"Little duck, how are you?" The door of the inpatient department was pushed open and Fu Youde came in.
"General, I'm fine, I want to go out." The man known as Little Duck was wearing a hospital gown and asked to be discharged.
The wooden houses specially built by craftsmen have glass windows and heating, and sick people can live in them to recuperate.
The little duck was Fu Youde's personal soldier. He went to supervise the mining. He caught a cold, had a fever, cough, and a swollen throat, and was sent to the hospital for treatment.
Fu Youde wore a mask because he was afraid of being infected, even though the hospital had disinfection measures including alkaline water, lime water, and high-concentration alcohol.
"You want to infect us all, right? Are you okay? It's up to you to decide whether you are okay or not? You happen to be staying in the hospital to learn a few more words."
Fu Youde would not let the little duck out. He would wait until the imperial doctor confirmed that there was no problem before it was safe.
As he spoke, he took a step aside, and another soldier behind him pushed a cart in.
"Little duck, the general specially asked for the dish you asked for. The dish you didn't like to eat before was said to be astringent because of the leaves. Let's see if you can eat it this time."
The soldiers who came in pushed the cart next to the hospital bed, opened the lid of a bucket, and steam rose.
"Pak choi and tofu soup?" The little duck was stunned, and then said with a surprised look on his face: "I'll eat it, it's my favorite. Are the vegetables from the greenhouse coming out?"
The eyes of those who stood up in the hospital bed and asked questions widened, can the pak choi be eaten?
In fact, everyone has been cooking for a long time. Since the grass has withered and turned yellow, there are no green vegetables anymore, only the dried vegetables brought.
People in Beiyuan no longer plant Chinese cabbage, radish, and carrots in Helin. They stay hard in the winter and persist until spring, and then eat wild vegetables when there is grass.
People like Little Duck who don't like to eat Chinese cabbage burst into tears when they smell the smell of Chinese cabbage.
"Only the vegetables from the two acres of land will come out first, and the others will grow longer and are still small. The sick and wounded are well fed and taken good care of."
Fu Youde said something, nodded, turned around and went out.
The soldiers scooped up vegetables for everyone in the house, plus smoked fish segments and white-flour steamed buns.
The sick patients are well fed. Except for the main generals, other sergeants cannot eat greenhouse vegetables for the time being.
The herdsmen who are sick will also receive a share, plus the elderly and children, pregnant women, and women who breastfeed their children.
A bowl of cabbage and tofu soup conquered the herdsmen again.
Herdsmen do not grow vegetables, but follow their livestock and eat wild vegetables and mushrooms.
If you want to eat wild vegetables in winter, it depends on your luck. Clear away the snow and ice and see if there are any green buds on the ground. If so, are they edible?
It was basically a waste of effort, as it had to be in a location protected by a lot of hay, otherwise the river would freeze in winter, the soil would have a permafrost layer, and ordinary crops would not appear green.
Unless it's something like winter wheat, which just sprouted and grew for a while before the snow fell, and then was covered with heavy snow, it was still alive and green.
"They give our family a lot, so you can eat it too." Xiaodoudou's mother said to the man.
It is not suitable for men to eat what others do not give, because many soldiers have not yet eaten. It cannot be said that the common people enjoy preferential treatment than soldiers.
His family is special and everyone is familiar with it. They gave him many things and made his eldest daughter and second son smile.
"Don't tell anyone if I eat it." The man was really greedy, because he couldn't eat tofu made from soybeans, so he could only eat milk tofu.
The woman served him a bowl. He thought for a while, then took out the highland barley noodles without touching the white-flour steamed buns.
"Dad, try the cabbage and tofu soup of white flour buns once. From now on, we will live a good life with the Ming Dynasty."
The little girl picked up the steamed buns and handed them over. Everyone ate them well, except for her father, who looked uncomfortable.
"Well! Try it, I have never seen an official who thinks about us! Yesterday, someone said that the Ming Prince Qin Wang bought people's hearts, so I and a few people were beaten.
They wanted to drive his family away, but he kowtowed and admitted his mistake, and his family also knelt down and cried, which made people angry.
While speaking ill of others, he lives by relying on others. Even if he was given an iron pot, he would take it too!
If you don’t want to be bribed, pack up your tent and leave here, or don’t take anything given by others. "
When the man mentioned what happened yesterday, in fact, all the herdsmen in the area knew about it.
Someone is taking benefits but not appreciating them at the same time. Who would dare to contact his family in the future?
Everyone started beating him and trying to drive his family away. The military patrol stopped him and reported it to the prince.
The prince sent an imperial doctor to bandage and sew him up, saying that people's hearts do not need to be bribed, but only for friendship.
Then the one who was beaten cried like a tearful person and admitted his mistake, not knowing whether he was sincere or fake.
"It not only wins people's hearts, but also tells us what Ming Dynasty is capable of. Eat green vegetables in winter, and eat them whenever you want."
The woman said as she put the newly asleep child into the crib, got up and adjusted the light of the kerosene lamp to make it brighter for eating.
Other families also have cribs. As long as the child is under three years old, they will all be given cribs.
Part of the wood used was reserved by the Northern Yuan Emperor to build the palace, and part of it was used to make coffins.
The rest were city defense weapons, which were all dismantled so that the Ming Dynasty could not use them.
It became a greenhouse, a hospital, a stroller, a shovel, a pickaxe, a wooden handle, and other things.
The man took a sip of the soup and swallowed it slowly: "When they repair the fort and grow vegetables in the fort in winter, we will be able to eat it.
I thought about cutting the grass and sending it to the fort in the summer, and they would leave half of it for us to feed the livestock in the winter.
Next time when people from Xiaqiu Village come, let's talk to them and ask if it's okay, even if it's half and half!
It's better for me to cut more grass than to carry it around. What they make is called silage, which is best for feeding cattle and sheep. "
"Ask." The woman agreed.
The two children had already eaten in small bites, reluctant to eat too quickly.
…
"The journey was slow when we arrived, and the greenhouse was built late, so we won't be able to eat cucumbers during the Chinese New Year, right?"
Zhu Xi was eating the same meal, and he was thinking about cucumbers and eggplants. Unfortunately, he went into the greenhouse and saw that they were too different.
On the contrary, Zhu Biao didn't care: "Our slow speed only means we eat less vegetables, but the people along the road have a better life."
He believed that the situation had been reported back, and his father and mother would be satisfied.
When I got here, it was the last time I sent a message to Yingtian Mansion. I didn't send any more people after that. It was too cold and I was afraid of dying on the road.
In his opinion, it is worth it to trade the improvement of people's living standards for a few months' delay in eating vegetables!
The people in Xiaqiu Village kept silent and concentrated on eating. The soup would not taste good once it cooled down.
When Zhu Biao put down his chopsticks, the head of the village spoke out: "In the future, we will use forts to resist the enemy, and then use forts to gather people, and change the nomadic life into semi-nomadic life.
At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining water and grass, preventing soil erosion and desertification, and conducting agricultural operations.
In this way, wild animals will be protected, such as wild camels, wild horses, wild donkeys and other animals, and will not suffer disaster.
The number of wolves can be controlled by reducing the number of wolves within the bunker area and allowing them to live further north.
The next war will require at least three to five years of preparation, during which the Ming Dynasty will work hard to develop its internal and maritime economy. "
The village chief did not discuss with Zhu Biao, but Hanhan came up with the plan. Not all wolves should be killed, but people's safety must be ensured at the same time.
There is no need to discuss, Hanhan is not wrong, he said that if he does not take the initiative within three years, he promises that he should not pursue him again.
