"Brother!" Sheila shouted in surprise.

Ciscilius stood straight and just saluted Sheila. Sheila then remembered that she was in the army rather than at home. There were several legion commanders in front of her, and her brother appeared as a legion representative at this time.

Compared with the army judges, the commander of the legion has a higher status. Ciscilius stood at the six legion commanders, and the general in the west was the general. The general said: "Hisa, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

The soldiers and the veterans sat down at the long table, and seven soldiers sat on one side, and Sheila sat on the other side. After the general sat down, he introduced seven people. They came from various military regions in the west, and the Western military regions had contacted each other in this situation. Sheila simply said hello: "Everyone, I am a member of the agricultural group of the Senate."

This introduction made Sheila feel very stupid, but sometimes etiquette itself looks a bit stupid. As a conventional thing, etiquette talks about universality rather than flexibility. After introducing each other, the general spoke, "His Excellency Sheila, do you think you are more reliable than Yuan?"

Sheila was stunned. The question was really strange. She felt relieved after thinking about it a little. The Yuan Dynasty was once the largest food supplier of the Eastern Roman Legion, and it also completely changed the political situation and even social form of Eastern Roman. Without the Yuan Dynasty, there would be no current situation of the Eastern Roman Empire. However, the food supply of the Yuan Dynasty is no longer reliable. I think what the general said is this.

"God General, the raw materials for making malt sugar come completely from Eastern Rome. I already have a stable supplier and a stable producer. If you are worried about malt sugar, I can make sure to you that even if there is a problem with a certain supplier, it will not affect the supply of malt sugar."

After receiving a clear answer, the General nodded slightly. He continued: "To be honest with Mr. Sishira, we have all received a telegram from the General of the Ankara Military Region, saying that the army officers and soldiers have a very good evaluation of malt sugar. The price is very cheap, and the recipes provided by His Excellency Xira have also helped a lot. So the general in the east is very worried that if the supply of malt sugar is suddenly interrupted, he will definitely not be able to bear it."

"I can be sure there will be no problem with the supply," responded Sheila.

"The Yuan Dynasty also promised this way."

Sheila frowned slightly, she didn't understand what the general meant. Fortunately, Sheila learned communication training during her several years in the office. To put it bluntly, it was to try to figure out what the other party wanted. The office's method was simple and crude, and it was to try to ask clearly. Sheila asked a question straightforwardly: "How much do I have to do to reassure the Legion?"

The general replied cheerfully: "We hope to send representatives in the workshop where malt sugar is made, and we also send representatives in the places where the materials are provided to His Excellency Sheila."

Sheila felt a sudden heart, and her first thought was that the Legion wanted to produce malt sugar by itself after learning the production methods, right?

"His Excellency Sheila, our army can no longer bear any turmoil." The general continued: "This time the general of the Eastern Theater Command said in the telegram that the reason why he did not agree to purchase malt sugar was not because malt sugar was bad, but because it was too good. If it was the period when the food supply was stable in the past, he would have signed a contract with you that day. Now he does not have the courage to sign a contract. Can you understand?"

Sheila felt that she understood. When she ate malt sugar for the first time, she almost ate her stomach and felt uncomfortable for several days. This experience only made Sheila no longer eat this sweet food uncontrollably, but it did not affect Sheila's love for this sweet food. So Sheila tried to ask: "Your Excellency thinks that the sudden cut off the supply will make the legion unable to bear it?"

"The Legion can no longer bear any disappointment. If we do it again, we don't know what the Legion soldiers will do. If His Excellency Sheila cannot make us believe in the supply of malt sugar, we may have to refuse you." The general's voice had regrets, but more firmness.

Several thoughts flew into Sheila's mind, basically very positive thoughts. Sheila stabilized her emotions before continuing to ask: "Can I think malt sugar is very popular in the army?"

Such a little girl's question made the general and the commander of the legion couldn't help laughing. The first half was funny, and the second half was bitter. The general really didn't want to answer this joyful question. A commander of the legion next to him couldn't help it. He sighed: "Hisa, there are already many people in the Eastern Legion who fell ill because of eating too much malt sugar. The person with the most serious illness ate all the portions for a month in less than two days. Therefore, the Eastern Military Region has ordered that no longer be rationed monthly, but rather daily."

"If you eat too much, you will get sick, so I will explain it clearly first." Sheila quickly made a statement on the products she represented.

