Training Tai Sui

"This is what we call Daqin, they call it Rome, and the country in the middle is Dashi."

"And this place was called Shendu in the Han Dynasty, and it was also called Tianzhu. Ah Ying, you should know something about this place. This is the birthplace of Buddhism."

This is not Qin Feng's nonsense. It is no secret that Sui worshiped Buddhism. It is said that Yang Jian was born in Prajna Temple and was raised by a nun when he was a child. Therefore, the Sui royal family is very close to Buddhism.

"Daqin, Dashi, Shendu, and Sui are now the four largest countries in the world. The rest, such as Goguryeo, Wa, and Linyi, are just small countries."

"And there are still many unowned lands in the world, where there are only some savages, such as this big island."

Pointing the pointer in the direction of Australia, Qin Feng casually said: "In terms of geography, this big island is even bigger than the Sui Dynasty. It looks extremely desolate and uninhabited. There are only some savage-like aborigines, but it has abundant resources. .”

Hearing the word "resources", Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently, "Brother Ziyu, are there any resources above that I, Da Sui, can use?"

"Iron!" Qin Feng said solemnly: "According to the annual output of iron mines in the Sui Dynasty, the iron on this big island cannot be dug out for thousands of years."

"Thousands of years?"

Yang Guang and Wei Zheng looked in disbelief, their eyes were fixed on the map, wishing they could take this big island immediately.

Wei Zheng is younger, but he clearly knows how important iron is to a country.Not to mention Yang Guang, the descendants of the royal family were more precocious than the children of ordinary people, coupled with the experience of managing the craftsman camp these days, Yang Guang knew very well how much Sui wanted iron.

Qin Feng smiled triumphantly. He felt that it was necessary to pour cold water on these two guys, so he said, "Don't think about it for now, just look at the distance between Tai Sui and that island. The whole big island capsized."

Yang Guang was a little frustrated when he heard this, and said, "Brother Ziyu, aren't you a tosser? There is a big mine in front of you, but you can see it, but you can't touch it. This...my brother feels uncomfortable."

"Then say something tangible."

The pointer is heavy, Qin Feng said: "This is also an island..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Guang suddenly felt a little dissatisfied: "You know, the country of Wa is not as big as the two counties of the Sui Dynasty, and the place is as big as a projectile. Even if there is iron, how much can there be?"

Qin Feng shook his head and said: "There are indeed mines here, but not iron."

"It's not iron, is it copper?"

Yang Guang was a little moved. Copper is money. No matter what era it is, would there be people who think that money is too much?

"Not copper."

Qin Feng turned around like a prank: "It's gold and silver!"

"I don't know how much gold there is, but there is a lot of silver, so much so that the Japanese above can use it to build a house..."

Qin Feng actually doesn't know how much money there is in Japan, but this does not prevent him from exaggerating. The important thing is to successfully arouse Yang Guang's interest in this place.

"Build... a house?"

Yang Guang and Wei Zheng's mouths are so big that they can swallow an egg, forget about Wei Zheng, he is a poor boy, even though he has a good life after becoming a teacher of Qin Feng, he still has no idea about money.

But Yang Guang is different. Even if Yang Jian doesn’t want to see him anymore, he is still a serious prince and king of Jin. Having said that, that prodigal son Shi Chong is not so extravagant, is he?

The imperial palace is just coated with a layer of gold powder on important places. How rich is this tiny place?

"And here." Qin Feng moved his pointer, and re-pointed at a place and said: "Gaoguryeo, together with Shiwei, the Sui Dynasty must regard this place as a place of bitter cold?"

Like the Khitan, Shi Wei is a nomadic people on the grasslands. The most important thing is that the territory they occupy is nothing but the three eastern provinces of later generations, which is a treasure land!

Wei Zheng and Yang Guang nodded in unison. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, that place has always been a barren land, not to mention the cold weather, and there is no way to grow anything, so the barbarians on the grassland have nowhere to go, so they regard it as a treasure. The Central Plains Dynasty never put that place in their eyes, okay?

"But what if I tell you that there are also countless iron ore and coal here?"

Charcoal is coal, and almost no one uses it these days. Poor people use firewood for heating in winter, and rich people use charcoal. What is the use of coal?

But iron is different. No matter which dynasty or generation, iron is a hard currency. When copper is not enough, it is common to use iron to cast money. Not to mention the military to build weapons, armor, folk iron pots, and agricultural tools. Iron ?

