Chapter 9: The Tangled King of Mumu

That night, because He Harmony made steamed buns, the people of Fancheng also tasted it with gruel and wild vegetables.

This amount is indeed not enough for the people who work in the fields, but they don't need to have too much dinner, just eat enough.

When you are full, you can go to bed directly, and you can get up the next day to drink a bowl of porridge with steamed buns, and you will not feel hungry.

When the steamed bun is eaten in the stomach, it will begin to expand when it absorbs the liquid, although it can't support it for too long, but it is definitely full at the moment when it is eaten.

People with small meals may even feel a little panicked.

At noon, the steamed buns and rice will increase appropriately, after all, if you don't have enough to eat at noon, you won't have the strength to work in the afternoon.

Although the current food is a bit monotonous, it is enough for the people to eat enough, avoid unnecessary waste, and no one will go hungry.

And He Huan doesn't let them eat like this every day, and occasionally adds food.

If the hunting party had a good harvest on that day, he would cook a large pot of meat, and everyone would get their share.

There is soup to drink, and meat to eat.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people, He Harmony also arranged rewards, as long as they perform well, they can have the opportunity to eat meat buns.

The source of the minced meat is, of course, the hunting party.

The hunting team is composed of people and soldiers, and there are many people in Fancheng who are good at hunting, but because there are too many barbarians outside the city, they usually don't dare to go too deep.

Now that they are guarded by soldiers, they are a little bolder, and when they go into the mountains to hunt, they will harvest more.

At the same time, he also brought a group of collection teams to pick wild vegetables, wild fruits and some mushrooms, such as edible mushrooms and so on.

These are all good solutions to the food crisis.

Speaking of which, there is one thing in this world that really makes He Hui very helpless, that is, they can't grow anything else except food, not even vegetables.

They can hunt, but except for cattle and horses, they can't raise their own fish, and they can't fish or raise their own fish, which is really incomprehensible.

When He Huan proposed that he could grow his own vegetables, raise livestock, raise fish, etc., even Wang Xiu, who was a minister, couldn't stop shaking his head.

In Wang Xiu's words, "Those are all natural things, how can human beings do it?" ”

This kind of thinking simply made He Hui have thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, and he almost blurted out a sentence of lying grass.

Rice and wheat can be grown, so why can't vegetables be grown?

Didn't those stray dogs that you occasionally see on the streets and alleys survive eating leftovers?

So why can't you raise it yourself?

Could it be that those stray dogs survived by eating air?

Of course, because there is no surplus food in the city, stray dogs are almost gone, and it is estimated that they were slaughtered and eaten by the people, or they starved to death because they could not eat.

In short, this kind of thinking made He Hui very helpless, he felt that it was necessary to change, and it had to be changed.

No matter what they thought, He Huan directly ordered that when picking wild vegetables, if they could bring back the roots, they should try to connect the roots together.

You should also be careful not to hurt the roots when picking, and it is best to wrap some of the original mud and bring it back with you.

The gathering team has arranged the mission, and the hunting team is the same, as long as possible, then try to capture it alive, if there is really no way, then kill it.

And so it was, and a few days passed peacefully, without any problems.

Doing a job, giving a bite to eat, and occasional rewards make the people full of energy.

During this period, he also brought back a lot of wild vegetables with roots, and He Huan vacated a piece of land in the city and transplanted all of them.

Growing vegetables requires fertilization, and chemical fertilizers cannot exist in this world, so the best way is artificial fertilizer.

Under He Huan's careful care, those transplanted wild vegetables are thriving, which also surprises the people, including Wang Xiu.

Something that is born and nourished can really be cultivated by manpower!?

However, when they think of the fertilizer that He Harmonic applied, many people can't help but shake their heads, can this really be eaten?

That's what a pull out!

He sneered at the thoughts of those people.

This is a pure natural and pollution-free vegetable, why can't you eat it?

The nutritional value is absolutely high, and there is absolutely no problem at all when you eat it!

I don't know how much better vegetables that use pesticides and chemical fertilizers than those in the previous life.

Let's not talk about growing vegetables first, after all, the concept of people in this world is deeply ingrained, and it is not a matter of one or two days to want to change, and there is no need to rush it.

…………

Speaking of which, there is nothing dissatisfied with the current life of the people.

Now that they have rice to eat, as well as steamed buns, which are very magical foods in their eyes, they feel no worse than Wang Xiu at the beginning.

