First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 84

　　 Li Zhen said she didn't believe it, but she was beaten in the face soon. This Chuzhou kitchen is really scary!

　　 Not to mention anything else, just cooking is amazing enough.

　　 Initially, Zhang Ximeng calculated that a soldier needs one catty of food a day, but in fact it has never been less than one catty two taels, and even recently reached one and a half catty.

　　 There is really no way. Spring ploughing is busy, and Lao Zhu has promoted farming again. Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, he has to reclaim wasteland and grow food.

　　 The amount of labor has increased, and the food can't keep up. That's mortal.

　　 Therefore, the daily standard is one catty and a half of grain, if you replace it with two taels of steamed buns, it will be twelve (16 taels per catty).

　　 Later generations, a bunch of snacks, especially fat and sugar, as much as you want, you can eat two or three steamed buns for a meal, even if you have a lot of food.

　　 At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were many ruthless people who could eat more than a dozen steamed buns in one meal.

　　 At this little food, I can barely eat a seven-point full.

　　 It's good to trade fair in the army and get plenty of vegetables from the people. Occasionally, soldiers will be mobilized to hunt and fish. In the military camps, there are also chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. After all, you can eat a little meat and eggs, which can nourish your body, and will not cause damage due to overwork.

　　 Zhang Ximeng had thought about it for the soldiers' bite. He even wanted to promote milk in the army, but he quickly gave up. For one thing, soldiers didn't like to drink this stuff, and secondly, he couldn't get so many cows. I had no choice but to get some soy and black beans to drink soy milk for the soldiers.

　　 In the final analysis, it's just one sentence, no one can support a person with meat, eggs, or milk. Whoever dares to stop him from eating is just like him!

　　 Li Zhen witnessed such a magnificent picture. The biggest scene he had ever seen was nothing but a wedding banquet for hundreds of people.

　　 But here, there is food for thousands of people.

　　 Apart from anything else, the cauldron for cooking rice can almost swim in it.

　　 can cook two hundred catties of rice at a time. There are as many as dozens of them in such a big pot. The fire below is burning, and the white gas rises from the top, making a large cloud and mist enveloping it, and it is like a fairyland.

　　Look over there, basket after basket of vegetables, just pour it into the pot.

　　The veteran in charge of the kitchen grabbed the salt jar and sprinkled a lot of salt.

　　 I sweat a lot at work, so salt is essential.

　　 Li Zhen really opened his eyes when looking at the sweating cooking soldiers.

　　 A jar of salt, if you save a little bit, it can be enough for their family to eat for a year. Here, you have to pour eight cans into ten cans for a meal.

　　 Where is the meal?

　　 is simply burning money!

　　 He was really right, he was indeed burning money.

　　 "Brother-in-law, look, this kitchen only supplies the three thousand soldiers in the city, and there are some civilians...under our hands, there are more than thirty thousand people!"

"How many?"

　　 Li Zhen was stunned, so much is only one-tenth? Heavy eights, heavy eights, how powerful you are! You are so promising!

　　 How many soldiers and horses are chatting in the lobby is a number, but facing Mishan and Mantou Mountain in front of him, Li Zhen completely understands that his brother-in-law is no longer the cowherd baby back then.

　　 "Um... I was reckless just now, how can I manage such a big kitchen! I, I still don't be ashamed."

　　 Li Zhen declined, but Zhu Yuanzhang was turned black. He just wanted to let her brother-in-law learn something, but not to scare her. Besides, as a close relative, it is reasonable to let the brother-in-law take care of things.

　　 "No one is born to know everything, brother-in-law, just do it, and learn as you go. You will be able to get started soon."

　　 Zhang Ximeng followed, and smiled: "Rice, noodles, grains and oil are from the warehouse, as long as they are cooked here for the soldiers."

Li Zhen darkened his face and said solemnly: "Although I don't understand the affairs of the army, the people rely on food, let alone a warrior who leads the war? This year has reached half a hundred years, and I have gone through a lot of red and white. Regardless of a small stove, it has a lot to do with it. With so many people, digging out a little from everyone's mouth, it will last forever. It's not a small number!"

　　 Li Zhen is a good old man. He is now over fifty years old, twice as big as Zhu Yuanzhang. An old house where a treasure.

　　 Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted his brother-in-law to do something, but after listening to his explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he really chose the right person.

　　 "Brother-in-law, don't refuse, this matter is none other than you!"

　　 Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but nodded next to him. Old Zhu's brother-in-law has a very good evaluation in history books. Even after the founding of Ming Dynasty, he was very frugal. Old Zhu rewarded him with clothes, but he was reluctant to wear them. He just wore stitched clothes and always told his family about the hardships of farming in the past.

　　 It can be said that he taught Li Wenzhong very well, but the old man left a little early, and he didn't teach his grandson well, so that the **** lost all the good reputation of the Li family.

　　 "Lord, how about it? Try it for a few months to see how it works?"

　　 Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Just as Mr. said." He said to Li Zhen again: "Brother-in-law, you are not allowed to resign."

　　 Li Zhen was startled, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Sure, don't worry, brother-in-law will not be ashamed of you!"

　　 Li Zhen really isn't just blowing around... He has experience and is a real man.

　　 Since mastering the kitchen, Li Zhen has been a table for soldiers dedicated to enriching him.

　　How to do the most things with the least money, this is a university question.

