Chapter 59
Hao Guangming smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
After receiving an affirmative reply, Zhu Yura couldn't help but stare at the compressed biscuit that was no bigger than a palm, and was once again shocked by modern creations.
Hao Guangming continued: "The weight of the items you can bring every day is certain. Of course, it is more cost-effective to bring such hungry military rations.
From now on, if you take Li Yan and Red Lady's troops to Sichuan, it will be more convenient to carry this kind of military rations for the march."
After speaking, Hao Guangming opened another item of military rations and took out a short cylindrical green iron box.
"Braised pork?" Zhu Aona read out the words on the box without Hao Guangming's introduction.
Hao Guangming nodded and then introduced: "This is called canned food, which is the unified name for a kind of food storage here. It can not only hold braised pork, braised beef and other prepared meats, but also fruits.
This box is half a kilogram, and it will not spoil for three years if not opened. You can eat it immediately after opening it, or you can heat it and eat it directly in the tin box after opening it."
With that said, Hao Guangming took out the can opener that was delivered and introduced the use of the can opener to Zhu Yu'ao.
Then he opened the box of canned pork, found bowls and chopsticks, and took out a piece of braised pork for Zhu Aelao to taste.
Although Zhu Aao was not hungry, she still tasted it out of curiosity, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
“It tastes really good!”
"Brother-in-law, I want to eat too." Zhu Aoshan came over at this time and watched eagerly.
Hao Guangming smiled, "You do too."
He immediately gave Zhu Aisheng a piece of it.
Afterwards, Hao Guangming opened a box of canned braised beef for the two princesses to taste.
In the same way, beef is naturally more delicious than pork.
After finishing a piece, Zhu Aao couldn't help but asked: "Is beef easy to eat here? Is it illegal to slaughter cattle?"
After all, this Ming princess knew too little about modern things.
Hao Guangming explained with a smile: "First, we basically no longer use cattle for farming here, but use machinery.
Secondly, these cattle that are slaughtered for food are not farm cattle, but are called beef cattle, or dairy cows on grassland pastures.
These cattle are raised on a large scale by the people to produce milk and meat.
When we buy milk and beef, we can strengthen our bodies, the people who raise cattle can get income, and the country can get tax revenue from it, which is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone."
Zhu Ailao listened thoughtfully.
···
Hao Guangming rested, but Zhu Aona became busy.
But she also knows how to do what she can.
After all, she is the hope of Ming Dynasty now. If she is destroyed, Ming Dynasty will have no hope.
So, she transported a box each of compressed biscuits, canned pork, and canned beef, and then took a rest.
It happened that the red lady and Li Yan returned to the mansion one after another, and Zhu Aona introduced three kinds of modern military rations to them.
After hearing this, both Li Yan and the Red Lady were overjoyed.
"With this thing, we won't be afraid of starving in the future!" The red lady stared at the army rations, her almond-shaped eyes shining brightly.
Li Yan also said excitedly: "Not just us, the princess has this ability, maybe no one in the world will have to starve in the future!"
Therefore, Li Yan thought of asking Zhu Aolao to buy grain from another time and space to help the people affected by the disaster in the Ming Dynasty.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were in such a difficult situation. Over the years, natural and man-made disasters have occurred one after another, countless people have been displaced, and tens of millions of people have been forced to lose their way of living.
With this thought in his mind, Li Yan looked at Zhu Yu'ao and then noticed that Zhu Yu'ao didn't look as happy as he and the Red Lady.
After these few days of contact, Li Yan had a certain understanding of Zhu Yuyao and knew that this Ming princess was kind-hearted.
In this way, she can really get food from hundreds of years ago, and it is impossible to just bring a few boxes of military rations here now.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Your Highness, but it is not easy to get food from future generations?"
Zhu Yuyao shook her head, "That's not the case, it's my problem. I travel between two time and space, and I can only carry things that can be moved, and under extreme load conditions, my body may be damaged once or twice, and I will no longer be able to use my magical powers.
, you have to rest well before you can recover.”
She did not directly say that she would fall into coma after overloading.
This is what Hao Guangming taught her.
Defenses can not do without.
She trusted Li Yan. It was one thing to be a red lady, but it was another thing to tell two people how to kill her.
After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but look regretful and sighed: "It's such a pity."
At this time, the red lady had already taken the canned beef that Hao Guangming had opened on the other side and started to eat it. When she heard this, she said, "What's the pity? I think my husband is too greedy."
The princess has this magical power. She can always bring some useful things from there in the future, making things much easier for us.
