0039 Shen Langli
The situation in July of the second year of Taining was unpredictable, which made everyone in the game feel as if they were charming.
Wang Dun, the general of Zhendong who was once powerful, was defeated and killed the corpse. The body and his corpse were hung on the vermilion truss with his corpse.
Just as people thought that the Wang family of Langya was about to decline, Wang Dao was promoted to Taibao, and Situ Ruyuan recorded the Shangshu affairs and was granted the title of Duke of Shixing County. The other Wang family officials had their own officials and were as proud as before.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he thought the storm had passed, and everyone was caught off guard by another imperial edict from the court. The emperor pardoned the world, but he did not pardon Wang Dun's remaining party, and sent the generals to encircle and destroy the pacification. At the same time, those who had been Wang Dun's staff were imprisoned and were not allowed to serve as officials.
As soon as this edict was issued, people were in panic. When Wang Dun was in power, the famous scholars from north and south had all had surrenders to Wang Dun, and if all the involved people were imprisoned, the involvement was too great. Many of the officials in Taiwan had reasonable arguments, but they could not change the emperor's intentions. Soon, the Liyang Neishi Su Jun became the champion general and supervised the military affairs of the counties in Jiangbei, Yuzhou, which was very murderous.
In mid-July, the situation changed again. The troops of the governor of Yanzhou Liu Xia were stationed in Hefei due to the exhaustion of food, and the soldiers were mostly plundered. This incident shocked the court and the public. Everyone knew that the refugees were rebellious and difficult to control, and they all speculated that it was Liyang and the Yanzhou two tribes were about to merge.
Ji Zhan, General of the Cavalry, wrote a letter to the Three Wu Grain Floods, and at the same time, the scholars of Wu Hui also wrote a letter to request himself. The court issued an edict and ordered the former Zong Zhengqing Yu Tan to be General Yingyang to supervise the Yi Shi's money and grain to go north.
General Shen Chong of Andong was appointed as the Marquis of Wuyuanting for his achievements in raising grain, but he refused to accept it. At that time, the riots gathered in Kuaiji to stumble on the countryside and disrupted several counties. Shen Chong was appointed as the inner historian of Kuaiji, supervising the military affairs of Kuaiji, Linhai, and Dongyang. All the riots were pacified. He was appointed as the Marquis of Wukang County and was transferred to the General of Fujun, and the rest remained the same.
It is August, and the autumn colors are getting darker.
During this period, Shen Zhezi has been living in Ji's mansion. On the one hand, it is convenient for Ge Hong to help him to take care of his body, and on the other hand, it is also trying to accompany Ji Zhan, who has great kindness in his family.
The situation gradually became calm, and although there were still undercurrents between the government and the country, it had nothing to do with Shen Zhezi. For example, the issue of the relief commander's repatriation, the emperor's order to grit his teeth and not let go, and the issue of gradually depriving the power of the Fangzhen power under the control of Wang.
These problems are complicated, and each item is enough to affect the changes in the court. But they have nothing to do with Shen Zhezi today. Besides, even if he wants to interfere, he does not have that much energy, so he just sits there and watches the show.
Although Shen Zhezi was a little surprised that his father could play a role in the refugee Liu Xia, he was not too surprised. The current situation was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that even if his father could serve as the Inner Historian of Kuaiji, he would not have the power to supervise the military and become a "bicycle county magistrate" who did not take charge of military affairs.
After a period of rest, his health improved a lot. Ge Hong is worthy of being the leading health expert in this era. He will not pour talisman water like those fake Taoist priests who deceive the world and steal reputation, but will gradually improve his physical fitness through his catering routine.
Now, Shen Zhezi has to eat five meals a day, eat less and eat more, and the ingredients are also diverse. He was under great pressure before and was unwilling to eat. Now that he has relaxed, he has also become leisurely and easy to observe the eating habits of the people nowadays.
As a time traveler, even if he is rich, he always has to look for business opportunities and opportunities to open his golden fingers. However, what disappoints Shen Zhezi is that he really can't find a place to show off his skills in diet for a while.
The ingredients are already very rich nowadays. In terms of vegetables, leeks, cabbage, radish, lotus root, rapeseed, etc., seasonings, onions, ginger, garlic, and coriander are all complete. Perhaps the names are different, but they are not luxury goods nowadays. Even if some of them are common in later generations but not now, Shen Zhezi can't get the seeds.
As for cooking techniques, Shen Zhezi remembers that some time travel novels wanted to make cooking special books, but they are not very good at present. At least he doesn't think he can cook more delicious than the current chefs.
As for the tea drinking habits criticized by later generations, perhaps Shen Zhezi had a tricky taste, he even thought that the tea soup nowadays tasted good.
