"Have you become the leader, or have you become the leader?" Shangguan Qiji asked.
"Actually, Xiao Chen is the number one contributor to the recovery of Shunfeng City. This big guy knows it very well, so if we want to reward him based on his merits, it is not an exaggeration to grant Xiao Chen a title of one term, but he is a little eunuch, and he is the one to grant the title of Frontier
Being a high official is already a rare thing in ancient times, how can you be granted the title of marquis?"
"Then you, the governor, have become the leader." Shangguan Qiji said with a smile.
"I'm afraid that Li Wanjiang will change his mind and transfer me to Beijing." This is what Xiao Chen is worried about.
"Haha, you overworked during the battle and developed an old illness. Now you are bedridden. How can you enter the capital? This matter must also be written in the memorial. Don't forget it." Chen Jisheng said.
"Oh, it turns out that old age is still hot!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "I always forget that my body is not getting better, and my life is already on the verge of death..."
The Tianjin Army was formally established and joined the Yanyun Army. However, due to various restrictions, they cannot currently exist as an independent service. Instead, they are divided into two branches: the Sea and Sky Army and the Army and the Army, which are controlled by the Navy and the Army respectively.
Their main task is to assist in combat operations, but they also have other additional functions such as transportation, intelligence transmission, emergency rescue, etc.
After this actual battle, Dugulou fell in love with this novel military service. He placed an order for 500 pieces for Liu Fuhai and requested that they be delivered within half a year!
Liu Fuhai's legs went weak when he saw the order. Damn it, are you trying to force me to death?
Zhuge Xiaosheng opened his mouth and asked for a thousand. Li Tanhua, who was far away in Niutou Mountain, also heard about the awesomeness of the heavenly army. Pegasus sent a message and asked for a hundred. I don't know how to change thirty-six!
The most annoying thing is Kinoshita Yoshiro, who pesters him every day and begs him to help build a hundred as a gift to their Emperor Kamitasu... Fifty will do, twenty will do, ten will be enough, right?
I can’t rely on anyone!
This is a military product, you little devil, don’t you know?
It's okay if you want to steal military secrets, but I have no problem with my head!
You can go to our boss if you want. As long as he agrees, I will get a few for you.
Kinoshita Yoshiro had no choice but to shamelessly come to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen said that although Kinoshita-kun and I are as close as brothers, I really can't agree to your unreasonable request!
Kinoshita Yoshiro was frustrated, and Kudo Nako came to Xiao Chen again to give her a hard time, and Xiao Chen reluctantly agreed to give her some thought...
I went back to find Liu Fuhai and told him that he could just build a few to deal with the little devils, as long as they could fly, but the specific structure... Hehe, Fuhai, you know.
Of course Liu Fuhai understands, but who understands if he doesn’t?
But I also have a condition!
Unless Nako Kudo pledges herself to you, boss, I forgive you, brother, for not obeying your orders.
Just asking where can you find a good brother like Fuhai?
However, the manufacturing technology of hot-air balloons has now reached maturity and can be mass-produced, so Liu Fuhai does not need to worry too much. He is now focusing on the new topic of researching cans.
Canned food is very common in modern times, but in Xiao Chen's era, it is an emerging thing. There are many problems that need to be overcome. Just making the thin iron sheet for can packaging took Liu Fuhai a lot of effort, and also
It needs to be stamped and formed, the air inside needs to be extracted, and it needs to be sealed...
But Liu Fuhai was really powerful. With Xiao Chen's guidance and his subordinates' brainstorming, it only took him a month to create the first batch of several hundred experimental products.
There are two varieties, one is canned apples with sugar water, and the other is canned beef.
After tasting it, everyone applauded loudly. This thing has a unique flavor. The apples are crisp, sweet, and fragrant.
The sugar water inside can not only quench thirst, but also supplement the sugar the body needs, and sugar itself contains a pleasant element.
The beef is glutinous but not loose, soft but not rotten, and full of sauce flavor. It is as delicious as a delicacy!
Regardless of taste, from a scientific perspective, almost all sweets can stimulate the human brain to secrete dopamine and endorphins, and these two substances can regulate emotions and make people feel happy.
Not only that, in terms of human body functions, sugar will cause insulin to increase rapidly, and insulin will decrease the concentration of two elements, tyrosine and phenylalanine, in the blood, thus giving tryptophan a competitive advantage.
And it enters the cells and is converted into serotonin, which enters the brain and makes people energetic.
This is particularly important for soldiers who are under great pressure during combat.
Therefore, sugar has been an important strategic material over the years. Even in modern times, sugar was still rationed. It was not until now that sugar production technology was sufficiently developed that it was fully liberalized for private supply.
Canned beef tastes salty and has a thick layer of butter on it, which not only replenishes the body's salt ions, but also provides huge calories and rich protein.
This is also extremely important for soldiers. Since ancient times, soldiers’ food has always been salty and fatty, so they can be more energetic!
Xiao Chen's original idea of designing cans was specifically for soldiers, and they would only be sold externally when the soldiers had sufficient rations.
But the most important thing about canned food is not its taste, but its ability to be stored for a long time. Therefore, Liu Fuhai's batch of experimental products can only be considered a half-success. It will take time to verify how long they can last.
Xiao Chen couldn't wait that long. Based on his judgment, this kind of food that had been steamed, sterilized, and sealed could be stored for at least one year under better storage conditions.
If dried meat, bacon, smoked fish, salted fish, preserved fruits, dried vegetables, dried flour cakes, bean cakes, and other foods that are inherently non-perishable can be canned and stored in a cool cellar, not only will the taste be relatively better, but also the food will taste better.
In theory, it can even be stored for ten years without deterioration!
Now that the taste is acceptable, we can mass-produce it, test it, improve it, and sell it without any delay.
Almost all fruits can be canned, including apples, peaches, oranges, pineapples, pears, hawthorns...even bananas and watermelons.
Almost all meats can also be made into cans. Beef, horse meat, pork, chicken, and even wild boar, venison, deer meat, and robed meat can all be canned.
Now that Shunfeng Port has been recaptured, fishermen can freely go out to sea to fish, so there is still a large amount of sea fish that can be canned.
But under the current conditions, even Liu Fuhai cannot create a machine assembly line. Many steps can only be completed manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
But Xiao Chen feels that this is not a problem. Although manual manufacturing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost has also increased greatly, it can solve the employment problem of some people.
This is actually a disguised form of benefiting the people, but it is still cost-effective when considering the overall situation.
The cannery can still be regarded as Xiao Chen's private property, because Chen Jisheng refused to contribute money at the beginning, and all the investments were made by him personally.
But he never thought it was his own, and always regarded it as the public property of Yanyun County...
