Chapter 484 quo what a quo
Lu Jia also wanted to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, after all, although there were many gains from this mission, there were also troubles.
He needs to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, report these things to His Majesty truthfully, and then decide what to do.
Lu Jia also nodded, indicating that he would leave tomorrow, and then he didn't mention this matter.
At this time, Chen Hua was also a little dazed.
I knew I wouldn't blow it so hard, but now it's okay, and I just blew people away.
I want to know more about the things in the Western Regions, and it seems that there is no fun.
Of course, although Lu Jia only has the identity of an envoy, his level is also higher than Chen Hua.
Lu Jia nodded, and Chen Hua could only cooperate.
"Lu Envoy, if the mission leaves tomorrow, there may be pressure on logistics or something, and we can only provide some military food for Lu Envoy here!" Chen Hua said.
Lu Jia was stunned, thought about it carefully, and wondered: "What is the difference between this military ration and supplies?" ”
For Lu Jia, there is no difference at all?
In his impression, weren't they all grains?
Directly let people out of the warehouse, load the car and take it away, won't it be over?
What's the matter?
He Chen Hua still wants to help peel off his skin?
While this is a good intention, the result is not necessarily good.
In order to facilitate storage, no matter where the grain is, it is not peeled, and it is generally eaten as much as it is peeled.
Otherwise, why are farmers so busy every day?
Basically, after breakfast, the cereals are peeled, and most of the day's work is basically only enough for the family to eat for one day.
Peeling the grain is a tiring job, and you'll want to die for months.
"Uh...... Lu Envoy didn't know that the military rations of our Han army had been upgraded......" Chen Hua realized that Lu Jia had been an envoy for nearly four years, and he didn't know these things at all.
And the military food upgrade, which is only last year's thing, Lu Jia was still in the Western Regions at that time, how can he know this?
"Upgrade?" Lu Jia was at a loss again, what has this big man done in the past few years?
It's only been less than four years, and even I feel so strange.
"Yes, the Marquis of Lun has improved the cultivation method and changed the traditional farming mode, and His Majesty ordered a part of the land to be cultivated according to the cultivation method of the Marquis of Lun, that is, autumn ploughing, spring ploughing, so that a piece of land can be harvested twice a year, and this newly upgraded military ration is the main one." Chen Hua explained.
"Come? Can this thing be eaten? Lu Jia said that he didn't believe it, something that a fool didn't eat was now used as military rations? What's the trouble?
"The land envoy doesn't know, of course he can eat it, and it is better than grain, but the amount of cultivation is not too much now, and there is no way to meet the people's casual food, so he can only use it as military food first, and the troops need to march long distances, or when they perform tasks from more than five days, they will take this kind of bread out with them, which does not occupy a large area, but can ensure that the stomach is hungry." Chen Hua explained with a smile.
Originally, I was going to say that I would ensure that I would not be hungry, but the emperor had previously called not hungry, although he changed his name, but there are some things, even if they are changed, you should follow them.
Chen Hua immediately asked people to fetch some military rations.
Hearing is better than seeing, and seeing is better than experiencing it.
No matter how much you say, it's better to let Lu Jia and the others taste it for themselves.
However, when the military rations came up, not only Lu Jia, but everyone was confused.
A round cake bigger than your face, and it doesn't feel heavy in your hand.
But the level of dryness of his is absolutely hopeless.
'Bang...... Bang...... Bang......'
Lu Jia took it and knocked it on several cases a few times, and each time his strength gradually increased, and the feedback of several cases was also very real.
The rumbling cases failed to shatter this piece of bread that had been made.
"Chen Junshou, are you sure this is military rations?" Lu Jia asked with a puzzled face.
"Of course, this is military rations, don't be deceived by its appearance, this kind of cake can be stored in a dry environment for two or three months after it is made, even in normal times, it can be guaranteed to be stored for one month without spoiling."
"The reason why it can be stored for so long is that it is hard, there is no moisture in it, and it is naturally not easy to mold and deteriorate."
"And when you eat, it's very simple, if you have enough time, just break off a small piece and eat it with water, if you are short of time, just throw it into your mouth and chew it a few times, drink a sip of water and send it down."
"It's not the best, but it's absolutely beyond imagination."
"But it's a bit unfortunate that the Lu envoy came, this military ration is divided into bread and meatloaf, and now there is just no meatloaf, if the Lu envoy is not in a hurry, he can rest for another day, and tomorrow I will let people hurry up to make a batch out, and then the Lu envoy will take the road to eat."
Chen Hua said unhurriedly.
The taste of this thing is indeed not good, and Chen Hua has also eaten it, but when he stays in Wuwei, he usually doesn't touch this thing.
