Chapter 90: Planning (1)

Kangxi looked at the white open nuts in front of him and called "A pistachio", and then looked at Shuyun with some doubts, Kangxi didn't know what Shuyun wanted to do with these fruits so solemnly.

Shuyun was also quite surprised, she didn't expect Kangxi to know pistachio and its common name. Then he asked, "Xuan Ye, how do you know that this is called Ayue Pituo?" ”

Seeing Shuyun's surprise, Kangxi smiled, smiling a little proudly, Kangxi felt that Shuyun thought he didn't know about the pistachio, so he took it out and wanted to show off to him. He has always believed that he is definitely a knowledgeable emperor, and there are almost no emperors in the past who can compare with him, and Kangxi has always been very proud of this. But now, he is always hit by some new things provided by Shuyun, and he has to pinch his nose and praise twice. Although Kangxi didn't say it, he actually felt quite disgusted in his heart. Now it's rare to be able to fight back at Shuyun in this regard. So Kangxi put up the shelf and said, "How can I not know the Dao, it is said that this Pistachio was there in the Tang Dynasty." It is cultivated in Kashgar, Hotan, and Aksu areas south of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, and every year the toast there will pay a lot of tribute to the palace, and I will taste two meanings every time. ”

Shuyun rolled her eyes and swallowed back what she wanted to say. Then he said in a slightly exaggerated tone, "This pistachio, I met it from Persia, but I didn't expect it to be available in our Qing Dynasty." Xuan Ye, thanks to your knowledge, otherwise I would have made a joke. ”

"Hehe, it's nothing. The "Collection of Materia Medica" compiled by Chen Zangqi in the Tang Dynasty has long recorded this pistachio, you are studying medicine, haven't you seen it? ”

Shuyun scratched her head embarrassedly. Said "Hehe, I really didn't pay attention. ”

"You. It's just a Ma Daha, how can you not be serious about learning. Lao Kang put on a posture of following the path.

Now Shuyun is depressed to death. In fact, what Shuyun wanted to say was not this at all, but when she saw Lao Kang's proud look, she wanted to coax him. I didn't expect this Lao Kang to be energetic. Shuyun felt that the feudal society was really not easy to mix, especially the people around the emperor. If he was a minister under Kangxi, he might be a courtier.

Shuyun coughed, ready to change the topic, he couldn't let Lao Kang bombard himself so endlessly. So he said, "I'm from Persia, oh, now that place is called Arabia." Collected seeds. Then I planted a few on the edge of the hot spring pool, but I didn't expect it to come to fruition. This is the freshly harvested fruit. Shuyun pointed to the pistachios on the table.

Then he continued, "When I first ate it, I thought it was delicious. The Arabs also used it to make sugar, make pastries, sweets, preserves and other foods, and also to squeeze high-grade cooking oil. Its wood has a smooth grain and a hard texture that is resistant to bending. Resistant to pressure, it is more beautiful in color and lustre, and is often used by locals to make high-end furniture and carved joinery. Later, I also discovered that this pistachio has high medicinal value. It is curative for diseases of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and the juice of its leaves can cure dampness and itching. Exocarp can also treat skin diseases and injuries to stop bleeding.

Moreover, pistachio is highly adaptable and can be used in dry land and semi-desert land. Afforestation on hillsides is also a greening tree species in the city. It is widely cultivated in many Arab countries. Even the roads of the city are planted quite a bit. It can be said that the pistachio raised many people there. Through more than a year of planting and research, I found that it is drought resistant. Heat-resistant, light-loving. The average temperature of the growing season is required to be 24~26 °C, which can withstand high temperatures of 40 °C in summer and short-term -30 °C cold in winter. Therefore, I think it is also a suitable crop for growing in the Loess Plateau. ”

Kangxi nodded and said, "Well, you can give it a try." ”

Shuyun said, "Let's plant a small amount there first and see how it goes." If it is appropriate, wait for two years and have experience before promoting it. And I've been experimenting with a variety of other crops in the hope of finding more varieties that are suitable for growing there. Maybe in 10 or 20 years, that barren land will become extremely rich. ”

Kangxi also longed for this, and said with a smile, "I hope so." But don't worry too much. ”

"No, in fact, most of the things are done by the people you sent, I'm just talking."

Lao Kang shook his head, "Hehe, you don't have anything to do now, let's settle it." ”

The two hugged each other and slept without saying a word all night.

