"Castor?"

Feng Tingshi involuntarily got up, walked up to Hua Yan, and took the beautiful looking seeds from her hands.

Then hold it up in front of your eyes and look closely.

Oval-shaped, hard, shiny surface with black, white, brown and other markings.

"It's really a castor!"

Feng Tingshi said with nostalgia.

This time it was Hua Yan's turn to be shocked:

"What hemp? Do you know it's hemp? ”

Feng Yong threw away the castor seed in his hand, and glanced at the young master of the flower who wanted to show off in front of him:

"Ben Hou knows a lot of things."

"What's the spirit?" Hua Fei muttered unconvinced, "We call it grass hemp, it's not the hemp you said." ”

Guan Ji also followed, grabbed a few castor beans from the box, and asked curiously:

"This is a hemp seed? It looks like a bird's egg. How come the concubine has never been seen? ”

When she saw it, she immediately came to her senses:

"Madam, this grass and hemp is something from the Panyue Kingdom, I heard that it came from the side of the body poison, I have inquired, our big man does not have it......"

She squeaked, but Feng Yong was confused.

"Where is this Yue country?"

"Well, Panyue Country is the southwest side of Ailao Mountain......"

"Ailao Mountain? You also call it Ailao Mountain? Feng Yong was really surprised, "At this time, it's called Ailao Mountain?" I thought ......"

Halfway through, he paused again.

However, Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong strangely:

"During the Yongping period of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Maung, the king of Ailao, sent his son to lead the people to belong to him, and his country was seven thousand miles southwest of Luoyang."

Speaking of this, Guan Ji paused slightly, as if she was recalling something.

"The concubine remembers that her country is not small, and it seems that when the king of mourning was attached, there were more than 70 people in the country, with more than 50,000 households and more than 550,000 Dingkou."

"Emperor Xiaoming first placed two counties of Ailao and Bonan with his land, and then divided six counties of Yizhou into Yongchang County. In the place where the country of Ailao is located, there is a big mountain, which is called Ailao Mountain. ”

Awesome!

Dahan is really awesome!

Feng Tingshi sighed heartily.

If memory serves, the current Yongchang County actually includes a part of Myanmar in later generations.

"How did you know so clearly?"

Guan Ji glanced at Hua Wei and said a little vaguely:

"Didn't you go to Nanzhong back then? The concubine naturally wanted to find out about it. ”

Husband and wife are in the same heart.

Feng Yong also glanced at Hua Ji and understood what Guan Ji meant.

When Prime Minister Ping Nanzhong, his brother-in-law was a pioneer, and then he also went south later, Guan Ji probably because he was worried about his brother-in-law and himself, so he deliberately went to learn about the history of Nanzhong.

is worthy of being General Guan Da who led the army to win the battle.

Before facing the enemy, try to understand the enemy as much as possible, and do not fight unprepared battles.

Which one is like himself, holding a few jars of wine, and just recklessly......

It's just that the topic of Ping Nanzhong is always not easy to mention too obviously in front of Hua Yan, so Guan Ji was vague.

Feng Yong tried to correspond the geography of this time with the world map he knew:

So should Panyue be Bangladesh or even the northeast of India?

Then he nodded: "I see." ”

"Ah Lang seems to have heard of Ailao Mountain, but he doesn't know it." Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong a little, with some doubts in his eyes, "Then why do you know about this thing?" ”

As she spoke, she held up the castor beans in her hand.

"Oh, someone from Shimen once brought this thing back to Shimen." Feng Tingshi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he replied without changing his face, "I heard that it was obtained by crossing Ailao Mountain." ”

"It's just that this kind of miscellaneous news is too fragmentary, and I have heard it occasionally, so I didn't take it to heart, and I also said that Ailao Mountain is the name taken by the people in the sect......"

As he spoke, he smiled a little embarrassedly, just right to show his ignorance of his loneliness.

"Oh? So can Ah Lang know the purpose of his things? ”

General Guan has always admired her own Ah Lang's master, because the longer she gets along with her own Ah Lang, the more she feels that Ah Lang's master is really all-encompassing and unfathomable.

"You can squeeze oil."

Feng Yong played with the castor beans in his hand and said casually, "There is a lot of oil in this seed. ”

"Oil?" Guan Ji's eyes lit up, "The kind of stir-fry?" ”

Oil is a good thing!

Looking at her, she wanted to put the castor beans in her hand in her mouth and take a bite, Feng Tingshi was almost scared away.

slapped off the things in Guan Ji's hand with lightning speed, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Can't eat it, it's poisonous!" ”

General Guan didn't expect Feng Tingshi to react so much, and he was frightened on the spot.

Seeing the castor beans "crackling" and falling to the ground, Feng Yong hurriedly bent down, and at the same time instructed the subordinates who were serving beside him:

"Quick, pick them all up, don't miss a single one!"

There are also two babies at home who can run around, in case one of them falls in the corner and is picked up and eaten by them, it is really too late to cry.

