Chapter 444 Is the money easy to get?
Si Tian couldn't imagine how to make something filling yet not heavy and able to be stored for a long time.
"Brother, can you imagine what it is?"
Sima Ming couldn't imagine what it was now.
"Is it the same as cookies?" All Si Jinchen could think of was cookies.
"Compressed biscuits can compress all the nutrients inside!" Juanjuan nodded with a smile.
"Compressed biscuits?" Si Tian and Siming were both shocked.
Siming also thought of something. If compressed biscuits could really be made, it would not only ensure the nutrition of the soldiers during marches and battles, but also save time.
More importantly, it eliminates the risk of exposure caused by cooking with fire.
"Auntie Wu." Thinking of this, he stood up and went to find Auntie Wu.
Wu Ma was preparing to make cookies, thinking about what flavor to make them, when she heard Siming calling her.
She turned around and saw Siming walking into the kitchen: "General, what's wrong? Is there anything you want to eat?"
"No, I want to ask you if it's possible to add all the nutrients into the cookies, and the cookies should be able to be compressed without breaking."
After hearing this, Mother Wu felt overwhelmed. It had to be nutritious, compressed, and not break.
Is this a cookie?
Why do I feel like a brick?
"I've never made it, but I can give it a try. It just so happens that a lot of flour was delivered today."
Although she thought it was unlikely, she still wanted to try.
The housekeepers also came to help her when they had nothing to do.
"Auntie Wu, if the cookies are already powdered but are pressed very tightly, will they not break?"
"Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense. It feels a bit like the small pills that Huai Langzhong took." Aunt Wu thought of Huai Langzhong's pressed small pills.
"Let's try it. I'll make a mold for you. But our pressure might not be enough. We might have to think of other ways then."
The housekeeper looked at her after he finished speaking.
"I think it's okay. You can make some molds for me, but don't make them too big. It's best if they are the size of our palms. If they are compacted, it should be enough."
Aunt Wu gestured to him for a long time and confirmed the size.
Northern Government.
After the autumn harvest, the President was very satisfied with the result, and it was time to ease the situation in Beiyang City.
He called Pei Jingming to his office and said, "Jingming! You did a great job growing the grain this time. Although the yield wasn't very high, it's much better than that of the Taisho Empire."
"I heard that the Taisho Empire had no harvest. I'm afraid the people in their country will starve this year."
"They don't have talents as outstanding as you, otherwise they would have been able to grow 10% to 20% more food than in previous years."
"You're right, aren't you?"
Pei Jingming's heart skipped a beat. This news must not be spread to the Taisho Empire, otherwise he would definitely be taken back to farm.
This damn president is such a jerk. We sold you weapons after all, but you actually started gloating over our misfortune.
"What the President said is that the people from the Taisho Chamber of Commerce asked me to ask if I could sell them some food these days."
"After all, the relationship between our two countries is still quite good."
"Oh! I'm so sorry. You know our grain production has never been high. It's rare that we have an extra 10% or 20% in revenue this year."
"In previous years, the people were hungry and full, but now this little harvest is not enough to feed them."
The President looked embarrassed.
Pei Jingming clenched his fingers into fists, but a smile remained on his face. "They said they were willing to trade military equipment for food."
"There's really nothing we can do about this. Why don't you go to Beiyang City and ask? I'm also asking you to go to Beiyang City to present the award to Siming."
"I heard that they had another bumper harvest this year, and their granaries are almost full." The President said with some regret.
It's like giving away a sweet potato that's already in your hands.
"Is Beiyang City really productive again this year?" Pei Jingming was a little uncertain.
"Of course, including the territories under the jurisdiction of several surrounding governors, the grain yield is high."
"It's just that you're not familiar with them. If you ask them to buy food, they might not agree. It's better to go to Beiyang City. They're all old acquaintances there, so it'll be easier to talk to them."
"What do you think?" The President looked at him with a smile.
"The President has thought it through carefully. I will prepare to leave for Beiyang City now." Pei Jingming was very angry.
Everyone knows that Pei Jingming and Siming are sworn enemies. How can there be any friendship between them? Asking him to go to Siming to buy food, isn't this a humiliation to him?
But he couldn't refuse, and the empire also put pressure on him. Repeated failures had made the people of the empire very dissatisfied with him.
Fortunately, the people of the Taisho Empire did not recognize the value of those fake antiques, otherwise I would have been ripped open by that woman long ago.
Now he is asked to find a way to buy food, a task that no one can do.
"I'll prepare the documents over the next few days. Once they're ready, I'll let you know and send them to Beiyang City."
"General Manager Chen has worked hard and made great contributions over the years, and he should be rewarded accordingly." After the President said this, he waved at him and let him leave.
The secretary saw Pei Jingming leave and then spoke: "Mr. President, Pei Jingming is clearly helping the Dazheng Empire. Should we really let him go to Siming to buy food?"
"Si Ming is not that stupid. He won't sell him food." The President glanced at the map hanging on the wall.
"Beiyang City is very important. We must not hand it over to a spy or a traitor."
"Do you know why I haven't touched Sima Ming for all these years?" He retracted his gaze and looked at the secretary.
The secretary shook her head: "I don't know."
"In the eyes of outsiders, the more we disagree, the safer he is. Others will see opportunities, and we will be able to find some clues."
"Pull out these termites from the inside little by little." The President looked at a photo on the table.
If someone from the Si family saw this, they would definitely recognize that the two men above were the President and Si Qing.
This plan was also thought up by Si Qing. He knew that this position was being watched by many people, and defending one would not be enough to defend against another.
Even a tiger will take a nap sometimes, so it is better to pretend to be in discord and let these people jump out on their own initiative.
Although Si Qing is dead, he will still carry out this plan.
Pei Jingming is one of them, and there are many such parasites in the northern government and the entire country. He can now start to root them all out.
The President looked at the man in the photo: You have given birth to a good son. Beiyang City is like an iron barrel now, no one can get in.
The secretary looked at the president. At that moment he was a little confused. He had followed this person for a long time, but still couldn't see him clearly.
"Secretary Sun, is it easy to get the money from the Taisho Empire?" The President suddenly turned and looked at him.
