There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

After receiving the secret order, Wantong and Liu Ju took Zhang Shen and Zhou Zhong back to Shanghai County.

Wu Youwei also met Zhou Zhong for the first time.

Compared with Zhang Shen's thinness, Zhou Zhong is a fat and smiling man.

When meeting Wu Youwei, he was very polite and not overbearing, Zhang Shen was very satisfied with this.

When Wu Youwei was looking at Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong was also looking at Wu Youwei, the former Tanhualang, the imperial servant, and now he is even more missed by the emperor as a small county magistrate.

But what he admired Wu Youwei more was that he really dared to do it!

He didn't know what Shanghai County was like before, but he knew that several nearby counties were not very good, but Shanghai County was the only one that was no better than the capital city, but it was no less than the location of any government office in Dazhou.

After everyone met, they sat together and ate fruit to cool off the heat. They ate cantaloupe, which was planted in early summer, and it was almost August now, so it was natural to eat it.

Although it is almost the beginning of autumn, Shanghai County is still very hot. They sat on the stone table and bench under the tree and chatted. It's herbal tea.

Wu Youwei asked people to search for herbal tea recipes, found several, selected two of them, and synthesized a recipe with a good taste.

Ali is used to drive away the summer heat of the people in the military camp, and they usually drink it by themselves.

Wantong told Wu Youwei about the secret order, which surprised Liu Ju and Zhou Zhong, but Zhang Shen looked like an old god.

The two wisely kept silent.

After finishing speaking, Wu Youwei thought for a while, took a melon and gnawed it, and then said: "Champa is a good place. The place where the people of Zhan used to be was Xianglin County in Rinan County in the Han Dynasty."

The other four were taken aback.

This kind of thing, to be honest, is rarely mentioned.

"Later, Qu Kui (also known as Qu Da or Qu Lian, also known as Shili Moluo), the son of Gongcao in Xianglin County, killed the county magistrate, proclaimed himself king, and began to establish Champa. The king monopolized the power. Shi Limoluo And the monarchs of successive dynasties tried to expand northward, and had frequent wars with the Central Plains dynasty that ruled northern Vietnam. But they also paid tribute to me and traded with me from time to time." Wu Youwei did not feel satisfied after eating a melon, so he took another : "The History of Champa..."

He knows about Champa because he once pointed out to Lauren the importance of Champa rice.

In later generations, the famous hybrid rice is said to be the wild rice species of Champa rice, which was developed after many experiments. It is the masterpiece of Mr. Yuan.

At that time, there was not no famine in the world, why did China not have it at that time?Because China has Yuan Longping and hybrid rice.

He once checked the historical materials of Champa.

I still remember it very clearly, and now I just said it to them: "The climate is warm and hot, without frost and snow, and it often smells like April and May. The vegetation is evergreen, and the mountains produce ebony, Jialan incense, Guanyin bamboo, and Jiangzhen incense. The ebony is very moist and black. , surpassing those from other countries. Jialan incense is only produced in a large mountain in this country, and there is no other source in the world. Its price is very expensive, and it is exchanged for silver. Guanyin bamboo is like a thin rattan stick, with a length of seven or eight feet, like an iron one. Black, with two or three knots in every inch, he can't get out. Rhinoceros tusks are very wide....

Champa, as the first stop of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and as an important node of the Maritime Silk Road, Champa is also able to shine in Southeast Asia because of its rich products.....

After Wu Youwei finished talking about Zhancheng, he also ate six melons.

"Why are you so familiar with this place?" Liu Ju was dumbfounded. To be honest, as Jin Yiwei, they may not know this information so clearly.

"Reading, big brother!" Wu Youwei said: "A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. I am also a flower explorer, and I read a lot in the Imperial Academy. Besides, I have seen Zheng Gong's nautical chart. The first of them The place to replenish the water source is Champa.

"Champa is not such a small country as everyone imagined, that place is particularly rich." Wu Youwei said: "Also, the nearby island countries are rich in copper, silver, gold, precious stones... .”

