Favoring concubines and killing wives? The miraculous doctor mistress went crazy after her rebirth
Chapter 347 Medical College
When Jiang Zhinian said this, the entire court fell silent.
Everyone was shocked.
Many ministers who were loyal and passionate were shocked when they saw Jiang Zhinian.
They all couldn't help but sigh that the daughters and granddaughters they had carefully brought up could not compare to Jiang Zhinian.
Even men don't have such righteousness as her.
Of course, the most shocking thing is that Jiang Zhinian just said that one acre of land can produce more than 1,000 kilograms of grain.
This is incredible.
Everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Everyone looked at Jiang Zhinian.
Seeing her kneeling there with her back straight and speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, some old ministers couldn't help but think of the Wei family.
The same is true for the Wei family, who are also strong-willed.
They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the State of Yan.
Some people feel a little ashamed.
Many people know that they cannot match such righteousness and loyalty.
The emperor attached great importance to people's livelihood and often went to the imperial farm to check on the food situation.
Naturally, I knew the grain yield per acre of land, so I was shocked when I heard this number.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's true. I donated one million shi of grain, and I have 20 shi left to donate to the court to promote grain seeds."
The emperor could hardly contain his excitement and wished he could go to the fields to take a look immediately.
“What kind of grain seeds are they?”
Jiang Zhinian explained: "There are potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams. These three foods have the highest yields and can be grown even in sandy land..."
"I think that the north is cold and sandy, so perhaps crops like this can be grown there."
She knew that when there was no war, the military households would farm on the border and be self-sufficient.
But the environment there is harsh and the yield of crops grown is low.
But if there were potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams, it might be different.
Jiang Zhinian popularized some of these to the emperor.
In fact, it was also said for the ministers to hear.
The ministers were all excited and also wanted such grain seeds.
I don’t even know where Jiang Zhinian got it from.
She just said that one of her subordinates got it by chance, and they all wanted to ask where she got it from so that they could buy it too.
At this moment, those ministers who had just criticized Jiang Zhinian were filled with shame and annoyance.
If they had known earlier, they would not have spoken like that. They should have tried to curry favor with Jiang Zhinian.
It would be nice to get some grain seeds like this.
The emperor became even more excited when he heard Jiang Zhinian popularize these grains.
"The cold drink shop opened by this woman, the seeds of those watermelons and grapes were also obtained together."
"Do you have potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams? I want to take a look."
The emperor was very excited and his mood was surging.
If he could popularize this kind of food so that the people could have enough to eat, the treasury was full, the military pay was in place, and the national strength was prosperous, he would also be able to go down in history.
Even if he went down, he would still have the face to meet the ancestors of Yan State.
He understood that the people are the foundation.
He knew best what it meant for the people to have enough food to eat.
There was an emperor in the previous dynasty who did not understand the land and people's livelihood and said some stupid things, which are still regarded as jokes today.
Even when he was a child and went to the study to study, the teachers taught him repeatedly.
Therefore, since he was a child, he was taken by his father to the imperial farm to see the grain and land and learn about these things.
He also wanted to be a good emperor and a wise ruler, and lead the State of Yan to prosperity and strength.
But despite all his efforts, there didn't seem to be much progress.
Now that he suddenly had such food, he was of course excited.
So when talking to Jiang Zhinian, he was always friendly and even showed a kind smile.
He thinks Jiang Zhinian is really good.
Even though the Wei family was gone, Wei Ying had raised such an outstanding granddaughter to help their Yan State.
Jiang Zhinian nodded. She had been prepared and had someone bring a few baskets outside the palace gate.
The emperor sent someone to get it.
Soon potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams were brought in.
The ministers were curious and wanted to come closer to take a look, but the eunuch took it to the emperor first.
Jiang Zhinian explained to the emperor which is yam, which is potato and which is sweet potato, and how to eat them.
The emperor was very curious, and when Jiang Zhinian explained that there were many potatoes and sweet potatoes under one vine, he knew why the yield was so high.
