Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 726 Foodie's Artifact

  Emperor Hongzhi has decided to go to Nanchang for a walk.

   This is an indescribable feeling.

  On the one hand, he was worried about the prince's accident in Nanchang, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what Nanchang Mansion, where King Ning's lineage had occupied for a hundred years, looked like.

  He had probably made up his mind. That night, he fell asleep soundly. This night, he slept soundly. After all, these days he was really tired physically and mentally, and he was too worried.

  Going back to the tent, Zhang Sheng was overjoyed, but it was Ma Wensheng who began to toss and turn.

  He thought of his own destiny, the sufferings of the world, and the ups and downs of life, and couldn't help but feel wasted.

  Dawn dawned, the snow stopped, but outside the big tent, there was a thin layer of snow.

   At this time, the exhausted British Duke Zhang Mao had already set off on his horse, and went to Nanjing to worship Xiaoling according to the order.

  It was still dawn, and it was freezing cold outside. Outside the big tent, Ouyang Zhi was almost frozen stiff, his face was covered with frost, and small ice crystals hung down from the brows.

  Xiao Jing hurried over, seeing Ouyang Zhi like this, said: "Ouyang Shi said, Ouyang Shi said..."

no response.

   Xiao Jing was terrified and froze to death?

  He stomped anxiously, his eyes were red. Ouyang Shi is a good person, he helped him watch the night when it was freezing cold, if something happened, he couldn't afford to take care of His Majesty, and his conscience was also uneasy.

   "Don't scare us."

  Ouyang Zhicai said: "I'm fine."

   "..." Xiao Jingcai heaved a long sigh of relief, frightened to death.

  Ouyang Zhi's face was still stiff.

  In the big tent, there was a cough, and it was time to wait for His Majesty to get up.

  Xiao Jing hurriedly led several eunuchs in, and Ouyang Zhi stooped in too.

  Emperor Hongzhi got up: "Is Ouyang Qing's family on duty last night? Let the little eunuchs do these things."

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Shi Ouyang is worried about His Majesty, other eunuchs, servants are not at ease, last time, a little **** fell asleep, and the servants didn't wake up after beating them, let alone young people can't point it out, Even the young eunuchs are not as good as the next generation, they are ignorant, and even though the servants and servants are at regular intervals, they can't stop the purge..."

   Speaking of this, Xiao Jing couldn't help gnashing his teeth in his heart, and almost said, if there is a **** named Liu Jin, he is not as good as a pig or dog, do you still point out that he can serve others? He stole all our dried fruits, and he only thought in his heart, replace us, how can we have the respect for the old people that we did when we were not great eunuchs.

   But I didn’t say this, forget it, everyone is dead, and death is the most important thing.

  Emperor Hongzhi said sullenly: "The wounds on Ouyang Qing's family are not healed yet."

  Xiao Jing said: "It's the old slave who is lazy, and he will die, and it will not be like this in the future."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded, glanced at the tired Ouyang Zhi, and suddenly remembered something: "Last night, I tossed and turned in excitement, couldn't sleep, and kept thinking, why did Ouyang Qing's family just insist that your mentor is fine?"

  Ouyang Zhi put on a dull face and didn't answer.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ouyang Zhi suspiciously.

  Ouyang Zhi just kept silent.

   "Ouyang Qing's family, why don't you speak?"

   "..."

  After a long time, Ouyang Zhi blushed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot answer."

   "Can't or don't dare?" Emperor Hongzhi felt more and more strange.

  Ouyang Zhi said: "I dare not, and I can't."

  Emperor Hongzhi scratched his heart with all his claws, but immediately shook his head and smiled wryly.

   Ouyang Zhi has his own side of persistence, and if he keeps asking, there will be no results.

  This kid... is so kind.

   An hour later, the army set off, mighty and mighty, the endless army horses, like a long snake, all the way south.

  ………

  Nanchang Prefecture.

  Here at Honggutan, the dam has begun to take shape. It is winter, which happens to be the dry season, and it is a good time to build the dam.

  Fang Jifan was in the shed, holding a pen and taking notes. There was a charcoal basin under his feet.

  Fang Jifan raised his head, the wind in Nanchang is really strong, like a demon wind, whistling.

On the beach along the river, a large amount of land began to be reclaimed. Zhu Houzhao asked people to hang up banners to attract refugees. It doesn’t matter what you used to do, even if you were a thief. When you come here, I will give you a ration , give you farm tools, work.

At this time, the flying ball will be of great use. Yang Biao and Shen Ao took off, along the Ganjiang River, visually surveyed the nearby land with binoculars, and drew a map. The flying ball immediately attracted cheers from countless people. On it, it was painted, and Zhu Houzhao's official name was written. There are too many words, and a flying ball can't fit it.

  Because of the large number of people, the land was reclaimed very quickly. Potatoes and sweet potatoes have also been transported by the local Tuntian school captain, and they are ready to sow after the spring.

  Of course, on fertile land, it is best to plant rice. Seedlings are raised first, and then transplanted.

  It’s still early, everyone is eating the army rations prepared by King Ning for the rebellion.

  Because Xiong Er was old, he helped Fang Jifan.

