"The advice given by the Logistics Department is to scrap it and recast it, or send it to the recruit camp to be used as a training tool."
"It is not recommended to continue using it in the military!"
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and then spoke.
"Just follow the advice of the Fifth Army Commander's Office!"
The reason why I did not choose to sell these scrapped artillery pieces was to raise funds.
That's because, for now, the artillery technology of the Liberation Army is ahead of the world.
If the scrapped artillery is sold, a large amount of money can indeed be recovered in a short period of time.
But it may cause technical leaks!
Let your enemies also obtain the Ming Dynasty’s artillery technology!
On the contrary, the gain outweighs the loss!
To put it bluntly, it is too advanced to be displayed in Versailles!
Wang Ruxian clasped his fists in agreement and then withdrew.
Zhu Hongyu rubbed his brows and continued to deal with government affairs, issuing orders one after another.
…
Zhu Hongyu put down the brush in his hand, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. When he looked at the sky outside, it was already dark.
He has been busy all day again!
Winter winter winter!
There was a knock on the door, and Li Lingxiu's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, I am here to bring you dinner!"
A smile was visible on Zhu Hongyu's face, and then he spoke.
"come in!"
With a creak, the door was pushed open. Li Lingxiu walked in front, followed by several maids, who carried food boxes in their hands.
Zhu Hongyu stood up from his chair, walked around the desk, and sat at the dining table.
Li Lingxiu took the food box, opened the lid, and put stacks of food on the table.
The staple food is a plate of scallion pancakes, in addition to four stir-fried dishes and a bowl of seafood porridge.
Four dishes, one soup, and one staple dish, very simple!
It's not even as good as some rich merchants, let alone the Manchu rulers who were so extravagant that they often had hundreds of dishes for a meal.
But Zhu Hongyu was very happy with this!
He is still in the entrepreneurial stage, but not to the point where he can enjoy it yet.
It’s also good to be frugal!
Li Lingxiu personally served Zhu Hongyu the porridge, and then placed the kuaizi spoon in his hand.
Zhu Hongyu gently sniffed the aroma of the food, and immediately moved his index finger.
He picked up the spoon and took a sip of the seafood porridge, and a burst of umami flavor exploded on his taste buds.
With his index finger twitching, Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and praised him heartily.
"Lingxiu, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Li Lingxiu smiled shyly and said.
"Your Highness, thank you!"
"Without the MSG invented by His Highness, I wouldn't be able to make such a delicious taste!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and took a big mouthful of food.
MSG is a white crystal extracted from kelp.
Whether it's stir-fry or soup, as long as you add a little bit, the taste will become delicious!
After MSG was invented, it was immediately popular among many people.
It is now one of the flagship products exported by the Liberation Army!
The selling price is about one tael of MSG and one tael of gold. The price is very expensive, but the sales volume is surprisingly good.
In this era, people's taste buds have not yet been harmed by industrial food!
The umami flavor brought by MSG is something that almost everyone can’t resist!
The feeling of the ultimate deliciousness blooming on the tip of the tongue is enough to make people addicted!
The price of one tael of gold and one tael of MSG is exaggerated for ordinary people.
But after MSG was invented, the consumer groups it targeted were not ordinary people, but the ruling classes of various countries around the world, such as kings, nobles, etc.
Zhu Hongyu positions MSG as a luxury product!
The label is the Ming Dynasty Royal Special!
For those in the ruling class, this price is really not expensive!
Since the invention of MSG, Zhu Hongyu also likes to add some MSG to his meals because it is really delicious.
As for saying that eating too much MSG can cause cancer...
that's not important!
Smoking is also harmful to health, drinking alcohol can easily lead to alcoholic liver disease, and chewing betel nut can easily lead to oral cancer...
Why don’t you just keep doing what you should do!
Zhu Hongyu glanced at Li Lingxiu and said.
"Lingxiu, please sit down and have something with me!"
Li Lingxiu shook her head and said.
"Your Highness, I have been feeling a little unwell lately and have no appetite!"
Zhu Hongyu frowned, as if he had discovered something, and asked.
"Didn't you have dinner?"
Li Lingxiu opened her mouth to say something, but Zhu Hongyu pretended to be angry.
"Don't deceive the emperor!"
When Li Lingxiu heard this, she pursed her lips, but she still explained honestly.
"I really have no appetite!"
Zhu Hongyu took a small bowl from the food box, filled most of the bowl of seafood porridge to Li Lingxiu himself, and said.
"You have to eat something even if you don't have an appetite!"
Seeing what Li Lingxiu wanted to say, Zhu Hongyu glared and said directly.
"Don't refuse, this is an order!"
Li Lingxiu sat down obediently and drank the porridge in small sips.
Suddenly, her expression changed, she got up from the chair, ran quickly to the flowerpot and retched.
When Zhu Hongyu saw this, he seemed to have guessed something, and calculated that the time was indeed right.
With a hint of joy on his face, he strode up to Li Lingxiu and patted her back gently.
Li Lingxiu looked a little ugly and said.
"Your Highness, I have lost my composure!"
Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and said.
"No problem!"
Then he turned to the maid and ordered.
"Go and ask the doctor to take a look!"
The maid took the order, and Zhu Hongyu helped Li Lingxiu to sit down at the table, whispering personal words to her.
Not long after, the doctor came!
Although the old doctor has gray hair, he is ruddy-skinned, energetic, and looks very good.
The old doctor's name is Hua Tai, and he claims to be a descendant of Hua Tuo, but there is no way to verify whether he is.
Now he serves as the president of Da Ming Tai Hospital. Although the old man looks like a fairy, he is harmless to humans and animals, and his medical skills are also very superb.
But this all shows that this old man is also a ruthless person!
It was he who presided over the work of allowing Spanish prisoners of war captured in the Battle of Luzon to contribute to the foundation of modern medicine.
Huatai respectfully stepped forward to check Li Lingxiu's pulse!
After a while, Hua Tai showed joy, stood up from his chair, bowed to Zhu Hongyu, and then spoke.
"Old minister, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Supervisor!"
"The princess is happy!"
Zhu Hongyu's suspicion was confirmed, and the smile on his face couldn't help but bloom, and he spoke.
"Is this true?"
The old doctor Hua Tai said in a very firm tone.
"How dare I joke with His Highness about this matter, Old Minister An?"
"The princess is now more than a month pregnant, and her pulse is very obvious!"
Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath, and a surge of joy that he was going to be a father instantly surged up and filled his brain.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Gu, Gu is going to be a father! Gu is going to be a father!"
Zhu Hongyu excitedly picked up Li Lingxiu and spun him around in circles.
Li Lingxiu gently patted Zhu Hongyu's arm and said softly.
"Your Highness, put me down quickly, Your Highness!"
"I feel dizzy!"
Before the army was about to leave, the princess became pregnant. This is really something worthy of special mention.
In this era where feudal superstition is prevalent, such an incident can greatly boost military morale!
Hua Tai saw Zhu Hongyu's gaffe and quickly left.
Zhu Hongyu was in a good mood and generously ordered rewards to be given to Huatai and everyone he could see around him.
On that day, the good news that the princess was happy spread throughout Luzon overnight!
…
Ahem, so what, I have something to do tomorrow, so I need to take a day off!
