Chapter 325: Let the people of the Tang Dynasty eat meat and eggs every day

Fang Xuanling was in the carriage, looking around as he headed south, with a satisfied smile on his face.

The fields along the way were all filled with dense cornfields.

The beautiful green scenery made him feel relaxed and happy.

"This magical seed can produce seven shi per mu. In a few years, it will be popularized all over the country, and the people will no longer have to worry about starvation."

Arriving at Lanqiaoyi, Fang Xuanling got off the bus and the first thing he saw was, "Why is the water level of Lanxi River so low?"

A group of postmen carrying bags happened to pass by. Although they did not recognize Fang Xuanling, they saw that he was dressed in an extraordinary manner, so one of them stepped forward to explain, "Master Chen has built a reservoir on the mountain."

"Oh."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard suddenly, and then asked the postmen, "Where are you going?"

"We have received military orders and are going to serve in the front."

This made Fang Xuanling wonder, "Why is this?"

The Tang Dynasty does not lack soldiers, so why do they need to send these postmen to the front lines?
"I have learned a lot from Master Chen and was recruited to serve as a military doctor."

The "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" is not a theoretical book, but a practical operation book.

In particular, there are many courses on battlefield first aid, which are very useful.

Li Er certainly knew all these things. After the assessment, he immediately transferred all the postmen to the army and replaced them with a group of new people.

The fate of these postmen also changed as a result.

If Chen Ran had not come here to teach them skills, their lives might have just passed like this.

But now, he has acquired skills and has become a respected military doctor as soon as he joins the army, and all the postmen are very happy.

"Very good." Fang Xuanling praised them and watched the postmen leave.

He retracted his gaze and walked towards the new post station, smiling as he passed the cornfield.

Then, I saw a group of people busy building a large wooden structure by the river.

He stepped forward to look and met an acquaintance.

"Duke Yi?"

"Fang Xiang?"

Qin Qiong dusted off his hands and came over to greet him.

After chatting for a while, Fang Xuanling pointed to a towering wooden structure not far away and asked, "What is this?"

"Master Chen said that this is used to pump water." Qin Qiong pointed to a building with a fence and earthen wall not far away. "Pump the water over there, and then drive some connecting rod device, which can drive those machines that grind cornmeal and stamp armor. I don't understand the details, I just heard that."

Fang Xuanling's eyes were startled. "Armor?"

The major affairs of the country are only sacrifice and military affairs.

Military affairs are related to the survival of a country, and in the era of cold weapons, armor is of paramount importance.

Fang Xuanling was greatly surprised, and immediately took Qin Qiong's hand and walked over there, "Take me to see it quickly."

As soon as I entered the factory, I saw the hammer of the stamping machine constantly hitting the iron plate.

Qin Qiong stepped forward and called out to Chen Ran, who was directing the workers to constantly change the position of the iron plates, "The Minister Fang is here."

Chen Ran turned his head to look over, and Fang Xuanling stepped forward to greet him, "Greetings, Taoist Master Chen."

'I met the historical figure Fang Xuanling. He was good at scheming and had outstanding abilities. He was regarded as a wise minister by all dynasties and was known as "Fang's strategy and Du's decision". The only regret in his life was that he gave birth to a son who was not worthy of his love.'

'Note: You can modify two of the words.'

When he saw Fang Xuanling, the first thought that popped into Chen Ran's mind was.

"Is this Fang Yiai's father?"

Fang Xuanling was very famous, but his second son Fang Yiai was even more famous.

Of course, Fang Yiai's fame mainly comes from the grassland hat he wears.

Rumor has it that when Fang Yiai's princess wife was having a tryst with a monk, Fang Yiai actually took the initiative to keep the door open.

This kind of manly integrity really makes people who like grassland hats call him "our role model~~~"

What’s even more outrageous is that this kid actually dared to rebel. I really don’t know what he was thinking.

"Fang Xuanling?" Chen Ran raised his eyebrows. "You don't know how to educate your son."

Fang Xuanling was stunned at first, then his expression softened.

If I hadn't asked for help from anyone, I would have walked away by now.

It is really a shame to say that a father cannot teach his son.
He coughed twice and stared at the hammer that kept falling over there. "Excuse me, Taoist priest, what is this?"

"Hydraulic forging machine." Chen Ran nodded. "For making armor."

Fang Xuanling' (︶︿︶)'

You are so brave to say that you are making armor in front of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty!
In various dynasties, sometimes civilians were not prohibited from possessing weapons and bows and arrows, but the Tartar dynasty was not one of them.

However, armor, an important military weapon, is absolutely not allowed to be owned by private individuals.

Chen Ran saw what he meant, smiled and said, "I am a law-abiding person and will not rebel. This was prepared by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"Oh~~~"

Fang Xuanling nodded and asked, "How is this water-forged chicken made?"

Chen Ran smiled again and explained to him, "This kind of armor is not scale armor, but a whole piece of plate armor."

"The prerequisite for making armor is to make iron plates."

"The Tang Dynasty is currently using the simplest smelting technology, which is to directly cast the pig iron into an iron plate."

"This technology is simple, but it has many problems. The iron plate has a lot of impurities, and it is naturally not compact, loose and porous, so it lacks strength."

