Chapter 91
Xiaomei told Yinreng that the most original milk powder made is called the "Frying Pan Method". Yinreng described the shape of the weapon "Frying Pan" in the hands of Red Wolf in his mind, and asked Madam Xu to find a similar one for him.
Where did the pan come from here in Mongolia? Madam Xu felt deeply that the little master had entrusted her important tasks to him and wanted to use her strength to help Yinreng. However, her ability was limited. She couldn't think of what the "pan" that the crown prince said was. She could only humbly ask Yinreng: "Your prince, what is a pan?"
"A pan is the pot as its name!" Yinreng said for granted.
Madam Xu suddenly realized and arranged a stone pot for Yinreng.
Stone pots are not as heated as iron pots. To heat the stone pot, it requires a lot of "fuel" to be consumed. The fuel used in Mongolia to make fire and cook is actually "cow dung"!
His Royal Highness wanted to play, and Prince Doro's yurt was fully equipped with these things for him, and he transported a large amount of cow dung for him.
Urgon told Yinreng apologetically: There is not much firewood here in Mongolia.
Yinreng didn't dislike cow dung. When the stone pot was heated, he began to "distillate" the milk powder. After many experiments, he ordered people to add sugar to it, stir it back and forth with a large wooden spoon, and evaporate the water inside until he could see the blocky milk chunks.
[When the milk block is dried, then crushed and ground, the homemade milk powder will be made!] Due to the addition of sucrose, goat milk condenses faster. The more difficult thing is how to reach the last step, filter the goat milk from some moisture to dry without moisture without burning. The key step is heating and cooling. Xiaomei also told Yinreng that such a step is expected to take up to three hours.
Yinreng sighed: "It turns out that it is not easy to get milk powder."
No wonder the "milk powder money" is so precious, the cost is high, and of course it is expensive. Just looking at the consumed cow dung is enough for the people here to cook a lot of pots of food.
Urgon said in a grand manner: "Your Highness, you like it. Please feel free to use it. You can take it with you enough cow dung and goat milk."
In fact, whether it is cow manure, sheep manure or horse manure, it can be burned because these little animals eat grass and can burn it after the feces are dry.
Compared to the loss of rare and rare play, some cow dung is not worth mentioning. His Royal Highness's hobbies are so simple, and the ministers do not feel sorry for the loss of the loss.
The herdsmen of the Duluo County Prince raised thousands of cows for him, which were huge in scale and could produce a large amount of cow dung every day.
Despite Urgon saying this, Yinreng felt very sorry.
If you want to expand the scale of goat milk to make milk powder, it will consume too much cow dung and the cost will be even higher. Such goat milk powder will only become a rare tribute and cannot become a common food on people's dining table.
Yinreng ordered the eunuchs to continue to make goat milk for themselves. He calculated that he had three younger brothers in total. It would be enough to bring some for each younger brother, and it would not be greedy, so as not to burn the cow dung in Urgon's house.
[The fire temperature of cow dung is limited. When the hay in the feces is burned, it becomes cow dung ashes. According to Xiaomei's information, there are rich coal mines hidden underground in the area where the child is located, which is very shallow from the surface.] Yinreng likes to mess with new things, and Xiaomei is completely supportive and even adds to the fire.
Whether you become a scientist or an inventor, you can become a winner in life. As long as you don’t become an emperor, you will be able to have any other hobbies.
Xiaomei encouraged Yinreng to invite people to dig coal. Its auxiliary system is good at discovering all material resources around him. On the small map, it marked the distribution of coal mines within a radius of several miles for Yinreng. There are shallow coal seams near the yurt.
When Kangxi sent someone to invite Yinreng back, the eunuchs who made goat milk powder for Yinreng were still working hard. The little prince had some treasures, and he smiled as bright as a flower. His cheeks and hands were covered with gray-black marks, and he played like a little cat.
The grassland that was not prosperous enough in spring was dug one after another. The pit was too big. Those who didn't know thought that the prince was going to bury the coffin!
Urgon, the second son of Prince Eqier of Doro County, was excitedly praising Yinreng: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of being chosen by God. You have found so much coal!"
The guards invited Yinreng back to the palace and reported to Kangxi: "His prince discovered coal hidden underground."
When Kangxi heard this, his heart suddenly jumped for two beats, and then the guards said that Yinreng sent someone to dig the land ranch of Prince Duoluo into a bumpy pit, and his long-lost headache dared to hit his forehead.
The emperor said with a dark face: "Go and call Baocheng to me."