And from time to time, it will reward meat buns, white bun skin, and bite down into the hot oil to the mouth.

But the taste was irresistible to them, and they would never forget it after eating it once.

The people now are simply happy!

Some people are even glad in their hearts that the six princes who came to manage Fancheng are a Ming lord, giving them food and giving them land to plant.

Compared to the administrators who had to admit it only because of the rules of the Great Xia Empire at the beginning, now the people of Fancheng have sincerely accepted this young city lord from the bottom of their hearts.

…………

King Mumu sat cross-legged on a tiger skin, holding the leg of a beast that he didn't know what it was.

This is done after it has been cooked in plain water without any condiments added.

The civilized Xia people don't know much about cooking, and the usual cooking is basically the original, at most add a little salt, add flavor, and the rest is gone.

Not to mention the barbarians who are uneducated and don't understand anything.

The Mumu King, who was holding the beast's legs, had a straight look in his eyes, and he would bite it from time to time.

Just look at her disgusted expression, as if she was eating not meat, but soil.

If this beast's leg appeared in the city, it would immediately attract a large crowd of people to rob it, but the king of Mumu was tasteless.

"Shall I go or not?" In the past few days, King Mumu has been struggling with this problem.

According to her own heart, she really wanted to join Fancheng, not just for that bite of food, but for the whole clan.

As long as she learns the art of farming, she will be able to lead her clan and make it stronger in the future.

Instead of hunting every day, as is the case now, sometimes there is no prey yet.

Neither is it possible to be hungry and hungry.

Seven days had already made King Mumu a little impatient, and her heart was becoming more and more urgent.

It would be fine if there was no He Harmony's words, but now that she heard that sentence, whether it was the other party lying to herself or not, she really wanted to figure it out.

She has no hatred or resentment for Xia Ren, but has a deep gratitude.

Because it was Xia Ren who taught her to read and write, taught her to think about problems, and made her want to improve more.

In addition, the Xia people had told her a lot of things in the Great Xia Empire before, which also made her deeply realize that the Great Xia Empire was a civilized place.

As far as these barbarians are concerned, they do not know how to farm, they do not know how to live, and they do not know how to produce any tools, and there is no doubt that they are barbarians.

In the eyes of the Xia people, they don't know anything, they don't understand anything, they can only fight, they can only rob, and they are rude, and they can only be called barbarians.

For this, King Mumu himself has already admitted it in his heart.

The contrast is like that of a barbarian to the beasts.

So she didn't want to continue like this, she wanted to change, she wanted her tribe to become a civilized tribe, not like a pack of wild beasts.

Ignorance is not terrible, what is terrible is that when you know that you can change and improve, but you still don't change and improve, this is the most terrible.

Such people, such tribes, will only be eliminated in the long years of time.

Being able to think of this, thinking so long-term, is also thanks to the teachings of the Xia people who taught her secret techniques.

If it weren't for that person's teaching, Mu Mu wouldn't be the king, and he wouldn't know the value of food and the importance of civilization.

"No matter!" King Mumu threw the beast's legs on the ground and stood up with a sudden, "Instead of thinking like this, it's better to go directly to the door and ask for clarification!" ”

King Mumu said to do it, and walked out without saying a word, regardless of the surprised eyes of those clansmen, she directly led the horses and rushed towards Fancheng.

"What's the matter, King?" A barbarian asked.

"I don't know." The other barbarian shook his head.

"Do you want to follow along? Ever since he didn't get the food, the king has been sullen. The man said again.

"It's not just the king, we all want to eat rice, but those Xia people don't give it, and the king doesn't want to fight, so we can't help it."

"Why don't we steal it one day?" The man proposed.

The other person gave him a blank look and said: "You also saw that Xia Ren that day, the king can't beat him, if you think it's okay, you can go by yourself, if you can come back alive, I will recognize you as a big brother!" ”

This man has an attitude of "you do what you do".

The former hurriedly shook his head, he admitted that he couldn't do it, "That Xia man is really powerful, the king has been transformed, and he is not an opponent yet!" ”

"Well, I really want to have a bite of rice." He smashed his mouth, remembered the fragrant rice, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"yes, I want to eat it too." The man said: "You said that if the king really agrees, we can also grow our own rice, and there will be endless rice in the future." ”

"Don't think about it, the Xia people look down on us, how can they really teach us!" He said: "If you want me to see, that kid just talked casually that day, so as to trick us in, and then deal with us!" ”

"Well, it's possible!" The barbarian nodded in agreement.