  In the shed, he felt very comfortable, studying ink for Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan said: "I want to go home, my wife is about to give birth."

   "Yeah." Xiong Er looked at Fang Jifan and said enviously, "Captain, you already have a wife."

   Then he smacked his shriveled lips and made a clicking sound.

  Fang Jifan said: "My name is Prince Consort Captain, I don't have a wife, how can I be a consort?"

  Xiong Er nodded: "It's really lucky."

   "You don't have a wife?" Fang Jifan asked back.

  Xiong Er showed a painful look: "I can't afford to marry, the bride price is too heavy."

  Fang Jifan said with emotion: "You are not young."

  Xiong Er couldn't help but beat his chest and stumbled: "Yes, after all, you can't be poor for three generations. I resign myself to my fate."

Fang Jifan chuckled, it has been a month since he came to Nanchang, and he heard that His Majesty's imperial chariot went on a personal expedition, but the royal imperial chariot in the palace walked very slowly, dawdling, I am afraid that His Majesty will still be on the way to experience the customs, and now, the year has passed, Don't expect to live a good year on the wasteland of Honggutan.

   But at this time, Chen Wang, the captain of Tuntian School in Nanchang Prefecture, rushed over with a net: "Captain, Captain, here it is, here it is."

  Fang Jifan passed happily.

  Seeing that Chen Wang was panting, holding the net, which was sent urgently from Xishan, the captain specified that he must have this thing, so he seemed extremely careful.

  Fang Jifan said: "Let me see."

  As soon as the net was opened, dozens of large shrimps struggled in the net, and sure enough, they came.

  Fang Jifan said excitedly: "Let's go, let's go to the fish pond."

   As he spoke, Fang Jifan couldn't help drooling, and walked quickly to the fish pond that had been dug a long time ago, and sprinkled all the prawns in the net into it.

   "Captain, this shrimp is not small." Chen Wang looked at Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan was just happy: "They are not too small and can't be eaten. The captain is pointing at them to reproduce."

   What is contained in this net is the legendary crayfish in later generations.

   Crayfish are native to America, but they were soon brought to Europe, and then quickly appeared in Africa, Tianzhu, and the West.

This was brought back by a sailor with Xu Jing. At first, he just thought it was interesting and kept it. It turned out that this thing had extraordinarily strong vitality. In Xishan, crayfish began to appear and gradually multiplied. When Fang Jifan discovered this thing, he also A little confused.

  Your uncle, this is an invasive species, it will kill people... Immediately have people confiscate all these crayfish, and set up a hundred households in the Tuntian Thousand Households to take care of them.

  Now, this thing will come in handy.

  There are so many refugees, all of them are full of food. To be honest, Jiangxi is not poor, but there are many people. In this land of fish and rice, there are many people and mountains, and the imperial court's taxes are not light.

  In addition, over the years, King Ning was preparing for the rebellion and perverted, so many people had to become thieves.

  In Poyang Lake, tens of thousands of thieves gathered, and in Meiling, there were countless thieves.

In addition to confiscating King Ning’s farm, there is also land reclamation and resettlement of these thieves. This alone is just reluctant to let them have a full meal. Xiao Zhu happily cultivated there, but the effect Well, limited for now.

  Fang Jifan has been a man for two generations. According to his standards, it is nothing to eat a person. He pays more attention to nutrition.

  Thinking about coming and going, I wanted to try this crayfish. In Xishan, the growth and reproduction speed of this thing is not fast. In Jiangxi, I don’t know if it can reproduce quickly.

Therefore, he specially ordered people to go to Xishan to fetch crayfish. On the other hand, he asked people to dig a small pond. In the small pond, in order to create an environment for the crayfish to adapt to, he deliberately selected a place with better water quality and built it. Drainage and anti-escape facilities, and then let people fertilize the pool. Of course, the so-called fat is actually the indescribable excrement of the human body. This stuff is not for feeding crayfish, but for raising plankton in the pond.

Crayfish, unlike cattle and sheep, have to eat forage. You must know that forage also belongs to money. It likes to eat mud and plankton. It has strong adaptability, strong resistance to stress, and a wide range of food habits. It can eat anything .

   To put it bluntly, it is easy to support.

   Of course, this is not the worst.

   What's really scary is that this thing has Xiao Zhu's ability to reproduce against the sky.

  Ordinary animals or aquatic products have a estrus period, that is, at this time, we go to give birth to babies, as Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang often said, spring is here, everything is revived, and it is the season for animals to ovulate.

  Crayfish are particularly capable of giving birth, laying hundreds of eggs at a time. Such super reproductive ability, and they are not picky eaters, so they are easy to feed. You can’t find such a thing with a lantern.

The lobsters were put into the pond, even though they traveled thousands of miles, I don’t know how many hardships they suffered. Ordinary fish and shrimps were afraid that they would have died long ago, but when they encountered mud and water, these crayfish started to move again. He picked up the big pliers and rolled happily in the water and mud.

  ………

  Thanks to the new leader Zou Zhengswesii, thank you. Also, thanks to the leader Qiu Huaihanmeng for the reward of 100,000 coins, Zou Zhengswesii is a new friend, Qiu Huaihanmeng is an old friend, Kai Sen.
