"The third advantage is very important. Khan, your grassland cannot do without the tea leaves from the Central Plains. That's because there is something called vitamins in the tea leaves."
It was the first time Lin Dan heard that tea could keep herdsmen healthy because it contained vitamins. He didn't understand the word, but that didn't prevent him from understanding what Tian Zili meant.
“The vitamin content in corn is very high, 5-10 times that of rice and wheat. Among all staple foods, corn has the highest nutritional value and health care effects. Corn also contains riboflavin and other high-nutrient substances, which are beneficial to the human body. It’s very beneficial”
"What is this riboflavin and what is it used for?" Lin Danhan asked in confusion.
"Riboflavin, also called vitamin B2, is a type of B vitamin. When it is deficient, the symptoms are mostly inflammation of the mouth and eyes, such as angular stomatitis, cheilitis, glossitis, conjunctivitis, etc."
Lin Danhan nodded. It is true that almost everyone on the grassland suffers from these diseases. Even he himself often gets sick. He is the one who is most in need of tea, let alone others.
"You people on the grassland eat too much meat, and they will suffer from gout, high blood fat, and high blood sugar when they get older. This corn beard can cure these diseases."
Lin Danhan has some knowledge of Chinese medicine, so he can understand these words. He is a senior gout patient. The pain of gout is really crazy. I heard that this disease could be cured, and I immediately became excited.
"Young man, if you can cure my gout, I will marry my little daughter to you."
Tian Zili was startled. I thought to myself that the Mongol Khan was not crazy, and his daughter got married so casually.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The corn will be ripe by then. You can boil water with beard and drink it every day. You don't need me to treat it."
"This corn stalk can be used as feed. When winter comes on the grassland, cattle and sheep can only use their hooves to dig through the ice and snow and eat the grass roots underneath. If the snow is heavy, many cattle and sheep will starve to death. But this corn stalk is half a foot long. They are long, more than an inch thick, and come in large quantities. After harvesting, they are dehydrated and dried. They can be stored for a winter and can be used to feed cattle and sheep, and can also be used as fuel for cooking and heating.”
When Lin Danhan heard this, his heart became hot. This corn is simply tailor-made for him. He has food and feed. If other tribes want to survive the winter safely, they must rely on him and no longer dare to have any dissent.
This food is so important to him.
His eyes looked greedy, like a hungry wolf. Licking his lips, he looked at Tian Zili.
I thought to myself, boy, your words have given Ben Khan so much hope. If you can’t plant it, don’t blame Ben Khan for throwing you into the wilderness to feed the wolves.
"Boy, Ben Khan has decided to marry Ben Khan's little daughter to you now. If you can't grow it, don't blame Ben Khan for letting you go to Changshengtian."
Tian Zili was frightened by the wolf-like gaze of the Great Khan.
"Well, Khan, corn can definitely be grown, but your daughter still doesn't want to marry me. I have to go back. I still have some unfinished research on hybrid rice."
"It doesn't matter. You planted corn and taught Ben Khan's herdsmen. You can go anywhere. You can take Saren Qiqige away. What Ben Khan said cannot be changed."
Tian Zili continued to refuse, but Wang Gu next to him quickly pulled him and told him to shut up. Wang Gu hurriedly said: "Thank you to the Great Khan for the marriage. I agree on behalf of Tian Zili."
Tian Zili was dumbfounded.
What is going on? I have an extra daughter-in-law inexplicably. She is from the Golden Family. She is supposed to be a princess, but she is just a farmer.
In the evening, Tian Zili had just finished eating in his tent when the door of the yurt was opened and a group of Mongolian women came in.
There was a girl dressed up in the middle, looking at him shyly.
This girl is plump, but very sexy. The body looks very strong, but the little face is very attractive, with the plateau red unique to the Mongolian people.
After delivering the girl, these women bent down and bowed deeply to Tian Zili, put down the various household items and pots and jars they were holding, and then stepped back, retreated, and closed the door.
Tian Zili heard a click and the door was locked.
Tian Zili hurried over and saw through the grilled window on the door that there were more than ten Mongolian warriors standing outside the yurt, surrounding them and guarding them facing outward.
"It's over, I can't even run away."
Tian Zili said to himself, he turned back to look at the girl.
I saw the little girl kneeling down, putting her right hand on her chest and saluting, muttering something in her mouth, with a shy look on her face.
Seeing Tian Zili's embarrassed look, he smiled softly and took off the tall hat on his head. Take off your headgear one by one. Place on a piece of cloth and wrap.
Then he turned around and started laying out the bedding.
Tian Zili was dumbfounded. This country girl must be too liberal. Why is it like eating and drinking on the wedding night?
The bedding was laid out. The little girl stood up, walked to Tian Zili, and began to untie his robe.
Tian Zili was completely stunned. He was helped into bed just like this in a daze.
The little girl gently blew out the oil lamp.
In the darkness, rustling sounds came.
After a while he got in. Hug him gently.
Tian Zili couldn't bear it anymore.
Tian Zili seemed like a small boat rising and falling on the stormy waves. Sometimes it sinks to the bottom of the valley, and sometimes it flies to the top of the waves.
It was a long storm, the sea was rough and the boat was heaving in the wind and rain.
It wasn't until the storm subsided that I fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.
After that day, Lin Danhan never summoned them again, as if he had forgotten the matter.
The team marched on the grassland, trudging through the snow during the day, and setting up camp at night.
Tian Zili gradually got used to the fact that he had a family.
The little girl is very gentle and respects her man very much. Always lower your head and talk to him softly and slowly.
Every day when Tian Zili woke up, he found that his side was empty. When he raised his head, he saw that plump figure busy.
Breakfast is already prepared on the table.
The little girl helped him dress and eat.
During the day, she would take care of the housework and sew clothes and Mongolian-style robes for him.
In the evening, I brought him foot-washing water and soaked his feet gently.
Such days are so comfortable. Mongolian women turn out to be so dedicated and loyal to their men. Unknowingly, he had fallen deeply in love with his little wife.
The two tried to communicate during their free time. Tian Zili learned Mongolian with her, and she learned Chinese with Tian Zili. Tian Zili was immersed in happiness, and time flew by.
At night, the herdsmen set up bonfires, played the morin fiddle, and sang long and sad tunes.
Tian Zili took her to sit in the dark and listen.
In the firelight, her little face was flushed, and Tian Zili was fascinated by it.
From this moment on, Tian Zili gradually began to have a deeper understanding of this nation on horseback.
Until one day, as the surrounding herdsmen and soldiers cheered, a gray-white city group appeared on the distant horizon.
The legendary last capital of the Mongol Empire, Chahanhot City, has arrived.
