Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 746 Er Gouzi's Enchanting Life

After Chen Ergou finished speaking, he said in a loud voice: "Dayang has made me Chen Hu. In the future, Daming will go to the West three times and four times to the West. If there is room for me, Chen Hu, how dare I not try my best, Your Highness." Why not? Brothers are willing to follow Ambassador Xu and Marquis Shouning. How happy it is for so many of us to travel around in the sea and earn a lot of money to support our wives and children. Let them live a good life, as long as Ambassador Xu and Shou Ninghou call, the villain will make a decision in the future."

  He roared, and all the sailors and sailors were also agitated, and they all said: "Go to the sea."

Xu Jing's eyes were red when he heard this, and he was full of emotions. These people get along with him day and night on the boat. He can call everyone by name. Next time he goes to sea, there will be so many familiar faces around him. Lucky thing.

  Zhang Heling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  He was afraid of these damned bastards, took my money, and lived happily ever after. Isn't this...isn't this a scam? After eating my Zhang Heling's, why don't you spit it out?

  Now everyone is excited and their emotions are out of control.

Zhu Houzhao was also heartbroken when he heard it, and couldn't help but patted Chen Ergou on the shoulder and said, "It's very good, I appreciate it very much, in order to commend your achievements, I decided to send that little Zhu Xiucai to you." Bad guy, changed to Dinghai Fubo Chen Ergou, Chen Ergou, you are a good guy, even I am not as good as you."

   "Your Highness..." Chen Ergou was very excited. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and muttered: "Your Highness, I don't know if I should say something or not."

  At this time, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and gave Fang Jifan a fierce look with murderous eyes.

  Fang Jifan looked indifferent.

  This little Zhu Xiu is the bad guy... I just mentioned it casually, who knows Xu Jing made the decision, who is to blame, Fang Jifan is very straightforward, or Xu Jing can't take jokes?

   If you really want to investigate, then kill Xu Jing and make amends.

Zhu Houzhao said: "What Daming lacks is you people. I don't like **** loyalty, etiquette and shame. I say it a hundred times, but it's not as useful as having the courage to go to sea. Er Gouzi, I know you want to talk about something. Thank you, but you don’t need to say it. I know in my heart that you... are no longer the second dog of your mother, wife and children. From then on, you are the second dog of the Zhen Guofu, and you are the second dog of countless sailors and sailors. Dog, your name will be spread throughout the universe, Er Gouzi, go to sea, your mother and your wife and children, I will take care of you, whoever dares to bully them will bully me, or hit Lao Fang in the face , Ben Gong and Lao Fang will definitely vent their anger on you and tear them into thousands of pieces. There is no shortage of merchants, scribes, or farmers in this world. What is lacking is people like you, Er Gouzi. Tens of thousands of Ergouzi, our Ming Dynasty can shine for thousands of years. Well, you don’t need to say anything, I understand everything!"

   Zhu Houzhao's words brought tears to countless sailors.

  This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With his words, even if the brothers work hard, it is worth it.

   What's more, there is someone with great ambitions like Ambassador Xu. The brothers are by his side, and they know what they are doing is a great cause that will shine for thousands of years. Even if they take this life, it is worth it.

There is also Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, who is so unselfish and dedicated to benefiting others. He does not take any spoils. Even on the boat, he eats rat tails every day. It is said that he eats porridge every day when he lands. The relatives of the country live a miserable life, but they disperse their wealth, so that the brothers are all rich, rich in fish and meat, and their wives and children can live a good life. Following such a person, even if it means circumcision, even if it means becoming an eunuch, it is worth it.

  Life is like this, to be favored by such people, to get their protection and appreciation, what can I ask for.

  Scholar dies for his confidant!

  Chen Ergou's face was blue and white, and he tried many times to say something.

   But speaking of this, it seems that... no matter how much I say, it will become hypocritical.

  He had no choice but to say with tears in his eyes: "His Royal Highness is so kind and virtuous, the young ones will be given this life to the Zhen Guofu. His Royal Highness told us to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire. The young ones will never frown."

  The crowd immediately said: "I will die!"

   Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath.

  He likes people like Er Gouzi, really!

  Zhu Houzhao laughed happily and said, "Today...everyone is here. I have a banquet in this palace. Let's...eat cows!"

  Zhang Heling looked sad, as if he had something on his mind, but when he heard about eating cow, he immediately became energetic, and he raised his arms in high spirits and shouted: "Eat cow!"

  After hearing this, everyone said cheerfully without hesitation, "Eat!"