"If you want to improve the quality, you need to remove impurities in the iron plate through forging, and make the iron plate tighter to enhance its defense." "The hot air furnace increases the furnace temperature and reduces costs."

"The power of a hydraulic hammer is cheap and plentiful"

“The final result is a high-purity solid iron plate.”

Chen Ran’s words were simple and clear, and Fang Xuanling could basically understand them.

As for the result, the sight of those half-body armors made of brand new iron plates made his eyes sparkle.

"Good, good, great." Fang Xuanling nodded repeatedly. "My Tang soldiers are wearing iron armor and will dominate the world."

"This thing."

"Li Er has come to see it." Chen Ran shrugged. "I have given him all the relevant information. This is just a place for training workers."

"Oh, right." Chen Ran looked at Fang Xuanling and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Fang, are you interested in letting your son Fang Yiai come to study here?"

Fang Xuanling looked at him in surprise and doubt.

It is naturally a good thing to come to Chen Ran to study. After all, he knows that one can really learn real skills here.

But this person specifically asked for Yiai to come, could it be
Smart people are like this, they always like to use their imagination.

In fact, Chen Ran simply changed "giving birth to a son and leaving his love to him unfilially" to "giving birth to a son and leaving his love to him knowingly".

"At this time, I will go home and discuss with my wife before making a decision."

"Oh." Chen Ran showed a look of understanding, "I almost forgot that you are henpecked."

Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu, also left her name in history books and left behind an allusion to "jealousy".

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling's expression became even uglier.

"This man is so poisonous that he dares to call Your Majesty Li Erzhen. If he is not a man of great talent, he will be punished!"

Fang Xuanling, with a gloomy face, was about to leave, but Chen Ran stopped him.

"Since we are here, why don't we have a meal before leaving?"

"That's annoying."

Nowadays, people at Lanqiaoyi basically no longer eat at the table, but instead eat from a big pot.

When Fang Xuanling was queuing up for food, he looked in amazement at the cornmeal, large slices of pork belly, a few pieces of chicken and an egg in his rice bowl.

"This, this, this"

Fang Xuanling, who was always known for his scheming, stuttered a little when he spoke, "How come the food is so good?!"

"It's been busy lately, harvesting corn and planting rapeseed." Chen Ran explained, "Forging and other things are all physical work, so there are extra meals. I don't eat so much on weekdays."

"It's still a bit too much." Fang Xuanling felt a little better.

After all, everyone agrees that people eat better during the busy farming season, and it’s really tiring after all.

After finding a bench to sit down, he casually asked, "What do people eat here on weekdays?"

"These are the things in your bowl. They rotate every day. That is, during the busy farming season when you are doing manual labor, these things come out together."

Fang Xuanling, who was about to eat, stared at the pork belly, chicken and eggs in his bowl in disbelief.

“We eat meat every day here?!”

In this era of low productivity, many people can rarely eat meat a few times a year.

In fact, let alone in ancient times, even in the modern world, good days only last for a short time.

In the modern world, even a worker in a city decades ago only had a few pounds of meat.

What kind of family conditions does it take to eat meat every day in the Tang Dynasty?
The nobles can certainly do it, but the common people of the Tang Dynasty...
"it's not a big deal."

Chen Ran responded while eating, "When large-scale breeding of Northeastern pigs and white-feathered chickens is launched, people all over the world will be able to eat meat and eggs every day."

He had realized that the biggest advantage of these things produced by the system was disease resistance.

Whether it is corn, rapeseed, pigs or chickens, the most feared thing is disease.

Especially swine fever and chicken plague, once they break out, everything will be doomed.

But what the system provides is super disease resistance, which is the most important thing.

Looking at the people around him happily eating, everyone had a full plate of rice, meat and eggs. Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and saluted Chen Ran solemnly. "If the people of the Tang Dynasty can really eat meat and eggs every day, the Taoist priest is a living god! He will be worshipped by the people of the Tang Dynasty for eternity!"

Chen Ran smiled and pointed to Sun Simiao who was not far away, "That one is the living god. He is busy dealing with cowpox recently."

"Cow, cowpox?"

Fang Xuanling knew Sun Simiao, but he didn't understand what Chen Ran meant.

Chen Ran, who was busy eating, casually replied, "It's to prevent smallpox. After it is fully deployed, smallpox will completely disappear."

Fang Xuanling staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He didn't even bother to eat, he rushed over and grabbed Chen Ran's arm, asking anxiously, "But is it true?!"

"do not ask me."

Chen Ran signaled to Sun Simiao who was serving food over there, "Go ask him."

Sun Simiao was also depressed. He was tired after working for a long time and wanted to have a good meal. However, before he could even start eating, Fang Xuanling dragged him away and insisted on asking him how smallpox was eradicated.

He had no choice but to explain it.

After that, Fang Xuanling was left there crying alone with tears streaming down his face, while he was busy eating.

In fact, when he first learned that smallpox could be completely prevented and controlled, his reaction was even worse than Fang Xuanling's.

As for now, Sun Simiao touched the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" on his chest, his eyes full of firm belief.

"I will definitely eradicate all the diseases listed above!"
