"To tell you the truth, the concoction of this item requires a secret recipe, and there is a key seasoning in the recipe. Even I have difficulty obtaining it.”
"Therefore…"
Zhu Rong opened his hand, indicating that he understood.
"Brother Qin, there's no need to say anymore. This king understands!”
"No matter how much a jar of minced meat costs, my Jin Wang Fu will buy 10,000 jars from you every year.”
When Qin Mu heard this, his eyes widened.
He was originally worried about how to settle the womenfolk in the military households. Although some womenfolk could be arranged to cook at the construction site, the capacity was limited.
Therefore, he had been thinking about building a military factory to produce some bedding, clothing, military rations, and other things.
However, he hadn't even built a factory here, and he had already accepted such a big order. How could he not be overjoyed?
"Prince Jin is straightforward!"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. This canned meat is made from high-quality pork, added with more than ten precious spices, and cooked under high temperature and pressure!”
"The pork in this small box weighs at least two catties!”
"Moreover, this item is extremely durable and can be stored for five years without deteriorating. It is indeed a must-have item for marching and fighting!”
"Can it guarantee that it won't go bad for five years?"
When Zhu Rong heard Qin Mu mention the high quality pork and expensive spices, he didn't have any reaction.
As a noble prince, he had to deal with some merchants. He knew that these words were just a means to raise the price.
However, when he heard the phrase " five years without change ", his calm face was slightly moved.
He was not an ordinary vassal king. He was a prince who was responsible for guarding the border of Ming Dynasty and fighting with Meng Yuan outside the border all year round.
Therefore, he knew very well how important it was to have military rations that tasted good, were easy to carry, and could be stored.
"Of course!"
"As long as the iron box is not bulging, in principle, it can be guaranteed to be fresh for at least five years!”
"Then how much is this item worth?"
Zhu Rong felt that he had to ask about the price. If it could really guarantee that it would not go bad for five years, then the price would definitely be ridiculously high.
Qin Mu smiled faintly.
"It's not expensive!"
"A box is only 500 coins!"
"Five hundred coins?"
Even though he was the Prince of Jin, Zhu Rong was shocked when he heard this number.
In the market, a pound of pork was only 20 copper coins.
After being put into such a metal can by this kid, the price actually directly increased by ten times!
10,000 cans of canned food would cost 5,000 taels of silver!
His title as a prince only gave him a salary of about ten thousand taels of silver a year.
He had to spend half of it on canned food?
"Brother Qin!"
" I'm thinking about buying canned food…"
"Hey, didn't we agree…"
"That, this king will eat first as a respect!”
After hearing Qin Mu's offer, King Zhu Rong buried his head in the canned meat and couldn't extricate himself.
Firstly, the canned meat was indeed delicious. Secondly, it was to ease the awkwardness.
He, a dignified prince, actually went back on his word and lost all his face…
Since Zhu Xi didn't respond, Qin Mu couldn't just watch as his business went down.
"Prince Jin, if you think the price is too high, we can discuss it…"
"Um…"
Zhu Rong had decided to go back on his word. It was fine to buy a few hundred cans of such expensive canned food every year to try it out. If he really bought ten thousand cans, his Jin Wang Fu would go bankrupt.
When Zhu Xi heard that the front was not going to let it go, he hurriedly changed the subject.
"Eh?"
"Brother Qin, your encampment is not bad!”
"There are chairs, pergola, and a place to boil water and drink tea!”
"By the way, what are those small houses over there for?”
"You didn't move your house here, did you?”
Qin Mu followed Zhu Rong's gaze and saw that the houses he was talking about were a few simple houses built on a handcart.
"Oh!"
"Are you talking about the houses in the car?”
"That's a toilet, it's for soldiers to relieve themselves!”
"Holy sh * t!"
When Zhu Xiong heard this, he slapped his thigh in admiration.
"Brother!"
"You're so smart that you even thought of this!”
"Speaking of which, what is the background of your Xuanwu Guard? Do you have any special uses?”
"If you don't break any taboos, go to Shanxi with me and be a general there. I promise I won't treat you badly!”
Zhu Rong really cherished this talent.
Great Ming did not lack proud soldiers and valiant generals, nor did it lack generals and soldiers who could fight tough battles.
What they lacked was a quartermaster who could take care of the logistics in the army!
It was also a military exercise. Other people's encampments were in a mess, but this 'Xuanwu Guard' who had appeared out of nowhere was orderly and orderly.
Although the soldiers were not very skinny and were all children, they were still very young.
But the commander was powerful!
Not only did they prepare food and drinks in advance, but they also prepared the toilet for personal matters.
This kind of meticulous and powerful commander was the best of all the Great Ming armies.
If he was slow, it might be snatched away by others!
"Brother Qin, think about it?”
"Uhh…"
To be honest, Qin Mu was tempted for a moment.
After all, this Prince Jin was easy-going and had a good temper. He was quite suitable to make friends.
However, when he thought about how this fellow was short-lived and could only live for 31 years, Qin Mu lost interest.
If you want to follow us, you have to follow Zhu Di!
This was the future Ming Chengzu. The Yongle Dynasty he founded had defeated the Mongolians until they threw away their armor.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Prince Jin. However, I have a position on my body and it is not convenient for me to transfer it at will!”
The King of Jin revealed a look of pity.
What a good quartermaster. If he caught him, he would probably be able to take a hot bath at the front line when he fought against the Prairies people in the future!
However, Zhu Rong was not discouraged. He planned to go back and beg the old man to give him this person after the military exercise was over!
With Old Master Zhu's love for him, this request should not be difficult!
However, what Zhu Rong didn't expect was that before he could go to the old man, the old man's reprimand was already one step ahead!
Just as the two of them were conversing, a young eunuch rode a fast horse and hurried over to Qin Mu's camp.
"Jin Wang Zhu Xi accepts the decree!"
Zhu Rong looked at the little eunuch in a daze, his head full of question marks.
He had been in the capital for a few days. He had tried to enter the palace to visit his father several times, but his father had always rejected him.
What was going on today? He had just gotten into formation, and the imperial edict had arrived?
Zhu Yuanzhang often rewarded the princes, so he thought that his father had sent someone to reward him.
However, just as Zhu Rong knelt down respectfully and was about to accept the reward, the young eunuch's words almost scared him to death.
"A verbal order!"
"Zhu Rong, you bastard, do you still have any face?”
"Half a year's salary penalty!"
"Respect this!"
When Zhu Xiong heard the order, he almost stood up and beat up the eunuch.
"Dog, who are you calling a bastard?”
The young eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed when he saw Zhu Rong fly into a rage.
"Third Grandpa, this lowly one is passing on His Majesty's words. This is how His Majesty scolds, it has nothing to do with this lowly one!”
Just as Zhu Rong was about to hit someone, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away on the city gate, was also hopping mad.
"This unfilial son, disregarding ethics, actually calling his own nephew younger brother. This is really infuriating!”
