When Qin Na heard Sun Simiao mention salt brine and order tofu, he thought of the violence (sang) and the destruction (xin) of the heaven (bing) things (kuang) by a certain unscrupulous third brother. He gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Sun, can you imagine that someone would Feed delicious tofu to wild boars? Not only do you feed wild boars with tofu, but you also make tofu with different tenderness to see which one the wild boar likes more!"

The master went into seclusion to practice swordsmanship, and with the courage of someone, I didn’t dare to go to the back mountain to ask him to come out, just for a bowl of tofu; the senior brother and the second senior brother were not interested in delicious food, as long as they could fill their stomachs, as for eating What? He didn’t care. Even if he gave them a bowl of soil to eat, they would most likely not notice it after they finished it. The fourth senior brother hid in the small courtyard and kept talking about fortune-telling. Every time, it was a bad fortune, no matter who went there. It's the same as asking him to tell your fortune, but if he doesn't like you and makes a fortune, the best solution is to buy a coffin, dig a hole in a geomantic land, and bury yourself to avoid more misfortune. He was afraid of the consequences, so how could he go to him for help? The only person left who could suppress the third senior brother was Xiao Shiyi, but the most important thing every day was to see how miserable Zhang Shuai was. On his face, he even smiled as if he was not smiling, and even asked a certain person to praise him without repeating it. The number of words was no less than that of Deng Tuzi Fu!

Others, omit. The third senior brother would not pay attention to them at all, except for the youngest Pei Shiqi. As for Pei Shiqi, that woman who dresses like a man all day long has a blinded face, and I don't even bother to say another word to her.

"Is there no sign of poisoning after eating the wild boar?" Sun Simiao asked in surprise. Why do you feel that Qin Wulang has deep resentment towards salt-marinated tofu? Maybe he was overthinking it. Old Ghost Gongsun had a lot of money in his hands. After all, he had accumulated it for hundreds of years. His wealth was three points better than that of Old Thief Zhang. There was no way he could let the disciples in the mountain sect go hungry.

Qin Nawei was stunned for a moment, and said even more surprised: "Mr. Sun, my third senior brother is better than my master in using poison to identify poisons. How could he feed poisonous tofu to wild boars? His purpose is to teach wild boars to climb trees. It’s not like letting the wild boar die.”

I hate to say it in front of you, but Third Senior Brother is more powerful than you. But Master said in front of us that when it comes to using poison to identify poisons, the three senior brothers are unparalleled and unparalleled.

How could Sun Simiao, who had experienced countless world affairs, fail to hear Qin Wulin's hidden words? Turning your attention back to the letter, you may be able to find the most suitable recipe before Yuan Zheng, and add a few delicacies for the officials of Prince Teng's Mansion and the gentlemen of the Political Hall... The taste and texture of human and wild boar are still more There are some differences. After putting the letter away and putting it in the wooden box in the upper left corner of the book, he said: "You will be responsible for the field preparation. I and Xu Ling are going to work on the trial production of tofu. If the quality of salt brine is not inferior to that of gypsum, it will be useful to the people." In other words, there are more jobs to do.”

If it were other foods, those aristocratic families and local wealthy families might hesitate for a moment, fearing that it would have some poisonous effect. Tofu, with Huainan Wang An as a guarantee, they will flock to it. Lun Heng Daoxu records: The king of Huainan died while sitting still, and the whole world heard about it. It was also seen at that time. There is also a saying in Confucian books that he attained Taoism and immortals went away, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. Yuefu poems include: The King of Huainan speaks of his respect. A hundred-foot-tall building connects to the sky, a well is dug in the back garden to make a bed, and a gold vase is made of plain silk to absorb cold liquid. Drinking cold liquid and drinking young people, how can a young man be virtuous... There is also Cui Bao's ancient and modern notes saying: The King of Huainan is the work of Huainan Xiaoshan. The King of Huainan took food to seek immortality and paid homage to the alchemists, so he left with the alchemists without knowing where he was going. The disciples of Xiaoshan were so longing for him that they became the king of Huainan, Qu Yan.

Qin Na sang softly, and sent the transcribed records of Wei Gui's tofu making, as well as his own improved records to satisfy his appetite, in front of Sun Simiao, and said softly: "Mr. Sun, these records are for reference only, one pound The beans can yield three to four pounds of tofu, so it’s not just a job.”

The yield of soybeans has always been lower than that of millet, wheat and rice. Although it is easy to care for and can be used as yellow rolls, bitter wine and sauces, its planting area is getting smaller and smaller... If the master hadn't sent a message from Chang'an, asking for full cooperation To promote tofu, a certain talent would not do anything unnecessary. In someone's eyes, instead of struggling to make tofu, it is better to plant mulberry and raise silkworms. Although the level of hard work is similar, the latter can obviously earn more money.

