"It's terrible to be uneducated, the sage is right!"

Yuan Chang shook his head and said regretfully. After Guan Li lowered his head in shame at Yuan Chang's gaze, Yuan Chang continued: "Black soil is not some bad thing, on the contrary, black soil is a treasure gifted by God. Black soil is a kind of soil with good characteristics and high fertility, which is very suitable for the growth of crops. In the entire Central Plains, there is only such a piece of land in Youzhou, which is not only not well utilized, but also considered an ominous place, which is really a tyrannical thing. Did you know that growing crops on black soil, even without fertilizer, can make crops grow at their maximum yield? You can imagine how big the plain at the junction of Liaodong County, Changli County, and Xuansu County is, and how many crops can be grown? Judging from the fact that Champa rice can be grown for three seasons a year, do you think that the grain grown in Shan Youzhou can solve the grain problem of all the people in the world?"

"The lord is wise, thinks long-term, subordinates are short-sighted, fail to understand the lord's intentions, and ask the lord to punish him!"

Well, after Yuan Chang's explanation, Guo Jia and the others finally understood that it was not Yuan Chang's whimsy, but it was really possible, but their ability was limited and they couldn't understand this kind of thing beyond their cognition. However, fortunately, Yuan Chang explained to them, so they seemed to understand whether they understood or not. All in all, it is a very good idea to use black soil to grow Champa rice, and there will be no mistake in listening to the lord anyway.

"Okay, now that the rice seed has a goal, the land for planting has also been selected, and now we are waiting for Ye Gucheng and them to return. It's really all ready, only the east wind is owed!"

Yuan Chang couldn't help but sigh and said, because of his arrival, Zhancheng rice entered the land of China in advance.

Historically, Champa rice first appeared in the land of China in the late Tang Dynasty and was introduced to Fujian during the Five Dynasties, and before the Sui Dynasty, the south was still a desolate place. They are called Nanban, and they are regarded as the same kind of people as the northern aliens. Later, Emperor Yang of Sui attacked Nanchen and became famous for it, so Emperor Yang of Sui regarded the south as his land of dragons. Vigorously developed. Of course, there is another reason that Emperor Yang of Sui hated the cold in the north and preferred the warmth of the south. Subsequently, after the development of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, especially the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the connection between the south and the north was also closer, and the economy of the south also developed rapidly, and gradually surpassed the north.

The economic development of the South led to the rise of merchants. The coastal area of Fujian merchants. Based on shipping, it radiates to neighboring countries. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the Fujian merchants began to flourish and developed the Maritime Silk Road to prosperity, and from this, Champa rice was brought to Fujian. Of course, during the Tang Dynasty, although Zhancheng rice had flowed into Fujian, it did not receive the attention of the Tang court. Until the time of the Song Dynasty. That is, during the period of Song Zhenzong, because of the drought and lack of water in the Jianghuai and Zhejiang regions. Sent envoys to Fujian to take Zhancheng rice, as many as 30,000 Hu, respectively in the Yangtze River, Huai River and the two Zhejiang regions, and ordered the transfer envoy to post a list of articles"...... Compared with the Chinese, the rice has a long panicle without mangs, and the grain difference is small. Born from a place to place". Since then, propagated by the Song court, Champa rice has been rapidly popularized in the Central Plains, and the yield of crops has been increased.

Actually, historically. Before the Song Dynasty. Once there is a natural disaster in the world, it will inevitably cause food shortages and other problems. However, since the popularization of Champa rice in the Song Dynasty, grain shortages have rarely occurred, which shows the impact of Champong rice. Now, under the influence of Yuan Chang, Champa rice has entered the land of China hundreds of years ahead of schedule, and Yuan Chang understands the advantages of Champa rice, so he will naturally vigorously promote it, and this kind of thing will not happen in the land of China in the future. Speaking of this, of course, it is a great merit, which is beneficial to the present generation and the future generations.

"My lord, what this is all about being ready and only owing Dongfeng is very appropriate. However, which allusion appears in this allusion?" Guo Jia praised, and then asked the doubts in his heart.

"Uh, this..."

Yuan Chang was slightly stunned, it is impossible to say that in a few years, Liu Bei and Sun Quan united against Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang then came up with such an allusion in order to break Cao Cao's naval army. However, Yuan Chang can be regarded as nimble, and with a roll of his eyes, he quickly had an idea.

