Da Xi did not yet have a particularly mature brewing process. At that time, the wine was generally made from grains, with a low alcohol content. It tasted sweet and had almost no alcohol content, at most it could warm you up.
The thought flashed through Yun Qing's mind, but after taking a sip, she said nothing more.
Can this even be called alcohol? It's practically a soft drink. Looks like I was overthinking it.
Yun Qing took a sip. The wine had very little alcohol content and was quite sweet, so it was perfectly fine for children to drink.
[However, alcohol is a wonderful thing, especially high-proof liquor; it can be drunk and also used medicinally. It's a pity that Da Xi's grain production is currently low, and people rarely use their own grain to brew alcohol. Indeed, the foundation of a nation lies in its grain.]
[I don't know if improving farming methods will improve grain production. If the effect is not significant, we need to find grain seeds as soon as possible. Although rice is currently grown in the south, it hasn't undergone hybridization and breeding in later generations, so the yield is quite low. The north, with its harsh weather, is even worse. Corn and sweet potatoes haven't been introduced yet; otherwise, it should solve a lot of the problem…]
Yunqing isn't very good at practical skills, but her theoretical knowledge is top-notch. She can talk about crop cultivation in great detail. The key problem is that she lacks seeds and practical methods.
Xie Rang was a little stunned by all the knowledge he had been bombarded with. He glanced blankly at Yun Qing and realized that the Grand Tutor was probably much more capable than he had imagined. Although there were still difficulties in what he was talking about, once he had a clue, the subsequent solutions would be much easier. It was just a matter of time.
Clearly, Yun Qing had the same idea as him.
These crops are already in existence. We can approach the merchants who travel overseas and offer them rewards to find the seeds. A generous reward will surely attract brave men; I refuse to believe that money can't solve the problem!
The family home is very prosperous. Generations of hard work have accumulated a considerable fortune. Yun Qing is determined to make a big splash, and all these resources can serve her. This can also be seen as preparation for revitalizing Da Xi.
The things that need to be done still need to be done, otherwise, if Da Xi dies before I reach the age of old age, where will I go to cry?
Yun Qing thought about it more and more and felt that her initial attempt to escape was useless. In a chaotic world, how could there be any innocent people? Once the Rouran invaded Da Xi, no matter how far she fled, she might not have a good chance of survival. Besides, she could not possibly take her family with her when she fled. Otherwise, if no one guarded the border, history would be moved forward, and she would be finished.
Xie Rang: “…”
He remained silent for a long time, but finally couldn't help himself and gently tugged at Yun Qing's sleeve: "Grand Tutor, how does the wine taste?"
No matter what, the Grand Tutor always manages to think about the fall of the country. Xie Rang was worried that if he didn't stop him, he might be able to figure out the aftermath of the country's demise. But things are different now. They still have a long time to make changes, and worrying in advance is useless.
Yun Qing suddenly came to his senses and nodded haphazardly twice: "It's alright, but I've tasted even better wines. I'll let Your Majesty try them when I have the chance."
Grain liquor can also be increased in alcohol content through distillation, but that would reduce the quantity and be quite extravagant. Besides, there are no distillation equipment available. Yun Qing decided to make a wishful thinking and try it later.
"A better wine?"
The little tyrant didn't answer, but Lang Xiao, that brat, dared to come up to him, and Yin Rong tried to stop him but couldn't.
Yin Rong rubbed her forehead in exasperation, praying that this kid wouldn't cause any more trouble. He didn't even consider the occasion. The young master and His Majesty were chatting; what kind of person was he to barge in like that?
Xie Rang gave him a sharp glare, but Yun Qing didn't seem to care. He smiled and explained, "We can't make it now without the tools. Once we do, we'll definitely let our own people try it first."
Yun Qing never intended to keep this a secret. It would definitely be better to treat family members as well. Sharing good things with everyone is also a way to win people's hearts.
Lang Xiao replied, "Yes, yes, thank you, young master!"
He looked like he wanted to say something more, but Yin Rong pulled him away with a force: "They're too busy over there, go and lend a hand."
Didn't you see how calm the young emperor's face was? Their young master certainly wouldn't say anything, but the trouble lies with the young emperor. Yin Rong is truly afraid that if the young emperor holds a grudge, Lang Xiao's future will be fraught with difficulties.
Not to exaggerate, but Yin Rong felt it was really possible. After finally managing to coax Lang Xiao away, he wisely didn't linger. He went to get another plate of meat and then took the initiative to leave to drink and eat with the soldiers, looking completely different from how he had been when he was there.
Yun Qing shook her head, looked at Xie Rang, and gently comforted him: "Alright, Your Majesty, he's frightened. Can we not hold it against him?"
Yun Qing noticed a different implication in Yin Rong's actions, and when she turned around, she saw that it was the little tyrant threatening people. But to be honest, it was quite cute.
And this guy is also a master of disguise, like a wolf cub, appearing weak and harmless in front of her, but his fierce nature is immediately exposed as soon as he leaves her sight.
Look at Yin Rong, wasn't she intimidated by him?
Because he is still young, the little tyrant has not yet grown up, and his eyes are small and round, making him look innocent: "I didn't scare him."
Yun Qing wondered why she had bothered arguing with him, and smiled: "I know, don't worry, I will definitely let His Majesty taste the wine I brew in the future first."
[How hypocritical! But what can I do? I'm the tutor of the little tyrant.]
This matter is still uncertain, and it's unclear when it will actually be realized. This is ancient times, and according to common sense, it's normal to give the best things to the emperor first.
Xie Rang's eyes deepened: "Alright, I'll be waiting."
After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Qing had almost forgotten her regret about not being able to enjoy barbecue earlier. She didn't plan to stay at the Li Family Army's camp for too long and would leave the next morning. After giving Xie Rang a good talking-to and telling him to get some rest, she went into her own tent.
There were few recreational activities in the army, and unable to sleep, Yun Qing brought up the system page again and started browsing. Before long, she found the method for distilling grain liquor. The happiness value difference wasn't much, and she could try it when she had the chance.
Yun Qing murmured, "So let's have someone go find the seeds first, and draw a map while we're at it; that might be more helpful."
If Yun Qing were to transmigrate into an ordinary person, this theoretical knowledge might be of little use, but being in a high position, having this knowledge as an advantage actually allows her to accomplish more.
Human creativity is limitless. If you can't do it yourself, just leave it to the professionals.
Thinking about these things, Yun Qing unknowingly fell asleep.
I slept without any dreams.
