Chapter 504 Seaside People Who Don't Like Seafood
"I also accidentally received guidance from a master who traveled around the world and received a book. Many things in this world are recorded in that book, but according to the master's guidance, after reading it, I have burned the book."
After Li Yi said this, Feng Yi, who was relatively simple, naturally believed it, because Li Yi did know a lot of things she had never heard of before. In this situation, when she cooperated with this statement, she felt that it was impeccable.
However, Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhang Mingyue had come at this time, she might not have been able to pass it in a perfect way.
"Then your Majesty, the reason why you came to Dongmu to inspect the navy is to prevent the enemy from attacking from the sea from the sea? However, when my father was in Nanzhao, he said that the navy of the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled in the world and had never suffered a defeat at the sea yet!"
Decades ago, the Tang Dynasty's naval army was indeed famous for a while. Even Tubo and Nanzhao were still very concerned about the naval army, so they also mentioned the Tang Dynasty's navy on their territory. Of course, Ge Luofeng's dialect was still very calculated.
"This is indeed good, but at that time our Tang Dynasty opponents were a bit too weak. Their small boats were indeed vulnerable in front of our Tang Dynasty warships. However, if the real enemy could break through the ocean barrier and come to us, their warships would definitely be stronger than our Tang Dynasty warships, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the test of the sea."
In fact, what Li said is basically impossible. No matter how strong you are in this era, the development of this world cannot allow any empire to organize a fleet to attack other empires directly from the sea.
"What Your Majesty means is to strengthen our current naval army in the Tang Dynasty?"
Feng Yi didn't care much about what kind of fleet formed in the Tang Dynasty and how to fight like this. What she really cared about was whether Li Yan would always go to the beachside robe on Henan Road because of this. Feng Yi didn't know what Zhang Mingyue meant, but she still supported Li Yan very much.
"That's not that I may come to Henan Dao in the future, but I will not come to Henan Dao often. Even if I see these warships, I can only give them some ideas. The real construction must be our Tang Dynasty craftsmen. Moreover, we have never had naval battles with any other place in recent years. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to persuade the ministers to take out a lot of money from the treasury to develop the naval army. After all, the money belongs to the Tang Dynasty, not to me, isn't it? After all, it's a peaceful and prosperous era. Most of the money must be used for the people. Only the real remaining can be used for the construction of these warships."
The things that Li Yi could say were not interested in Feng Yi. She was actually more interested in the scenery by the sea.
Here, they not only saw the scenery on the sea, but actually had a lot of delicious foods that were only found in the sea in the past few days.
When Li Qing arrived here, he realized that it was not empty talk about eating by relying on the mountains and water. The people around him were very particular about eating. They all knew what could be eaten and what could not be eaten in the sea. However, in this era, there were fewer people studying whether it was delicious or not.
It was a magical era when eating the Tang Dynasty. Sashimi and big cakes were basically invented by the people of the Tang Dynasty. However, such a simple and violent method of cooking was invented by the Song Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty. This really made Li Qing a little confused.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult to create a similar cast iron wok in this era, but no one thought about cooking.
Li Qing had wanted to cook for a long time, but because the chef of Tai Chi Palace really couldn't understand what he meant, he had communicated several times and ended in failure. In addition, Li Qing had a lot of things to do every day, and there were other delicious foods. Before he could cook by himself, an emperor, he cooked by himself every day, so this matter was put on hold.
But when they arrived here, they didn’t have to hurry back. With so many fresh ingredients that Chang'an City did not have, Li Qing was cruel and decided to do it last time.
When it comes to the ingredients in the ocean of this era, it really reminded Li Qing of an old saying he heard when he went to the Northeast in later generations: beat a roe deer and scoop fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot.
But here you have to replace everything with seafood.
Although they rely on the sea to eat, the people here do not seem to be very interested in this seafood. They will find something to eat in the sea to fill their stomachs unless they are really hungry.
Li Yan also asked the officials and people here why many people would rather eat braised vegetables than think about how many of them could pick up several kilograms of seafood with just reaching out.
The answer he got surprised Li Yan, because the seafood smelled like fishy smell, let alone made into a meal.
Because the seasonings in this era are really limited, they are very unpalatable and very salty. Under such circumstances, the people here naturally dare not eat them casually.
This problem is indeed a matter of fact, because in this era, even peppers are not available, let alone some pepper powder. Although there must be spices that can be used, it may not have been passed on to the Tang Dynasty, so you have to find it for a while.
Li Qing racked his brains to think for a long time, and naturally came up with some way to solve this problem.
Not only that, according to the people nearby, the reason why they do not eat seafood is that one is bad, and the other is that they have diarrhea after eating. Digestion is a very terrifying thing in this era. If people are pulled and punished, they will disappear. Therefore, everyone will never eat anything from the sea unless they have no choice. Even if the big seafood is washed to the shore by waves, these people will not pick it up.
Based on this statement, Li Qing could basically conclude that these people must have eaten them without cleaning up the internal organs of these seafood.