Not knowing what this grain tasted like, Jiang Zhinian personally borrowed the imperial kitchen and cooked a few dishes.
Bring it here and let the Emperor taste it himself.
Of course, the food was tested for poison in advance, and the emperor would only eat it after it was found to be poisonous.
The emperor tasted the spicy and sour potato shreds and found them to be refreshing.
He had been worried about the plague in Jiangzhou and the war on the border recently. He couldn't eat or sleep well and had no appetite for anything. But when he ate the spicy and sour potato shreds, he found them tasted really good.
There are also roasted sweet potatoes and fried yams.
They are all so delicious.
After eating, the emperor nodded and praised: "Not bad!"
Jiang Zhinian said: "These three kinds of food can be eaten even if they are cooked directly. They can be eaten as food or used as dishes..."
Jiang Zhinian briefly explained the concentration methods.
He also wrote down the recipes and gave them to the imperial kitchen so that they could prepare the food for the emperor later.
Jiang Zhinian was very tactful and asked someone to send some food to the emperor.
The emperor felt that Jiang Zhinian was a good person more and more.
If she hadn't married Murong Chuan, he would have wanted to marry her to his son.
Jiang Zhinian is Wei Ying's granddaughter. She is calm and generous, loyal and capable.
It would be most appropriate for her to be the Crown Princess. When Jiyou becomes the emperor, she will be the Empress.
It is also a blessing for the State of Yan.
Pity!
The Crown Princess cannot have any stain. She has been in Murong Mansion in the past, and that is a stain.
The emperor felt regretful in his heart, but Jiang Zhinian naturally didn't know about this.
She was taking great pains to explain the food.
The court officials smelled the fragrance and wanted to taste it.
They had never heard of this kind of crop before.
The emperor nodded repeatedly in praise.
When Jiang Zhinian talked about medicinal herbs, she said, "The reason why I planted and stored medicinal herbs in the manor is because I have a dream in my heart."
"Dream, what is that?"
It was the first time that the emperor heard the word "dream".
Jiang Zhinian remembered that after she died in her previous life, she drifted to many places and saw things from another world, so she learned a lot of things that did not exist in this world.
"When I passed by some villages before, I found that in many remote villages, the villagers had headaches and fevers, but sometimes they couldn't see a doctor in time."
"Some clinics are far away, and some have too expensive medicines. Villagers have to bear the cost when they are sick. Even if it is just a minor illness, they will die if they can't bear it."
"After I found out, I felt very upset. So I thought that maybe I could open a medical school, take in some orphans or beggars, teach them to read and write, so that they could have enough food to eat, and also let them learn some medical knowledge, so that they could be warm and learn something. Then I could open some medical clinics in various places, arrange for them to be in charge, and provide medicinal materials in a unified manner. Or, if they understand pharmacology, they can help make medicine and grow medicinal materials in the manor..."
"With more medical clinics in various places, the price of prepared elixirs will be lower, and ordinary people will be able to afford medical treatment and medicine. We can even arrange for some doctors to be stationed in some large villages, and even medical schools can be opened in various places in the future..."
Jiang Zhinian expressed her thoughts and made everyone understand that she was hoarding medicinal materials out of a righteous cause.
This silenced the ministers and made them unable to say anything.
The emperor said excitedly: "Good!"
"That's a good idea!"
The emperor naturally knew that if this method became popular, the people of Yan would be able to cure their diseases and afford medicine, and the probability of surviving would be very high. In addition, they would be able to have enough food, so the number of people in Yan would increase.
If we plant such high-yield crops on those wastelands, we can also produce a lot of food.
By then, the people will be able to eat enough, the wasteland will be utilized, and the national treasury will be full.
Even though the environment in the north is harsh, we can still grow crops and arrange for doctors.
"I agree with your idea. I will arrange a piece of land for you and find someone to build a medical college. You will be the dean of the college and you will arrange everything."
