Wang Yan replied, "I think the Tanguts will fight back, and they will be faster than expected. Because wolf nature does not change casually, there are only two explanations when wolves do not bite: one is that the hunter is too strong, and the other is that the wolf needs to lick the wound and wait for the opportunity when it is injured. This is the time of these two years of recuperation, the declaration of war in Guangnan by Han's braincase, and the deployment of Wang Gongchen and me in the Bohai Sea. ”

After really hearing Wang Yan say this in person, and almost everything he said in the past has been fulfilled, so Zhao Zongshi, who is a prisoner of the country and personally participated in the declaration of war in Guangnan with an upstart mentality, is also very worried about this now.

But human nature determines that after a gambler places a bet, before the opening of the market, he actually doesn't like to hear people say "you will lose", but he always suffers from gains and losses to lie to himself and wants to listen to more good words.

Therefore, it was also decided that hearing the Great Demon King's denial of the declaration of war on Jiaozhi made Zhao Zongshi frown and was more unhappy.

Fortunately, while the Great Demon King denied Han Qi's declaration of war on Jiaozhi, it seemed to be equivalent to admitting that his declaration of war on the Jurchens in Bohai was also a negative policy.

Zhao Ji didn't know his father's thoughts, and asked curiously: "Ask Xianggong again, if there is a day when the Northwest Wolf counterattacks in the future, will you go into battle again and go to the border to fight for the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Not anymore." Wang Yan shook his head decisively.

Zhao Ji said sadly: "Why? Is it true that the rumors that you have been ostracized and that your time has passed? ”

Zhao Zongshi listened to which pot he didn't open and mentioned, and wanted to smoke this kid again.

Wang Yan said in time: "It's because I'm afraid of death, and after the difficult years of fighting the streets, I don't need to go deep into the border anymore." In the future, there will be a lot of 'frontiers', and I can't go if I want to. ”

Zhao Ji smiled again: "I heard that you are more powerful than leading the battle to do business, you are a big hit in the era of great exploration, hey, let me go ......"

After slapping the back of his son's head, Zhao Zongshi said with a black line: "Where did you hear about the stall literature, Xianggong is the god of war in the Great Song Dynasty, and he said that he was a profiteer. ”

Zhao Ji covered his head again and said unconvinced: "Your Royal Highness Father, you don't know anything about power, the concept of the Great Voyage has already begun, but you can't figure out what's going on now, I listened to my aunt and grandmother about these sons." As an agricultural magnate, she has sent ships to explore the American continent and brought back new varieties of crop seeds, which seem to be called potatoes and corn or something. ”

“？” Zhao Zongshi is really a little outdated and frightened.

Don't talk about Zhao Zongshi, even Da Yan is shocked?

Xiao Xiao Zhao refers to the aunt and grandmother of course Zhao Yunxi, as a former super landowner, now an oligarch of agricultural science and technology, in addition to serving as the Institute of Agriculture of the Royal Academy of Sciences, her industry is also a joint venture with Dayan Agricultural Industry, not specific farming, mainly to study fertilizer improved varieties, design greenhouse vegetables such technical standards.

After listening to Da Yan boast about the magic of corn and potatoes many times, as the head of the Agricultural Communications Bank, it was Da Yan who didn't have time to send a ship at the government level, and her capitalist had sent a ship from Mingzhou to explore the American continent more than a year ago, and now she has brought back what she needs and become her "black technology food"?

I have to sigh that this is the urine and effectiveness of capital.

"Did she really get the corn and potato seeds?" Wang Yan asked again with confirmation.

Zhao Ji nodded and said: "My aunt and grandmother did say this to me personally, not only food, but also some other things that the Great Song Dynasty did not have, she said that she spent a lot of money and sent four top sailing ships with a displacement of 400 tons to sail to sea, one disappeared in the sea without news, one was attacked by pirates and returned to the sea, only two arrived at the so-called New World of America, and then many people died, and paid a heavy price to find the first batch of things she needed." But it's also worth it overall. ”

Zhao Zongshi said: "It's still stall literature." It's not going to war, it's just tourism and business, how can there be so many dangers? ”

Zhao Ji said: "Your Royal Highness Father, you don't understand, the sea is really dangerous, there are storms, pirates, navigation diseases, nutritional deficiencies and other formations. Let's not talk about natural disasters first, let's talk about man-made disasters first, in the past, my Song people did not dare to sail too far because of navigation diseases. In addition to the special environment of the sea, there is also a more common policy: the issue of nutrition. The compressed dehydrated feed is convenient to store and saves space, which is black technology to a certain extent, which solves the immunity of seafarers due to malnutrition. ”

continued: "In addition, my aunt's 'bean sprouts' are also known as one of the four major inventions of Han food, which really solves one of the problems of seafarers' lack of Su cuisine." ”

Wang Yan couldn't help but sweat a little after hearing this.

