Li Tai immediately jumped to his feet and shouted, "No! I have no money!"
Zhang Yang sighed: "Your Highness, King Wei, I haven't said what the problem is yet, why are you so impatient."
"I am so anxious! I have no money anyway!"
"This is not about money, this is about the future Turkic situation."
"I just drank a few bowls of milk tea. What does it have to do with the Turks? Don't think that because I am young, I am easy to do things in the lake." Li Tai stepped back step by step, turned around to run, and found that no matter how hard he ran, he was still in the same place.
He looked down and saw that his feet were already in the air, and looked back to see that it was Zhang Yang who was carrying him.
"Let me go." Li Tai said aggrievedly.
"It's weird, His Royal Highness, King Wei, has to hurry up and lose weight." Zhang Yang carried the fat little Li Tai back to the waterside pavilion.
Li Tai looked at Zhang Yang's smile and backed away step by step, "I have no money. I really have no money."
Zhang Yang smiled and asked, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, do you think the milk tea tastes good?"
Li Tai hugged the pillar and was about to cry. "It tastes good, but I have no money! I really have no money."
Zhang Yang sat down again, "If you want to drink milk tea for a long time, the transportation and preservation of goat milk is a difficult problem. Turkic herdsmen have many cows and sheep that can produce milk."
Li Tai was still holding the pillar and looked at Zhang Yang with aggrieved eyes. No matter how much money he earned, he could not satisfy this man's appetite. Zhang Yang was a gluttonous beast. He spent all the money he finally earned.
Zhang Yang shook the goat milk in the jar, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, have you seen the foam floating on the milk? This can actually be made into milk powder. Milk powder is easier to preserve and transport. It can be made by brewing milk powder."
milk tea."
"No money!" Li Tai shouted, "If you come here again, I will jump into Qujiang Pool."
Zhang Yang was still sitting, "If we can use economic means to tie down the Turks, reduce their military strength, turn the Turks into milk workers, and make them work nine times a day, then this will not be a great contribution to the country."
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
Li Tai blinked.
Zhang Yang was worried, "I want to try the method of making milk powder first."
Li Tai finally let go of Zhu Zhu, "What did you just say?"
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "I said I wanted to try how to make milk powder."
"No, it's the previous sentence, which is that it has contributed to the country?"
"That's right. If the Turks can be restrained, does His Highness the King of Wei know the story of Qi Wan and Lu Jin?"
"I've heard of it."
"That's it, will His Highness the King of Wei do this deal or not?"
Li Tai still doesn't know much about state affairs, and he only roughly understands its meaning. "Even if we do business with the Turks, is there any big use?"
"Keep prices down and use them for heavy taxes. When they run out of money, they use war horses to offset the taxes."
"Still don't understand." Li Tai shook his head.
Zhang Yang patiently explained some economic knowledge to Li Tai.
I have read books by sages and heard some knowledge since I was a child. What Li Tai told Zhang Yang was shocking. It turns out that business can still be done like this.
"There used to be a girl who bought melons from a melon farmer, but the melon farmer said that the melons were not yet ripe, and the farmer was willing to sell them to him at a lower price. But the child said that after paying the money, the melons would belong to her, and when the melons were ripe
I came to pick it up, and she only used three pennies to buy a ten-cent melon."
Li Tai thought about this story and what Zhang Yang had said before.
"This story seems to be just a joke, or just a clever trick of the girl, but if this method is used to use the business in a larger area, will there be better gains?"
Li Tai covered his forehead and said, "Wait a minute and let me think about it carefully."
Zhang Yang looked at the scenery of Qujiang Pool.
Li Tai was trying hard to digest this, thinking about some things he encountered in daily life, and slowly comparing this little story.
After a while, Li Tai slapped the table and said, "Well, your surname is Zhang, what a powerful method!"
Zhang Yang hit Li Tai on the head violently, "I am your brother-in-law."
Li Tai said aggrievedly, "Yes, brother-in-law!"
"Want to get rich?"
"think."
"The money you earn now is from small things, but you can earn more money in the future."
"Yes, more money."
"Big business!"
"Yes, a big cause!" Li Tai nodded vigorously.
After planning with Li Tai for a while, although he felt bad about spending money, Li Tai's eyes were full of fighting spirit. What's the point of doing this small business? If you want to do it, do big business! Do big business that can help the country.
A bucket of goat's milk was placed in front of Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo looked at the bucket of milk and said, "I don't know how to drink milk. I won't drink it at all."
Zhang Yang put the lid on and tied the bucket with a rope. Brother Chu Mo shook it.
"Shaking?"
