Chapter VII The Food Crisis

For a few days in a row, in Gucheng County, they were all drunk and singing, and their lives were geometric, and the eight kings entered the county government and never came out again.

Qin Yu was the only one who took the orphans around to drill thatched houses and scavenge for nitrate.

provoked a group of heroes to laugh constantly and scold a group of fools.

Qin Yu ignored everyone's ridicule, found a cauldron of stone grinders, and boiled nitrate and prepared gunpowder by himself.

He only knew the proportion of gunpowder, and after repeated experiments, he finally determined two types.

The cannon was also cleaned up, and a carpenter was found to make a gun mount, and Li Dingguo pulled it out to try two cannons, and the effect was not bad.

With the successful preparation of gunpowder, all the heroes were impressed by Qin Yu, and the young people also had a trace of worship in their eyes, and their prestige was established invisibly.

In the past few days, Qin Yu has only conducted half-hour queue training for them every morning, and he doesn't dare to do other training at all.

"Mr. Huang, isn't this a good amount? How is it less than half? Qin Yu looked at the rice in the basket and frowned.

"Leader Xiao Qin, the king has an order, your firearms battalion doesn't need to prepare gunpowder now, so the supply is halved, and the old man also acts according to the order!"

An old man in his forties and fifties explained, touching his beard under his forehead.

"What, halving? This is not enough to eat, and if you halve it, you won't drink the northwest wind? Qin Yu almost jumped up.

He couldn't help but be in a hurry, there were 100 of them, and each of them was only an average of four or two meters a day, and now it was halved to two taels, and they could drink up to two porridges a day.

He originally planned to officially start training tomorrow, but now he is hanging on to his life with two porridges a day, how can he do it?

Yes, the rebels ate a big pot of rice, and although each battalion fired separately, the grain and salt were managed in a unified manner, and they were distributed to each battalion according to the number of people every day.

When entering the city, the gold and silver are fine and soft, the cloth and the woman, whoever grabs it belongs to whom, of course, the premise is that you can keep it, but only the grain, salt, horses, and iron tools must be handed over, and then distributed by the eight kings according to the merit.

"Hehe, boy, what's the matter, I don't think there is much food, Lao Tzu will give you an idea, how about a thousand catties in exchange for the girl that your father-in-law rewarded you?"

Just when the old man wanted to speak again, Sun Kewang staggered over with someone, and said in a weird way.

The rest of the battalions who came to receive the food laughed.

Qin Yu looked at Sun Kewang and gritted his teeth, he was sure that it was definitely what this guy said in front of Zhang Xianzhong that led to the order to reduce their food.

"You two come with me, and the rest stay here." Qin Yu knew that he still had to go to the Eight Great Kings.

"Too little? How about adding another 1,000 catties to Lao Tzu? ”

"Humph! Occupy the pit and don't shit, a group of small mongrels who have not dried up their milk, and waste so much food in vain. ”

Seeing that he ignored himself, Sun Kewang felt a punch hit the cotton, snorted coldly, stared at Qin Yu's back and scolded.

That beautiful woman, he originally planned to ask his father-in-law to reward him the next day, who had ever wanted to be the first to be taken by this kid, and he had been nested in the house for a few days and did not come out, with the second child to protect him, he was not good at rushing in and robbing it, so he was angry.

The eight teenagers who stayed in place, although they hated Sun Kewang in their hearts, had to bow their heads in unison and remain silent.

Even so, Sun Kewang still walked over, found a random reason, and beat the eight people half to death.

Fortunately, Li Dingguo arrived in time to stop it, otherwise the eight people would have died or been disabled.

………

Qin Yu came to the county office, Zhang Xianzhong was drunk and dreaming of death in the backyard, and he was very unhappy when he was interrupted.

"King, the supply of my firearms battalion is already the least, why do you have to halve it again?"

"Now there is no need to prepare gunpowder, why are you raising so many idlers for nothing?" Zhang Xianzhong was dumbfounded.

"But the king, if my men all starve to death, how will they prepare gunpowder and operate cannons in the future to attack the city for the king?"

"What can a broken cannon do? As for the preparation of gunpowder, don't you still have it, there are not enough manpower, and I will allocate it to you at that time. ”

Seeing that Qin Yu was going to say more, Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand a little impatiently: "Okay, this king has decided on this matter, you go down first, don't worry, I won't be hungry for you anyway, by the way, the girl who rewarded you last time is still obedient, right?" ”

"Back to the king, I trained him like a cat."

Qin Yu chuckled in his heart, but he pretended to be obscene with a smile on his face, knowing that this guy was tired of playing with the women in the back house, and began to think about Mrs. Li.

"Haha, yes, yes, I can't see that you are small, but your ability is not small, that girl is a fierce horse."

Zhang Xianzhong patted Qin Yu's shoulder and smiled.

Qin Yu had no choice but to laugh.

But out of the county office, I scolded Zhang Xianzhong's eighteenth generation ancestors in my heart, which is completely fucking crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

When he returned to the place where he received the grain, he saw that his eight subordinates were beaten and his nose was swollen, and he greeted Sun Kewang's eighteenth generation ancestor in his heart.

In the end, he could only carry twenty catties of grain back to the camp amid the ridicule of everyone.

Along the way, everyone's mood was very low, and the young man with the iron head was worried: "Chief, what should I do if I only have so much food?" ”

"Take one step at a time, rest assured, as long as you follow me, you will never starve to death."

Qin Yu waved his hand and comforted, but he was very worried in his heart, judging from Zhang Xianzhong's tone today, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be completely cut off from his food.

After returning to the camp, everyone saw that only a little food had been brought back, and the other eight people were injured, all of them were puzzled, and when they learned the reason for the incident, they were both worried and angry.

"What's the noise? If you don't want to be beaten or killed in the future, you have to practice my skills from tomorrow, only in this way can you eat enough in the future, live with dignity, and no one will dare to bully you indiscriminately, understand? ”

"Understood!"

Everyone replied in unison, all of them stood straight, obviously in the past few days, Qin Yu's queue training still had some effect.

"Okay, I'll find a way to deal with the food, you don't have to worry about it, your future task is to train with peace of mind, if I find anyone who dares to cheat and cheat, they will be expelled from the juvenile camp."

Qin Yu nodded, and then announced that he would disband and go to cook.

For dinner, each person was given a bowl of gruel.

"It's time to eat!"

Qin Yu came to the room and put three bowls of gruel on the table and beckoned.

The mother and daughter immediately came around, but Mrs. Li didn't say anything, and drank the gruel, but Li Wan'er couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiaoyu, why do you drink gruel tonight?" Still so little? ”

"And what else would you like to eat? Eat meat? ”

Qin Yu slammed the bowl on the table, and then roared: "Damn, that dog thing surnamed Sun, Lao Tzu will kill him one day!" ”

The mother and daughter were so frightened that the bowl almost fell to the ground, Li Wan'er's eyes were red, and she almost couldn't hold back her crying, but Mrs. Li hurriedly asked, "Childe, is something wrong?" ”
