The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 213 Empress Changsun
There is nothing to say about cumin, a spice from the Western Regions, and it is also the second largest spice in the world after pepper.

Many people think that chili originated in America, and then spread all over the world.However, genetic testing by scientists in previous lives found that this is not the case, and China also has native peppers.

One is the millet pepper produced in the jungle of Xishuangbanna, and the other is the yellow pepper produced in Shennongjia.

It has to be said that technology and archaeology can really change many common-sense cognitions. For example, after genetic testing, it was found that Cao Cao and Xiahou's family were not related by blood.

For example, archaeologists have discovered peanuts in the tombs of the Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty successively. Before that, everyone believed that peanuts came from America.

In short, it is true that China is also the origin of chili peppers.For a little money, hire locals to find them, and you could pre-populate chili hundreds of years in advance.

There are also shrimp skins, which are used as raw materials for local monosodium glutamate.

Not to mention the nutritional value of this thing, for people, its freshness function is the most important.

In the era when human beings did not master the production technology of monosodium glutamate, chefs usually used freshly killed chickens and other materials as raw materials and boiled them for a long time.

It's not for eating meat, but to boil out the umami taste in the chicken.Then use chicken soup as a raw material to make other foods to make the food delicious.

With monosodium glutamate, a spoonful of MSG solves all problems.

There are many ways to make sodium glutamate, but Chen Jingke only knows one relatively primitive way.

It is to hydrolyze grains such as wheat and soybeans with hydrochloric acid, then decolorize, purify, and crystallize to obtain glutamic acid.

Then put glutamic acid and soda ash together for a chemical reaction to produce sodium glutamate.

But this method is a waste of food, forty catties of wheat can produce one catty of monosodium glutamate.In the age of food shortage in ancient times, it was a crime to get out monosodium glutamate.

It's better to go to the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea to catch hairy shrimp, use the hairy shrimp to make shrimp skin, and grind the shrimp skin into powder to get local monosodium glutamate.

Although the effect is not as good as monosodium glutamate, it is worse than using chicken soup to enhance freshness.Besides, if you think it is not fresh enough, can you put more shrimp powder, even the salt is saved.

The production of shrimp skin can also form an industrial chain, feed many coastal fishermen, and cultivate a large number of reserve navy for the country.

As for going to sea is more dangerous, I can only say that there is no danger?In ancient times, as long as you were alive, there were dangers everywhere.

What's more, if you don't even dare to venture into the relatively calm waters of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, then you can simply seal it off on the mainland.

Coastal areas are all developed areas in industrial society, and trade benefits alone can make the locals feel full of food.

But in the pure farming society, it is the most difficult place, and it has to experience strong winds and waves from time to time.The key is that the salinization of the land can't grow crops at all, which is the most deadly.

If the shrimp skin business can really be done, the people living in the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea will benefit.

What's more, Changsun Wugou's canning factory also wants to open a workshop along the coast to produce canned sea fish.

In short, there is always one more way to survive than before when there was no other way.

Hearing about these three seasonings, the three of Cheng Huailiang were very excited, and they all said that they would send people to look for them immediately.

What they are most interested in is the fresh shrimp skin, followed by chili peppers, and finally cumin.

After all, barbecue is just one of many foods, and even without cumin, it can still taste good.

While chili is important, there are also spicy dishes and mustard alternatives.And not everyone likes spicy food, the demand for this thing is not so urgent.

Shrimp skin is different, freshness is everyone's biggest pursuit, and it can be said to have an immediate effect on the improvement of food taste.

They have already started planning how to use the difference brought by Shopee to open more branches.

After sending the three of them away, Chen Jingke asked the two little maids to bring the books and start studying.

During the period, Wu Shu came over, played with him for a while, and then left to go to work again. There are many things in charge of her in the huge Zixiao Temple.

Just when he was having a good time, Li Shimin was reading his violent remarks in the morning.

……

"This bastard, what nonsense is he talking to people? Does he want to die?" Li Shimin threw the secret letter on the ground and said angrily.

The eldest grandson Wugou said calmly: "You step back."

The trembling waiters around hurriedly withdrew as if met with amnesty.

After everyone left, she picked up the secret letter and put it on the table, saying: "His thinking is very different from ours. This is something we have known for a long time. Why is Erlang so angry?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "I know he has many different ideas in his mind, but I never thought he would be so rebellious."

"What is the situation between the army and the people? What is born in the people must be returned to the people. Does he want to follow the way of peace?"

Changsun Wugou hurriedly said: "Erlang can't say that, what should we do if we spread the word."

"Didn't he also say that he wants to be loyal to the emperor? The last three questions also make people loyal to the emperor. It can be seen that he is not really confused."

Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "If he didn't know about Zhongjun, I would have ordered him to be chopped down. But I have to take care of him and let him know that this is the Tang Dynasty, not his Chen clan."

