After taking care of the affairs of the border residents, Li Mi followed Ji Jun's suggestion and quietly sent the grain, seeds and medicinal materials away by boat.
Ji Jun found that people in Dazhou today did not know much about the ocean and did not pay much attention to it.
I can't help but secretly regret that back then, in order to fight for an outlet to the sea, many countries fought with each other, and the war stretched across the Eurasian continent.
Because of previous intelligence leaks, this shipment of food and medicine by sea was not reported to the Ministry of War.
Therefore, manpower cannot be deployed from the Ministry of War.
Li Mi used the token to mobilize some of the guards from the Duke of Li's Mansion, as well as some people from the Jianghu people hired by Ji Jun.
Some of the Jianghu people hired by Jijun were proficient in watercraft and familiar with shipping. Some have outstanding martial arts skills and are responsible for protecting supplies.
There are also several people responsible for observing and recording the ebb and flow, wind direction, undercurrents, etc. along the way.
The ocean is so mysterious. Even in the 21st century, there are still many blank areas in human understanding of the ocean.
However, at this moment, Ji Jun is thinking that perhaps this is an "epoch-making" voyage!
There were "compressed multigrain biscuits" prepared by Ji Jun himself on the boat. Because he was worried about the weight, he only put a small part. The main supplies are food and some medicinal materials that are not afraid of moisture.
In addition, Li Mi had sent someone to tell Li Jiajun's military adviser to ask the army kitchen to make the livers of livestock and poultry into food, and boil water with pine needles to improve the symptoms.
The wolfberries, cassia seeds and mulberries are dried and some are made into powder to reduce the size and weight. There are also chrysanthemums at the border, so you can get them locally.
However, due to Bei Liao's harassment, there is concern that the supply will be insufficient. Therefore, shipping personnel will also catch marine fish along the way to solve the problem of "night blindness".
Among the grains reported to the Ministry of War on land, most of the "grain compressed biscuits" were included. This is to solve the problem of lack of B vitamins.
Compressed biscuits will not suffer much damage even if they are burned by fire.
What's more, Li Mi and Zhou Biao secretly lined up their masters and quietly followed Li Jiajun's grain transport convoy along the way.
Prepare to have a big fight with Bei Liao's sneak attack troops! Have a good time venting your anger!
More importantly: kill one to serve as a warning to others!
Ji Jun didn't know how they deployed, nor how their combatants communicated with each other.
Imitate bird calls? Barking like a dog?
I guess everyone in Beiliao is already familiar with it.
However, Ji Jun remembered the role of the "chicken feather letter" and told this story to Li Mi and others.
After hearing this, Li Mi, Zhou Biao and Zhou Huan were obviously very interested and seemed to be able to help them.
After arranging everything, Li Mi came to the "Good Neighbor" and felt very happy thinking about this operation.
He heard that Ji Jun and Ji Min were in the backyard, so he rushed over directly.
But he was seeing Shaoyao busy in the yard, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Shaoyao raised his eyes and saw Li Mi and wanted to salute, but Li Mi stopped him. Shaoyao smiled and said:
"Grind powder for us ladies, Zhuye and the others. It's almost summer, and we have to deal with mosquitoes and flies! Alas, we ladies seem to be a different person since we came out of your Duke's mansion!"
Ji Jun happened to come close and was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that there was a flaw?
Shaoyao has been following the original person, and I am afraid that her understanding of the original person is not much worse than that of the original person's parents.
Is this suspicious?
When Li Mi heard this, he became interested and stopped and said:
"Why did you change someone?"
Shaoyao thought for a while and said:
"When we were at the Duke's Mansion, the eldest lady said that the second cousin's son looked like Wangcai. Because like Wangcai, the second cousin liked to eat steamed buns and noodles, and he also poked hornets' nests. After being stung by a wasp, his head looked more like Wangcai's. Wealthy! Now, I feel that the grand master looks like a wealthy man. This change is too big!"
Jijun's little flames were swishing upwards. Isn't this nonsense?
It is possible to say that Li Tanxiang is prosperous! That was the original time.
And, well, Li Tan does look much stronger than Li Mi!
