The most terrifying thing about the Gu disease was its mysteriousness. There was no mystery at all, so naturally, no one was afraid of it.
Since the Medical School had found the culprit of the schistosomiasis, they naturally knew that the dark clouds that had been hanging over the people of Jiangnan for thousands of years suddenly disappeared.
Wasn't it just that they couldn't go into the water? Wasn't it just that they were small oncomelania? Wasn't it just that they buried the feces of the sick people? Especially when the Medical School announced that the schistosomiasis would not be transmitted from human to human, almost everyone in Jiangnan was relieved.
Under the concerted efforts of the people of Jiangnan, a mighty campaign to control the schistosomiasis was launched in Jiangnan. Every village hung signs on the waterways where oncomelania was distributed and strictly prohibited the villagers from going into the water.
Countless people spontaneously went out and dug three feet into the ground along the riverbanks to eliminate oncomelania. In the waterways, they used nets and poisons, but they didn't let any oncomelania go.
With the development of the schistosomiasis control in Jiangnan, another vast project was launched in the whole of Jiangnan. Workshops rose from the ground, and the river that had just been controlled was quickly installed with water conservancy machines.
Yang Siqi deserved to be the descendant of the Dengling Family. He originally had a body of Mohist skills but had nowhere to put them to use. In the end, he could only make puppets with ingenious and obscene skills. With the huge mechanical support of the Mohist Village, Yang Siqi showed all he had learned. Countless difficult problems were solved in his hands, and the mechanical workshops in Jiangnan blossomed everywhere.
"This is the real way of the Mohist Village!"
Yang Siqi saw a huge water wheel rising from the ground in front of him and couldn't help sighing. In contrast, the puppets he made before seemed delicate, but they were not practical at all.
If he could understand this truth earlier, he wouldn't have to rush out of the court with his tail between his legs.
"But it's not too late now!" Yang Siqi saw the prosperous scene in Jiangnan and couldn't help but think. Jiangnan was the place where the Dengling Family flourished.
Since the Xiangli Family could make a place in the Mohist Village, he could also make the Dengling Family of the Mohist Village flourish in Jiangnan.
Following the Mo family's descent to Jiangnan, it was like throwing a boulder into the Jiangnan area that had been peaceful for a thousand years, setting off shocking waves. New types of machinery workshops were popularized, new types of crops were promoted, and the bloodsucking bug disease was controlled. Hills that were not suitable for farming were reclaimed into terraced fields or planted with fruit trees. The entire Jiangnan area was in full swing.
As the Jiangnan region was full of vitality, caravans came one after another upon hearing the news. Soon, carts of Jiangnan specialties appeared on the streets of Chang 'an City. Of course, the most famous specialties were the lychees from Lingnan.
It was all the rage in Chang 'an for a while and became a delicacy in the mouth of the upper aristocratic families. Unfortunately, it was very expensive. Ordinary people would not be willing to taste a fruit that cost more than a hundred coins per pound.
However, to the surprise of the citizens of Chang 'an, Mo Jiazi brought back a large number of new fruits and bananas from Jiangnan before the lychee craze had died down.
"Banana? What is that?" Many people in Chang 'an were puzzled. They had never heard of such a fruit.
A Lingnan merchant said proudly, "You may not know, but bananas are also a specialty of Lingnan. They are thin and long, yellow when they are ripe, and extremely sweet. They are a rare delicacy."
The Lingnan merchant recalled the delicious taste of bananas and could not help but look nostalgic. He had left his hometown for many years and had not eaten bananas from his hometown for many years.
"However, I heard that most of the bananas that Mo Jiazi brought back this time are green. They are not ripe at all." A citizen frowned. Bananas were another product of Mo Jiazi's Jiangnan development. Many people compared them to lychees. Once they were brought back, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"How can you eat unripe fruits? How can Mo Jiazi make such a mistake? "Everyone could not help but frown.
"That's right. Green bananas are extremely difficult to eat. They are inedible!" The Lingnan merchant personally confirmed.
"He even picked unripe fruits. Isn't Mo Jiazi pulling the seedlings to help them grow?" A Confucian scholar said in disbelief.
Pulling seedlings to help them grow came from Mozi Gongsun Chou, who said, "The Song people had a saying that the seedlings were not ripe but were instead eaten."
