Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Soon, the National Business Department sent several top chefs to Zhujiazhuang to learn how to make Yi noodles.

While teaching them, Zhu Tao carefully observed their actual operations and gave pointers.

These people are worthy of being called top chefs, and their skills are not self-proclaimed. It only took them three days to learn how to make one side.

Moreover, everyone admired Zhu Tao's five bodies and praised him one after another.

"Shaodong's family is really talented. They can produce such delicious food that is easy to store. These things are used on the battlefield of the Ming Dynasty. For the combat troops, that is the greatest blessing for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

The current Yi noodles are actually noodles that are fried and stored in an air-dried way, and then just add some hot water when using them.

However, Zhu Tao was not satisfied with this, he said to these chefs.

"Now this is just a preliminary version. At that time, some sealed seasonings will be added. Including these noodles themselves, they cannot be stored in the open air. It is best to seal them to avoid moisture return. But I still need to study these."

Everyone also knows that Shaodong's family is a person who strives for perfection, so they are also waiting for the next more refined version of Yimian.

When Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhu Tao Zhuangzi again, he was designing a picture.

Seeing that he was so serious, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother him, and stood behind him and kept watching.

It took Zhu Tao a while to look up, and seeing his father standing behind him, he hurriedly asked, "Father, when did you come here? I was so engrossed in watching just now that I didn't realize you were behind me."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tao with a smile. Whenever this kid is so serious, there should be something new.

"Tao'er, this is something new to study, and it will be fresh for Dad to tell."

Zhu Tao also smiled, and answered Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, I'm considering strengthening the quality of the bicycle you saw last time and mass producing it. I will discuss it with my fourth cousin and equip it to the troops through the State Commercial Department."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand that although this bicycle is more convenient to ride, what is the use of it in the army?

In fact, Zhu Tao knew very well that during the period of world melee, the Yinlun troops of the Onu Kingdom, which were actually bicycle troops, played a very important role in the battlefields of Southeast Asia.

Some terrain is very difficult to walk, and it will be muddy in rainy days, even the wheels of cars can be restricted, let alone horseshoes, but bicycles can be used better.

Moreover, war horses have always been a particularly scarce item, so infantry accounted for the vast majority of Da Ming's troops, and cavalry was definitely a treasure.

It can be said that the salary and material equipment to support one cavalry can support more than three infantry.

The cavalry depended on war horses for survival, and war horses consumed a lot of supplies, while bicycles did not need to consume anything, just change some rubber usually.

After Zhu Tao told Zhu Yuanzhang all the words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately made a decision.

"Tao'er, your idea is very good. I want to suggest implementation immediately. However, the bicycle army should also conduct experiments first. I think it is best to use a hundred troops to try it out. If the effect is good, it will be mass-produced." production equipment."

Zhu Tao also knows that the productivity he has now is just enough to get the strength of a hundred households, which is actually a company.

It is no problem for him to equip this company in batches, but if there are more, there will not be so many materials and production capacity.

After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, he first summoned Xu Zengshou and said.

"Zengshou, during this time, how is your acting admiral doing, and is it going well?"

Xu Zengshou is actually a very carefree person, but this errand makes him feel a little sad.

However, he is also rough and detailed, knowing that although Zhu Yuanzhang is an iron-fisted emperor, he is also an old brother of his father Xu Da, so he will not do anything to himself, just say it directly.

"Your Majesty, I really have no way to be the admiral of this expert factory. I am really aggrieved by what I did. Please spare me this job."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, and said to him: "Okay, we will relieve you of this errand and appoint another one, but this admiral of the expert factory is a fourth-rank official, and the new job given to you is only a seventh-rank official. Are you willing to do it?"

For Xu Zengshou, let alone the seventh grade, even if the official is dismissed, it is no problem, so naturally he nodded.

So Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"We're going to form a bicycle troop to test it out, and now we're going to use a force of one hundred households to test it out, and this one hundred households is now under your command from the hundred households to Xiaoqi, and we'll give you three months It's time, you give me the bicycle troop to train out loudly, and I want to review it!"

Hearing this, Xu Zengshou was stunned, what the hell was the bicycle troop, but anyway, he refused to be a factory worker anymore, so he quickly kowtowed to thank him and promised.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, after three months, I will definitely hand over to Your Majesty a famous bicycle troop."

After coming out of the palace, Xu Zengshou came to Zhujiazhuang non-stop, and saw Zhu Tao who was studying the Yimian seasoning package.

Zhu Tao looked at Xu Zengshou who looked like a bitter melon with a funny face.

"You are still depressed now. Although the factory owner of this expert factory is not very pleasant to hear, he is still a fourth-rank official, two levels higher than my cousin."

Xu Zengshou said to Zhu Tao helplessly.

"Don't mention the Young Master's family, I am no longer the admiral of the expert factory, but His Majesty gave me another errand, I am at a loss now."

Zhu Tao asked curiously, "What errand?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know who listened to the crooked idea to form a bicycle army. I didn't know this. No, I came to you to learn from it."

Zhu Tao understood in his heart that this was what he mentioned to his father and the emperor saw it. It seemed that his father was valued by the emperor. It didn't take long before he arranged for someone to do it.

However, how can this be a crooked idea, "Building a bicycle army is easy to handle. You have stayed in Zhujiazhuang for this time. If you study carefully, it will definitely be fine."

Xu Zengshou was naturally very grateful when he heard this, and quickly expressed it.

"Young master, don't worry, I will definitely study hard. This time, we must get rid of the image of that dandy and create an army of bicycles."

Zhu Tao shook his head and said very solemnly.

"It's right to build a bicycle army, but it's still good to be a dude, and there is no need to change."

After hearing this sentence, Xu Zengshou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, but there is nothing wrong with Zhu Tao saying this sentence.
