Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 73 Rebuild the East Factory and use canned meat to motivate the soldiers to hurry!

After Hao Guangming's persuasion, Auntie Zhu not only calmed down, but also changed her mind.

But she cut her hair first, and then returned to Daming with a box of compressed biscuits.

It is worth mentioning that Hao Guangming only bought compressed biscuits instead of canned meat after realizing that all the red ladies were short of food.

Canned meat is delicious, but it’s not as good as compressed biscuits.

The big tent is used by the Lord General to call the generals to discuss matters, not the sleeping tent of Li Yan and Hong Niangzi.

In addition, it didn't take long for Auntie Zhu to leave, when she came again, Li Yan was still here to deal with affairs.

Seeing Aimee Zhu coming so soon, Li Yan was very happy at first, but when she saw that Aimee Zhu's long hair that reached her waistcoat had been reduced to a shoulder-length "short hair" and only tied into a simple ponytail, Li Yan's expression froze. .

Subconsciously, he wanted to say a few more words about Aimee Zhu.

But thinking of what Hong Niangzi said before, and considering that Aimee Zhu had cut her "short hair", he could only shake his head and sigh.

Hearing Li Yan's sigh, Auntie Zhu put down the compressed biscuits she brought, and said, "Mr. Li, why should you sigh? I just don't want the female soldiers in the personal guard camp to cut their hair short, but mine should be done by me." call the shots."

Li Yan was relieved to hear that Auntie Zhu no longer asked the female soldiers to cut their hair short, so he nodded and said, "Your Highness is right."

Auntie Zhu didn't say any more, but called Fei Zhen'e and went to Fang Zhenghua's camp.

Fang Zhenghua was still arranged to live in the same tent with Liu Xiaolian and Liu Weitong, but he was always in the supply camp.

However, the large tent was actually set up in the camp of the supply camp—the infantry and cavalry each set up separate camps to protect the surroundings of the supply camp.

Once outside the tent, Fei Zhen'e shouted: "Eunuch Fang, can it be convenient? Your Highness has something to tell you."

Soon Fang Zhenghua came out, bowed solemnly to Auntie Zhu, and said, "I don't know what orders does Your Highness Princess have?"

Auntie Zhu noticed Liu Xiaolian through the opened curtain and looked over here again, and said, "Eunuch Fang, come to my tent and talk."

Although Auntie Zhu doesn't live here, she actually has a tent. Because she is with Fei Zhen'e, only Fei Zhen'e actually sleeps alone.

Bringing Fang Zhenghua to Fei Zhen'e's tent, Auntie Zhu sat down in a dignified posture on a high-legged waistcoat, and said, "Eunuch Fang, I hope you can start to build a new Dongchang from now on, and absorb the old one. The talents and assets left by the East Factory.”

"Old slave obeys." Fang Zhenghua responded first, and then said: "However, this old slave has never worked in the East Factory before, and now he has no one and no money. The reconstruction of the East Factory may be very slow."

Aunt Zhu said: "It's okay, I told you this matter is just for you to prepare first - I will take care of the money matter for you, but the talent needs you to pay attention to and develop yourself.

In addition, try to keep this matter as secret as possible, don't let others know, understand? "

"The old slave understands." Fang Zhenghua nodded.

Seeing that Fang Zhenghua was so obedient, Aimee Zhu was very satisfied.

Before she said this, she was worried that Fang Zhenghua would not be ordered to rebuild the East Factory because she was still a prisoner and not the emperor, but Fang Zhenghua agreed without a word of objection.

She felt that even though Fang Zhenghua coveted Dongchang's rights, his approval of his father's will was the decisive factor.

So Zhu Yu said again: "Since Mr. Fang has become a factory minister, he can call himself a minister in front of me from now on."

"Old slave... I thank Your Highness for your kindness!" Fang Zhenghua bowed to Aimee Zhu.

···
That night, Auntie Zhu worked overtime to travel between Daming and modern times, and in addition to bringing a few boxes of compressed biscuits and a dozen or so charged lanterns, she also brought 100 taels of gold.

Before going back to the old house in the bamboo forest, she asked Fei Zhen'e to deliver the gold to Fang Zhenghua.

The so-called prosperous antique gold in troubled times.

Although food is the most valuable in the Ming Dynasty, the value of gold is also reliable, and a hundred taels of gold should be enough for the founder to use for a while.

The next day, the Red Lady continued to march.

Auntie Zhu was still walking with Li Yan in the Chinese army, her expression calm and calm, as if Ruo Ri's dispute had never happened.

But her shoulder-length black hair, which was simply tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon, was particularly eye-catching.

Aimee Zhu's hair had already been cut, so Li Yan would not say anything more, but told Aimee Zhu some relevant knowledge after the march.

"It is more than 300 miles from Beijing to Baoding. Although we walked hundreds of miles in the middle of the night after we left Beijing, we only covered one-third of the distance.

