Chapter 1194: Titles and Food

Fang Mingqian couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Yun Xi, but immediately lowered his head again. Yunxi's words almost turned the feudal state of King Xiang into a completely independent state, similar to a state like Joseon rather than a vassal state added by the Ming Dynasty. (The two 'fan' characters before and after are different)

However, Fang Mingqian also understood the reason why Yun Xi did this. As he himself said, the distance from the Han continent to Daming was too far. Although it was difficult for them to accurately measure the longitude, they also knew that the distance between the two places was definitely more than 20,000 li, and it would take at least a year to make a round trip.

Yun Xi didn't care what Fang Mingqian thought, but stood up, and said while stomping his steps: "It is not appropriate for his title to continue to be the king of Xiang, according to me, the place under the jurisdiction of the two cities of Jinchuan and Luojin is named Bozhou, and the king of Xiang is renamed the king of Shang." ”

"Bozhou? Shang Wang? Fang Mingqian muttered a few words to himself in a very soft voice that others could not hear.

He was talking to himself when he suddenly heard Yun Xi call his name: "Fang Mingqian." Fang Mingqian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly agreed.

"This expedition, you have made a lot of contributions, I decided to promote you to the rank of Guanglu doctor, add 500 stones, add your second daughter as the county lord, the second son as the hereditary commander, and give you thousands of hectares of land in Hanzhou."

"I have appointed you as the left minister of the Shang domain, and I am allowed to bring people from the Central Plains to the Shang domain to form the prince's mansion, regardless of the number of people."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fang Mingqian kowtowed and said. But I was not very happy in my heart. Hanzhou didn't have much land at this time, not to mention a thousand hectares, not even a hundred hectares, and they were all under Zhu Bai's control, and these thousands of hectares of land were purely empty promises.

Yun Xi looked down at Fang Mingqian's expression, and immediately knew that he didn't understand what he meant. Yes, of course, those orders Yun Xi just now had deep meanings, but unfortunately Fang Mingqian didn't understand it.

But you'll soon understand. Yun Xi said in his heart.

At this time, it was already dark, so Yun Xi said to him: "Fang Aiqing, it's getting late now, you can retreat." ”

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, you stay in the capital to celebrate the New Year with your family, and after the New Year, you will go to Hanzhou. I will tell you something at that time. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Mingqian agreed, bowed and retreated.

Yun Xi sat back in his seat, took out a pen and paper, and didn't know what he had written. It wasn't until Lu Yi walked in and whispered if he wanted to eat that he got up and went to Kunning Palace.

As he walked, he was still thinking, he was thinking, "Is it the New Year or the New Year to tell them?" Well, with the vassal kings, just reveal a little bit on the night of the New Year, and talk about it in detail after the New Year; Tong Xungui, wait until the fifteenth or sixteenth day of the first month", I heard Lu Yi whisper: "Your Majesty, Kunning Palace has arrived." ”

Yun Xi turned his head sideways and was about to give an order, when he heard a voice from the front: "Brother Huang." ”

"It's Yun Zhi, why are you still in Kunning Palace at this time today?"

"Brother Huang, what's the matter, don't you want your sister to come to the Qing Palace?" Yun Zhi said deliberately.

"How so?" Yun Xi smiled and said, "You have been with your sister-in-law and nephews in Kunning Palace, and it is too late for my brother to be happy, how can you not want to?" It's just that in the past, when you came to Kunning Palace to talk to your sister-in-law and play with your nephew, you would return to your palace before dark, how could you stay at this time today? ”

"Didn't I eat something that I had never eaten before at noon," Yun Zhi said with a smile: "That kind of red fruit and eggs are quite delicious when scrambled together, so my sister took the third sister to the imperial dining room together, and saw Wang Xi instructing the little eunuch to bring into the imperial dining room a small box containing many vegetables and fruits that he had never seen before, and also ordered the chef to cook with these vegetables and fruits, and to instruct them on how to do it." Just when her sister wanted to hear it, Wang Xi suddenly stopped talking, and asked her sister to leave the imperial dining room on the grounds that the imperial dining room was not where the princess should be. Seeing Wang Xi's movements, the younger sister understood that if the younger sister did not leave the imperial dining room, he would definitely not continue to order the chefs, so she could only pull the third sister away. ”

"The imperial brother also knows that his sister is not a greedy person, but she is very curious about new things, so she wants to stay in Kunning Palace and ask the imperial brother what those vegetables and fruits are, and whether they are delicious. So Brother Huang, what will you eat tonight? She concluded.

"You'll find out in a moment." Yun Xi smiled.

"Brother Huang, tell my sister." Yun Zhi pleaded.

"No, it's about to be eaten, why are you in such a hurry. And Min'er was also there when we had dinner together after a while. You also know that she is not less curious than you, and when she sees those foods, she will definitely ask me what I am made of, if she glimpses your expression when her brother explains, she will know that I have told you in advance, and it is okay to have a little temper tantrum at you and my brother and sister, and you don't want to be pestered by Min'er. Yun Xi said.