"Yes, rock up, down, left and right, in whatever position you want."
Cheng Chumo picked up the bucket of goat milk and kept shaking it up and down.
Zhang Yang said again: "Hurry up and use all your strength."
"good!"
Cheng Chumo shouted loudly, and started shaking up and down, left and right, and even spinning in circles while jumping and shaking.
It took him half an hour, until he himself was tired, and then he stopped.
"Let it go, that's all."
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo put down the bucket and lay weakly on the ground.
Li Tai praised: "Chu Mo is so strong that such a heavy bucket of milk can shake for so long."
Cheng Chumo only had the strength to breathe.
Seeing that Li Tai showed no signs of stomachache, it seemed that there was no big problem in doing this for milk tea.
After this bucket of goat's milk had been left standing for half an hour, there was a layer of foam on it.
Taking out a bowl of foam, Zhang Yang placed it in the sun to simmer.
The three of them were eating hot pot and chatting by the Qujiang Pond. Li Tai enjoyed a sip of milk tea and a bite of meat.
The bowl of milk foam had dried up. Zhang Yang picked up some and it was still wet, lacking the drying process.
But I finally figured out the trick to milk powder. The process also requires high-temperature sterilization and drying, so it’s not a big problem.
Li Tai returned to the palace and made a cup of milk tea with his own hands, "Father, please use it."
"Tea and milk? Mixed together? What a weird way to drink it."
The milk tea Li Tai made for his father was a deluxe version, with a lot of dried fruit pieces added, dried chrysanthemums and some cooked red beans.
Li Shimin took a sip. It tasted strange because there were many things added to it. After another sip, he found it tasted delicious.
"This is a method that Zhang Yang figured out." Li Tai pressed Li Shimin's shoulder, "Father, this Zhang Yang spends all day away from doing business and thinks about these things to eat every day. It's really abominable."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "It is no small feat to be able to capture the Hexi Corridor without any bloodshed. He is also the minister of the Ministry of Rites. You should learn from him. You don't need to learn from him for other playful skills."
"My son understands."
Li Shimin took another sip of milk tea, "What have you and him been doing recently? I heard that you have almost used up all the money in Prince Wei's palace?"
His father's information was really well-informed. Li Tai smiled and said, "It's not Zhang Yang who wants to buy tea. He has already used it to buy tea."
"No wonder Lu Zhaolin went to buy tea and found that all the tea in Chang'an City was sold out. It is no longer available these days. It was Lu Zhaolin who wanted to ask for tea production methods, but was kicked out by Zhang Yang."
"Is this happening?" Li Tai was a little surprised.
With such a son-in-law, Li Shimin was worried and helpless. He was somewhat capable in terms of ability, but when it came to being a good person and doing things, this boy was very eccentric and lazy.
It's like a piece of fine jade, but it has many shortcomings.
Li Shimin continued: "I also want Zhang Yang to learn well and let Li Chunfeng teach him, but Li Chunfeng has been in seclusion recently, so I think he should be given a different teacher."
Changing the teacher, Li Tai said with a bad smile on his face, "Father, let Wei Zheng teach him."
"Wei Zheng? He's been very busy recently, so he probably doesn't have the time to spare."
Li Shimin put down the bowl in his hand and calmed down, "You can go back too, I still have to review the memorial."
Li Tai bowed and saluted, "My son, I take my leave."
In the past two days, apart from going to court every day, Zhang Yang also took his wife to the fiefdom.
Li Tai continued to do hard work here.
Seeing his brother-in-law sweating profusely while working, Zhang Yang felt inexplicably happy.
Niu Chuang and several men from the village are trying to produce milk powder.
This is already the third experiment.
First, it is boiled and sterilized at high temperature, then placed in a drum and the centrifugal force of the drum separates the grease and water, and then dried in another single drum.
We are almost building a production line for milk powder.
Zhang Yang was a little exhausted mentally. In fact, there were records of milk powder during the Mongol cavalry expedition in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Mongolian cavalry would carry these as part of their military rations.
Doing it yourself is another story.
Li Yue made another large Kongming lantern, and tied a piglet under the Kongming lantern.
The children in the village ran out of the village chasing the Kongming Lantern.
Zhang Yang was thinking that Li Yue's production of Kongming lanterns was about to hit a bottleneck.
Niu Chuang poured out the milk powder in the tube again, and the white and yellowish milk powder poured out.
Zhang Yang tasted the milk aroma and it was not very strong, because the craftsmanship was rough and could retain nutrients and the milk aroma was not much.
It's already great to be able to do this.
Zhang Yang rearranged the drawings and said, "That's it for now. Thank you all for your hard work."
