This King Zhou is not stupid

Some people may think that it is just chili, so they are so surprised.

Then I have to explain here, because it is cold in winter, if you go out, you may freeze to death or frostbite if you are not careful, and chili is to prevent frostbite. Eating chili can warm the meridian and dispel cold, promote blood circulation and remove stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain; Rubbing hands with chili water can also promote blood circulation in hands.

Moreover, pepper can not only be used for medicine, but also has a good seasoning effect. It is a common spice, and the amount used is more than salt.

"Okay, this is a great achievement. This thing is handed over to the Ministry of the Earth for planting. General Lu Xiong has worked hard, and we can wait for a while before we start."

"No, the old minister can't rest yet!"

Although Lu Xiong's beard has turned gray, he is still strong. He patted his chest and said: "As a general, I cannot use martial arts, but I can go deep into the mountains and forests to find this strange crop for the king, which can be regarded as playing my role. "

The civil and military officials were also moved. Although the old general Lu Xiong was not a veteran of the third generation, he had devoted himself to it.

Such awareness, people can not help admiring it.

Di Xin was also impressed. He sat on a high place and said, "Old General Lu Xiong is so enlightened. Gu is very pleased. Someday I will give you a gift with what Old General Lu Xiong found."

When it comes to eating methods related to chili, it is naturally hot pot.

This is a must-have product for winter, and like dumplings, it is a method of nourishing food with food.

It's just that this year is not good, and the chili peppers will not grow until next year. Lu Xiong collected a lot of original chili peppers and handed them over to the local experts for planting. Within three years, all wealthy merchants could eat chili peppers.

After the end of the court, Di Xin also came to the planting base of Yin Shang in person.

This place belongs to the management of the Ministry of Land, and most of the employees are human races, and there are also some herbivorous monster races and plant monster races. Just like the factory buildings for breeding animals, the size of this place has also been expanded by formations.

And according to the different environments required for planting plants, the areas where they are placed are also different, and the aura is also different everywhere. There are special gathering arrays for areas that require a lot of aura.

Pepper is a crop that can be grown without aura, and it is in the outermost area.

"Spells are really useful. Other people's caves are used for retreat, and mine is used to grow grass." Di Xin couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it.

"My lord, how should I grow this new crop?" The local monks who got the chili seeds were all puzzled.

"It's enough to bury a few grains in a hole one by one. The crops this time do not have high requirements for living conditions."

Growing peppers is quite simple. Once the pepper seeds are buried in the soil, just wait for them to germinate.

This kind of crop has strong vitality. Di Xin once saw a chili seedling growing out of the cesspit of the school, and what he saw at the time was very depressing.

"Ah, I know about this new crop." A rabbit demon looked at the pepper seeds and stuck out his tongue.

"Tongue hurts when you eat it, it's not delicious, bah bah!"

The monks in the Earth Department tried not to smile in front of Di Xin, but Di Xin smiled instead.

He pointed at the rabbit monster and said: "Hahaha, you rabbit monster knows how to eat, but you can use this thing very much, it is a necessity for people's livelihood."

"I don't know." The rabbit demon also said shrewdly: "But what the king said is necessary for people's livelihood is what is necessary for people's livelihood."

The rabbit demon is very good at flattering, and Di Xin doesn't like it.

"Gu said that it is a thing of the people's livelihood, and it is a thing of the people's livelihood? Ha, this is not bad, after all, Gu picked it out of the countless living beings and countless flowers and plants."

After Di Xin laughed for a while, he put away his smile.

He said to the prefectural officials who were still by his side: "Okay, now you can go to work. The scale of pepper planting can be larger, and more ordinary people can be sent to pick it after the red fruits are produced."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Di Xin nodded, and the order has been issued. It is estimated that with Jiang Ziya's management efficiency, the people of Chaoge will be able to eat cheap chili within a year, and within three years, there will be chili trade in the entire Yin Shang territory.

Chapter 180 Seven: Father and Son Can't Bath Together? Then Wash Separately

There is never a surplus of food. Except for the little surplus left by ordinary farmers for the next year's food, the rest of the food is basically sold.

People in cities and towns who do not work in agriculture will definitely buy rice noodles, but correspondingly, they often also have some other skills, such as blacksmithing, carpentry, weaving, etc. In this era when meat and vegetables are still vegetables, rice noodles are the staple food after all.

