The Ming Dynasty started with caution

After receiving the order, Tan Gang gave him five taels of silver as a reward: "May I ask my father-in-law, why did your Majesty suddenly think of summoning your officials to the capital?"

Miao Kui didn't accept the money, but was surprised: "Master Tan, don't you know about Yan Chengjin?"

Tan Gang had heard about this person, and it was Yan Chengjin who supervised the unprecedented assessment of the vassal king.

But why would this person promote himself when he has nothing to do?

Miao Kui said nothing and did not eat in the mansion. He returned to the post and waited to go to Beijing with Tan Gang to pay the order.

The maid ran to the backyard happily: "Miss, don't you want to go to the capital to discuss medical skills with Wang Ji? Someone from the imperial court just came, and the master has been promoted to a capital official."

Tan Yunxian frowned slightly, before she could recover.

The maid continued to smile and said: "Miss can go to Huimin Pharmacy to practice medicine. With her medical skills, she will definitely become the chief engineer of Liangxiang, and the family will not have to save money."

There were no officials in Southern Zhili to please, and Tan Gang was only a fifth-grade doctor, with a salary of thirty dan per month. There were many people in the house, and life was very poor.

"Who did you listen to?"

"The notice posted by Lao Wang Bookstore states that medical women can practice medicine at Huimin Pharmacy."

Tan Yunxian's eyes were slightly bright. She was not interested in money, but she was very skeptical of Wang Ji's medical skills.

The prescriptions developed by this person have misled the world.

Beijing,

Since entering the palace, Queen Zhang has rested in the Jamsil Room in the harem.

Princess Taiping was born prematurely and had a weak constitution, so she also stayed in the silkworm room.

However, Queen Zhang produced very little milk. Although she was ashamed to mention this, it was a major event in the palace.

In the morning, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the ministers in the palace with eager eyes: "Do you have any candidates in the palace who can be Princess Taiping's wet nurse?"

The ministers looked at each other.

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and thought deeply. Princess Taiping was born prematurely and is prone to developmental delays.

The Ming Dynasty had clear regulations on the selection of wet nurses.

First, she is a woman of the right age between fifteen and twenty, with a dignified appearance, good health and no disease.

Secondly, the milk supply is sufficient, and the husband and children are healthy and healthy, without any disease.

For this purpose, the imperial court also set up a special institution, which was valued by the imperial court.

The carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao married his wet nurse Hakka, which made the group of wet nurses famous far and wide in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that no one in the palace responded, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing: "The chief ceremonial officer and the Jin Yiwei will select the wet nurse from among the military households, and send the wet nurse to the palace within two days."

There are many procedures for selecting wet nurses. The most important thing is that they are dignified in appearance and in good health.

And you have to choose between fifteen and twenty.

Many military households couldn't even get a wife. There was no wet nurse anywhere. Xiao Jing was in a dilemma: "I will send someone out of the palace to look for her right now."

Seeing Xiao Jing's constipated look, Yan Chengjin knew that it would be difficult for the factory guard to find a nanny.

The milk powder business was born. By borrowing the title of Princess Taiping, she could also name Taiping milk powder.

If the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce wants to become the first merchant gang in the imperial court, or even establish a commercial bank and issue banknotes, it needs sufficient public trust and silver reserves.

If you want silver, you need enough industrial income to support it.

And there is not a single milk powder seller in the world.

But you have to be able to make milk powder.

Back to the house,

Yan Chengjin ordered He Neng to pour two buckets of milk into a large pot and heat it until it boiled.

How can you see the milk in the pot getting less and less, and keep shouting in your heart, "Master, if you cook it any longer, it will be gone?"

"Stir, keep stirring, don't stop without my order."

When three or five servants came to the kitchen, they naturally did not dare to disobey Yan Chengjin's orders.

As long as the milk powder is spread out and dried on an iron sheet, it can be refined into powder.

After a while, the fragrance of milk in Yan's mansion became stronger and stronger.

Two days passed, and Xiao Jing still hadn't found the nanny, so he was running around anxiously.

Princess Taiping did not feed enough milk and had to supplement it with rice cereal. She was so hungry that she cried loudly.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang with pity in his eyes: "The empress is suffering. I have sent people to search for the wet nurse. She will be sent to the palace in a short time."

Although Empress Zhang was also anxious, she could only respond: "I understand, I understand."

The young eunuch came in and reported: "Master Yan is here to visit the empress and princess."

Not long after, Yan Chengjin walked into the silkworm room, holding a celadon jar in his hand. When he opened it, the fragrance of milk wafted into the back room.