Yang Guang didn't believe it: "Brother Ziyu, are you serious? My younger brother has also read a lot of books about Goguryeo, but he didn't say that they had iron ore there. On the contrary, they sent envoys to the Sui Dynasty every year to pay tribute and ask for a mutual market."

"They know nothing!" As soon as this matter was mentioned, Qin Feng became angry and said angrily: "Look at Liu Laoshi, the craftsmen of the Sui Dynasty were treated like this, how can there be good craftsmen in Goguryeo? There are no good craftsmen , even if there is a golden mountain in front of you, can you find it? Do you think the iron ore itself will write a label on the ground, I am iron ore, come and mine me?"

Well, I have never won an argument with Qin Feng, Yang Guang obediently closed his mouth, and continued to listen to Qin Feng's explanation, but his thoughts drifted a little far away unknowingly.

Chapter 75 Shock and awe

in the kitchen.

Ever since Qin Feng taught Chunniang how to cook, he seldom comes to the kitchen, but today is different.Since Cao Pengcheng sent a lot of 'red gold' on behalf of Liu Fang, he felt that it was necessary to show Cao Pengcheng that his Qin family village was definitely not short of money.

This is not pretending, let alone swollen face to pretend to be fat. In Qin Feng's view, this is a matter of face. More importantly, if you marry someone else's daughter, at least you have to show that his daughter will not suffer with you, right?

As a document of the Heyin County government, and because of his age, Qin Feng should have accompanied him in person, but since Jin Wang Yang Guang was present, it would definitely not be appropriate for you to let an aide sit at the same table with Jin Wang, and Cao Pengcheng himself did not dare He was so presumptuous, so he could only be accompanied by Qin Feng's eldest disciple Wei Zheng and the housekeeper Qin Hua, sitting at the bottom of Qin Feng's table.

"Dare to ask Mr. Wei, what is this thing?"

Qin Hua came to the table reluctantly, and his identities did not match. Cao Pengcheng could only look at Xiaodouding Wei Zheng and ask his own questions.

Wei Zheng was neither humble nor overbearing, and said calmly: "Returning to Mr. Cao, this thing is called a crab. The crab roe is delicious and has an endless aftertaste. It is beneficial to Qi and has the effect of dredging the meridians."

Don't look at Wei Zheng's calm face today, but he still remembers that when Qin Feng tricked them into eating crabs, the functions of nourishing yin and nourishing yang, invigorating the spleen and strengthening the kidney, etc. Ding, he was really embarrassed to say that.

Hearing this, Cao Pengcheng stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a little crab roe, and carefully put it into his mouth. He felt that it was delicious, even better than that of river fresh food. Leaving aside the authenticity of those functions, the taste alone is the best in the world.

"Mr. Cao, let's try this. This is salmon. The meat is also extremely delicious. What's more rare is that this fish is not a river fish, but a sea fish."

Cao Pengcheng was a little moved. Daxing City is not close to the sea at all. Unless there is an emergency of hundreds of miles, and ice is used to preserve it along the way, otherwise the sea fish will stink and turn into salted fish when they arrive in Daxing.

More importantly, today I came here temporarily without prior notice, which means that these things are definitely not specially prepared for him, which is actually quite scary.

Those aristocratic families in Daxing City might not be able to eat fresh sea fish every day, right?

"Mr. Cao, try this. This is braised beef. The cow is a cow that died normally. His Royal Highness Jin Wang can testify, so there is no need to worry."

"Try this again. This stew is my teacher's favorite dish. It tastes quite good despite the miscellaneous ingredients it uses."

"And this, this thing... my teacher called it ham, I heard it was marinated from a whole pig's hind legs... Don't worry, this pork has no fishy smell, on the contrary, it is fatty and tastes quite good. "

"This is..."

Cao Pengcheng looked at Wei Zheng, and said slowly, "Young Master Wei, I think there are some cooking methods...why have I never seen them before?"

In addition to stewing and roasting these days, the most you can do is fry them in oil.

Wei Zheng thought so in his heart, but he said modestly: "Mr. Cao doesn't know something. His teacher often teaches us that the master has a saying that he never tires of fine food and fine meat, so he invented the method of these dishes himself, called stir-frying. "

You and your mentor are both talented people who can talk about gluttony in such a fresh and refined way.

After eating a meal, Cao Pengcheng felt that he was a bumpkin, including his master, Heyin County, who was also a bumpkin.

Could it be that he stayed in that remote place in Ganzhou for a long time?