The next winter is the focus.

Winter is also divided into cold and warm, and it is easy to survive the warm winter, and it is normal for thousands of people to freeze to death in the cold winter, but Di Xin will not let the fate of the people be controlled by heaven.

Four seasons are a must, even if there is no black bird, there are still four seasons.

But Di Xin hadn't spoken yet, but the other ministers did.

"Your Majesty."

On the Longde Hall, E Chongyu stood up and said: "Dozens of towns in the southern capital have been built, and more than a million people have new homes. I would like to thank King Ende again."

"This is a matter of solitude, why should Nan Bohou be grateful all the time?"

"The thing that belongs to the king is the blessing of the people of the world. Today, I would like to ask the king to come to the southern capital to gather in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month. There is a hot stone spring in the south. Even in the cold winter, it is still as hot as soup, and the spring water is endless. It is very effective in relaxing the tendons and activating collaterals, I hope that I can entertain the King there."

Nanbohou E Chongyu may be the most loyal minister in the Longde Hall at this time. Di Xin owes a lot to Di Xin for the rescue of millions of people in Nandu, and it is impossible for him to murder Di Xin.

"Hot Rock Springs..."

Di Xin probably knew what it was.

'It's a natural hot spring, it's not too common. '

The hot spring, Di Xin used to soak in it before traveling, and it was in a famous hot spring city in the north. Let alone it, it is really different from the ordinary big bathhouse.

Even the consumer price is scary. Compared with the big bathhouse that costs five yuan for a wash, it is a world of difference.

"Speaking of this, I suddenly had an idea in Gu's mind, maybe it can make the winter easier for the people of the world."

All the ministers looked at E Chongyu together.

What are you talking about!You are afraid that the king will be cold, so you can't send a few more beauties to warm the king's bed, why don't you mention hot stone springs!

"The bathing pool in the palace, after thinking about it, I finally feel that it is too empty."

'Is that all?Majesty, is that all you want to say?Your Majesty, you can't do it anymore. All the ministers also sighed in their hearts.

Sure enough, the king doesn't have new ideas every day.

"Your Majesty, everything in the imperial palace is naturally more luxurious than ordinary houses, which is in line with the status of the emperor."

"Yes, Your Majesty, if the bathing pool is empty, please invite a few more ladies to bathe with Your Majesty."

Bang!

As soon as the ministers finished speaking, Di Xin slapped the table in front of him.

"Yes, Gu and Aiqing think the same, so Gu decided to build public baths in the major villages and towns around Chaoge, with separate baths for men and women, so as to prevent the people of the world from having no hot water to bathe in the cold winter."

The minister who spoke at that time had the urge to slap himself on the mouth.

'Why am I so talkative? ! '

Yuzao was very comfortable watching from the side, and finally someone could understand her pain.

"But I don't know if there are any taboos about taking a bath together. For example, father and son cannot take a bath together, and teachers and students cannot take a bath together. Come, it's time to test the literary talents of all lovers."

"Oh!"

Shang Rong immediately walked out and said: "My lord, although this happened, but I think it's not a big problem, we can't take a bath together, so we should take a separate bath."

Di Xin looked at Shang Rong, this minister should be the most conservative one, why is his thinking so flexible now.

If you can't take the same bath, you can wash it separately. Don't think the reason is very simple, but some ministers just couldn't think of it, and they are ready to speak.

But Shang Rong's voice changed, and he asked again: "It's just your majesty, this bath is only for the royal family. If it is passed down, will it lose the majesty of the emperor?"

Di Xin got up, and said with a serious face: "The majesty of the emperor is for foreign enemies, lawbreakers, and threats, not for his own people, the people of the world, and the officials in the palace."

He walked down the white jade steps step by step, which also meant that he temporarily let go of the majesty of the emperor.

"Although Gu is a human emperor, he is also a mortal. There is only one person, and that lonely person bears the title of 'Human Emperor', and he is a sad person after all. The 'Human Emperor' is the real Human Emperor!"

[Qi Family]: Enable family members to work together and live in harmony.

A family does not talk about two different dialects, in addition to loving themselves, they must also love others. This is the correct approach.

Di Xin's palms passed the shoulders of Shang Rong, Huang Feihu, Wen Zhong and other ministers with heart, making these ministers pay more attention to their own image in Longde Palace.