Niu Chuang said with a smile: "It's just a bit hard to make these things, but it's nothing."
The lunch in the village is very rich.
Now everyone has a new house to live in. To celebrate the next stage of the fortification work, the village held a banquet.
Tables are put together one after another, and meat and vegetables are placed on the tables.
Li Yue and Zhang Yang sat at the top, and the villagers sat on both sides.
The population in the village is not large, and it can be easily squeezed in by everyone.
It was rare to have a drink in the village. Niu Chuang raised his glass and said, "Here's to the consort and the princess."
The villagers were a little cautious and didn't know how to salute. They held up their bowls with the most honest smiles to show respect.
Li Yue smiled and held up the wine bowl and drank in one gulp.
Zhang Yang is still very confident about his wife's drinking ability.
A bowl of wine won't make her drunk.
There was great joy in the village. After eating the meal, everyone went to work.
After dinner, Zhang Yang was still worrying about Li Yue's hot air balloon plan.
"Experiments have confirmed that I conducted several tests at the same time, in the same wind direction, and under the same weight conditions. The spherical shape is indeed the most stable and longest-lasting."
Listening to Li Yue's story, Zhang Yang said: "It's still a matter of firepower."
Li Yue nodded slightly, "It's really not enough."
She held her chin with one hand and looked into the distance, "Husband, am I going to fail?"
"Kiss me and I'll help you."
"There are so many people here!" Li Yue looked at the villagers around him and then hit Zhang Yang hard with his small fist.
"Let me help you. Kiss me after you succeed."
"I..." Li Yue blushed and was confused.
"If you don't want my help, forget it."
"Yes!" Li Yue grabbed Zhang Yang and pursed his lips.
After returning home, Li Yue was full of expectations for the hot air balloon. She was wondering how her husband would help.
We are only one step away from God's dream with the help of my husband.
It was late at night, and the couple were sitting in the yard. Zhang Yang whispered: "Daughter-in-law."
"Yeah." Li Yue nodded in agreement.
"It's getting late. It's time to rest. We have to go to court tomorrow morning."
"Um."
"Can you let go of my arm first?"
"Husband, I need your help!"
"I know you need my helping hand, but can you let go of my arm first?"
Li Yue then let go of her hand and said, "Husband, please rest early."
"Well, don't be too happy, maybe I will fail too."
"Hehe." Li Yue happily returned to her room and closed the door.
Zhang Yang has been very busy these days and has received news from Tuli Khan's son, who is willing to negotiate further.
Zhang Yang asked Xu Jingzong to dismantle the milk powder production method and the production line made in the village, and sent them all to the Turks.
Xu Jingzong looked at the carriage going away and said, "Secretary Zhang, planning a big plan is not something that can be done in a day and a moment."
Zhang Yang sighed: "I don't know what happened to the Turks."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Jingzong whispered, "The imperial court sent a memorial to the Turkic Khan, and the official was also a Turkic horse dealer who heard the news
I just found out that Tuli Khan has already left for Chang'an City, so it seems that the Zhongshu Province is still worried about us."
"Shilang Zhang, do you think they will ruin our plan?"
"Their plans do not conflict with ours."
"I've been very busy recently. Are there any prisoners to be executed in Dali Temple recently?"
"There used to be those Turks, but they have been killed. There are very few people who have committed capital crimes. There have not been many since the fourth year of Zhenguan. What is the reason for this?"
"I'm going to do an experiment, an experiment that will kill people."
Xu Jingzong nodded in understanding. Chang'an City has been very peaceful recently, to the extent that people don't pick up things on the road.
Zhang Yang whispered: "What is Jie Li doing?"
Xu Jingzong sneered: "Your Majesty is under house arrest, what happened?"
"This person is suitable for experiments."
"That's right. The DPRK wants to win over Tuli Khan. Jieli is Tuli Khan's mortal enemy, but after all, he is still his uncle. Isn't this bad?"
"How about you come?"
Seeing Zhang Yang looking at him with interest, Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, "Then we'd better invite Jieli Khan. Anyway, Turks don't have any filial piety."
"right."
Meeting Li Shimin is a very troublesome matter. First, you must obtain permission from all levels.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei, a fat little man, has been dreaming of getting rich recently, especially in the milk tea business. He followed suit and started his own milk tea business. Because goat milk is scarce and the scale is not large, the business is quite good.
"You want to see my father?" Li Tai drank milk tea.
He also added some dried dates to the milk tea. This little fat guy's taste became more and more intense. He liked to add some weird things to the milk tea and had a rich imagination.
