Chapter 34: After the First Battle
Looking at the private soldiers again, their faces were pale, most of them vomited profusely, and only a few of them endured it, and they never felt good.
There was a smell of blood mixed with the smell of vomit mixed with a hint of alcohol in the air, and it definitely didn't smell good.
Zhang Hao frowned and looked at these private soldiers, and called Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and other generals to his side.
"Tell us to go down and clean up this place, burn and bury all the bodies, and we'll rest here tonight." Zhang Hao said lightly.
These corpses must be disposed of, otherwise after decomposing, it is very easy to breed plagues, which often occur during this period of history, most of which are caused by improper disposal of corpses.
"Right here?" Zhao Yun looked at those private soldiers and asked a little unbearably.
"yes, right here, that's what they have to go through." Zhang Hao said.
In fact, he is also very unbearable, these people were originally ordinary people, where have they killed people, and now they not only kill people, but also spend the night in the place where they were killed, and the pressure in his heart can be imagined.
Zhang Hao said, these people can understand, did not speak again, they went to gather their subordinates, first carried all the corpses to a clearing, poured wine, and lit them with a fire.
With a puff of smoke and a burst of scorching smell, the private soldiers who had just calmed down instantly vomited wildly.
"Zihan, why don't you go to the bottom of the mountain to rest, and Shengji and I can just watch here." Tong Fei said to Zhang Hao with some worry.
"No problem." Zhang Hao waved his hand and said.
Although it was not the first time he had seen this kind of scene, Zhang Hao's heart still couldn't be calm, he insisted on staying, first, to share weal and woe with these private soldiers, and at the same time to exercise his own heart.
By the time it was dark, the entire cottage had been cleaned up, and even the various smells in the air had almost dissipated.
Even so, when eating, there are still occasional people who run to the side and vomit, and even if they don't vomit, they don't eat much.
After falling asleep at night, there will be an exclamation from time to time, and there will be tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, some will have nightmares after falling asleep, shouting in their sleep, and some will suddenly wake up after falling asleep.
Until the next day, on the way back, the group of people was still restless, and when they returned to Xinghuo Village, Zhang Hao called the generals and Hua Tuo together.
"This training is quite successful, and the shortcomings of their respective subordinates have basically been exposed, and we must strengthen training in the future."
"The most important thing is to help them get through this level in their hearts, Mr. Yuanhua, I will bother you to worry a lot about this aspect, and cooperate with the various ministries to deal with it." Zhang Hao sat at the top and concluded.
"No problem, I'll leave it to the old man." Hua Tuo replied.
Because Hua Tuo was born and died with everyone before, he was very familiar with these people who led the troops, and there was no problem with cooperation.
"In terms of training, this time should be more relaxed, just complete some daily training every day, and the time for farming is approaching, so that they can participate and have more contact with people."
"Yes," the men who led the troops stood up and clenched their fists.
"Brother Shengji, you still need to coordinate the cultivation matter."
"Don't worry, no problem."
"I will also work with you, some new crops may be different from traditional crops in cultivation, and we will solve them together." Zhang Hao added.
"So good, so good." Gongsun Du laughed.
If it weren't for Zhang Hao's help, he would still have a headache, and he hadn't even seen these things that Zhang Hao brought back, let alone farming.
"Brother Shengji, I'll find some smart people in a while, I'll teach them first, let them teach others, okay, let's disperse."
After a while, Gongsun Du found forty or fifty people to learn from Zhang Hao to cultivate these new crops.
"This is a sweet potato, one acre can harvest dozens of stones, spread everywhere, cut its stems for seeding, plough a stem this year, you can plant hundreds of acres the next year, you can be used as rice grain, even in the year of the great murder can also ensure that it is not affected by disasters"
"It also uses less land and makes more profits, it is easy to irrigate, it is rooted in deep soil, the leaves on it are eaten up, and it can be resurrected, and the locust plague has nothing to do with it." Zhang Hao said slowly.
He not only has to tell them how to plant, but also has to tell them the benefits, and in the future, it will depend on them to publicize it on a large scale.
"I know you can't believe it yet, but you'll know when the harvest comes." Zhang Hao looked at everyone's unbelieving eyes and said with a smile.
"Now I'll show you how to plant it, and we can cut it open, cut it into two or three pieces, and stick it in the middle, half of it in the water, and half of it will be exposed." Zhang Hao said and did at the same time.
Put a piece of sweet potato with a stick inserted in a small bottle, the stick is stuck in the mouth of the bottle, and then take out a bottle that has been prepared a long time ago, and there is a piece of sweet potato that has grown seedlings on it.
"This is what I planted before, and now the seedlings have grown, so you can take the seedlings down and plant them in the soil."
"And it does not require much water and fertilizer, of course, fertilization can also make him grow bigger, and there will be a harvest without fertilization, don't look at us This is a newly reclaimed wasteland, and the harvest will definitely not be less." Zhang Hao said confidently.
"My lord, this one looks so similar to a sweet potato, isn't it also grown like this?" asked a teenager holding a potato.
"It's called a potato, it's simpler than a sweet potato, just cut it and bury it in the soil." Zhang Hao said, cutting a potato in his hand into three pieces.
"Pay attention, make sure you have a small bud on each piece when you cut it." Zhang Hao picked up a piece and pointed to the small bud on it and said.
"My lord, just bury it in the ground?" One of the men asked, incredulously.
"Of course, if you bury it in the soil and fertilize and water it, you will harvest a lot of potatoes." Zhang Hao smiled and said.
"My lord, how did you grow this?" A man asked, holding a stick of corn.
"Well, you can't just plant it like this, you have to ...... like this."
Zhang Hao said and did at the same time, hundreds of plants explained how to cultivate one by one, of course, many of them Zhang Hao did not know how to plant, so let people plant casually, it is naturally good to be able to grow them, and it doesn't matter if they can't be planted.
Zhang Hao spoke seriously, and these people listened seriously, and they would ask questions from time to time, until it was dark Zhang Hao talked about all the crops.
But these people are still unsatisfied, reluctantly returning to their own residences, and some people will get together in three or five people to study a certain crop that Zhang Hao talked about.
And Zhang Hao talked for a whole day, and when he spoke, he didn't feel it in Xingtouer, and as soon as this person dispersed, he suddenly felt that his throat was abnormal.
"This is a good job for Yide, who usually speaks louder than I shout." Zhang Hao said to himself with a wry smile.