After leaving Duke Li's Mansion, I only learned a few days ago about how to make money.
Li Mi came and said cheerfully:
"Did your lady say that? That I look like a man of wealth?"
Shaoyao shook his head:
"The lady didn't say that, I just guessed it!"
"Guess?" Li Miqi asked.
Ji Jun, "..."
I also want to know how you guessed it.
Shaoyao Dao looked around and said to Li Mi mysteriously:
"Every time the lady mentions you, the smile she shows is the same as when she saw Wangcai before! So I think the lady regards you as Wangcai!"
Li Mi coughed. Ji Jun couldn't see his expression, so he thought it wouldn't be good.
Just listen to Li Mi say:
"Maybe your lady thinks Wangcai is you or your little lady? Doesn't she smile when she looks at you?"
Shaoyaoli said confidently:
"That's different! It's not different at all!"
"What's different?" Li Mi and Ji Jun outside were full of curiosity!
Shaoyao stopped what she was doing and said extremely seriously:
"The eldest lady looks at me and the little lady. She always feels that we eat too little and cannot compare with the wealth. Look at the eldest young master, she always feels that you eat too much!"
Li Mi, "..."
I really have nothing to do, so it’s unnecessary to ask.
Ji Jun was inspired by the thought of the spy TV series and movies he watched in his previous life, where "Morse Code" existed like a divine help.
But in this era, there are no "Arabic numerals" yet. After the matter of requesting a seal, Ji Jun became more cautious.
Don't let others think you are "seducing people with evil words" and bring trouble to your parents and uncles, or even kill them!
One to nine cannot be represented by Arabic numerals. After thinking about it, Ji Jun considered using simple words such as "flower, grass, wood, water, fire, earth, rice, field, square" instead.
Several books were also stipulated as "code books".
For example, "花木米火" means:
Book 1, page 3, word 5 of line 7.
Li Fu and Zhou Biao were amazed at the case!
Ji Jun saw their happy expressions and suddenly thought about one thing:
I should write this "code book" and write some stories! To be serialized!
Just like Jin Yong and those others who wrote martial arts novels for newspapers!
I have to write something positive, preferably a story about a woman’s self-confidence and self-improvement!
Not only is it published and printed, it also has to be preached by storytellers!
ah! Just thinking about it makes my heart surge!
As we enter early summer, it’s time to eat seafood.
Crab is also a favorite delicacy of dignitaries and ordinary people in the capital.
Jijun used to live in the north, where fresh seafood was more expensive because it was far from the sea.
Later, I went to school in the south. The city was adjacent to the seaside, so it was very convenient to eat seafood.
However, Jijun doesn't like crabs, shrimps, clams, oysters, etc.
I was very envious and puzzled as I watched my roommates feasting there.
The roommate said,
"Borrowing money to eat seafood doesn't mean you can't survive!"
I feel very sorry for Ji Jun not understanding the deliciousness of seafood!
The kitchen steward came to ask your aunt how to cook the crabs given to Danguiyuan.
Your aunt remembered that Ji Jun and Ji Min were recovering from their injuries due to bamboo leaves, so it was not appropriate to eat these sea creatures. He specifically told her that his share with Ji Min would be handled by your aunt.
Your aunt is also taking medicine herself, and is worried about the conflict.
So I told the kitchen manager to give the crab portions from Danguiyuan to Aunt Zhuo and Aunt Yuan.
Aunt Zhuo came to visit Gui Aunt and the Ji sisters to express her gratitude.
Your aunt smiled and said:
"Sister, you're welcome! I heard that on the way to your Fanghua Residence, I was cut off by Aunt Su again?"
Aunt Zhuo sighed helplessly:
"No, we picked out all the big and fat ones! The rest are all small ones, almost all males!"
Ji Jun consoled him:
"Don't worry, aunt. In fact, crabs are cold in nature. Women can just try them. It's not advisable to eat too much."
Aunt Zhuo put on a smile and said:
"That's true. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I eat or not. It's just that Miss Baochang will be wronged."
Ji Min frowned and said a little doubtfully:
"Could it be that a dozen of them aren't enough for Sister Baochang?"
