Chapter 42 Land and Population Surveys
Corn boiled into porridge, wheat ground into flour to make bread, potatoes stewed with beast meat, each of the three foods exudes a rich aroma, just smelling the aroma makes people appetite.
The meal was quickly ready, Roger and Xiaochun brought the polenta, bread, and potato stewed beast meat into the big table in the hall where Luo Zhan lived, and Qin Mingkong and Luo Zhan immediately filled a bowl of corn porridge and a loaf of bread, and ate it with chopsticks.
Roger filled five bowls of polenta, put them on the plate, and then put five breads and two plates of potato stewed beast meat on the plate, and personally served them to Han Linxia and the five people.
Han Linxia and the five were flattered, Li Yelong took the plate in Roger's hand, put it on the table, and the five of them saluted Roger in unison to thank him.
Although the five Han Linxia are in the realm of martial arts, they absolutely obey the orders of the royal family because of the royal family's support, so in the eyes of some people, they are inferior to slaves, equivalent to slaves, and they look down on them very much.
The moment Qin Mingkong, Luo Zhan, Luo Wenchuan, Luo Wenhai, and Luo Wensen ate potatoes, corn, and wheat, they fell into the spirit technique and obeyed Roger's words.
Of course, the speech and spirit technique is countless times higher than the general control secret technique, and the general control of the secret art, or the practitioner can discover his own technique, and others can also see it, or the practitioner does not realize his technique, but others can see that the practitioner is in the technique, or the practitioner and others do not find the practitioner's technique, but the practitioner behaves differently, and after a long time, others will find out that the practitioner is in the technique.
Speech and spiritualism are different, there will be no change in the actions of the middle word spiritualist, everything is as usual, but he will subconsciously obey the caster's orders, agree to any suggestions and opinions of the caster, and do things according to the caster's wishes.
Han Linxia and the five of them ate corn porridge, bread made of wheat, and stewed beast meat with potatoes with gratitude, and fell for the spiritual skills performed by the four maids of Xiaochun, and began to obey Roger's words.
Luo Zhan said, "Jie'er, come and eat." ”
"Okay. Roger agreed, went back to the hall, sat down on the seat, took a bowl of polenta and drank it, took a bite of a loaf of bread, and ate a piece of potato and beef, and said, "It's really delicious!"
Qin Mingkong and Luo Zhan nodded in unison, agreeing with what Roger said from the bottom of their hearts.
Millet and millet are ground into flour to make bread, and they are also mulberry seeds to eat, and bread made of wheat flour does not taste mulberry at all, and it is particularly fragrant.
"Even if the yield of potatoes, corn, and wheat does not exceed that of millet and millet, as long as the yield is equal to that of millet and millet, or even a little worse, I have decided to recommend them to my father. Qin Mingkong said, "After all, if you can have three more foods, three more foods, presumably Daqian should be able to reduce the number of hungry people." ”
"Why don't you also call Master Mo, Lord Zhao, Lord Yun, Lord Yang and Lord Lin over to taste potatoes, corn, and wheat?" said Roger, "If you want to promote the cultivation of potatoes, corn, and wheat in the Han Kingdom, you can't surpass these adults." ”
The people Roger said were naturally Mo Xuwen, Zhao Li, Yun Shen, Yang Jinjin, and Lin Meng.
Lin Meng is Yang Jinjin's deputy general, like Yang Jinjin, although he is a military general, he belongs to the eunuch group.
Because the titles of various departments and officials in the Han Kingdom have not yet been decided, the titles are temporarily used as "adults".
"Roger is right, they should have been called. Qin Mingkong said, then turned his head outward, "Li Yelong, go and call Master Mo, Master Zhang, Lord Yun, Lord Yang, and Lord Lin." ”
"Yes. Li Yelong stood up and agreed, and turned to leave.
Soon, Mo Xuwen and Yang Jinjin came, listened to Roger's narration, and successively ate corn porridge, bread, and potatoes to stew beast meat, and fell into the magic of speech.
Corn porridge, bread, and potato stewed beast meat were swept away, and Koharu cleaned up the table and entered the kitchen with plates and chopsticks.
Qin Mingkong looked at this scene with a strange expression, looking at Roger and Xiaochun from time to time, she was very curious in her heart, Roger was such an ordinary Great Martial Artist Realm cultivator, how made such a super strong man willing to serve him like a maid.
"Lord Mo, are there any officials who are proficient in farming?" asked Roger.
"Yes. Mo Xuwen said, "There are two of them, called Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami, both of them are mortal, although Zhao Dongnong is a descendant of the Zhao family, but he has no cultivation talent, so he is not valued by the Zhao family." ”
"I want to meet Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami, and test them. Roger said.
"Yes, I'll send someone to call the two of them. Mo Xuwen said, glanced at Yun Shen, Yun Shen understood, and walked out of the hall quickly.
