After everyone shouted 'God bless Tang Ge,' the deputy general and the others stared at the box, wanting to see what other divine items were inside.
They felt that their little hearts could not take it anymore.
Then, Fang Xuanzi carefully cleaned out the potatoes. There were about ten of them.
When he saw the other seeds, he asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, may I ask what kind of seeds these are?”
Li Bawang looked into the box and pointed at the seeds in Fang Xuanzi's hands.""This is chili. It's a bunch of food condiments. It can also be considered a Chinese dish. When it's paired with meat, it'll definitely be delicious.”
"Your Highness, may I ask how much per mu of this plant is produced?" asked Fang Xuanzi.”
Alright, Li Bawang expressed his helplessness. He was planning to grow some chili peppers to make hotpot or something to improve his diet.
Food?
Therefore, he said helplessly.
"This thing isn't grain. I don't know how much it produces per mu.”
Fang Xuanzi could only put down the chili seeds in disappointment when he heard that they were not grains.
Li Bawang could also see that the ancients 'obsession with food was simply incomparable to modern people.
Then, he picked up the other seeds and introduced them. There were tomatoes, cabbages, and other seeds.
However, when everyone found out that it wasn't a grain seed, they were disappointed. However, Fang Xuanzi sighed,""How can there be so much food and celestial items? It's already a blessing to have two of them. With His Highness around, why should I worry about not being glorious?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After a moment of lamentation, Fang Xuanzi took out some seasonings. After Li Bawang explained them one by one, he knew that they were all ingredients for food, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
In their understanding, was seasoning needed? Only good things could make the people full.
However, when he saw the bags of beautifully packaged white powder, he seemed to know what it was. He couldn't help but exclaim,"Your Highness, is this salt?"
When the others heard the salt, they couldn't help but surround him again. When Old Cheng saw it, he said in disbelief,"How can this be salt? How could there be such snow-white and fine salt in the world?”
However, after he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment. Only then did he remember that the prince in front of him had come from the sky. What was so strange about such snow salt?
"Your Highness, Snow Salt!"
Li Bawang nodded and said,""This snow salt isn't much. Don't even think about it. At most, get someone to send some to Second Brother.”
" However, I do have a way to make clean salt. Although it's not as good as it is now, it's definitely many times better than the salt I use.”
"This method can only be used to refine mineral salt. I also have a method to make sea petrels. That is the real way to make salt a daily commodity. You can have as much as you want. However, if you want to make sea salt, you have to plan carefully.”
Sun-drying sea salt was a must, but the technical requirements were also very high. Moreover, it could only be done by the sea. This would definitely cost a lot of manpower and material resources. It was even necessary to have the army stationed there.
Therefore, it would not be easy to dry the sea salt in a short period of time.
However, mineral salt was different. As long as one found a salt mine, dug it out, boiled it again, and filtered the impurities, it was still possible to obtain clean coarse salt. At most, it would consume some manpower and firewood.
The filtering process was not complicated. Li Bawang had seen many feasible methods given by the great gods on the Internet. They were all very suitable for ancient technology and productivity.
"Refining? Salt can be refined. Could it be that His Highness used the Art of Turning Stone into Gold?”Fang Xuanzi said happily.
The deputy general hesitated for a moment before he finally made up his mind and said,"Your Highness, can you pass down the snow salt refining technique? If we can get this technique, our soldiers won't have to suffer so much in the war, and our people will remember Your Highness 'merits.”
The others looked at Li Bawang with hope.
One had to know that for nobles, refined salt was not considered a particularly rare thing, and there were many good refined salt produced.
Although it could not completely satisfy the consumption of the nobles, it was not surprising.
However, salt couldn't satisfy the consumption of the entire Tang Ge. The common people and even the army couldn't use salt in many cases. Even salt filled with sand and various impurities couldn't be obtained.
They usually used a kind of salty vinegar cloth.
That thing could not be considered salt at all. It could only be said to have a salty taste.
If they didn't eat enough salt, they wouldn't be able to do physical labor. For an army, how terrifying would it be if they didn't have strength?
In fact, Li Bawang had a certain plan before he transmigrated this time. He was prepared to make something out of salt.
Whether it was for Tang Ge's consumption or for trading with other races, it was a very good thing. It could also bring a lot of income to Li Er.
Therefore, he couldn't help but say," I have a detailed record of the method to refine salt. I will take it out. However, I don't want this thing to be leaked.”
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Xuanzi asked for instructions and then shouted at the soldiers outside.
"Men, find someone who knows farming in the village to see if these things can be planted now. You must protect these potato and corn seeds well. If they are damaged, bring them to me. If the farmers in the village dare to slack off, their entire families will be killed.”
Fang Xuanzi's imposing manner was definitely not weaker than the vice-general and the other generals. Although he was a civil official, these powerful people in the early Tang Dynasty, even civil officials, were not weaker than generals in military affairs. They were not like the civil officials in the Song and Ming Dynasties who only knew how to fiddle with pen and ink.
Li Qing looked at everyone and said,""This general requests His Highness to increase the number of soldiers by 1,000 to guard the Imperial Villa and to screen the population of the Imperial Villa again.”
The others nodded. Old Cheng said in a very spicy tone,"Investigate the three generations. If there is anyone who is not true, kill them all and punish them.”
"I suggest that everyone send a general to guard the Imperial Villa.”Li Qing suggested again.
After some discussion, the vice-general was chosen to be stationed there. After all, he was very close to Li Bawang.
"Your Highness, please keep this method of refining salt well. We will report it to the Crown Prince first before making a decision.”
After the coup of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Li Er became the Crown Prince very quickly. It was just that he hadn't ascended the throne yet, but he would soon.
Next, Fang Xuanzi began to write a report, preparing to report everything that had happened here to Li Er in detail.
Other than reporting to Li Er, he also wanted Li Er to decide how to show Li Bawang his merits.
After all, Li Bawang's crops, such as potatoes and corn, would definitely shock the entire Tang Ge and change the form of food since the Three Royals and Five Emperors.
If the yield per mu was really so, then it would be a great merit to achieve a sufficient amount of food.
As for Li Bawang's reward, they could not make any suggestions at all. They could only let Li Er decide.# Date:08 24 2019 4:30PM
