Chapter 269
If Yang Hao is here, he will not be unfamiliar with the green and white, green onions are a must-have thing in the kitchen in later generations, especially this simple version of boiled meat and stewed cabbage, put some green onions to taste, although the taste is much worse than the rich dishes in later generations, but it is indeed a top delicacy in today's era.
In his previous life, Yang Hao, who was a northerner, although he didn't say that he had to have a green onion for every meal, the green onion dipping sauce was sometimes better than the rest of the delicacies.
Qi Guo now has soybeans, and there is no shortage of materials to make soybean sauce, but Yang Hao didn't bother to get these, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't, it's all because Qi Guo is too poor now.
Whether it's sake or miso, you need to consume a lot of food, and without completely solving the problem of food and clothing, getting these things to satisfy your appetite is a bit of a recipe.
Moreover, Yang Hao didn't know that there was such a thing as green onions in his own territory, if he knew, he would definitely let farmers try to plant them, after all, every extra vegetable is a supplement to the barren materials of the country.
After the meal was over, the three of them sat on the floor contentedly, and by the moonlight, several young officials began to imagine the future.
Zhang Shu listened to Zhong Geng and Yixin talk about their former lives, and he was quite emotional.
The experience of these two people is not much better than their own, they became Qi people much earlier than themselves, Zhong Geng was the first batch of displaced people received by Yang Hao after he settled in Qi City, and Yi Xin was a prisoner of war who was captured after being broken by Qi State, he originally thought that he would be a slave until he died in this life, but the sky is unpredictable, after being a prisoner for a period of time, because he only added a few battles, he actually gained freedom in a daze, and became a petty official in a daze.
The two not only learned the way of writing and arithmetic, but also improved their lives a lot.
A person who was originally extremely lowly has become an enviable and noble person, and every time they think about it, they are full of emotion, and when they think of their current life, they are full of gratitude to Qi Guo.
If they can realize Yang Hao's vision of the future of Qi Guo through their slaves, the two of them will feel that they will not live in the world.
Perhaps it is because most of the heroes of the past dynasties are doers who bow their heads and are willing to be their children, dedicated to the country and the people, and work hard for the ideal in their hearts.
For example, those heroes after the founding of the Celestial Empire, although these officials of the Qi State are as different as heaven and earth from the heroes of another time and space in terms of knowledge and ability, but they have never made much concessions in serving the country and the people.
These people know what they are working for, not to gradually degenerate like the Taitai in peacetime.
Yang Hao didn't know if his Qi State would decline from prosperity, but he didn't care about this, maybe it was the ups and downs of the dynasties in the past five thousand years that affected him, and there was no dynasty in his heart.
He only hopes that his existence can lay a solid foundation in the country's political culture before his death, and even if the Qi State is destroyed after hundreds of years, the people living in this land can have a cultural and identity identity.
Just like the Han people in later generations, a new ethnic group of Qi people may appear in this time and space, and no matter how the dynasty changes, the imprint of this identity will also be immortal.
Yang Hao thinks that his ability is so great, if he can complete what he wants in his heart, he can die without regrets.
Listening to the two of them talk about their work during this period of time, and their dedication to the country, Zhang Shu couldn't help but admire it, and secretly made up his mind that if he wanted these senior officials to make some achievements in the past two years, he would be able to have a clear conscience.
On this night, Zhang Shu spent the night in the Yamen of Angu Town, and the next day, Zhong Geng took him to choose a place to build a school in the city.
Angu Town is not large, there are more than 200 people living in the whole city, the earthy yellow grass houses are scattered on both sides of the street, and some domestic animals are in the fence yard and look blankly at the human beings hurrying by.
The environment of the town was much worse than that of Chang'an City, and Zhang Xu didn't mind it, nailing the location of the school to a vacant lot in the west of the city, and Zhong Geng sent people to let those soldiers select some people from the wild people outside the city to break ground here.
Naturally, the conditions here could not be built as comfortable as the new school in Chang'an City, and the design was only a simple wall made of mud, and two thatched huts were built in it.
The whiteboard for teaching is a relatively expensive thing, and the court of Qi can only supply the county seat and the capital, and the villages and towns can only be found by these newly arrived young gentlemen.
During his free time at the school, Zhang began to visit the surrounding area of Angu Town alone, and he wanted to know how many students he would be teaching in the future.
Chang'an City, with the gradual warming of the weather, after the first spring rain, the spring ploughing of the first year of Hongwu was vigorously launched.
In order to show his importance to farming, Yang Hao took the civil and military officials to personally help the ploughshare to cultivate a ridge of land, and slaughtered a few livestock to sacrifice to the sky, praying that the gods could bless Daqi with good weather and a good harvest in autumn this year.
Thinking of praying to the gods, for Yang Hao, it is just asking for comfort in his heart and a good wish for the future.
Whether God will be kind to himself this year, Yang Hao does not have much hope in his heart.
At the time of the start of cultivation, the construction of the embankment was still in full swing.
A large number of stones were piled up on both sides of the riverbank, and the wild men who were requisitioned were busy on both sides of the river bank like ants.
Yang Hao does not pray for God's blessing, only through manpower to build the infrastructure is the most beneficial guarantee for future food.
Because of the rapid increase in population, the area of cultivated land in the first year of Hongwu increased dozens of times, and the rapid expansion of human beings compressed the living space of wild animals.
And for the farmers who cultivate, the arrival of these beasts can also improve their food, because after the slaughter of the beasts, except for a part of the meat is confiscated, a part of it is left to become a delicacy in these people's mouths.
And there is a creature that Yang Hao prohibits to kill, that is, small cats, because Qi has completely become an agricultural country, the accumulation of food will inevitably attract those headache mice, although the hunting can also have some effect, but for this kind of small thing, human beings are really sometimes poor.
And those small cats that wandered in the wild came into Yang Hao's sight, but it was not easy for those wild cats that came out of the day and night, and until now, Qi Guo did not even have a domestic cat.
The demand for wild cats has made the value of these wild cats skyrocket, and the court of Qi has issued an official document to catch a live wild cat and reward two catties of rice, and the price of kittens has doubled on this basis.
Therefore, if farmers find a wild cat when they are cultivating their land, it is a thing that can cause a sensation.
