A censor in charge of supervising the Ministry of War came up and asked in a low voice: "You said that Liao will be restored in five years. Why do you dare to say that?"
When people ask him, it is his duty, and it is unacceptable not to answer.
I asked him in a low voice to save him face and prevent him from being unable to step down.
As a result, Yuan Chonghuan rolled his eyes and said to himself, who do you think he is? Restoring the Liao Dynasty in five years is the plan I discussed with the emperor. Can you tell me?
The censor knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression.
Looked at him coldly.
Yuan Chonghuan said perfunctorily: "I see that Your Majesty is anxious, so I just want to comfort you."
The censor became anxious and said loudly: "Although I am young today, I am very wise. Now if you fool him like this, you will not be able to fulfill your promise. Will you be punished?"
Yuan Chonghuan was speechless and simply ignored him.
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. Your Majesty does believe it." The censor snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Half an hour later, Chongzhen drove back.
During this time, he obviously not only went out to worship, but also had something to eat.
The ministers also rested for an hour. Although they were also very hungry, they could only endure it normally.
But this time is obviously different.
As soon as the emperor left, a group of young eunuchs came over pushing some silver-white carts.
The ministers were all excited.
"Instant noodles, these are instant noodles." Immediately, the knowledgeable ministers whispered.
"What are instant noodles? I have only eaten braised noodles and clear soup noodles. I have never heard of instant noodles." Some ministers asked in a low voice.
"You're so old-fashioned, you don't even know this. It's the kind of noodles sold in Xinghe Supermarket for one tael of silver per pack. It can be eaten in just a moment after being brewed with boiling water." Of course, some of them have eaten it before.
The veteran said proudly.
"It will be cooked by brewing it with boiling water, but it won't be a paste." Some people were dumbfounded.
"No, if you don't believe me, look, this is a gift from His Majesty. You can get it as soon as you brew it."
The eunuchs said loudly: "Seeing everyone's hard work, His Majesty specially gave each of the adults a bucket of instant noodles, selected in order of rank."
Regardless of whether they understood what it was or not, all the ministers bowed and saluted and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
"Mr. Huang, you choose first." The little eunuch pushed the cart and approached Huang Li and said flatteringly.
Huang Liji smiled, but he was not humble. After all, he was the chief assistant. If he was polite here, the people below would have to wait and they would all be hungry.
"What kind of dishes are there this time? Last time I had shrimp and fish noodles."
"Sir, you see, this bucket is a new variety. There is only one box for trial use. The palace has not yet decided whether to purchase it or not. This one is called Chicken Stewed Mushroom Noodles." The little eunuch enthusiastically recommended.
"Well, I haven't eaten this before, so this is it."
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be ready soon."
Yuan Chonghuan opened his eyes wide and looked at these things he had never seen before. The first thing that caught his eye were these small carts. There were four small wheels at the bottom. The wheel axles could rotate in all directions and be pushed in any direction. It was really amazing.
And this material is also strange, silvery white and sparkling, almost like a mirror, it can reflect a clear figure. It looks like a steel material, but it is polished so delicately.
The car has a layer of iron plates every one foot, almost as thin as thick paper, and polished enough to make people's silhouettes shine through. I don't know how it was made.
This is good steel. Wouldn't it be beautiful if it could be made into armor?
Some carts have buckets of instant noodles. The packaging is colorful, obviously marking different types.
Some cars were all equipped with kettles made of the same material and steel. He knew this. The high-end inn where he stayed was equipped with high-end guest rooms. These were called thermos bottles.
Inside is a glass liner.
At that time, he was speechless with excitement, it was so expensive.
The inns in the capital are not comparable to those in Guangzhou.
He came to apply for the job of the second-grade Inspector Ji Liao. Naturally, the eunuchs were eye-catching, and soon it was his turn to choose.
He was dazzled by what he saw, and it was a little difficult to make a choice. These buckets seemed to be made of paper, with a layer of transparent glue on the outside, and there were words printed on them, but they were missing pens and scratches. Many of them were unknown. They seemed to be Chinese characters, but they seemed not to be.
