Chapter 1628 True Decision

Relying on the prosperous grain processing industry, a large number of by-products such as bran germ dregs were produced, which were just processed into puffed concentrate feed to supplement nutrition for livestock transferred to Xiongzhou and Bazhou.

Because there are so many livestock, no matter how carefully they are cooked, there will inevitably be death. Because all kinds of grains are gathered here to process, the people try every means to process cheap grain powder into more delicious things, so these things naturally came into being.

It is not surprising that it is much earlier than in real history.

Hejian bacon is made of pork. The initial method is similar to braised pork, but it will be fished out later, and then smoked with a method similar to Liangzhe Road smoked fish.

Unlike other methods of braised pork, green onion and garlic, sweet noodle sauce, black noodle sauce, sauce tofu, soy sauce and vinegar will be added.

When smoking, use cypress sawdust, put three to four liang in the pot, cover the pot and heat it over low heat for a quarter of an hour.

It seems rough and the meat slices are half inch thick, but they are a Kung Fu dish that can't be taken down in just a few hours.

Thick stew is a mixed grain noodles. Because the stew is not gluten enough, it is necessary to use a special tool for pressing the thin stew, called the "thick stew bed". The bed is made of thick and curved wood, a round hole is dug in the middle, and a piece of iron sheet covered with small holes is inlaid on the bottom. A wooden stick is added parallel to the bed, and a wooden core is placed in the center to make it move up and down like a piston.

Place the stew bed on the pot. When the water boils, fill the kneaded dough blank with a round hole, then place the core at the hole, use a wooden stick, and press it down vigorously. The noodles fall into the pot through the small hole. After the noodles are cooked, they are taken into the bowl, poured with various marinades, and then eaten.

In order to increase the toughness of noodles, ordinary people have also found an additive called "noodle", which is actually the fine powder of wormwood seeds, which can increase viscosity.

The old mutton soup used for Hejianfu glutinous rice, mung bean sprouts are used for the bottom of the bowl, and the mixed garlic paste is sprinkled with some minced coriander, which tastes very fresh.

There is nothing to say about fire burning. The only difference is that fire burning is not made of donkey meat, but horse meat.

Suyou is not afraid of this being a dead horse's meat. After all, the time for braised cooking is long, and any germs will be killed. As long as the meat is fresh, it is fine.

In addition to its slightly coarse taste, it actually tastes very good, especially the meat is covered with "toppings" made of marinade and flour, which makes the taste even more intense.

However, Suyou did not dare to inquire about the formula and methods in detail. At most, it would be written in the "Cooking Classic" as a strange story.

After all, eating horses is more taboo than eating cows. The Song Dynasty has not reached the level of "horse freedom" so far.

If Zhao Xu saw it and wanted to taste horse meat, the court officials were afraid that they would not spray themselves to death.

The court recently lost another minister, the Right Guanglu Dafu, and the Privy Council official Sun Gu.

Sun Gu can be said to be the righteous minister in the world. He has a sincere heart and does not like being flirted with. He once said, "People should take sages as teachers. A single person is not worth learning."

He started at the Shenzong vassal residence and said, "If you love your relatives, you will be full of all."

Fu Yaoyu once discussed: "Sima Gong's purity, Sun Gong's virtue, and Su Xiang's wisdom and intelligence are the so-called trustless people." The world believes that it is a clear argument.

In real history, Sun Gu was the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor. At that time, he tried every means to stop the Northern Expedition and believed that the Song Dynasty was not ready. The various prophecies he made were tragically fulfilled in the Battle of Pingxia in real history.

Therefore, it can be said that Sun Gu’s strategic vision and political literacy are not profound. He was the first to be in Hebei and returned from the Liao Kingdom for a person who had returned from the country for negotiations!

Just because he was a censor, everyone valued his integrity and dared to speak out, and often ignored this aspect.

In this time and space, Sun Gu saw that the attack on Xia was unstoppable, so he turned to Zhao Xu and asked Su You to preside over the battle against Xia.

Zhao Xu was unwilling to agree at first, thinking that Xia State was easy to ask his uncle to go to the parade to get credit for nothing.

Sun Gu went to persuade Lu Gong again. The two old men twisted Zhao Xu's trouble every day and wrote letters to the bigwigs of various ways to ask for support. In the end, Zhao Xu could not bear it and determined Su You as the commander of the six routes.

During the war, the old man changed his previous obstructive posture and vigorously cooperated with the front-line actions. Even when Su You and Gao Zunyu were "surrounded", he persuaded Zhao Xu to strengthen his confidence and believe that the commanders ahead should not lose their own position first.

It should be said that Sun Gu's escort in the court played an unparalleled and tremendous role in the smooth implementation of the situation of Pingxia.

