Chapter 16 Huang A Chou’s Considerations
A person disappeared for more than half a year and then appeared in front of everyone, went crazy for a few months, and suddenly became completely different from the previous person. What was the reason? If you ask Feng Yong, Feng Yong will say that it is because he has traveled through time.
There was no such thing as time travel during the Three Kingdoms period, so people at that time had only two explanations: one was that it was taught by gods and men in dreams, and the other was that it was all just a pretense before.
The theory of gods and ghosts was popular in the Han Dynasty, so it is not too strange to have the first explanation. But compared to the first explanation, Huang A Chou believed in the second explanation.
Because the Feng family was not originally from Shu, they claimed that they fled to Shu because of the war in the north. The world has been in chaos for decades. Such a long period of war can smooth out too many things and prevent others from tracking down those people and things that have disappeared in the war.
"If my aunt wants that Quyu plow, she can just ask someone to get it. I think Feng Mingwen will not dare not give it to him. Besides, he has received great favor from the late emperor. If such a thing that benefits the country and the people can be popularized, it will be considered It's a credit, doesn't he understand this truth? Besides, even if he is not happy, if I offer him some compensation, I'm sorry he won't be able to say anything."
Guan Ji, who was sitting next to her on her knees, watched Huang A Chou fall into deep thought after reading the information on Feng Yong collected in the past few days, and couldn't help but speak.
After hearing this, Huang A Chou smiled faintly and shook his head slightly. Her skin is somewhat dark and her hair is slightly yellow.
If Feng Yong sees it at this time, he will definitely suspect that this is a beauty who has traveled through time like him, because her skin color is exactly the healthy wheat color pursued by fashionable beauties in later generations, and her hair is so similar. It is carefully dyed yellow.
“Of course Quyuli is a good thing, but what interests me most is not this, but him as a person.”
Huang A Chou gently shook his head again and said slowly, "The Prime Minister regards "Shu Ke" as the law. If it is really because the Quyuan Plow benefits the country and the people, and you can use this as an excuse to take it by force, then you have broken the rules. Yes. After starting like this, it will not be easy for others to follow it later.”
"Besides, I'm afraid you don't know that when Ma Youchang came back from a tour of the surrounding counties, he came across a new noodle dish called Mantou. He said it was extremely soft and delicious, and it was even more delicious than the steamed pancake. , and after asking, I found out that it was him who did it.”
"I had a conversation with him again, and I heard him say to be careful about the rebellion in Nanzhong. At that time, Ma Youchang thought that this person was hysterical, but he did not expect that a few days ago, there was news that all counties in Nanzhong were rebelling. News. Do you think this person can still be treated with normal eyes?"
As the nominal second wife of the Shu Han Dynasty and the actual first wife, Huang Achou wanted to investigate an ordinary person in Shu in detail. It was enough to find out everything that could be found without spending too much effort. . But the more detailed the investigation, the more Feng Yong made her feel uncomfortable in her eyes.
No one knows what he was like in the years before he came to Shuzhong, because everyone who knew was dead. During these years in Shuzhong, except for his performance in the past year, he also behaved very normally in the rest of the time.
The only thing that is unreasonable is the more than half a year he disappeared, and the few months he suddenly reappeared and became crazy. It is reasonable for a person to undergo a major change and have a drastic change in personality. But it is very unreasonable for Feng Yong to be like this.
It is possible that he has experienced ghosts and gods, but Huang Yueying believes that there is an expert behind him. The crux of the question is, is he himself the son of a man in the hidden world, or is he a chess piece thrown into the world?
Since ancient times, corn has been the staple food because it is resistant to drought, can be stored, and has stable yields. Therefore, even in places like central Sichuan where there is a lot of rain, the court still stipulates that a certain amount of corn must be grown.
However, because the yield of wheat is higher than that of millet, and the most important thing is that wheat can be harvested in early summer, which can to a large extent alleviate the people's dilemma of having no food to eat during the lean period, so the court also stipulated that certain crops must be planted. wheat.
