Sun Gengyu's guess was not wrong.

They traveled for another half day, and when they returned to Juxian in the evening.

Prince Zhang was not like the previous times, washing and preparing to sleep.

Instead, he led them to search for hard stones on the barren hills outside the city.

Let them mine like coolies.

Dozens of large cake-shaped rocks with a diameter of about three feet were dug and polished in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until the rooster crowed that Prince Zhang asked them to stop.

"Okay, let's go to sleep first, and when you have slept enough, this palace will tell you how to eat this bean in addition to boiling and eating."

Seeing that everyone's eyelids drooped and refused to leave, they were afraid that they would fall for him.

Zhang Junlin couldn't laugh and cry.

"Don't worry, since this palace has let you contribute, it will naturally not play tricks on you."

"Something like this that can benefit the people, whether it is the South Yue Kingdom, the Western Chu State or the Northern Qi Kingdom, will be shared with each other in the future, right?"

Yeah.

Shi Lei, Sun Gengyu and the others hurriedly nodded mechanically.

Even if they were young and strong, they couldn't bear Prince Zhang, who was following the seventh-order high-grade inhuman realm.

It is also a measure of land, a tour of the mountains and waters, and a digging of stones in the mountains.

Give them a bed at this moment, and they will fall asleep on their backs.

"By the way, don't sleep lazy, in case the palace wakes up first, if you can't see the whole process of how the beans are stored and eaten, don't blame the palace for not reminding you."

This time.

Shi Lei and the others didn't even dare to sleep.

But when he returned to the room, he still couldn't bear the overwhelming sleepiness, so he fell asleep, and secretly told himself that he would only sleep for two hours, and only sleep for two hours.

However, this sleep came to noon.

It was only when the aroma of the food outside reached the house that everyone suddenly woke up.

The first thing they do when they wake up is to bounce out of bed and push open the window.

Look towards the backyard where the word "zizi" is heard.

I saw it in the backyard.

Stacked were rough stone cakes that they had dug and polished from the mountains.

In addition to this, there are many iron rods.

Prince Zhang was standing in front of a stone cake, he stacked two round cake stones together, connected the iron rod to the two round cakes, and then held the handle tied to the edge of the stone mill and turned.

Two stones can then be turned in different directions.

"Alright, let's go and lead another donkey."

Facing the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if the person in charge of the post house was confused, he still did what he was ordered.

After a short time, a sturdy donkey was pulled into the backyard.

The donkey looked at the stone cakes all over the ground, his eyes were full of confusion, and he shook his head and wanted to leave.

Zhang Junlin personally put the rope on the donkey.

"Just let it go around in circles along this stone mill."

Zhang Junlin added a pot of beans and put them in the middle of the stone mill.

As the donkey moved, the beans slowly leaked into the middle of the two stone mills and were crushed into juice.

This is soy flour.

Zhang Junlin used lime and other materials found after a few days of travel, added some water, and made brine.

Soak the bean flour, take up the marinade, and wait for it to form.

In fact, he is not very impressed by grinding soy milk and ordering tofu.

It's just that when I was a child, I saw the old people in the same village grinding it with a stone mill.

Red beans, mung beans, green beans...... As long as it is beans, even rice grains are ground into flour.

He can only say that he has made a rough design, and the rest is up to others to use their ingenuity and imagination to enrich and perfect the use of this stone mill.

Zhang Junlin made the ground soybean milk into brine tofu in front of Shi Lei and Sun Gengyu himself.

When the tofu is ordered, it still has a fishy smell peculiar to beans.

Many people are not accustomed to this fishy smell, and if you want to get rid of it, you also need to master the heat of the marinade.

Zhang Junlin can only let those chefs who are good at this way study this.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

He couldn't spend all his time on these things.

"Your Highness, this is what you said, beans that don't need to be boiled to eat?"

Sun Gengyu pinched a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth and tasted it seriously.

The flavor is a bit big, and it's not hard to swallow.

In a disaster year, it is definitely stronger than those tree bark and Guanyin soil.

The most important thing is that it is made of beans, and it will definitely not be bloated like a drum after eating.

Only carry hunger but can "support" the dead.

"Doesn't it taste good, right? This follow-up still needs to be adjusted, but this palace can only go so far at present. ”

"Did you see that okara? Those okara can be used as feed, which is equivalent to eating meat for poultry and livestock. ”

Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years.

Sun Gengyu's face was full of disbelief.

But after thinking about it, what Prince Zhang usually does seems absurd, but it actually has great results.

Moreover, this person did not lie to them, and even told them about the cultivation level.

So this bean stuff does work wonders.

It's just that.

I don't know if it can be promoted to the Western Chu State for planting.

In Sun Gengyu's impression, Xichu didn't seem to have the habit of planting these beans.

Those mountains are already very difficult to grow food alone.

"Your Highness, should these beans be planted in large quantities on the cultivated land that has been cleared?"

"A large number of not a large amount, anyway, now that the season of planting rice seedlings has been missed, the palace thinks that if it is to plant late rice, but many people feel that the labor cost is too large, and it is not easy to take care of, so the palace let them promote the planting of soybeans."

A swarm of bees to grow grain.

Returning to the decline in food prices, everyone feels that it is better to grow food than to work in the coming year.

Then the wasteland that has been painstakingly reclaimed this year may be abandoned again next year.

The so-called state decree is to affect the whole body.

It's impossible to just look at your head and feet.

If we only consider the immediate political achievements, we will not fundamentally solve the problems of people's livelihood.

Then there is no way to maintain the basic arable land in this country for a long time.

As the prince of the prison state, he is in charge of the cultivated land in the land of Jinling.

He needs to let the farmers, the common people, and the magnates on the cultivated land under his management be regulated by the decrees of the state, not that as long as the cultivated land can produce enough food and taxes, he can sit back and relax.

"Your Highness, I always feel that what you have done seems to me to be unprecedented and unprecedented, and will never be surpassed again, and every time I think like this, every time I will be subverted by your next move."

Shi Lei was really convinced.

South Vietnam.

The prosperity of the people and the strength of the country are already in sight.

I hope that the letter he sent to Xichu can reach his father in time to persuade His Majesty.

But don't be an enemy of the prince of Nanyue.

At least until you win the big win, you must not fight on both ends.

"Okay, when we finish studying these soy products, we can return to Jinling."

The next step is to discuss the prisoners and peace talks with Western Chu.

Zhang Junlin said to Shi Lei and the others half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I'm about to part with you, and this palace is still a little reluctant." ”

"Your Highness, are you reluctant to us or are you reluctant to give up our free labor?"

"What do you mean by free? Didn't the palace give you some gold and silver before, which was enough for the palace to employ ten times more manpower than you. ”

Zhang Junlin absolutely does not admit that he is a Zhou Papi.

He was just there to spy on the group of captives.

There was no intention of mistreating the captives.

……

The capital of Western Chu.

Qi Duo had just studied with the people of the Ministry of War for a day how to fight the first battle against the Great Winning Kingdom.

But his decision was passed on to the front, and the generals could only make a reference.

That Da Ying country started by raising horses, and its cavalry combat power is the first in the world.

Therefore, he felt that it was better to fight a cover battle in the mountains and hills, and not give those cavalry a chance to give full play to their advantages to win.

can blindly stick to it and use its own advantages, but you can only shrink back.

If you want to completely conquer the cavalry of the Great Ying Kingdom, you also need to find your own shortcomings in the battle, and then learn from each other's strengths.

Only in this way can one day take the land of Da Ying, even if it is just to occupy a few cities and have a horse farm.

When the time comes, whether it is going east or north, you can be fearless.

"Report!"
