Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 174 The bet with the Great Khan, the first meeting with Polo, the Han prince
"Yeah! Is this thing the same as our milk powder?" Genghis Khan nodded.

Genghis Khan felt that the production process of this compressed biscuit powder was similar to that of Mongolian milk powder, so the Mongolian Khan did not have many surprises.

It is even far less practical than the gold mine distribution map that Wokuotai just presented and the idea of ​​building livestock sheds proposed by Zhang Yong.

Isn’t this just like milk powder?Moreover, milk, various wheat, egg whites, sugar and other items are also used. If the output can be slightly increased or the raw materials can be reduced, he can accept it.

Wheat, eggs, milk, these things are easy to say, eggs can be obtained by raising some chickens, and wheat can also be grown. (In fact, you can also write chicken at this time, but you can read it more smoothly when writing eggs.)
As for milk, this is what Mongolians are most in need of. Even horse milk and goat milk can be used to make milk powder and dried milk.

But sugar is not easy to get. This thing is strictly controlled by the people of Song Dynasty.

"Boy Zhang Yong, we have a lot of eggs, wheat flour, and milk, but we don't have sugar!" Genghis Khan said.

"Great Khan! Last time, when Lord Ogedei and I went on an expedition to the Delhi Sultanate, we brought a large number of seeds, including a plant called beet.

As long as this plant is grown, it can be refined to obtain white sugar, so we will not be short of white sugar in the future. We can easily obtain the raw materials for the things I proposed. "Zhang Yong said.

Apparently, the Mongolian Khan thought that the compressed biscuit powder he proposed was similar to his milk powder, but the difference between the two was huge.

This thing is much more valuable than milk powder. The nutrition that milk powder can provide is very simple, but this thing can be said to provide extremely comprehensive and balanced calories.

You can even add some animal ghee to it for frying, which is extremely nutritious.

If an ordinary soldier eats the same weight of biscuit powder, the degree of hunger resistance and the degree of nutrition obtained by milk powder are completely different.

Carrying the same weight of compressed biscuit powder on your back can keep these soldiers strong enough to fight for more than ten consecutive days, but if you only eat milk powder, it is not enough.

Moreover, the current process of making milk powder in Mongolia is to boil fresh milk in a pot. In fact, the principle is similar to that of dried milk, except that it is ground into powder.

It is completely different from later generations of milk powder that added various sugars and other nutrients.

And in terms of output, it should be higher than milk powder, after all, wheat is used as a staple food.

"Oh! White sugar is a good thing. If this can be grown, then you should get it out quickly." Genghis Khan's eyes lit up when he heard that white sugar could be produced and he said.

White sugar is indeed a good thing. Even in the eyes of Genghis Khan, the importance of white sugar lies in the essence of compressed biscuits.

"Sweat! Do you think the effect of this compressed biscuit powder is about the same as milk powder? Why don't we make a bet and find ten warriors, five of whom will eat this compressed biscuit powder, and five of them will eat milk powder. Let's see which of them gets hungry first. "How many days can we eat the same food in the same bag and see which food is more convenient to carry?" Zhang Yong said.

Speaking with facts is the last word. Since Genghis Khan doesn't believe it, then give him a small surprise.Just do an experiment.

The process of making compressed biscuit powder is not difficult. Now you only need to find an oven to make it. By comparing the two, Genghis Khan can judge which one is better.

"Okay! Since you are so confident, let's make it. Let's make a bet. If you win, I will reward you with [-] sheep. If you lose, the tax will be reduced from five years to Do you dare to wait for four years?" Genghis Khan asked.

"Then thank the Great Khan for rewarding me with [-] sheep."

"Haha, as long as you have confidence, I will leave for Zhongxing Mansion tomorrow. Zhang Yong, please arrange your family affairs and then set off with me." Genghis Khan smiled and asked.

"It's sweat!"

"Well! Take my token and go get the ten thousand stones of food and grass." Genghis Khan handed the gold medal in his hand to Zhang Yong and said.

"Thank you Khan!" Zhang Yong said.

"Father! If nothing happens, Zhang Yong and I will leave first." Seeing that Zhang Yong had finished everything, Wo Kuotai said.

Genghis Khan nodded and waved to indicate that Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai could leave.

After bidding farewell to Genghis Khan, Zhang Yong immediately took the token to withdraw [-] stones of grain and grass from the quartermaster, and arranged for someone to deposit it into the treasury of Xiliang Mansion.

"Go back and have a good rest! Tomorrow we will go to Zhongxing Mansion. When we come back, we will start to manage your breeding farm and compressed biscuit powder. Don't screw it up." Wo Kuotai said before leaving.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I am fully confident that I can accomplish this." Zhang Yong said.

This operation can be said to be a complete success. In this case, the agenda tax collected by oneself does not need to be handed over, and can be kept for one's own use.

Zhang Yong estimated that he could collect about [-] shi of grain through tax collection, and by then he would have [-] shi of grain and grass in his hands.

Add in some dairy products and eat mutton, and the food problem is basically completely solved.

I have food in my hands, so I don’t panic!

After returning to his home that night, Zhang Yong first found several of his men.

