Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 238 Princess Le'an
Those two handsome young men turned their heads to take a look, and immediately said alas.

"Old Wen Ge! You come to eat too!"

The handsome young man who looked like his master was visibly flustered.

"Yes. Wen Tiren has met Her Highness the Princess." Wen Tiren's voice was majestic yet respectful, "Your Highness, if you travel in low clothes like this, if you encounter any dangers from young people, I'm afraid it will damage the majesty of the royal family."

Wen Tiren is a great scholar of Jianji Temple, and also a Shaofu, and also the prince and Taifu.

But Princess Le'an is not the daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, but the younger sister of Emperor Chongzhen.

Her two elder brothers are both emperors, Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Tianqi, and Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, although Princess Le'an is not very old, her status is quite high.

Wen Tiren can put on airs as a teacher to the children of Emperor Chongzhen, but he can't do it in front of Princess Le'an.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things this princess!"

Princess Le An snorted lightly.

She hates these old masters the most, they always discipline her.

"My princess just heard that there are a lot of delicacies in this VIP building, so I came here to taste it. Mrs. Wen is a dignified old man. He should be busy with state affairs now. Don't you come here to eat too? Besides, which subordinate are you talking to?" , or which merchants have dinner together?"

Princess Le'an rolled her eyes and looked at Li Gaoyi.

She had to bite back.

If Wen Tiren sued her to the emperor, she would be in big trouble.

Needless to say, being reprimanded by the emperor's brother, the key is that after this time, he will be under strict supervision by the emperor's brother in the future, and if he wants to escape, it may not be so easy!
Speaking of the past, it’s actually okay to stay out of the palace for a while.

The palace is quite big, and there are people playing with her, so it's not too boring.

But not now.It would be a pity if we couldn't eat the delicious food in the VIP building.Now she can't wait to eat the big meal in the VIP building every day.

"Old Wen Ge, why don't we make a deal. Now that we have caught each other's hands, how about we keep each other's secrets? I won't tell Brother Huang that I met you here, and you shouldn't tell Huang Brother said that we have never seen anything about me." Princess Le An said with a smile.

"Cough cough!"

Wen Tiren coughed dryly, his old face a little embarrassed.

Princess teenage girl, it's okay to say so.

However, he is an old man, a dignified old man, and he wants to play a game of mutual secrecy with a little girl... It's really embarrassing.

"Your Royal Highness, the old man behaved well and sat upright. There is nothing to hide. This is Li Gaoyi and Li Yuanwai from Qiangdi. He is the owner of the Dongfang Company. The old man and Li Yuanwai are negotiating to buy a new type of firecracker from Qiangdi. This is something His Majesty told you." Wen Tiren said with a wry smile.

"Li Yuanwai from Qiangdi? The owner of Dongfang Company? Li Yuanwai, is this VIP building, the heaven and earth, and the supply and marketing cooperative all your property?"

Princess Le'an's eyes lit up, and she stared at Li Gaoyi excitedly.

"This...His Royal Highness has misunderstood. This Dongfang Company does have some shares of the villain. However, the VIP building and the heaven and earth are not owned by the villain. They are all the property of our powerful Marshal Zhao."

Li Gaoyi said respectfully.

"Strong Marshal Zhao? This Marshal Zhao is really a wonderful person! I heard that so many dishes in the VIP building were developed by Marshal Zhao himself?" Princess Le An asked curiously.

She had obviously heard of Marshal Zhao's name a long time ago.

"Yes." Li Gaoyi nodded, with admiration on his face, "Marshal Zhao is a Bodhisattva who came to the world, not only took us to eat, put on warm clothes, and led us to live a good life, but also invented many novel gadgets for us. , a lot of delicacies. The recipes in the VIP building were all given by Marshal Zhao."

"Marshal Zhao is amazing! He actually invented so many delicious foods in the VIP building. He must be an old man, right?" Princess Le'an clicked her tongue.

"Hehe! What's the point in the Jingshi VIP building? The dishes in the main store of the Qiangdi VIP building are all in one! There are so many dishes that the Jingshi branch doesn't have." Li Gaoyi said in a proud tone.

"Ah? The capital is the richest place where rich people gather. Why don't you open the main store of the VIP Building in the capital? Why don't you open it in a strong place? It doesn't matter even if you open it in a strong place. Why don't you make delicious food? Same? Are you afraid that people in the capital can’t afford it?
You don't have to worry about this, as long as you cook well, the house will be full of guests.How good do you think your business is now?After I go back, this princess will help you to publicize it. "Princess Le An said eagerly.

It has a more complete variety than the Jingshi VIP Building, and it is more delicious... She started to drool when she thought about it.

How painful would it be if you couldn't eat it?

"His Royal Highness, it's not that our commander-in-chief doesn't want to sell delicacies to the capital! It's just that the conditions in the capital are too poor. Let alone the road from Qiangdi to the capital, the road is difficult and the transportation is difficult. A lot of ingredients have arrived. Rotten.

