Chapter 535: Three Joys Are Coming
Mo Wu glanced at Merton, and with Merton's encouragement, he took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "You don't need medicine to treat night blindness, you just need dietary therapy." ”
"Diet!" Everyone immediately looked at each other.
Mo Wu said in a deep voice: "After comparison, it was found that the captured Tuyuhun soldiers did not have a single night blindness, and they also went to the Turkic departments to check the same, and our army has night blindness is extremely common. ”
Li Daliang frowned and said: "This is not a problem of one side of the water and soil and one side of the people, maybe the water and soil of all parts of the grassland can avoid night blindness." ”
Mo Wu shook his head and said: "That's not the case, and the same people in Guanzhong, butchers, hunters, and soldiers from high-class families do not have night blindness, and I believe that the generals also do not have night blindness." ”
The generals couldn't help but ignore it, and nodded slowly, they did not have night blindness.
"If the soldiers in our army who do not suffer from night blindness are compared with the Tuyuhun warriors and the Turkic warriors, then I am afraid there is only one thing in common."
Mo Wu paused and said confidently: "That's eating meat!" Meat-eaters do not suffer from night blindness, and meat-free people suffer from night blindness. Wealthy families and steppe tribes are not short of meat at all, but poor families in the interior cannot eat meat several times a year, which is why many poor families in the army have night blindness!
"Eat meat!"
The generals immediately looked at each other, they could not have imagined that the cause of night blindness could be so simple.
"Yes, it's that simple, the kid in the Mo Hospital, once found that the people of Chang'an City are rich, very few have night blindness, and the rural people are poor, many have night blindness, it is not a secret, the kid also had night blindness a year ago, and it is quite serious, even the entire Mojia Village has most of the night blindness, but since the young master led the Mojia Village to become rich, not only the boy's night blindness has been cured, but in the entire Mojia Village, no one takes medicine, and the disease of night blindness has gradually disappeared. Before, the kid was secretly puzzled, but now that he thinks about it, I am afraid that it is the reason why there is no shortage of meat in Mojia Village since then. Mo Wu bowed gratefully to Merton.
Hearing Mo Wu's use of a large number of facts, coupled with the example of himself and Mojia Village, everyone believed that I am afraid that the disease of night blindness is really due to the lack of meat.
Thinking of this moment, everyone couldn't help but be amazed, the staple food in the army before was corn, if it weren't for the compressed dry food made by Merton, I'm afraid that there would still be very little oil meat in the army.
"But now that the big war is coming, is it too late to eat meat?" Li Daliang said worriedly.
Merton smiled bitterly: "It's in time, it's not a secret, my firearms supervisor was the first to make compressed dry food, and the guy who was responsible for cooking meat has already recovered his night blindness." ”
The generals couldn't help but laugh suddenly, the cook can't die of hunger in a cheap year, they naturally understand this truth, obviously this guy didn't eat less, and no one could catch it when he ate it to his stomach, and now the unlucky guy is afraid that because of night blindness, he suddenly showed up, this guy knocked down Merton, I don't know if he was lucky or poured blood mold for eight lifetimes.
"Now that the root cause has been found, it depends on whether the general is willing to give up the capital." Merton looked at Li Jingdao.
Li Jing's heart twitched, and he supplied meat to the 200,000 army, which is an astronomical amount, but now is not the time to be stingy, and he waved his hand and said: "General Su, first slaughter the captured cattle and sheep from the three forts of Tuyuhun and supply them to the army for food first, and at the same time immediately supply a large number of cattle and sheep to all departments of the Qiang people of the party, whether it is bought or exchanged, the meat of the army must be guaranteed." ”
As long as night blindness is solved, Li Jing's plan will be perfect, and at this time, Li Jing will naturally not be stingy at this time.
