- To be honest, this giant businessman from the Darren Kingdom was able to come back, which surprised Yu Zai. The scenes of ten years ago flashed back in his eyes, forming a picture. At that time, the tribe was poor, and it cost more bargain.
It's different now, wide! rich!
"Li Kui, you must have bought a lot of goods when you went to the west! Show me quickly!"
There are many good things in the west, and you have to buy goods to get them back. Once in the Central Plains, Yu Zai asked the Queen Mother of the West to buy a batch of goods, such as flax, broad beans, garlic Technology is exchanged for others to help with the trip, but the influence of the Queen Mother of the West covers the Qilian Mountains and the West Sea at most. The out-of-control area would only be smaller in ancient times, not bigger.
Therefore, the goods obtained are still limited, but the merchants in the adult country are different.
After Li Kui and Yu Zai exchanged pleasantries, they were also unambiguous, and directly put down their package, which contained many strange things.
"The seeds and fruits you want are all rotten. There is no way to save them. You can only bring the seeds back."
Seeds are of course easier to preserve than crops themselves. Seeds with high oil content generally have a short lifespan, while seeds with hard and lignified surfaces have a longer lifespan. In addition, the types of seeds of various crops are different, and the internal and external structures of seeds are different. Different storage environments have different effects on seed survival.
As a qualified traveling businessman, of course Li Kui has his own preservation method. Normally, the seeds of crops can be stored for one to three years, and if the cold storage method is used, it can be extended to five years.
Low temperature, low humidity, darkness and reduced oxygen content in the air are the ideal storage conditions. Wheat seeds can only be stored for two or three years in a normal state, but in an environment of minus one degree, with limited humidity and water content, they can be stored for 13 year effect.
It's just a purchase, it took thirteen years, and I'm almost done studying the scriptures in the West, and it's time to climb back.
Li Kui grabbed a handful of bags, and the small bag in his hand was placed in front of Yuzai, like a big bag of five or sixty catties of grain. Yuzai began to pick and choose, and the situation here also made many people in the market Surround me.
People always like to join in the fun, and the people of Hongzhou know that as long as there is a place where Ah Zai appears, there must be something new and interesting.
Šu Zai saw some of the goods that the Queen Mother of the West gave her back then, except for things like garlic and broad beans, there were also carrots, coriander, flax, pomegranate, spinach, and nai (cotton apples)
Of course, they are all ancient versions, and even the color of the seeds is slightly different, and according to Li Kui's description, the appearance of these vegetables and grains is also different from the familiar ones.
Domestication is a long process. These vegetables and grains were originally introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty, but the Western Han Dynasty has been two thousand years since the ancient times.
Thanks to the chat between Yu Zai and Li Kui ten years ago, as well as the progress of farming equipment over the years, Li Kui used a batch of high imitation OEM plow tools made by himself in Hongzhou, Central Plains, and sold them in the western region. He paid a high price, so he paid special attention to agriculture. Better farming equipment means more grains can be planted. There are many strange grains and vegetables in the western region, so he makes money by selling plows. A lot of goods came in.
Generally speaking, what was imported during the Han Dynasty can basically be obtained here in Likui now.
It is a pity that some crops produced in South Asia were not brought in. After all, the footsteps of adult merchants stopped only when they reached the edge of the Middle East. Things such as pepper, cucumber, and eggplant originated in India. These crops had not spread in ancient times. Naturally It will not appear in these pockets.
As for sesame, this thing is native to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and it is not the same thing as "sesame" or "flax" in the Western Regions. Flax is an oil crop and was called "Jusheng" in ancient times.
Šu Zai rummaged around, and suddenly found something good.
Some strange seeds were placed alone, and there was a small bag tied up on the side. There were a few dehydrated, shriveled, or even rotten "plants" in it, but the appearance could still be seen it was onion.
This was a surprise. It turned out that Li Kui didn't know what this plant was, but he saw that some tribes were planting it, and it had a pungent spicy smell, so he brought it back.
The earliest planting of onions was recorded before 3,000 BC, that is, one thousand years earlier than the era of Yao and Shun. The etchings on Egyptian tombs in 3,000 BC enshrined onions as sacred objects. The ancient Egyptians put their right hands on onions. I swear on it and believe it is a symbol of eternity, because onions have a round body composed of layers, and there is a kind of onion that is even worshiped as a god
Looking at these seeds, Yanzai reveals?The leaders of other regions will be dumbfounded, and the wizard will also be shocked.
