Chapter 209: Artificial Cultivation
In the evening, the group sat around the fire and ate delicious grilled food. Because Mu Yuxi didn't bring any palace maids with her, she was particularly eye-catching when she sat around a bunch of men alone.
"Give."
Quan Jingmo sat beside her, holding a leg of mutton with a yellow sheep in his hand. The yellow sheep was brought from the afternoon hunting, and the fire roasted it, and the oil was bright and shiny on the fire, which made Mu Yu very greedy.
Mu Yuxi wanted to catch the split leg of lamb handed to her by Quan Jingmo, but when she thought about it, it seemed to damage the image of the imperial concubine, so she hesitated.
Quan Jingmo naturally saw her scruples.
He put the leg of mutton back on the iron plate where he was placed, took out the dagger he carried with him from his body, patiently cut off the tender meat on the leg of mutton and put it on the iron plate, and gave the plate to Mu Yuxi.
"Eat it hot."
"Yes."
Mu Yuxi was a little embarrassed, didn't dare to look at the eyes of others, lowered his head and picked up the meat on the plate with two fingers to eat.
Quan Jingmo looked at Mu Yuxi's small appearance, his heart warmed, a smile gradually emerged, and after looking at it for a while, he moved his gaze back to the leg of mutton, and picked up the leg of mutton without any image scruples and gnawed it.
Mu Yuxi glanced at Quan Jingmo: sitting cross-legged on the ground, his clothes were slightly thin, and he was holding a leg of mutton and gnawing without any sven behavior.
Strangely, she couldn't see any recklessness and lack of appetite from his movements, but felt that he was so informal, so down-to-earth and generous.
That's probably what a real king is.
At this time, Quan Jingmo and Mu Yuxi were attracted to each other, while the others sitting around the fire were shocked by the emperor's actions.
Everyone found out that just now the emperor gave the best meat to Mu Zhaoyi, and he ate the rest, and that kind of carefulness and patience is unmatched.
"Your Majesty, why do I think the need for medicine from the Quan Dynasty has become less recently?"
Even when kings drink and have fun, they think more about the interests of their own country. And this is the case with King Xiling. Although Xiling Kingdom is small, the reason why the Quan Dynasty has kept it peaceful for so long is that more than half of the supply and processing of medicines in the Quan Dynasty depend on the Xiling Kingdom. In the past six months, the number of medicines needed by the Quan Dynasty has decreased significantly.
"Some pile-up. In addition, the winter is cold and the transportation is inconvenient, so I am nervous to use the inventory all the time. ”
Quan Jingmo is telling the truth, this is for the protection of manpower. The second is also to save some costs.
"Medicine is not as good as anything else, it still needs to be fresh to be effective. After all, human lives matter. ”
In fact, although King Xiling's words are true, he is more to let the Quan Dynasty buy more medicinal materials from Xiling Kingdom.
"Isn't this medicine all winter?"
Quan Jingmo was puzzled. Although he reduced his purchases, he never let the people use the medicine for the winter, and he has always used it this year.
"But it's definitely short-lived."
Quan Jingmo put down the leg of mutton and thought for a while. He didn't know much about medicine. Therefore, the timeliness of some drugs is also ambiguous.
It's not that he can't afford medicine, it's that the price of Xiling Kingdom is getting higher and higher, especially in winter.
"King Xiling, this medicine is the best in Xiling Kingdom?"
Seeing that Quan Jingmo was thinking, Mu Yuxi sucked his oily fingers and asked seriously.
"It's the best of Xiling Kingdom."
In this regard, Sirin Ang is still confident.
"Then the formula of this medicine is also the best prepared by Xiling Kingdom?"
Mu Yuxi remembered that Quan Jingmo told her that King Xiling entered Beijing this time to worship precious medicinal materials and precious secret recipes.
"Naturally."
"In fact, medicine is indeed miraculous, it can cure diseases and save lives, but it is not irreplaceable."
What Mu Yuxi said made everyone prick up their ears and listen carefully.
"Sometimes the combination of three herbs can cure a disease. And Xiling Kingdom did business with the Quan Dynasty for so many years before. The formula of daily medicine has probably been figured out by the doctor a long time ago, so it is nothing more than some precious formulas, so in fact, the right dynasty does not have to choose expensive, and it is not impossible to make some daily medicines by himself. ”
Mu Yuxi opened his mouth lightly, Quan Jingmo glanced at her, he knew that she must have some idea. After hearing this, Xiling Ang smiled a little contemptuously:
"Mu Zhaoyi, you probably don't know that although the formula of this general medicine is easy to obtain, this medicinal material is only available in Xiling."
What is the boundary of what is planted, the land of Xiling Kingdom. It is rich in precious mountain medicinal materials.
"King Xiling probably doesn't know that this powerful dynasty is rich in resources, and it is not for nothing that there is a place suitable for the growth of medicine. Medicines are similar to plants: water, soil, sunlight and temperature. And in a place with a similar climate to Xiling Kingdom, the Quan Dynasty is so big. Yes, there will be. ”
After Mu Yuxi finished speaking, Xiling Ang became a little strict.
"Then you can find something similar in this environment, but the Quan Dynasty itself has no place for the concentration of medicinal materials."
This is like a saline-alkali land that cannot grow crops, although the land of the Quan Dynasty is large, but the types of medicinal materials are very scattered, and it is difficult to manage them centrally.
"Your Majesty. The concubine has an idea, it is better to let the concubine talk about it, and let the king of Xiling, an expert in medicinal materials, advise the concubine. ”
Mu Yuxi suddenly turned her head to look at Quan Jingmo, and the confidence in her eyes made Quan Jingmo's trust in her increase dramatically.
"Good. Let's hear it. ”
"In fact, medicinal materials must be the best to grow under natural conditions, but the right dynasty has a large population, and things in short supply have happened repeatedly, so it is better for us to change a way of thinking and let the medicine grow under artificial cultivation, so that it can be given good nutrients and environment, and it must be almost the same as the medicinal materials of Xiling Kingdom."
Mu Yuxi just had a flash of inspiration and thought of the method of making zuò medicinal materials in modern times.
There are too many people in modern times, and the destruction of the ecological environment leads to fewer and fewer natural medicinal materials, so people have come up with the method of artificially cultivating medicines in order to be able to supply them sufficiently.
Although the medicinal properties are not as good as those of nature, they can also cure diseases.
Sure enough, when Quan Jingmo heard the idea of artificially cultivating medicinal materials, he immediately became interested.
"Be specific."
"There must be a place where the terroir of the Quan Dynasty is good, if it can be artificially cultivated in such a place, and different kinds of medicinal materials can be gathered and planted in batches, wouldn't it solve the shortcomings of the shortage of medicinal materials? Moreover, now that the pharmaceutical industry of the Quan Dynasty is underdeveloped, the Quan Dynasty all rely on the Xiling State to supply medicine, and the Xiling State has a monopoly, so it is natural to ask for a price, so the Quan Dynasty has not done a big wrong? If the Quan Dynasty also has the ability to make its own medicines, then King Xiling, can the medicinal materials in your country be cheaper? Otherwise, without the big buyer of the right dynasty, your medicine will be stranded. ”
Mu Yuxi said it very bluntly, and the pros and cons were all on the bright side, which made King Xiling's face sink suddenly. (To be continued.) )
