Lin Yueru is not a stunning city, but she has a rare temperament.

This kind of temperament is not the cuteness of the ladies and ladies, nor the dignified of the wealthy ladies, but an extremely confident temperament. This kind of self-confidence is not the confidence in the nobility of one's family background, nor the confidence in one's beauty and appearance, but a kind of self-confidence that can be common in later generations of professional women.

Sitting in front of her, drinking soy milk and eating fritters together, Li Jing seemed to have returned to the afterlife all of a sudden, following her mentor who was only over 30 years old, and she had already started from scratch and single-handedly built the daughter of the president of a high-tech company with hundreds of millions of assets listed companies. When she ate with her a few times, she brought herself the same feeling as Lin Yue now.

Lin Yueru's attitude towards people is a little frivolous if it is said from the perspective of this era. I talked to a man I had only met once, and then we came to eat together. However, Li Jing believes that Lin Yueru is by no means a frivolous woman. This should be related to the profession she is engaged in, doctors can break the routine, not to mention that she is still a famous doctor, she usually talks a lot when she practices medicine, and she is used to talking to men on an equal footing.

The two of them were eating breakfast and chatting casually. Lin Yueru is still a person who is good at chatting, and Li Jing knows Lin Yueru's identity, so he took the initiative to say something about hospitals and medicine, which made Lin Yueru even more pleasantly surprised. Because although Li Jing does not have superb medical skills, he has insights into medical skills and even hospitals. Inadvertently, something always comes out of her mind.

"That's right. Li Gongzi also studied medicine? ”

"I've learned a little bit of fur. Isn't there a saying that if you are not a good look, you are a famous doctor? ”

"Since Childe is no longer studying medicine, he plans to be a good man?"

"It's cold in the heights! It's just about doing something in the local area. Li Jing said with a smile.

Lin Yueru's eyes were even more surprised after nodding, seeing that Li Jing was only in his early twenties, as long as he was not as good as himself, he was just a young man, how to say it was like a middle-aged man full of wisdom.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Li Jing a few more times. This look. But it made her cry out in surprise.

Li Jing's clothes, she didn't look at them carefully, she thought it was just ordinary fabric, but now after a closer look, she found that it was not ordinary clothing at all, but white folded cloth. Especially looking at his bulging clothes, which seem to be filled with down.

White folded cloth, this is more valuable than silk, wearing a silk dress is not unusual, rich people can do it. Even now even these prohibitions for ordinary people. None of them complyed. But the white cloth can not only be worn by money, but mainly because the white cloth is too scarce. There is no market for it at all. And look at him, not only his clothes are white folded cloth, but even his hat, gloves, and shoes are all white folded cloth.

At this moment, Lin Yueru couldn't help but be surprised, the person opposite was no longer an ordinary rich, at least a huge rich or a noble person. Thinking of his previous understanding of the medical hospital, an outsider is even more familiar with the operation of a new type of hospital like Dengzhou Hospital than her, the director.

She couldn't help but be a little more curious and inquisitive when she looked at Li Jing.

"Since Childe knows my identity, but doesn't introduce his identity, it's a little unfair." Lin Yueru said with a smile on her face.

Li Jing knew that she must have guessed her identity, even if she didn't win, it would not be far away.

It doesn't matter who you are, and it doesn't matter if you say it.

Li Jing smiled, "Since Mr. has guessed it in his heart, what does it matter if I say it or not." ”

Hearing Li Jing's answer like this, it confirmed Lin Yueru's guess in her heart, and she showed respect at the moment.

Li Jing could see that Lin Yueru's respect for herself came from the heart. This may be because of some of her own changes in medical treatment, which makes her respect for herself. At the very least, the establishment of a medical guild, the integration of all medical centers and pharmacies, and the establishment of a guidance and supervision body will be a promotion for the entire industry. In particular, the general hospital established by Li Jing has changed the practice of medical centers for generations, and even divided departments and set up hospitals integrating outpatient, inpatient, teaching and training, and pharmacy, which is a kind of help for teaching medical skills and treating patients. Especially accepting women to study medicine, she admires Li Jing even more.

The two talked a lot, mostly about the hospital and the patients.

This meal, Li Jing can be regarded as a good harvest. Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is something that involves everyone. Li Jing is now busy developing the Zhenguo Army, and has just solved the problem of eating, dressing, and now the problem of curing the disease, which is also a big problem.

