Chapter 303 What is he building?
Afterwards, the two went to work normally, and Wantong curiously asked Wu Youwei what their era was like after work.
Wu Youwei took the trouble to tell him about his era.
"Everyone can read?" Wantong looked constipated after hearing this: "Then is there anyone in the army?"
"Of course!" Wu Youwei said, "It's an honor for us to serve as a soldier!
"How could it be?" Wan Tongdao: "Military registration is... for generations to come!"
"We want to be soldiers from generation to generation, but the country won't allow it!" Wu Youwei sighed: "The requirement to be a soldier is to graduate from a college, and high school is no longer acceptable. In the past, high school was allowed, but later the requirements became higher and higher. .”
Wantong asked again what is high school?University, what is it.
After Wu Youwei told him that university is equivalent to raising a person, and all soldiers require a college degree, Wantong felt even more incredible: "What kind of person can be an official?"
"Just take the civil service exam." Wu Youwei thought for a while: "I think it's okay to study politics? We have a special political university there.
"Politics?" Wantong frowned upon hearing this, isn't that too straightforward?
"It is to learn how to be an official." Wu Youwei said: "Many people have to study for many years to become a small official, and then they have made achievements in politics, and they have been promoted step by step. When they become officials, they have to study further.
"Then those officials... must be clean and honest!" Wantong couldn't imagine what kind of officials would be like that?
"We also have corrupt officials there, but they are rare, most of them are good, and the salaries of our officials are very high, jealous!" Wu Youwei rested his chin on his hands and looked at the stars in the sky outside: "The salary is high, and there are various benefits. , medical insurance, endowment insurance, car insurance, etc. Before I died, I heard that the salaries of civil servants were raised again, and ordinary teachers can still earn four to five thousand a month! The principal of our school even said that he would raise my salary... ....
Wantong just listened to Wu Youwei talk about his world.
It's all he can't understand, people can fly in the sky, and there is more than one way to go to the sky; even on the moon, you can spend money to play around!
There are many countries on the other side of the ocean, but they are different from the Ming Dynasty, where women have the right to inherit, but I heard that hygiene is not very good, and bloodletting is done when sick, and there is a king who is bloodletting to death?This is too stupid.
But hundreds of years later, their technology was advanced, and they called...
There are so many things, Vantone is like listening to a bible...
August, the autumn harvest season, the biggest task of Ming Dynasty is the autumn harvest, which is related to winter, planting and food issues next year.
Originally, in August of this year, Shanxi gave relief, but because corn was planted there, even if there was a drought, the harvest was seventy-eight eighty-eight, plus sweet potatoes and beans, which were not much less than in good years.
Moreover, Wu Youwei's gourmet book contains various methods of making noodles, such as sweet potato flour and potato flour, and someone has researched them in no time, and because this kind of noodles can be stored for a long time, it is most suitable for the frontier army to garrison fields on the border.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, vermicelli became popular in central Beijing, such as stewed pork vermicelli, chicken and mushroom vermicelli, stewed cabbage vermicelli, cold salad vermicelli, minced meat and potato vermicelli, etc.
When it comes to food, the people of the big foodie country have been at the forefront of the world since ancient times.
As soon as the vermicelli came out, there was another thing on the dining table. Even the Imperial Academy could eat pork stewed vermicelli.
Especially when everyone loved it at the beginning, it was so funny that Wu Youwei laughed every time he ate it.
Wantong thought the vermicelli was good, and asked Wu Youwei, "What did you eat in your era?"
"Eat everything!" Wu Youwei said, "You can eat poison and have fun.
"Isn't it poisonous?" Wantong came to his senses after finishing speaking: "No, could it be that at that time, everyone was invulnerable to all poisons?"
That's amazing!
"Yes! Yes!" Wu Youwei nodded: "What about Sudan red, gutter oil, cyanuric...we have eaten them all!" "What are those?" Wantong thought for a while: "Gutter oil The oil... just got it out of the gutter? Does it still work?" So dark and so stinky
"Why don't you say that those people are greedy for profit!" Wu Youwei told him about the various food problems at that time.But Wantong noticed something from inside: "Is there no shortage of food in your place?" No shortage! "Wu Youwei said: "Farmers worry about selling grain when autumn comes.
This is unbelievable to Wantong. Daming even dislikes his lack of food, because food cannot be preserved for a long time, but it can't do without food.But soon, he knew that Daming was not short of food.
Gui Chou, the world has another bumper harvest. Emperor Xianzong is now full of confidence, and he is still in the midst of floods and droughts.The reputation among the people has reached a new height.
The ministers also felt that the emperor had done the right thing. There was too much grain in the grain storehouse to be eaten up, and this food could not be stored for a long time. It could only be renewed for a year. It doesn't matter whether it is made into agricultural by-products, anyway, it cannot be allowed to rot.
As a result, the wine industry in Ming Dynasty flourished, but it was also monitored by the imperial court. The wine was drunk at a low level and sold to the court at a high level.
It is still separated from the exported spirits. The exported chili only exports chili powder and chili flakes. Although there are chili seeds that are inevitably obtained by foreigners, they don’t know how to farm. I still have to buy peppers from Daming.
Ketchup was also figured out, Wu Youwei was very happy about it, this stuff is sweet and sour, spread on steamed buns, children love it the most.
And Daming's vermicelli was also exported. Nomads eat more meat, but people also need vitamins.
Vermicelli is rich in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein, niacin, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and other minerals, which are very necessary for nomadic people who have been eating meat for a living.
So vermicelli has also become a special product of Ming Dynasty. As a specialty vermicelli, the frontier army made a fortune from the beginning. They exchanged a sack of vermicelli for a cow from foreigners!
