"Drink it is sour and rinsed. How can you bear this taste? You still insist on drinking it every now and then? I believe it. You are a man who can eat any suffering in order to cultivate the Tao and nourish your body. It is really rare to be afraid of death to you.

Is this thing really useful? It seems that your muscles have become stronger recently, and it seems to have grown by one and a half inches taller? If you go down, you will be as tall as Yide Aliang. Forget it, no matter whether it has the effect or not, I can't stand this thing.

Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. Being a human being means to have fun in time. I will still drink a bar. I have become the prime minister as I wish. Do you have any thoughts?”

This was the third day after Li Su became prime minister. After the continuous reception of guests, he finally got a peace of mind and then welcomed Liu Bei to visit him.

It was not until this moment that Liu Bei had the first time drinking whey protein isolate produced by Roman craftsmen in Li Su's mansion. The taste was really fishy, ​​sour and astringent, which made Liu Bei's yelling and yelling desire to be too strong to bear.

Liu Bei actually likes to make friends and drink big wine with old friends, but he doesn't like too many people and everyone can't let go. If he is drinking with a good friend, he hopes that outsiders can go as far as they go, and those hypocritical and polite compliments will not appear.

So he waited for two days, and the guests were almost dispersed before he came to visit him.

Guan Yu is in Nanyang, Zhao Yun is in Wujun, and Zhang Fei is in Yanmen, so the other guys with enough numbers are not there, so Liu Bei just chatted with Li Su privately.

In addition, as the emperor, I didn’t chat with Li Su for a few days, not only to reminisce about the past or to conspire that cannot be used for outsiders, but also because of frequent military information in front of him. Liu Bei just heard that Yuan Tan had an armed conflict with Yuan Shang with Cao Cao’s support, so he had to ask Li Su about a specific countermeasure, which was considered a public-private and private situation.

Of course, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have only had a fight in the past three or four days. There is no military clue yet, and there is no idea of ​​the strength of the two sides, and the attitude of the local forces of the Yuan family.

The generals from Luoyang and Hanoi were the first to get information. Of course, they traveled 600 miles a day to send them to Chang'an, so Liu Bei already knew about it four days later.

Faced with Liu Bei's doubts about whey protein, Li Su just smiled: "As a civil servant, I am not as good as a military general, so I can only take advantage of the skill to maintain my health. Your Majesty is martial and thinks it's hard to drink, and I don't need these things.

Eat more beef, chicken, venison, donkey meat, fish, shrimp, dried seafood, sea shells, eat less pigs and sheep, and exercise frequently, and the effect is the same. In addition, today's milk is generally a bit sour.

After I ask the business manager in my family to be responsible for improving the varieties, I get completely mellow and smell-free milk. I will ask Your Majesty to taste it, so I can strengthen my bones. My family has a small population, and these things are entrusted to Mi'er's family.

Their family has not done other business for many years. They are used to operating daily necessities. Although they are not profitable, they are safe. The business that makes less money is complicated, so there are few people who want to grab it, and the competition is not fierce. And at this point, is there still a shortage of money?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "It is said that in the early years of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Cang was healthy and drank milk. Brother, you are extravagant and more particular than Zhang Cang. However, you are restrained in drinking milk and are still kind. You have not regarded people as a livestock. Right, don't avoid the problem. Haven't answered your thoughts after becoming the prime minister, but are different?"

Liu Bei did not read history books very much, and he had all passed all the trivial things that had no historical reference value in the ancients. Because he was retelling by the doctors' knowledge setters, the doctors knew Liu Bei's hobbies, so they skipped those parts that had no information and did not talk about them.

However, in the past six months, after being inspired by Cai Yong and Li Su, Liu Bei realized the importance of nuclear creation and began to discipline himself. He read the original texts by himself. Therefore, he also saw more flesh-and-blood ancient people, and his words began to quote classics, although they still quoted mostly dirty jokes.

