The rain keeps falling, and I feel a little concerned about the world.
The soldiers who went out to hunt for the last time had to endure the most difficult time today. The common people stopped going into the mountains to collect medicine.
Fengyang officials came again, but they were not summoned by the prince. They took the initiative to inquire about the situation.
On such a rainy day, many people feel loss of appetite, dampness and stomach discomfort.
The key point is that it's a bit hot. I want to drink water but find my stomach is sore.
It is a normal reaction to reduce the oxygen content in the blood under low atmospheric pressure, especially when the temperature does not drop.
There is water mist in the air, just small water droplets, and there is less oxygen when breathing.
People who do physical work do not react much in this environment, and some are even more excited.
Officials suffer the most when they exercise less.
For children with a fast metabolism, it is more comfortable at this time, which is called cloudy joy. Many children have experienced it.
Especially when I was a teenager, I liked to go out for a walk under an umbrella, or breathe hard outside the window.
The officials felt that they were uncomfortable, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin were also uncomfortable.
In fact, there is no problem at all for two people. They are using chopsticks to mix vegetables in the big basins in front of each other!
The children in Xiaqiu Village were cooking. They came over and thought it didn't look good, so they asked for a job.
One person mixes Qianzhang shredded silk and mung bean sprouts, and all the seasonings are ready.
One person then mixes the onion with tofu, and the soybean paste has been fried in advance.
The children in Xiaqiu Village are frying fish pieces in small pieces. They don’t want fish heads and tails, just eat meat without fish bones.
Zhu Wentian used a large pot to fry large pancakes, just like deep-fried dough sticks, but he put a large piece of bread in at a time and cut them after frying.
There is something steaming in the big steamer next to it, which is eggplant. After steaming, the fried minced meat will be poured on top. It is more delicious than the fried minced meat and eggplant, and does not have as much oil and minced garlic.
"You guys sit down, we're almost ready to mix it here, we'll eat later. I've washed a lot of onions and cucumbers, and over there are scrambled eggs and meat sauce for dipping, and there's also lettuce."
Zhu Biao kept moving his hands and asked Fengyang officials to find their own seats and sit down first.
How dare officials sit down? The prince and King Qin are working!
They stood nearby and watched, knowing that the kitchen here belonged to Xiaqiu Village. Except for the first day of departure, he began to be responsible for the food of the prince and the king of Qin.
I heard that this was the case in Yingtian Mansion. The prince initially went to get meals every day, and later women from the village brought meals to the prince's mansion.
After a while, all the food was ready and the people from Xiaqiu Village set it out.
The officials washed their hands and started eating.
After a few bites, I found that it was not as uncomfortable as before, and every dish tasted good. The cut cakes became more and more delicious the more you chewed them.
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin, the air pressure is too low today, so the dishes are a little salty. I will drink cucumber soup at the same time.
This neutralizes the gastric acid, and because there is a lot of salt, you need to replenish water, which will metabolize the gastric acid together.
I felt it last night. It was arranged in advance. If something doesn't fit, I can adjust it immediately. "
The chief was also busy, looking at the stove for steaming eggplants.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong were enjoying themselves, so how could they have any objections?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the King of Qin, have you had stable food and accommodation recently?"
The prefect Qin Yu brought his team here to ask the prince and King Qin if they were feeling uncomfortable, but as a result, he felt less uncomfortable eating now.
Next time you encounter the same weather, cook accordingly.
Zhu Biao swallowed the fish in his mouth: "The team will leave the next day and continue moving forward. I will leave a few people behind to collect the medicinal materials.
The local landforms are many and there are many mountains. Although the mountains are not high, it is difficult for ordinary people to penetrate deep.
When the herbs are almost harvested, it is also a slack time for farming. It would be better to lead the people to build a few mountain roads, and then select experienced hunters to organize and build hunter houses. "
Zhu Biao didn't mention his own food and accommodation at all. He ate well and slept well.
Instead, he requested that the road be repaired. There was no need to repair the road on the flat ground, as it was almost repaired.
When the palace was built before, all the stones, colored earth, and wood that came and went were walked, and the roads were naturally built.
However, the roads on the nearby mountains are not cared for by wild beasts. If the mountains here are cleaned up, the wild beasts on the mountains next to them will come.
Herbs are harvested in four seasons. People need to go into the mountains from time to time. If the roads are not good and there is a lack of safe houses, their lives will be in danger.
"What your Highness said is absolutely true. It just so happens that the people have not yet gone out to do corvee work this year, so they are using their days." Qin Yu, the prefect, said there was no problem.
Zhu Biao looked at the other party and said: "Take some people to fish and feed the workers meat. They can only work for half a month, and then rest and prepare to harvest rice.
After the rice has been harvested and dried, work for another half month. The autumn harvest must not be delayed, and the people must not be tired. "
"Your Highness is right." The prefect suddenly felt sweat on his forehead. It was raining lightly and the weather was stuffy, so people tend to sweat easily.
He never thought that the prince was counting the days for the autumn harvest! I had never considered this just now.
After lunch, the officials went back in the rain. The prince and King Qin did not need to wait for others to take care of them.
"Brother, after harvesting the rice, we can just plant it in Fengyang County first and show it to other places.
It's a pity that we brought too many livestock with us on the trip and couldn't allocate them for their use.
We can only wait and see the situation next year. There are cattle and horses in the Northland from Hetao to Yanzhou. 200,000 cattle and horses will be distributed among them, and the remainder should be saved. "
Zhu Xi was thinking about this while eating. Their team mobilized animals from various places, and they could no longer use Yingtian Prefecture and other prefectures to draw animals to support Fengyang County.
"Yes! It can't be done by human beings, just like fighting. How can there be many ingenuity!"
Zhu Biao also felt uncomfortable. Seeing the opportunity approaching, he found it difficult to grasp it.
As he said that, he turned to look at the leader, his eyes full of expectation, meaning, can you ask the hidden master?
The head of the village met Zhu Biao's gaze, and without thinking about the master's affairs, he took the initiative to make an idea: "Your Highnesses, our next place is to go to Baofeng County in Ruzhou.
In this case, we will not go to Kaifeng and go directly to the west. Mobilize the ships, load the things on the ships, and send them to Luoyang.
After our inspection from Ruzhou, we went to Luoyang to gather supplies, continued our boat, and headed west along the Luoshui River, landing in Luonan County.
At that time, we were very close to Xi'an. We had to climb mountains, but Kaifeng didn't care.
Baofeng County is not only the production area of bitter salt, but also the main production area of coal. "
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi's eyes lit up at the same time, and they both said together: "Map."
The person accompanying him immediately ran to find the box, and fetched the box containing the map. The director skillfully read the numbers, pulled out two volumes, and unfolded them.
There are rivers on the map! Sure enough, there is one that can reach Luonan, and a little further west is Xi'an.
"Okay, instead of going to Kaifeng, we will go directly to Ruzhou. Some of the things will be sent to the ship. We will keep the livestock and the people who know how to rotate crops.
It will only take more than a month for them to finish planting and then transport their livestock to chase us.
In this way, there is no delay, and some animals in the team can rest. "
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Ming and helping the people of Fengyang didn't matter anymore. Experts were powerful.