"Three to four pounds?!" Sun Simiao heard this and quickly browsed the letter written by Qin Wulang. It turned out that it was not that he had never made tofu, but he had never thought of weighing it. Who would think of weighing the ingredients he eats? It's not like he was doing an experiment... Wei San was indeed doing an experiment.

"If we only make soy milk, there will be more." Qin Na hesitated for a moment and said softly. "Personally, I prefer drinking soy milk rather than cow's and goat's milk. Adding a little corn, rice and long-lasting fruit will make the taste more mellow and the texture more delicate."

The third senior brother planted a lot of longevity fruits, but it was a pity that four-fifths of them were taken to Prince Teng's Mansion by the master. Even the ones that had not grown yet, four-fifths were scheduled to be taken away... Otherwise, someone would not be the first. The first time he saw King Teng, he challenged him on the art of weaving. As a result, he took a different approach and taught a certain person the embroidery techniques all night, and also talked about the art of tapestry weaving. After a while, he would teach a certain person... he was not a son of a man! You are no longer a human being! I wonder if having something to worry about affects your sleep? Not sleeping well will affect your mood. How can people with unstable moods do good things? However, thinking about the master, four senior brothers, and that guy Xiao Shiyi, they were unable to use their methods against Prince Teng, which made him even more depressed.

Sun Simiao didn't know that Qin Na was treating Li Yuanying in his heart, trying to find ways to make him obediently tell the art of brocade and tapestry. His eyes were looking at the art of tofu. Black beans, soybeans, white beans and mung beans could all be used. Then, use salt marinade or alum juice or sour vinegar solution and put it into the kettle. There are also people who use gypsum in the vat. Most of the things that are salty, bitter, sour and pungent can astringe the ear... Pointing to the sour and vinegar lake, he asked, "Were these written by Wei Sanyang?"

Looking at where Sun Simiao was pointing, Qin Na nodded slightly and said, "Except for the acid vinegar lake, everything else has been tested by the third senior brother. The acid vinegar lake was deliberately poured into the cooking kettle by a certain junior brother to be naughty, but it achieved almost the same effect. , the wild boars still think tofu is delicious.”

He ate even more cheerfully, wagging his tail, humming and enjoying the ivory-colored tofu with great joy, which made the junior brother so depressed that he ran to the sword washing pool and washed his sword for half a year.

Sun Simiao: "..."

Are there any normal people in the Shushan Sword Sect? Shouldn’t your main job be practicing swordplay every day?



When Xiao Yu set off from Chang'an, Li Yuanying also took people on board the ship heading south. Also leaving on the same ship were Cheng Zhijie and his subordinate officers and guards. He needed to return to Chang'an to take up a new position.

There were no gongs and drums at the Songhua River pier closest to the Xing'an Police Station, and no colorful flags were fluttering. Three icebreakers cleared the way, followed by warships, building ships, grain ships and horse boats, and then headed along the Songhua River toward the estuary.

"Your Majesty, there are rich placer gold deposits along both sides of the river. We can mobilize some people to collect them." Wei Gui said softly after seeing the color of the river outside the window getting darker.

This land covered by ice and snow is definitely worthy of being rich in products. If it weren't for the small number of barbarians who like to herd and hunt and don't know much about farming and smelting, even if there is a half-year ice period, it would still be rich. Can live a comfortable and prosperous life. Not to mention the cold, King Teng only felt the fun brought by ice and snow in Xing'an, as well as countless fish, wood, and bear paws.

"When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, come and explore the Dead Leaf Island and Black Water again, and then push northward. Remember safety first." Li Yuanying did not mention the gold rush. The current problem of the Tang Dynasty is not that it cannot conquer the territory, but that it has no territory. Enough population to migrate... I hope that after a certain person returns to Chang'an, many people will jump out and accuse a certain person of extravagance and waste. It would be better if there are a few more people who dare to scold a certain person.

There are many dandies in Chang'an, but Xing'an is a good place.

Wei Gui: "..."

It seems that a certain person and King Teng are not talking about the same thing.

However, Cheng Zhijie looked at Li Yuanying who was in a relaxed mood, blinked his left eye, and laughed softly: "Your Majesty, if you have something interesting to do, you can't help but bring someone with you. Someone thinks that the Cui family will miss you when they go south. Once again I saw the spectacular scenery of thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow.”

Of the three houses in Nandu, two are related to a certain person and King Teng. In order to show that we are moderate in everything, impartial and impartial, impartial and not party-minded, and do not have any selfish motives of favoring one over another, favoring one over another, and fighting for the same party, they should take the lead in setting an example.

Li Yuanying looked at Cheng Zhijie with great reverence and asked with great curiosity: "Cheng Sima, are you not afraid of the old story of drinking bitter wine?"

That's just concubinage. Even the beauties gifted by my brother are just concubines. It's easier for Mrs. Fang to find fault with them than it is for beggars to find lice and fleas. Lao Cheng was directly targeting Madam's natal family. It didn't matter to me. Although she was of high rank, she was not a royal concubine after all. Her natal family was not considered to be someone's maternal family, so there was no pressure on her.