Although the islands in the south may not look very big, they are rich in gold mines. I remember that at this time, no one has collected those gold mines yet.

The eyes of the three listeners were bright, but Wantong was thoughtful.

"If we can recover the land lost during the Han Dynasty..." Wu Youwei rubbed his belly: "That would be amazing, the land in that place is gold!"

The eyes of the three people were like a torch, and Wantong's eyes also lit up.

But Zhou Zhong asked suspiciously: "These... how do you know? Presumably the books will not mention the things under the ground, right?"

This tone is quite quack.

"A few of my masters mentioned it...they walked there." Wu Youwei thought for a while: "I still remember the map they drew for me!"

Wantong smiled, what master?They are all non-existent people, but he still thinks it is true, um, there are really "Masters".

But the other three people don't know!

Everyone was born in Jinyiwei, or in the palace. There are some secrets that others don't know, but they must have heard about them.

Therefore, there was no doubt at all, but he was interested in the map that Wu Youwei said.

Especially Liu Ju: "It would be great if there is a map!"

When fighting, having a map and not having a map are two different things.

Especially on island countries in the sea, it is very important to have any landing ports in such a place.

Yes, I will give it to you in a few days. "Wu Youwei rubbed his belly: "What do you eat today?" "

"When I came in, I saw the butler asking someone to carry crabs to the back kitchen." Wan Tong said, "Maybe they were drunk crabs?"

Drunken crabs are very famous, they have to be made seven days in advance, and there are only two large jars in the back kitchen for marinating drunk crabs. If you buy crabs at home, you must make them and eat them, but most people don’t eat crabs because there is little meat. .

Only when guests come, they will treat them. Crabs are sweet and delicious, and they are most suitable for drinking and chatting.

And the drunk crab is out of the jar, so naturally it needs to make up for it.

Sure enough, at night, drunken crabs, steamed pork knuckles, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried spinach with meat appeared on the table.

A large pot of ginger clam soup, the staple food is golden pancakes.

Because it is rare for everyone to get together, and in the middle of the week, it was discovered that Wu Youwei was really the same as Zhang Shen said, without airs at all, and he was different from ordinary scholars. All are treated equally.

During the meal, we talked about the navy again.

The naval army has almost been formed, and what they are looking for is all the soldiers of the coastal guards. They grew up by the sea since they were young.

Half of the Wusong camp had experienced great victories along the coast, but they had never been to the sea, and had experienced real water battles.

So this rare opportunity, it is okay to bring some people, but you can't relax if you stay behind, because the autumn harvest is about to come, and after the autumn harvest, it is time for the pirates to land.

have to guard against.

The coastal victory in spring is still vivid in my mind.

Both pirates and Japanese pirates have suffered greatly in Shanghai County.

"Liufen Military Camp is guarding Yingdao and Wusong Camp's camp." Wan Tongdao: "Half of Zhenwei Camp is guarding Shanghai County, and the remaining half goes to sea with the navy of Wusong Camp."

This decision was passed at the dinner table, and Wu Youwei, as the commander of Shanghai, also wanted to give some support to the expeditionary army.

At that time, I was thinking, what should I bring with me?

medicine?

eat?

Or clothes?

When they settled down at night, the three of them lived in the guest courtyard, but Wantong lived in the main courtyard.

Zhang Shen went to bed as if nothing had happened, but Liu Ju chatted with Zhou Zhong for a while before going back to his room.

But in the middle of the night, Wu Youwei ran to the bathroom.

Even though he already had a rather modern toilet, Wu Youwei didn't want to suffer from it.

After running several times in one night, he failed.

Wantong woke up during his second trip and poured him warm water to drink; after the fourth trip, Wantong couldn't help but want to call the doctor over.

"What doctor is it called?" Wu Youwei said, "I have spiritual water, just take a sip and it will be fine."

