Chapter 136: Give Han Xin a Chance
"In addition, Lingnan will produce a kind of sugar called sucrose, which is much sweeter than sugar beets, and when the time comes, it can be transported to Xianyang to make some sweet dishes."
I suddenly remembered something: "Are there any people around Xianyang who raise fÊn pigs?" â
"Ugh." Yinglan looked at Ba Ling, who shook her head with a blank expression.
"Your Majesty, I don't know about this. Generally, no one raises pigs except for farming and fertilizer, and in order to reproduce, there are very few pigs. â
Xiangyun interjected: "Sister Lan, what do you mean?" â
Baling looked at Yinglan with a curious expression.
Yinglan's face turned red, she also heard it by chance when she heard the eunuchs in the palace chatting, and a girl was naturally ashamed to say it.
I couldn't help but be a little amused when I looked at her, Shi Shiran said: "It's a castrated pig." â
Ba Ling still didn't understand, and Xiangyun continued to ask curiously: "Your Majesty, what is a castrated pig?" â
I put down my chopsticks and said solemnly: "It's just that I cut that thing like a eunuch!" â
Ba Ling exclaimed, threw away the chopsticks in his hand, and clouds rose on his cheeks like Yinglan, obviously understood.
Seeing that Xiangyun was going to continue to ask, I couldn't stand it, so I hurriedly said: "Children can't listen to this, you'll know when you grow up." â
Xiangyun pursed his lips and didn't continue to ask.
I looked at the two of them and laughed, "What's so shy about this." "Zhou Yi" has a saying: The tooth of the pig, Ji. The saints are not shy about it, and you are still shy. â
Looking at the expressions of the two, it was obvious that they didn't want to discuss castration with the saint......
I continued: "Yinglan, you still have to raise some by yourself, don't feed those messy things. You can still cook a lot of dishes, and the recipes I asked Ku Jia to hand over to you have a lot of recipes about pigs, so you can find the first pigs to try it. â
In this era, pigs will be fed with human excrement, so it is better to raise it yourself from an early age, otherwise it will be disgusting to eat pork that has eaten feces......
"Now the pig is rarely used to eat, the most important role is two: the first is sacrifice, the three most important animals are the cow, sheep, pig, it can be seen that the status of the pig is not low. The second is composting. â
"As for why I eat so little, there are only four reasons:
The most important reason is that pigs are mainly used for composting in the folk, so they need to give birth to offspring to continue to raise, and generally do not castrate. There is no castration pig, and no one wants to eat that taste.
The two, Zuo Qiu Ming said in the "Chinese": The Son of Heaven eats too fast, the princes eat cattle, the Qing eats sheep, and the doctor eats pigs. It can be seen that people of status like me eat cattle and sheep, and do not eat pig meat much;
All three, now they are all black pigs, and there are no white pigs. The black pig meat is not delicious, and you are not very good at handling internal organs;
Finally, the pig can be eaten and is insatiable, and the folk believe that eating the pig will cause people to be as lazy as the pig; â
"But I don't think it's a problem, as long as it's delicious, people will naturally eat it."
Ying Lan nodded, and there was no embarrassment on her face: "Then I'll ask Li Qing to find a pig and try it first." â
"Hmm." I replied, "But there is one thing I have to warn you not to reveal the recipe I have given you." For example, if the production method of this pig meat is profitable, many people will choose to use grain to raise pigs, or castrate most of the pigs, which will have a great negative effect on Daqin's grain production, and there is no need for an iron pot or anything. â
Ying Lan said solemnly: "Lan understands. â
After eating, I was in a much better mood and was about to take Meng He back to the Sihai Palace, when I suddenly remembered the landcut.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Li Si also has a few properties outside the city, remember to stay away from him......"
After that, he mainly produced saltpeter, don't suddenly blow it up one day, and then blow up Yinglan's field together......
Ying Lan thought that I meant not to fight with Li Si for land, so she hurriedly said, "Lan understands." â
Then I took Meng He to Xianyang Palace, passing through Weishui Villa, I changed my mind and took Meng He to turn around and go to Villa.
Wei Chi went to hand over to Zhang Han and Qi Liang, and only Han Xin and some craftsmen and sergeants were there in the annex.
When Han Xin saw me coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "See Your Majesty." â
I smiled slightly, "No need to be polite. I'm passing by, I'm coming to see you. â
"Your Majesty, Xincheng is sincerely afraid." At my suggestion, Han Xin took me around the annex.
Walking to the school grounds, I patted the horizontal bar in the field: "Do you know what this does?" â
Han Xin shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, I don't know." â
I walked under the horizontal bar and slammed it up, ready to pull a pull-up to show him, but I felt that my arms went limp, and I fell straight down, almost falling to the ground.
Han Xin and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help me: "Your Majesty, is it okay?" â
I smiled awkwardly and pretended to fail! This Fusu's body is too weak, and it seems that he will have to strengthen his training in the future.
"It's okay, it's what I just demonstrated, pulling up with both arms, and the head over the bar is completed, which can exercise the soldier's arm strength and shoulder strength. When everything is ready, I'll teach you how to use it. â
Then I took a turn, except for some single bridges, parallel bars, barbells and other things on the school field, and even the lake next to it was transformed into a training ground for armed swimming.
The rain had stopped, and the sun was a little scorching, so Han Xin and I walked to the lake and stood still in the shade of the trees.
"Your Majesty, the grassland is a great victory, has the strategy of the letter been used?" Han Shin wanted to know what his strategy was.
I smiled slightly: "If the wolf court is closer, it is indeed a good way." â
Han Xin was stunned: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" â
I smiled bitterly: "The two of us thought very well, but we ignored the biggest problem, the wolf court is thousands of miles away from the clouds, and the most critical suspicious soldiers have no effect at all." â
Then I briefly told him about the Western Front.
Han Xin hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Xin lacks experience in leading troops, and he has never been to the border pass, which almost put His Majesty in a dangerous situation. â
"It's not your fault, I didn't know about it until I arrived in Shangjun. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the generals leading the troops can't deal with it in time, let alone you who are thousands of miles away. "This matter was originally my pot, and I underestimated the war.
"By the way, did Wei Chi give you an official position?"
Han Xin responded: "Back to Your Majesty, I have no military merits and no advice, how dare I take an official position." â
"Well......" I thought for a moment: "Well, when this is done, you can choose to go to Hexi, and I have big plans for it in the future." It's just that the environment there is much worse than Guanzhong, and the city is still under construction, I don't know if you want to? â
Han Xin was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is willing to give the letter a chance, how dare the letter be picky." â
I nodded: "Okay, you go to find Meng Hanyu, he is in Zhangye, and he is currently the Hexi Supervision Envoy and Zhangye County Guard." However, Hexi, like Donghu, is in a special situation, and his supervisor is even greater than the county guards of the other four counties. After you go, you will start as a commander first, and whether you can be promoted by military merit in the future depends on your own ability. â
It's a pity that such characters are in Xianyang, like birds in a cage. If he can endure loneliness and start as a thousand-year-old, I believe he will have a different life trajectory from the history books. If he feels that he is overkill and says goodbye, then it will be fine, and there will be no more Xiao He to persuade him to stay.
Then again, for a person with no experience in leading troops, a commander is not a petty officer......
