Chapter 226 Supplementary Food and Staple Food

Jiao Boqing still brought the heartless cannon on board.

The heartless cannon cast by the gun factory is still slightly heavier than the genuine one due to the lack of industrial technology, but it can be easily lifted by four or five people.

The old cannon-smiths under Wang Chengen, who finally had serious official status and could walk in broad daylight, came up with a plan.

"I think it's feasible to disassemble the base of the thunder cannon and the thunder cannon itself, paint the outside of the thunder cannon and make it look like a wooden barrel."

"Hey! That's interesting! Then this flying thunder cannon needs to have a buckle on it."

"Put a nail to seal it tightly. When using it, just snap the frame onto the cannon and it will be stable!"

"Try firing a gun!"

then.

A dozen large wooden barrels came out of the gun factory.

It was the time when I broke into the Jiannu Niulu Castle.

Even if people enter the capital and enjoy happiness, such a large piece of land cannot be lost easily.

"Blanch the beef, add star anise leaves, scallion knots, a little soy sauce and salt, then add this in and let it simmer slowly. Go and invite the leaders! Come, put these on the side of the charcoal fire and simmer for a while. You can't eat the corn.

Yes, this can be used as a staple food. One meal for a group of people will probably cost several acres."

As for why they use such big barrels instead of bags for transportation, the officials at the dock rubbed the silver in their arms and said that this must be the wisdom of the savages.

Because this is the arrangement of the only eunuch in the Shenyang Imperial City, these eunuchs who were abandoned by the Manchu and Qing court after two waves of evacuation were not worthy of being called eunuchs in the eyes of this eunuch, and could only become eunuchs and Mughals.

Thanks to the king's kindness, only then can he earn a living in the palace.

Of course, the most important thing among them, in Zhu Youjian's view, is actually the more than ten barrels of crops.

"It's a pity that Ming Dynasty is too far away."

"I'll drop by and have a taste."

As he spoke, Zhu Youjian took a bite of the beef stewed with potatoes in the pot.

"So you don't have to stay in Shengjing with your whole family to show your loyalty! You're such a good man, you've been stuck there for more than a month! Go out and do something!"

Enjoying the taste in your mouth, you are naturally thinking about the future impact of these three crops if they are popularized in advance.

Zhu Youjian's abruptness in raising his hand and opening his mouth to speak quickly made them quiet down and sit quietly to listen.

For a wild man emerging from the depths of the old woods.

Amidst the clanging gongs, the black flag tribute team returned.

"hey-hey."

As he spoke, Zhu Youjian handed over a bowl of potato stew and beef.

After a lot of robberies, you still rely on bandits to make a fortune, which inevitably develops a bandit temperament, not to mention that these tribal leaders are not good people in the first place.

It was only once that Jiannu City was conquered.

That's right, supplementary food.

"How can I neglect your call?"

Zhu Youjian also took a sip and found that the taste was indeed good, not far from what he remembered.

Naturally, it won’t be big in a short period of time.

Now, standing on the glorious and dark giant ship, overlooking the world of the Ming Dynasty, I feel as if I was crawling on the ice and sleeping in the snow two years ago, hunting in the woods with skins on my back, chewing roots around the stove with my tribe, and watching the elders of the tribe wearing their clothes.

The memory of walking into the blizzard is just a dream.

Others followed suit.

"So good."

Wandering around Shengjing and looting again.

Soon, Kalama, Gu Yiqi and other acquaintances came one after another. In addition to Jin Yangwu who was in charge of Jinzhou, almost all the senior officials from the Zhenghei Banner came. The newly surrendered Mongolian general Ejigen was also among them. After learning that there was nothing serious, the side hall

Suddenly it became noisy and heated.

Putting down the fold, Zhu Youjian summoned an eunuch to hand him a chair.

"Wurte!"

As for why he is an eunuch and not an eunuch, he is an internal prisoner.

"You swore a blood oath with Kalama under the black flag. We are brothers and blood relatives of the same family, so I will give you all the Mongolian armored men in Shengjing. How about you form a black flag Mongolian light cavalry?"

