I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 180
That's vegetable oil!
Do you know what it means?Once the technology of making soybean oil spreads, more people will be able to eat the oil.

Leaving aside the question of whether soybean oil is cheap or not.The most important thing is that the thinking that plants can refine oil is opened, and there will definitely be people who try to refine oil with other plants. The more plants that can refine oil are found, the easier it is to solve the problem of people eating oil, and then for generations to come People have contributed to strengthening their physique.

Sima Rangju's thinking has a considerable strategic height. When he learned that Zhishi refined oil from plants, he immediately understood the significance of it.

His obeisance was not for anything else, but to respect Zhishi for finding a new source of oil refining species for future generations.

Of course, he is not representing the living or unborn people, but only representing himself.

There are not many people who are qualified to represent a certain group, either they are the boss of a certain group, or they are high-ranking officials serving in the country.It's obvious that no one can control it, but they always like to represent certain people or even the country, it will be a joke.

Zhiyao can't represent the entire Zhi family now, at most she can represent herself, avoiding Sima Rangju's salute, and said with a smile: "It's just waiting for the vassal's gift, thank you sir."

At present, Zhishi can not only extract oil from various beans, but has actually grown rapeseed on a large scale.There is no need to let Sima Rangju know about this for the time being.

Rapeseed flowers themselves cannot extract oil, but the seeds of rapeseed flowers that can extract oil.The oil it squeezes is natural edible oil, which is actually more fragrant than soybean oil.

Zhiyao invited Sima Rangju to have a whole bean feast in the workshop.

There will be dregs in soybean oil, and the dregs can be used to make bean cakes, soy milk, and tofu. Those who are rich can use the dregs to make feed.

Of course, in the age of Spring and Autumn, there is not enough food for people, so Zhishi will not use the bean dregs after oil extraction to make feed.

There is no need for Zhiyao to introduce bean cakes, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Period, and people have been making bean cakes since ancient times.

Sima Rangju, who had never seen tofu before, was shocked again. He had quite a lot of doubts in his heart while eating tofu made in a different way.

"It's a pity that there is no chili, otherwise..." Zhiyao was also eating tofu, but her heart was full of regret.

The tofu has been produced, but not many people can eat it. The main reason is that Zhishi has not increased its production capacity for the time being. It is generally provided to the groups around the workshop, and then it is specially supplied to the new army.

In fact, the nutritional value of tofu is extremely high, and if it is paired with fresh or bone broth, it can not only increase the nutritional value, but also taste absolutely delicious.

In addition, Zhiyao originally thought that Zhuxia did not have native radishes, but later realized that she was wrong.

There are local radishes in Zhuxia, but they are not called radishes, and they are different from the radishes of later generations.

In fact, this is the case. Many modern foods have been cross-breeded and cross-breeded, artificially cultivated to look like what people see, and their ancestors may not have looked like this.

Zhiyao took Sima Rangju to visit a lot of places. Except for the oil pressing workshop, the rest of the workshops were not visited. They were more visiting warehouses and construction projects around "Handan".

After turning around in a circle, I returned to the city of "Handan" near winter.

"The strength of the Zhi family can be seen with the naked eye!" Sima Rangju's words were not against his will at all.

Now which family can use more than [-] people to start a big project?There is no such family in other vassal states, but there are a few in Jin State.

Being able to mobilize more than 20 people to start the project does not mean that we have the ability to really do it. First of all, how to manage it will be a big problem!

Sima Rangju said that the Zhi family is strong because it has so many management personnel, which is more than all the cities in Qi State combined!
What surprised Sima Rangju the most was that the Gongshu family defected to the Zhi family.As a person who has held prominent positions in Qi State, it is impossible for him to be unfamiliar with Gongshu.

Let's put it this way, Qi State and Lu State have fought back and forth for so many years, Gongshu's help to Lu State is not small at all, building a city somewhere, or helping the Lu army create various tools and repair cars, everywhere There is the shadow of Gongshu.

"The State of Lu is in decline!" Sima Rangju couldn't understand how the State of Lu dared to let the Gongshu family go away!
Let alone Sima Rangju, in fact Zhiyao didn't understand either.

The state of Lu let go of such an important family as the Gongshu clan as soon as it said it would. Did it not realize the value of the Gongshu clan at all, or did the state of Lu have other families that could replace it?
But right?Now that Gongshu clan has come to Zhi clan, no matter what Zhiyao says, he won't let him go.

"When we send troops next year, the Lu army will also go. For this reason, Ji Sunfei is on his way to Jin." Zhiyao said.

Before, the Zhi family sent people to the state of Lu, and the first contact was the Shu Sun Zhou Qiu of the Shu Sun family, and then the Ji Sun family took over.

In the current state of Lu, the Shusun family and the Mengsun family followed the lead of the Jisun family, and the three families worked together to control the military and political power of the Lu state.

Ji Sunsi, who forced Confucius away, died of illness three years ago, and his posthumous title was Ji Huanzi. His son Fei became the new head of the Ji Sun family.