Roger continued: "I also want to know the land area of the Han Kingdom, the number of Han people, the number of foreigners, the number of laymen, the number of Han cultivators, and the number of foreign cultivators. ”
Mo Xuwen said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate these things when I go back." ”
"How many villages are there in the Han Kingdom other than the national capital (Wanliu Town)?" asked Roger.
Mo Xuwen immediately replied: "Thirteen, all of them are near the national capital, not far away, only a few miles. ”
Roger looked at Yang Jinjin and asked, "Lord Yang, how many soldiers are there in the Han Kingdom?"
"Three thousand five hundred soldiers. Yang Jinjin replied, and explained: "Originally, there were 5,000 soldiers, but after the monarch was knighted, the 1,500 soldiers belonging to Aurora City were transferred back to Aurora City according to the law. ”
Roger nodded, three thousand five hundred soldiers, it should be enough.
Not long after, Yunshen brought Zhao Dongnong and Yuan rice.
When Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami saw Qin Mingkong and Luo Zhan, they hurriedly saluted.
Qin Mingkong and Luo Zhan nodded lightly.
Roger said, "Lord Zhao, Lord Yuan, I heard that you two are proficient in farming, right?"
Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami glanced at each other, and after a little hesitation, they still nodded.
"Well, I'm going to ask some questions about farming now, and I hope you can answer them truthfully. Roger said, "Although I am a practitioner, I also know a little about farming, so don't think you two can fool me." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Damilian hurriedly waved their hands and said.
Roger nodded in satisfaction and began to ask questions.
Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami answered each other fluently, without the slightest hesitation, and they were really proficient in agricultural affairs.
Qin Mingkong and Luo Zhan listened silently.
After asking the question, Roger got up and said to Qin Mingkong and Luo Zhan: "Your Royal Highness Princess, father, everyone, please wait a moment, I will take them to see the potatoes, corn, and wheat." ”
Qin Mingkong's heart moved, got up and said, "I'll go too." ”
Roger took Qin Mingkong, Zhao Dongnong, and Yuan Dami back to the courtyard where he lived.
The ten servants were still toiling corn and wheat.
Qin Mingkong was shocked when he saw so many potatoes, corn, and wheat, and he couldn't remember when Roger got so many potatoes, corn, and wheat somewhere in the valley, obviously Roger had been following her all along.
Roger imparted knowledge to Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami on how to breed potatoes, corn, and wheat, and asked them to teach these ten servants to breed potatoes, corn, and wheat.
Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami were ordinary people, they were scholars, they knew that potatoes, corn, and wheat were new grains, and they were excited, thinking that if potatoes, corn, and wheat were popularized throughout the country in the future, their names would definitely be recorded in the history books, so they couldn't help but tremble, full of energy, and immediately rolled up their sleeves to teach ten servants to breed potatoes, corn, and wheat.
Roger watched it for a while, then left with peace of mind and returned to the courtyard where Luo Zhan lived with Qin Mingkong.
"Mo Xuwen and they went back to complete the things you just said. Luo Zhan saw Roger and Qin Mingkong coming back, and said with a smile.
Roger nodded, originally he still wanted to go to the thirteen villages with Mo Xuwen and them to have a look today, so he could only give up for the time being, and wait until the things he arranged for Mo Xuwen and them to be done.
There was nothing else to do for the time being, so Roger said to his father and Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, and took Xiaochun back to the courtyard where he lived.
Less than half an hour after Roger came back, Luo Zhan came to find Roger.
"Jie'er, what is your relationship with Princess Taiping?" Seeing Roger, Luo Zhan asked straight to the point.
Roger rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have any special relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, at least not the kind of relationship you think with the three uncles!"
Luo Zhan's old face flushed, and he confirmed: "Is there really not the kind of relationship we thought?"
"No!" said Roger, helplessly.
Luo Shizhi was slightly disappointed, and said: "Alas, I thought you and Her Royal Highness the princess were in sight, it seems that it was purely a few of us who thought too much." ”
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Roger said with a wry smile.
Luo Zhan smiled: "There is a little disappointment, but it is more of a blessing." Princess Taiping is the princess of a country, if you fall in love with her, there will be no good results, just like me and your mother, there will be no good results. ”
Roger was silent and pretended to be deep, since he got a drop of blood from his first life, the Supreme Supreme, and recovered a small part of his memory, he didn't care much about these emotions, after all, he was reincarnated 360 billion times, and the first and second reincarnations might care more about these emotions, and the more times he did, he looked down on them.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Luo Zhan said, "Although the Han Kingdom has been established now, everything is in a mess, Jie'er, just now I saw that you instructed Mo Xuwen and them to do things quite handily, can you do me a favor?"
Roger said, "Father, please." ”
Luo Zhan said: "Help me design the various official positions of the Han Kingdom, of course, the Han Kingdom is so small, it is a town, you can design it casually, you don't need to design it too complicated." ”
Roger thought for a moment and said, "Okay. ”
Luo Zhan and Roger stood in the courtyard and watched Zhao Dongnong and Yuan Dami command ten servants to breed potatoes, corn, and wheat for a while, and then left the courtyard with a smile and satisfaction.