Ejigen bowed his head devoutly: "The prince has given me generous gifts. The tribe has more land than can be planted, and the cattle and sheep are also fat. The tribesmen are all grateful to the prince for his kindness."

"Taste it."

The worldview of several people was refreshed once again.

The half-fist-sized potato in his hand looked incomparable to the one in his memory, but according to the yield described in the brochure submitted by Wang Chengen, this potato was already a treasure that could be offered in the Xiannong altar.

A small friction inevitably occurred in Jinzhou. After the winter, the Eight Mongolian Banners were entrenched in Ningyuan, and naturally there were Tumut Mongolians among them.

And since it is a new crop, it is naturally not included in the Ming Dynasty's list of prohibited sales to the outside world.

Peeling the potatoes with his own hands, Zhu Youjian looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes on hand with intense eyes.

It is also filled with popular complementary grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn grown in Nanjing in recent years.

Kalama replied vaguely: "Your Majesty, you are merciful."

"Come so fast?"

Following the ocean to the north, when the Black Flag Navy arrived in Gaizhou, it was the time to prepare for spring sowing.

While talking and laughing, Zhu Youjian staged a round of sharing the soup, each person took a spoon, and then took out a few sweet potatoes and threw them to Kalama and others for them to share and taste.

Once it's rotten in a barrel, it will ferment naturally, cover it and simmer for a while, and it will become bad wine, right?

Ozgen knelt down with some excitement mixed with fear: "I will definitely live up to the prince's trust!"

"Ejigen, are your tribe accustomed to being in Jinzhou City?"

Carrying a large amount of traded cotton cloth, sulfur, saltpeter, and other miscellaneous goods.

Although Zhu Youjian will not let the people sent by Wang Chengen to assist in government affairs in the short term, there is no harm in using them.

The result.

For now, these crops are just enriching Nanjing’s dining table.

"Okay, let's sit down and wait for everyone to arrive. I don't want you to have anything else to do. I just want you to eat something good with me."

Zhengheiqi can just incorporate these three crops into the farming plan for the next year.

Now the rangers are sent to resist the safari team of Zhenghei Banner in Tumut Banner.

The changes they have experienced in the past two years are truly earth-shaking.

Standing on the black-flag treasure ship, Kai Maolin let out a sigh, even looking at the port dock with a sense of reluctance.

Passing the same small sweet potato to the maid who was helping the kitchen, Zhu Youjian read the folding while waiting for someone.

The organization has grown and the palace has become chaotic. It really needs people to manage it.

Right now it has to be Jinzhou.

When I finally broke through the city wall of Shengjing and entered the city, I thought this was the whole world. Under the leadership of Wuerte, the Black Flag tribes had reached the top of the world, but now the Nanjing group.

Everything is so fresh, everything is so lively, everything is so prosperous.

He turned to look at the others: "Go get the bowls!"

The importance of complementary foods is unquestionable.

"Da Ming is so good!"

"I will give you some of the new grain brought back from the Ming Dynasty. You open a field and I will send someone to teach you how to plant it. I will plant some. After a while, you will see the harvest and you can consider whether to plant more."

The yields and planting environment of these two crops, potatoes and sweet potatoes, will undoubtedly make these three crops excellent supplementary grains in a short period of time. We can’t see much at the moment, but when they are widely planted, they will naturally alleviate the food shortage in the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent.

Case.

Dozens of people can eat a pot of beef stew with potatoes. If one person can only eat half a bowl, it's good. Everyone quickly put down their chopsticks and spoons and looked at Zhu Youjian, knowing that he had plans next.

Zhu Youjian put down the bowl and stared at himself, and then said directly: "I want to select those who are good at firearms from all the bannermen in my black flag, and formally form a black flag firearms battalion with three thousand members.

Generals are selected during war, and the armaments of the battalion are distributed by the banner, and are distributed during war or training.

In addition, a flag will be set up within our Zhenghei flag called Xiangheiqi. The rights and benefits of the Dingguo of this flag are the same as those of Zhengheiqi. The selection will be conducted through an examination hosted by the sticky pole. Finally, I will personally review it and issue the identity."