Yun Zhi thought about Min'er pestering her for a while, shivered all over, and suddenly said, "Then sister, let's wait for a while to eat and then listen to the imperial brother." ”

"You're Min'a's aunt, but you're afraid of her as if you're her sister." Although Yun Xi knew that Yun Zhi and Min'er didn't get along like her aunt and nephew, so she used Min'er to scare her, but she still felt very funny when she saw Yun Zhi behaving like this, and couldn't help but say.

"Can I be afraid? It is clear that Min'er is treated equally. And Min'er is only six years younger than her sister, and her sister has always treated her as a younger sister. Yun Zhi probably knew that Yun Xi would definitely use this to make fun of her, so she replied immediately. However, the roots of the ears still glowed with a faint red, but it was dark at this time.

In the evening, when everyone was having dinner together, Min'a really showed great curiosity about these novel foods, and sat down next to Yunxi and pestered him to ask what these things were and where they came from. When she heard that these novel foods came from a very distant continent in the east, she said in amazement: "Daddy, there is a continent in the east that has never been discovered before?" ”

"Yes, all this food comes from that continent. And there are not only these delicious foods on that continent, but also wild people, just like the wild people of Taiwan that your aunt told you last time she returned from Taiwan Town. Your twelfth uncle has caught a lot of savages. Yun Xi said.

"Savages? What a sin it is that those savages should have so much to eat! Uncle should punish these savages severely. Min'er waved her hand.

"You can't punish a savage for that reason." Yun Xi smiled: "If you think about it in turn, there is no Ming food, vegetables, melons and fruits in the Han Continent, such as cucumbers, carrots, eggplants, watermelons, apples, lychees, etc., and they can't even eat rice, so they are also very pitiful." ”

"Listen to what you say, Dad, it's true." Min'er thought for a while and said, "These savages are also quite pitiful, so let Uncle forgive them." ”

Yun Xi laughed a few times, and seeing that everyone had finished eating at this time, he instructed the eunuch to leave some peanuts and beans as snacks and serve all the other meals, and then suddenly said to Yun Lan: "Second sister." ”

"Brother Huang?" Yun Lan was talking to Yun Yun, when she suddenly heard Yun Xi calling her, and hurriedly turned her head to agree.

"Tomorrow Xiancai is coming to the capital, you go to the dock to meet her. Xiyi, you also go to greet you. ”

"Yes, Imperial Brother/Husband." They both agreed.

Yun Xi nodded, and was about to continue to command, Yun Lan suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Brother Huang, after my sister leaves the palace, will she have her own farmland?" ”

"It's natural." Yun Xi smiled and said, "Can my brother forget your Zhuang Tian?" ”

"Then my sister will be able to let the tenants grow these vegetables and grains from the Han continent in her own farm. My sister likes some of the food very much. Yun Lan said with a smile.

"Oh, my sister also wants to grow these vegetables and vegetables in her own farm. Brother Huang hurriedly gave his sister's Zhuangtian to his sister. Yun Zhi suddenly said.

"Your second sister is about to get married, naturally she has her own Zhuangtian, although you also have a crush, but it takes a year or two to get married, even if you give you Zhuangtian, you can't go out of the palace to take care of it. Could it be that you are in such a hurry to get married? Yun Xi smiled.

"Oh, Brother Huang!" Yun Zhi said embarrassedly: "You always make fun of your sister." My sister just thinks that sweet potatoes and other things are delicious, and wants to grow them in her own farm, especially for herself. ”

"You can't eat too many sweet potatoes." Yun Xi suddenly said: "It's not good for your health." ”

"But it's okay to eat once in a while." He said again. Sweet potatoes belong to coarse grains, eating coarse grains can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, prevent and treat diabetes, and prevent and treat high blood pressure, but coarse grains are rich in fiber, eating too much will affect the absorption of protein by human body functions, reduce physical fitness, and even affect reproductive ability. The so-called "noodles have vegetables" means that you eat too much fiber, which leads to malnutrition.

Especially for teenagers, eating too much whole grains can greatly affect physical development. In ancient China, the poor were generally short and thin, and it was for this reason that they were thin. It's not just China, only one and a half meters Napoleon's height is higher than the average height of the French at that time. It was only after the Industrial Revolution, with the development of modern technology, that everyone was able to eat fine grains as a staple food.

Traditional Chinese coarse grains are not delicious, but sweet potatoes and corn can be made delicious, and family members must be restricted from eating more.

Of course, Yun Zhi didn't know that because her words made Yun Xi think so much, she nodded and said, "My sister knows, I will eat less sweet potatoes in the future." ”

"If you want to eat, the farmland behind the palace will be divided into a part of the royal brother to grow sweet potatoes, corn and other crops." Yun Xi said again.

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Yun Zhi said happily.

"Also, Yun Lan, after you get married next year, talk to your royal brother before letting the tenants plant sweet potatoes and other crops." Yun instructed Yun Lan again.

"Yes, Brother Huang." Although Yun Lan didn't quite understand, she still agreed.