Aunt Gui and Aunt Zhuo looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After seeing off Aunt Zhuo, sisters Ji Jun and Ji Min returned to the room. Shaoyao was angry:
"Miss, if we knew that Aunt Zhuo couldn't keep those crabs, we would have let her and Miss Baochang come to our Dangui Garden to eat! As a result, Hong Xianglin got an advantage!"
Mulan shook her head helplessly and comforted:
"Didn't you listen to what the lady said? Crabs are cold in nature. It's not advisable for women to eat more crabs. Why don't you just let him eat them? He's just taking the cold poison for us!"
When Ji Min heard this, the hand holding the tea cup shook slightly, and the water almost spilled out.
Ji Jun walked over, patted Ji Min on the shoulder without leaving any trace, and said with a smile:
"Do you want to grow up like a fat pig like Hong Xianglin?"
Shaoyao's wrinkled little brows relaxed and she said happily:
"Of course not! Oh! Miss, I understand why Hong Xianglin insists on eating so many crabs. He does it for nourishment!"
Haitang was quite bored and lazily continued:
"Hong Xianglin's leg is broken. Crabs have eight legs, so he just needs to patch up the legs. Shaoyao, what's so strange about this?"
Shaoyao looked at Haitang with disdain, a heartbroken expression on his face.
"It's terrible if he doesn't study! How can he make up for his eight legs? Of course he can make up for his brain!"
Ji Jun and Ji Min both got excited to see how the peony was divided.
Shaoyao said:
"Think about it, when we talk about the animals in the sea, they are all dragon kings and turtles, shrimps, soldiers, and crab generals. Dragon kings and turtles, that Hong Xianglin doesn't dare to dream. He doesn't want to be a soldier, so he just wants to be a general and use his strength!"
Although Haitang and Mulan felt that Hong Xianglin's desire to become a general was delusional, they had to be convinced.
Ji Jun, "..."
Ever since, I really want to write a book now, and the title is "My Maid with a Strange Brain"!
In the courtyard, Ji Min asked Ji Jun softly:
"Cousin, why did Hong Xianglin only rob Aunt Zhuo's crabs and not those of Aunt Yuan and the others?"
Ji Jun looked at the starry night sky, his heart as calm as water, and said calmly:
"She wants to take revenge! Your aunt divided the crabs between Aunt Zhuo's Fanghua Residence and Aunt Yuan's Fengrong Courtyard. Aunt Zhuo deliberately bribed the kitchen to send the big fat crabs to Fanghua Residence first. Therefore, Hong Xianglin is greedy, so he only needs to grab the food and send it to Fanghuaju. On the way, they deliberately got into an argument, and Aunt Zhuo took the opportunity to put the medicine inside. "
Ji Min frowned slightly:
"Wouldn't it delay our arrangements?"
Ji Jun looked at Ji Min with a smile.
"I believe cousin, no!"
However, it will disrupt the moment when Hong Xianglin breaks out.
Brother and sister Hong Xianglin have relatively serious allergies.
Seafood is an extremely common allergen.
In the past, in summer, especially at the seaside, many people would develop allergies due to eating seafood, which could be serious or even life-threatening.
The crabs bought by the Marquis of Huai'an were tender and plump. When cooking, Ji Jun had people add "squid bones" and "safflower" and other medicines to them.
These drugs can enhance allergic reactions and are anticoagulants!
In the era when Ji Jun lived, there was a disease called "Henoch-Schonlein Purpura"!
It is small vessel vasculitis caused by allergies and other causes, which is characterized by dilation of small arteries and capillaries, and increased permeability and fragility of blood vessel walls, thereby causing bleeding.
Safflower can activate blood circulation and make him bleed more...
Aunt Zhuo's medicine not only enhances, promotes and induces allergic reactions, but also causes body ulcers.
As for where it goes wrong, it all depends on Hong Xianglin’s luck!
Maybe, it's the skin on the limbs.
Maybe, it's the head, face, chest and neck.
Perhaps, it is the descendant root of Hong Xianglin...
The sins suffered by Zhuye and others must be paid back bit by bit!
We need to make Hong Xianglin feel the same way and make him remember it forever! Never forget it!
