Chapter 685: Counting the Harvest

The situation of the warrior really scared Sun Xiangfu, in history, didn't he die this year.

Now, he is very sure that Wu Shitong has high blood pressure, because in later generations, Sun Xiangfu's grandparents all have high blood pressure symptoms, and sometimes they forget to take blood pressure medicine, and they often have this symptom, and their heartbeat is very fast, fortunately, he didn't really fall down just now, otherwise, if he falls, he may never get up again.

"You slowly, you slowly, not as exaggerated as I said······"

As soon as Sun Xiangfu helped Wu Shi Tong, he signaled Zhang Ke to help, helped him to the stool he was sitting on when he registered just now, let him sit down slowly to rest, and asked people to call the medical officer over.

"Don't worry, I'm an old problem, I often make mistakes, just take a break." After resting for a while, the warrior felt that his body was not so uncomfortable, so he calmed everyone.

As the chairman of the Overseas Exploration and Investment Company, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the introduction of these new species, he fell ill at this time, but it swept everyone's interest.

"Physical matters, you can't be careless." Sun Xiangfu saw that Wu Shi Tong didn't care, so he knew that he didn't know the severity of this disease, if it was a stroke, hemiplegia, or severe, he might see Hades at any time, but at this time, he couldn't continue to scare him, so he could say it more tactfully.

In later generations, hypertension is a very common disease for the elderly in China, Sun Xiangfu's grandparents have such a disease, usually, in addition to taking antihypertensive drugs, they often use prunella, chrysanthemum, kudzu, cassia and other traditional Chinese medicine to make chicken soup, pork rib soup to drink, has a certain effect of dispelling wind and lowering blood pressure.

After the medical officer came, the direction of the diagnosis was the same as Sun Xiangfu's conclusion, the disease of stroke hemiplegia is not uncommon in this era, Sun Simiao has a complete set of treatment plans, that is, with Prunella vulgaris and other drugs that have the effect of dispelling wind and lowering blood pressure, the prepared decoction, if the medicine does not stop, the general patient can play some role.

When he saw the things that the Mayan porters carried off the boat one after another, Sun Xiangfu thought of some of the doctor's advice when he accompanied his grandparents to see a doctor for an examination, and pointed to the corn road that the porters brought up, "Na Na Na, usually eat more of this coarse grain crop, it is good for your body, this crop, called corn, like the previous potatoes, has a high starch content, and it is also a high-yield and delicious crop that can be used as a staple food." ”

The usual diet of patients with high blood pressure is suitable for eating complex sugars, for the injection of fat, there should be restrictions, and can not drink strong tea, eat spicy, high-calorie food, the sea fish produced along the coast, it is very suitable for samurai Tong to eat, in later generations, the Japanese people almost as a staple food in the food, therefore, their domestic control of high blood pressure, is much stronger than our country, and the elderly are generally much longer.

Because marine fish contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can oxidize cholesterol, reduce plasma cholesterol content, inhibit thrombosis, prevent stroke, and later generations of antihypertensive drugs, fish oil is one of the main drugs, because fish oil is a vascular scavenger, and the best is deep-sea cod liver oil, which is also one of the main ingredients of high-quality antihypertensive drugs.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiangfu instructed Zhang Ke and them to buy more deep-sea fish in the market, so that the fishermen could make long nets and catch deep-sea fish for the samurai to eat, and specially extract fish oil and cod liver oil.

"Teacher, if this deep-sea fish is also the main medicine for curing diseases, then my Lingnan sea fish has a lot of output, can it be made into an industry?" Li Tai on the side saw the whole process, and also heard Sun Xiangfu's explanation to Zhang Ke, and suddenly had an idea.

"That's a good idea, and, look at what it is, sisal." Sun Xiangfu pointed to the sisal seeds that had just been carried down in the boat and the frames.

"What's wrong with sisal?" Li Tai looked at the big plant that he had never seen before.

"The ropes and fishing nets made of sisal are very tough and resistant to salinity and alkali corrosion, after this kind of crop species comes out, even if we make a large fishing net to catch deep-sea fish, we are not worried about being like the previous hemp rope net, which is easy to rot and break, and with such a large net that can be used all year round, our fishing efficiency may be many times higher."