Simply speaking, in the capital, there is no electricity, there is no refrigerator, and fresh ingredients cannot be stored.

What is the saying?It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!How to cook without ingredients? "

Li Gaoyi also said helplessly.

"Fridge? What is that? The capital also has ice! There is one in the palace. If you need ice, I can give you some, as long as you can make delicious food. We have some in the capital, too. Must have!" Princess Le An said.

As for electricity... she had heard of it.

In heaven and earth, there are many strange things that need electricity.

However, the capital also has electricity!
Of course, it is also sold in the heaven and earth. After the battery is installed, many electrical appliances can be used.

"Ice is not enough. Many ingredients need to be frozen to preserve, and the temperature of the ice is not enough... Hey! You have never been to our elementary school in Qiangdi, so I can't explain it to you very clearly..."

"Bold!"

The maid dressed as a man who was following Princess Le'an immediately scolded.

"Qiuqing!"

Princess Le An immediately scolded.

"Don't be rude! What Li Yuanwai said is the truth!"

Then, Princess Le'an turned to Li Gaoyi and said:

"Please do not see Li Yuanwai. I usually treat this court lady like a sister. I am used to her being too powerful, which made Li Yuanwai laugh. Please continue Li Yuanwai."

"Your Royal Highness, you are welcome."

Of course Li Gaoyi will not be unreasonable, the princess has no airs, so he has to be more respectful.

"The refrigerator is a kind of thing that can make ice. It's like a box, but it's as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter. Put water in it, and it will become ice overnight. Moreover, the longer you put it, the stronger the freeze." .

A lot of fresh ingredients, after putting them in, even after a few months, they will not go bad if they are taken out again.Because there is a strong refrigerator, we can store ingredients safely and boldly.After the diners come, as long as we want to eat, we can follow the list.

Another advantage of the refrigerator is that you can put some drinks in it, such as happy water, put it in and chill it for a while, take it out and drink it, and you will be happy like a fairy! "

"Wow!"

Princess Le'an has stars in her eyes.

There are ingredients in the refrigerator at any time, as long as you want to eat, you can order it at any time.

Then, you can also drink iced happy water... What kind of happiness is this?
"Your Marshal is really a knowledgeable old master!" Princess Le An said with a look of longing.

"Old master?"

Li Gaoyi was slightly taken aback.

He just wanted to explain that his handsome man was not an old master, but an unmarried young man.

Next to him, Wen Tiren saw that there was a problem, looked at Princess Le'an suspiciously and said:
"Your Royal Highness, you don't think you have thought about going to the strong place, do you? You can't do it!"

Strong Marshal Zhao, that's rebellious and rebellious!
A majestic princess, with golden branches and jade leaves, if she goes to a strong place, can she still come back?
"Of course not!" Princess Le'an immediately said, "Even if I want to go, Brother Huang will definitely not agree! Okay, okay! I won't tell you, I'm going back to the palace. Elder Wen Ge, don't forget According to our agreement, you can't tell Brother Huang about my affairs."

Princess Le An waved her hand.

In her heart, a crazy thought could no longer be suppressed.

Before leaving, he did not forget to warn Wen Tiren.

……

Datong Mansion, Lingqiu City.

Almost when Liu Fei and Fan Yongdou first arrived at the city, dust was rising in the distance, and the vanguard led by Niu Dali also arrived.

Liu Fei panicked, like a bereaved dog, he didn't even dare to enter the city, so he went around the city and continued to flee to the south. ,

After Niu Dali and Ji Qian led the people to the city, they got off their horses and took a rest.

In enemy territory, it is a big taboo to go around the city.

Liu Fei and Fan Yongdou can do it, but they can't.

"The city is well prepared. They will definitely not open the city gate casually. It's a pity that we didn't bring heavy equipment. Otherwise, this kind of city would be knocked down with a single charge."

Niu Dali used the binoculars to look at the panicked soldiers at the head of Lingqiu City, clicked his tongue, feeling regretful.

Such a great city is right in front of you, but you can't personally lead troops to attack it... This is really a very uncomfortable thing for a warlike general like him.

"This kind of city is easy to fight. However, we don't have enough ammunition, the bullets are okay, and more than half of the grenades have been consumed. The rest must be used sparingly, just to be used on the blade, and can't be consumed here casually."

Niu vigorously put down the binoculars.

Those stationed in Shanxi were generals Cao and Cao, who had been wounded and captured alive.

And General Cao!
He must keep good equipment to guard against General Cao's ambush.

Fight, not enough equipment.If I leave, I will be a little bit unwilling.

"General Niu, we don't need to attack the city, just ask them to give us some food. We set off too hastily and didn't bring any dry food. If we chase further, we will soon run out of supplies. Just ask the city to give us some. " Ji Qian said.

"Good idea!" Niu Dali nodded, reached out and patted Ji Qian's shoulder, "Old Ji! You really deserve to be a guerrilla fighter who has been outside for several months! You are really a chicken thief!"