The guard whispered: "Your Highness went to wash as soon as he returned, and said he would wash it and then come to see the emperor."
Kangxi snorted lightly, saying that he would go with him. When Yinreng came to search for him in vain, he asked him unhappily: "I haven't cared about you for only half a day. I heard that you dug up the ranch of the Duluo Prince's family?"
Yinreng felt guilty for his naughty mischievousness, and he turned his mouth to speak with a high-sounding official saying: "Khan Ama, Erchen discovered a coal mine. With the coal mine, there can be fuel to burn goat milk. The goat milk can be turned into milk powder and transported to the inner palace. Then sugarcane is transported to make milk powder. In the future, Mongolia can communicate with the inner palace and benefit each other!"
What he said was particularly reasonable, and Kangxi almost believed that the prince was working hard to improve people's livelihood.
The emperor said coldly: "I heard that you want to bring milk powder to your 'shouting' brothers?"
Yinreng's eyes drifted and he laughed: "As I followed Khan Ama's northern tour, but my younger brothers were locked up in the Forbidden City to study. Maybe they miss Khan Ama and Erchen how much they would. Erchen drank the goat milk here and remembered his younger brothers, so he wanted to bring them some ‘special products’ back and make them happy too."
The prince cares for his younger brothers, is it wrong to be kind to his younger brothers?
Kangxi looked at Yinreng, who was getting thicker and thicker, and knew in his heart that this child was just "talking lies with his eyes open", and on the surface he really couldn't find out his mistakes.
As early as the Tang and Song dynasties, coal had become a commonly used fuel, and it was forged and smelted. The Qing Dynasty controlled the mining of coal mines.
The coal mine was hidden underground and difficult to find. Kangxi did not expect to take Yinreng to Mongolia, but he found the underground mines in Mongolia.
Originally, he came to contact his old Mongolian subordinates, but now his goal was achieved. The emperor should have rested for a few days, and then took Yinreng back to the pass. All plans gave him the ability to "find treasure hunt" completely disrupted.
What else should I rest? I can only summon the court officials to discuss matters quickly.
[He was anxious, he was anxious, the child's father was anxious about the extra overtime work!] Yinreng didn't expect that after he was just trying to do anything, he added so much work to Khan Ama.
The emperor not only needed to urgently summon ministers to discuss the disposal of the coal mine, but also to appease the Duluo Prince, and to send people to encircle the places where the coal mine was discovered, and there was also the goat milk that Yinreng made.
Yinreng was almost crying: "Why will the results of the son minister be ruthlessly taken away by Khan Ama?"
Kangxi ordered a slap, and saw Yinreng as weak as an abandoned puppy, recalling how many "unkind" things he had done to Yinreng over the years, he also took over his "infertility laboratory" not long ago. Now, it seems that he has been a bit too much to care about the goat milk with his children.
The emperor reiterated and said, "Go and ask the eunuch to record the formula for making milk powder."
As for the milk powder that has been made, it should be taken to Yinreng so that he would not make the child cry when he was outside.
It would be fine if you make children cry in the Ganqing Palace, but when you go outside, it is related to your own face. At least before returning to the Forbidden City, Kangxi would not scold Yinreng too much.
When Yinreng heard this, the tears suddenly stopped at the corner of his eyes and laughed immediately.
When other ministers came to pay homage to the emperor, he held up a mature, steady and serious expression, as if he was the excellent and perfect young crown prince.
Kangxi: "…"
The emperor saw through everything but couldn't say it out loud. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. On the one hand, he couldn't help but want to show off his true excellent heirs. On the other hand, he heard his ministers praising the prince, and his mood was subtle.
Kangxi would never say to his ministers: Baocheng is actually not steady at all and he is still playful. Not only is he not obedient, but he always contradicts me. His smart mind does not need to be on the right path. He does not study hard in governing the country, but instead is interested in some strange things. I am almost worried!
Now, Yinreng went back and wrote a lot of fallacies, using Du Lide to teach him how to write policy and explain clearly to Kangxi the benefits of promoting Mongolian goat milk powder and cow milk powder.
Khan Ama, aren’t you worried that Mongolia is based outside the pass and is not closely connected with the pass? What a great opportunity this time!
The link of economic exchanges is a bridge that promotes cooperation between Mongolia and the inner city and mutually beneficial, and can also expand the scale and promote people's livelihood. Milk powder is easier to store and can also improve the lives of Mongolians themselves.
Yinreng wrote articles without any unnecessary decorations. He wrote his thoughts in a rational analytical tone and clean and refreshing handwriting. Then he passed his crown prince’s “memorial” to Kangxi as his ministers submitted to the emperor.
