After all, Masinde got the seal of Zangzhou's special mission. In many semi-public places, Masinde would hardly be stopped if he wanted to see them. Just like when he went from Hanzhong to the junction area of Zangzhou and Yanbian, County Wei Mawang was doing drills.
After checking the seal, Masinde did not stop him from watching the drill.
"This training is very good." After all, Ma Xinde also came from Beigui. Although he is not a member of the fifth branch of the Da Yueshi, the Sezhong is also in the mountains, so he was involved in the national conscription system.
Everyone knows how to train soldiers.
So after looking at it for a while, I also saw the clue. The county captain Mawang is a veteran of the Imperial Guard. I'm not sure whether it's a double or triple level, but he is definitely an elite. He teaches the soldiers how to kill the enemy in a serious battle formation.
means.
"It's not bad. According to this training, our county should be in the top three in the military service competition in a while." Ma Wang also expressed satisfaction with his young men. There are many woods and wild animals here, so there are many killing spots.
Wild beasts can also be regarded as training for soldiers.
"Hanzhong itself has strong folk customs. It would be great if it can be ranked among the top three." Yang Pu said with emotion. Yongliang is a very busy place. It is really life-threatening to get a ranking in the military service. Although Hanzhong does not belong to Yongliang
, but after the road was connected, this side was also pulled in and rolled up.
"Brother Yang, you're the one who's coming down this time. Didn't my neighbor come?" Ma Wang looked at Yang Pu and said strangely, then reached out and took a pack of Cordyceps sinensis handed over by Yang Pu. Every time someone comes from Zangzhou,
, would bring a package of Tibetan herbal medicine to people like Ma Wang who were stationed in Yanbian.
"This time we are escorting Biejia to attend the court meeting." Yang Pu's face straightened, and he put away his playful smile. At this time, Ma Wang also realized that the old man with his hands behind his back was actually Biejia. You must know that the Han Dynasty now has many bureaucrats.
With the younger generation, it is rare to see old men serving as officials.
"Don't drive after seeing them." Ma Wang hurriedly came to greet them, but Masinde didn't care. He waved his hand to signal Ma Wang to do anything else, while he carefully observed these young men.
In the end, Masinde basically determined that the traces of military service on the bodies of these young men were significantly less than those of the young men of the Da Yuezhi. It was estimated that they had only begun full-scale military service in the past five or six years. However, the weight and fitness of these young men were obviously better than
The average level of the Dayue clan has basically reached the level of the young and strong people under the jurisdiction of the five noble families.
[It seems that the Han Dynasty has only recovered in recent years, but it still has a solid foundation. The weight and strength can be raised in a short time, but the height is fixed, and the average is naturally taller than that of the Da Yuezhi.] Masinde sees
The young men who were practicing hahahaha were very emotional.
Mawang is a kind of dull soldier, and he doesn't know how to curry favor with others. After meeting Masinde, he found that Masinde didn't ask any questions and continued to lead people to practice. Yang Pu and others wanted to leave, but
If Masinde wants to see it, everyone will accompany him.
The company lasted until noon, and then the kitchen brought several large carts of steamed buns and cabbage, tofu and vermicelli stew. Masinde was not polite and made a bowl himself. After eating, he fell into deep thought.
Not to mention how delicious it was, Masinde also ate a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas. After eating this food, he could better understand the difference between Kushan and Han Dynasties.
"Is there any wine?" Masinde asked Mawang after finishing his meal.
"Although this is just for military service training, alcohol is prohibited in the military camp." Ma Wang refused formally. There was no way, but any soldier who was beaten for drinking would not drink when there was military duty, so Ma Wang
No drinks were prepared.
"Don't drive, go straight east and there is a supply and marketing cooperative. There is wine over there." Yang servant greeted Masinde, "And the variety is very complete, and new ones are often added."
Masinde nodded. As a guy who has lived on the battlefield longer than the average age of people in this era, he would not be dissatisfied with such a serious rejection. He nodded to Ma Wang and left with Yang Pu.
.
After replacing the yak with a pack horse, Masinde lay on the carriage and leaned out half of his body to communicate with Yang Pu, "Do you have any thoughts after coming down from Zangzhou?"
"What do you think?" Yang Pu didn't know why.
"Those are white flour steamed buns and fried vegetables with oily residue, and they are very suitable for people who work." Masinde said to Yang Pu with a smile.