Do you still think that the princess takes care of everything? In that case, what use does the princess have to us?"
Li Yan looked ashamed after hearing this, and immediately bowed his hands to the red lady formally, "My lady is right, I was too greedy."
Zhu Ayao said: "Master Li is also worried about the people of the world - although I cannot bring a large amount of food from future generations, as long as I can calm the world, I will always have a way to deal with natural disasters and famines and save the people of the world."
Li Yan nodded and immediately started thinking about practical issues.
"This military ration is indeed very important to us. In this way, the princess will probably have to spend time and work harder to bring more military rations from future generations."
Zhu Yuyao smiled with a tired face, "That's exactly what I thought."
Li Yan smiled first, then sighed inexplicably.
"What's wrong with Mr. Li?" Zhu Auao asked.
Li Yan said: "Your Highness, please stop calling me Young Master from now on. Just call me Li Yan."
Zhu Yuyao felt that it was not good to call you by your name, so she thought about it and said, "Then shall I call you Mr. Li?"
When she said this, she couldn't help but think of Hao Guangming.
At first, she also called Hao Guangming as husband, but now the title of Hao Guangming has long been changed to "husband" in her heart, but she hasn't said it out yet.
Li Yan was quite satisfied to be called sir by the princess, so he nodded.
Zhu Aaao asked: "Mr. Li hasn't said why he sighs yet."
The red lady on the side had finished the canned beef. After hearing this, she said: "What can I do for you? Liu Zongmin proposed the torture plan that the princess mentioned before. My husband couldn't help but persuaded Wang Chuang."
But King Chuang didn’t listen at all.”
Li Yan sighed: "Actually, King Chuang is not indifferent to my advice. It's just that in Dashun Dingding Capital, hundreds of thousands of soldiers now need pay and silver rewards. King Chuang is in urgent need of money and food, but there is no other way. He can only use Liu Zongmin
The payment policy.”
Zhu Ainao said: "Did Mr. Li ever advise Liu Zongmin not to torture Wu Xiang?"
A few days ago, after Hao Guangming and Zhu Yura learned about the situation of the Dashun Army in detail, they discovered that even if Wu Sangui did not rebel, Dashun might not be able to stop the Qing army from moving south.
Apart from anything else, the food and salary problem alone is difficult to solve.
Food and salary needs to be discussed separately here.
Li Zicheng has decided to use Liu Zongmin's salary policy, but in this world, it is not possible to buy food immediately with money.
Therefore, the Dashun Army was still troubled by food problems.
If Dashun's ministries lack military rations in the future, not to mention that Guan Ning's army will surrender and then rebel again, the original Ming Dynasty's surrender army and even other rogue tribes annexed by Li Zicheng will not be restrained and even rebel.
In fact, during this era, the Qing army and various armies south of the Ming Dynasty were all worried about insufficient food and grass.
It is true that natural disasters were too frequent, coupled with man-made disasters, food production in various parts of the Ming Dynasty decreased almost every year, and food shortages were serious.
Considering these circumstances, Hao Guangming, after discussing with Zhu Yurao, decided to tell Li Yan the specific reasons why Wu Sangui surrendered and rebelled again, to see if the Dashun Army could avoid this incident.
Regarding this, Zhu Yasuo was conflicted in her heart. She not only hoped that Wu Sangui would not rebel and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but also blocked the Qing army with the Dashun army for a few years. At least she also hoped that the Qing army would consume more fresh Tatar troops in the process of moving south.
But she was worried that Li Zicheng's Dashun was really stable.
Hao Guangming knew, however, that with Li Zicheng's situation, it was extremely unlikely that he would be able to secure his position in the world, unless there was an unexpected encounter like Zhu Auao's.
He even felt that Wu Sangui's surrender and rebellion might not be changed.
In his view, the reason why Wu Sangui rebelled and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was not as simple as hating Li Zicheng for extorting wages from the Wu family. It was more likely that Wu Sangui saw that Dashun would not last long because of the extortion of wages.
It was inevitable for Li Zicheng to use a high-paying policy.
Otherwise, he would not be able to solve the problem of pay and reward for hundreds of thousands of Dashun soldiers.
Distribute land?
Under normal circumstances, it would be possible. However, natural disasters have been going on for more than ten years, especially in the north. The people have lost the confidence to make a living by farming, let alone the rogue bandits and the Dashun soldiers who came from the Ming Dynasty official army.
The only things that can appease these Dashun soldiers are money and food.
If he suppresses the situation and does not pay or reward the soldiers, Li Zicheng will be finished immediately.
