In the thirty-second year of Zhenyuan, on the banks of the Ili River.
More than a dozen fast horses galloped across the grassland, with a pair of young men and women riding at the front.
The young man riding the horse was tall, dressed as a black warrior, with a handsome face and a high nose, but he still had the appearance of a Han man.
He loosened the reins with both hands, raised his bow while riding the horse, and shot the rabbit running in the distance with an arrow.
But the girl wearing Mengyuan clothes had already galloped past him, shouting: "I want a more powerful prey."
"Nahar." Xu Da called her quickly and said, "It's too far, go back."
"No reply." Nahar turned around, smiled and waved to him, the silver bell on her wrist swaying, "Catch up with me if you have the ability."
The girl is the daughter of King Zuoxian of the Meng Yuan Dynasty. Now she is also an aristocratic female princess in Ili. Xu Da was the top martial arts scholar in the 30th year of Zhenyuan. He was sent to Yunzhong Road and became a general. He can A military official with a command of 20,000 troops.
"Xu."
Xu Da finally pulled the reins of Nahar's horse and said, "We can't run anymore."
"Oh well."
Nahar braced herself on the saddle and jumped off the horse dexterously. She smoothed her hair and said with a smile: "With you, the top martial artist, by my side, I won't be afraid even if the wolf comes."
Xu Da had no choice but to lead the horse and follow her, saying: "That can't be nonsense. If we really encounter a pack of wolves, no matter how good my archery skills are, I won't be able to deal with the pack. What's more, you are still here." around."
Nahar hummed, sat down by the river, and waved to him.
"Sit down for a while."
Xu Da couldn't help but let out a long breath, sat down next to Nahar, and stretched. The scenery here was indeed good.
At first, he thought that Yunzhong Road would be an endless desert filled with loess.
Who would have thought that there would be such a lush grassland.
He sat for a while, lay down on his back, looked at the blue sky, and murmured: "The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows and you can see cattle and sheep under the grass."
Nahar lay down next to him, looked sideways at his face, and asked softly: "Can you tell me more about Daqian Chang'an?"
"You have been in the pass, and now you are here and seeing this endless grassland, you naturally find it novel."
"But I was born here since I was a child. All I have seen is this grassland and mountains. I really want to go to Chang'an, the capital, to see the lanterns."
Xu Da looked at the blue sky, but his thoughts returned to Chang'an, the capital.
Until now, he finally understood a truth.
This is what the Prince of the Supervisory State said in his newspaper: Where there are people, there is a world.
What is there in the vast Gobi Desert in the northwest?
There were only cattle, sheep, hares, wolves, eagles, and shepherds.
In fact, Yili has become the last pasture of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Why build a ranch here.
It was also because Daqian's mission brought back cows from Xizhou, the kind of black and white cows.
Their milk production is very high.
When the prince of the prison country saw it, he felt as if he had found a treasure.
They were put on a pasture in Longyou Road, and this year Wei Yuanzhong was asked to set up a pasture in Yili to specifically raise this kind of cattle.
Then get the milk.
In the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, boiled milk can make the body strong.
Now that Daqian no longer has to worry about food and clothing, he should live a better life.
After Xu Da came out of seclusion.
Only then did I realize that the capital was the capital that people could yearn for and never forget.
It is the home in your heart.
Thinking back to the time when I participated in martial arts, my eyes became a little blurry.
He began to tell the story of his martial arts and what he saw in Chang'an.
Nahal listened quietly.
It wasn't until Xu Da finished speaking that he turned around and found Nahar holding his arm and falling asleep.
…
"Originally, drinking milk should be a favorite diet of the Mongolian people, but now, His Highness the Prince has promoted it to the north and south of Daqian."
"I'm worried that if we fail to educate Meng Yuan, we may turn him into a barbarian."
Wei Yuanzhong shook his head and said, "What is Hu Hua?"
The old man didn't know where to start and said: "For example, hand-made rice, milk tea, and milk are not the eating methods that Han people in the Central Plains are accustomed to."
Wei Yuanzhong said with a smile: "After a person is born, he needs to drink human milk to grow up slowly. When he is finally weaned, he must first slowly become familiar with whole grains."
"But you can also see the physical difference between people who eat whole grains and people who eat meat and drink milk every day."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intention is not to use Meng Yuan's method of eating, but to allow the people of the world to be strong, strengthen their bodies, reduce diseases, and prolong their lives."
"Why does something that benefits the country and the people have anything to do with Hu Hua?"
"Xuanfu knows what I'm talking about."
Wei Yuanzhong shook his head, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. I only know that His Highness the Crown Prince has never missed a step."
"Mongolians and Hans are already one family, and there is no such thing as Hu-hua or Han-hua."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that we must abide by the customs and etiquette of the local people. Milk... is for the common people to strengthen their health and prolong their lives. This is a good thing and should be adhered to and promoted."
"You only focus on His Highness, so you think that drinking milk is Huhua, wearing Mongolian clothes and speaking Mongolian is Huhua. But remember, changing a person's behavior is very fast. What is difficult is to change all directions. Educating all people is a step-by-step process. The process is not that fast. Now we grow potatoes in the Western Region, and they grow corn in Yanbei. How many times can the seeds be sown in a year? But now that the seeds are planted, sooner or later they will sprout."
The old man was thoughtful.
Wei Yuanzhong patted him on the shoulder and finally said: "Take the essence and discard the dross. This is what His Highness often said."
"We can already see that this is the right path, so why do we still stick to the rules and stop moving forward when it is clearly the right path?"
The old man said nothing more.
Wei Yuanzhong shook his head gently and left the private room.
This is Ili City.
Under construction.
Just because there is a lush grassland here.
What's more, there are dozens of cows raised here, and there will be more and more in the future.
The milk was then boiled, sealed in relatively well-sealed wooden barrels, and transported by carriage to Yunzhong County and Harlem City, and then from these two places to Guannei and finally to the capital.
The factory in Huxian County, Jingshi, will perform secondary processing, put it in glass bottles, and seal it with corks.
You can put it in the store and sell it.
After adding a little sugar to the milk, it tastes better.
If you add some juice, it will taste better.
The Prince of the Kingdom of Jian said that everyone should be able to drink milk in the future.
Now they are selling it and using the money to raise the grassland pastures, breed the cows, and slowly raise more cows.
In the future, the imperial court will pay for the purchase, and then deliver it to the state colleges in Daqian, so that the students can drink the milk first.
In the future, it will be the county college, which will be promoted step by step.
Wei Yuanzhong started the experiment immediately. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
This is also a classic saying of the prince who oversees the country.
He drank for a month.
I found that I was indeed much stronger. In this northwest land, my body was far worse than before due to the cold weather.
But now I have been drinking milk for more than a month, and I find that my energy and energy have improved a lot.
Even his silver hair turned a little darker.
"Grow up quickly."
"When you grow up, you can have an extra bucket of milk."
Wei Yuanzhong looked at the black and white cows, his eyes shining brightly.