"Well, yes, we got a sisal net in the area, and it didn't rot for months on the boat." Zhao He answered at the right time.

"In this case, we will have to grow more crops like this in Lingnan." When Li Tai heard this, he was a little happy.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, there are many kinds of crops, this is only one of its small effects, I have previously selected several sunny slopes, and in the future, more unknowns will be selected, such crops, even if they are planted millions of acres, it is not too much." ”

Coarse grain crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn can greatly alleviate the pressure of the people of Datang who are getting fatter and fatter.

And it just so happens that sisal can promote the progress of coastal fisheries, catch more marine fish, refine fish oil, or cod liver oil, and make it into cheaper blood pressure medicine, which can relieve a lot of pressure on the sick people and the imperial finances.

"In this way, the old man can live a few more years." Samurai Tong listened to the conversation between the two and said with a relaxed heart.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "I will ask Shanyang Pharmaceutical Factory to develop a Chinese patent medicine that can lower blood pressure as soon as possible, which is convenient for you to take, but when you are usually active, you also have to walk slowly, don't fall, within one meter of your side, it is better to be guarded by two people with flexible reactions." ”

High blood pressure, the most afraid of wrestling, Sun Xiangfu explained this, Wu Shitong's entourage listened to it in his heart, and at this time, Feng An, who was also not young, did not escape Sun Xiangfu's advice, because high blood pressure is a disease that most elderly people will suffer from, Feng Zhiji, Feng Zhiyu and others listened, and immediately protected Feng Ang left and right.

"Okay, okay, old man, I haven't eaten sea fish for nothing all these years, you two don't be nervous, the old man likes to listen to Zhengming talk about the role of these new species, hurry up, what is this, it's weird and good-looking."

Several tomatoes were carried down in the clay pot, and Sun Xiangfu saw that the fruits were already red, so he picked one down, wiped it on his body, took a bite, and said while chewing, "This crop, I named it tomato, sweet and sour, can be eaten as a fruit or a vegetable, very refreshing." ”

Sun Xiangfu is not a hungry foodie, he is so anxious to taste it, just because he misses the taste that can only be enjoyed in later generations, seeing him eat directly, Feng An's hand is not slow, on one of the plants, he picked the largest one and picked it off, also wiped it on his clothes, and bit it when he opened his mouth.

"Well, it's really, juicy, sweet and sour, very delicious." Seeing Feng Ang nodding his head again and again, Li Tai couldn't help it, and stepped forward to pick one, and then, Feng Zhiji, Feng Zhiyu······

These top high-ranking officials, under the leadership of Sun Xiangfu, nibbled on the dock with no image.

"That, pick one for the old man to taste."

The samurai, who was resting on a stool, watched everyone eat energetically, and said weakly, however, everyone realized at this time that the fruits of the few tomato plants carried down from the ship had been picked.

"Well, we're not going to eat all the seeds!" The last one got the tomatoes, and Zhang Ke, who hadn't finished eating yet, scratched his scalp and said.

"Haha, of course not, what you eat, in fact, I planted it on the ship, and there are also other ships, and I have kept the seeds a long time ago." Zhao He smiled proudly.

"Then why don't you hurry up and go to other ships to pick one up for Wu Shangshu." Sun Xiangfu patted the back of his head and said.

Suddenly, everyone on the dock burst into laughter.

Eat tomatoes, count and harvest continues, every crop, as long as Sun Xiangfu knows, will tell you about it, like sunflowers, which are suitable for planting crops in the northern grasslands, he will also specially classify them, and later transport them to the north and hand them over to Sun Deshou for cultivation and planting.

Although there are many kinds of crops brought back, but there are few that he doesn't know, in later generations, all kinds of crops with economic value have been studied by human beings, but, because most of the crops in this era, there are not as scientific variants as later generations, in terms of form, there are still some differences, to understand these things, is the next work of Sun Xiangfu and the children of the farmer, the workload, may be very huge, because, Zhao He almost brought back all the seeds that he thought could be used as crops, there are nearly 100 kinds, Among them, fruits account for twenty or thirty species.