"We are not accusing His Excellency Sheila." The commander of the legion had to answer this serious and ridiculous question head-on. The generals of the eastern part complained a lot in the telegram, but he had no choice but to make the generals of the western part laugh after reading it, and then they couldn't laugh.

According to the traditional solution, when the demand cannot be met, we should settle for the second best. Sheila's solution has gone beyond the tradition. Isn't enough to eat enough? Come on, I'll give you good things that I couldn't afford before! The soldiers are of course very happy. They eat sweet candy and their stomachs are not so hungry and their moods are getting better. But the generals have to consider more. When the supply of sugar is interrupted, what better thing can these generals come out to deal with the anger of the soldiers? Sheila may have a way, but the generals do not have the ability of Sheila.

After serious and serious discussion, the generals made a decision. The Yuan Dynasty's decision was inseparable from the generals, and Sheila's decision was insulting by the generals. Originally, a military judge should not have attended such a meeting from his level to his position, so the generals decided to let Cicelius attend the meeting. Everyone also clearly told Cicelius that his task was to persuade his sister at a critical moment.

Just when everyone felt that Sheila seemed to be trapped in all kinds of strange thoughts from the little girl, she heard Sheila say, "Your Excellency, can I believe you won't imitate malt sugar?"

The general was a little surprised when he talked about this issue so quickly. To be honest, the generals had not thought about learning the craftsmanship of producing malt sugar directly, so that the Legion would no longer have to worry about the problem of supply cuts. However, the Legion also understood that this was impossible and no one would give up this secret craft. The general replied: "Please rest assured, we are just sending representatives to determine the stability of the supply, not sending people to secretly learn your craft."

"God General, I am not referring to this. I mean, I want to ask the Legion to send people to produce, but the malt sugar produced by the Legion can only be supplied to the Legion and the family members, and cannot be sold. The Legion cannot leak out the craftsmanship you know of to produce malt sugar. In this matter, I ask the Legion to sign an agreement with the guarantee of the court."

The venue fell into silence in an instant. After a while, the general suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, your priest, haha. Your priest, are you kidding?"

Of course Sheila was not kidding. This was what the senior director of the office, Li Natural and Director Xin, said to Sheila in person. Sheila's reaction at that time was similar to that of the general. Li Natural did not laugh. He said calmly: "You have been in the province for so long, and you must know that the province has too many good things that are no less than malt sugar."

Hearing this, Sheila stopped laughing. Among the many abilities in the province, malt candy is just a very ordinary skill. Li Nan continued: "Compared with trust, malt candy is nothing at all. Just let the army produce malt candy to gain the trust of the army. This business makes a lot of money. Not to mention that we did not let the army monopolize the business itself, let alone any losses."

Sheila thought for a long time before she understood the key here. When she saw the general's reaction was similar to that of her at the beginning, Sheila felt that the chance of success was nearly 100%. Before attending the meeting, Sheila also thought about "at a meeting without a brother to appear" and mentioned that her brother was closer to her relationship with the legion. Later, she rejected this idea herself. Now that her brother has been pulled, Sheila said: "You all know my brother now. I have to say, I have feelings for the legion. Of course, I don't want Mattang to lose money, and I have never thought of making a big profit from the legion through Mattang.

I asked me several times, will I lose money if I sell the price. I just wondered how to make everyone understand that what I care most about now is the army to overcome difficulties together. The court stipulated that the army was not allowed to do business, and this time, Your Excellency Tiberio emphasized this matter again. So what I thought of was what I just said that the army and I signed an agreement under the witness of the court, and the army sent people to build a malt sugar production factory. Those who participated in the factory on the side of the army could get production wages, and other raw materials were issued by the court. The court sent people to the factory to supervise the production. When the army bought malt sugar, they could get another discount..."

The general interrupted Sheila's quick speech, "His Excellency Sheila, please wait a moment, can you speak slowly?"

Sheila understood that the Legion generals were very excited at this time, so she simply asked everyone to take a break first. The Legion generals immediately went out collectively on the grounds of going to the toilet, while Sheila tried her best to calm down. She did not expect happiness to come so suddenly, and she had to comfort her intense emotions so that she could say less wrong things in the future.

An hour later, the generals of the Legion that had been discussed in the room next to come back to continue their memories. Unexpectedly, everyone felt the urge to pee at the beginning of the meeting, and went out to the toilet together. After discussing for one day, the generals understood Sheila's design and then went off for two days. They used this time to send telegrams to the various legions, and finally reached an intention with Sheila.