At this time, illness is a big problem, and even illness means death. Although there are many births, there are many more who die young. If the probability of premature death can be reduced by 10%, the number of new births can be increased by countless people every year. However, this is a long-term problem, and it is not something that can be changed immediately by building one or two hospitals and training a few more doctors.

After breakfast, Li Jing got up to see Lin Yueru leave.

Before leaving, Lin Yueru said to Li Jing with a smile: "Soy milk fritters, tea eggs, and that soup dumplings are really good, Xie Lu Xie recommends it." ”

"There are more delicious foods in Dengzhou, and if you have the opportunity, you can go together to pay for them."

"Then I have more questions for you." Lin Yueru replied generously, and waved her hand away.

After Lin Yueru left, Li Rang suddenly appeared from the side, startling Li Jing.

"The weather is really getting colder and colder day by day, Dashuai, you see that I have been frozen here all morning today, why do you have to give me a set of cotton clothes when you go back." Li Rang shrunk his neck, his hands kept rubbing his palms, and his lips trembled.

Li Jing was unmoved, and pointed to the four-wheeled carriage in the corner.

"It's comfortable to have a charcoal fire in the carriage just now!"

Li Rang immediately smiled and said, "No, I've been standing here to let Master out." In case others see that Master has an appointment with a beautiful woman. In case it reaches the mouth of which teacher. I'm afraid that Master's life will not be easy. ”

"Okay, you Shichiro, you still dare to threaten me. Well, how about a set of padded coat closures? ”

"One set is enough, at least ten!" Li Rang said triumphantly.

"Are you wearing one? When you go back, you take two sets, and if you don't have more, you will die one. ”

The master and apprentice joked for a while, and finally got to the point.

"A few days ago, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences reported that it was a potato medicine with a yield of 20 stones per mu. Taro can also produce 20 stones per mu, what is the specific situation? Li Jing asked. Although it is said that there is no shortage of grain in Dengzhou at present, in the long run, Dengzhou's locally produced grain is completely insufficient for self-sufficiency, and it must constantly rely on grain purchased from other places. Therefore, for Li Jing, anything that can make people eat a full belly is worth paying attention to.

"Let's get in the carriage and talk." Li Rang invited Li Jing into his luxury four-wheeled carriage, which had plenty of space in the carriage, and the two of them could sit in it while drinking hot tea. You can also talk while lying half-down.

"Potato medicine was originally used for medicinal purposes, but there are also many people who cook vegetables and even make food. The people of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have studied for a long time, and after selecting the breeding seeds, if they choose sandy soil cultivation and take care of them carefully, the yield of this potato medicine can even reach 3,000 catties, but if it is widely planted, it should be able to reach 1,500 to 2,000 catties per mu. ”

"Can you make it a staple food?"

"Shennong's Materia Medica" is listed as the top grade, replenishing deficiency, removing cold and heat evil qi, replenishing the middle and benefiting qi, growing muscles, and serving the bright ears for a long time; Another medical book says that yam helps the five internal organs, strengthens the muscles and bones, keeps the peace of the mind for a long time, and the main body discharges sperm and forgetfulness. There are also medical books that think that yam can benefit kidney qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, stop diarrhea, dissolve phlegm and salivation, moisten the appearance, potato medicine is dried and pounded finely, the food is beautiful, and the body is lightened for a long time, and it is not hungry and prolonged. It can be used medicinally, but it can also be used as a staple food. It can also be cooked with corn, rice, wheat, and flour. Even if you eat it alone, you won't have a problem. Li Rang replied seriously.

"What about the preservation problem?"

"Potato medicine is more troublesome to preserve, and it can only be stored for about 10 days after digging it out. However, if you store wood chips or other dry storage, you can store them for about three months. If you dig a pit in the sand and bury it, it can be stored for half a year. If it is stored in an ice vault, it can be stored for three years. In addition, it is sliced and dried, and porridge is cooked while eating. Li Rang replied.

Li Jing pinched his chin, it is not realistic to eat yam alone, but yam can be eaten as a vegetable, can also be used as medicine, and can also be used with grain to make porridge. This should be regarded as a kind of miscellaneous grain, and for the Zhenguo Army, whose grain production is insufficient for self-sufficiency, his high yield is very attractive. Even if one mu does not produce 3,000 catties or 2,500 catties, it can produce 1,510 catties per mu, which is ten times the yield of other grains.

