The two of them agreed and quickly went to the dining room.
In the army, Yu Youyao was no longer a nameless female military doctor.
The medical center shone brightly in the last battle.
At first, the soldiers in the army did not think that the incense that was burned in the military tent every day had any effect other than smelling a little good. They even felt as if they were sissies and complained behind their backs.
Why was Eldest Princess Shaoyi so flashy?
It wasn’t until a certain young general, who had a bad temper because he couldn’t sleep well at night and was known as a “tiger” in the army, showed a sudden improvement in his temper. He was gentle with his soldiers. This even triggered a conspiracy theory.
The soldiers felt that their general was either possessed or in the calm before the storm.
All of them trembled.
When this matter reached the young general’s ears again, he suddenly realized that his habit of sleeping restlessly at night had improved. Not only did he sleep soundly at night, but he was also not so anxious and his temper had improved a lot.
He suddenly realized that these feminine incense sticks were good stuff.
Then, another military doctor realized that in such a cold weather, the wounds of the injured soldiers rarely festered for a long time. Moreover, their recovery speed increased and their spirits improved greatly.
The military doctor quickly looked for Eldest Princess Shaoyi and asked her about the effects of the incense medicine.
When he found out that these incense medicine had the effect of repelling moisture and cold, warming the body and calming the mind, and repelling filth and evil, he nodded in a daze. “This is it, this is it…
The medical center became famous after that battle.
Eldest Princess Shaoyi, who had created the medical center, was as famous as Madam Ming in the army. Some people even compared her to the late Princess Consort.
Therefore, Yu Youyao’s move to reorganize the internal affairs of the army, improve the food of the soldiers, and add medicinal cuisine was not stopped too much.
This year, the supplies in the army were more abundant, and it was wartime, so the soldiers’ food was better.
There was a rule that there would be a meal with meat soup every day. Most of it was made of seafood or meat bones. Every three days, there was also a meal of meat. Although there was not much, it could still be eaten.
Yu Youyao planned to start with breakfast and meat.
The medicinal herbs she had chosen were all relatively common and were good at nourishing the body.
The first type of breakfast mixed grain porridge was made with wheat bran, great millet, black beans, corn, and sweet potatoes. These five types of mixed grains that the army often ate were boiled with wolfberries, red dates, and other ingredients to form a porridge.
The mixed grain porridge had a fragrant taste. Coupled with steamed buns and cornbread, it did not dry the throat. In addition, it had the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach. It received intense support from the soldiers.
Then, the food in the army clearly became better.
In addition to the mixed grain porridge, there was also medicinal cuisine.
Sometimes, it was mutton soup that strengthened the muscles and bones. Sometimes, it was a pot of seafood soup that strengthened the marrow and one’s foundation.
Yu Youyao used limited ingredients to improve the lives of the soldiers as much as possible, and it was starting to show results.
The food had become better, and the mental state of the soldiers could be seen with the naked eye. Food was the most important thing for the people. Not to mention the effect of the medicinal cuisine, just the fact that their food had improved greatly boosted the morale of the army.
Others only thought that Eldest Princess Shaoyi had learned these medicinal cuisine recipes from Auntie Xu in the palace. The effect was better than ordinary medicinal cuisine.
However, they did not know that there was some spiritual dewdrop added to these medicinal cuisine.
Yu Youyao increased the use of the spiritual dewdrop.
Even Yin Huaixi did not know.
However, Yu Youyao still felt that medicinal cuisine and incense medicine could only assist in recuperation. It had limited healing effects on the soldiers who had been training or injured for many years.
Hence, she planned to start with the medicinal wine.
The cost of medicinal wine was low, and the consumption of medicinal herbs
was low.
Meanwhile, the effect of medicinal wine was far greater than the nourishment of a medicinal diet. A good medicinal cuisine recipe had a more comprehensive effect than the nourishment of a medicinal diet. If taken for a long time, it could clear the tendons and circulate the blood, strengthen the foundation, nourish the essence, and strengthen the muscles and bones. It could gradually recover the fatigue of the soldiers’ bodies and achieve the effect of strengthening their bodies.
The only thing that needed more was alcohol.
Alcohol was also a type of military supply. Although it could not be guaranteed to be supplied to the entire army, it could be supplied to the injured soldiers and some soldiers with more serious physical injuries.
Previously, she had asked the Xie family for a few medicinal wine recipes and given them to Yin Huaixi.
However, as the medicinal herbs needed were relatively expensive, in addition to the drought in the pass, the production of wine was greatly reduced, and it was not widely promoted in the army. Only injured soldiers could take a small sip every day.
However, this matter needed to be carried out slowly.
The first step was to improve the medicinal wine recipe. On this point, she could write a letter and ask her maternal grandfather. The Xie family had a lot of insight into the path of nourishing the body. She should be able to gain something.
As for the second step, the best wine to brew medicinal wine was great millet wine. Liaodong was rich in great millet wine. In the next year, she could encourage the cultivation of great millet and increase the production of great millet wine.
In addition, she also had to get Nanny Yue to try planting great millet seeds all over the country in the Liaodong area to find better food seeds and plant higher-yielding great millet plants.
The third step was to buy high-quality great millet at a high price and establish a winery to brew medicinal wine for the army. The Xie family was very experienced in brewing medicinal wine.
Meanwhile, the wine of the Great Zhou Dynasty was priceless overseas. The price was even higher than some silk tea. This business could continue to grow, and the future was very promising.
With a plan in mind, Yu Youyao was not in a hurry. Now that the war in the border city was urgent, in order to prevent military plans from being exposed, news from the army was forbidden to be sent out.
At this moment, Xia Tao rushed into the tent. “Young Miss, there’s a group of
Daoists outside the camp. They said that they’re from the Wanjun Mountain in Luoyang. They even brought their certificate. Their identities are confirmed. There’s a Daoist priest, Xu Ming. He’s the same Daoist priest who went to the Yu Residence to perform a ritual for Matriarch Yu during her funeral.”
It was said that the Wanjun Mountain was the place where the Grand Supreme Elder retired. It was a true immortal paradise and a Daoist holy land.
Yu Youyao couldn’t help but be stunned. “Daoism doesn’t preach and only accepts the pure-hearted. Therefore, Daoism emphasizes peace and quiet. It has always been hidden when it’s prosperous and chaotic. Looking at our vast country, there have always been Daoist immortals who have appeared behind the rise and fall of the previous dynasties to calm the chaos. The Daoist immortals must be here for the sake of tens of thousands of people. We can’t be negligent. However, the military camp is an important place. We still have to report to Your Highness. Why did you report to me?!”
Xia Tao hurriedly said, “His Highness is in General Lin’s tent discussing matters with General Lin and the others. It’s not good to disturb him. Daoist
Xu Ming also said that he wants to see Young Miss.”
Yu Youyao quickly stood up. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
With that, she immediately left the tent.
The military camp was an important place and one could not enter without permission. When Yu Youyao rushed to the entrance of the camp, she saw a group of green-robed Daoists. Even though it was cold, they were only wearing Daoist robes and exuded a sage-like aura. There were about 30 of them. Each of them was carrying a bulging bag that was half the height of a person..