Indeed, the so-called bean sprouts, tofu, sauce, and gluten are known as the four major inventions of food. Not to mention the others, bean sprouts are really a nautical artifact to a certain extent, because ancient ships could not store insured vegetables, let alone grow them. However, bean sprouts can grow casually, which is basically a source of seafarers' vitamins in addition to tea.

But tea was a luxury in this era, but bean sprouts were not. It's just that although the bean sprouts came out in the Song Dynasty, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, they also existed as a secret recipe like tofu. Some people eat it, but it is generally in the secrecy stage. However, this secret was solved by the big bird, and now the bean sprouts are everywhere. It has become a low-cost standard for crews.

Of course, if it is not for the taste, there is no need to live a life, in fact, at the scientific level, the compressed military food of the big goose is the best solution, to achieve the full nutrition formula of astronauts, on the basis of pig feed, the cost increase of up to two achievements. There is no secret, adding three more dehydrations to break the feed, and increasing the proportion of fishmeal by a few percentage points, is actually the difference between Amway total nutrients and pig feed in later generations.

Pig feed is a few pieces a catty, and Amway nutrition powder is hundreds of dollars a catty. In fact, such examples are more common in the drug market, where there are many cases where drugs that cost a few cents a piece are not produced, change the packaging and change the name, slightly adjust the formula, and the efficacy is almost the same, and the price increases by a hundred times. This is a precedent for the Eagle medical market, and others follow the trend and call it a market economy.

Indian Ah San is actually not useless, their knock-off medicine is super cheap. It's hard to hear, but it's actually usable, that is, the difference between pig feed and astronaut feed.

That's a lot of.

Next, it is more advantageous that with corn, the formula of livestock feed will be more simplified, reduce the cost of production and improve feed efficiency at the same time, that is to say, Zhao Yunxi's navigation has a strategic willingness, and the total grain nutrition of the next Song Dynasty will increase at a high speed.

Hearing Xiao Xiaozhao's revelations is also good news, which makes the psychology of the big demon king at this time more stable. With the incredible energy density of potatoes and corn per acre, this will be of great benefit to the next step in freeing up farmers and mobilizing them to deal with the darkest moments.

God bless the Great Song Dynasty, I hope that in another two years, the immortal golden body of the Great Song Dynasty will basically be tempered and formed......

The next day the sun was shining, but the Great Demon King was conflicted in his heart, and he wasn't quite sure what his behavior was now?

In short, even if it is half cool, it is involved in the wind and waves, that is, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop. At this time, Empress Cao summoned Wang Yan.

Since the last time it succeeded in predicting the great flood with the theory of yin and yang, the Tongtian Sect has become even more awesome. Originally, there were many Taoist priests walking in the imperial city, and now there are even more Taoist priests to see.

But not unified, they are divided into two factions. Zhao Zhen never bought the account of the Heavenly Sect, and only trusted the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain, so the disciples of the twenty-eighth Heavenly Master Sect leader Yu Chu mainly concentrated in the Shangqing Palace, and continued to pretend to be a god and ghost to protect the large "shield", claiming to defy the destiny of heaven and protect the emperor's spirit.

As for the Tongtian Sect, it was concentrated in the Empress's Renming Palace, and Lu Chunyang was personally on duty during this period. The queen mother only trusts him, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the master of the Tongtian Sect is the uncle level elder of the queen mother.

The "Uncle Cao Guo" in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea also returned to Beijing, and during this period, he was also on duty in the Empress's Renming Hall as a guard and microphone.

The current situation makes Empress Cao herself feel messy and insecure. According to the chaotic actions of the gods a while ago, the Imperial City Division basically doesn't care about the affairs of the harem and does not accept the dispatch and command of the harem.

The economy of the Great Song Dynasty was very strong, but the imperial city had the smallest history, and this was because of the existence of Bao Zheng. Therefore, this imperial center seems to be very shabby, and it will not be built until the Huizong period.