Suddenly, Princess Taiping seemed to smell the smell of milk and cried.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin curiously: "What is in the hands of Yan Qing's family?"

"This product is called milk powder and has the same effect as breast milk."

Queen Zhang smelled it, and it was indeed exuding a strong milk fragrance.

Emperor Hongzhi had some scruples. From ancient times to the present, people have grown up drinking breast milk. When have you ever seen anyone eating this?

Princess Taiping cried even harder, and she couldn't stop no matter how much she tried to coax her.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, why don't you try taking this product with you? Maybe it can stop children from crying at night."

Xiao Jing hurriedly took down the milk powder, and soon a bowl of hot milk was presented.

After tasting it and it was non-toxic, he brought it to Princess Taiping's mouth.

After licking it with her tender little tongue, the crying stopped suddenly, and the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi and Queen Zhang shone.

"With this thing in the palace, why do we need a wet nurse? Where did Yan Qing's family get it?"

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "Your Majesty can order the Supervisor of Ceremonies to go to Liangxiang to purchase."

If you give it to Emperor Hongzhi for free, he may not accept it.

Empress Zhang met Yan Chengjin and suddenly said: "I heard that the academy in Liangxiang accepts female members?"

Emperor Hongzhi snorted: "I have received countless bullets in the past few days, all of which are memoranda to impeach Wang Yue."

Women practicing medicine in public would naturally arouse dissatisfaction among scholar-bureaucrats.

They united to write a bombshell to impeach Wang Yue and disturb the public atmosphere.

But Emperor Hongzhi knew what happened to Guan Wangyue?

Feeling His Majesty's gaze, Yan Chengjin felt embarrassed. Wang Yue could be famous forever, and he was the one who suffered.

The little eunuch came in and reported: "My dear, Madam Jin is here."

Since her brother went to sea, Empress Zhang ordered people 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.

Empress Zhang looked at her with pity in her eyes and sighed secretly: "My mother has some suspicions about my brother, so I will confess to her today."

"I'm going back to the palace first."

Women cannot help crying when they talk about such sad things.

Moreover, there are many sparse memorials in Fengtian Hall, waiting for his review.

Not long after, an old woman in gorgeous clothes walked into the silkworm room, bowed slightly, and stood aside.

After greeting her, Empress Zhang expressed her affection: "Half a year ago, my brother went to sea to look for silver mountains. The sea is extremely dangerous. I am afraid that my brother will die in the sea early."

Mrs. Jin shed tears sadly on the sidelines as if she was struck by lightning.

Yan Chengjin hesitated in his heart. The two brothers were not dead yet, but they were at the Iwami Silver Mine in the island country.

Do you want to report it to His Majesty?

…

island country,

A Japanese man knelt down in front of Youemon and reported: "My subordinate did not receive the silk. The man said that he did not know the two of them."

Iemon's hand holding the katana had veins popping out, and he was furious.

"I ordered my fleet to go to the Ming Dynasty in vain. Capture these two and kill them myself!"

In the kitchen, Zhang Yanling took a bamboo tube to blow the fire and blew a breath. The fire in the stove became a little stronger.

Since being captured, he has to do laundry, cook food and pour night fragrance every day.

But he was full of energy and said happily: "Brother, in a few days, someone will come to redeem us."

"Hmph! These hateful Japanese, when the Ming army comes in person, I will kill Youemon with my own hands, occupy his mines, and make him want me to tell stories every day!" Zhang Heling also said happily.

Zhang Yanling's eyes shone brightly and she said happily: "I want to kill Tailang Wei too."

Bang!

The sudden attack scared the two brothers into panic.

I saw four guards with knives walking in from outside the door, and roughly carried the two of them to the courtyard.

The Zhang brothers knelt on the ground, and Youemon pulled out his knife and became furious: "How dare you lie to me and kill you!"

The two of them were trembling, but that bitch Yan Chengjin didn't even try to save him!

Zhang Heling had no time to think, and saw that the knife was about to fall. He was so frightened that he almost urinated.

Suddenly, Zhang Yanling stood up very calmly: "Stop!"

As he spoke, he took off his shoes and saw a piece of copper poured out of his foot bag.

"This is the death-free gold medal of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty gave it to me when I was knighted!"

Zhang Yanling looked at Zhang Heling proudly: "Brother, I learned it from Yan Chengjin. It can really save lives if you carry it with you!"

Zhang Heling wants to beat him to death. If you have the gold medal to avoid death, don't you take it out earlier!
