Chapter 832 Canned food
In the command room, Yang Chengying dined with Shang Kexi, Fu Qingzhu and others.
The protagonist of this meal is the kimchi that has just been delivered to the ship.
"Li Chaoren is really interesting, others are so-so, this kimchi technique is not bad."
Shang Kexi quipped while eating.
"Not only kimchi, but also green houses are opened everywhere, especially in Busan Port."
Master Fu Qing turned his head to look at Yang Chengying and said, "Yang Jingluo, I also heard from the transport soldiers and workers that many soldiers in the battalion asked for a woman from the Li Dynasty to be their wives. ”
The implication is that you don't care about this kind of thing?
"It's normal for a man to get married and a woman to get married."
Yang Chengying said: "As long as they don't violate military law, whether they are happy with each other, or the life of their parents, I won't care." ”
Zheng Zhifeng glanced at Master Fu Qing more, disgusted that this guy was in charge of so much.
Yang Chengying didn't mind at all, but admired Fu Qingzhu's chivalrous spirit.
Then, he said with great interest: "You must not know, in fact, this kimchi is also very knowledgeable. People who stay at sea for a long time will suffer from beriberi and scurvy due to the lack of fruits and vegetables they eat. ”
There are many symptoms of scurvy, generally anorexia, lack of weight gain, paleness, fatigue and weakness, which can be accompanied by low-grade fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
In severe cases, there will be bleeding symptoms, and even local necrosis, until a whimper.
After introducing scurvy, beriberi and other navigation diseases, Yang Chengying said: "With the current technology, if you want to treat it thoroughly, the cost is very high. It is necessary to give priority to prevention and replenish a large number of fresh fruits and vegetables and kimchi in a timely manner. ”
"No wonder the king took the trouble to go out to sea, visiting and trading along the coastline point by point."
Zheng Zhifeng didn't understand until now.
In the past, he always felt that he would have so many trade points to distract his strength.
It turns out that there are considerations in this regard.
"Not only that, once it comes to a big war, if we don't get a good relationship in advance and dredge up all aspects."
Yang Chengying said: "We will fall into the passivity of insufficient supplies, without supplies, you are a lion, and you can only leave in embarrassment." ”
Fu Qingzhu and Li Zhongzi listened to it and hurriedly wrote it down by heart.
This is a valuable asset that they will be able to use on their future voyages.
After finishing the meal, Yang Chengying took the waiter to inspect the various cabins on the flagship.
Make sure that every crew member has access to the pickles, as well as the oranges allotted to them. It is also necessary to ensure the cleanliness and ventilation of the cabin.
"Have you memorized everything I told you just now?"
Yang Chengying turned his head and asked Shi Lang.
"It's all written down." Shi Lang replied, "King, if we defeat the Netherlands this time, can we start sailing?" ”
"Not yet. We also want to further develop Jilong Island, and then Qiongzhou. Then go south to occupy the Li Dynasty and other places to prepare for the ocean. ”
Yang Chengying said in a deep voice: "Until the entire South China Sea is included, then start the ocean." ”
"Your approach, my lord, is too conservative. According to Chen's idea, you can divide the army into two ways and do what you say all the way. The other way goes east, across the ocean you speak, to the other side of the ocean. ”
Shi Lang's words were full of vitality.
Yang Chengying nodded: "This is a good idea, but we still have to wait." ”
"When is that going to be?" Shi Lang was a little frustrated.
"Wait until I find something that will make something that will allow you to eat without a shortage of pickles, even if you sail at sea for months."
The thing Yang Chengying said is actually canned.
The world's first canned food was bottled, but it was not well sealed.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the British invented tinplate for canning, which was the prototype of modern canned food.
But the raw material of tinplate has one important thing, that is, tin.
The hot plating method is used to plate tin on the surface to prevent corrosion and rust.
Huaxia tin mines are mainly in the south, and the tin mines in the north are particularly far away from the core area, hundreds of kilometers away from Chifeng.
"Is there such an amazing thing?" Shi Lang looked curious.
"Absolutely. When the time is right, you'll be able to see it. ”
Yang Chengying said confidently.
After the inspection, Yang Chengying returned to his bedroom.
Deyin and Tang Yue were together, and when they saw Yang Chengying coming back, Tang Yue and the other women got up and left.
"How does life feel on board?" Yang Chengying asked with concern.
"It's a bit bumpy, and it's a little stuffy. However, you can occasionally go out and blow the wind and look at the vast sea to make it less stuffy. ”
Deyin said softly.
Yang Chengying said with a smile: "We have a big task on this trip, and we didn't stop much along the way." In a few days, the big thing has been solved, so let's have a good look. ”
"Hmm. Shall we sleep in the cabin tonight, or will we go ashore? ”
Compared to the bumps on the boat, Deyin still prefers life on the shore.
"Go ashore. Our next stop is the Tsushima Domain, and I think the Lord of the Tsushima Domain wants to see me more than ever. ”
Yang Chengying said mysteriously.
Zong Yicheng did look at Yang Chengying's arrival, more urgent than ever.
So much so that when he heard that Yang Chengying was bringing his female dependents to come, Zong Yicheng directly vacated a large courtyard in Jinshi City for female dependents to live in.
He also asked the main room to personally select a bunch of maids to serve on the side.
There is no other reason for this, the behemoth of the shogunate has already given him a disgrace.
On the night of his arrival, Yang stayed at the Tsushima Domain's Golden Stone Castle.
At dawn the next day, Zong Yicheng couldn't wait to invite Yang Chengying to have breakfast together.
Yang Chengying couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, it seems that the matter is even more serious than imagined.
After washing, Yang Chengying followed his attendants to the castle tower.
Unlike last time, this time there is only Zong Yicheng's clan Zong Zhishun.
Acquaintances such as Liuchuan Tune, Liuchuan Tune Xing's grandson, and Gui Bo Xuanfang are nowhere to be seen.
"Looks like something really happened."
Yang Chengying sat down calmly.
The maids serve the food.
Zong Yicheng said: "I shouldn't have been in such a hurry, but I had to. The envoy of the shogunate lived in Shimizuyama Castle, and waited for me to enter Beijing to visit the princess. ”
"Don't panic, you have to tell me the cause and development of the matter, so that I can give you advice."
Yang Chengying said while calmly eating the food.
A little hungry.
"It's a bit hard to talk about it."
Zong Yicheng's face flushed, "It's all because I was not greedy enough, violated the agreement with the Yanagawa family, and swallowed their benefits."
Unexpectedly, the Yanagawa family disregarded decency and shook out the affairs of me and you. The shogunate ordered me to go to the shogunate to inquire, and I was terrified. ”
"He's recruited them all?" Yang Chengying asked calmly.
Zong Yicheng's spirit was already a little broken, and he nodded.
"Have you given us a private share?"
"Confessed."
"Have you explained how much benefit you have given me?"
"Hmm."
When Yang Chengying heard this, he smiled instead: "Then you don't have to worry, go to Edo to meet the shogun generously." ”
"Huh?" Zongyi is unclear.
