Chapter 489(1/2)
After Tan Gang received the order, he gave him five taels of silver reward: "I wonder if your father-in-law, why did your majesty suddenly remember to summon the officials to the capital?"
Miao Kui didn't accept the money, but was surprised: "Don't you know Yan Chengjin?"
Tan Gang has heard of this person, and the unprecedented assessment of the vassal kings was Yan Chengjin's supervision.
But, what did this person do to promote himself without any trouble?
Miao Kui didn't say much, nor did he eat in the mansion. He returned to the post office and collapsed, waiting to go to Beijing with Tan Gang to pay the imperial decree.
The maid ran to the backyard happily: "Miss, don't you want to go to Beijing to discuss medical skills with Wang Ji? Just now, the court came and the master was promoted to Beijing official."
Tan Yunxian frowned slightly before she could come back to her senses.
The maid continued to smile and said, "Miss can go to Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau to practice medicine. With her medical skills, she will definitely become the chief engineer of Liangxiang. The mansion will not have to save money."
No one cursed the officials in Nanzhili, and Tan Gang was only a fifth-rank doctor, with a monthly salary of 30 stones. He had many people in the house and lived a poor life.
"Who did you hear?"
"The notice posted by Lao Wang's bookstore is that doctors can go to Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau to practice medicine."
Tan Yunxian's eyes lit up slightly. She had no interest in Yinzi, but she was very skeptical about Wang Ji's medical skills.
The prescription developed by this person has misled the world.
Beijing,
Since entering the palace, Queen Zhang has been recuperating in the silkworm room of the harem.
Princess Taiping was born for premature birth and was weak in physical condition, so she also stayed in the silkworm chamber.
However, Queen Zhang gave birth very little milk. Although this matter was ashamed to talk about it, it was a major event in the palace.
In the morning court, Emperor Hongzhi glanced eagerly over the ministers in the hall: "Where is there anyone who can enter the palace to be the wet nurse of Princess Taiping?"
The ministers looked at each other.
Yan Chengjin lowered his head and pondered that Princess Taiping gave birth prematurely and was prone to developmental delay.
The Ming Dynasty had clear regulations on choosing wet nurses.
First, she has a dignified appearance, healthy and disease-free woman, and is a suitable age between fifteen and twenty.
Secondly, the milk is sufficient, the husband and children are healthy, and they are free from illness or illness.
For this reason, the court also set up a special ** palace, which was valued by the court.
Carpenter Emperor Zhu Youxiao married his wet nurse Keshi, which made the wet nurse group famous in the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that no one in the hall responded, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing: "The Silijian and Jinyiwei will select it from the military households, and within two days, the wet nurse will be sent to the palace."
There are many procedures for choosing wet nurses, the most important thing is to have a dignified appearance and good health.
We have to choose from another fifteen to twenty.
Many military households couldn't even get their wives, so there was no wet nurse. Xiao Jing was embarrassed: "I will send someone out of the palace to find him."
Seeing Xiao Jing's constipation look, Yan Chengjin knew that the factory guards could not find a wet nurse.
The milk powder business was born. With the title of Princess Taiping, it can also be named Taiping Milk Powder.
If the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce wants to become the first commercial gang of the court, or even establish a commercial bank and issue silver invoices, it needs enough credibility and silver reserves.
For silver, it requires sufficient industrial income support.
And there is no one selling milk powder in the world.
But you have to be able to make milk powder.
Back to the mansion,
How could Yan Chengjinming pour two buckets of milk into a large pot and burn it over high heat until it boils?
How could I see that the milk in the pot is getting less and less, and I keep calling myself a prodigal person, and the meat channel is: "Young master, if you cook it again, it will be gone?"
"Stir, keep stirring, without my orders, you are not allowed to stop."
After three or five people came to the kitchen, they naturally did not dare to disobey Yan Chengjin's order.
Just spread the milk powder and dry it on the iron sheet to make it into powder.
Soon, the milk fragrance in Yan's mansion became more and more intense.
Two days later, Xiao Jing had not found the wet nurse yet, so he was so anxious that he was in a hurry.