The meeting lasted for four days, and Sheila did not go to see her brother Cicelius alone. She understood that it was not the time. After the talk, Sheila returned to Constantinople and gave her brother a big hug before leaving. It made her brother feel embarrassed and said helplessly to her sister who was holding her, "Shila, you are no longer a child."

Sheila had just returned to Constantinople, and representatives from the eastern and western legions also arrived in Constantinople. The military ministers, the interior ministers, the finance ministers and the capital of the Patriarch attended the meeting. With great figures, the meeting went very smoothly. In front of the capital, the army signed an agreement with Sheila.

These Eastern Romans did not know that the Zhao official in the Song Dynasty took out the knowledge and technology he had personally shared with society, which promoted the passage of the Song Dynasty's technological patent law, the Song Dynasty's scientific and technological achievements transformation system and the Song Dynasty's political correctness of "seeking progress". For Eastern Romans, it was rare for individuals to give up their monopoly of some kind of "secret techniques" and let these secret techniques serve more people, let alone the sharer actually thought it was a veteran. Under normal circumstances, it should be noble people who seized the technology of the poor and let later monopolize the technology to make huge profits for themselves. The Patriarch couldn't help but praise Sheila's morality after signing the contract.

Sheila stood up and nodded to everyone, and then said, "Everyone, I am not such a noble person. Whenever I think of my brother, I will think of the legion, and when I see the legion, I will think of my brother. In my feeling, the legion is the same as my brother. When the family encounters difficulties, we have to help each other. Now when the legion is in trouble, how can I stand by? Let me lie on the legion and suck blood again, that is absolutely unacceptable. It is against my conscience. So please don't praise me too much, because I am not a saint. I just want to overcome difficulties with my relatives."

The Patriarch's words before only made everyone smile politely. After Sheila said that, at least the expression of the Legion General became serious. The general representing the East and West Military Regions did not speak, but just came over to shake hands with Sheila. Perhaps they were sincere and had the grip of Sheila's hands hurt.

Sheila's mother thought that her daughter would stay at home for a few days when she came back this time, so she was going to recommend several suitors to her daughter. The big family is very realistic. No matter how interesting a comprador in the Europa Province is, it will only make everyone value her wealth. The reason why the Leo family married Claycius was not Sheila, but because the teacher of Officer Cicelius was the famous scholar His Excellency Tiberius, and the Sheila family also had a house that was considered the lowest standard in the eyes of the great nobles.

The great nobles did not think that Sheila could be re-elected, but becoming even a veteran means that Sheila has equal dignity with the big family, even if this veteran was born in a small noble family. Marrying a woman with a noble status to his children is the choice of the great nobles to succeed.

Unexpectedly, after attending the meeting chaired by the ministers, his daughter started packing her luggage again. Seeing her daughter rushing to the hall with simple luggage like a rabbit, Sheila's mother could only sigh in her heart. At this time, the one who was waiting for Sheila at the door was no longer the guards, but the soldiers of the army.

The supply of food has not improved particularly, and it is still the same as last year's coarse grains, but it only maintains enough portions. Half a month after Sheila left, some content was added to the list of family members of the Legion. Matsage is one of them, and several kitchen utensils that can better handle pumpkins and potatoes. In addition, there are Legion recipes. Every month the Legion will provide the Legion family with the latest monthly recipes, and the Legion suggestions are also written on the recipe. If the Legion family members have a better way to cook food, please contribute to everyone. The Legion will publish a booklet at the end of each year to summarize the recipes. Those selected recipes will indicate which family members provide them, and the Legion recipes will be permanently marked.

The next month, Sheila's mother saw that several new dishes appeared on the new Legion recipe. Seeing that such a rough technique could be used to climb the Legion recipe issued to millions of people, Sheila's mother was so angry that she came. Sheila's mother didn't sleep well for two nights and lay in bed thinking about it. After repeated trials in the kitchen, Sheila's mother also wrote two recipes to the Legion responsible for the Constantinople.

On the day when her daughter Sheila returned home after two months of going out, Sheila's mother proudly handed the three-page legion recipe to her daughter. For decades, this is the first signed content published by Sheila's mother in her name nationwide. Listening to her daughter's surprise cheers and congratulations, Sheila's mother snorted proudly, "Hmph! It's pitiful, pitiful. Those ragged recipes dare to teach so many people. The family of the Legion is so pitiful! By the way, how are you doing when you've been outside for two months?"