Kangxi got up early the next morning and drove back to the palace. Shuyun brought him a lot of crabs, green shrimp, candy and white jade paste. And made a special explanation, "Xuan Ye, I was in a hurry last time, so I only brought a small bag of candy to the Empress Dowager and her old man, I specially prepared a lot this time, you can bring it back and let everyone taste it." There is also this white jade paste, which must not be used by pregnant women, it will lead to miscarriage. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Kangxi sent someone to send the title deed of 50 dumps of land, and there were two barren mountains with hot springs. are all connected with Shuyun's Zhuangzi. The above genus is also the name of Shuyun. In addition, 20 craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were sent to help Shuyun build the house.

Subsequently, Shuyun summoned Chen Ce, Tom and Qian Afu to a meeting. After introducing the matter to them.

Shuyun said to Chen Ce, "Big brother, you will be responsible for building the house, and then I will bring you the drawings." Big brother, you have to pay special attention to whether these 20 craftsmen have any other skills besides building houses. How everyone's character and family situation are, you will record them in detail when the time comes. ”

Then he turned his head to Qian Afu and said, "Afu, the matter of collecting refugees and orphans will be left to you." You've also come from that very difficult time, and you must be able to empathize with what happened to them, so I'm going to leave this matter to you, and I'm sure you'll be able to do it well. But I don't want those treacherous people, everything else is fine, try to be loyal and honest, and it's best to have a skill. When you meet those orphans, no matter how big they are, try to take in those who can take them in, it's not easy. ”

sent Chen Ce and Qian Afu away. Shuyun said to Tom, who was eager and waiting for Shuyun to assign him a task, "Tom, don't deliberately be angry with the emperor in the future, you know, he is different from those kings in Europe, he controls the fate of everyone in this huge empire." You may have heard the old saying - a companion is like a tiger, and I believe you can understand the meaning of the words. That year, the imperial court condemned John Tang and Nan Huairen, etc., and expelled the missionaries, I believe you still remember it vividly. Now that we've finally gotten back together, I don't want to be separated from you again. I don't want to see you in an accident. ”

Tom glanced at Shuyun deeply, and said like a dream, "Don't worry, it won't be in the future." I'm the same, I don't want to be separated from you anymore. ”

Then he looked at Shuyun again and again, and then asked, "Yunyun, I still don't understand, you love freedom so much and yearn for plainness." But now for what he wants to marry the emperor, he binds himself to this small world. Although you have answered this question, I still can't figure it out. ”

Shuyun looked out through the window, and between the square inches, the eyes were full of emerald green, red, white, yellow, or pink flowers shuttling through. A quaint Japanese well is dotted around. Next to each other are two vines full of fuchsia fruits. Under the tall persimmon tree, a dark red rocking chair lies lonely. Occasionally, there were a few sounds of insects and birds. The courtyard is more warm and elegant. But no matter what, it can't erase the fact that it's small.

Looking at such a small world, Shuyun said leisurely, "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world, I just want more people to live happily and with dignity." ”

Tom felt that Sook-yun's voice was very erratic, as if it were coming from the sky. Tom didn't speak, although he had been immersed in Han culture for many years, and he knew the literal meaning of the phrase "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world", but he still didn't quite understand what this "world" was about Shuyun. But he could feel the heaviness of Shuyun's mood at this time. So he accompanied Shuyun silently and pondered.

It took a long time for Sook-yun to turn around and smile brightly at Tom, and that smile was full of sunlight. "It's a beautiful country, and I want it to be even more beautiful. If I can't do it in this life, then "Shuyun pointed to his stomach" and they can continue. "And you must support me."

Tom smiled and nodded, and touched Shuyun's head as dotingly as before. ~I will always support you, past, present, and future. I will stand behind you in the future and never leave. ~

Then, Shuyun took out a few more things, put them on the table, and showed and explained them to Tom one by one. "Tom has a few things I need you to copy, this is a compass, I'm sure you're not a stranger."

Tom picked up the army's green compass and played with it twice in his hand, and said, "Yes, I have one too, but it's just not as delicate and beautiful as this one." But it's not hard to do something similar to this one. ”

Shuyun nodded, and then pointed to the next one, "This is called a sextant, an optical instrument used to measure the angle between two distant targets." For offshore positioning. The starting position of the zero degree meridian is set at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. ”

"You also know this, telescope, but this one is binocular and has one more tube than the current ones, and it's not difficult. However, when doing this, the magnification is as large as possible. ”

"At the end of the day, there are two shipbuilding drawings." Shuyun said as she spread out the thick drawings, "You copy them and see if there are any things that need to be improved." That's all there is to it, no problem, right? ”

Tom shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a small thing. ”

"It has to be fast."