This feeling is like a person who has read "Dream of Red Mansions". He didn't remember those elegant things, but he first tried the little yellow plots such as "March 3, a worm is drilling in", "Daughter is happy, and a few necks are poked in", remembering the couplets of Xue Pan, such as "There is no more than 30 minutes of the year," and so on.

Look, Liu Bei spoke up as the allusion of "Zhang Cang drinking milk" to mock Li Su. Of course, these are all jokes between buddies, and there is no malice.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Ling and Chen Ping took over as prime minister, Zhang Cang lived in his 100-year-old life. When his teeth were gone, he drank milk to make a living. At the age of 90, he started drinking human milk until he died.

There are also rumors that Zhang Cang’s wife and concubines and maids together have more than 100, which make the woman no longer favor after she becomes pregnant, and she will be spoiled again.

Many people have malicious speculations, thinking that Zhang Cang is producing his own source of human milk. And in that era, it is impossible to squeeze out and drink it again, that is, they just lie on their concubines. After creating a concubine with breasts, they snatch milk from their children to drink it. There is no one else.

Compared with such a bad precedent, Li Su's improvement of milk varieties is already very kind. Considering that Zhang Cang has had some noble officials who have done health care in drinking milk for hundreds of years, it is just that there are very few people who can afford it.

Li Su made some contributions to completely eliminating a barbaric ignorance of "people are animals". After all, drinking human milk in non-maternal and infant relationships is always weird, and raising a maid to drink milk is even more weird.

Li Su smiled and answered Liu Bei's question, while pouring new drinks for Liu Bei: "To be honest, after worshiping the minister, I felt that there was no difference. Instead, I became more and more polite and restrained in front of me. It would be better to be relaxed if Your Majesty felt that I had let down the favor of the emperor and pour wine to compensate me."

Liu Bei laughed: "This is all for outsiders to see. Whether you worship the minister or not, you will not always let you do what you should do. I also think that worshiping the minister will delay the serious business, so it is not easy to let your brother go out of the capital casually.

Otherwise, at this time, my brother should be in charge of the overall situation in Luoyang and check for the gaps. Fortunately, after the spring plowing, Chang'an will get used to the new team, so he will naturally let my brother go to Luoyang. The matter here will be the daily cooking of Gongda Yuanchang and others. After the capital is officially moved next year, there will be no trouble."

The biggest inconvenience after becoming prime minister is that when he was just appointed as prime minister, he would definitely stay in the official capital where the court was located. The new official took office and reversed the governance system and sorted it out.

In history, Zhuge Liang had to take charge of Chengdu for a while in the early Liu Chan Dynasty, and then he could personally fight against Meng Huo and Cao Wei.

Of course, Zhuge Liang was stationed in the army all year round, and Ji Han's government affairs center was moved to Hanzhong. He relied on the envoy to return the major matters to Hanzhong for advice.

Li Su's current situation is similar. Luoyang is too close to the front line. The key is that the facilities are not good enough. All officials have stabilized in Chang'an and Chang'an has been so prosperous. No one wants to live a hard life directly in Luoyang.

It will take another one or two years to turn the current situation of a large construction site before you can go back.

However, Liu Bei's court was full of powerful generals and had many talented men who could stand on his own. Therefore, when Li Su stayed in Chang'an for a while, if Guan, Zhang and Zhao had the opportunity to attack, they would not delay the war.

Liu Bei teased a few words, picked up the newly poured drink Li Sugang for him and wanted to quench his thirst before continuing to talk, but before he could get close to his lips, he smelled a relatively sensation of turbulent smell on his nose, and he couldn't help but change the topic and asked curiously: "Is this adding wine? Milk wine?"

Li Su showed off proudly: "Isn't this the first batch of artificially selected and bred Roman cows not yet born? First, I used the milk of a small batch of Alpine cows for experiments to see if there is any way to completely conceal the sour taste in it.