Because of Ji Sunfei's young relationship, the internal situation of Lu State has undergone new changes. Both Shusun family and Meng Sun family wanted to become the new boss, but the internal fighting between the three Huan was very restrained, and there was no large-scale fight.

Ji Sunfei's coming to Jin this time is very important to the Ji Sun family. If he can get the support of the Zhi family, the Shu Sun family and the Meng Sun family will stop fighting anyway.

Therefore, the Ji Sun family arbitrarily robbed the uncle Sun's job, and Ji Sun Fei first went to "Xintian" for a formal visit. Fat is very embarrassing.

It is impossible for Ji Sunfei to have no communication with Zhao Yang. He confessed that he came to Jin mainly because he was invited by the Zhi family, so that Zhao Yang learned that the Zhi family was going to crusade against the Tian family of Qi State.

The Zhi family sent troops to the Qi State just to attack the Tian family?No matter what this said, Zhao Yang could not believe it.

Zhao Yang only needs to know that the Zhi family will send troops to the Qi country, and he can spare more troops to deal with the Zhongshan country and then guard against Qiuyou and Xianyu.

Knowing that the Zhi family was going to send troops to the Qi country, the Han family also made some noise, and they chose to go and play with Bai Zhai.

In fact, the rest of the high-ranking families in the Jin Kingdom have taken action, and there is only one Han family who does nothing, and they will feel guilty first.

If the Han family can choose, they are more willing to fight a wave of Zheng Guo, but the Zhi family has the ability to withstand the possible counterattack of the Qi State alone, and the Han family does not have the strength to hammer Zheng Guo to the ground, and the next best thing is to retreat They stared at Bai Di.

Ji Sunfei came to "Handan" on a snowy day. After he came, he was surprised how there were camps around "Handan".

"This is a good thing!" Ji Sunfei thought so.

The "Handan" of the Jin State is not considered the most eastern part, and it is very obvious that the Zhi family will shift the focus of development to the east.

The current state of Lu has no border with the state of Jin. If they discovered that the development center of the Zhi family moved eastward more than a hundred years ago, it would be the state of Lu that should be worried.

"The eldest son!" Ji Sunfei made a formal call, that is, after being greeted, he sent someone to inform him of the time of the visit every few days, and he would come in person later.

Zhiyao seemed very enthusiastic, went to the door to greet Ji Sunfei's arrival in person, and welcomed him in.

Both parties are doing the most basic etiquette, which seems to be very inefficient and very cumbersome, but the problem is that they can't do without these.

One should have finished the courtesy.

Ji Sunfei began to introduce how many troops the Lu Congress would send next year, and mentioned which cities of Qi State they wanted to attack.

"The eldest son seeks rebellion, follow the path. In order to recover the city, I will do nothing indecent." Ji Sunfei said.

These words are very connotative.

To put it bluntly, under the control of the Zhi family and the Lu country, the things that the Tian family did were thunderous, and it depends on whether the princes of the Qi country believe it or not, or what choices they make.

Tian Qi repeatedly jumping sideways?There is a saying that "everyone who walks must leave traces", and there is another saying that "don't let others know unless you have done nothing." If someone goes to check, it will be exposed at once.

According to the information that Zhiyao has now, some princes of the Duke clan of the Qi State immediately drew a clear line with Tian Qi, but those princes did not respond.

At the same time, Tian Qi was so embarrassed by the public opinion that he simply ran back to his fief, pretending not to intervene to show his innocence.

Now the Zhi family has not officially sent anyone to the Qi country to announce the crusade against the Tian family, and the Qi country does not know the news that the Zhi family will send troops next year. They just noticed the changes in the Lu country.

The change of Lu State is not a big deal for Qi State, Qi State and Lu State have been like this for many years.Once there is civil strife in Qi State, Lu State will always do something, and vice versa, so that the thinking of both countries will be solidified, and it will be surprising that the other party will do nothing when there is chaos.

Ji Sunfei didn't dare to ask how much the Zhi family would send troops next year. When he came to "Handan" and saw the stretches of camps, to be honest, his heart immediately became as stable as an old dog.

This is because he misunderstood that all the people stationed in the camp were troops. If he didn't think about it, it was not an emergency, so how could the Zhi family maintain the state of recruitment.

With such a mentality, it can only be said that the subjective consciousness is too strong, hoping for something to happen, and self-defeating.

Zhiyao was quite satisfied with Ji Sunfei's openness, but Zhishi didn't need to reveal to Lu Guo how he wanted to fight.

This is the difference between strength and inferiority.

Although the Zhi family is a family, the population may not be as large as the total population of the Lu country, but the Zhi family's military strength is definitely stronger than that of the Lu country.

So yes, Sanhuan may be extremely powerful in Lu State, how can the three of them unite and compare with Zhishi, they should be nothing, and they are nothing.

Ji Sunfei will not leave immediately after visiting Zhiyao, but will stay until the Zhi clan sends troops next year, and then follow Zhiyao to the east.

During that period of time, Ji Sunfei realized that the camp was not a garrison, and his heart, which was as stable as an old dog, suddenly became a little suspicious.

　Hurry up, let's go first.Sorry for any typos!