Su Dingfang immediately bowed down and said, "Yes!" ”
Seeing this, Li Jing suddenly shouted: "Okay, then it's decided, all armies should hurry up and rectify, and on the first day of the fifth month, our army and Tuyuhun will fight to the death." ”
On the brick road from Lanzhou to Chang'an City, now the military's grain transport team has completely replaced the post station with the magpie's nest, people found in the transportation process, the speed of the four-horse horse-drawn carriage, although not as fast as riding a horse, but the victory is long-lasting, especially from the grain convoy from Lanzhou City back to Chang'an, the empty car departure its journey is doubled.
In three days, the messenger of the good news lay comfortably on the empty carriage and rested for three days, and he had already arrived in Chang'an City.
The messenger untied a horse, turned over and rode on, and galloped towards Chang'an City.
"Tuyuhun Three Castles Victory!"
When the messenger roared through Chang'an City, in an instant, the entire Chang'an City was boiling, and everyone rushed to tell each other and cheered loudly.
"Okay, the three forts of Tuyuhun came down overnight, the damage was minimal, and the firearms supervisor really disappointed me." In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin looked at the good news and said excitedly.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The ministers are also happy in the color path.
Seeing that the progress of the army was so smooth, the original worries of the ministers were also in vain.
Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a mysterious smile: "This is just one of the joys, General Li also brought back some delicacies from Lanzhou to me, you can taste it and see how it tastes." ”
"Food? Food from Lanzhou? The ministers immediately looked at each other, they were in a high position, and they had not tasted any food, and it was the food of three days ago, which made the pampered ministers even more repulsed. Not to mention the food after three days, it is the food of the next meal, after they are in a high position, they have never eaten it.
Li Shimin smiled at the corner of his mouth, did not speak, but waved his big hand, and Pang De suddenly held a tray and sent it to the ministers, only to see a tray on the tray, and a plate of compressed dry food was impressively placed.
"Is this dry food?" Fang Xuanling picked up a palm-sized piece of compressed dry food, frowned, and said, his age is not young, for hard things, it is more than enough and not enough.
Some old ministers in the DPRK and China also held the compressed dry food in their hands and were in a dilemma.
Li Shimin explained: "This is the new type of military food that this kid made up on the front line, called compressed dry food, don't look at him as just a small piece, but it is compressed by gravity, and eating a piece is enough to fill a stomach. ”
"Really?" Qin Qiong's face was full of shock and said, a piece can be eaten for a day, no matter how you hear it, it feels incredible, and the other important ministers also looked at the small piece of dry food in their hands in disbelief.
"If you can eat enough, you will know if you eat a piece?" Li Shimin said.
At that moment, Qin Qiong couldn't wait to eat a few bites, and couldn't help but say with a light in her eyes: "There is actually meat, and it tastes good." ”
Seeing this, the other ministers ate with confidence, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, the generals felt very full after eating a whole piece, and some Wenchen, who had a small amount of food, couldn't eat even half a piece.
"It's really full!" Qin Qiong hiccuped.
"In this way, our army will go on an expedition, and the worry of military rations will definitely be relieved." The ministers of the court and the central government are all old ministers who pacify the world, and naturally know the importance of grain and grass, so they can easily carry a month's worth of military rations by compressing dry food. I just don't know how long this compressed dry food can be maintained.
"This is compressed dry food from 10 days ago." Li Shimin said.
"Ten days!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and when they just ate it, they didn't feel the slightest smell at all, which was quite delicious.
"Not only that, according to Li Aiqing's report, Merton boasted that this compressed dry food can be stored for at least two months, and it is like wrapping it in oiled paper, which can be stored for half a year. Li Shimin smiled slyly.
The ministers immediately laughed, thinking that after the kid returned to Chang'an City, he didn't know what his expression was when he ate this piece of dry food that had been left for half a year.
"Today, I'm waiting for Datang, but it's double happiness!" Fang Xuanling smiled happily.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, it's three joys." In the Western Expeditionary Army, the five doctors who went out with the army have found a solution to night blindness in the army? ”
