Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Jiang Qi heard from Ning Bai that Jiang Tuan was not used to eating the meals in the palace, nor was he used to eating two meals a day.

If he did a good enough job, and the people of Daxia lived a prosperous life with everything they had, Jiang Tuan would not be uncomfortable with it.

After Jiang Tuan finished crying, he felt a little embarrassed when he heard what Jiang Qi said: "How could it be your Majesty's fault? I am too ungrateful."

Jiang Qi’s self-blame is real, and Jiang Tuan’s embarrassment is also real.

Daxia didn't even have tofu, and even salt had to be made with great difficulty. One can imagine how low the production was. He shouldn't use the standards of his previous life to measure this ancient world. That was unfair.

The world he lived in had developed to the point where he could eat four or five meals a day, with each meal being different. This took not just a day or two, but thousands of years of effort.

If he had not come, it would probably take thousands of years for the world of Daxia to develop into that state.

But now he is here, and although the system he brought is a little useless due to lack of energy, it will eventually get better.

Look at him now, isn't he eating tofu pudding? Take your time, there will be fried dough sticks and steamed buns, as long as he works hard, he will have all the delicious food.

After another small episode, the tofu was finally made.

After asking the eunuch to take the tofu out of the mold, Jiang Tuan asked Ning Ling for a knife. He looked at the color of the knife and asked, "Don't you have any other knives? An iron knife, a stone knife, or a bamboo knife will do if you don't have one."

When Jiang Tuan asked him for a clay pot, Ning Ling didn't think too much about it, thinking that it would be inconvenient to use bronze utensils to make what the other party wanted.

When the other party gave His Majesty a pottery bowl, he felt something was wrong. As an emperor, His Majesty should use bronze utensils.

He wanted to change it, but Mr. Jiang was faster than him and brought it directly to His Majesty. Seeing that His Majesty didn't care, he didn't say anything more.

Now the other party didn't even want to use the bronze knife in his hand, but wanted to use another knife. He felt that he needed to ask.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with this knife?"

Jiang Tuan looked at the knife, not knowing whether he should say it or not. He knew that in his world, at a certain period of history, bronze ware was something only the nobility could use, and it was a symbol of identity and status.

At this moment, if he suddenly told these Daxia people who also regarded bronze ware as a symbol of status that the bronze ware they used were poisonous, he wondered whether they would believe it or think he was exaggerating.

Out of this concern, Jiang Tuan did not tell the reason in front of everyone, but walked to Jiang Qi.

Since Jiang Qi already believed the gods' instructions in his dreams and did not kill or burn him to death, he chose to believe them and secretly tell them things that could not be said in public.

"Your Majesty, can I have a few words with you in private?"

Ever since Jiang Tuan appeared, everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty who had seen him felt that they were encountering more and more strange things.

Just like now, they actually saw someone openly telling the emperor that he wanted to have a few private words with the other party. This was really unimaginable.

Of course, this is not a big deal, at least not for the emperor himself. He even thinks that this is a sign that Jiang Tuan is beginning to accept him.

Jiang Qi took the initiative to walk to Jiang Tuan, wanting to hear what the other party would say to him.

Jiang Tuan looked at the emperor who was a head taller than him, and felt a little sad and angry. Wasn't it said that the living conditions of the ancients were poor, so they were generally not very tall?

He is 1.777 meters tall, so if we round it off, we can confidently say that he is 1.8 meters tall, which is not considered very tall nowadays, but is not short either.

However, when he arrived in the Great Xia Dynasty, he felt like he had entered a country of giants, and everyone seemed to be taller than him.

Even the little prince he had just met had a younger face and was not short at all. In fact, he looked even taller than him.

Not to mention the emperor standing next to him. When he looked up, he could only see the other's chin. This was outrageous!

He stood on tiptoe and said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, can you lower your head?"

Jiang Qi saw Jiang Tuansheng's hopeless expression and understood everything at once. He wanted to laugh but was afraid of making the other person angry, so he held back his smile, leaned down silently, and listened attentively.

"Well, your majesty, that bronze knife is poisonous."

As a person in a higher position, as an emperor who had been assassinated many times, when Jiang Qi heard the word "poisonous", two thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

The first thought was, who poisoned him? The second was, how long had Jiang Tuan just appeared? Could it be that someone knew about it? How could they be willing to poison him?

Jiang Tuan didn't feel the emperor's anger and continued speaking.

"In fact, it's not just knives. Pots and bowls made of bronze are all poisonous."

"What is bronze? Do you mean gold? Why are they all poisonous? How can they be all poisonous?"

Jiang Qi was angry when he first heard that it was poisonous. But when he heard Jiang Tuan call the bronze products bronze ware and said they were all poisonous, his anger turned into doubt.

He thought, no matter how powerful the person who poisoned the food was, it was impossible for him to poison all the utensils in a place like the palace with strict rules. Could it be that no one noticed?

If it is so easy to poison the palace, then what is the point of him being an emperor? He might as well just lie down and wait for others to kill him.

Besides, how much poison would be needed to poison all the valuables in the palace?

It’s no wonder Jiang Qi thought so. In ancient times, diet and medical care were not well developed, and poison was not very advanced either.

To be more precise, in the era when chemistry was not well developed, it was very difficult to purify poison.

This means that most poisons require very large quantities to achieve a high toxicity, and such large quantities of poison are not easily available.

In response to Jiang Qi's doubts, Jiang Tuan gave him a brief explanation of the methods of making bronze ware and the harmful substances contained in it.

When saying this, he couldn't help but think of a sentence that people often say on the Internet: if you watch more videos, you can always learn some serious knowledge.

He saw some information about the production methods of bronze ware and the dangers of using bronze ware while browsing his mobile phone.

At that time, he also speculated that the reason why Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of all ages, died so early, in addition to being ill and being tricked by alchemists into taking elixirs, was it related to his long-term use of bronze ware?

However, before he traveled through time, the tomb of Qin Shihuang had not been opened, so naturally he had no idea of ​​the real cause of his death.

"Jiang Tuan, do you mean that these tools made by Ji Jin are harmful to people?"

Jiang Tuan nodded: "Mercury and lead are added during the bronze processing process, that is, quicksilver and lapis lazuli.

Long-term use of these instruments may cause heavy metal poisoning, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, death."