So the vermicelli was extremely expensive from the very beginning, but this thing can still be stored for three to five years. Countless border merchants are selling vermicelli!
Soon, the vermicelli of Ming Dynasty began to circulate on the grassland.
The profit from selling vermicelli is huge, much better than risking your life to sell contraband.
There is another festival in autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival. The mid-autumn festival is so lively that everyone in the Hanlin Academy received imperial mooncakes from the emperor.
Everyone found out that the emperor paid a lot of attention to the Imperial Academy recently, and what he paid attention to was not the bachelors who often appeared in front of him, nor the bachelors who often appeared in front of him, but the people of the entire Imperial Academy!
Every time the reward goes on, even Quan Hanlin has it, and it is too difficult for them to pay attention to a certain person.
But later everyone knew that Wantong brought the second son of the emperor to Wu Maid's mansion to seek medical treatment and medicine, and the two lived next to each other.
Especially in Jinshi Lane, they all know the origin of the name.
It's just that I didn't expect Wantong to have such a good relationship with Maid Wu, and Maid Wu gave Wantong all the life-saving things.
That's what the Bai family said, but everyone knows that Maid Wu didn't give Wantong, but the second son of the emperor, and the emperor.
There are many nobles in Beijing, and there are many sick people. Everyone knows that Wu servant has medicine, but Wu Youwei is not disturbed because everyone is watching.
Only one family got the news, and they were very anxious. That was Duke Wei's mansion. Xu Kuibi, Xu Fu's only son, sought medical treatment in Beijing because of his poor health. I can't sit still.
Xu Fu can't go out casually, but his stepwife Mrs. Wang can.
So Mrs. Wang went to Beijing accompanied by her natal nephew. Xu Kuibi didn't expect his stepmother and stepmother's nephew to come. He planned to return to Nanjing, but this time he couldn't leave.
"I heard that there is a Hanlin named Wu servant who has a panacea in his hand that can bring people back to life?" Mrs. Wang explained her intentions as soon as she saw Xu Kuibi: "Your father attaches great importance to this matter. Follow me." Cheng Pengyun said from the side: "I have met Wu Maid a few times, and my cousin Yang Yiqing is in the same year as him." To be honest, he didn't expect his cousin and Wu Maid to be able to meet each other. They passed the exam together, and they were first graders in high school.He came because he had something to do.
Luo Lun and Luo Yingkui were in the south, and their Cheng family helped a lot, and one of his sisters was married to Luo Lun.
Now the Cheng family has also risen, and the third generation can also study for the imperial examination.
"The matter of Maid Wu is a bit complicated." Xu Kuibi said, "Many people in the capital know that he has a panacea in his hands, but...he saved the second son of the emperor. Who knows if he still has it? People who say this are uneasy kindly.
If he had it in hand, he would of course keep it for himself. After all, it was left for him by his master to save his life, so he must not give it away at will.
If you no longer have the medicine in your hand, and the only one is used by the second son, who can believe it?At that time, asking for medicine will not work, but will cause a lot of trouble.
So even though someone urged him to ask for medicine, he didn't go, and even stayed behind closed doors for several days, trying to figure out how to help Wu Youwei.
After all, we are all acquaintances, and his health has improved a lot. It is no problem to marry a wife and have children.
"I've booked you the daughter of the Zhang family, but I'm still worried..." Mrs. Wang thought for a while: "Why don't we meet? If our family can't get it, no one in Ming Dynasty can get the medicine except the royal family." .”
Mrs. Wang was still not reconciled, and she was also afraid that she would be reprimanded by the Duke when she returned home if she failed to do a good job.
Seeing that her stepmother insisted on this, Xu Kuibi didn't stop her, and it was useless to stop her. She could go if she wanted to. Anyway, she couldn't see Maid Wu, at most Cheng Pengyun would come forward.
Like Wei Guogong's mansion, there is also the British government's mansion.
Most of Yinggong's sons were killed in Tumubao. Only one son is still alive, and that is Zhang Lun's father Zhang Rui.
He has the same name as Yingzong's guard, but he has been in poor health recently. He invited the imperial physician to see him, and they all said...he will die soon.
As a son of man, Zhang Lun still has the impression that his father can live for many years, because how old is his grandfather?He is also in charge of the military affairs in the important areas of Gyeonggi.
Suddenly his father became seriously ill, and he was stunned!
However, the British Duke heard about Maid Wu, and immediately moved his mind. Fortunately, Zhang Lun saw it, and said to his grandfather directly: "Grandfather, let the grandson go.
"You?" The British public looked at him: "Oh, yes, you know that maid Wu."
"We did a small business together, have you forgotten? I mentioned it to you..." Zhang Lun gestured: "I made a lot of money! His foster brother is really capable.
The adopted brother was also taught by servant Wu. It is said that many people are now popular in keeping accounts like that.
"Yes, you've spent a lot of money at home." The British public looked at his son on the bed: "Go, it's best to get back the life-saving medicine...
In other high-ranking official residences, basically, this is the case. It is not someone's son, someone's old man, or even a wife who has not had children all year round. Since this medicine can save lives, maybe it can also Help pregnancy?
Wu Youwei didn't know that he was about to have a large number of distinguished guests, what was he doing?
He is faking it.
Yes, you are not mistaken!
He was just making a fake. He used big hawthorn pills as the outer skin, mixed spirit water and honey as the filling, and made a big hawthorn-flavored... toffee honey candy.
Wantong asked him to do this to fool people. If the emperor wants him to offer the elixir, he will give this to the emperor.
In order to ensure the spirituality of the spirit water, he used jade gourds carved from top-quality mutton fat white jade, each filled with ten pills, wrapped in beeswax and sealed for storage...