"That's impossible. Mo Jiazi's actions are often unexpected. How can he make such a childish mistake?" Some people who were staunch supporters of Mo Jiazi shook their heads and refuted.
"That's right. Mo Jiazi has a very good reason not to eat unripe bananas. This is simply a waste of food." Many people snorted.
For a while, everyone was talking about it. Some people thought that Mo Jiazi was pulling seedlings to help them grow, and some people thought that Mo Jiazi must have a trick up his sleeve. However, under the guidance of some people, some people linked Mo Jiazi's return of green bananas with the development of Jiangnan. They thought that these two things were pulling seedlings to help them grow. For a time, the rumor that the development of Jiangnan was pulling seedlings to help them grow immediately spread throughout Chang 'an City.
"How can Merton be so confused? Now is a great time for the development of Jiangnan. Brother Merton brought back so many unripe bananas from Jiangnan. Isn't this kind of pulling seedlings to help them grow?" Xiao Rui looked at a large number of green bananas entering Mo's warehouse in front of him and couldn't help but say bitterly.
Now Mo Jiazi's bananas have just entered the warehouse, and Chang 'an City has already spread the news. In addition, it is linked to the development of Jiangnan. Obviously, those aristocratic families are doing something and trying to discredit the development of Jiangnan.
Meton shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, others don't know the characteristics of bananas. Don't you know? Once bananas begin to mature, they will be ripe in three or five days. Once ripe bananas are impossible to transport, even if they are kept fresh with ice. "
Xiao Rui nodded helplessly and said, "It's true that bananas are prevalent in Lingnan, but other places have no chance to see them. Even in Jiangnan, there are only a few bananas circulating."
Merton said, "However, although ripe bananas can't be transported, unripe green bananas can be transported for a long time. Even if they are transported from Lingnan to Chang 'an City, there will be no loss."
"But what's the use of these green bananas? They can't be eaten. We can only watch them spoil." Xiao Rui lamented.
"It's difficult. Can't we just ripen these green bananas?" Meton said confidently.
"Ripen! You think the bananas are still on the tree! "Xiao Rui couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Meton incredulously.
Meton reminded him: "Brother Xiao, do you remember that in the Central Plains, there is also a kind of fruit that is picked when the fruit is not ripe, and then artificially ripened to form a delicious delicacy?"
"What Merton is talking about is persimmons!" Xiao Rui's eyes lit up. Chang 'an Sanyuan's persimmons are the most famous, and persimmons are also picked when they are not ripe.
Could it be that Meton wants to eat bananas or roast bananas? Suddenly, Xiao Rui looked at Meton and didn't know how strange his expression was.
Meton didn't know what Xiao Rui was thinking. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mo Family discovered the secret of ripening from the ripening of persimmons. Even if it is a green and immature banana, as long as it is ripened by Mo Family's secret technique, it can quickly become a sweet and delicious ripe banana."
Meton waved his hand and a Mo Jiazi brother opened a closed warehouse. In the warehouse, there were strings of bananas neatly placed. Each string of bananas had turned from green to yellow and exuded a tempting fragrance.
"This is the secret of ripening!" Xiao Rui peeled a ripe banana and tasted the familiar delicacy. His eyes lit up.
"If Brother Xiao likes it, you can take some back to Xiangcheng Princess. I think Xiangcheng Princess will like it." Meton said with a smile.
"Then I won't be polite!" Xiao Rui laughed loudly, looking at the ripe bananas in front of him, but his heart was full of thoughts.
Compared with the harsh production and transportation of lychee, the production of bananas is extremely high. In addition, green bananas are very easy to transport. They can be transported back from Lingnan by ordinary carriages. If it is lychee, it can only be a treasure in the mouths of aristocratic families. After all, the bananas in front of him will be a delicacy in the mouths of ordinary people. Such a huge market is the real business opportunity of Jiangnan.
Those aristocratic families are right. The time for the development of Jiangnan is indeed not ripe. If it is forcibly developed, I am afraid that there will be a behavior of pulling seedlings to help them grow. The addition of Mo Family is like this ripening secret technique, making the originally immature development of Jiangnan finally become a sweet and delicious fruit.
