Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"The locust staple food disaster relief project!"

Chapter 584 It is a blessing for the world to have the King of Chu! (first update)

This is indeed the biggest project ever.

Not only has the largest number of participants, but almost everyone in Datang has to become a long-term customer. There is simply no bigger market than this!

In the sound of shock and astonishment, Tang Jian came out and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this minister has a question to ask."

Li You nodded and motioned for him to speak directly.

Tang Jian asked: "Although the imperial court has hoarded many locust corpses, how can those locust corpses be preserved for a long time? How can they be eaten with the rest of the grain? Is there any standard for this?"

"And if people from the government are used to handle this matter, it is easy to have confusion in management between different types of food such as chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables, and storage and transportation are both big problems, consuming too many manpower. …”

After the rest of the ministers heard the words, they gradually recovered from their shock.

That's right, Li You's locust staple food disaster relief project, although it sounds very good, but the actual analysis shows that there are still many problems in the details that need to be solved urgently.

"Good question," Li You smiled, "but this king has already considered these problems, and it can be solved by 450 in one method."

"One way to solve all problems?"

All the officials and officials widened their eyes, is there such a universal method?

"It's actually very simple, just hand over the food and locusts to the imperial court for unified handling, and that's it."

Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Li You continued to explain: "What is unified processing? That is, the court uniformly mixed different types of grains with locusts according to a specific formula, then dried them and ground them into powder, and then kept them tightly and concurrently. everywhere."

"After people from all over the world buy these staple foods with food stamps, they can be brewed with water and eaten. If you use more water, it will become soup, and if you use less water, it will become paste. There are various ways to eat it."

Duan Lun's expression changed when he heard the words: "If it is dried, it can indeed greatly increase the storage time! Whether it is chicken, duck, fish or vegetable locusts, it is basically suitable for this, and it can be greatly improved after grinding into powder. It saves transportation space and indirectly saves manpower and material resources!”

Air-drying has been a common way to increase storage time since ancient times, and even modern times are no exception. The vegetable bag in instant noodles is the product of this principle.

However, if the original grain is transported, not only does it need to be transported by category, but there will inevitably be gaps between each piece of grain, which greatly wastes transportation space and human and material resources.

But as long as it is ground into powder, there is no such problem at all, and you can even shoot it a little more tightly and turn it into something like a cube, and then add water and dissolve it!

"Sir Duan is right," Li You nodded and said, "Besides, if all the grains, including the locusts, are ground into powder, then it only needs to be ground according to the proportion of the formula, and then all are broken up and mixed. That’s it, I will name it the staple food powder.”

"In this way, only staple food powder needs to be transported in each place, and there will be no management confusion and disputes between food matching. How to mix and eat is not a matter for the government and the common people to worry about, because the staple food powder is all It's in a ready state!"

Li You, as a super expert who can be called the God of Cooking, naturally has a deep research on food nutrition, so with his hands and feet, he can easily create a formula that contains the nutrients that an adult normally needs every day!

Of course, it is also easy to match formulas suitable for children and the elderly. That is to say, during this great famine, maybe Li You can make the common people not only will not be hungry, but also be able to live a healthy life!

The rest of the civil servants and generals were also very excited when they heard Li You's explanation.

In all aspects, this matter has been thoroughly considered by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and even the discussion with the court is almost no longer necessary - it is the familiar feeling of His Royal Highness when he was in power, that is the taste!

No matter how you look at it, it feels like it's done!

Think about it carefully, the rest of the food is just to make up for the lack of "nutrition" that His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, and the total amount required is very small, so it means that only a small amount of food is needed to match a lot of locusts. !

In this way, the food plays a greater role than eating directly, and it is possible to increase the total amount of food tenfold in the end!

This is also why Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were so shocked after hearing it that day, they felt that this was the best disaster relief method in history, and they also felt that the Tang Dynasty was saved.

And Li Shimin heard a more detailed explanation today than that day, and smiled for the first time during this catastrophe.

"It is a blessing for the world to have the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty! According to Yang Jie, this main grain powder should have been produced now, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Have a taste?"

Originally, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin did not need to eat the staple food powder for disaster relief, but after all, as a dignified emperor, he still needs to do the proper attitude, and what he wants is to suffer with the people.

You want to eat the staple food powder, so I will eat it too!

But... I can't just eat it alone, I have to drag the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty into the water.

"This... as your Majesty wishes."

The civil and military officials looked at each other, thinking that the emperor has started again, but to be honest, they are also very curious, and after the experience of the last locust feast, they have no psychological shadow about eating insects.

In that case, eat it!

……

After the court, the officials rushed to eat the staple food powder in twos and threes.

Obviously, no one wants to eat lunch today, just go and eat the staple food powder.

"Although it sounds like a good thing, it is estimated that the taste will not be flattering... After all, it is used for disaster relief, how can it be delicious?"

This is the common thought of many people. It is good to eat something in the Great Famine. Do you expect it to be as delicious as the chef's cooking? .

Chapter 585 The Great Famine Can Eat Well (Second)

And logically, that should be the case.

Haven't heard of any disaster relief food or emergency food that tastes good.

In their imagination, the main food powder may have a dry and astringent taste, and after adding water, it also has a Chinese medicine feeling that is difficult to swallow. After all, it is quite similar to Chinese medicine in terms of form.

But this time it's hard to eat, it's hard to eat, anyway, it's only once, and they recognize it-.

And it just happened to be able to connect with the common people heart to heart, and finally the common people can feel how they will feel in the future.

"Welcome everyone."
