Chapter 46: Oranges and Sepsis

Cao Xing's fake battalion has a class of 108 people, and they are arranged in the order of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, kindness, frugality, loyalty, filial piety, bravery, and honesty, and have been recruited to the "Wen" class.

Cao Xing, who is a stepfather every time he graduates, will be present in person and give a table to every graduate from the class who is about to leave the dummy camp and officially enter the society.

The first word of the table word is based on the class name, and the top five will be ranked according to the results, and the class name will be given as an honor, and the fifth place will only be the class name and other words.

The ranking is based on Uncle Ji You.

For example, Cao Ou, who ranks first in the ability of the "benevolence" class, Cao Jiu, who ranks second, and Cao Yuan, who ranks sixth, cannot come according to the ranking, but the word Renzai.

There were thirty-six and a half sons around Cao Xing all of a sudden, and the entire coach camp looked a lot more lively.

After crossing the Huai River, there is one more kind of fruit that is equivalent to gold and elixir for the sea master and the people living at sea, that is, oranges.

Tangerines can be said to be treasures of the whole body, with the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, dissolving phlegm and quenching thirst, and the meat, skin and leaves can be used as medicine, playing an important role in daily life.

Tangerine peel can be beautified, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that tangerine peel (orange peel) "is supplemented with tonic medicine; with laxatives, then laxatives; The same liter of medicine will rise; If the drug is lowered, it will be lowered. ”

Orange peel is called "tangerine peel" in medicine, which has the effect of regulating qi and dampness, dissolving phlegm and relieving cough, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and is often used to prevent and treat chest and flank swelling pain, hernia, ** lumps, stomach pain, food accumulation, gas infusion and other symptoms.

Its fruit pit is called "orange pit", which has the effect of dispersing knots and relieving pain, and is commonly used in clinical treatment of breast inflammation and pain.

Tangerine, that is, the reticulated meridians on the orange pulp, has the effect of channeling and dissolving phlegm, smoothing qi and activating blood, and is often used to treat phlegm stagnation and cough.

Tangerine leaves can relieve the liver and regulate qi, reduce swelling and disperse toxins.

The vitamin A in tangerines is also able to enhance the body's vision in dark environments and treat night blindness.

On top of that, due to storage and custody considerations, most of the ships on the voyage carry cured meats and jerky, with few fresh vegetables and fruits, coupled with the lack of fresh water, many sailors will suffer from sepsis due to vitamin C deficiency.

Eating more fresh oranges, oranges, and lemons can be effectively prevented.

The best example of this is that during the Age of Discovery, European sailors would carry a large number of oranges when they went to sea, and in the eyes of these sailors, it was more important to bring more oranges than to bring more goods to make money.

Autumn is the season when oranges are ripe, Cao Xing bought a large number of oranges from Guangling, Xuzhou, left the ripe ones to the people who went south, and placed the half-ripe ones in cooler, drier and more ventilated places.

In this way, after the North Sea Fleet transported the Canghai troops to the south and dropped off the personnel, they loaded with half-ripe oranges, oranges, rice from the south, and metals such as copper and iron because of the high mountain and the emperor's distance, low control, and high iron production.

So that the ship is not empty, and the sea ship is better used.

--

There are white clouds floating in the sky, and the sun reflects dazzling light on the vast water surface of the river, and the rolling river water flows from west to east.

On both sides of the river are steep and tree-lined mountains, and the autumn breeze blows the red maple leaves all over the mountain, making them as beautiful as flowers like a green forest.

Like a five-masted ship of a palace, like a three-masted ship of an attic, like a dhow of a bungalow,

There are also five, four, and three-story ships.

The ship is long and narrow;

It is larger than Mengchong, smaller than the building ship, there are holes for inserting oars on both sides of the hull, and there are female walls around the boat, and there are arrow holes on the female walls to attack the enemy's fighting ships.

and smaller boats and fishing boats.

Hundreds of boats of all kinds lined up in a long line and sailed up the river.

A warship has a majestic appearance, two rows of oars are rowing in the holes on both sides of the hull, and there are five floors of cabins on the deck, and there are strong soldiers wearing hats and no armor.

On the top of the five-story ship, a yellow dragon flag with the word "Cao" on a red background is fluttering in the wind.

One boat carried a thousand soldiers of the personal guard battalion, a thousand original Haikou soldiers, and a thousand Danyang soldiers led by Cao Bao.

Cao Xing wore a hat on his head, listened to the cries of apes on both sides of the strait, looked up at the scenery on both sides of the strait, his face was relaxed, and his lips opened lightly: "Between the colorful clouds of the river and summer, thousands of miles of Chongming will be returned in one day."

The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains! ”

The potter's face was adoring, and he became a fan of Cao Xing through and through, and his title was changed to Mr., at this time he high-fived and applauded: "A good poem chanted by Mr.!" I never thought that there are such big islands in the world, the jurisdiction of the two counties is more than that, Mr. named it Chongming Island, and now makes this poem thousands of miles away, in response to the situation, and the eternal swan song also! The students admired it very much! ”

You praise me, I'm not a stingy person, and this time the potters did a great favor, the potters changed their words to Mr., Cao Xing naturally couldn't see too much, and also changed to an honorific title: "No matter how good the literature is!" It's not as good as the large number of boats that Brother Tao bought in Guangling, Xuzhou, on the north bank of the river, and Danyang County, Yangzhou, his hometown on the south bank!

It is not as good as the 2,000 Xuzhou soldiers raised on the north bank and the 3,000 Danyang soldiers on the south bank by relying on Brother Tao's prestige. ”

In what era, it is a very happy thing to be recognized and praised by idols in person, and potters are now in this happy state.

"It's still the prestige of the family, and the students follow suit!"

This kid is not complacent, and he knows how to seek truth from facts.

The potter was like this, Cao Xing's expectations for him were a little higher, and he lowered his head to untie the long sword of the waist sword, and the scabbard hit the potter.

I saw that the potter's face was flushed, and he gently poked his palm with his fingernails, and the pain told him that he was not in a dream.

Cao Xuan always kept smiling and waited patiently for him, until Tao Shang took the long sword with trembling hands, and Cao Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Tao! Practice more martial arts, learn to learn military books, what you can do now, you can do in the future! ”

After saying that, Cao Xuan turned around and left, leaving the potter alone to be happy in the bow of the boat, and when he got off the cabin, he took the broken army handed over by Hu Chi'er, and once again squeezed the waist sword that had just untied the long sword.

--

The Chongming Island mentioned by the potters here is not the one after 1,800 years, the Chongming Island is still a small sand dune at this time, but a large island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, shaped like a goose egg, with a natural port.

More than twice the size of Chongming Island 1,800 years later, and far from the mainland, the island is one of the nests of the Yangtze River pirates and the East China Sea pirates.

Jiang Qin, the marshal of the East China Sea Bandits, was under his command, and Zhou Tai, the marshal of the water thieves in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, hid in Panyang Lake and did not show up, so Cao Xing took advantage of the situation to occupy this big island and named it Chongming Island, and established Chongming Port City on the basis of a natural harbor.
