The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 243 Report

"Docile, smart, and explosive! The king of horses!" After dismounting, Xia Hongdi gave a very high evaluation of the big food horse.

"Choose the most suitable horse farm for them, and raise them well for me, and raise them with care!"

"No!" The Imperial Horse Supervisor bowed to accept the order.

After waiting for the emperor who was sweating a little, he changed his clothes and drank a cup of tea. The topic of several people returned to the experience of the Dashi Empire.

I heard that these precious horses were actually bought by Uncle Zhongqin with a boatload of saltpeter.

Xia Hongdi couldn't wait to call all the big food merchants into the palace immediately.

They have as much saltpeter as they want, can they exchange for more Imperial BMWs?
There are more important things at the moment, which made him pull back his mind with great effort: "Shangguan Imperial Physician, how is Dashi's medical skills better than Daxia's?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, in terms of trauma surgery, Dashi's medical skills are much higher than Daxia's.

Surgery from the eyes to the removal of tumors in the body is very mature.

It is also very useful for the instruments, anesthetics, disinfectant alcohol, and catgut for suturing wounds used in auxiliary operations. "

"So amazing?" Xia Hongdi was more excited than winning a BMW.

In war, soldiers are most likely to suffer from trauma. With such a great surgical method, wouldn't the chance of surviving on the battlefield be increased by a few percent?As an ambitious monarch, how could the territory map of the Great Xia Dynasty stop here? !
"During the two battles on the return journey, Dashi's doctors treated nearly 3000 people. Except for the heart, lung and head injuries, the rest of the serious and minor injuries have now healed."

"It's a good exchange! It's a good exchange! Speaking of which, Uncle Zhongqin gave me the prescription for the vaccine, and it's so useful overseas. It's wonderful, wonderful!"

Heiwa: Can't you forget this time?Thanks to the epidemic prevention manual back then, it was tossed into Europa (Latin) in English, and the blame was given to the missionaries.

He still has to think about how to make things right in case he is asked by a doctor from the Dashi Empire one day.

Why!Telling a lie requires countless lies to cover up!
"Huang Shangshu, Shangguan Imperial Physician, I will entrust you two with the important task of translating these medical classics! Such an excellent food doctor should make good arrangements, and use the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that they will never miss their homes."

"The humble minister complies with the order!" Shangguan's imperial physician didn't even frown.

As for how to hang those big food doctors, he has been thinking about it all the way. I heard that the current imperial hospital is not like the years when he was on duty. There are many imperial doctors with great skills.
"The old minister takes orders! Your Majesty, here I want to ask for credit for Yuan Wenjie, Yuan Wenwu, Qin Ke and other young people.

Chen is ashamed to be the Minister of Lifan Academy, but whether it is Inca or Dashi language, several young people learn faster and better than Chen and others.

The eight of them have also contributed a lot to the ship merchants in Daxia for several major sea trades.

On the way back, Dashi Merchant and I waited, several young people did not slack off, not only proficient in listening and speaking, but also fluent in reading and writing.

The translation of many medical classics, they can be of great help!

It's really a boy born from a hero since ancient times!The minister recommends them to enter the Lifan Academy in the future and make more contributions to our Great Xia Dynasty! "

"Hahaha, hahaha! Good! I will give them a credit too! If you are good at learning foreign languages, Lifan Academy can use talents in an eclectic manner!
Aiqing, can the merits and demerits of the two brothers in your family be offset?Your wife won't pursue their escape anymore, will she? "

How could Uncle Zhongqin let His Majesty hold on to his daughter-in-law's little fault, and said righteously:
"Your Majesty, the minister's wife is still very righteous. After hearing that they have done some trivial things for the court, she has already picked it up and put it down gently!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Who doesn't know that there is a tigress in your house?! That's all."

Speaking of tigers, Huang Shangshu thought of the living creatures they brought back.

He even taught them the giraffe, a strange beast they mistakenly thought to be a unicorn, which made Xia Hongdi laugh non-stop.

"It's a pity, most of the rare and exotic animals we bring like to live in hot and humid places.

The ministers were afraid that they would freeze to death on the road before taking them back to the capital, so they had to leave most of them in Anzhou. Anzhou and Yazhou should be more suitable for them to live in.

Your Majesty, those dozens of ostriches are bigger than sheep, and one ostrich egg is enough to fry a large pot, and their meat is also very delicious, better than beef and mutton.

This ostrich not only has delicious meat, but its leather is tough and soft, and its tension is extremely strong. The whole body is full of treasures!
If these ostriches can be bred like chickens, ducks and geese, we people in Daxia will be blessed! "

Those who have eaten ostrich meat, everyone nodded. Xia Hongdi was greedy by the ostrich meat they described, and wondered when he would be able to taste it.

I can't see these living creatures for the time being, but many of their skins have been brought back: from tiger skin, deer skin, zebra skin, crocodile skin, ostrich skin to python skin, dozens of boxes!
Taking out the ostrich skin, touching and pulling it, Xia Hongdi immediately developed a good impression of this bird he had never met before.