The dog-legged Bamuyi, the translator in Khwarezm was named Amati, and the Han general Zhang Danshen who had taken refuge with him introduced a Han officer named Wang Ming to him, and there was also a Xixia general Tolu who had taken refuge with him during this period. .

"What are your orders, sir?" Zhang Danshen was the first to ask.

"Tomorrow I will send troops with the Great Khan to Zhongxing Mansion, the capital of Xixia. It will take about half a month. By then, the affairs in the territory will be left to you.

You have only done two things in this half month. The first is to prepare the autumn harvest and all the people's crops.Just take [-]% of it and put it into the treasury. "Zhang Yong said.

"Sir, don't worry about this matter. I will urge the people to do it. It is easy to collect even if you only pay [-]% of the tax." Xixia General Tuolu said.

"Don't worry, sir, we will naturally handle what you asked us to do."

"Sir! I'll watch them make clods."

"Well! The second thing is the kind of soil I gave you. You should work hard to make it during this period. The more you make, the better, and then store it uniformly on the grassland of Xining Prefecture." Zhang Yong said.

Several of his men nodded. During this time, Zhang Yong had told them the detailed method of making the soil blocks. The production principle was still very simple, and there were sufficient materials nearby.

"Well! All those who work, let them have enough to eat every day, and never starve them. Get up every morning to work, and let them have a little rest after eating at noon. Let them go back to sleep when it gets dark, and they must not be abused. "Zhang Yong said.

"My lord is kind, I would like to thank you on behalf of the brothers who are working." Zhang Danshen knelt on the ground and said.

"They are all my people from now on, so I will naturally treat them better. This is what they should be. You don't have to thank me."

In the following time, Zhang Yong will arrange for the local people in Xixia to be responsible for the autumn harvest, while his more than 4 Han people will be responsible for making a sufficient number of soil blocks, and when he returns, he will start major construction.

After giving some instructions, Zhang Yong sent several of his men away.

"Master! Do you have anything to tell me?" Tu Lanlun, who was sitting nearby, came over and asked.

"You don't have anything too important, you just need to watch them work hard, and don't let any of them steal their food and wages or anything like that.

Also, my father-in-law Wo Kuotai will give me another three thousand sheep. You are responsible for receiving them, and nothing else will happen. You take good care of the other little sisters. "Zhang Yong said.

"Well! Don't worry! I know all the things you ordered me to do. By the way, when will you take over that girl Xiaoyun? I have already taken care of her mother's affairs." Tu Lanlun said.

For this matter, she asked her mother and Genghis Khan's eldest wife, Bortie, for help. This Han woman, Wo Kuotai, didn't even remember it, so there was no problem in bringing her over directly.

After all, it's just a girl who is filial to her mother.

"Let's wait until we finish attacking Linzhao Mansion! Let's wait until my territory is completely settled. After all, Xiliang Mansion is not a permanent place." Zhang Yong said.

"Okay! Let me tell that girl not to worry." Tu Lanlun nodded and said. "It seems that you have a really good relationship with that little girl from the Wokuotai family! I don't have to worry about you two getting along," Zhang Yong said.

"No, that girl's personality is quite similar to mine. The two of us have played well since we were young. I'm just a few years older than her," Tu Lanlun said.

And in her original plan, even if she didn't marry Zhang Yong, she would ask for that girl Xiaoyun to be her husband's wife.

Because Mongolian noble men marry more wives, she has to find some trustworthy helpers to work with her.

"That's fine. I'll leave the family affairs to you. Go to sleep!" Zhang Yong waved his hand and said.

Today was a little busy, and he didn't even want to do his daily copying homework.

"Master! You have to take care of yourself!" Tu Lanlun said with concern.

"Well! Go to sleep!"

After a night of silence, Zhang Yong drove his beloved off-road vehicle early the next morning and arrived at the gathering point of Genghis Khan's army.

Last night, Genghis Khan specially greeted Zhang Yong, and this time he went to the capital of Xixia to surrender.

He asked Zhang Yong to drive the off-road vehicle. This time Genghis Khan did not plan to ride a horse, but planned to take a car.

No way, who calls his off-road vehicle majestic?For something as showy as accepting surrender, it was natural to drive a bigger mount.

Before the army set off, Genghis Khan stood on the roof of the car and said some morale-boosting words, then got on Zhang Yong's off-road vehicle. Hundreds of cavalry led the way, and the army marched towards Zhongxingfu, the capital of Xixia.

Along the way, Genghis Khan sat comfortably in Zhang Yong's off-road vehicle, listening to songs and spent six days walking to the gate of Zhongxing Mansion.

At this time, several other Mongol armies had also gathered here, including the northern Mongolian-Han army led by Polo, the grassland army led by Torre, and Genghis Khan's headquarters.

"Meet the Great Khan!" A Mongolian general who looked to be in his thirties came to Genghis Khan, knelt down and said.

This man was Bolu, the son of Muhuali, the leader of the Four Mongolian Heroes. He had just taken over the job from his father a year ago and began to command the Mongolian army in the north, as well as the Han Shihou warlords.

