Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 226 Supplementary food and staple food

Jiao Boqing still brought the heartless cannon aboard.

The unconscionable cannon cast by the cannon factory is still slightly heavier than the genuine one because of the lack of industrial technology, but it can be easily lifted by four or five people.

And those old cannon-casting craftsmen under Wang Chengen's command, who finally have serious official status and can walk in broad daylight, came up with a trick.

"Disassemble the base of the Feilei Cannon and the Feilei Cannon itself, and paint the outside of the Feilei Cannon to look like a wooden barrel. I think it is feasible."

"Hey! It's interesting! Then there must be a button on the Feilei Cannon."

"Put a nail and seal it tightly. When you use it, you can buckle the shelf to the cannon and it will be stable!"

"Try it!"

then.

A dozen large wooden barrels came out of the gun factory.

It is also filled with sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which are popular supplementary foods that have been grown in Nanjing in recent years.

That's right, food supplements.

The yield of these two crops, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the planting environment will undoubtedly make these three crops excellent food supplements in a short period of time. There is nothing to see right now, but when they are widely planted, they will naturally alleviate the food shortage in Ming Dynasty to a certain extent. Case.

But right now, these crops are just enriching Nanjing's dining table.

And since it is a new crop, it is naturally not included in Daming's list of prohibited sales.

As for why such a big bucket was used instead of carrying bags in bags, the officials at the wharf rubbed the silver in their arms, saying that it must be the wisdom of savages.

If it is rotten in the barrel, it will be fermented, and if it is covered and stuffy for a while, it will directly become bad wine, right?

"Da Ming is so nice!"

Standing on the black-flag treasure ship, Kai Maolin let out an exclamation, looking at the port wharf even with some reluctance to part.

For a savage from the depths of an old wood.

The changes they have experienced in the past two years are earth-shaking.

Everything is so fresh, everything is so lively, everything is so prosperous.

It was once when we broke into Jiannu Niulu Tubao.

It was one time to break through Jianlao City.

Loitering and looting around Shengjing is another time.

When they finally broke through the city wall of Shengjing and entered the city, they thought that this was the whole picture of the world. Under the leadership of Wuerte, the black flag tribes stepped into the pinnacle of the world, but now they are in Nanjing.

The worldview of several people was refreshed once again.

Standing on the glorious and pitch-black giant ship overlooking the world of Ming Dynasty now, it seems as if two years ago, he climbed the ice and lay on the snow, yelled and hunted in the woods with his fur on, chewed grass roots around the stove with his clansmen, and watched as the old people in the clan wore The memory of the broken skin walking into the blizzard is just a dream.

"It's a pity that Daming is too far away."

"hey-hey."

There are too many robberies, and if you rely on robbers to make a fortune, you will inevitably develop a robber temperament, not to mention that these tribal leaders are not good at all.

Amidst the bang bang gong, the black flag tribute team returned.

With a large amount of cotton cloth and sulfur, saltpeter, and other miscellaneous goods.

Of course, the most important thing, in Zhu Youjian's opinion, is actually the dozen or so barrels of crops.

Going north along the ocean, when the Black Flag Navy arrived in Gaizhou, it was time to prepare for spring sowing.

Zhenghei Banner just happened to be able to include these three crops in the cultivation plan for the next year.

"I can taste it by the way."

Peeling the potato skins with his own hands, Zhu Youjian looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes with fiery eyes.

The importance of supplementary food is unquestionable.

The half-fist size he had in hand looked incomparable to what he remembered, but according to the yield described in the brochure submitted by Wang Chengen, this potato was already a treasure that could be offered in the Xiannongtan.

"Blanch beef, add star anise, bay leaves, scallion knots, soy sauce and salt, then add this and let it simmer slowly. Go and invite the leaders! Come, put these stuffed on the side of the charcoal fire and simmer for a while, corn is not edible Now, this can be used as staple food, and a meal for a group of people may lose several acres."

Handing the same small sweet potato to the maid who helped the kitchen, Zhu Youjian read the brochure while waiting for someone.

