The sun was shining, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a fleet of ships entered the river from the river and went upstream, Yuwenwen sat in the cabin and looked at the battle report he had just received: the imperial army broke through the tiger prison, and Yang Jun, the governor of Luozhou and the king of Qin, abandoned Luoyang and fled west to Shaanzhou, and Luozhou was then recovered by the Zhou State.

The Yellow River pontoon bridge, which had been interrupted for many years, reappeared between Heyang and Mengjin, and a large number of Zhou troops and grain and grass went south along the river bridge, accumulating strength and preparing to attack Shaanzhou in one go.

Another news, the Guanzhong Zhou army recovered Huazhou Prefecture to govern Zhengcheng and Huayin, the soldiers were in Tongguan, and the imperial army attacked Shaanzhou from east to west, the Pujin River Bridge had been burned off, and the Sui army in Hedong could not cross the river and march westward.

The Sui army of Shu and Longyou is assembling and preparing to fight hard, and Guanzhong has reached a critical moment.

"Guanzhong is full of military merits, but I am watching from the wall, which is really promoted by volunteers.

The response is very good, because you don't need cooking utensils to make bamboo tube rice, and the 'volunteers' who fight in the mountains like to solve the problem of eating in this way, bamboo is everywhere in the mountains, as long as you carry rice, find mountain spring water or stream water, and light a fire to get it.

The bamboo tube is cut now, the two ends are bamboo, dig a hole with a knife in the middle, put about two-thirds of the rice into it, and then put in an appropriate amount of mountain spring water, cover the mouth, and let the rice soak in a stick of incense for about a long time.

Then put the bamboo tube on the fire and roast it, turn the tube body while baking, and wait until the tube body is browned.

The volunteers who play hide and seek in the mountains and the village owners everywhere only need to carry a rice bag and a little salt, whether they hunt wild animals as meat, and rely on bamboo rice to stay in the mountains for more than a month.

And when Yang Ji was garrisoning Qikou, he also asked the soldiers to cook bamboo rice, the advantage is naturally that there is no need for cooking utensils, and there is no need for dishes to eat, and the disadvantage is that it is too wasteful of firewood.

It doesn't matter if there are dozens or hundreds of people, if it is a unit of 1,000 people, for example, in a military camp with a strength of 5,000 people, the scene of everyone scattered around the camp to make fires and roast bamboo tubes is too beautiful to imagine.

According to Yang Ji's summary, baking is not good, and the later improved method is steaming, but in this way, you have to bring cooking utensils, which goes against the original intention of improving portability, not to mention that if it is to be promoted on a large scale, the daily consumption of bamboo tubes when the army goes out is considerable.

If you prepare in advance, transporting and storing so many bamboo tubes will increase the logistical burden, and if you are cutting them near the campsite, what if there is not enough wild bamboo, or there is no bamboo at all?

Therefore, after the instant rice, Yuwenwen's plan to improve logistics failed again.

This is the second one, and then there is a third item, which is the kettle.

Yu Wenwen was eating bamboo tube rice, while looking at the bamboo kettle in his hand, this bamboo kettle was given to him by Yang Ji, for the trial work in the Xiyang City workshop, a small range of soldiers to try, and then collect various opinions.

The kettle is naturally used to hold water, and this bamboo kettle was "developed" as a soldier's carrying water tool, the purpose of which is to allow soldiers to drink water at any time.

It is the most basic physiological need that soldiers need to drink water not only when camping, but also when they are fighting.

The two armies are facing each other, a battle can be fought from morning to afternoon, the soldiers in the formation wear armor to endure the sun and nervousness, will keep sweating, thirsty but have no chance to go back to the camp or go to the river, pond to drink, at this time the water equipment is very important.

Even in the era of hot weapons, military kettles are indispensable for soldiers, so Yu Wenwen's "new thinking" is to standardize kettles, so the selection of materials has become the key.

In this era, the carrying gear for water is generally a leather water bladder or a bamboo tube, or a gourd, no matter which has advantages and disadvantages.

The skin water bladder is sewn with sheepskin or cowhide, pigskin, and the inner tank is made with a bladder, if it is made in the grassland where cattle and sheep are flocked, it is convenient, and the cost can not be reduced if it can be made on a large scale in the south of the Yangtze River.

Gourds can be used on a small scale, but how many gourds do you need for an army of thousands of people? Based on the purpose of saving money, Yuwenwen chose to use the bamboo tube as the soldier's carrying water tool, the bamboo kettle is strong and should not be damaged, the material is convenient and the price is low, the only problem is that it will grow moldy or seepage after a long time.

And the bamboo kettle he was holding in his hand had a serious moldy inner wall.

It's good to say that the water seepage is good, and if it grows moldy, it is still used to fill it with water, and God knows what disease will arise when it is drunk in the stomach, so the bamboo tube with mold will either be cleaned or replaced, and Yuwenwen's idea is to make a durable bamboo kettle and become a "standard equipment".

In order to solve the problem of mold, the solution adopted is to install the inner liner, such as the glass bottle liner, the tin bottle liner, and the gap between the bamboo tube and stuff the sawdust as a buffer.

The technology content is very high, but the production cost of this bamboo kettle is also very high, it is better to wait for the inner wall of the bamboo kettle to mold and replace it with a new one.

New thinking failed one after another, Yu Wenwen was a little discouraged, but he didn't care, now he was bored watching on the wall, and he was just looking for something to do.

There are many bamboos in the south of the Yangtze River, bamboo products can play many tricks, fast food and carrying water utensils, no matter what, there must be a breakthrough, as long as it can enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, any idea must be tried.

Thinking of this, the bamboo tube in front of him was already empty, and Yuwen licked his lips warmly: "Zhang Yu, have another bamboo tube rice!" ”