Therefore, guidance such as the destiny of ghosts and gods is no longer their patent. If they want to continue to maintain the lofty status of ancient intellectuals, then these wizards can only change jobs and become "philosophers" and "thinkers"; , to become the prophet of "religion"; or, to find another way to explore and experiment in the material field, like people like Mozi and Chenzi.
Or else, it is to stand still and be complacent, waiting to be forgotten by the times, and finally become a part of the garbage dump of history.
But no matter which one, the impact on the current era is unparalleled.
In the past, there was only one way for wizards to change jobs, and that was the Qi refiner. If they failed to refine Qi, they would re-open after lying down. Now, there are more choices. After the version is updated, some people may not adapt, and of course there will be "true fragrance" people .
With the arrival of a new version, there will always be father and grandson.
"In any case, history is always better than one generation."
ŠuZai thought about it in his mind, and maybe he could give Li Kui another steel weapon.
This is not only to promote through the mouth of the merchants of the adult country, but also to let some tribes in the distance understand that Hongzhou no longer bothers to play house with you. Before you can see the dawn of the Bronze Age, we have already started The Iron Age.
This is pressure, and it is clearer than past rumors.
The world has long known that "Hongzhou is strong and invincible", but Taotie, Zize, Sanmiao, and Ba people still unite to fight against it. They believe that the strength of Hongzhou lies in the gods rather than the extraordinary.
But gods and men also bleed and are afraid.
Ordinary people are not necessarily incapable of fighting.
Yuzai had a plan in mind. Now there is still a big threat around Hongzhou that has not been resolved. Yuzai decided to wait until part of the steel equipment is equipped to carry out a targeted attack on Sanmiao, but they cannot be destroyed. If Sanmiao does not surrender , then use Sanmiao as a place for Hongzhou to train troops.
Chi You is just wearing a crude copper armor and holding some primitive smelted iron tools, so that he can be called "the eighty-one brothers who are invulnerable to swords and guns" by later generations. , will future generations write in the history books-Hongzhou has organic armor?
Shocked, the truth about the demise of the glorious ancient civilization turned out to be!
In short, Li Kui was very happy to obtain the right to sell paper as an agent. Under the leadership of Yu Zai, he visited various constructions and inventions in Hongzhou in the past ten years.
From paper to steel casting, from scales to levels, from bricks and tiles to water conservancy facilities, from drama to painting, from poetry to porcelain, from schools to medical care, from mechanics to chemistry, from equipment to animal husbandry, from markets to agricultural and sideline products , from glass to economic trade
Dazzling and dizzy, Li Kui listened to Yan Zai's introduction, his mind was full of confusion.
"Actually, there is nothing difficult to understand. You must learn to diverge your thinking. I will summarize the development of the past ten years, and I will publish an atlas in the future to tell everyone what a technology tree is"
In this era, there are not many people who are good at divergent thinking. Yu Zai told Li Kui to learn to associate without reason.
Unprovoked association is the driving force of human progress!
"When the wood rolls into the river, you should know that the circle runs fast and the buoyancy can float on the water, so that there are wheels and ships, and then you can test the flow rate of the water per second"
"When you find an archery target, you can think of the Yellow Emperor"
Fantasy can keep a group full of vitality. Great people call it dreams, and mortals call it daydreams.
"I really want to take everything here, but I know it's impossible. The things here are beyond my ability to think. I don't know how they are made, and I can't understand your thoughts."
Li Kui left behind those new goods, not limited to vegetables and grain seeds, but also some ancient wisdom from more distant places. Of course, he believed that these distant wisdoms had already been covered with dust in front of Li Kui.
Šu Zai gave Li Kui a strange thing, small, and made him squint to see what was on it. He saw a needle, beneath a cover made of glass, that seemed to point forever in one direction.
"It's made of magnets."
"The magnet? The magnet of Guanti Mountain?"
In the Beishanjing of the Shanhaijing, it is said that the water of the craftsman Han flows out of the mountain of Guanti, while the west flows into the lake, and there are many magnets in it.
"Magnets are not limited to Guanti Mountain This thing is called Si Nan Qi. The Yellow Emperor used it a long time ago. Now I just made some small improvements."
The so-called "Sinan" that Yuzai gave to Li Kui is actually a real and complete compass, but it uses the more pleasant name of Sinan.
