Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li Shimin didn't see Du Ruhui's shock, but Li You's surprise was reflected in his eyes.

"Hey, I didn't expect that, the people under you are not all from the imperial court.Labor and capital can be used, can't it! '

Here, before Li You recovered from his shock, Du Ruhui had already stood up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance."

"The King of Yan also recommended this Master Zhang to my minister before, and I also consulted this Master Zhang on some issues. Master Zhang's views on law also surprised me as a heavenly man."

"Originally, I thought that Master Zhang's thinking was a bit too advanced, but I didn't want His Majesty to agree with him so much. I will humbly ask Master Zhang for advice in the future."

After finishing speaking, Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling slightly, but saw Fang Xuanling's sad eyes.

"You all know that there is still Master Zhang, but I am the only one who is kept in the dark."

"Was it interesting to see me reporting my worries like a clown just now!"

However, Li Shimin didn't care about Fang Xuanling's complaints, his attention was attracted by the box that was sent in.

This box contained the new military rations that had just been delivered.

"You'er, explain it to me quickly!"

Li You didn't mean to show off at all, and stood beside the box after it came in.

After unpacking the box, Li You first carefully checked whether the food packaging in the box was intact, and whether there were any traces of tampering.

These things come from Shence Mansion, if Li Shimin has any problems after eating, then he can't bear the responsibility.

Li You's tiny movement was also noticed by everyone present, and everyone gave a look of approval.

Being in the royal family, especially in a high position, this kind of caution is very necessary.

In the past, these people were more or less prejudiced against Li You because of his informality in many cases, but this time the details made Li Shimin's confidant ministers pay more attention to Li You.

After the inspection, Li You first took out a compressed military ration, tore off the paper tape outside, and handed over your small packages one by one to Li Shimin and others.

"Your Majesty, this is the staple food in the new military ration researched by Shence Mansion. It is made of wheat, oil, sugar, and some sesame seeds and beans."

"Although you only have a small one in your hand, the Shence Mansion has done experiments, and an ordinary sergeant only needs to eat two sticks for a meal."

After listening to Li You's words, Li Jing looked at the small compressed ration in his hand in disbelief, and asked in disbelief, "King Yan, the average sergeant only eats two rations for a meal?"

"That is to say, you only need to eat four sticks a day?"

The army of the Tang Dynasty is still on a two-meal system, so Li Jing is talking about four meals.

Li You nodded and said, "It's true, but it's not entirely true."

"As I said just now, this is the staple ration, and there are supplementary rations in addition. If conditions permit, at least one canned food per day can ensure the soldiers' best combat effectiveness."

After speaking, Li You took out another can from the box and put it in Li Jing's hands.

After receiving the can, Li Jing was surprised again.

"Yan Wang, is this can made of iron? The price must be very expensive."

After the Modao incident, Li Jing and other generals finally realized the preciousness of iron.

Now, seeing that Li You's canned food is even packaged in iron, he naturally felt that this kind of military ration must be of great value.

However, Li You smiled and said, "It's just pig iron. Now not only in Hexi, but also around Chang'an, it can be mass-produced. It's not expensive."

In fact, Li Jing misunderstood this matter.

Because there is not so much iron, it is impossible to make the Mo knife. It is because the Mo knife uses refined iron and steel to ensure the strength of the knife.

There is no need for tin cans at all.

Although Li You explained, Li Jing was still skeptical.

Compared to Li Jing's skepticism, Li Shimin's was too much. He had already removed the paper wrapped outside the compressed military rations and gnawed it down.

"Father, slow down!"

However, Li You's warning was a bit late, and Li Shimin's bite barely knocked out his big teeth.

Fortunately, the compression strength in this era is not enough, and the military rations are not particularly strong.

If it really achieved the level of modern craftsmanship, it is estimated that Li Shimin will lose his teeth this time.

Li Shimin, who was embarrassed, was furious: "You'er, this military ration is so hard, how can you let the soldiers eat it!"

Li You quickly explained: "Father, calm down, this compressed military ration has been specially processed for the convenience of transportation, so it is a little different when you eat it, and you need to chew it carefully."

As he spoke, Li You slowly took a small bite from the side, and then began to chew slowly.

This time, Li Shimin and others imitated the example, and soon realized the joy of compressing military rations.

"Smell, it's really fragrant."

"You'er's compressed military rations, although you don't think there's anything to eat at the beginning, but after chewing carefully, the aftertaste is endless!"

Hearing this, Li You was also proud for a while.

[Of course, the basis of this compressed military ration is crispy biscuits, which are originally delicious and crunchy. 】

[Afterwards, it went through the crushing process, but added some dried fruit powder and granules, the fragrance is definitely enough. 】

Although these crushed military rations are very fragrant, they are also very dry. After eating, you will immediately want to drink water.

After Li Shimin ate half a stick of compressed military rations and drank half a glass of water, he felt a little full.

As for Li You's statement just now that a sergeant only eats two sticks for a meal, he no longer has any doubts.

"You'er, your compressed military rations are pretty good, how long can you keep them?"

Now, the taste, convenience and practicality of compressed military rations have been tested, and the rest is naturally preservation.

Hearing this question, Li You thought for a while and replied: "I can't answer this question for the time being."

"This compressed military ration has only been researched not long ago, and I don't know how long it will last."

"However, according to Erchen's estimation, if it is kept in the same way as the previous corn, it should not be a problem to store it for three to five years."

With Li You's words, Li Shimin felt relieved. Although this time was only an estimate, Li Shimin believed that Li You would not aimlessly.

After eating the compressed military rations, Li Shimin immediately set his sights on the canned food next to him.

"You'er, you said that the food in this can is supplementary food for the army, what is it in?"

In the meantime, Li You chuckled and said, "If the new army wants soldiers to be strong in battle, it's not enough to only eat food."

"If you want to fight well, you have to eat meat!"

After speaking, Li You took out a small knife from the box, and stabbed it hard.
