Chapter 1286 Dahan has peanuts??
——The General’s Mansion Sutra Collection Pavilion
"You should already know the specific location of Dongshengzhou. Next, I will talk about the resources of Dongshengzhou in detail.
Dongshengzhou has extremely rich resources. In addition to large areas of plains to cultivate in the north, there are also large areas of trees, forests and minerals in the south.
In addition to these basic natural resources, there are many magical species that we do not have in Dahuangzhou. I have written some Dongshengzhou species recorded in the classics to give you a brief introduction.
These three are the most important crops in Dongshengzhou, called sweet potato, potato and corn.
As long as these three crops are obtained, it will be no problem for our Han population to increase by four or five times.
This is chili pepper, which tastes similar to pepper, but it has a more spicy taste and can drive away cold and remove dampness.
This is a cinchona tree, which can treat malaria. In the future, our great man will manage the south, and this thing is extremely important.
This is tobacco, this thing can refresh itself, and it has great benefits in it, which is comparable to silk.
This is coffee, which tastes bitter, but it can refresh and has a similar value to tea.
This is a sunflower, with sunflower seeds inside, which can be squeezed into oil or used as snacks.
But when it comes to oil pressing, it is better to use peanuts. This is peanut, which is rich in oil...
Yueying, what are your problems?"
Ma Qiang was taking class with his students when he suddenly saw Huang Yueying raise his hand and couldn't help but say something strange.
"Sir...this peanut...is also a unique thing in Dongshengzhou?"
Ma Qiang was immediately unhappy.
If you say something else, it would be fine if Huang Yueying wanted to refute it. Do you know about this American thing?
"Of course, have you seen it in the Han area?"
"Students have indeed seen it. The thing that the teacher painted should be Gansuizi. Although this thing is extremely rare, it does exist in the Han area. Students have seen several pieces in the warehouse of Liu Envoy of Jingzhou."
?????
"No, Yueying, tell me in detail what this is like for Suizi."
Huang Yueying thought for a while and said, "This object has golden crown, with edges and branches, yellow hairs, yellow nodules at the roots, fruits in the nodules, red skin and white kernels, and sweet taste."
??????
This is a damn...it seems to be a peanut.
Ma Qiang felt that his three views were impacted by something.
Peanuts...there is a big man?
Isn't I the first time traveler?
Any big shot has brought peanuts and other things to the Han area, but it has not spread it for some strange reason?
Ma Qiang was in a mess.
"Sir?Sir??"
Ma Qiang was woken up by shouting, and he took a breath and asked hurriedly, "What about these things? Have you ever seen them?"
Ma Qiang pointed to the three paintings of sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes.
Huang Yueying shook her head this time, Ma Qiang looked at the others again, and the others shook their heads as well.
Huh ~
It seems that there is no incognito time traveler.
But...what is the case with peanuts?
Fucking a son?
Ma Qiang thought about it and decided to go to Li Yan to ask clearly.
These days, medical scientists and botanists can almost equate.
"Okay, that's all for today's class. You guys will discuss it by yourself. I'll go out if I have something to do."
After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he walked out of the Sutra Pavilion and rushed to the official residence where Li Yan was.
——
"God of Suizi? There is one in the government office. Do you want to see the general?" Li Xiang didn't expect that Ma Qiang came to see him to see the god of Suizi, and he felt quite strange.
"Take it out and I'll take a look!"
After a while, Li Yan walked out with a few kids and handed them to Ma Qiang.
Ma Qiang took it and took a look.
The house...the red tent...the white fat man lives inside...
Isn’t this TMD just peanuts???
Ma Qiang almost spurted out blood.
The American crop that I had been waiting for for so many years was actually at Li Yan's mansion less than a quarter of an hour away.
"Where did this dried son? What's the yield?"
"Dansuizi is a medicinal material. It is unplanted and is extremely rare. How can the yield be obtained?"
"Medicinal... medicinal materials?"
"Yes, this medicine is used to coagulate blood and stop bleeding, nourish blood and promote breast milk. It is native to Jiaozhou. In the pre-Qin period, some Qi training men believed that this thing can live forever, making this thing almost cut off. These are still treasures in Luoyang in the past, and I have never been willing to use it for the prescription."
Ma Qiang closed his eyes and took a breath.
He now knows why the man had peanuts but no one planted them.
After a long time, these ancients used this thing as medicine.
Since it is a medicine, it is natural to have to be born in the mountains and wild areas, and the effect of artificial cultivation is not strong.
Anyway, traditional medicine has always believed this.
This is the same as the tomatoes were first considered to be toxic foods by Europeans, which caused no one to eat them.
Peanuts are economic crops that can be used to squeeze oil, and the oil yield is very high. The oil yield of peanuts in later generations is generally 40-50%, while the oil yield of soybeans is generally around 20%.
Not only does it have a high oil yield, but peanuts are also better than soybeans per mu.
The reason why peanut oil prices were much higher than soybean oil in later generations was mainly because the overall utilization rate of soybeans was higher. For example, the soybean meal after oil was fully utilized as animal protein feed, and the emergence of genetically modified soybeans greatly reduced production costs, which led to the price of peanut oil being more in turn than soybeans.
Ma Qiang believes that peanuts are native to the Americas, but Ma Qiang cannot be blamed, but the mainstream scholars in later generations all believed this and even wrote them into the textbooks.
But in fact, carbonized peanuts were unearthed at the Liangzhu site in later generations, Hanyang Tombs, but these evidences are too thin and cannot explain why peanuts were not planted before the Ming Dynasty.
Now I understand. After a long time of work, this peanut was considered a medicinal material that could last forever in the Qin and Han dynasties. It was extinct in the Han area under the storm of generations.
"This dried summer is also recorded in the classics of our master. This product can squeeze oil and produces extremely high output...
Can you still grow peanuts?"
"This... the official can try it, but the medicine planted may not work well."
"I don't want to use this thing as medicine! I want to use it as food!
You give it to the Agricultural College immediately and ask them to study how to grow this product!
By the way, the environment in Qingzhou should be very suitable for this species to grow. If they are asked to send people to Qingdao to plant peanuts, they must understand the growth habits of peanuts. As long as they can successfully plant peanuts, I have some official titles here!"
Li Qi's eyes lit up immediately, and then he looked at Ma Qiang, his body motionless.
"I will remember your credit!
By the way, has Dr. Hua found it?"
"Someone saw him in Yuzhou and had sent someone to invite him."
"Doctor Hua is your mentor and a valuable medical talent for my great man. You must find it.
I knew he was worried that Cao Mengde would resent him. With me, no one could harm him.
I also hope he can take my Dahan Medicine to a higher level."
