Chapter 791
Vitamin
Navigation is indeed dangerous.
During the Columbus HNA era, crew members died in batches and died in tragic circumstances.
In this era, due to ships, there were no large ships that could be built to sail, and only a few ships went to sea.
The reason why Miss Pei Si is so knowledgeable is that she knows her knowledge after going to sea.
Or, she just happened to have this knowledge point.
"...This disease is called sepsis in our doctors, and is usually caused by the body's lack of vitamin C." Xue Mei said.
Everyone: "..."
"Vitamin C is easy to get from your diet, especially oranges and vegetables. Therefore, you should also eat fresh vegetables in winter. The teachings of our ancestors make sense." Xue Mei said.
A few people understood it, but they didn't feel that they understood it very much.
When the Yuan Family HNA fleet set off, Xue Mei wrote a letter to talk about this and gave them more than a dozen bottles of VC. This kind of medical VC is very cheap, and there are also many in Xue Mei's space, with more than 300 bottles per day, just one capsule a day.
In addition to vc, you just bring green oranges and a few wooden barrels to grow vegetables in the wooden barrels.
When Michen set off, Xue Mei also gave the same thing and the same warning to ask them to pay attention to this matter on the boat.
"...The Marquis knows so much." Miss Pei Si smiled. Her voice was gentle, and she couldn't hear whether there was sarcasm in her words.
She showed off her knowledge, but was slapped in the face on the spot without any annoyance.
She got close to the third son of the Yuan family, probably not to get married, but to observe the people of the Yuan family. It is unknown whether this was a request she made or was asked by Prime Minister Pei to do it.
Of course, the third young master's purpose is the same, but he is currently obsessed with Pei Si's beauty and can't extricate himself. He has the urge to dedicate his own background to Pei Si.
"This time I brought back a lot of good things. Brother San, do you want to go home and see it in person?" Yuan Qin asked.
The third young master was obviously confused and if he didn't help him, he might make mistakes inadvertently, making both the Yuan family and Yuan Qin passive, and might even implicate Xue Mei.
Miss Pei Si seemed to understand, and she glanced at Yuan Qin.
Yuan Qin remained silent.
The third young master also realized that he should indeed go back.
"Then I'll go back and see. If I have a good baby, I'll bring it back to you." The third young master said, "Miss Four, Meier, what do you want?"
Miss Pei Si glanced at Xue Mei.
Mei'er?
It seems that the relationship between Xue Mei and the Yuan family is deeper than they expected.
Yuan Qin and the third young master were very close to Xue Mei, as close as children from family friends.
"I don't need anything." Xue Mei smiled, "Where are you, Miss Four?"
Pei Sihuishi: "I will not receive any reward without merit. The third young master is too polite, I dare not accept it."
Yuan Qin was afraid that her brother would make any promises, so she immediately responded: "Then I want some-I heard that I brought back a lot of gems, and I wanted two rubies to make earrings, as big as possible.
The third brother goes home to check it out. If there is one, remember to help me come over. My sister will definitely be grateful to you."
The third young master nodded and said ok.
He went home with great enthusiasm.
A few days later, Jingli heard that the Yuan family's fleet had transported spices and treasures from the other side of the ocean, and many people were talking about it for a while.
There are many families in Beijing who have made the decision to have the ocean, but they are buried in the ocean without exception.
Either the ship was destroyed or all the crew members died of illness.
No one's fleet has ever completely gone to a place with land across the sea and brought back things.
It is already amazing to find an island by chance.
Unexpectedly, the Yuan family succeeded.
Even though they were far away in Mianzhou, it still aroused the curiosity of the people in Beijing.
"I heard that I've been there for three months."
"It is easy to get lost at sea. How do they control the direction?"
"Is the Yuan family's ship so strong?"
The prince also heard about it.
The aides around him told the prince: "The Yuan family's ship of spices is worth 130,000 taels. But they went abroad. The gems and spices they brought back this time were worth more than 2 million taels."
Not to mention the prince, Cheng Lanqing even took a breath.
It's really crazy to make money!
If you do business seriously, you can earn tens of thousands of taels a year, even if it is very awesome.
Unexpectedly, just go out to the sea and make such a huge profit!
The prince was thinking.
He asked Cheng Lanqing: "You said, if I asked my uncle to take me one, will he agree?"
Cheng Lanqing: "If I could walk to the Yuan family for you personally, they would definitely agree. It would be bad if someone else went to say it."
"But you are pregnant and can't move around," said the prince.
Her child was born with a strange phenomenon, which made the prince escape from danger this time. The prince attached great importance to it and neglected everyone, including the princess.
The Crown Princess is becoming increasingly neglected, as if she is virtuous by nature and will not cause trouble.
"It's better to let the Crown Princess go." Cheng Lanqing said again, "She is the wife of her nephew. If her uncle doesn't agree, she can turn around. Besides, she has occupied such an important position around His Highness, so she should also contribute to His Highness."
She subtly told the prince that whoever contributes the most will have the best position.
In the future, it would be better for the queen to be her, not the crown princess Liu.
"She is afraid that it won't work. If my uncle refuses, it will be difficult to turn around." said the prince.
This must be hit in one blow.
Cheng Lanqing: "She hasn't done it yet, how can your Highness know that she can't do it?"
Prince: "…"
He indeed went to ask Mrs. Liu.
When Liu heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Yuan family is neither close nor alienated from us now. At this time, they will not be angry when they go to seize profits from them?"
Prince: "Just be angry and endure it, and all ministers must do this."
The Crown Princess had no choice but to smile and said, "Then I'll try it."
Before she set out to Mianzhou, she went to Zhuang Prince's Mansion to meet Xue Mei, and wanted to ask for advice from Xue Mei.
Xue Mei’s opinion is very simple: “The Yuan family will definitely not agree to the matter of taking profit. The Empress will pay attention to her identity and not offend her both sides.”
Crown Princess: "…"
She sighed.
Xue Mei asked her to come over and whispered a few more words to her, asking her to guide the Yuan family and how to tell the prince later.
Xue Mei, the one who knows the current head of the Yuan family best, otherwise she would not have made a lot of profits from the Yuan family.
After hearing her words, the Crown Princess carefully remembered them in her heart.
Except for the prince, many people are jealous of the Yuan family's profit this time. There are many people going to Mianzhou and they all want to ask if they can get a share of the pie.
Even the emperor heard about it.
The emperor privately asked several confidant ministers and sons what they thought about this matter.
Xue Chi said, "If it is possible to make profits for overseas development, many families will be willing to do this.
If you scatter out, the families’ desire for fields is not so strong. Your Majesty can take the opportunity to implement the new policy. Perhaps, encouraging going to sea is the best policy.”
After hearing this, the emperor agreed.
This vision is quite big, much more brilliant than the prince and the fifth prince.
The prince’s idea was to get involved and everyone made money together; the fifth prince proposed to stop him, so as not to provoke other small countries and would damage the reputation of Chu.
What the emperor needed was to be both generous and beneficial to the State of Chu. The prince's words were too petty, and the fifth prince was too compassionate and did not consider the interests of the State of Chu.
Only Xue Chi takes care of both.
The emperor was very satisfied.