"Can Zhang Ruren hatch ostrich eggs?"

"Your Majesty, it will take two or three years for these ostriches to grow from a small bird to an adult. Now even if there is a heated kang, there are no eggs!"

"No wonder one can only have two hundred catties of meat, and it has grown for a long time. I will let people raise these ostriches well, so that we can eat ostrich meat as soon as possible!
"For Your Majesty, gold and gemstones, BMW glass art, these are not the most precious.

What I will show you next, these are the most precious national treasures we have harvested during this trip. "

Huang Shangshu not only said, but also took several kinds of food they had prepared from the small baskets that they carried with them.

On Xia Hongdi's royal table were a few sticks of golden unthreshed corn; a few inconspicuous brown bumps the size of a fist; and a red-skinned sweet potato with two small ends and a middle bigger than a fist.

"Your Majesty, it's really thanks to uncle's insightful eyes and treasures!

This is called corn, potato, and sweet potato, which we asked for in the Inca Empire.We have successfully planted it for two seasons in the place where we dig gold mines.

The lowest yield of corn can be more than 3000 catties per mu, the yield of potatoes can range from 4000 to [-] per mu, and the highest yield of sweet potatoes can be more than [-] catties.

The minister dared to say: I had these three kinds of food in the Great Xia Dynasty, and there will be no more famines from now on! "

"Wait, Aiqing, how much did you say? Four, more than 4000 catties? Can it be used as staple food?" Xia Hongdi was afraid that he was hallucinating, so he confirmed it several times.

Seeing the three nodding to him with smiles, Xia Hongdi was so excited that he walked up and down, making everyone dizzy, and then stopped.

He took Uncle Zhongqin's hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job, really good job! Hahaha, you are really my lucky general!"

"Your Majesty, potatoes and sweet potatoes can not only be used as staple food, they are also a dish!" Hei Wa handed over the preparation of these foods to the little eunuch in the imperial dining room, and they will have a fresh meal for lunch.

Potato Chicken, Steamed Pork with Sweet Potatoes, Vinegar Potatoes, Shredded Sweet Potatoes.
They also brought a small bag of cornmeal, which they made into cakes and pasted on the side of the iron pot of the big plate chicken, cooked in one pot.

Xia Hongdi had a taste of each category. There is no doubt that these few kinds can be used as staple food.

Although the taste of potatoes is not as sweet as sweet potatoes, but the taste is pink and glutinous. He is full of this stuff.

The sweet potato is really sweet, it is said that it is the most fragrant when roasted over charcoal fire.

The bright yellow corn cakes look much better than the black buns!It can also be made into gnocchi, he was so ecstatic that he could wake up laughing from his dreams.

This meal should be the happiest meal he has ever had.I still don't forget to tell the royal chef to give the queen and the prince a try.

What doll can resist the temptation of deep-fried French fries?Uncle Zhongqin hid the last can of tomato sauce and gave it to the prince.

Now it has fallen into the hands of the Fifth Prince and Princess Jingyao.

"Ang woo, ang woo! These French fries are so good, mother, dipped in ketchup, sweet and sour!" The fat man is the most loyal fan of fried food, one bite after another, the little man made a big plate sub of french fries.

Empress Gao and Xia Hongdi's brainwaves were at the same frequency, and she was happy that Daxia had harvested such a high-yield grain. If she didn't pay attention, the little fat man would be overwhelmed.

After the meal, several people moved to the study and continued their conversation.

"These grains do not require high land fertility. We planted them in wasteland in the first two seasons. If they can be planted in good fields, the yield per mu may be higher. We can try planting from south to north in Daxia! "

"It's still the output from land reclamation! I really don't know how to reward you! Try planting, try planting! I fully support it!"

Apart from war, farming is the top priority every year. Even the emperor dared not waste the years that were plagued by natural disasters and locusts.

Food production is simply a sharp sword hanging over his head.

And his Ai Qing completely solved the biggest problem of the Great Xia Dynasty for more than 200 years in less than three years.

Before he finished feeling, Huang Shangshu went on to announce the good news: "Your Majesty, there is still a boatload of cotton seeds and cotton cloth that Uncle Zhongqin insisted on bringing back.

Of the more than 1000 slaves we brought back, hundreds of them were experienced in cotton farming and weaving in Tianzhu.

Look, Your Majesty, these cotton cloths are woven from cotton.You touch it, is it very soft?It is [-]% lower than the price of silk.

If corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can be popularized in the Great Xia Dynasty, the yield of cultivated land will increase several times.

The extra dry land can be used to grow these cottons, which is really worry-free! "

"Very good, very good! These cotton cloths are good, much softer than linen and Gebu. In the past, we didn't grow much cotton in summer. If it can be made into cotton cloth, it is worth planting in large quantities!"

Xia Hongdi is not the emperor who eats minced meat. Can you not know the price difference between silk and linen?There is such a cushioning fabric to choose between the two, one can imagine how popular it is with the common people!
How is the silk market affected?Can't it be sold overseas?
