Chapter 250: My Country 25
Seeing that it was about to reach the middle of winter, Lin Xi reversed his previous leisure and became busy.
There is still one year, and the year of the catastrophe that is rare in a century is coming, and the Jiang family will also overthrow the Yao Guang regime in this year, so there are too many things to prepare.
Ever since he knew that peanuts and soybeans had existed in this world for a long time, but people didn't know that they were used to extract oil, Lin Xi has been thinking about these things.
Thanks to a generation of strange people Yu Deshui, the first batch of oil extraction tools were quickly manufactured according to Lin Xi's intentions.
In fact, in Dachu, there are a few vegetable oils, which are sesame oil from the Hu people, which is actually sesame oil.
However, the yield of flax is too low, so in Dachu, those who can afford to eat oil can be regarded as families with good backgrounds.
The reason why Lin Xi chose peanut oil extraction is that the peanut yield is large and the raw materials are easier to obtain. The second is the by-product peanut cake obtained by frying peanut oil.
After frying, grinding, steaming, making cakes, and squeezing, the first pot of handmade peanut oil was born. In the evening, Lin Xi, a senior foodie, personally cooked a famous Sichuan dish for Yu Deshui - boiled fish.
Yu Deshui was sweating profusely and still refused to put off his chopsticks, and asked Lin Xi what kind of dish it was called, and when Lin Xi bluntly said the name of the dish, Yu Deshui's face immediately turned green, and he almost threw the chopsticks on Lin Xi's face.
Lin Xi's innocent face: "Brother Yu, you are a little hypocritical, your name is Yu Deshui, not Yu into the pot." Besides, I heard that you also have a stage name called 'Tian Wai', but we haven't seen you cry every day. It can be seen that the name has nothing to do with the person. If you don't eat it, I'll serve this dish, and if you want to eat it later, there's no way! ”
Yu Deshui is also a weirdo, Brother Jiang Dalang treats him as a father cautiously and respectfully, he has a cold face every day, Lin Xi is holding a gun and a stick and calling him big brother, this goods gave her a lot of tricks and lewd gadgets.
Lin Xi gave all the credit to Yu Deshui, and then asked Haidong Qingyuer to pass the news to her mother, Jiang's mother was overjoyed when she heard it, this is simply an epoch-making invention!
Peanut oil not only brought huge profits, but also allowed Lin Xi to save a lot of dry food. This thing doesn't taste good, but at least it can be filled. Not only can it be eaten dry, but it can also be made with gypsum.
As long as the cake is placed in a ventilated and dry place, it can be stored for a long time without spoiling. Eating it during a disaster is a good thing that can save lives.
Not only can people eat it, but it can also be fed to horses in forage, and it can even be used as fertilizer after fermentation, which is definitely a high-quality organic fertilizer.
In short, oil can make money, and peanut cake is Lin Xi's real purpose.
Then he sent a message to Huaguo Mountain, asking Jiang Wulang to arrange for someone to start collecting ice after entering December and storing it near a cold pool in Huaguo Valley.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Gongshun Hou Jiang Erlang had successfully recovered Licheng.
The Southern Expeditionary Army fought away and won the first battle, and the whole country was jubilant.
And Long Live Lord's face looked like he had been constipated for more than a month.
Licheng was not unhappy to recover him, but before he could show a smile, the Northeast Guard over there lost two in the blink of an eye.
The breach in the line of defense was opened in an instant.
Fortunately, the former Chaojing was just here to fight the autumn wind, and after grabbing the supplies, he retreated to his hometown and did not move forward, plus Xue Kai's rescue was also timely, and the situation was still under control.
It's just the looted materials, not to mention, the two guards lost nearly 10,000 men and horses at once, Yao Guang was so distressed that he pinched his teeth, they were all his soldiers!
And the most hateful thing is that Jing Yuanhou's calf is a disaster after eating, and if he can't take it, he will destroy it, burn it and smash it again, and the two guards will suffer heavy losses, Yao Guang has to go to the nearest place first, which makes the people nearby complain.
Who doesn't want to have a good year?
Hearing that the war in the north was tight, the crown princess Zuo Qingmei took the lead in setting up the Comfort Army Poetry Society to carry out fundraising activities, which became famous for a while and was praised by everyone.
After two consecutive phases, Zuo Qingmei was going to send the collected materials to the north again, so as not to let people freeze hungry.
This time, the location is set at Huiyun Building.
The ladies downstairs were splashing ink, and when they were showing their literary talents, they saw Jiang Shan, Jiang Fei, and Jiang Yun coming down from the elegant seats upstairs with oily faces.
When the county lord of Duanhe saw Jiang Shan, he was immediately angry, and when he saw Jiang Fei who was handsome and dusty behind her, he jumped up with a burst of fire.
"Jiang Shan, the soldiers of the Northland are hungry and cold at this time, but you are in the mood to eat and drink here?"
Lin Xi said: "No way, who told me that I don't have the body of a pig, but I have the appetite of a pig?" You are fat and you lose weight, it doesn't matter if I am thin! ”
Duanhe was angry again: "You know that what I'm talking about is not this, don't you see that we are running a poetry club for the soldiers of the Northland?" The crown princess is running for the food and clothing of those defenders in the north, what about you? What did you do? ”
Humility makes people progress, and compliments make people comfortable.
This sentence made Zuo Qingmei feel very useful, and she was about to come out of the crowd and say two words......
"We really didn't do anything, our Jiang family just raised an army that didn't need others to raise donations for them." Lin Xi said modestly.
!
Can you still talk well?
Duan and the county lord's mouth opened and closed several times, but he didn't say a word.
No way, people are telling the truth!
Beidi was attacked by others and robbed of food and winter clothes, but the Southern Expeditionary Army temporarily organized by the Jiang family snatched back a city for Da Chu.
It doesn't hurt too much to hit your face.
Zuo Qingmei wanted to say that the reason why Beidi lost the battle was because the military rations were transferred, Jiang Shanruo asked where was it supposed to be sent?
How did she answer?
Yao Guang also dropped the ash heap because of this - holding his breath and bringing a nest of fire.
He couldn't figure out why he had sent Jiang Jiajun's moldy grain to the northeast.
What's more, due to the deterioration of the grain, when the soldiers of the Beidi Guard Station were stretching extremely elegantly, the men and horses who were waiting for Qianjing suddenly fell from the sky.
Even many people were killed naked pp and died like this**.
The two guards that were attacked were the ones that had begun to eat a large amount of moldy grain and were the most severely affected.
If it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence!
Yao Guang hated it so much that he almost wanted to order Wu Weihou to gather troops and horses and directly exterminate Jing Yuanhou.
The two of them have a deep grudge as officials in the same dynasty, which is also the reason why Jing Yuanhou refused to submit to death, but Jing Yuanhou not only has a high prestige in the local area, but his subordinates are mainly cavalry, all of them are brave, almost second only to the existence of the Jiang family's army.
He didn't dare to move any of the three forces that existed now.
Fortunately, the prince offered a good strategy to ask the Jiang family to contribute to pacify the southern bandits, otherwise, he would definitely be in a more anxious situation now.
Yao Guang was so angry that he killed several grain and grass supervisors and escort officers.
Who is it?
Yao Guang glanced at the civil and military ministers below, feeling that all of them were suspicious.