Shen Zhezi was not very discouraged because he failed to find a chance to show his skills in food. On the one hand, he did not intend to do so, and on the other hand, he did not light up this skill himself, and he was not a Michelin chef before traveling through time.
Given his tireless exploration of diet, Shen Zhezi turned to care about his body. Ge ** taught him a trick of breathing, which was not a profound internal skill, but just controlling the rhythm of breathing, mixed with deep breathing, so it was naturally impossible to develop internal strength, but it was very refreshing.
What Shen Zhezi couldn't accept was that Ge Hong seemed to love chrysanthemums, so he soaked it in wine and simmered it and applied it. Shen Zhezi didn't know what the specific medicinal effect this had, but seeing Ge Hong did this, he followed him and felt a little nauseous at the beginning, but after accepting it, it had a unique flavor, and even burping it would bring a chrysanthemum smell.
In short, although his body gradually improved after recuperation, he always felt that this little fairy man did not come up with any skills that made his eyes shine. He wanted to see Ge Hong refine the alchemy, but Ge Hong was too lazy to satisfy him.
He didn't gain much knowledge from Ge Hong, but Shen Zhezi himself had the ability to make the little fairy man look at him with admiration. One morning after getting up, he recalled doing the eighth set of radio gymnastics. After finishing, he found Ge Hong standing next to him with a scrutinized expression on his face, and even asked Shen Zhezi to do it again.
Although Shen Zhezi felt quite strange in his heart, he looked very accomplished as he followed behind him to learn radio gymnastics.
"It can relax muscles and promote blood circulation, but the posture is a bit vulgar."
After learning, Ge Hong left with his sleeves. This attitude made Shen Zhezi a little unhappy, and even had the urge to use a killer weapon like square dance.
Shen Zhezi had no embarrassment when he had been living in the Ji family. After the news of his apprenticeship was sent back to Wuxing, his father soon sent someone to send a generous gift. In addition to the wealth and utensils, there were dozens of servants in the households.
Although these servants brought their families, they did not add pressure to the Ji family, but they had their own skills. Some were good at farming, while others were good at planting mulberry brocade, casting and carving, gardening and grafting, breeding and hunting, and all kinds of skilled workers were skilled in all kinds of skills.
When large manor management is prevalent, such a group of people can maintain the production of two or three manor industries, which is definitely a generous gift. This kind of department with each skill is the basis for the economic privileges of the gentry, and its importance is even higher than that of the land.
Chen Chong waved his hand to send so many talents, even with Ji Zhan's calmness, he expressed his joy in front of Shen Zhezi. Although he had no external requests, his grandson Ji You still had to run the family business. With this manpower, the Ji family could prosper more and more.
Although Shen Zhezi still had some resistance to the father's behavior as a gift, he had to admit that although these wealthy households do not have independent human rights, relying on large households is indeed more stable than establishing their own businesses.
The imperial court repeatedly made a breakthrough, which violated the interests of aristocratic families, but was not a good thing for these dependent populations. For the common people, there were too few production resources that could be mastered, and the taxes and labor service they bear were too heavy. This is a social problem and could not be solved day and night.
However, Shen Zhezi had the idea of improving productivity, that is, the curved plow. This tool is simple to construct and is very significant for human power savings. It is especially suitable for small farming in small plots of small households in Jiangnan. Although it is also beneficial to large estates like a family that encloses land, it is obviously not as important as the common people.
Finally finding a technical advantage from later generations, Shen Zhezi was very excited. He immediately started drawing sketches and asked craftsmen to create them. He didn't remember very clearly about the specific size of the tool, so he could only improve it again and again, and solicit the opinions of skilled farming farmers. After all, he was not an expert in this field.
While renovating agricultural tools, Shen Zhezi also paid attention to confidentiality work. Although this technology has no monopoly value or significance, only by pushing it to all sides can the effect be shown.
But he had a lot of dreams in his heart. This was a significant technological progress in the history of farming. If it could be completed in his own hands, it would be quite fulfilling. He had already given this farm tool a name, which was called Chen Langli.
Although it feels a bit strange and does not conform to the mainstream values nowadays, Shen Zhezi enjoys it.
Of course, there is also a little inhumane thought. He planned to present the finished farm tools to the court. On the one hand, the court will promote them faster. On the other hand, there are many time travel predecessors who use this thing to exchange for official titles, which makes Shen Zhezi a little jealous.
Although the title of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was just that true, the mosquitoes had flesh on their legs.
The idea just came into being in my mind, but Shen Zhezi didn't expect that he would have the chance to meet the saint immediately.