Even Fei Zhong, You Hun, and Di Xin took two shots.

"If all the lovers understand this truth, can that bath represent the emperor? No, it is that he is wearing lonely clothes, sleeping on a lonely bed, and sitting on the Longde Hall. , without all the people in the world, he is just a pathetic person after all."

Di Xin's every word was vividly heard, which benefited all the ministers physically and mentally.

"He does not have the virtues of a human emperor, and does not act as a human emperor. Even if he has the power of a human emperor, what can he do? All the people in the world will eventually overthrow him, and a new human emperor will be born, just like the fall of Xia and the prosperity of business."

"Your Majesty understands righteousness deeply, and ministers are ashamed of themselves."

Shang Rong knelt down on his knees at that time and said: "The matter of the bath is also old-fashioned, and I didn't think about it."

"The prime minister is serious, get up quickly."

Di Xin went to help Shang Rong himself.

"The prime minister's words and deeds are all considered. The matter of the bathing pool is also related to the majesty of the royal family. If this is the case, let's make the private bathing pool simpler to avoid violating taboos."

Shang Rong's eyes also brightened.

That's right, most of the bathing pools in the imperial palace are magnificent and rich, with a palace as a decoration, incense burners and gauze tents are indispensable, which is a waste of money.

The ordinary baths are made more crudely, so it’s fine.

What he didn't know was that Di Xin never thought of making the public bath too complicated. Two or three large pools supplying hot water are enough.

In fact, the Shang Dynasty already had pipelines. Everyone knows this kind of pipelines. They are bamboo pipes hollowed out from bamboo, and they are absolutely sufficient for short-distance transportation of hot water.

Don't even think about the shower, the principle is simple and correct, and it is also the principle of the horizontal plane.

But transporting hot water to high places is the most troublesome thing, and asking monks to transport water is overkill.

It's not as good as the old way, let the people in the bathtub pour water on their heads with a spoon. Dixin still had this bathing method in the last century before traveling.

And in the hot bath, even if you are naked, you will not get frostbite.

"If all the lovers have no objections, Gu will arrange work for the Ministry of Land."

"The minister has no objection."

"it is good."

Di Xin clapped his hands.

"That's it."

Chapter 180: At the beginning of winter, the soup will finally become the soup

Taking advantage of the fact that winter has not yet arrived, the bathhouse was built ahead of schedule. The bathhouse could have been built in one month according to the construction speed of ordinary people, but now it only takes two days for the local monks to take the time to build it.

However, personnel management is required after construction, and construction workers who know how to build are poached by the Ministry of Land, so ordinary construction workers are not squeezed too much, but the status of construction workers who know how to build is improved a little.

These days, knowledge is power. No matter whether the knowledge is learned from books or handed down by the ancients, useful knowledge is good knowledge.

But this time, the district and the villages and towns within Chaoge Baili also built bathhouses.

According to the size of the population, the size of the bathhouse is different. Although the construction confiscated a penny from the people, it would cost money to go in and take a bath.

In Songjiazhuang, Song Yiren stayed in front of the bathhouse for a while, but still couldn't tell what the newly built shop was for.

He walked into the shop and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is built here?"

"Yo, isn't this Boss Song?"

The store is still preparing for the opening, and when they see the big celebrities in Songjiazhuang, they naturally greet them with smiles.

"This is a newly built public bath by the Ministry of Education, would you like to come in and take a look?"

"Okay."

Song Yi's family is also rich, and everyone wants to please him, even if he does business with him, he will not worry about food and drink.

After walking into the bath, there is a lot of space inside. Although there is no formation to expand, the ancient shops are not small. In addition, the land in the countryside is very wide, so the space is not too stingy.

"This bath is divided into men and women." The shopkeeper explained from the side: "The men's bath is on the left, and the women's bath is on the right. There is a thick wall in between. Boss Song, which side should we look at first?"

"Of course it's a man."

Although the bath is not open yet, Song Yiren still doesn't want to take a second look at the woman's bath.

There are too many taboos, and it is easy to be gossiped.

"In fact, the structures on both sides are the same." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Walking into the man's side, first there is the dressing room, where there are many cabinets with numbers written on them, and there are special personnel to guard the cabinets.