"Hey! Our guerrilla units have always done this. We don't fight when we encounter a city. If there is a lack of food, we stand under the city and shoot a few shots, and shout at the top of the city. They will send out the food and calm down. !" Ji Qian said happily.

"Hmph! The commander-in-chief is right. The defenders of the imperial court are indeed useless! The commander-in-chief also said that on the southeast coast, there are Japanese pirates who come ashore to kill and plunder. Usually there are only three or five people, but they can show off their power in the city. Even if there are tens of thousands of people in the city, no one dares to leave the city to fight, and they usually leave after the Japanese pirates have killed and looted enough. What a joke!" Niu Dali snorted coldly.

"The imperial court is too useless. Those officials only know the fish and meat. If you want me to say, our family's commander-in-chief has to sit in this world. Look at our strong land, is it right to say that it is a backcountry? The rise of the commander-in-chief How many days? It’s already a rich place. Anyway, I’m in the Shanshan area, and the whole Xuanfu Town, and I don’t see where the common people can live as well as us.” Ji Qian only obeyed Zhao Cheng .

"Don't worry! This world, sooner or later, will belong to our Marshal. Look at Liaodong, how many years the imperial court has been unable to recover it, and how much tax money has been spent, but it has become more and more corrupt. As soon as the Marshal makes a move, it will be recovered within a few months." It's gone... Most of the time is on the road. If the Chongzhen children are sensible, they should obediently give up the world to our commander, and we will follow the commander and be a hero for the founding of the country. If they are not sensible, no matter how narrow-minded they dare to be, We recognize him, but the guns in our hands don't recognize people."

Niu Dali was deeply concerned about Liu Fei's betrayal.

However, after this chase, it took a lot of energy, and the anger calmed down a lot.

Standing on the horseback, he used the binoculars to look in the direction Liu Fei was fleeing from.

The commander's order came, telling them not to rush to catch up with Liu Fei and Fan Yongdou, but to catch up slowly like a cat playing with a mouse.

Wherever Liu Fei fled, the conscript army would kill there.

Although Niu Dali wanted to catch up with Liu Fei immediately, question Liu Fei why he betrayed, and then cut Fan Yongdou with his own hands... But he dared not disobey the commander's order.

"Just do as you said! We can extort some food at most, and we have to be responsible for keeping a close eye on Liu Fei and not letting him get lost. This city can only be handed over to the brothers behind to capture it. It's cheaper Gu Two that guy!"

Gu Er led the army and was right behind.

"However, we can't be idle. Ji Qian, there is a great achievement here, do you dare to try it?" Niu Dali asked.

"Of course you dare! Why don't you dare? At the beginning, under the command of the commander in chief, I dared to wander around Xuanfu Town and the Shanshan area with ten people. Now, we have 300 people... What are you afraid of? ?” Ji Qian stared, feeling humiliated.

"it is good!"

Niu Dali shouted hello, pulled Ji Qian, and the two walked to the map.

"Look, we are now in Lingqiu. To the southeast, along the Tang River, there is a Daomaguan. The terrain of this Daomaguan is complicated, and it is among the mountains, but the location is very critical. Because of this There is a small road, you can directly cross Wuhui Mountain, go to Tang County, and go straight to Baoding Mansion.

Take down Daomaguan, once there is a major event, we can send troops directly from Daomaguan to take Baoding Mansion.Baoding Mansion is the southern gate of the capital!Take Baoding Mansion, and the capital is in our pocket. "

Niu Dali's eyes lit up.

This was not an idea that came to him on a whim, but it was something he had imagined countless times when he listened to the instructors explain various cases when he was attending lectures at the military academy, and then looked at the military map himself.

The strong land army is in Xuanfu Town, and they can go directly to the capital through Zhangjiakou.

But the marching route is not the only one.

Sometimes Raiders work better.

Moreover, judging from the commander's intentions, it seems that he does not want to win the capital so soon, and the military government intends to develop south.

In this case, when the conquering army occupied the whole of Shanxi and wanted to advance eastward, one of the best marching routes would be Daomaguansuo, and the other would be Jingxing.

On the military map provided by the general to the senior generals of the conquest army, these two places are highlighted.

Niu Dali wanted to take down Daomaguan, so he took the credit and took the lead.

"Okay! Just listen to General Niu! Take down Daomaguan. When the time is right and the general wants to be the emperor, he will send troops directly to take down Baoding Mansion, go to the capital, and take down the old man of the emperor. Change our family to sit on it." Ji Qian said excitedly.

"Then it's up to you. You take 200 people to take down the Daomaguan Office, leave 100 people to garrison there, and then bring others to join me. This is the same as chasing Liu Fei and taking down the Daomaguan Office." Both of us are responsible for the credit. What do you think?" Niu Dali asked.

"Everything is under General Niu's command!" Ji Qian said immediately.

He took 200 people and went straight to Daomaguan.

Niu Dali led his people to the city of Lingqiu and began to shout:
"Listen up, people in the city. We have marched here for two nights and have lost track. Quickly open the city gate and let us search for it. If you dare to say a word, break the city gate , chickens and dogs will not stay!"