If Mongolian goat milk powder starts to be produced in large quantities, then my younger brothers can drink goat milk powder every day in the capital!
The emperor knew in his heart that Baocheng was playing tricks for his younger brothers, but after reading this memorial, he was convinced by the remarks.
Yinreng told Kangxi: "Khan Ama, my son is really studying the law of governing the country, and improving people's livelihood is also the law of governing the country."
Kangxi didn't want to listen to his excuses about his own playfulness. Even if he was reluctant, the mess his son caused by playing with his playfulness could only pinch his nose to clean up for him.
Seeing that Khan Ama had accepted his memorial and sent someone to arrange affairs, Yinreng handled government affairs without saying a word. He felt guilty for increasing the workload of Khan Ama for a moment, so he came up with a way to solve Khan Ama's workload and make Khan Ama happy.
He drew all the mineral distribution within ten miles marked by Xiaomei's auxiliary system, and gave Kangxi a picture like a credit.
Kangxi was strangely silent. He took the picture silently and buried himself in "working overtime" for dozens of days.
Within these ten days, ministers from inside and outside the pass came back and forth, and Mongolian princes and princes came to visit the imperial palaces from time to time.
It was not until ten days later that Yinreng harvested three pots of goat milk powder, and Kangxi finally took Yinreng back to the pass.
Urgon excitedly said goodbye to Yinreng and said to Yinreng in broken Chinese: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is welcome to come to my house again next time. If I go to the capital in the future, I will definitely find Your Highness to drink with you."
Because of the discovery of coal, their status was suddenly much higher than that of other Mongolian princes. His Royal Highness is really their nobleman!
Yinreng was regretting that the "spring outing" was about to end. When he heard the word "wine", his eyes lit up: "This time I came to Mongolia, what I saw most was the passion of Mongolian men drinking. Gu himself had never tasted the taste of wine!"
After hearing this, Urgon was secretly happy and thought that the "lovely man" mentioned by His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince refers to himself. So he secretly gave Yinreng a pot of Mongolian wine.
Mongolian wine is made of cow milk, goat milk, horse milk, etc., and has a special milk fragrance. It is cold and windy here. After drinking this wine, people will feel warm. After drinking it, they will be excited and flushed in their faces and their appetite will rise sharply.
Yinreng thanked Urgon and returned to the Forbidden City with Khan Ama, it was already May.
Yinreng specifically asked Kangxi for grace: "Khan Ama, I haven't seen my brothers well for several months. In the past, we met and studied together every day. Since I left the house, I have never had the chance to get close to my brothers. I miss you very much."
When Kangxi heard this, he saw that Yinreng had performed well these days and had "make meritorious service" when he went to the northern tour. He turned a blind eye and allowed him to go to his friend to his brothers, and ordered him to go to the study to rest for one day.
Yinreng cheered, "Long live Khan Ama", and happily went to the study room to take the brothers back to Yuqing Palace to play together.
Kangxi looked at his far away back and sighed: "Baocheng is intimate and has a close relationship with his brothers. I just hope that this pure brotherhood can last forever and not be affected by the world."
The royal family has no pure brothers. Like Yinreng and Yinzhi, there are two princes supported by the support of two families behind them. It was beyond Kangxi's expectation that the relationship would be as good as it would be.
Kangxi was not sure whether the children would maintain their original intentions when they grew up and started to get in touch with the government, but as a father, he hoped that his sons would be friendly and respectful.
"Baoqing is almost ten years old. I took Baocheng to the Northern Tour this time. The next time I will take Baoqing."
Yinreng didn't know what the emperor was worried about. He received a special pardon and happily held a banquet for children in Yuqing Palace, calling on his brothers to drink and eat meat together.
It was said that they were drinking together, but in fact, Yinzhen and Yinzhi were drunk together by Yinreng, who made a pot of slightly sweet goat milk powder on the grounds that they were too young.
Madam Xu was anxiously sweating and stammered: "Dian... Your Highness, you are still young, aren't you good to drink now?"
"Why is it bad? How can a man not drink? The men outside the pass are the most numerous. Brother Tutu, come, let's toast!" Yinreng's cheeks appeared, and he smiled and clinked the wine glass with Yinzhen, and then poured the Mongolian wine with a strong milky aroma and intense energy into Yinzhen's mouth, which was caught off guard.
"How is it like that! Brother Tutu, is it delicious?" Yinreng leaned closer to take a look, puzzled: "Strange, why did Brother Tutu become shorter."
Yinzhi: "..."