But no matter how small it is, it has all the organs. The imperial city is divided into the outer court and the inner court, the so-called Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate are the entrance, and the outer court is equivalent to the "middle 1 South China Sea" is where the office of the middle hall is located.

Wang Yan of the inner court did not have the permission to enter casually, so starting from the inner court, it was Lu Chunyang who personally led the way.

It's cold. The imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty was quite mini, and there was no special prince's palace, so a few rooms were built between the emperor's residence and the queen's residence, which was the so-called "prince's east palace". It's not a special complex, because there's really no land.

It is for these reasons that the members of the Great Song Sect are not in the imperial city, and there is no place for them to live, so they have to go outside to find their own way out. Zhao Zongshi hasn't moved in yet. Theoretically, he should have moved in to the palace, but maybe he didn't feel free, and those dilapidated houses were not as comfortable as the Duke's Mansion outside him, so he didn't move in for the time being.

It is estimated that this is the reason why Empress Cao is talking to Da Yan this time. It should be that she wants the prince to move in, and the prince wants to be free not to come in. Xiao Zhao, he is used to living at the bottom of the people.

While walking, I looked at the situation where the Taoist priests walking in the inner court and the masters of Ouchi did not want to see each other. Just like the disharmony between the Heavenly Master Dao and the Tongtian Sect, it also seems to indicate the contradiction between the "two houses".

There is no way to do this, the emperor and queen don't like each other very much, this is a contradiction that has existed for a long time, and Zhao Zhen is not angry and doesn't like to make trouble, so in the next few years, after the death of Lao Zhao, such a "contradiction between the two palaces" will continue to exist, which is manifested as the contradiction between Zhao Zongshi and Empress Dowager Cao.

In addition to the real history of the Great Song Dynasty, this is also the reality after the crossing of the Great Bird.

In the courtyard of the Renmyeongjeon Temple, the afternoon sun shone on the body. When the Great Demon King saw the queen this time, he found that she was obviously much older than the last time he saw her.

"Please be seated."

Even if it's cold, it's really a change of identity, and the official residence is ranked among the princes and princesses, even if the queen has to be called Xianggong.

Sitting down and taking a sip of tea does not mean that the Great Demon King is thirsty, but that not taking a sip of tea after it is brought means that he does not trust her and does not give her face.

After that, he didn't drink anymore, Wang Yan said directly: "Niangniang is looking for a minister, why can you say it directly?" ”

Empress Cao said: "Zhao Shu still doesn't trust the inner court, doesn't trust the palace, and refuses to move in to live in a system. Xianggong, do you think, as the crown prince and the heir of the Great Song Dynasty, after establishing his identity, is it appropriate for him to still be stationed in the people? This is not because the palace is not optimistic about the theory of Xianggong 'going deep into the grassroots'. ”

Wang Yan said: "I know Niangniang's thoughts, Guiwei is the prince in the people, and it is indeed a little inappropriate not to be under the protection of the Imperial City Division. ”

Empress Cao immediately nodded: "What the Xianggong said is that this is exactly what the palace meant. ”

However, Da Yan glanced at the Taoist priest in the Renming Hall as if he had a point, and said with a strange expression: "But the atmosphere between the two palaces continues to be wrong, Niangniang knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been cautious, and his personality is weak, in this climate, the ministers do not want to come." ”

Empress Cao wanted to say something, but Da Yan interrupted in advance: "There is no trust or distrust in this, but a fait accompli situation, and others will definitely have ideas in their eyes, this is human nature." ”

Empress Cao was slightly dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything more.

The big demon king was tough even when he was a child, and when he was caught by the Bianhe River, he dared to fight with the queen of the world. What's more, now that his feathers are abundant, and the aura of a leader has been formed.

After thinking about it for a moment, Empress Cao could only nod: "This ...... As Xianggong said, even the palace felt that the atmosphere in this inner court was not very good and there was no sense of security, so it was arranged like this. ”

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Since the mother is insecure, can you still blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this?" ”

"Can't ......" Empress Cao was depressed for a while, but then said: "But Taoism is almost the state religion in my dynasty, and it is also the will of the government to allow Taoist priests to enter the inner court." ”

Wang Yan bowed and said, "The minister didn't say that the mother was inappropriate. ”

"That's good." Empress Cao nodded slightly.

"Niangniang, is there anything else?" Wang Yan said again.

Such a farewell speech means that the Great Demon King doesn't want to care about the question of where the prince lives, which makes Queen Cao very depressed and hesitant to say what to say?