"A certain lady is sensible." Cheng Zhijie said proudly, holding his neck. If you add two long ears, you will be called a donkey, a donkey, and you will not only be proud but also arrogant. Although it is cold here, with us here, it is easy to let Wei Shidu study in the best land...second only to the farmland. It is easy to circle a large piece of land for them, not to mention getting tax exemptions. Shipping priority and other benefits.

It is estimated that His Majesty will be so excited that he will reward them with a few powerful official positions of six or seven grades. To be honest, they have made a lot of money!

Li Yuanying's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of the group of tyrannical bosses in later generations who enjoyed spending money. He could suggest to his brother that he cooperate with certain companies to solve the problem of population migration. He gave a thumbs up to Cheng Zhijie, suppressed a smile and praised: "What Cheng Sima said is absolutely true. After returning to Chang'an, I will have a good chat with the prime minister about sensible things."

In the ninth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (198 BC), Liu Bang accepted the suggestion of his doctor Liu Jing and merged a large number of the families of high-ranking officials, Gaozi rich people and heroes in the Guandong area and moved them to Guanzhong to serve Changling and in the cemetery. Changling County was built nearby to accommodate the migrants. Later, when Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying was building Anling, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was building Yangling, Emperor Wu of the Han was building Maoling, and Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was building Pingling, they all followed suit and built Anlingyi and Yangling near the cemetery. Ling-eup, Maoling-eup and Ping-ling-eup.

When Aye started the uprising, he issued official instructions to the heroes of the Three Qin Dynasty: Righteous flags spread across the river, Guanzhong responded, and the gates converged, and those who left felt as if they were home. The heroes of Wuling, the crowns of the three assistants, the ministers, generals, and prime ministers, the children of the good families of the young heroes, follow me to assassinate me, and when they are afraid of those who come behind, they join forces to fight for success. A good nobleman will live forever in this dynasty.

A talented man who likes to admire flowers, the moon and the fragrance of autumn wrote: Others laugh at me because I am crazy, but I laugh at others because they cannot see through it. There are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers or wine to cultivate the fields.

There is no need to worry about adaptation problems when moving people to the forests farther north with mining. The Tang Dynasty in the warm period, rich coal resources, endless virgin forests, cute steam trains... It is better to fatten those aristocratic families than to fatten them up. A certain person is good at fat people, not to mention not fattening them up, because a certain person will regularly give his brother advice on how to cut leeks.

"Prince Teng, I am an official of yours, far and near, huh~" Cheng Zhijie not only showed no fear, but also gestured with his hands to indicate the distance, and said lazily, showing that he was drinking and eating meat from a large bowl in Wagang. The bandit style of the time.

Li Yuanying laughed dumbly, hooked his fingers and asked Wei Gui to sit next to him, took out the most comprehensive map from his sleeve, and said with a low smile: "Let's make a careful calculation, and it is most suitable to invite the nobles there to dig and farm in the north. "

Wei Gui thought about the fertile land occupied by the nobles, and cooperatively drew circles on the map. Those places were very suitable for growing white berries, longevity fruits or peppers... Sun Gong's interplanting of soybeans and wheat. There is also the method of interplanting Changshengguo with wheat, and the experimental results are particularly good. Not only can it increase land utilization, it can also reduce wheat and soybean diseases and improve fertilizer utilization.

If those nobles could be relocated, the production of the land everywhere would increase. Coupled with the production of the black soil in the north, it would be difficult for Datang to have large-scale famines again. In a small-scale famine, food can be prepared everywhere, let alone a situation where the land is thousands of miles away and there is no human habitation.

Looking at the three people who were whispering loudly together as if there was no one there, Zhang Guo turned to look at Yuan Tiangang and asked with his mouth: "Don't you care?"

Shaking the whisk, Yuan Tiangang shook his head slightly. The discussion at this time will appear in His Majesty's book along with Cheng Zhijie's memorial and become one of the national policies in the next few years. Why should someone stop it? A prosperous age cannot be achieved with just a few words. I will not object to any strategy that can make the so-called common people live a better life. Anyway, aristocratic families are like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain, there will always be new ones appearing in endlessly.

Zhang Guo focused on digging mountains and digging holes, rarely looking up at the sky, and rarely paying attention to the stars, except for hole hunting and positioning. Now with Wei Sanyang, a rising star, by his side, he not only did not know his shame and become brave, but instead adjusted very openly. Have a good attitude and be willing to be a deputy.

Zhang Guo: "..."

Looking at Crazy Yuan's expression, it seems that someone has missed something important. What did someone miss? The changes in Feng Shui cannot be hidden from my old eyes, so the only thing left is the stars... I will observe it tonight, hum ╭(╯^╰)╮, I always act like I am one step ahead of others, it is really annoying!

Du Che put down the pen in his hand and happened to see Zhang Guo's expression...