Li Jing couldn't help but remember that in later life, he had heard his grandfather often say that in those most difficult days, when there was a shortage of food, he ate vegetable porridge. Use radish or sweet potato with a small amount of rice to cook dry porridge, but in fact, there is very little rice, mostly radish or sweet potato. Although it was not as delicious as rice, it allowed the family to survive that time.

In fact, Li Jing also ate vegetable porridge when he was in Wang Li Zhuang, and many people actually did this. White rice every day, this is something that I dare not imagine, two meals a day, eat dry when I am busy, and usually eat thin. However, at present, the people under the Zhenguo Army are very busy, even if the peasants are not working, they will go to the workshop to do short-term work. Therefore, food is indispensable. If it is equipped with this potato medicine, the demand for food can be reduced.

"There's also a taro that's about the same yield as potatoes, but it often needs water. Taro is more convenient to preserve, and can be stored for up to a year, and can be stored for more than three years if carefully stored. ”

Potato medicine and taro are both high-yielding grains that can be used as grain and vegetables, but there is one point that is not easy to store. Li Jing pinched his chin, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He has eaten these two things in later generations, not only have they eaten fresh, but they also have potato powder and taro powder, and they will be preserved for a longer time after being made into powder. And it can be dried directly, just like the potato chips eaten in later generations, it can be directly sliced and dried, and it is okay to cook it in water and then dry it.

In this way, the problem of storage and preservation is gone, and these dried potatoes and dried taro can be used as food.

Li Jing has no extravagant hopes for a yield of 2,000 catties per mu, and it is no problem to produce 1,500 mu per mu, and the yield per mu is 12 stones. Moreover, the land requirements for potato medicine and taro are simpler than those for planting corn and rice.

If one million acres can be planted next year, wouldn't it be able to harvest 12 million shiva and taro?

How many people are there in Dengzhou now? More than 2 million, and it is expected that the population may reach 3 million by the end of the year. Based on an average of three stone per person, the annual ration may be 10 million stone. If you count the preparation and consumption of war and the consumption of livestock and livestock, it doubles again, 20 million stones. The Zhenguo Army can now produce five million stone of grain a year, and it may increase to six to eight million stone next year.

In this way, the pressure on the demand for grain procurement of the Zhenguo Army has been greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but get excited, 12 million stones, how much food burden must be reduced.

"Immediately go to prepare for breeding, potato medicine can be divided into vines and seeds, and taro can be planted with small taro. Qilang, I'll give you a dead task, no matter what, next year, at least one million acres of potatoes and taro must be planted. Whether it is a newly cultivated wasteland, or a corner land by a pond or ditch, in short, this amount is raised. You have to know that we will have to fight with the Khitan next year, and even with the current situation in Youzhou, we may have to fight in Youzhou. Next year will be a year of long-term combat for the Zhenguo Army. Food must be guaranteed, and relying on buying food from outside all the time is not an insurance practice. Li Jing patted Li Rang's shoulder and said.

Li Jing nodded, "Teacher, rest assured, the people take food as the sky, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the important students of food are very clear." ”

"It's good to know the way, potato medicine and taro may not taste good for a long time, but if you think about it, no matter how bad it is, it is always better than the bark of leaves, grass, roots, and trees. No matter how bad it is, eating potato medicine taro is better than eating people. It is not necessary to limit yourself to planting these, so that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences can be activated. For example, lotus root, the yield can also yield thousands of catties per mu, and kelp. In addition, white radish and carrot are very high. These things can be used both for cooking and drying. If you eat more vegetables, you can eat less, and even dry them to prevent hunger. Cultivate more good seeds, whether it is grain or vegetables, more varied. ”

"A lot of people think that our workshops are very popular right now. But we must remember one sentence, there is no stability without agriculture, no work without wealth, and no business without life. Especially in the current situation, industry and commerce are important, but agriculture is also more important, which is the basis for stability. No matter how busy the workshop or the trading house is, we must ensure our farming, otherwise, our Zhenguo army will become a castle in the air, and it will be difficult to survive. Li Jing said very solemnly. Even if the Zhenguo Army can buy grain with money from other places with the income of industry and commerce, such an idea is unacceptable. At present, their own people cannot be self-sufficient in producing food, but they must also insist, even if they have to pay for it, they must not be slackened at all. (To be continued......)