Princess Taiping lacked milk and could only replenish it with rice paste, so she was so hungry that she cried.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang with pity in his eyes: "The queen is suffering. I have sent someone to search for the wet nurse. It won't take long to send it to the palace."
Although Queen Zhang was anxious, she could only respond: "I understand."
The little eunuch came in and reported: "Mr. Yan came to visit the Empress and the Princess."
Soon, Yan Chengjin walked into the silkworm room, holding a celadon clay pot in his hand, and the smell of milk drifted from the room after opening it.
In an instant, Princess Taiping seemed to smell the milk and cried.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin curiously: "What is in Yan Qing's hand?"
"This product is called milk powder, which works with breast milk."
Queen Zhang smelled it and it was indeed exuding a heavy milky fragrance.
Emperor Hongzhi was concerned about it. From ancient times to the present, people have grown up drinking breast milk. When have you ever seen anyone eat this?
Princess Taiping cried even harder, and she couldn't stop coaxing her.
Yan Chengjin bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, why not use this item to try it. Perhaps it will have the effect of stopping children from crying at night."
Xiao Jing hurriedly brought the milk powder down, and soon he put a bowl of hot milk.
After tasting non-toxic, it was delivered to Princess Taiping's mouth.
The pink little tongue licked, and the crying stopped abruptly, and the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi and Queen Zhang shone.
"With this thing in the palace, why do you need a wet nurse? Where did Yan Qing's family get it?"
Yan Chengjin bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty can order the liexi supervisor to go to Liangxiang to purchase."
He may not accept it if he gave it to Emperor Hongzhi for free.
When Empress Zhang saw Yan Chengjin, she suddenly said, "I heard that the college in Liangxiang is taking over the female staff?"
Emperor Hongzhi snorted: "I have received so many bullets in the past few days, all of which are memorials to impeach Wang Yue."
A woman who shows up in public and practices medicine will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the scholars and officials.
They joined forces to write ambush chapters, impeach Wang Yue, and disrupt the public.
But Emperor Hongzhi knew what happened to Guan Wangyue?
Feeling His Majesty's gaze, Yan Chengjin felt embarrassed. Wang Yue was famous for his generation, and he was the one who suffered a loss.
The little eunuch came in and reported: "Empress, Mrs. Jin is here."
Since the brothers went to sea, Queen Zhang ordered someone to hide it from Mrs. Jin to avoid being too sad.
But now, more than half a year has passed, and my mother has long seen through it.
Queen Zhang lowered her sympathy in her eyes and sighed secretly: "My mother has already guessed about her brother's affairs, and I will tell her today."
"I'll go back to the palace first."
When a woman talks about such sad things, she can't help but cry.
Moreover, there are many memorials in Fengtian Palace, waiting for him to review.
Soon, an old woman in gorgeous clothes walked into the silkworm room, saluted slightly, and stood beside her.
After asking about his well-being, Empress Zhang said with great care: "Half a year ago, my brother went out to sea to find the silver mountain. The sea was extremely dangerous. I am afraid that my brother would die early."
Mrs. Jin was as if struck by lightning, and she burst into tears on the side.
Yan Chengjin hesitated in his heart that the two brothers were not dead yet, and they were in the Ishimi Silver Mine in the island country.
Do you want to report to Your Majesty?
...
Island country,
A Japanese man knelt in front of Yuemon and reported: "The subordinates did not receive the silk, and the man said he did not know the two."
Yuemon held the hand of the knife, and the veins swelled up and became furious.
"Let the fleet in our mansion go to the Ming Dynasty for nothing, capture the two of them, and I will slaughter them myself!"
In the kitchen, Zhang Yanling took the bamboo tube that was blowing the fire and blew a sudden breath. The fire in the stove became a little stronger.
Since being captured, I have to wash clothes and cook every day to make the night fragrance.
But he was very energetic and said happily: "Brother, in a few days, someone will come to redeem us."
"Hmph! When these hateful Japanese people arrived in person, I personally slaughtered Uemon, occupied his mine, and asked him to ask me to tell stories every day!" Zhang Heling also said happily.