In order to ensure that the storage time is long enough, it is baked on low heat all the time when it is made.
It is easy to burn over a high fire, so you can only use low heat and bake it for a long time to dry.
In addition, although people with bad teeth and mouth can eat it, it is recommended to soak it in water thoroughly before eating......
Lu Jia began to taste this new type of military food in the way Chen Hua explained.
First, I took out a piece, stuck it in the water, and then put it in my mouth.
At first, you can hear a rattling sound when you chew, but as you chew your teeth, the watery area starts to work.
I still feel a little dry, but it's no longer hard to swallow.
And when you eat it, you can even taste a hint of saltiness, which is obviously salted.
The ancients generally believed that as long as the intake of salt was ensured, it would ensure that people's physical strength would not be affected.
This perception is wrong, but it's not entirely wrong.
It is not only salt that is needed to ensure physical strength, but salt is just an indispensable necessity.
Again, if it is used as a short-term emergency ration, this is obviously appropriate.
And there is another kind of meatloaf as a supplement, so some worries can almost be put aside now.
In the end, this reception did not last too late because Lu Jia and the others had to leave early tomorrow morning.
Chen Hua wanted to bring wine to entertain these guests, but unfortunately, he didn't have wine here.
Waiting for a new construction everywhere, it is obviously inappropriate to put a large amount of wine in Wuweitun at this time.
However, a month ago, he also wrote to His Majesty, hoping to prepare a batch of wine to comfort the soldiers and the people who moved to Wuwei County with their families.
In the first year, everyone had a very hard time, and the conditions were extremely difficult, if they could get the care of the imperial court, people's hearts would definitely be warm.
Chen Hua has not yet received a reply from the imperial court, so he does not know whether this wish can be realized.
On the other hand, for most of the people in the mission, it was destined to be another sleepless night.
Especially for Kuntu, in the two days since he entered the Han realm, every day has a new round of impact on his cognition.
The three views were ruthlessly torn apart, then reorganized, and then torn apart again.
The strength of the Han Dynasty has long exceeded his understanding.
Although I heard Lu Jia boasting a lot on the way here, I heard it ten thousand times, so it was better to take a look at it myself.
The reality is that this is the first year of the establishment of Wuwei County, but it is only the first year, and the Han Dynasty has moved more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.
Although their house still looks very shabby, I don't know what happened, and Quintu always felt that when he returned, it would not be what it is now.
Early the next morning, the mission departed as scheduled.
This time, the mission relieved a lot of burden, and the heavy grain in the past was now replaced by bread.
According to Chen Hua, they will spend the next two days in the wild.
It will not enter Lingju County until the third day.
Once you're getting supplies, you don't need to worry about them anymore.
Chen Hua didn't say the specific reason, and he didn't need to say it.
"Lu Envoy, why did Chen Junshou say that he didn't have to worry about supplies when he arrived in Lingju three days later? Is he a ...... of our kind?" Quintto asked his sister in confusion, like a curious baby, and there were always ten thousand whys in his heart.
"Quo? Can you not be narrow-minded? Fortunately, you are also the prince of Wusun, what are you doing? After arriving at Lingju, go back a little more than a day to Jincheng, Jincheng is the border of the Han Dynasty when I came out, and then go as you go, as long as you don't stop and go, basically you can enter a county a day, and no matter how bad you are, you can rest in a township. Lu Jia angrily pointed at Kuntu and said, the prince is not like a prince, and he doesn't want to be embarrassed at all.
Even if you don't know about this kind of thing, you can't let your subordinates ask?
Zhente Niang has been sinned, why did she teach this thing to speak Luoyang dialect?
Now I only listen to the voice and don't look at the people, so I don't know if this is an authentic Wusun person.
"Uh...... How far is it from Luoyang? "Quint was a little embarrassed, but ......
Whatever, it's embarrassing, it's embarrassing, anyway, I've done everything that hasn't been disciplined along the way, do you still care about that?
"About two thousand miles, that is, from the easternmost part of Qiuzi to the westernmost part of Dawan." Lu Jia thought about it and gave a rough idea.
How far is it from the easternmost point of Qiuzi to the westernmost point of Dawan?
He really hasn't calculated this, but if you count it by the number of days, it's actually about the same, and if you are in a normal hurry, it will take about a little more than a month on both sides.
Kuntu: The big man is really big, no wonder it's called the big man......
"Lu Envoy, why don't you send scouts?"
"Lu Envoy, is there really no one who dares to sneak attack us?"
"Lu Envoy, do you think they will pretend to give us food, and then secretly burp us?"
"Land Envoy ......"