"Especially you, you can't spoil him like this anymore. It's because of your protection that he dares to be so unscrupulous and lawless."

The eldest grandson Wugou stepped forward to help him sit down on the chair, and comforted him: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Calm down, I'll teach him a lesson later."

"Hmph." Li Shimin said angrily, "He has been greatly influenced by the family's thinking since he was a child, and it's hard to get any effect by just persuading him."

"Let him come to the palace to study tomorrow, and let the Confucians teach him the rules."

Changsun Wugou poured a glass of water and put it in front of him, saying: "This is also a good way. Great Confucianists should take action to remove the influence of his family and turn him into a qualified Tang dignitary."

Li Shimin just put the teacup to his mouth, when he heard this, he put it down again, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The eldest grandson Wugou said doubtfully, "I'm just praising you for your wisdom, you're thinking too much."

An old husband and wife, how can Li Shimin not understand her character, and said: "What do you mean by removing the influence of his family, what kind of qualified Tang Dynasty dignitaries, can you explain to me exactly what it means?"

Changsun Wugou said as it should: "Let the great Confucians teach him, is there any other possibility besides this result?"

Then she said regretfully: "It's a pity, after hundreds of years of achievements of the Chen family, I don't know how much can be left. I hope they have other heirs."

Li Shimin said angrily: "Look, look, you still have nothing to say, you just blame me for treating him like this."

"I let the great Confucianism teach him the rules of the Tang Dynasty, just to let him understand what can be said and what can't be said, what can be done and what can't be done."

"It's not to let him forget the family knowledge, he learned the rules of the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't he be able to use the family knowledge better?"

The eldest grandson Wugou asked back: "If he has learned this, would you still dare to use him? Would you still dare to marry your daughter to him? Anyway, I would not let my little si marry such a person."

Li Shimin was at a loss for words, and he became angry from embarrassment: "I can't go left or right, so what do you think should I do? Come up with a way to control him."

Changsun Wugou didn't answer his question, but said, "Actually, I've been wondering about one thing, and the more I know about Jing Ke, the more confused I become."

Li Shimin asked subconsciously: "What doubts?"

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "At first I thought they were a hermit family, and they were only unique in medical skills and academics."

Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, he thought the same way at first: "Then what?"

Before he knew it, the topic had been dominated by her, and he began to think about the problem along her lines.

"Afterwards he took out a world map and accurately stated the situation of the world throughout the ages, and I realized that I had underestimated them."

"But what really shocked me and even terrified me was the strong ships and guns. With this thing, they can run rampant in the world and have no opponents."

"They have also mastered the method of firing glass, and they will not be short of money with this thing. As you know, the rice planted in his yard is estimated to yield more than double that of ordinary rice."

"They are not short of food, they are not short of money, and they also have strong ships and powerful guns. If they participate in the world competition, who will be their opponents? Saint, are you sure you can defeat them?"

Li Shimin remained silent. After Chen Jingke presented the formula of gunpowder cannons, he secretly built dozens of cannons of various types.

That power is heartbreaking.

He thought that his ability to use troops was unparalleled in the world, but he still felt deeply powerless when facing cannons.

Perhaps the cannon has various shortcomings, the person who uses the cannon is the most critical, he can find a way to use tactics to offset the impact of the cannon.

But they are not fools, and they will not stand still and be a target. If you can think of a way, others will follow suit.

What's more, there are gunboats. On land, he can still think of a way, at worst, use cavalry to launch a desperate charge.

But the gunboat is almost incomprehensible. Once people stop the boat on the river, he can only run as far as he can.

How is this played?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Changsun Wugou knew that he had listened, so he changed the topic: "But why didn't they participate in the competition for the world, but why did they devote all their strength to explore the world instead?"

"For this reason, he did not hesitate to exhaust the vitality of the family, leaving only his single seedling. In the end, he sent this single seedling to Datang, and gave you the knowledge accumulated by the family for hundreds of years."

"What the hell was all this for? What made them act so selflessly?"

Li Shimin was even more silent, which was indeed strange and simply abnormal.If it wasn't for Chen Jingke standing there alive, he would have thought it was a legendary novel.

If he had such capital, he would have already participated in the struggle for hegemony, so how could he do such thankless things.

People who think like this have brain problems.

But when he thought that he had obtained the knowledge accumulated by the Chen clan for hundreds of years for nothing, he couldn't say such words.

After a long time, he said, "Then have you figured out the answer?"

　Subscription collapse is very powerful, and the data on the pirated version is better than here.

　　My friend said that it can be used as anti-theft, and it will be better.

　　However, doing anti-theft will affect the experience of genuine readers. It is very likely that those who read the pirated version will not come back, and the book lovers who read the genuine version will be annoyed.

　　So I was hesitant.

　　Headache, everyone said whether to do anti-theft ah.
