Chapter 746: The Evil Life of Ergouzi
After Chen Ergou said that, he said loudly: "The ocean has made me Chen Hu. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will have to go to the West three times and go to the West. How can I use Chen Hu? How dare I not do my best? Your Highness asked us if we still go to the sea, why don't we go to the sea? Brothers are willing to follow Ambassador Xu and Marquis Shouning. How happy it is for so many of us brothers to travel around the sea, and we can earn a lot of money to support our wives, children, and children, and let them live a good life. As long as Ambassador Xu and Marquis Shouning say a call, the villain will make up for the sea in the future."
He roared, and the sailors and sailors were also in agitation, saying, "Go to the sea."
Xu Jingting's eyes turned red, and he felt a lot of emotion. These people were with him day and night on the boat, and he could call each person a name. The next time he went into the sea, there were so many familiar faces around him. What a lucky thing...
Zhang Heling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that these damn dogs would take my money and live a good life happily. This... isn't this a fraud? After eating my Zhang Heling's, why don't you ask you to spit it out?
Now everyone is in a state of excitement and is out of control for a while.
Zhu Houzhao was also excited when he heard this, and couldn't help but step forward and patted Chen Ergou on the shoulder and said, "It's very good. I appreciate it very much. In order to commend your achievements, I decided to change the little Zhu Xiucai as a bad person to the Dinghai Fubo Chen Ergou. Chen Ergou, you are a good person, and even I am not as good as you."
"Your Highness..." Chen Ergou was so excited. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and stuttered: "Your Highness, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao turned around and glared at Fang Jifan with a murderous look.
Fang Jifan looked indifferent.
This little Zhu Xiucai is a bad guy... I just mentioned it casually. Who would have decided to do it when I know Xu Jing? Who would blame us Fang Jifan for being honest, or would Xu Jing be blamed for being unable to make jokes?
If you really want to pursue the matter, then beat Xu Jing to death and apologize.
Zhu Houzhao said: "What the Ming Dynasty lacks is you people. What is damn loyalty and righteousness, etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. I don't like it. I say it a hundred times and it's not as useful as having the courage to go into the sea. Ergouzi, I know that you want to say something grateful, but you don't have to say it anymore. I know in my heart that you... are no longer Ergou of your mother and wife and children. From then on, you are Ergou of the Zhenguo Mansion, Ergou of countless sailors and sailors, and your name will spread throughout the world.
Ergouzi, please go into the sea well. Your mother and your wife and children will take care of me. Whoever dares to bully them is bullying me or slap Lao Fang in the face. I and Lao Fang will definitely vent their anger for you and tear them to pieces. There is no shortage of merchants, scholars, and farmers in the world. Those who lack are people like Ergouzi. If there are thousands of Ergouzi in this palace, our Ming Dynasty will shine for thousands of years. Okay, you don’t have to say anything, I understand everything!"
Zhu Houzhao's words made countless sailors cry.
This is His Royal Highness. With his words, even if the brothers work hard, it is worth it.
What's more, there are people like Ambassador Xu who are ambitious. The brothers are by his side, and they know that what they have done is a great cause that shines for thousands of years. Even if they save this life, it is worth it.
There is also such a person as Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, who is not self-interested and specializes in benefiting others. He doesn't take any spoils. He even ate rat tails on the boat every day. He is said to have climbed ashore and eats porridge every day. He is a dignified relative and his life is miserable, but he has lost all his wealth, making his brothers rich, big fish and meat, and his wives and children live a good life. With such a person, even if he cuts himself around, even if he is a castration, it is worth it.
Life is like this, and you can meet such favors and get their protection and appreciation. What else can you ask for?
A scholar dies for his confidant!
Chen Ergou's face was blue and white, and he tried many times to think about what to say.
But to this point, it seems... no matter what you say, it becomes pretentious.
He could only say in tears: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very kind and great. The young men will give this life to the Zhenguo Mansion. Your Highness the Crown Prince asks us to go up to the mountain of swords and sea of fire, and the young men will never frown."
Everyone immediately said, "I will die!"
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath.
He likes people like Ergouzi, it's really true!
Zhu Houzhao laughed happily and said, "Today... everyone is here, I will hold a banquet, let's... eat cows!"
Zhang Heling looked sad, and seemed to have something to worry about, but when he heard about eating cows, he was immediately energetic. He raised his arms and shouted: "Eat cows!"
