes, which provokes everyone’s gorge oneself and also praises it loudly. In addition, the craftsmanship of the chef Yi Qiu’er was originally good and the MSG produced by Yang Chendong (only available in Jianning, not spread to Jingshi), etc., made everyone’s mouth full of oil.

Even Emperor Yingzong ate two bowls of rice and a steamed potato with vegetables. If it weren’t for Wang Zhen, who was waiting by the side, he reminded him that he might still be able to eat a bowl. After eating so much, Emperor Yingzong also said with a happy expression: “I have some expectations about when the restaurant opened by Minister Yang will be open.”

“Go back to His Imperial Majesty, it’s coming soon. It should be almost done in one month. When the time comes His Imperial Majesty has time to give advice.” Yang Chendong hehe smiled. He didn’t grab potatoes like the ministers. For him, he ate this thing. Several decades have long lost the earliest freshness. Therefore, he has been acting as a waiter, watching which plate is empty on the open-air table, and instructing people to serve dishes, which is very busy.

The answer to Emperor Yingzong’s words is not perfunctory. The restaurant had asked Yang Hai to choose a location long before he came, and even the new manager was found. It was his cousin Yang Fu.

Yang Fu worked very happily with Yang Chendong when he was in Jianing Residence and made a lot of money. Seeing that Sixth Young Master was about to go to the capital, he was moved to discuss with him. Yang Chendong was thinking that who would be the most suitable restaurant to run a restaurant. He watched Yang Fu jump out, and immediately agreed and hired Yang Fu to manage it with 10% of the money.

Yang Fu knows that Jingshi is no better than Jianning, and the complexity of personnel relations there is far from being understood by a businessman like him. With the banner of Sixth Cousin, doing some things will be easier. There were a lot of cadres who said 10%, and they accepted the agreement right away and came to the capital with the drawing drawn by Yang Chendong.

Only when he came to the capital and saw the design drawings, Yang Fu knew what kind of great generosity his Sixth Cousin has. The investment of Early-Stage alone reached 50,000 taels. The reimbursement for this item is 100,000 taels again. What is this to be built? Wouldn’t it be possible to build a small Imperial Palace?

Yang Fu, of course, didn’t understand it. Only when the things he needed entered the restaurant one by one, he knew how unusual and inexperienced he was before, and only then did he know his 10% share value. how much is it.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. At this time, he knew that his Four Seas Restaurant in Jianing Residence was really as simple as a child’s house.

Let’s not mention the restaurant, but just by the side of the ground, Emperor Yingzong listened to Yang Chendong’s invitation and thought that this small requirement should be met for others to make such a great achievement, immediately nodded and said: “Okay, when the time comes, if there is time, I will go and see it.”

Just say these words, the other officials will naturally have an idea. In the future, don’t bother with Yang Family restaurant. If it doesn’t, it will offend His Imperial Majesty.

Yang Chendong was still busy, and he asked everyone to take away some of the potatoes that had been dug up when they left, and went back to give his family a taste. This was naturally applauded by all the officials.

Emperor Yingzong finished eating first, and was ready to go back, so he called Yang Chendong and said: “Yang Minister, I will leave an Embroidered Uniform Guard and the East Factory here to help you guard those who haven’t Harvested potatoes.”

“Thanks to His Imperial Majesty.” Yang Chendong naturally knew that now that the potatoes were exposed, it was no longer his own business, so he had already managed this mentality. ready.

“Very good.” Very satisfied with Yang Chendong’s attitude, Emperor Yingzong said again, “As for how many potato seeds are left, and how to distribute them, I will leave you to discuss with you. Yes. Now, what’s the name of your restaurant?”

“Go back to His Imperial Majesty, Fairy Abode!” When Yang Chendong answered this question, he looked confident.
