Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The reason why Xiao Letian came to see Ceng Guofan was mainly to discuss the details of the bond issue. For a major matter of strategic cooperation, relying on the negotiation of Hu Xueyan and the old shopkeeper was definitely not high enough.

In addition, Xiao Letian and Ceng Guofan represented the two main military forces in East Asia: one was in the south of the river, the other was in the east of the Dragon plate, so their cooperation would definitely affect the entire East Asia.

But these things could not be said in front of Zai Chun, and could only be discussed with him. For example, the newest Soldier rations that Xiao Letian had brought out.

"When I came to see the General this time, I wanted to talk about the distribution of the bond proceeds, and I also wanted to promote a few new things. They are all good things that are most helpful to Zuo Jigao!"

What Xiao Letian took out were three treasures: canned food, compressed biscuits and milk candy. Holding them in his hands, Ceng Guoquan asked with surprise, "Isn't this a tin canned food that was produced in the United States? I've eaten before, and the taste is neither good nor bad. It's definitely okay if someone eats it just because it's oily and full of energy … You want to give this to Zuo Jigao? "

"That's right, Lord Zuo's western expedition, we're all travelling through the desert, the desert, the vast and desolate ocean." That's right, Lord Zuo's western expedition, we're all traveling through the desert, the desert, the vast and desolate seas.

"The military provisions from the Great Qing Dynasty are still the same as before. From the Central Plains to Gan Shan and the others, they have to prepare food on the spot and then use ox-carts to move it up, delivering one catty of food. On the way, the commoners have to eat 10 catties of food.

Xiao Letian became angrier the more he spoke. In the ancient times, there were no excellent antiseptic techniques, but in order to prevent mildew from happening, army rations were all delivered with shells of grains. Rice, wheat, millet, and millet. All of them were transported to the front line with shells, fearing that there would be some sort of bad luck.

However, the gap between these kinds of grains with shells was very large. Hiding them in the barns would allow for ventilation and moisture protection, but long-distance transportation was a waste, resulting in a reduction in the efficiency of supplies and supplies.

As a Transcender, if he couldn't solve this problem, then wouldn't he be utterly humiliated? Even if Xiao Letian wasn't a professional, he knew that the future generations of Soldier rations had two important points.

Ryukyu's canned food processing had already been in production before it reached adulthood. As long as the raw materials needed to import from the United States were sufficient, the assembly line could produce 2,000 canned food per day. Furthermore, the production capacity would continue to increase as the skilled workers increased.

The beef, lunch meat and meat of the future generations, that was what China needed the most, the best chef. CIA's reward of one thousand silver coins was placed on the table, "Whoever develops the most delicious recipe for the canned meat, the money will be his!"

In half a month's time, the six top-notch chefs had already taken out the six types of meat canned recipe. Xiao Letian had even tasted it before, and the taste was really not ordinary.

Compressed biscuits are easy to deal with. In fact, the main process can be copied from the future generation of local fried noodles with oil. In order to improve nutrition, people even grind sesame seeds, peanuts, and various kinds of beans and then add the flour to fry with butter.

Originally, Xiao Letian wanted to use the big fat to stir-fry them, but thinking about how sensitive it was to the issue of the Witch Cooperation Association's people, he could only choose butter or imported butter from Europe and the United States.

With the heavy oil, add all kinds of soy flour and then add in the sugar produced by Ryukyu, a portion of the high-calorie fried noodles was considered done.

Under the drive of the steam engine, the loose fried noodles were then poured into the film press. After the impact of the cast iron piece, they became pieces of delicate compressed biscuits, each containing about 75 grams.

Ceng Guofan opened up a piece of oil paper containing a compressed biscuit, and discovered that the biscuit was actually wrapped in a layer of salt. Zai Chun saw that the marshal was confused, "The salt is used for embalming, and the compressed biscuit originally does not have much water in it.

Xiao Letian laughed, "Half a year is in a humid environment like Jiangnan. If we can transport it to a dry place in the Western Regions, I think a year and a half wouldn't be a problem!"

"Hiss …" The two old men sucked in a breath of cold air. A year and a half of lifespan, and a small amount was enough for a soldier to eat? With this, Zuo Zongtang would be like a tiger with wings.

"Alright, alright, alright. From now on, the pressure on the army's supplies will be much less. Let's focus all our energy on the Arms and ammunition. The remaining silver will go to the ocean …" Men, bring these compressed biscuits to the military camp. Find ten men and follow the instructions written on the paper to see if they are so godly! "

"This candy isn't for the soldiers to satisfy their craving. It's also a very important food supply, because the most easily absorbed nutrition for the human body is the sugar …"

"Everyone might feel the same way. When you're hungry, you need to slowly digest the steamed bun to gain strength, but sugar is different. When your body is weak from hunger and your limbs are numb, eating a piece of sugar can instantly relieve your hunger and help you recover your strength …"

"Imagine, both sides battled bitterly, fighting from morning till evening, and all the soldiers were exhausted after a day of fighting. At this moment, one of our soldiers took out a big candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, restoring his physical strength in less than half a minute …"

They both laughed so hard that their beards jumped, "There's no need to inspect the canned food and milk candy. We believe what you said, let's test your compressed biscuits later. If they're really that hungry, I can give you an order on the spot for Zuo Jigao …"

"However, I am also puzzled. If you have such a good item, why don't you give it to the military directly?" Jiu Shuai asked.

"Haha …" Xiao Letian laughed bitterly: "Military? With just the efficiency of the six divisions, once Zuo Jigao eats my compressed military rations, the battle would probably be over. Furthermore, do you think the imperial government would be willing to see me in contact with the Great Qing Empire's generals? "

Everyone thought that it made sense, Xiao Letian coming to the south of the river to look around was a top secret, if the imperial government found out that Xiao Letian had come to see Ceng Guofan, Ci Xi and the other old school members would immediately go crazy.

"Let's not talk about the imperial government for now. Come, come, let's drink!" Jiu Shuai interrupted the awkwardness with a cup in hand and then made way for the little Emperor and Xiao Letian.

"Come to the Jinling, you must eat duck, especially a salty duck. Your Majesty, you must taste it …" "Please, please!"

Zai Chun picked up a salted duck with his chopsticks, looked like he wanted to eat it, and then put it down. He looked at Ceng Guofan suddenly and coldly and said: "Great Marshal Zeng, how many people do we want to kill?"