The appearance of Mantou made this most vulgar food suddenly become more delicious than steamed cakes. Many people may not realize the significance of this. However, as a woman who could match Zhuge Lao Yao, Huang A Chou was keenly aware of the possible significance of this.
Yes, corn can be stored for a long time indeed. It can be stored for seven or eighty-nine years without any problem. The key is that at this time, more food production is the way to go. Which common people would save food for seven or eight years before eating it?
Generally speaking, if the food can be eaten from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it belongs to a small rich family! Which ordinary family does not need to fill their stomachs with wild vegetables mixed with bran a month or two before the grain harvest? Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as "green and yellow"?
Of course, if you grow more wheat at home, you can also eat some wheat rice. After all, the yield of wheat is definitely higher than that of corn, but the disadvantage is as mentioned before, it is too unpalatable!
It is a trivial matter to barely eat the wheat rice, if it cuts the throat, but it is a big matter to eat too much, which cannot be digested and accumulates in the stomach, but to stretch the person to death. But if there is no other food, if you don’t eat wheat rice, then eat wild vegetables mixed with bran, which is even harder to swallow than wheat rice. Eat less wheat rice, although it may be uncomfortable, but at least you can survive.
Nowadays, someone can make such unpalatable wheat rice into delicious mantou. This will at least allow those who have land to take the initiative to plant more wheat. As for whether the common people will grind the wheat into powder and make mantou, Huang A Chou naturally wouldn't expect this.
How to eat well is something that only wealthy families have the right to think about. The reason why it is mandatory to grow a certain amount of wheat is because wheat rice is too unpalatable and wealthy families are unwilling to grow it. Most of the land is controlled by these people. in hands. Now with this barbarian, wealthy families have a reason to grow more wheat. By growing more wheat, they can harvest more grain, which is a great blessing.
At least, eating wheat rice is better than starving to death, right? When Ma Youchang joined the army, he only considered military rations, but did not think about the daily lives of the people. This was indeed biased.
If you add the plough, a sharp tool for farming... Huang Achou's eyes flashed, this person, whether he is really a disciple of a hidden master or a chess piece released into the world, must be carefully watched, I'm afraid he really can be of great use. .
"Use? Of course it has a use, and it's a big use!" Feng Yong walked around the newly built stove, thinking that he could finally eat stir-fried vegetables, and his mouth was almost watering.
Braised chicken, braised chicken nuggets, stir-fried farm chicken, roasted spring chicken, steamed chicken nuggets, braised red chicken, braised fish, home-style stewed fish, sweet and sour fish...whatever you want to enjoy! I have been here for several months. Every day, besides fish soup, there is chicken soup or fried vegetables without oil and salt. Feng Yong feels like he is going to vomit.
Even so, Feng Yong still feels that he is lucky, because at least he has traveled through a family that allows him to spend so much luxury. Yes, it is squandering and extravagant. Eating meat every day is an extremely luxurious behavior at this time. But he couldn't stand the fact that this family had money, silk, silk and fields gifted by the emperor. More importantly, he alone had the final say in this family, and no one could stop him from squandering.
The housekeeper felt a little confused. Looking at the owner of the house, he seemed to want to cook himself?
The housekeeper has never read a book and cannot speak the sage's saying: "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen". But he also knows that no matter how poor a family is, as long as there is a woman in the family, the man will not cook, otherwise it will be looked down upon, not to mention that there is a cook in the house who specializes in cooking. ?
“Isn’t it a bit inappropriate if the master wants to cook in person? If word spreads, I’m afraid he will be laughed at by others again.”
Strange, why do you say "again"?
Feng Yong thought for a while, had he been laughed at a bit too many times? He nodded immediately and said: "Uncle Zhao is right. Since I have been laughed at so many times, I don't care about this time."
Steward:…