Seeing Feng Yong's face change drastically as if he was facing a great enemy, Guan Ji hurriedly squatted down to help find the fallen castor beans.

There were only a few in Guan Ji's hand, but they were found at once, and they counted them carefully, and indeed they were all missing, Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Ji asked cautiously: "This thing, poisonous?" ”

Only then did Hua Fu react, and nodded hurriedly on the side: "Yes, yes, yes, poisonous." ”

Feng Yong threw the castor beans back into the box: "Not only is it poisonous, but it is also very toxic." Children eat two or three, adults eat six or seven, and there is almost no help. ”

At this moment, Guan Ji and Hua Yan really believed that Feng Yong knew this thing very well.

But seeing that he said with some embarrassment: "I have a senior brother who almost died after eating one." ”

When I was a child in my previous life, whether it was in front of the house or behind the house, or in the ditches and ridges, and even in the broken walls, I could often see wild castor beans in twos and threes.

In the eyes of rural people, this thing is actually similar to a weed, which can grow anywhere, and its vitality is extremely tenacious.

Rural children all know one thing, that is, the fruit in the wild, only when adults say they can eat it, then they can be put in their mouths.

If you haven't said it, you can't touch it.

Once, five or six-year-old Feng Yong and a few friends went to the wild to dig out birds' nests to play.

There will be a few bold children in the village, commonly known as the child king.

Feng Yong's group of friends, the child king is an eight- or nine-year-old bear child, and it may have been that the rebellious period had arrived early, or it could be to show his bravery.

When everyone was playing in the field, they saw the child king picking the castor seeds not far away in public, peeling off the thorny shell with his bare hands, and he was not afraid of pain at all.

attracted the admiring eyes of the friends.

So the guy floated, put the peeled castor seed in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it......

The results can be imagined.

In the end, his father and several uncles took turns carrying him on their backs, stepping on hot wheels, and ran towards the hospital.

His mother, with a handful of snot and tears, followed behind......

Fortunately, Feng Yong's village is not in a ravine, and there is even a national highway that extends to the edge of the village.

At the end of the national highway, there is a hospital, which belongs to the resident hospital.

It was Feng Yong who searched on the Baidu map many years later and couldn't find the kind of hospital marked.

Ten miles from the village, there was a troop stationed.

When he slept at night, Feng Yong often heard the rumbling sound of cannons coming from there.

Sometimes I go to school, and if I'm lucky, I can walk along with the field training troops.

I remember the deepest time, it was the kind of weather where there was a downpour, lightning and thunder, and no one could be seen more than ten meters away.

A captain, who was soaked all over his body, knocked on the window of Feng Yong's house, took out a wet map, and asked Feng Yong's mother for directions loudly.

Looking out of the window, in the hazy rain, a team was silently walking down the muddy road.

Anyway, Feng Yong felt very awesome.

Then when I grew up, I also ran to experience the romance of a handful.

It's far away, or the bear kid who eats castor beans.

Later, of course, it was rescued, but afterwards I heard from the people in the village, and the doctor said that it was delivered in time and did not eat much, otherwise the person would be gone.

The news spread to several nearby villages, and even the school teachers heard about it.

The school also deliberately used this matter to educate the students of the school, and then a vice principal who was over half a hundred years old said with a sigh:

"Castor bean, don't look at it all over the body, but it's actually very useful."

"Don't you often read: big plane, stop for a while, please take me to Beijing!"

"This big plane, it has wheels, and the wheels will use castor oil, as well as your sewing machines and ox carts at home, and the oil used to lubricate the wheels is also castor oil."

"The ink used to print the test papers for you on weekdays also has castor oil in it......"

Recalling these things, the corners of Feng Yong's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he turned around and beckoned:

"Amei come here, oh, by the way, call Mrs. Mu San over too."

Hua Fei heard Feng Tingshi say that someone in his fellow senior brother was almost poisoned, and then saw the other party's strange smile, thinking of this person's ruthlessness, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Guan Ji didn't seem to be able to see it, and pushed him: "What are you laughing at?" Strange oozing! ”

"I remembered the use of this object in the master's school."

Feng Yong asked Amei who came over:

"I remember, didn't you say that it was too cold in Liangzhou in winter, and when you oil the big wheels, the oil would freeze?"

Amei nodded:

"Not only the big wheels, but also the water mills in Liangzhou in the future, and even the workshops, all the places where lubricating oil will be used, we must pay attention to this situation."

Feng Yong laughed, pointed to the castor beans in the box and said:

"This castor bean has a large amount of oil, so let's plant some next year and squeeze the oil to see if it will freeze. Also, you can try using castor oil to adjust the ink and see how it works. ”

"If the effect is good, then it is really a great man."

If the vice principal of the elementary school did not lie to himself, castor oil should be much stronger than the tung oil used now in terms of lubrication.

Anyone who has studied geography in high school knows that for every 100 meters in the troposphere, the temperature drops by about 0.65 degrees.

The high altitude at which the plane flies is basically below zero.