"Is this a cat, or a leopard?" After the seeds were finally counted, it was the turn of the cages containing the animals to go ashore, and seeing some beasts in the cages that were larger than the bobcats in Lingnan, Feng Ang asked with interest.

Sun Xiangfu was not sure, so he looked at Zhao Long and Zhao He on the side.

"This is a leopard cub, almost half a year old, his parents, the size is not much worse than our tigers, the fur is very beautiful, but it bit one of our brothers, and then they were rounded up and hunted by us, we found this litter of little guys, it was two palms at the time, and now it has grown several times, it is not honest in the cage, if it weren't for the materials specially prepared to build the cage on our ship, I'm afraid we won't be able to trap them."

"Jaguar? It's an incredible beast. Sun Xiangfu looked at these guys whose spots were about to grow into shape, and suddenly exclaimed.

The jaguar, with the swiftness of a leopard, has the size and strength of a tiger, vision, smell, hearing, is very sensitive, known as the all-round champion, and has a very strong hunting ability.

"A leopard the size of a tiger? Then you have to leave a pair in my Lingnan, there are many people here who know how to tame beasts, if you can train some obedient ones and hunt, it will be twice the result with half the effort. ”

In the tropical rainforest area, the land is vast and sparsely populated, which may lead to the situation that there are more beasts than people, and the current territory of Lingnan Province, including the four and a half provinces in the south of the later world, plus the whole territory of Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and part of Laos and Myanmar, is more than twice as large as in history, but the total population is only 1.5 million, whether it is crops or residents, they are often plagued or threatened by wild beasts. It's all hundreds, even thousands, not to mention those that haven't been reported.

In terms of the existing ecological environment, the number of carnivores living in this area may be more than humans, because the territory is too large, and most of them belong to dense primitive deep forest areas.

People, on the other hand, only live in some sparsely distributed cities, and less than one-tenth of the territory has been developed, and more than ninety percent of the territory is a paradise for wild beasts.

Therefore, under the rule of Lingnan, even in the current environment of food and clothing, it is necessary to organize large-scale hunting operations every year to drive wild beasts to areas far away from human life.

"Hehe, there seem to be eight leopards in this! Just send a pair to Chang'an, and the remaining six will stay here! They may prefer the southern rainforest climate, but the half-year-old leopard is not so easy to tame, and when their cubs come down, it may be more suitable for training, but it will take two or three years. Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.

When the jaguar reaches the age of one and a half, the body is considered to be long, and it begins to hunt alone, and after two or three years old, it will begin to estrus, and they are transported to Chang'an, just to give everyone one more rare species to watch, if it is tamed in Lingnan, it can play a practical role, because his size and ferocity are only slightly weaker than the tiger, but the reproductive ability is much stronger than the tiger.

Previously, there were many tamed tigers in Lingnan, but it was always difficult to expand their breeding scale, because all tiger species in Southeast Asia, including South China tigers, usually only have two or three cubs per litter, and when they are very lucky, it is possible to give birth to four cubs, which is basically the same as giving birth to twins, and the probability is not large.

But the jaguar is different in that it can give birth to up to fourteen cubs in a litter, usually six to eight or more, more than three times the reproductive capacity of a tiger.

Moreover, its hunting enthusiasm is higher than that of tigers, but the amount of food is slightly smaller than that of tigers, from deserts to rainforests, from plains to plateaus, no matter where it goes, it can survive, so it is called the most successful hunter in later generations, and the most perfect carnivore.

Lingnan has the best breed of leopard, and once it is domesticated and scaled, then the flood of wild animals in the jurisdiction can be better controlled.

However, these little leopards don't have the spicy eyes of the big guys who came on the field next.

The largest snake in the world.

I saw that on a springboard, more than a dozen people were divided into two columns, carrying a large long cage and slowly walked down, not that the long cage is good-looking, but that it is not possible to use this kind of long cage! If it is rolled up and the weight is concentrated into a lump, the cage will not be easy to lift, because this forest python that is more than eight meters long has a weight of more than 400 catties, and it can not be lifted by two or three people.