Now we are marching normally, even with the flashlight of Her Highness the Princess to allow the soldiers to go for a certain distance after dark, it is estimated that we can only march fifty or sixty miles a day.

Based on this calculation, we may have to walk three or four days to reach Baoding.

As for the distance from the capital to Tongguan, although I don't know the exact distance, it is estimated to be one or two thousand miles.

Calculated by our footsteps, even if there is no delay along the way, it may take more than a month to walk. "

Hearing this, Auntie Zhu suddenly said, "It's more than two thousand miles from Beijing to Tongguan."

Li Yan was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "If this is the case, I'm afraid we will have to go for a month and a half."

Auntie Zhu also frowned.

Before that, she always subconsciously believed that Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates would not be able to seize the level until August, and there was still enough time left.

But when she was on the way, she realized that it would take a long time on the road.

According to the data that Hao Guangming and her found on the Internet last night, it takes one or two thousand miles from Tongguan to Chengdu.

This means that even if they are simply traveling, they will have to spend three months on the road from the day they leave Beijing.

And it was late April when they left Beijing.

If they were delayed by something on the road, they might not be able to catch up with the battle in Chengdu.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wei said to Li Yan seriously: "Mr. Li, according to the current speed, our time is too tight, we must let the soldiers speed up!"

Li Yan actually figured this out.

He nodded and said: "I will try my best to urge the soldiers."

On the other side, Hao Guangming heard this and said, "I think you can set up a reward mechanism, using those compressed biscuits and canned meat as prizes.

Tell the soldiers that as long as they can drive as many miles a day, they will have compressed biscuits and canned meat to eat when they camp and rest.

In addition, you can also find some suitable movies on our side and show them to them later, as a spiritual reward. "

Aunt Zhu immediately told Li Yan about Hao Guangming's proposal.

Li Yan couldn't help nodding when he heard this.

"Although this move will consume the military rations we have saved for future generations in advance, it will be worth it if it can significantly improve the daily schedule of the soldiers.

But what is this movie?Does it have anything to do with shadow puppetry? "

Aimee Zhu laughed and said, "Mr. Li is really smart. Movies are indeed similar to shadow puppetry, but they are indeed more similar to drama."

Li Yan frowned when he heard this, and asked: "I'm afraid it's not good to let the soldiers watch a play in the army?"

Auntie Zhu said: "I got something later, and I'll show it to Mr. Li and Mrs. Hong first, so Mr. Li will know if it's all right or not."

Li Yan nodded and said no more.

Immediately, he sent messengers to chase after Hong Niangzi, and told Aimee Zhu about her proposal, and knowing that Hong Niangzi also agreed, he first announced to the soldiers that they could eat compressed dry food and canned meat at night after traveling.

"Soldiers, Her Royal Highness said that as long as the big guys can walk sixty miles today, they will give out compressed biscuits to eat at night!

If you can walk seventy miles, let the big guys taste the taste of canned meat! "

When the messengers gave the orders of Hong Niangzi and Li Yan, the generals at all levels immediately mobilized loudly during the march.

A soldier asked with a smile: "Zhang Qi, I have eaten that biscuit once, it is really delicious, the key is that I am very hungry.

But what is that canned meat?Is it made of meat?How does it taste compared to bacon jerky? "

All the Hongniangzi troops had eaten canned meat before, and the flag leader showed a look of aftertaste when he heard the words, and said: "I have only eaten this canned meat once, although it is braised pork, not better braised pork Beef, but the taste is delicious, I dare say, even the braised pork in the big restaurant in the capital can't match it!"

After listening to it, he smiled and said, "Is it the flag blowing? There really is that delicious braised pork. It has been hidden in our camp for so many days and it still doesn't stink?"

"Smelly?" Zhang Qi glared at the old soldier who spoke, "You have seen how exquisite the box of compressed biscuits is, it is said that it can be stored for four years without spoiling.

Let me tell you, the canned meat is also packed in tin boxes, which can be stored for three years.How long did it take for the princess to be sent to our camp?smell?No way! "

The soldiers were amazed when they heard this——

"Scary! Can braised pork be stored for three years?!"

"I'm afraid it's not the braised pork made by gods that can be kept for so long?"

"I heard that the princess was enlightened by the gods and has supernatural powers, so she can bring us treasures like magic lamps. So this canned meat may really be made by the gods, or it is what the gods usually eat .”

"Really? Then I must try it tonight. If you eat the braised pork made by the gods, you may prolong your life."

"What's the use of prolonging my life? What if I get chopped up on the battlefield? I hope that the meat eaten by this god will make me stronger, so that I can survive in battle and be rewarded for my meritorious deeds!"

"···"

In this way, the soldiers walked and talked about compressed biscuits, canned meat, and the princess's enlightenment, all full of energy.

Therefore, not only did the speed of the journey not slow down due to the momentary discussion, but it was significantly faster than yesterday.