Sure enough, after drinking a glass of spiritual water, his symptoms were relieved, but he had a hard time. The next day, because there were guests, Wu Youwei barely got up, but he was a little listless.

No matter how good the spiritual water was, it could not make up for his spiritual loss.

"What... what's the matter?" Mr. Pian Pianjia, who was talking eloquently yesterday, is now acting like a plague chicken?

"I was greedy yesterday, and I had diarrhea." Wantong gave Wu Youwei a bowl of millet porridge. No one grows millet here, and the millet was brought by the family. It was grown at home and used for their breakfast. By the way, Wantong also took a boiled salted duck egg for Wu Youwei, peeled the shell and put it in Wu Youwei's porridge bowl: "It hasn't stopped all night."

In fact, it wasn't, but Wantong didn't want people to speculate about what panacea Wu Youwei had in his hands, so he had an idea and changed his rhetoric.

Wu Youwei lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge, sweeping his brows and drooping eyes. The porridge was a bit sweet, with white sugar in it.

"Yesterday? Oh, I ate drunk crabs." Zhou Zhong nodded: "Wu Shidu also ate cantaloupe beforehand.

Cantaloupe and drunk crab cannot be eaten together, it will cause diarrhea.

"He ate six melons!" Wantong said dumbfounded, "He also ate half a plate of drunk crabs."

It's all something that everyone can see, can you not have diarrhea?

"Your Excellency, you still love food so much?" Zhou Zhongle said, "It will be great if you have experience in the future!

"I thought I shouldn't have diarrhea after drinking ginger and clam soup..." Wu Youwei said sickly: "Who knew that my stomach would start rumbling in the middle of the night."

The two of them talked for a long time, but Liu Ju didn't move while holding the porridge bowl. He thought more comprehensively. Magistrate Wu had diarrhea in the middle of the night, how did Master Wan know?

Do they live in the same yard? ?

Also, what does Master Wan's posture mean?

Wantong had already dug out the yolk of the duck egg and put it in Wu Youwei's bowl, and he ate the duck egg green of the salted duck egg with millet porridge.

Several drawers of steamed stuffed buns were brought over. There were meat and vegetarian ones, and Wantong distributed the vegetarian ones to Wu Youwei, while they ate steamed stuffed buns filled with fresh shrimp and meat.

Wu Youwei is greedy!

"You can't eat greasy food, let's talk about it after two or three days when your stomach recovers." Wantong gave Wu Youwei a small steamed stuffed bun with vegetarian filling: "Eat it."

Wu Youwei glared at him, knowing that he was well, and he was not allowed to eat meat. When did this person turn bad?

Wantong didn't care about that. When Wu Youwei was tossing around in the early morning, he was in a hurry. He didn't think of Lingshui and wanted to find a doctor. Fortunately, Wu Youwei was not feeling well at that time, so he didn't laugh at him for missing it. Proper, scooped out the spiritual water by myself and drank it

But fortunately there is spiritual water, otherwise this person will suffer.

He couldn't control his mouth, stuffed everything into his stomach without even thinking about it, yesterday he was too busy listening to him, and didn't stop him from eating cantaloupe.

If he had known that drunk crabs could not be eaten with melons, he would not have let him eat Hesai like this.

Liu Ju's eyes widened.

Zhou Zhong was also a little silly, unconsciously holding the porridge bowl in his hand, and drank the porridge in mouthfuls, but there was no side dish with it, and he swallowed mechanically in his mouth.

This... what's going on here? ?

Zhang Shen ate his breakfast on his own, looked up at Zhou Zhong, and secretly kicked his feet under the table: "Try this side dish of cold tofu skin, it's very authentic.

"Oh oh oh!" Zhong Zhou hurriedly took a big bite of side dishes, um, I was overwhelmed.

Liu Ju also bowed his head, and began to eat seriously, eat!

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the food is the biggest. What can you do if you don’t have a full stomach?

Wantong raised his head and glanced at them, the cold light in his eyes...flickered away.