Don't think it's just vermicelli stewed with tofu and cabbage. It can be stewed and fried in animal oil. It's actually quite delicious. At least Masinde knows very well that Da Yueshi cannot do this at all, and when Masinde eats it,
Looking at the expressions of the young and strong people around them, one can also tell that this is a standard training meal, neither good nor bad.
"Actually, we are just diligent and frugal." Yang Pu thought for a while and replied. It's not that they can't afford it in Tibetan areas, but they can't bear it. If you think about it carefully, they can actually live like this, but they are used to living in poverty.
Just reluctant to give up.
Not to mention anything else, there are now more than three million geese in Zangzhou. Although many of them have not grown up, they are a huge wealth. Including cattle, sheep, horses, etc., the wealth of Qingqiang and Faqiang
In fact, it has exceeded any point in time in the past, but they just can't bear to eat and use it.
Masinde nodded after hearing this. After spending so long with Faqiang and Qingqiang, he also realized that these people were actually not poor. The prices of various medicinal materials in Zangzhou were not low and the prices were extremely stable. Therefore, these people
In fact, they all have money, but they are reluctant to spend it.
"Speaking of which, this cook is willing to put in so much oil, why isn't he willing to put in meat?" Masinde asked strangely.
It's all animal fat. It's as oil-absorbing as cabbage and can be pressed with a steamed bun to release the oil. There's no shortage of meat at all. As a result, Masinde didn't see any meat in the dish, which was strange.
Yang Pu scratched his head, "Because some things happened in the past, meat is not included in vegetarian dishes."
Chen Xi had just started to engage in animal husbandry and could supply meat to the army. At that time, meat and vegetables were stir-fried or stewed together. Therefore, when making rice, it was inevitable that someone would eat more meat and less vegetables with one spoonful.
Some people have more vegetables and less meat.
This is the third century, and many ordinary people have never seen meat more than once in their lives. Therefore, when making meals, there were several fights over whether there was more meat or more vegetables. Some people hit the cooks, and some tried to grab the spoons.
, some are dissatisfied that their meat is missing two pieces.
In short, ever since the first time Chen Xi brought meat dishes to the army, there have been constant fights over issues such as more meat and less meat, fatness and thinness, etc.
After Chen Xi learned this, the vegetarian dishes in the army became pure vegetarian dishes, and the meat dishes became pure meat dishes, so as to reduce the number of fights caused by such meaningless incidents.
To put it simply, if we eat chicken nuggets today, except for condiments, it will only be chicken nuggets. We will definitely not add any vegetarian dishes. If we say it is braised pork today, it will only contain braised pork. If we say it is fish nuggets, it will only be fish nuggets. Absolutely.
Don't make those messy things.
"This is really not easy." Masinde sighed with emotion. This is already a luxury trouble that only the Han Dynasty has. If you put Kushan, you can add meat to your dishes. Thank God.
"Yes, later on, because of problems such as fatness and thinness, the managers of the animal husbandry industry specially found people to study how to cut meat to completely avoid the problem of meat bone content." Yang servant nodded heavily, but Masinde only felt that this
It's pure lunacy.
"But it's been relatively easy to deal with at present. It seems that only the fish from the eastern coast are not easy to deal with." Yang Pu thought for a while and said.
The others are not difficult to deal with, but more directly the labor cost is too high. Chen Xi is too lazy to do it. On the contrary, it is fishery. The fish fillets of certain sea fish are easier to process, so he directly cuts them into fish fillets and leaves some with them.
The fish bones of the meat are ground directly using manpower or water power, and the tide meat grinder is used as feed additives.
To be honest, eating this will really make you grow faster, especially pigs that eat everything. They will grow very fast if they eat this, and the fat is very thick, and a lot of animal fat is contributed in this way.
Although in theory, vegetable oil is safer, considering the comprehensive output and transportation difficulty, animal oil is currently easier to handle. Having said that, in the case of the Han Dynasty, some of them are good to eat, not to mention that animal oil is also more convenient.
More fragrant.
"This is really amazing." Masinde said with some complicated emotions. In Masinde's view, compared to the military performance of the Han Dynasty's power, these details are more terrifying.
After all, such a large rear area can continuously support the expansion of military power.
Silently all the way, Yang Pu followed the previous route and took Masinde to the village closest to the military camp. Masinde looked at the seven or eight-meter-high city wall and fell into deep thought.
Servant Yang obviously came here a lot, so he was greeted not long after he entered, and then took Masinde all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.