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held a banquet in person. For Er Gouzi, this is definitely something that can be bragged for a lifetime.

  Everyone blushed and were extremely excited.

  Afterwards, Zhu Houzhao led the people to the dining hall of Tuntianwei. Everyone sat down, and pots of hot beef were brought up.

Zhu Houzhao then tapped the basin with a spoon, made a bang bang bang bang sound, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, I still have something to say. In order to let everyone go to sea without starving, our Mr. Wen made canned food. When you go to sea in the future, you can take the cans out and have a look."

   As he spoke, he took out a glass jar.

  In history, this can was a product of Napoleon’s period, because during the march, people found that food was easily spoiled, so Napoleon offered a huge reward, hoping that someone would solve this problem!

Finally, a chef thought of a way. He found that when all the food was placed in a boiling water pot and heated for half an hour, it was plugged tightly with a cork while it was still hot, and then reinforced with thread or sealed with wax. It can keep for a long time without deterioration, hence its name.

   According to this method, after discussing with Wen Yansheng, Fang Jifan trial-produced more than a dozen varieties of canned food.

   Among them are canned pears. Soak the pears in water, boil them, pour them into jars and seal them. Or canned beef, or eight-treasure porridge...

These cans can ensure that sailors and crews can supplement enough nutrition during the voyage, so as not to suffer from malnutrition, or lack of vitamins and fats. With this... For the sailors and crew who go to sea, Life on board was much easier.

  However, the cost of this can is naturally not low. Of course, this cost is for ordinary people, but for the rich and the fleet that can bring huge wealth, these costs are not worth mentioning.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "When you go back later, each of you will take a few cans back to taste. If you feel that the taste is not good, you can write a book to make suggestions! Er Gouzi, do you have a son? Your son Should love this!"

Chen Ergou's face was blue and white. He wanted to remind His Royal Highness many times that he was not Ergou, but Chen Hu, but when His Highness called him, he quickly swallowed what he wanted to say. In the stomach, don't live up to it!

  He said obediently: "Your Highness remembers the little ones in his heart, and the little ones are very grateful."

  Zhu Houzhao said very boldly: "Come on, raise the wine cup, let's... have a drink for Er Gouzi!"

   "Drink!" Everyone rejoiced.

  To be honest, the vast majority of people present here have never eaten beef.

   Eating beef seems to have become a status symbol.

   You can brag again.

  The taste of this meat is very good, Ergou eats it very happily, and has long forgotten the unpleasant things.

  He is a very easy-to-satisfy person. For this morsel of beef and this life, he wished to sell His Highness the Crown Prince a few more times.

   I just ate half of it, suddenly, with a click.

   Chen Ergou frowned, feeling a little pain in his mouth, and when he touched it, his teeth were a little loose!

   Immediately, he spat out the beef in his mouth, and found a steel ball from the dregs.

  He carefully held the steel ball, this... what is it?

   There are steel **** in the belly of this cow?

  Damn it... amazing!

  ………

  British Duke Zhang Mao rushed back non-stop, did not take a good rest, and rushed to the palace again.

   This journey is exhausting, he is so tired that his old bones are falling apart.

   But even if you come back, there are still many things to do, and the auspicious day is coming again.

  The work of preparation cannot be slackened for a moment. Even if there is a slight flaw in such advanced things as sacrifices, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the heavens and the ancestors.

   It is precisely because of this that His Majesty cannot easily do such things to others, which is also the main reason for entrusting such important tasks to himself.

  For example, Fang Jifan, His Majesty must trust him, but he has a brain disease, so he was naturally excluded.

  How can such careless people sacrifice to their ancestors?

   Zhang Mao thought so indignantly.

  But suddenly thought again, why did I not have a brain disease, why was I born so healthy?

  He sighed again in his heart, as soon as he returned to the Ministry of Rites to report, someone came from the palace and invited him into the palace.

  Zhang Mao didn't dare to neglect, and said in his heart, is there any new sacrifice?

   When they arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, they saw that Emperor Hongzhi was telling Liu Jian and others something, and Liu Jian and others kept nodding their heads in agreement.

  Zhang Mao walked forward slowly, then bowed down and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes, saw Zhang Mao, looked at Zhang Mao who looked a little thin, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Qing family has really worked hard."

  Zhang Maodao: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable for me to serve Your Majesty. If I can share my worries for Your Majesty, I will not work hard."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded again and again, and couldn't help feeling in his heart, Zhang Qing's family is real.

  ………

  Also, I am going to go to an Internet cafe and find a box to write. Tiger told himself, work hard!
