Chapter 381: Dahan's Sailing Dream

Seeing that He Xian didn't seem to be a fake, Yizhu didn't dare to force it, and asked tactfully: "I heard that the little sister of the Zhen family in Zhongshan was able to settle in Shuijing Academy to study because of the recommendation of the general. Dare to ask the lord, can there be such a thing? ”

Mi Zhu still did not give up, and wanted to follow the method of Zhongshan Zhen, and send Mi Zhen to Nanyang first, as for whether Mi Zhen could be accepted as a concubine by He Xian in the end, it all depended on creation. Even if He Xian didn't accept Mi Zhen in the end, in the Shuijing Academy, where talented people from the Han Dynasty gathered, with the talent of his little sister, it shouldn't be too difficult to choose a "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick".

He Xian nodded and said, "That's true!" Zhen Yu is now in the School of Medicine of Shuijing Academy, with excellent grades! ”

"That being the case, Mi Zhu begs the lord to recommend the little sister to study in Shuijing Academy!"

"There's no problem with this!" He Xian immediately agreed, "Ben will write a letter of recommendation to Mr. Sima later." ”

"Thank you, lord!" Mi Zhu bowed down and thanked him. Although the expected goal was not fully achieved, being able to recommend Mi Zhen to study at Shuijing Academy in the name of He Xian at least brought the connection between the Mi family and the core of the Nanyang Army closer.

"I called you over this time, except for rewarding meritorious deeds. Ben will have another inquiry. It is related to Zizhong's future career. If Zizhong is suspicious, it doesn't hurt to say. “

"Please command, my lord!"

"Ben is going to entrust Zizhong to form a navy of the Great Han! According to Ben General's understanding, Mi has lived in the East China Sea for a long time and has his own offshore fleet. Based on the Mi fleet, it is planned to invest materials and manpower to develop the ability to sail to the sea! ”

Mi Zhu was a little puzzled: "The sea is changeable. Regardless of the weight of the sea ship and the ability to withstand storms, the plague at sea alone is a difficulty that the Han cannot overcome. “

"Plague at sea?"

"Indeed!" Mi Zhu said solemnly, "The ancestors of the Mi clan have explored ocean voyages more than once, but they have all been defeated by a mysterious disease without exception. The patient suffered from recurrent chills, chills, and high fever, followed by a petechiae-based rash, pain in joints all over the body, and finally confusion leading to death. It is said that this is the plague of the sea deliberately spread by the dragon king after offending the sea dragon king......"

Before Mi Zhu finished speaking, He Xian blurted out: "Sepsis!" “

Yes, the deadliest disease of ocean voyages is sepsis! In the fourteenth century, many of the crew members of the expedition led by Gelen and Columbus died of sepsis. At the same time, the Chinese crew was not bothered by this. The root cause of sepsis is that the crew has not been able to eat vegetables for a long time and lacks vitamin C. The secret of the Chinese crew's escape from sepsis lies in two secret weapons: soybeans and green tea.

Chinese food culture is broad and profound. Soybeans alone can be used to make a variety of foods such as tofu, soy milk, bean sprouts, dried tofu, and tofu. Bean sprouts, in particular, are even more magical. Because to a certain extent, bean sprouts can replace vegetables and contain a certain amount of vitamin C. Green tea, on the other hand, also contains a certain amount of vitamin C. The ancestors of the Mi clan explored the ocean, but they were plagued by sepsis because they did not bring enough soy products and green tea.

"The lord knows about the plague at sea?" This time, it was Mi Zhu's turn to be extremely surprised. Judging from He Xian's reaction, Mi Zhu can be sure that He Xian is definitely not the first time he has heard of this disease.

"Yes! Ben General once mentioned a mysterious disease with the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, whose symptoms were exactly the same as the plague at sea described by Zizhong. Dr. Zhang named it sepsis. The main cause of this disease is that the crew floats at sea for a long time, and the daily intake of fresh vegetables is insufficient, resulting in an imbalance of yin and yang in the body. It is not difficult to solve this disease, you only need to use clay pots to grow vegetables on the ship, ensure that the crew has vegetables to eat every day, and there is green tea to drink, which can greatly resist this disease! "The cause of sepsis is simple, but it is difficult for the Han people who don't know why vitamin C is important. He Xian could only pretend to be a miracle doctor and tell Mi Zhu how to resist it. As for the reason, leave it to the descendants of the Han to solve it.

When Mi Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "If the plague at sea can be achieved, the biggest problem of ocean voyage will be solved." The rest is to build a big ship, draw a nautical chart, measure ocean currents, storms, ......" Mi Zhu said that the ocean voyage turned out to be obsessed and intoxicated.

"I can't imagine that Zizhong is so obsessed with the ocean?" Seeing Mi Zhu's appearance, He Xian laughed.

"To be honest, the Mi family has lived in the East China Sea for a long time, and the wealth they have accumulated is actually a gift from the ocean. Mi Zhu's biggest dream when he was a child was to go to the depths of the ocean and see how much wealth there was. For this reason, all of Mi Zhu's energy in his youth was focused on studying the ocean. In my study, more than half of the bamboo slips are used to record all kinds of knowledge about the ocean. Some of them are researched data, and more of them are from the experience of recording what fishermen have seen and heard after they went out to sea. At this moment, Mi Zhu completely abandoned the shrewd and capable identity of Xuzhou Dashang, and completely incarnated as an obsessive person with the ocean. Like many space fans, game fans, and sports fans in later generations, he is now focused and crazy. The eyes burned with the brilliance of dreams.

He Xian felt that it was the most correct thing to entrust this plan of ocean conquest to such a dreamer!

"What is in the depths of the ocean, I cannot tell you! But what I can be sure of is that in the northeast of the Great Han Dynasty, the Wa kingdom recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty was full of silver. However, the people of the Wa Kingdom were in a state of drinking blood and did not know how to mine at all. And in the southeast of Dahan, there are countless small islands, and spices as precious as gold are everywhere on the small islands. Year after year, it rots, regrows, and is not picked. If you can go further, on the other side of the sea, you can see more exotic countries, exotic flora and fauna......"

When He Xian said this, I don't know if Mi Zhu saw the burning brilliance of dreams in his eyes. This is a discussion about dreams between two ocean fans.

"Don't ask me where I got these things from! I have my own way of acquiring this knowledge. Faced with Mi Zhu's longing eyes, He Xian, like an evangelist, brainwashed his followers and said: "You just need to believe that what I say is true, and that's enough!" Believe me, opening up the ocean is like opening up another world for Dahan! This cause is destined to be recorded in the annals of the Han Dynasty and the history of human development! Regardless of whether or not I can restore the glory of the Han family in the future, I hope you will remember what I said today and carry on the dream of exploring the sea. Open up a different world for the children and grandchildren of the Han! “