These days, the supply and marketing cooperative mainly sells various kinds of alcoholic beverages that Chen Xi failed to develop, so Masinde smelled the aroma of wine before he even entered. There was a shed set up next door to the supply and marketing cooperative, and many older men were there.
There we brag and play chess.
Looking at the jars of various types of wine, Masinde had a deeper understanding of the material accumulation of the Han Dynasty. This is a fart, go ahead, the price of wine is so low, this
How much supplies have been stored?
"Just this yellow bar, give me a bowl." Masinde pointed to the most mellow-tasting old yellow rice wine and said. Compared with other fruit wines, Masinde felt that the old yellow rice wine made from millet was the most reliable. This
This stuff has such a long history that even Masinde knows it.
The old man from the supply and marketing cooperative poured me a bowl. In the past, when there was only rice wine, almost no one here could afford it. But now that there are more types of wine, rice wine can’t beat other alcoholic drinks, so I met a man who understood this.
, the old man was also quite happy.
Masinde took a few sips, and the more he drank, the more delicious he felt. Masinde felt that he had almost caught up with the wine used for the five internal banquets of the Da Yuezhi. He couldn't help but look at the old man opposite him carefully. He couldn't tell.
He is also a master brewer.
"Try another one of these." Masinde pointed to the bowl and asked the old man to pour something else. In fact, Masinde didn't know what these things with pomegranate, mulberry, sugar cane, bayberry, etc. were.
What, but Masinde wouldn't mind trying it.
After all, rice wine itself is a semi-sweet wine, and Masinde can naturally accept other wines. Therefore, after tasting them one by one, he has a higher evaluation of the old man who sells wine. He is simply a master of winemaking, although not every wine meets the requirements.
The taste of Masinde is quite good overall.
Especially when calculating the price, Masinde was even more satisfied. It was only about ten cents in total. This was really good value for money, so he had someone carry a jar of rice wine to his car.
In this way, Ma Xinde drank all the way from Mianyang to Xinzheng. He was still sighing that he would buy some next time when he passed by. This wine was really good. Then after Yang Pu finished drinking at Ma Xinde, he felt that Ma Xinde liked to drink this stuff.
Yes, so when passing by another village, I bought another jar of rice wine for Masinde.
Masinde was still a little confused when he took over. After taking a spoonful, he was even more confused. The taste was exactly the same. What the hell was this?
What else could it be? Chen Xi asked Kong Rong and Zheng Quan to take the lead, gathered nearly a hundred big guys who were proficient in winemaking, verified them one by one, and finally came up with a professional and standardized winemaking method.
Rely on luck? Rely on feel? All kinds of messy prerequisites? Please crack them all for me! What kind of water, what kind of temperature, what kind of distiller’s yeast, list them clearly for me, verify them over and over again, and keep improving.
, even if it is large-scale, it is several levels higher than the level of ordinary wine shops.
Coupled with the standardized technology, one pound of millet rice can stably produce two pounds of high-quality rice wine. Chen Xi makes money with tears, ensuring that one bucket of rice can produce four buckets of wine. The result is that the price of wine is basically the same as the price of millet, which is completely different from the old Han Dynasty.
That kind of situation is several times the price of rice.
Masinde is a smart man after all, and he figured out these things quickly. But the clearer you understand some things, the more you can understand the gap between the two sides. This way of concentrating strength of the Han Dynasty may seem simple, but it has experienced political struggles.
, Masinde, who was in self-exile, knew very well how difficult it was to do this with ease, which meant that the political orders of the Han Dynasty were almost completely unified.
"Don't drive, Hanzhong City is ahead." Yang servant greeted the somewhat drunk Masinde. After hearing this, Masinde couldn't help but poked his head to take a look, and then slowly
He shrank back and there was nothing to see. Fulward should give up as soon as possible and stop struggling.
"I don't have any hobbies. If there is something to eat here, let's go directly there. We won't bother the Hanzhong prefect." Masinde said to Yang Pu in the carriage.
Compared with other wise men, Masinde is very down-to-earth and has a simple hobby, which is eating and drinking. However, the Han Dynasty eats and drinks in various ways, which makes Masinde very satisfied.
Especially after it was determined that the Han Dynasty was completely unwinnable with the strength of the Han Dynasty, Masinde, who was originally prepared to show off the princess, gave up the struggle completely. The gap was so big, why fight, just give up.
Take a rest, I've been working for such a long time this week, it's amazing