If you really use castor oil as lubricating oil, then its frost resistance is much stronger than tung oil.

As for tung oil, just extracting glycerin to prevent freezing for soldiers is a huge demand every year, not to mention waterproof and rustproof weapons.

With castor, it can be regarded as making up for part of the gap.

Moreover, castor, like tung oil, is something that can grow in the wild, without special service, does not occupy farmland, does not consume labor, and grows with planting.

It's simply born for the big men who lack the population.

With Liangzhou and Longyou, as well as the maturity of large-scale livestock breeding technology and captive breeding technology, coupled with the paving of cement No. 1, Dahan's transportation capacity will go to a new level.

There will be more and more large-capacity four-wheeled vehicles.

There are also schools everywhere, and the demand for ink will also increase.

It is clear that the tung oil produced in Nanzhong alone will not be able to meet the future demand.

Castor beans are planted and harvested in the same year, and it is much more convenient to plant than tung oil.

At this moment, Li Mu also arrived and saluted Feng Yong and Guan Ji:

"Man, you call me?"

Feng Yong nodded and said to her:

"This is castor bean, also called grass hemp, similar to the hemp used in the Han Dynasty, and when spring begins next year, I will let people try planting in Hanzhong and Nanzhong."

"When the time comes, you should pay attention to this matter, and see if the things you grow can be woven into linen cloth to make clothes."

Li Mu glanced at the castor beans in the box, and there was curiosity in his eyes.

However, she was able to suppress her curiosity very well, and unlike General Guan, who planned to test the poison herself, she quickly responded.

He specially reminded Ah Mei and Li Mu again, and asked them to pay attention to the toxicity of castor.

Then he pouted at the flower: "What's next?" ”

Although she was a little worried about King Feng's character, she really had to be convinced by Young Master Hua's knowledge and methods of this person.

This grass and linen is indeed used to weave linen cloth in the country of Panyue.

Although it is much rougher than the hemp silk of the big man, it is better not to pick the ground, no one to worry about it, and it can grow if it is thrown in the field.

Unlike the big man who grows hemp, he also needs farmers to serve in the field.

Although over the years, the life of the people of Nanzhong has been better.

However, there is no way to change the situation of few flat land in Nanzhong, and it is not easy to grow grain, let alone grow hemp and weave cloth.

Even in the plantations of each family, there are many people working in the fields shirtless in the summer.

In winter, it is not uncommon for families to wear the same clothes on a regular basis.

If King Feng Ghost really has a way to spread it in Nanzhong, so that the people of Nanzhong who are not clothed can wear clothes, it will really be a great merit.

Hua Fei opened the second box with some complicated emotions and took out a white cloth that was more than a foot long.

Before she could speak, Feng Tingshi rushed to the box, pushed her away, and took out a handful of white velvet from it.

His eyes widened, and he almost shoved it in his eyes.

Then, under the horrified eyes of everyone, he sniffed with his nose, and even leaned his mouth over, bit down a little, and savored it......

Feng ...... Junhou, this, this can't be eaten......"

Flower Stammered as she reminded.

Guan Ji listened to Hua Yan's words, his face changed greatly, and he rushed forward with an arrow and slapped the things in Feng Tingshi's hand.

Then he grabbed Feng Tingshi's chin with one hand, and pulled it into his mouth with the other.

At the same time, his voice changed so nervously that his fingers slid around Feng Yong's mouth:

"Where's the thing? What about things? Did you eat it? ”

Feng Tingshi rolled his eyes: "Ahh......h

"Don't move, quick, spit out!"

Feng Tingshi desperately snapped the general's hand, let his head regain his freedom, and then "Bah, Bah" a few times, glaring at this suddenly crazy mother-in-law:

"What are you doing?"

"You can't eat this thing, what are you doing?" Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong anxiously, "Do you feel unwell?" ”

"I don't know if I can eat it?" Feng Tingshi stretched out his hand and pulled out a few white threads from his mouth, and spat a few more mouthfuls of saliva.

That's right, although it is a little different from the cotton of later generations, but this color, this touch, this feeling, is cotton is right.

"This thing can't be eaten, but it's not poisonous."

"Not poisonous?"

"Of course it's not poisonous."

Guan Ji looked at Hua Yan.

Hua Fei nodded: "It's really not poisonous." ”

General Guan knew that he had overreacted, and he was immediately a little embarrassed.

"This is cotton?"

"It's a white stack."

"It's also called cotton."

"I haven't heard of it."

"Now that you've heard it, it's called cotton."

Feng Tingshi picked up the cotton in the box with one hand and smirked.

With wool, cotton, and glycerin, Lao Tzu is still afraid of an egg in winter?

Xiaoice River?

What about Xiaoice River?

You can't go north over the Great Wall in winter, can't you go east?

The garrison lives in Yanze, the garrison is in Noze, the garrison is Hetao, the Han Jiuyuan is restored, and Dingxiang is all about it!

Not to mention that with cotton, bandaging wounds and stopping bleeding in the army, and even surgery, then there are the best new materials.