Minor conflicts inevitably occurred in Jinzhou. After winter, the Mongolian Eight Banners occupied Ningyuan, and there were naturally Tumed Mongols among them.

Even if people enter the capital to enjoy the blessings, but such a large piece of land must not be thrown away.

Now they are sending out horses to resist the safari team of Zhenghei Banner in Tumed Banner.

"Wurt!"

"Come so fast?"

Putting down the booklet, Zhu Youjian recruited and motioned for an eunuch to pass the chair.

As for why it is an eunuch and not an eunuch, an inner prisoner.

Because this was the arrangement of the only eunuch in the imperial city of Shenyang, the group of eunuchs thrown down by the Manchu court after two waves of evacuation, in the eyes of this eunuch, they are not worthy of being called eunuchs, they can only become eunuchs, Mughal Te Wang Ende, this is the only way to make a living in the palace.

The people sent by Wang Chengen, although Zhu Youjian will not let them assist in government affairs in a short time, it doesn't matter if they are used.

The organization has grown, and the palace is in chaos, so people really need to manage it.

"How can you neglect your call?"

"Okay, first sit down and wait for everyone to come. I don't want you to do anything else, but let you have something good to eat with me."

Soon, Jia Lama, Gu Yiqi and other acquaintances came in droves. Except for Jin Yangwu who was standing in Jinzhou, most of the high-level officials in the Zhenghei Banner came, and the newly surrendered Mongolian general Ejigen was also among them. All of a sudden, it was noisy and full of enthusiasm.

And Zhu Youjian raised his hand and opened his mouth to speak abruptly, which made them quiet down very quickly, and they sat quietly and listened.

"Ejigen, is your tribe used to staying in Jinzhou City?"

Ojigen bowed his head piously: "The prince has generously gifted the tribe with so much land that it cannot be planted, and the cattle and sheep are fattened. All the people in the clan are grateful for the prince's kindness."

"So good."

As he spoke, Zhu Youjian picked up the stewed beef and potatoes in the pot.

"Under the black flag, you made a blood oath with Jielama, we are brothers and blood relatives of the same family, so I assigned all the Mongolian armored men in Shengjing to you, how about you to form a black flag Mongolian light cavalry?"

Erjigen knelt down with some excitement mixed with fear: "This humble minister will definitely live up to the prince's entrustment!"

"So you don't have to bring your whole family to Shengjing to show your loyalty! You good man has been nested for more than a month! Go out and do something!"

As he spoke, Zhu Youjian handed over a bowl of beef stew with potatoes.

"Try it."

Turning to look at the others: "Go and get the bowls!"

While talking and laughing, Zhu Youjian staged a wave of sharing, each person took a spoon, and then took out a few sweet potatoes and threw them to Jia Lama and others to share and taste.

"I'll give you some of the new grain brought back from Daming. You open a field and I'll send someone to teach you how to plant it. I'll grow some. Wait a while to see the harvest, and then you can consider whether you want to grow it or not."

Jia Lama replied vaguely: "My lord is merciful."

Others followed suit.

Zhu Youjian also took a quick sip, and found that the taste was really good, not far from what he remembered.

I enjoy the taste in my mouth, but in my head, I naturally think about the impact of these three crops on the future after the early popularization.

The result.

Naturally, it is not big in a short period of time.

Right now it has to be Jinzhou.

Dozens of people eat a pot of potato and beef stew, and it would be good if one person can mix half a bowl. Everyone quickly put down their chopsticks and spoons, looked at Zhu Youjian, and knew that he had plans for the next step.

Zhu Youjian put down the bowl and stared at himself, and said directly: "This king wants to select experts who are good at firearms from all the flags in my Zhengheiqi, and formally form a Blackqi firearms battalion with 3000 members. Officers are selected during the battle, and the battalion's armaments are distributed by the banner, and distributed during war or training.

In addition, I set up a flag called Xianghei Banner inside Zhenghei Banner. The right and treatment of Dingkou of this flag is the same as that of Dingkou of Zhenghei Banner. The examination and selection will be presided over by the sticky pole. In the end, the king will issue the identity after personally looking at it.”
