Lü Bu developed a repeating crossbow and gave samples to the craftsmen, demanding that they produce a thousand within a month.

He developed a powerful crossbow that could hold thirty arrows in each magazine.

After all the bolts have been fired, you can continue firing them by snapping a new magazine.

According to the calculation that each soldier carries twenty arrow magazines, 1,000 strong crossbows must be equipped with 600,000 crossbow arrows.

After the craftsmen got the samples, they figured out the structure and rushed to make it overnight.

Almost the entire Xuzhou craftsmen were mobilized, and the construction period was still very tight.

After handing over the repeating crossbow to the craftsmen to make according to the style, Lu Bu returned to the study and waited for the guards to bring the man.

It didn't take long for several men to arrive.

He never thought that Lu Bu would actually summon them, and the men stood in front of him in a row, all of them looking cramped and uneasy.

After looking at their faces, Lu Bu asked, "Am I terrible?" ”

Several men hurriedly replied: "Chu Hou is kind, and he is not terrible at all......

"Since it's not scary, what are you all shaking?" Lu Bu smiled indifferently and said to the guys: "I came to you to discuss with you on a very important matter, and see if you have a way to solve it." ”

Standing with his head bowed facing him, the men were silent.

Lu Bu summoned them, of course, there was something for them to do.

The guys only hope that things are not too complicated, in case the things are arranged, they can't complete them, and the sin is not light.

He had already seen that these guys looked uneasy, and Lu Bu didn't say anything else to them, but just asked them: "I ask you, if I want to make dry food in large quantities, how long can you keep it?" ”

As soon as he asked, the guys were relieved and raised their heads tremblingly.

One of them said to Lu Bu: "Back to Chuhou, dry grain storage, at least one month, at most three or five months, depends on whether the drying is dry, but also depends on where it is stored." ”

"I'm going to let the soldiers take them into battle." Lu Bu said: "It's too troublesome to always bury the pot and cook when the army is marching and fighting, can you make dry food that mixes vegetarian vegetables, meat and grain?" ”

When he asked, the guys were really asked.

When it comes to making dry food, they do know how to get it.

But they didn't have any dry food mixed with vegetables and meat.

Or did the guy cautiously ask Lu Bu: "Does Chu Hou want to mix meat and vegetables in the grain and make it into dry food for the soldiers to carry?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Bu asked, "Do you find it difficult?" ”

Several men glanced at each other, and another said: "It is not difficult, but I am afraid that the dry food made is not very delicious, and with meat and vegetables, I am afraid that it will not be as easy to preserve as pure dry food." ”

"I want dry food that I can preserve, and meat is as much as vegetables." Lu Bu said: "And the taste of dry food must not be single, it must be eaten by the soldiers, and they will feel that the taste is quite delicious." You must know that when the soldiers went out to fight, their lives were very hard. If I get a single dry food, how can I lead them into battle to kill the enemy? ”

"That's what Chu Hou said." Several men hurriedly agreed: "Let's go back and ponder, we will definitely satisfy Chu Hou." ”

"I'm not satisfied." Lu Bu shook his head: "What you have to do is to satisfy every soldier." Only when they are satisfied can I take credit for you. ”

"I don't dare to say the credit, as long as it is ordered by the Marquis of Chu, we will definitely do it with our hearts." Several men agreed in unison.

When they withdrew from Lu Bu's room, several men had embarrassed looks on their faces.

The task given to them by Lu Bu is indeed not too difficult, and it is even very simple for them who cook all year round.

But it's not so easy to satisfy every soldier.

After serving in the army for so many years, they all know that the tastes of the soldiers are different, and no matter what kind of food they make, there will always be people who find it unpalatable.

Of course, there are also people who think that a certain meal they make is delicious......

The food is still like this, not to mention dry food.

Dried food was originally meant to be easy to carry on the road.

While it is easy to carry, I also want to take into account the taste, that is, it is a bit nitpicky......

With such thoughts, the guys didn't dare to say it in front of Lu Bu, so they could only get the order to go back.

The so-called credit, of course, they don't dare to think about it.

What they want to do most is to make dry food that can satisfy Lu Bu, and mix it up first.

Sun Ce sent the men to the door of the study, and waited for them to leave before turning back.

He said to Lu Bu, who was sitting in the study: "Chu Hou, in fact, I also thought about letting the soldiers carry dry food to satisfy their hunger, but if they eat too much dry food, the soldiers' physique will be affected, so I gave up later......"

"Has Bo Fu ever calculated how much grain a soldier has to eat in a day?" Lu Bu didn't ask him how he did it in the first place, but suddenly asked.

Sun Ce replied: "Each soldier eats a bucket of rice every day......

"Do you know how much rice you can cook in a bucket of rice?" Lu Bu smiled slightly and asked Sun Ce, "Why can the soldiers eat so much?" ”

Sun Ce, who didn't understand what he meant at all, looked dazed.

Once as the lord of Jiangdong, he didn't think it was a big deal for a soldier to eat a bucket of rice a day.

Some of them have a very large amount of food, and they can even eat two or three buckets a day......

But the meaning revealed in Lu Bu's words had the meaning of suspecting the soldiers for eating too much.

"If the Marquis of Chu is distressed about food and does not let the soldiers fill their stomachs, they are afraid that they will be unable to fight on the battlefield." Sun Ce said: "I don't think it's better to calculate how much the soldiers can eat in a day......

"Of course, you have to figure out how much they can eat in a day." Lu Bu said: "Food is expensive, and the more we eat, the more weight we have." I have been observing the soldiers, and I have found that when they are only eating rice, the amount of food is very large. If you add some meat and meat, the food consumed will be smaller. ”

Sun Ce seemed to understand what Lu Bu meant, he nodded and said, "What Chu Hou said is right, the soldiers don't have meat in their stomachs, so they eat a lot......

"People, eating is not only to fill the stomach, but also to enjoy." Lu Bu said: "The war meal in the army is the same, if it is too simple, so that the soldiers just regard it as a filling, and do not expect anything when eating, it can only be said that the war meal is too poor." I am planning to completely change the war food in the army, not only the dry food to be made tastes good, but also the soldiers who enter the city and eat the cooked war rice every day, it must also taste delicious. ”