Then I thought of adding sugar first, but later I felt it was not enough, so I added this kind of bamboo cane spirits that just came out last year. Last year, the minister built a new large sugar factory in Bowang, producing white sugar and rock sugar. His Majesty knew about it.

Because it is necessary to decolorize twice, in order to prevent waste, there is no need to use Yizhou's agglomerated brown sugar to process it. Just use the crude product to process the sugar.

However, a problem arose later. As long as you squeeze it roughly, the bamboo bagasse will not be completely refined. Although it saves time, it wastes raw materials. I thought of using the roughly squeezed bamboo bagasse to make this sweet wine.

There is no need to distillate it, it is just as mellow as Zhongshan winter brew. Anyway, it is necessary to dilute it by mixing it in milk, and only those who want to drink strong wine will distil it.”

What Li Su mentioned was obviously sweet wine or rum. Historically, the explosive development of Cuba's rum industry was related to the replacement of brown sugar.

Many impurities in brown sugar or nutrients other than sugar are originally brought out after high-strength pressing of sugar cane. If you squeeze a little lightly, there will be not so many impurities. (Now women boil brown sugar for health care, but the effective ingredients are those impurities and trace elements, and sucrose is not the reason for health care)

Therefore, when making sugar, it is actually beneficial to squeeze it lighter. As for the sugarcane bagasse, it is just to make wine directly.

The finished product does not have distillation rate of about fifteen to seventeen or eighteen degrees, isn’t it the degree of winter brewing in Zhongshan? If you drink it in milk, just two or three percent is enough to completely cover up the odor, and it will only be three or four degrees. You won’t be drunk at all, and you won’t have any problems with alcoholism. You can drink it and maintain your health.

Later supermarkets also had a lot of milk wine with rum and milk, and milk should be drunk with sugar. Li Su used alcohol and sugar to cover up the sour milk milk of not very good quality and made it into sweet milk wine. This is precisely because of the successful experience.

After drinking it, Liu Bei was also amazed. He not only disgusted with drinking whey protein for health care, but also disgusted with drinking milk for health care, and regarded it as a barbarian dietary habit.

After being transformed by Li Su like this, he found that he was full of sweetness and mellowness, but he didn't object.

Who would object to sweet and rich health drinks?

"This is also the method of brewing Western Region wine offered by the Roman craftsmen recruited by my brother? This is more interesting than grape wine. The people of the Zhen family are also well managed. These daily living things will always make achievements and benefit the people. In less than a few years, these things will become popular and can be considered as having fun with the people."

Faced with Liu Bei's problem, Li Su had to make excuses: "It was indeed inspired by those Roman craftsmen..."

Although rum really has nothing to do with the Romans, who asked him to find more excuses for his new ideas?

Liu Bei thought about it and ordered: "The two disciples of the Zhen family have been idle officials over the years. I have been preventing the power of the foreign relatives and have never let them do any business. After observing these years, they are not greedy people, so they are considered to be well-documented.

Let them take charge of the royal internal affairs, set up a position of ministers, and find important officials of the court as ministers. Let them start with the doctor and the minister."

Liu Bei felt that these industries that maintain stability in people's livelihood and daily use should also set up new ministerial officials to manage them. The current nine ministers system is only the Ministry of Finance, which is the Ministry of Finance, which is in charge of the national treasury and the royal treasury.

Liu Bei had many nobles in his dynasty, so he had to build a reliable person to manage independent royal wealth.

This thing is similar to the Qing Dynasty's Interior Affairs Office, or it is similar to the "Da Zangqing" that was added when the Japanese imitated the three provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty. In history, Japan sent Tang envoys to study. After imitating the Tang system, they returned to build the seven-century system. The Da Zangqing, which was more than the six-century ministers, was the official emperor's treasury and royal projects, and was expensed.

Considering Liu Bei's special situation, it should be done like this, otherwise the financial pressure will be too great, the government's tax revenue will not be enough, and the royal and noble self-operated industries will subsidize the great cause of national unification, and there will be no clear enough account, which is a bit of a mess.
