"You Aiqing may not know why I want to conquer the Western Regions thousands of miles away......" Qin Shi Huang stood up and walked to the front of the map, pointing to the location of Great Qin above, "This is my Great Qin, and the Western Regions is the only way to the Western Kingdoms......"

Looking at this huge map, in addition to Chen Xu and Meng Tian, Feng Quji, Meng Yi and the others looked confused, staring blankly at the location of the Western Regions pointed out by Qin Shi Huang.

"Your Majesty, you ...... Are you saying that there are many foreign countries in the West? After staying for a long time, Feng Qujian stood up with a trembling face and stammered and asked.

"Yes, this world is not what we knew before, and my Central Plains is not the center of the world, after passing through the Western Regions, it will reach the Western countries, this Dawan and Daxia continue to the west, there are Kangju and body poison, and continue to the west There are powerful countries such as Anxi and Greece and Rome, I conquered the Western Regions not on a whim, but to open the passage to the Western countries in advance, and the Western Regions must be controlled by my Great Qin, otherwise once the Western countries occupy the Western Regions, it will pose a great threat to my Great Qin......"

"How...... How so? Meng Yi tugged at his beard with a dull face, and his two eyes almost fell out.

As Shangqing, as the supervisory body of the entire Great Qin, he had never heard of this unbelievable thing, and since ancient times, everyone had always thought that Huaxia was the most prosperous area in the center of the earth, but this map of the world completely subverted this concept.

"Brother, you already know about this?" Seeing that the old god was sitting beside Meng Tian, Meng Yi asked in a low voice.

"I've heard a little!" Meng Tian nodded slightly.

Meng Yi: ......

"Your Majesty, where did this world map come from?" Meng Yi's face twitched for a long time and then looked at the emperor.

Chen Xu stood up, "Feng Xiang, Doctor Meng, this picture was dedicated to Your Majesty a few years ago, because at the beginning, the neighbors of Great Qin and the Xiongnu Donghu and Yue's Baiyue were not conquered, so I reminded Your Majesty not to reveal it too early, now except for Lingnan, all are pacified, Baiyue has Tongwu Marquis in charge, and it will be pacified in a year or two, so Your Majesty began to plan to attack the countries of the Western Regions, and now the generals and soldiers in the military camp are panicked due to the unsuitability of the water and soil, which will inevitably affect the great cause of the Western Map, so it is also necessary to be cautious, and the withdrawal of troops is categorical, Because this coming and going will take half a year alone, the best way is to make a large number of Central Plains food and medicines for treating diseases as soon as possible to enhance the physical fitness of the soldiers. ”

"The medicine is good, and the grain is currently sufficient in the granaries of various places, but the transportation is very troublesome!" Feng Qu shook his head and sat down.

Since this map Chen Xu had already been dedicated to the emperor, the emperors of the Western Regions had already begun to arrange it.

And today the emperor took out this map, and his mind was also clear, according to his understanding of the emperor, it was impossible to withdraw the army, and he could only solve the problem of food and medicine as soon as possible as Chen Xu said, and the ultimate goal was to control the Western Regions in the hands of Daqin.

"Does Qinghehou have a good way to solve the grain transshipment?" The Emperor returned to his place and sat down.

Chen Xu: ......

What is a good way for Nima Laozi, there are no cars or airplanes and trains, so he can only rely on shoulders and people to pile up food when transporting food.

However, the emperor hurriedly called him, and certainly did not want to hear this.

But Lao Tzu really doesn't know how to carry Dafa in the air, and transporting grain and grass is the business of Shangshu Province, and Lao Tzu is only responsible for signing and sealing the book and edict.

Chen Xu tugged his chin depressedly, and almost wiped out a few beards.

Zichen Hall was very quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xu.

Before Chen Xu came, a group of people had been discussing this matter for nearly half an hour, but they had not found any easy solution.

"Your Majesty, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and the transportation of grain back and forth is indeed a huge project, but there is no good way to do this, so you can only start by making food, and the minister thinks that you can make a large number of mixed military rations, and distribute simple cooking utensils, so that the soldiers on the front line can drink clean hot water and eat the familiar Central Plains food, and then cooperate with medicine to regulate the stomach, strengthen hygiene habits, and maximize the physique of the soldiers, as for the other ministers, they are helpless at the moment!" Chen Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"What is mixed military rations, and what is simple cooking utensils?" The Emperor's eyes lit up slightly while he was disappointed.