, some are like the abbreviations used by the common people.
The team was led by Shuangxi's little father-in-law who was beside the Queen. Seeing that Mr. Yuan had some difficulty in choosing, he recommended: "You are from Cantonese and you are not used to spicy food, so you don't have to choose these."
As he said that, he took away some of the red-colored packages, and then took them over because the packages looked quite elegant. He said, "This shrimp and fish noodles are pretty good. How about you try it, sir?"
Yuan Chonghuan nodded and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
For officials below the third rank, the eunuchs did not let them choose. They were given whatever they wanted. It was these adults who chose what was left.
They didn't dare to have any objections, after all, the official rank was here. They were usually reluctant to buy this thing, and a bucket cost one or two silver. If it weren't for a working meal, who would be willing to spend this money.
I heard that nowadays, those adults in high positions sometimes drink a bucket of water after working late and are hungry. It is really not something that the petty officials of Qingshui Yamen can enjoy. They are very happy to eat some, and they dare to choose.
Picky.
After a while, the noodles brewed with boiling water were served to all the adults.
Yuan Chonghuan smelled it first, um, it smells so good!
At this time, I felt hungry in my belly and immediately started eating.
Yuan Chonghuan realized that this instant noodles was actually very suitable for use in the military. As long as there was water, just boil it. It really lived up to the word "convenient" in its name.
But when I thought about the price, I sighed and had to give it up.
There was a smell of instant noodles on the platform, and many of the little eunuchs who were waiting couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They are not eligible to eat.
The little father-in-law of Shuangxi looked at these adults, slurping down their noodles, and felt a little nostalgic for the good days when Xinghe Tuanlian was stationed in the palace.
At that time, every day after finishing errands, you could go to the Qianqing Palace Square to get a meal, including one meat and two vegetables, as well as some egg drop soup.

The boss is very experienced, and he always feels proud when he makes a meal.
They also gave me various supplies distributed in the palace. I resold them and made a lot of money. During that time, I also gave a lot of money to visitors from the countryside in Baoding.
Both sisters have their dowries, and both of them married into good families, and built brick houses for their families. The younger brother also got a wife, and this year gave birth to a fat boy.
Now that there is a baby in the family, I can finally live up to my ancestors. Alas!
His Majesty is back, and everyone stands at attention again.
Yuan Chonghuan knew at this time that the governor of Jiliao was a sure shot.
However, Haikou was exaggerating, and he himself knew that restoring Liaoning in five years was impossible.
He had just been thinking about how this matter could be rectified.
"My dear friends, have you all eaten?" Chongzhen asked in a showy manner.
The palace bought the goods from Xinghe Supermarket, which cost one penny per bucket. He understood in his heart how Yang Fan dared to make money from him and entertain the ministers with such good things. He felt that Beier had face.
"I'm full. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the food." All the ministers raised their hands in thanks.
Everyone even drank the soup. Now they were sweating slightly on their foreheads and felt warm all over. Everyone was satisfied.
"Yuan Aiqing just said that Liao will be restored in five years. I am very relieved. In more than ten years, this is the first time that a minister is willing to share the country's worries and has the courage to do his job." Chongzhen said with emotion.
"It takes five years to conquer Liaodong. This is the best plan to pacify Liao. If you, my dear, can restore Liao in five years, I, I will make you a marquis," Chongzhen said through gritted teeth.
His Majesty really believed it, and even said what the Marquis said. Yuan Chonghuan suddenly felt chills all over his body. At this time, what he hoped most was that your Majesty would not take it seriously. The more serious your Majesty was, the more uneasy he became.
Yuan Chonghuan said quickly: "Your Majesty left in a hurry just now, and I didn't finish what I said."
Chongzhen was a little displeased with him for interrupting him. Hearing his words, he frowned again. What does this mean? Are there any conditions that you just said can't be met?
But he refrained from saying anything and instead listened to see what Yuan Chonghuan meant.