This allusion is about the war between Wu and Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Wu State Navy was strong. Fan Li of Yue came up with a plan to burn the warship of Wu, but the wind was not in the right direction at that time. Fan Li felt that everything was in order, but he lacked the help of the east wind. Hence this remark. ”

"I see, I really live and learn to be old!"

Guo Jia nodded in amazement, and said, "The lord is erudite and talented, and he should be a model for us." It seems that we are really shallow in knowledge, and we still need to work hard, otherwise we will not be as good as the lord!"

For Guo Jia's praise, Yuan Chang naturally took it all without blushing and without a heartbeat.

"Fengxiao, don't worship the Honshu pastor, the Honshu pastor is just a legend. Therefore, it is good for you to compare yourself with other people, and if you compare yourself with the pastor of this state, I am afraid that you will feel inferior. ”

"Yes, yes, what the lord said is very true, Jia Ming remembers it in his heart!"

The meeting seemed to have become a stage for Yuan Chang and Guo Jia, one boasting and the other slapping horses, and the two of them were still enjoying themselves, completely ignoring the disgusting and vomiting expressions of everyone around them.

"Ahem!"

Guan Li couldn't help but cough lightly twice to interrupt the two of them's singing praises, and said seriously: "The talent of the state pastor is like the bright moon in the sky, and the subordinates are just fireflies on the ground, which is difficult to reach. It's just that now Youzhou is in ruins, and the state pastor needs to lead his subordinates to open a new chapter. May I ask the state pastor, is there a good way to change the scene of Youzhou?"

it!

Everyone looked at Guan Li with a look of surprise, but they didn't expect this guy to be inconspicuous, not dewy, and his kung fu was so good, and he was really not good-looking.

"What Guan Li said is exact, what else is the lord's plan?"

"Haha, Feng Xiao and Shi asked about the heart of the Honshu Mu. The good policies in the pastoral chest of this state are like the stars in the sky, and they are not counted. Today, the Honshu pastor will say them one by one, you can refer to them. Thanks to the reminder of Feng Xiao and Shiqi, the Honshu pastor remembered. In order to commend you for your contributions, this state pastoral special reward you two wine five altars, in order to create a beautiful Youzhou, you should take Fengxiao and Shiqi as an example, and do not slack off. ”

Of course, Yuan Chang didn't give them wine for the sake of these nice words they said. In fact, it's because of this month. With the hard work of the two, Yuan Chang had this idea a long time ago. Just took advantage of today's reason to take the opportunity to give the wine to the two. As for the flattery of the two, it was just a fuse.

Seeing that Guo Jia and Guan Li had won Yuan Chang's five altars of wine, the rest of them all had red expressions.

Whether it was following Yuan Chang early, or joining Yuan Chang's command after the Youzhou War. I have tasted Yuan Chang's self-brewed wine. The taste was really not ordinary, the fine wine I drank before, compared to the fine wine that Yuan Chang brewed himself, it was like horse urine. After the Youzhou War, Liu He, Gongsun Xu and others, who joined after the celebration banquet, had the honor to taste it, and they had long been thinking about it. At this moment, seeing Guo Jia and Guan Li getting the wine like this, they naturally regretted it a little, and they knew that they had taken the opportunity to say a few good words just now. Maybe they'll have their share. Of course, they also knew that Yuan Chang had received such a reward because of Guo Jia and Guan Li's hard work this month, so naturally they would not be really jealous, but just complaining.

"As I said earlier, change the people to eat this aspect. In addition to the introduction of Champong rice, the cooking method of the dish can also be slightly innovated. After reading the poetry and books of the Honshu Pastoral Expo, looking at the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics. A method of cooking to make dishes more delicious was discovered, although this method occasionally appeared among the folks. But it was not taken seriously. After trying it himself, he found that this method is the best choice, and it will definitely cause an uproar in the food industry!"

Yuan often said that the bull fork was coaxing, but everyone no longer had the same skeptical expression as before at the moment. Instead, everyone showed a curiosity. The expression of a good baby.

Of course, the new cooking method that Yuan often talks about is actually stir-frying. Like Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Han Sui. Yu Ban and the first batch of Bohai Counties followed Yuan Chang's subordinates, so they naturally knew about stir-frying. They have also participated in Yuan Chang's family banquets many times, with Yuan Chang's own hands, or Liu Xi's cooking and stir-frying dishes, which are also wonderful, with Yuan Chang's wine, they only feel that their previous days have been in vain. And Liu He, Gongsun Xu and others, who followed Yuan Chang after the Youzhou War, naturally haven't tasted the taste of stir-frying, and they can't talk about the taste of eating marrow, but they are just a little curious, and they don't show an impatient expression.

Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty was actually a very magical period.

In the Song Dynasty, except for the tragic wars with the surrounding countries, the rest of the aspects can be said to be the most prosperous period of the Chinese dynasties. Even if it was a war, it was because of the system of the Song Dynasty, not because of the combat effectiveness. You must know that the Yang family, the She family, Yue Fei and others in the Song Dynasty were all famous generals, if it were not for the problems with the military system of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would inevitably become a dynasty that surpassed the Tang Dynasty, and it was the most powerful dynasty, there was no one.

There is no doubt about the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty, and according to the research of the bricks and beasts, the economy of the Song Dynasty at that time accounted for more than 90 percent of the world's total, and even the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty or the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty accounted for only about 30 percent of the world's economy; as for the Kangqian era of the Qing Dynasty, it was actually a joke, and the economy only accounted for about 10 to 20 percent of the world, and it could not be compared with the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty at all. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Song Dynasty can be said to have been developed in an all-round way, perhaps a big reason is that because the economy is developed, both the people and the officials want to get a higher quality of life, rather than a single life. Just like Huaxia, at the beginning, I ate a big pot of rice, and everyone thought it was normal. However, when the economy develops, let everyone eat in a big pot to see who is willing? Moreover, when there is money, there will be more natural activities, and bars, Internet cafes, and so on have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Obviously, stir-fried food was actually popularized in the Song Dynasty.

Before the Song Dynasty, dishes were mostly steamed or raw. Just like the raw food of a certain island country, it was actually learned in the Tang Dynasty. Before the Song Dynasty, another reason why stir-fried vegetables were not popularized was because of the problem of edible oil.

Before the Song Dynasty, edible oil was mainly extracted from animals. Moreover, most animals can actually extract not much oil, and the only animal that is the easiest to extract oil is a lowly livestock, not to mention the officials and nobles, even ordinary people are unwilling to touch it, and it is generally eaten by slaves.

That's right, it's a domestic pig.

Before the Song Dynasty, domestic pigs were extremely dirty and lowly livestock in the eyes of people, and it is understandable to think about what pigs eat. So, before the Song Dynasty, pigs were not put on the table as a dish at all. In the Song Dynasty, perhaps for some reason, pork was widely recognized and occupied the mainstream market. There is a dish name that can be a good proof that the status of the pig has been improved, and that is naturally the dish of Dongpo meat.

Pork is delicious and can squeeze a lot of edible oil, pigs were not valued before the Song Dynasty, so the edible oil is insufficient, and stir-fry will naturally not be popularized. As for vegetable oil, then don't be kidding, there are not enough vegetables to eat, where are you willing to use it to extract oil?

As for Yuan Chang cooking in person, the first time, he was naturally persuaded by Guo Jia, Cai Yong and others, and the gentleman was far away from cooking.

Just kidding, don't look at who Yuan Chang is.

As a result, Yuan often quoted scriptures, reasoned, and laid out facts, so that Guo Jia, Cai Yong and others believed that later generations took the words out of context and misunderstood the words of the sage. Originally, Junzi Yuan's kitchen was mainly to warn people to have a benevolent heart, rather than to keep people away from the kitchen. Therefore, when the concept of hierarchy is not particularly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Yuan Chang can naturally easily move Guo Jia, Cai Yong and others.

In fact, it was after the Wei and Jin dynasties that the concept of hierarchy became a constraint on people's behavior.

At that time, Chen Qun proposed the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, which is the so-called "the upper grade has no cold door, and the lower grade has no scholars", which made the rank of the scholar clan become strict. Many of the sage's remarks were taken out of context and distorted during such periods. It was not until the Wu Zetian period that the Guan Longshi clan was dying by Wu Zetian and Li Zhi's two sets of combined punches, and then after the destruction of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, it can be regarded as disappearing in the long river of history. Moreover, it is particularly worth mentioning that Chen Qun proposed the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, and I am afraid that after his death, his family would be reduced to the lower grade. If this outcome is expected, it is estimated that Chen Qun will not propose the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

To get back to the point, since Yuan Chang proposed the new cooking method of stir-frying, he naturally also proposed the idea of squeezing lard. So, under the influence of Yuan Chang again, stir-fried dishes also appeared hundreds of years earlier, and then Yuan Chang naturally also mentioned the famous eight cuisines, which was naturally amazing.