When he heard that Sun Gu passed away, the Empress Dowager and Zhao Xu both cried out and stopped looking for the court for three days. He was awarded the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and was named Wen Jing.

Su You also wrote a tribute to Sun Gu, which vividly depicted Sun Gu's performance before and after the proposal for the Pangxia War, believing that everyone ignored his far-reaching and insightful side;

He also described his performance in the war process, believing that everyone ignored his noble character, regardless of his personal reputation, and his gains and losses were not ruined.

It can be regarded as an example among scholars and officials.

In June, Suyou arrived at another big town on Hebei Road - Zhending Mansion.

The reason why Zhending Prefecture is important is that there is a natural barrier here, Jingxing, which can reach Taiyuan Prefecture westward, and is the most important channel for Hebei Third Road to connect Hedong Road.

Su You met two wronged goods here, Song Yongchen and Shen Kuo.

Both of them deserve it. Shen Kuo did not strictly implement the court's filing system, which led to such a big leak in Bozhou.

Because Song Yongchen was a middle-aged official, he was not favored by scholars and officials. In addition, he had been in charge of major projects for a long time and was extremely fond of it. He was caught by the newly-entered Liu Zhengfu and impeached him for accepting bribes and dereliction of duty.

God is pitiful. Taking bribes is really a bribe, but there is really no dereliction of duty.

However, the impeachment of the censors was too strong. Gao Taotao thought that he had done a lot of hard work for the national royal family after all, especially the governance of the Yellow River, which was a memorial for hundreds of generations. So he summoned him into the palace, presented evidence of his bribery and memorials from his ministers, and asked him how he wanted to commit it.

Song Yongchen cried so hard that he only wanted to die.

Only then did Gao Taotao burn the evidence and kept the memorial. He told Song Yongchen that it was not so easy to die. When Su Zhixiang Prime Minister was using people, now looking at the world, only Su Zhixiang Prime Minister can tolerate you.

Recently, I have suggested that we should examine two routes that communicate between Taiyuan and Zhending. Shen Kuo is now in Taiyuan, so you can go to Zhending.

When he saw the two of Su You, he was not angry. Shen Kuo didn't talk about him. Song Yongchen was really inappropriate: "Tell me if you lack money, you can use your skills within your ability. The School of Geography of the Jingshi University, the School of Architecture, and the School of Architecture can have you one less dean position? The Department of Construction can have you one less consecrated?"

"These two items combined are more than 500 trump cards per month, and the Zhengfeng is not much worse than the priest. How much money can you spend with the official? "

Song Yongchen cried out and cried out: "If the minister doesn't know anything, the contracting projects are all nobles. In addition to business, they are the masters, and the subordinates are just slaves. If the master rewards, will the slaves dare not accept them?"

"You said that the person who was arranged by the Gao Zhengzhou will take over a section of the railway and invite you to have a meal to give you some gifts. Is this the official who gives him face, or is he giving him face?"

Su You couldn't help but laugh and cry. This is still a layer of truth inside...

The official is the first party, the royal family is the first party, and the legendary father of the Party A is really awkward in the Song Dynasty.

The court officials dare not make trouble when they impeach, so they can only take the blame bravely.

I guess Gao Taotao knew this, so he raised it high and gently put it down, and brought Lao Songfa to him.

After all, I am the initiator. After knowing the tricks here, I will not be too harsh on Song Yongchen.

In fact, both of them are capable ministers, and they can definitely play their talents under their own hands and will soon make a comeback with their contributions.

Taiyuan produces copper. For Shen Kuo, it is easy to vigorously introduce wet copper smelting. As long as the explosives and sulfuric acid are enough, it is only easy to double the production capacity of Taiyuan copper smelting in a year.

Many large factories, major roads and river dredging projects in Hebei, which can be extracted from the top engineering management experts of the Song Dynasty, which can be called small projects, can only be called small projects.

Sure enough, after a few words, Song Yongchen and Shen Kuo turned out the drawings: "We have not been idle these few months. Look at it. It turns out that the railway can be built between Taiyuan and Zhending!"

Su You only glanced at the map: "Both of you are both very enthusiastic. These are two railways. Are you killing me?"

Shen Kuo quickly said, "No, we have surveyed both lines so that the physicists can choose one to build."

Su You said: "I asked you to survey it because I hope to use the canal and transport it through water. Who asked you to build a railway?"

Shen Kuo said: "After investigation, we found a problem. The current water flow of several tributaries is not abundant, which is very different from that of the Han Dynasty and is no longer enough to support the canal transportation."

"But there is another advantage, that is, the waterline drops, revealing a large section of flat riverbed, but it creates convenience for the construction of railways."

"In addition to the investment in railways is higher than that of opening canals, the profit is actually no less than that of the canal transport, so it can be implemented."