"It's done." Sheila replied calmly, her tone was exhausted.

At this time, Sheila's father also arrived at the living room. Looking at the recipe in his children, Sheila's father sighed: "Oh... Sheila, your mother hasn't been asleep for two days since she got this Legion recipe. She is already the one who writes books, and I can't compare to it."

"Tsk!" Sheila's mother rolled her husband proudly, then picked up the Legion recipe that touched the corners of the paper industry and turned to the page that recorded the content of her recipe and started reading again.

Sheila noticed that her father secretly made a gesture to her, and looked up and found that there was an extra frame on the wall of her home. It was not a painting, but another brand new Legion recipe. She grinned and understood how excited her mother had been in the past two days. Then she heard her father ask, "Shila, how are you doing?"

"It's done. I don't want to talk anymore." Sheila replied tiredly.

"You... are you willing to forget what you have done?" Sheila's father asked.

Seeing that his father was feeling emotion, Sheila asked in confusion: "Why do you ask like this?"

Sheila's father wanted to say it but didn't say it out. Eastern Roman scholars all like Greek philosophy very much. Some of them think that it's good to forget what has been done, because if you indulge in the past, you can't continue to challenge the future. The reason is not difficult to understand, and there are very few people who can do it. How can a person have so many futures to face? If you can accomplish something and keep it, you are already a very powerful person.

Seeing that her daughter was able to survive challenges again and again, she was still challenging new possibilities. Sheila's father found that she did not want to tell this idea. Because the idea was to summarize what happened in the past, and what her daughter now had is an infinite future. Let her continue to move forward according to her own ideas. This is also Sheila's father's expectation for her daughter.

In the office, Li Natural and Director Xin did not expect the future. They were living in a busy current. The malt sugar factory has entered a period of stable production and has also made a steady stream of money for the European province. Since the technicians were sent by the Song Dynasty, the Eastern Roman court and the Eastern Roman Legion naturally understood that the cooperation partner was not just the Senate of Sheila. This instead relieved their suspicion of Sheila. If the malt sugar production was completed by Sheila alone, this little girl would be too terrible.

The office discussed with the important officials of the Eastern Roman court based on this entry point. With the consensus that "the money from Eastern Roman must be kept in Eastern Roman territory", the office obtained a license to open a money house. There are two types of currency for the money house to operate, including Eastern Roman grain stamps and Sifang Money Exchange.

In the past two months, all the senators of the Senate have put forward their opinions on hot topics. Since Sheila, who led the issue, is not there, the senators have proposed new proposals every day. The two top officials of the office initially read each proposal, but they gave up a few days later. Spending time on looking at such nonsense proposals is really murdering lives.

While drinking tea while they were busy, the two mentioned that Sheila had ended her trip, and then they talked about the content of Legion recipes becoming more and more abundant. Is it possible to turn Legion recipes into newspapers?

"League Recipe News? Haha!" After saying this imagined name, Director Xin couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha." Senior Li Natural was also amused by the name, but he continued, "Isn't it better to call the Legion to report."

This name is much more serious and simple and easy to understand. Just by looking at the name, you can know the background of the newspaper and its target audience. After all, this is a private matter in Eastern Rome. Two senior officials from the Europa Province in the Song Dynasty just used this as a topic of conversation to adjust their mood. They did not know that ten years later, this matter really became a fact. The leaflet, which was originally just to provide food services, gradually thickened, from one page to four pages, and three to one page to two pages. Finally, it turned into a brochure with a little thickness. In the end, this thing was divided into two, "Legislative Recipe" became a monthly magazine, and "Legislative News" became a daily newspaper, leading the field of news and information in Eastern Rome for a long time. At that time, Li Natural and Director Xin had already returned to the Song Dynasty.

"I think it is really a contribution to Director Xie's cultivation." Director Xin, who did not imagine the future, sighed. Although he supported Yelu Hong, he still couldn't help but praise Xie Songlai.

Li Natural smiled and said, "As long as there is a comprador business, there will be Dongla, Nanla and Beila without Sheila. But this little girl has performed very well. Director Xin, haven't many people come to seek comprador positions recently?"
Chapter completed!