After hearing this, everyone did not hesitate anymore and said happily: "Eat!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held a banquet in person, which is definitely something that can be boasted about for the rest of his life.
Everyone's faces were flushed and excited.
Then, Zhu Houzhao led people to the dining hall of Tuntian Guard. Everyone sat down and brought pots of hot beef.
Zhu Houzhao then knocked the basin with a spoon, making a clanging sound, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, I still have something to say. In order to let everyone go to sea and avoid being hungry, our Mr. Wen has made cans. In the future, you will take the cans out and take a look."
He said, while taking out a glass jar.
This can was a product of the Napoleon period in history. Because during the march, people found that food was prone to rot and deterioration, so Napoleon offered a heavy reward, hoping that someone would solve this problem!
Finally, a chef came up with a solution. He found that when all the food was placed in a boiling water pot and heated for half an hour, he plugged it tightly with a cork while it was hot, and then reinforced with thread or sealed with wax. The food could remain undeteriorated in the jar for a long time, so he got its name.
Based on this method, Fang Jifan discussed with Wen Yansheng and tried to produce more than a dozen varieties of canned food.
Among them are canned pears, soak the pears in water, boil them, and pour them into jars to seal them. Or canned beef, or eight-treasure porridge...
These cans can ensure that sailors and crew can supplement enough nutrition during the sailing process so as not to have malnutrition or lack of vitamins and fat. With this... for sailors and crew who went into the sea, life on the ship was much easier.
However, the cost of this can is naturally not low. Of course, this cost is for ordinary people, but for fleets that are rich and can bring huge wealth, these costs are not worth mentioning.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "When you go back later, each person will get a few cans to try. If you think the taste is not good, you can write a book to make suggestions! Ergouzi, do you have a son? Your son should love to eat this!"
Chen Ergou's face was blue and white. He wanted to remind the prince many times that he was not Ergou, but Chen Hu. But at this time, His Highness called him, and what he wanted to say quickly swallowed into his stomach, not being able to do anything!
He said obediently: "Your Highness cares about the young people in his heart, and the young people are very grateful."
Zhu Houzhao said heroically: "Come on, raise the wine cup, let's... have a drink for Ergouzi!"
"Drink!" Everyone was extremely happy.
To be honest, most of the people here have never eaten beef. They are bitter, not to mention that there is almost no beef on the market. This kind of cooked beef is neither affordable nor qualified to eat.
Eating beef seems to have become a symbol of identity.
You can brag again.
The taste of this meat is so good. Ergou ate very happily and had long forgotten all the unpleasant things.
He is a very easy-to-satisfied person. For this bit of beef and his life, he wished he would sell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few more times.
I only ate half of it, and suddenly, with a click.
Chen Ergou frowned and felt a little pain in his mouth. When he touched it, his teeth became a little loose!
Then, he spit out the beef from his mouth and turned out a steel ball from the residue.
He carefully pinched the steel ball. What is this...?
Will steel balls grow in this cow's belly?
Damn... It's amazing!
……………………
British Duke Zhang Mao rushed back without stopping, but did not take a good rest, and hurried to the palace.
The journey was exhausted, and he was so tired that his old bones fell apart.
But even if I come back, there are still many things. The good day is coming again.
You must not relax the preparation work for a moment. Even if you have any flaws in sacrifice, you may cause dissatisfaction from God and the ancestors.
It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty cannot easily deal with such a thing, which is the main reason for handing over such a heavy responsibility to himself.
For example, Fang Jifan, Your Majesty must have trusted him, but he has brain disease, so he was naturally excluded.
How can such unqualified people worship their ancestors?
Zhang Mao thought so indignantly.
But I suddenly thought again, why don’t I have brain disease, why did I get so healthy after being born?
He sighed again in his heart. As soon as he returned to the Ministry of Rites to report, someone came to the palace and asked him to enter.
Zhang Mao did not dare to neglect and said in his heart, could there be any new sacrifice?
When they arrived at the warm-up pavilion, they saw that Emperor Hongzhi was asking Liu Jian and others something. Liu Jian and others kept nodding and agreed.
Zhang Mao walked forward slowly, then bowed and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and saw Zhang Mao. He looked at Zhang Mao, who seemed a little thin, and couldn't help but sigh: "Thank you for your hard work in your family."
Zhang Mao said: "Your Majesty, it is natural for me to serve you. I can share your worries with you. I will not work hard."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Qing's family is real.
