Jin Feng said: "By the way, you mentioned this matter, then let the secret agent explain clearly the situation of the horses, cattle and sheep, it is best to get some... Forget it, if we really want to cooperate with Dongman, I will let Lu
Jie will send some sick horses, cattle and sheep over for Mr. Wei to study, and maybe he can find a cure."
From the description of the Ninth Princess just now, Jin Feng guessed that the horses, cattle and sheep on the grassland were most likely infected with some kind of bacteria. In addition, the sanitary conditions on the grassland were worse than those in Sichuan and Shu before, so a plague was caused among the herds.
.
It's just that these are all Jin Feng's guesses. He has to wait for more detailed information or see samples before he can make a more accurate judgment.
"Mr. Wei also treats animals?" Ninth Princess asked in surprise.
"Horses, cattle, and sheep are also mammals. In terms of physiological structure, many people have the same characteristics. Although there are differences in pathology, there are also many similarities."
Jin Feng explained: "And I suspect that the plague of horses, cattle and sheep is caused by germs. By the way, germs are invisible little bugs. Mr. Wei can see them through a microscope."
"That's it," Ninth Princess nodded suddenly.
Every time she chats with Jin Feng, she can learn new postures!
Phew! Learned something new!
For example, this time, she heard about wool spinning machines and mammals, two terms she had never heard of before.
Wool spinning machines are easy to talk about. Although this is the first time Princess Ninth has heard of them and has never seen them before, she roughly knows what they are.
But mammals left her a little confused.
If you don’t understand, just ask. This is Princess Ninth’s usual attitude towards Jin Feng, so she asked: “Husband, what is the mammal you just mentioned?”
"There are many kinds of animals in nature, some of which are born from eggs, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and most birds, as well as fish, reptiles, amphibians, etc."
Jin Feng explained: "Mammals... you can understand it this way. Like humans, they are born from the mother's womb and need to drink mother's milk when they are born. They are mammals."
"So that's it," Ninth Princess nodded, then took Jin Feng's arm and said, "Husband, please tell me about other animals."
…
That night, Jin Feng popularized the various differences between animals, from living habits to reproduction methods, to the Ninth Princess, until late at night.
But the next morning, neither of them slept in, and got up before dawn.
After a brief wash, the Ninth Princess called Zhuer in.
Zhuer opened the box and called several girls to help Jin Feng and Ninth Princess change their clothes.
Jin Feng once again put on the armor he wore for formal occasions, and the Ninth Princess also put on the dragon robe she wore when going to court.
Jin Feng put on his armor faster. When he finished putting it on, he saw that the Ninth Princess's dragon robe was only half worn, so he walked out of the back room and walked into the yard to call Iron Hammer: "Have the supplies on the Taiping been loaded?"
"It's packed!" Iron Hammer took out an envelope from his pocket: "An hour ago, Captain Jinpeng sent a cargo list. Sir, please take a look!"
Ninth Princess had already prepared supplies for the Taiping's voyage. Not long after Jin Feng disembarked yesterday, workers started loading the Taiping.
In order not to delay the Taiping's time, the dock temporarily stopped the loading and unloading of all other ships last night. Everything is focused on the Taiping, and all equipment is focused on supporting the Taiping.
After a busy night, all the supplies were finally delivered to the cabin before dawn.
Jin Feng took the envelope and carefully looked at the contents on the list one by one.
The mission of the Taiping this time was to sail to find the New World rather than trade, so there were not many things on the list, mainly coal, food, clothing, fresh water and weapons.
Coal is for driving steam engines, food, clothing and fresh water are for food and clothing, and weapons are for dealing with possible dangers.
There are relatively few other supplies, and they are mainly practical tools.

After confirming that the supplies on the list were the same as what he originally listed, Jin Feng put the list away and asked, "Have all the sailors boarded the ship?"
The fate of the sailors on this voyage was uncertain, so yesterday Jin Feng gave the sailors a holiday and allowed them to go ashore for some activities.
Jin Feng was a little worried that the sailors were too indulgent and delayed today's departure.
"They're all on board," Iron Hammer replied: "Actually, they just divided into two groups yesterday and walked around the town casually. They were all on board as soon as it got dark."
"Divided into two shifts? Everyone got on the boat as soon as it got dark?" Jin Feng asked in surprise: "Did Jin Peng ask for it?"
"No, it's the sailor brothers who volunteered."
Tie Chui said: "They said that Yuanhang is an important figure related to countless people in Dakang. Sir, entrusting them to them is a sign of trust in them. They can't delay their business because of their playfulness. They also said that when they come back after completing the mission, Mr.
When they have a celebration banquet, have a good drink!"
Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess who came out later fell silent upon hearing this.
They didn't expect that the sailors would say this.
"Brothers are all good!"
Jin Feng praised him and asked, "Are the farewell guard of honor ready?"
"Ready," Tie Hammer continued to nod: "Master Tie is also leading all of you to the dock!"
"good!"
Jin Feng nodded and led the Ninth Princess towards the dock.
When he arrived at the pier, Jin Feng saw at a glance that the open space on the left side of the pier was full of male escorts.
All the bodyguards were wearing standard armor, holding spears with solemn expressions, and lined up neatly, with their backs straight.
The leaders were none other than Zhang Liang and Qinghuai, who came from Jiangnan overnight, as well as other senior members of the armed forces.
On the right side of the trestle, there are all female escorts.
However, unlike the male escorts, the female escorts did not wear armor, but all wore black uniforms.
The female escorts did not carry weapons, and each of them held two drumsticks wrapped in red cloth.
In front of them was a war drum as big as a tabletop.
Standing at the front are Xiaoyu, Apei, Tang Dongdong and other female generals.
Even Zuo Feifei, who went back to Xihewan with Guan Xiaorou yesterday, rushed back overnight after meeting Tang Dongdong on the road.
Directly opposite the trestle is a temporary high platform.
Tie Shixin led the Privy Council and other senior officials of the court to stand under the high platform.
Jin Feng also saw Qing Xinyao among this group of people.
Except for Tieniu who guards Weizhou City and Liu Tie who guards Yuguan City, all the senior officials who can rush back are here.
"I'm interested!"
Jin Feng turned to look at the Ninth Princess.
He had just written a letter asking the Ninth Princess to organize a farewell for the sailors, but he did not expect that the Ninth Princess would be so attentive.
Not to mention Jin Peng and Sailor, even Jin Feng has seen this kind of specifications for the first time.
Even when the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, the crowd was not so neat.
