One Thousand and Seventy-Eight, Don't Stop!

Speaking of which, pork has long been quite unpopular.

Although pork has been in people's recipes for a long time, if the breeding method and cooking method are not correct, the pork will be fishy and difficult to swallow.

Therefore, after Guo occupied the local development force, while promoting the breeding of chickens, ducks and geese, he also paid attention to the promotion of raising pigs.

When raising pigs, special attention should be paid to the castration of boars other than breeding pigs.

Guo Peng ordered that such a method be promoted to the people, so that some people who have mastered the relevant skills can go deep into the people to teach the method and help pig farmers to do things, so the pigs raised do not have so many peculiar smells, and the meat is still fast, fat and strong.

After a long time, because of the rapid reproduction of pigs, the large number of pigs raised, and the large number of pigs raised in the army, government and people, the price of pork can soon be compared with the large-scale breeding of duck meat to control locusts.

It's just as cheap, and it tastes a lot better.

After the iron pot became popular, the practice of pork was also improved a lot, so pork began to become popular all over the world, and various pork dishes began to appear on the stage of history.

Under the instructions of Guo, the imperial chefs who are in charge of Guo's diet used soy sauce and sugar to restore a casserole braised pork with good quality for Guo, so that Guo once again found the memory taste in the depths of his soul.

I have to say that pork is fragrant, if it is not too greasy to fit Guo's dietary plan, Guo is really willing not to leave pork at every meal.

It's a pity that for the sake of fitness, in order to keep the body healthy and strong, Guo only eats such delicious food occasionally.

However, since such a delicacy appeared, Guo was also very willing to [enjoy with the people], so this dish soon spread from the palace to the outside of the palace.

The wine shops in Luoyang City were the first to launch this [palace dish], which aroused the popularity of this dish in the entire Luoyang City, and then the wealthy families with conditions followed suit and took pride in treating braised pork as their own signature dish to entertain guests.

For a time, [Luoyang meat is expensive].

So now, not only the people at the bottom, but also the dignitaries and dignitaries also have a lot of people who like to eat pork, and they also let their own cooks toss new dishes to keep up with the trend of eating pork.

So soon, duck and pork became the main source of meat for the Wei people.

Guo paid attention to some innovations in food, so he soon popularized the use of salted meat or air-dried meat and bacon to increase the storage time of meat, and gave the army more ways to improve food.

And after this method matured, it was also applied to strategic storage.

Guo stored a large amount of meat for the army to use in the future long-distance Northern Expedition.

Now, this method has shown great effect, a large number of cured meat for the Wei army's Northern Expedition to provide sufficient protein, oil and water needs, looking at the warehouses full of cured meat, the officials in charge of statistics have been very shocked by this.

Not only cured and dried meats, but also fresh meats.

According to the statistics of Bingzhou and Youzhou, the emperor was raising large-scale war horses at the same time, and also raising grassland sheep on a large scale, with a number of more than 300,000.

In order to let the sheep and the army go together when they march and fight in the future, eat and kill at any time, eat fresh meat, and replenish sufficient protein and fat.

This is also modeled after the marching habits of the nomads, the army walks, the horses follow, the cattle and sheep also follow, and they eat and graze wherever they go, which greatly reduces the logistical pressure.

In this way, the nomads strengthened their own logistical capabilities and gained the upper hand for a while.

That's right, if these more than 300,000 sheep are all thrown into this war and follow the army, it will really relieve too much pressure on the logistics personnel.

Walking rations don't take much manpower and material resources to transport, which is too convenient.

The military department in charge of logistics was greatly surprised when he learned of this.

With such abundant food reserves, how can you worry that this battle will not be won?

The emperor was always like this, and before the war took place, he had already laid the victory for the soldiers.

While the people were still thinking about the outcome of the war, the emperor had already decided that the battle would be won.

A large amount of cured and air-dried meat was added to the recipes of the Wei army, a large amount of walking fresh meat was also added to the recipes of the Wei army, and a large amount of rice noodles was naturally an indispensable staple food for the Wei army's advance.

Just eating meat, Guo really can't afford the needs of 200,000 troops, and it's almost okay to count rice and noodles.

When the Wei army went on an expedition, they basically did not eat boiled rice, but ate large pancakes.

Grind the rice grain into flour and make it into fragrant big pancakes to bring on your body, which is delicious, hungry, and easy to carry.

Anyway, everyone is one person and two horses, and there is not much pressure to carry military supplies.

Front-line combatants need rations, and logistics and transportation personnel also need rations, and the mobilization of 500,000 to 700,000 auxiliaries and civilians to transport food for the front line is even greater.

Of course, the rations of auxiliaries and civilians would not cost as much money as front-line combat soldiers, but they were almost three times as large as front-line combat soldiers.

In this way, the rations they need are also astronomical, and it is not known whether these warehouses can afford it.