Behind him, followed a large group of troops led by Han Shihou.

At this time, a large group of Han people were waiting to watch this giant iron car that could run on its own.I was also very surprised, I didn't expect the rumors to be true.

Some things about Zhang Yong are very popular among the Han people!Why did the Great Khan become a descendant of Donghuang Taiyi? Why did this person have countless artifacts in his hand?

But seeing is better than hearing. Today they finally saw this iron car that they could run on, and they didn't know whether his flying artifact was real or fake.

For Zhang Yong, the celebrity in front of Genghis Khan, a large group of Han princes planned to make friends and get close to each other. After all, they would be considered a group in the future, all Han princes and warlords.

Mongolia had promised them, the Han marquis warlords, that all their marquis positions would be passed down from generation to generation, and they could also recruit their own territories and soldiers.

It's just that they are from Hebei, and they were originally some local powerful people, and the Mongols chose to recruit them.

Zhang Yong, on the other hand, completely followed Genghis Khan and entered their ranks from a white body. This person still has something extraordinary.

But there are also many Han people who look down upon Zhang Yong very much.

I feel that he is just a charlatan, just like those Taoist priests and Buddhist monks who only know some deceptive tricks.

Only in this way can Genghis Khan be deceived into receiving a high official and a generous salary.

Wherever they are like them, it is all due to hard work and hard work.

However, seeing the iron car that they could run with their own eyes today shocked them quite a bit.

"Well! Thank you for your hard work. Like your father Mu Huali, you are both rare and handsome people. This time you did a good job in the Kingdom of Jin. Without you, the war in Xixia would not have progressed so smoothly. ." Genghis Khan stepped forward to help Bolu up and said.

"Serving the Great Khan, Polo dare not claim credit." Polo knelt on the ground and said.

"Well! Get up! I know that you father and son have worked very hard these years. In the future, your Muhuali family will guard the Hebei area for me for generations."

After Genghis Khan finished speaking, he stepped forward and helped Bolu, the son of Muhuali, up.

After Bolu stood up, he looked at Zhang Yong who was standing next to Genghis Khan and asked. :
"Bhan! This is Zhang Yong, the man who has been rumored to have mistakenly entered the cave of the gods for thousands of years, right?"

"Well! This kid is Zhang Yong, who came out of the God's cave. He spent three years in the God's cave and lived a thousand years in the human world.

He has many artifacts in his hands. This iron car that can run on its own is one of his artifacts. I will give you gasoline to burn the sun fire in the sky. This kid also made it. "Genghis Khan said.

After returning east, Genghis Khan had immediately sent some petroleum raw materials and some craftsmen who prepared gasoline to Polo.

Let them also use this kind of flame that cannot be extinguished by water, which formed a very effective blow to the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom.

"Mr. Zhang, your gasoline is very easy to use. It is a weapon for field siege. It has helped our northern army a lot. Thank you Polu." Polu came to Zhang Yong and said.

"General Polo, you're welcome! These were given to the Great Khan by the man of God through my hands," Zhang Yong said.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang, you also have a flying artifact, and an artifact that emits light and shadow. I don't know whether it is true or not." At this time, behind Polo, a Han general in his twenties stood up and asked.

"Who is this!" Zhang Yong made a show, and the young general in front of him asked.

"Shi Tianze, I'm here to pay my respects to Mr. Zhang." The young general in his twenties came to Zhang Yong, smiled and said.

It was you!
The real leader of the Han people in the future, the real power in Hebei, Shi Tianze, the Han people's prince.

"It turns out to be General Shi. Sorry! Sorry! These things do exist, including flying artifacts and light and shadow artifacts. I will show them to you later." Zhang Yong said.

As long as these two things have sufficient power and are well maintained, there will be no problem in using them for ten or even 20 years. Naturally, I want to show them off.

"In that case! We are really lucky to be able to see the legendary artifact. We should pay homage to it." Shi Tianze said.

"At night, I asked Zhang Yong to use the artifact that can emit light and shadow to show you the scenes from ancient times.

Then use the Feitian Artifact to fly to Zhongxing Mansion and have a look. "Genghis Khan said.

He also saw that although these Han princes were polite to Zhang Yong on the surface, they were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

After all, this kid is a white man, and they, and even their family.They are all famous powerful men in Hebei area.

After everyone exchanged some polite words, under the guidance of Polo, Genghis Khan and a large group of Mongolian and Han generals went to the Chinese army's tent.

"Bolu! What's the situation over there in Xixia? My army has arrived. When will they come out and surrender to me?" Genghis Khan asked after sitting down.

"Great Khan! As soon as I arrived here, I sent envoys to the city to inquire. The response from Xixia was that they need to prepare some gifts to present to the Great Khan. I hope the Great Khan can give them another month to prepare gifts. ." Polo said.

To be honest, this is Xixia's old trick, delaying again and again, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Hmph! You send an envoy into the Xixia city again and tell them that there are still three days left before the agreed time. After three days, if I don't see the Xixia leader coming to surrender in front of me, then I will attack Xixia Zhongxing Mansion." Gengjies Khan's face changed and he said said.