　　 After Li Zhen found out that there was soy milk in the army, he immediately came up with an idea.

　　 He bought soybeans, soy milk, tofu, thousand sheets, dried tofu, and even vegetarian chicken.

　　The remaining tofu residue is the best feed. Li Zhen bought dozens of piglets with Caijin to raise them, and when she waited for the New Year, she would kill the pigs and eat meat.

　　Also, the little old man led the big guys to build chicken coops, dig fish ponds, grow vegetables around the barracks, dig lotus roots down the river, and pick mushrooms up the mountains... In short, Li Zhen did his best to make the soldiers eat well and eat well!

　　 Zhang Ximeng thinks he may have become a hamster in his last life, otherwise, how could he have such a strong collection addiction!

　　 All kinds of wild wild vegetables, leaf-eating, stem-eating, root-eating, they are classified into different categories, and they are not messy. Some are dried and stored, and some are pickled as pickles.

　　 Since Li Zhen's arrival, the variety of pickles on the table has obviously gone up, and the big guys can't help but be surprised.

"My brother-in-law was a good cook back then. Whenever there was a big wedding or funeral in the country, he was invited to take the lead and spread the noodles. At that time, we were most willing to follow my brother-in-law, not only to have a good meal, but the things the host did not want to ask for, If you can bring something back, the whole family can have a beautiful meal..." Old Zhu longed for the few happy times in his teenage years, and he yearned for it.

　　 Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyes. Is that what others don't want?

　　 Maybe it was stolen, you know?

　　 Obviously, Zhang Ximeng did not dare to expose Lao Zhu.

　　 And under the extreme pressure of survival, I really can't ask for anything too much.

"My lord, the floating wealth and grain we have collected is enough to sustain the summer grain harvest. With this season's grain to support, we don't have to worry about going hungry. The situation will only get better and the people will get full and warm, and they will get better. "

　　 Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "I hope so...We really want to manage Chuzhou well, this is our root!"

　　 Lao Zhu sighed like this, but not groaning without illness.

　　 Repeatedly because of the consequence of not having a solid base.

　　The latest example is Peng Zaozhu!

　　 I think he and his father Peng Da fled to Haozhou, relying on Guo Zixing as shelter, and sent them under the fence.

　　 defeated Jia Lu so easily, how energetic Peng Da!

　　With thirty thousand soldiers and horses, he was called King Luhuai, and he took Sizhou and Xuyi with his troops. Wherever he went, he held his head and squirmed around. The realm of vitality and vigorous development is still in sight. In a blink of an eye, with Zhao Jun, Peng Da was injured and died.

　　 Is the land of Sizhou actually the burial place of the Peng family and his son?

　　 At this moment, a soldier and horse descended from the sky, and Xu Da led five hundred people to meet Peng Zao live.

　　 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, but now it's not even used for a year, the situation is reversed and the world is turned upside down!

　　 "Marshal Peng, my superior sent me to condole the king... and let me take a message, if the marshal is willing to go to Chuzhou, he welcomes the marshal to go south."

　　 Peng's early stay was much worse than before, and his heart was worse than before.

　　 "Your family's town is caressing, but Zhao Jun used this thief to kill my dad. In any case, I will get revenge! I will never end with him! Unless there is someone who is dead! Don't stop!"

Xu Da couldn't help sighing, "Marshal, the gentleman takes revenge, it is not too late for ten years. Now if you die, you will only exhaust your precious troops... The big guys are the Haozhou Red Scarf~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yuan Tanzi is desperate. The superiors have already said that, so please don't hesitate to lead the soldiers to the south and recuperate. Only when you recover your vitality, you can get revenge!"

　　 Xu Da kept persuading Peng to stay early.

　　 Actually, Peng lived early and had the intention to leave, but he just asked him to seek refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, which was really shameless.

　　 Their father and son were overwhelmed and eagerly called the king. Now they are defeated, but they are going to find the former captain of the ninety-five, and let people live?

　　 Xu Da knows Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, and his superiors want to promote the alliance of the original Haozhou Red Scarf, and the Peng family cannot ignore it anyway.

Time passed, just when Xu Da almost lost confidence, Zhao Junyong attacked again. The two sides fought fiercely. At a critical moment, a Yuan army suddenly appeared behind Peng Zao's residence. For a time, the army was in a state of chaos, and Peng Zao lived back. The sky is weak, the soldiers and horses are defeated!

　　 Xu Da led five hundred men and horses, repelled the Yuan army's pursuit, and took the opportunity to take Peng Zao to live south.

　　 At this moment, Peng had no choice but to live early. He could only gather the remnants, adding up to the scale of several thousand people, and head south in embarrassment.

　　 They were getting closer and closer to Chuzhou, when another team came.

　　The leaders of the army were also old acquaintances, Yu, Lu, and Pan, the three former marshals of Haozhou, who led thousands of defeated generals to catch up with them.

　　 We got together, and after asking, they realized that they had marched together with Sun Deya, encountered Yuan Ting soldiers and horses, defeated the war, and their plan to plot Huai'an had failed.

　　 Sun Deya led the remnant and rushed towards Hezhou. The three of them wanted to go with Sun Deya, but occasionally I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was very strong in Chuzhou.

　　 The three people came with them, and it just so happened that they ran into the young marshal Peng staying early.

　　 The four marshals of the past have come together to take refuge in Lao Zhu.