In addition to people, there are also transporting livestock, which feed many times more than people, and it is hoped that the pasture on the grassland can alleviate some of the input in this regard, otherwise it will be an astronomical expenditure.

Although the materials accumulated in the warehouse are also astronomical, no matter how astronomical the amount is, it will be consumed by hundreds of thousands of people in turn, and it will not be able to withstand it.

A large number of accountants have been calculating, rushing, statistical, and comparing data day and night, warehouse by warehouse.

The total amount of food rations required by a person is then calculated, as has been the practice in the past.

How many rations are needed for front-line combatants, and how many rations are needed for a person in charge of logistics, etc.

During the pre-Han Dynasty, when the army went on an expedition, it was necessary to calculate the rations required by people of different ranks according to their respective status and ranks.

For example, what specifications should be rationed for officers at all levels, how officials at all levels should be rationed, and so on, are different for each level, and it is quite cumbersome and difficult to calculate.

During the Wei Empire, in order to reduce the burden of calculation in this area and to reduce material consumption, Guo Peng deliberately stipulated that there were only two calculation standards in wartime.

Combat personnel and logistics personnel.

Let's just count according to these two criteria.

The combatants eat a little more, a little better, because they have to fight hard.

The logistics staff ate a little less, a little less, because although they were tired, they were at least safe.

In non-wartime, according to that set of rules, if the status is high, the high rank and high rank will eat better, and the ordinary big-headed soldiers will eat a little worse, but in wartime, this situation is not allowed, from the marshal to the big-headed soldiers, they all eat the same combat food.

From the officials in charge of logistics to the recruited people, all logistics personnel also eat the same logistics food, and they are not allowed to engage in specialization.

Everyone's food arrangements are arranged according to the calculation in advance, and there is no room for any difference, and this kind of specialization is carried out during the war, and once it is discovered, it will be dismissed from office, lost from office, and beheaded at worst.

It's a lot of work, that's for sure.

In order to reduce the burden on the staff under him, and also to reduce unnecessary food loss, Guo led by example, even if the emperor personally recruited, he ate the same combat food as the front-line soldiers.

With the emperor taking the lead, who else dares to openly engage in specialization, it is really looking for death.

People can be simply divided according to the eyes of combatants and logistics personnel, but it is really not possible to carry livestock in this way.

They don't have this kind of awareness, they can eat as much as they should, and if they don't eat enough, something will really happen.

How much do you need for a war horse, how much do you need for a horse, how much do you need for an ox, how much do you need for a donkey, how much do you need for a mule.

And so on and so forth.

There is also loss along the way.

From the warehouse to the front-line combat zone, how much is consumed along the way, and how much can really be delivered to the front-line soldiers before delivery.

If the time lasts for a long time, will there be food spoilage and the like, will there be any loss along the way, and how much can the loss rate of this part be tolerated?

After a calculation, the calculated data is enough to dazzle.

This makes people feel more deeply the profound truth that fighting a war is a logistics fight, and makes people very clearly understand the consumption of wealth and savings by fighting a war.

Hundreds or thousands of accountants worked collectively, calculated and worked together to calculate and compile data, and quickly sent the data one by one to the military headquarters and staff desks, and then summarized the data.

Based on these data, the military department arranges the transportation of personnel, how many people are arranged for each place to be transported, which route to take, and how much time it takes to transport the grain and grass to the next destination, so as to calculate the time for grain and grass to arrive at the front line.

Based on this data, the staff station determines the daily marching distance of the army and plans the marching route of the army.

In the marching plan drawn up by the staff station, it is absolutely impossible to let the army advance faster than the limit of its logistical delivery capacity, so as to avoid the collapse of logistics caused by the stretching of the battle line too long, which will then affect the battle situation on the front line.

All of this is calculated with considerable precision.

And on the basis of these precise calculations, the staff officers can carry out accurate war deductions to a considerable extent.

Then the staff officers of the staff station can formulate tactics according to these actual logistical conditions, stipulate how the army will move, how to fight, how to observe the time and cooperate with the logistics troops, and so on.

The basic outcome of the war was very much different, basically within this range.

Since Guo began to implement this set of war planning methods, the Wei army's march and conquest have never departed from the estimation of the staff station.

The level of the staff officers of this session is very high.

Guo has praised the staff station so much.

However, the staff station is not omnipotent, and the staff station also has very difficult points.

Where the front-line army can fight depends on where the grain can be delivered, and only when the grain can keep up can the battle continue.

Therefore, there is not a single staff officer who does not want everyone in the logistics unit to be Gundam.

If everyone in the logistics unit is a Gundam Iron Man, then it really means where to fight, and with the strength of the Wei army, it can definitely sweep away all enemies.

So.

Don't stop your logistics!

But the logistics troops bitterly said that they are human beings, and there is definitely a limit, if they don't want this limit, unless everyone is not a human being.

Therefore, every time there is a war, the staff station will definitely quarrel with the military headquarters in charge of logistics and transportation.