"The so-called mixed military rations are to use fried corn and beans to grind into powder, add dried vegetable and vegetable granules, minced beef and mutton, tea, salt and grease and mix them to make military rations, each piece is about four taels, and then each soldier is equipped with an enamel iron jar, when eating, only need to put the mixed military rations into the enamel tea jar, add water to boil and eat, if the battlefield is urgent and can not be cooked, you can also eat directly, but it is best to drink hot water after boiling, many diseases are actually caused by an unclean diet, Therefore, it is necessary to let the front-line soldiers strengthen their diet and living habits, do not eat uncooked meat, do not drink dirty water and raw water, and can also collect more garlic to eat and detoxify, now that the Western Regions have been conquered, Your Majesty does not need to rush to attack the Western Regions, but first stabilize the Western Regions, strengthen trade and exchanges, so that the Central Plains and the Western Regions are closely linked, and lay a good foundation for attacking the Western countries in the future, and even Your Majesty can invite the leaders and kings of those tribes and states in the Western Regions to visit Xianyang, Let them see the richness, strength and prosperity of my Great Qin, so that they can be more desperate to join Great Qin, so that the prestige of my Great Qin will continue to be transmitted to the West through the countries of the Western Regions, and in a few years, maybe more countries will submit to it and surrender without a fight......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the Marquis of Qinghe said is right, since ancient times, to conquer, to win, the western country is far away, tens of thousands of miles away, only with my Great Qin lone army deep labor expedition is not a long-term strategy, only to stabilize the Western Regions first, and then slowly figure it out, if there are countries in the West that take the initiative to submit, it will definitely reduce the casualties of my Great Qin soldiers!" Meng Tian stood up and clenched his fists and said.

"Marquis Jingwu's words are reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" Feng Quji and Meng Yi gave up together.

Qin Shi Huang was slightly silent and nodded.

Although the plot to the Western Regions went smoothly, the lone expedition went deep into the distance of 10,000 miles, which was a military operation that had never been seen in the Central Plains, and at present, the soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, causing confusion in the army's mind, which was a very bad phenomenon, if this matter was not resolved and the attack to the west continued, there would inevitably be even worse news in the future.

Half an hour later, Chen Xu, Feng Quji, Meng Yi and the others came out of the Zichen Palace.

Making compressed military rations is a way to solve the problem of front-line soldiers who are not adapted, and after the production is successful, the transfer will be much easier, the most important thing is to eat conveniently, the only way is to preserve, but now it is autumn, and the Western Regions have even begun to enter winter, and there will be no mildew in a short time, and the rest is to make it as soon as possible, and then transport it before the snow, this time is very urgent.

Chen Xu, Feng Quji, Zhou Jiong, and Xu Fu went to Shangshu Province to negotiate for half an hour and assigned their respective tasks clearly.

The medicine can only be prepared by the pharmaceutical factory under the health center, and Chen Xu doesn't have to worry about this.

At present, there are several pharmaceutical factories under the health center, which make all kinds of common powders and pills, and the drugs for treating food accumulation and regulating the stomach and intestines are not complicated, that is, common Chinese medicines such as yam, hawthorn, tangerine peel, codonopsis, and atractylodes, etc., which are steamed and fried and rubbed into pills, and the stomach and intestines are not balanced, and the spleen and stomach are weak to eat some can be slowly solved, if it can't be solved, it can only look at the means of the military doctors, which is far from quenching the thirst.

And mixed compressed military food production is not complicated, Liyang, Zhiyang and Meiyang counties have always had a special workshop for making military food, before the military food of Daqin is a kind of baked coarse grain cake, each weighing several catties, before sending out the army, each soldier sent one, with a rope hanging on the neck hidden in the clothes, just like armor, so this kind of military food is called pot helmet, not only can be eaten, but also can enhance the ability to protect, this kind of pot helmet taste is very poor, can only be hungry, delicious even if it's delicious, and the pot helmet of later generations can not be compared.

In addition to this kind of baked coarse grain flour cake, the military rations of the Qin army also have soybean sauce and even salted fish and salted meat, the so-called soybean sauce is made of soybeans, and the taste of the pastry dipped in the sauce is much better, as for the salted fish and salted meat, that is the treatment that only generals can enjoy, and even senior generals will have a special chef with the army to make meals, but it is only limited to eating enough.

At present, the military rations that Chen Xu wants to make are much more complicated than pot helmets, which are fried with corn and soybeans, then ground into flour, add tea, salt and dried vegetables, beef and mutton, add some beef and mutton fat, mix them with some beef and mutton fat, and press them into a piece-by-piece shape.

Grain, vegetables, beef and mutton and tea are naturally prepared by Feng Qujian Zhang Luo, Daqin has enough food at the moment, and after conquering the Xiongnu, Donghu and Yueshi, there is no shortage of beef and mutton, and there is also oil, as for the number of tea requirements, there is not much to ask the front-line soldiers to make tea, but it is definitely not possible to mix some in the food and eat some can also regulate the body, as for whether the taste is good or not, it is none of Chen Xu's business, anyway, he will not eat it himself.

Rather love the hometown of a twist of soil, don't miss the hometown of ten thousand taels of gold.

Only those who have been away from their hometown for too long will appreciate this kind of nostalgia for the taste of their hometown, and now the soldiers of Daqin are traveling thousands of miles in a distant foreign land, and they will miss the food and taste of their hometown even more when they are not adapted.

Including Chen Xu, too, is extremely worried about pickled peppers and the old godmother now, if someone gives him a little now, it will definitely move him to tears.
