2. Winter

It was the first time for Mr. Lu Bi to come to Longshou Mountain Manor, and after accompanying Lu Wen in, he naturally made him curious about everything here.

Lu Wenjin was particularly curious about the fact that the people in this manor still had fresh milk to drink and eggs to eat every day in winter, and he had been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knew more about the importance of supplies in the army than others.

"There is nothing new in this, horses, cattle and sheep will have estrus in spring and autumn, as long as the breeding time is controlled." Li Qi explained to him with a smile that Lu Wenjin was one of the few generals who paid more attention to civil affairs and production, so he was ready to let Lao Lu be in charge of the future Tuntian affairs in Shanbei.

"As for the eggs, the hens don't lay eggs early in the winter."

"It's related to the temperature, just keep the chickens and ducks in the greenhouse, uh, and pay attention to lighting and hygiene."

"Oh, I know why the manor has so lavishly put glass windows on the chicken coop." Lu Wenjin said with a smile, "I heard that glass is very expensive, is this egg enough for glass windows?" ”

"It can't be counted like this, the human body needs to supplement various nutrients, and money is nothing compared to health." Li Qi said with a smile, "The glass is installed on the window and will not be damaged, I think if you raise chickens in the manor near Jinyang, the income will not be very bad in winter, there are still many rich people in Jinyang City, and the rich people enjoy some, which can be regarded as a new entry for farmers in winter." ”

Jinyang Academy recruited the second batch of students in the spring and March, and as usual, they were also organized as young pro-army.

Since he had been rescuing Dingzhou and personally conquering Hebei since late April, Li Qi had not taught much to this group of students.

However, based on the experience of the first session, Lu Bi, who served as the superintendent, and the teachers only need to follow the textbook and repeat it according to last year's curriculum, there is no big problem.

The biggest difference between Jinyang Academy and private schools is that the students spend half of their time participating in labor and practice every day, and often have to apprentice and lay hands on craftsmen in the royal workshop, and the teaching time is only half a day, and because it belongs to the establishment of the Praetorian Guard, routine military training is also carried out every day.

Even so, many nobles sharpened their heads and tried to stuff their children into it.

Just kidding, just by virtue of the names of "Son of Heaven's protΓ©gΓ©" and "Son of Heaven's pro-army", the future will definitely not be too bad.

It's a pity that the quota allocation of Jinyang Academy naturally has its own special system, and there are only three hundred places for the sons of the nobles every year, and the rest of the places are allocated to the Li family's industry and the military camps stationed in various places.

From time to time, the trainees were able to see some "magic spells" that they had never seen or heard of before, such as glass, incense, cement, and a hydraulic loom that could automatically weave cloth by themselves without manual operation.

With the arrival of winter, the first batch of young soldiers were arranged to study and practice in two hot spring manors, and the teaching of the academy gradually formed its own unique style.

The only thing that makes these teenagers feel pain is that since Yuan Ren took over the training again, the original relatively comfortable life is gone forever.

There were also a lot of carrots and onions harvested in the manor, and Li Qi personally went to the kitchen and instructed a few cooks to make a mutton pilaf.

The plump ribs of the freshly slaughtered lamb are chopped into pieces the size of a finger, stir-fried in a pan of hot oil, and frosted with sugar to adjust the color. Wait until it is three times ripe, then add cooking wine, a little peppercorn powder, cumin and vermilion and other spices, stir-fry, then add onion pieces and carrot pieces, stir-fry several times and then add an appropriate amount of salt, then add half a pot of cold water, then put in some raisins, dried melons and some chopped walnut kernels, stir well, and finally add the washed rice to the pot and steam it slowly.

The so-called gentleman is far away from cooking, Li Qi has always scoffed at this sentence.

In this era of boiling tea, he has basically lost confidence in the craftsmanship of the cooks in the Jin Palace, and only the ones he has trained by himself can meet the taste.

The pilaf was just out of the pot, and An Jinquan and Lu Bi, two old guys, came to the door one after another to report to the emperor.

There are a few old guys who are addicted to eating royal food now, and they come over with food.

The royal family of the Sui and Tang dynasties still retained many of the grassland styles left over from the Northern Dynasties, and it was normal for the Son of Heaven to have a banquet with his ministers. In the Song Dynasty, after Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, he often went to Zhao Pu's house to eat and drink, and met Zhao Pu's wife "called him a sister-in-law". On the contrary, in the Ming Dynasty, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor began to kill ministers at will, and in the Qing Dynasty, the courtiers became slaves......

Li Qi had no choice but to order someone to put the two wooden plates containing pilaf on the table of the two of them: "Come and make a repayment, the rice method of the Uighurs in the Western Regions." ”

An Jinquan picked up the chopsticks to pay for two bites, and then put a piece of pork ribs in his mouth and chewed: "Where did the Uighurs get their rice?" My family's ancestral home was in the middle of the river, and after the internal migration, there were many Uighurs among the relatives, and the old minister had never heard of this kind of food. However, it does taste good! ”

Li Qi opened his mouth and stammered, when did the Uighurs start eating pilaf?!

There should also be rice in the Western Regions, for example, the dry food carried by the Tianzhu monks should be mainly rice, and he found that although there were many loopholes in his speech, he could still come back.

In order to hide his embarrassment, he ordered the waiter to serve a small bowl of Ma Que soup in front of An Jinquan and Lu Bi: "Eat and drink, the kid thinks that his knowledge is not bad, this medicinal soup nourishes qi and blood, it is the recipe that Yan Lao Dao got from the Medicine King Gate, and it is very good for an old man like you." ”

Lu Bi stirred the milky white soup with chopsticks, "Hearing Your Majesty say this, it suddenly made the old minister lose his appetite." The old man who is known as Yan Zhenren heard that he likes to do things very much, dissecting people's corpses? ”

Li Qi smiled: "I have also seen it myself, and the structure and internal organs of the human body are not much different from pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. I think that dissection will lead to a leap forward in the development of Chinese medicine......"

This self-named Yan Zhenren Lao Dao is a famous doctor he recruited in Youzhou, in fact, he was really shocked when he learned that Yan Zhenren was secretly dissecting the corpse, and then remembered that this Yan Lao Dao was a famous person who left the first human anatomy map in the history of Chinese medicine.

Only then did I know that I had found a treasure this time! Therefore, after returning to Jinyang, regardless of whether Yan Laodao was willing or not, he insisted on opening a medical hall in Jinyang Academy, and stuffed more than 40 students as apprentices.

During the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, the government supported human autopsy, and there have been many records of the government handing over the bodies of death row prisoners to doctors for autopsy after execution.

On the contrary, it was only in the Southern Song Dynasty that after the rise of physical science, human anatomy was considered an evil thing and banned, and Chinese medicine regressed to the old path of the so-called Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory......
