Chapter 30: What you can
As for the grain, you can exchange it with green salt in the early stage, Qingxiang Valley has planted more than 3,000 acres of sweet potatoes, with a yield of 5,000 to 9,000 catties per mu, and when the sweet potatoes are harvested in Qingxiang Valley in November, the sweet potatoes harvested are enough for more than 100,000 people to eat for a year.
This is the absolute advantage of the agrarian civilization over the nomadic civilization, with a very small amount of arable land can be more and more people, the nomads may be able to have some advantages over the agrarian civilization in a certain period of time, but in the end it is definitely the agrarian civilization that wins, and the nomadic civilization finally completely becomes the attachment of the agrarian civilization, which is the law of history, not the transfer of the will of the individual.
The health of Qingxiang City, since Yun Mo found two half-hung doctors, he set up a health department, and now the health department is under the Ministry of Rites, teaching people to love cleanliness and hygiene, which is also one of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites.
Everyone who enters the Fragrance Valley for the first time must soak in lime water once, even Yun Mo is no exception. Of course, we should pay attention to the concentration of lime water, generally 2-3%, and pay attention to protecting your eyes when soaking lime water.
The Han people who have only entered Qingxiang City for more than 2,000 years, how can they be an exception, all go to the lime pond to soak for half an hour, and their hair must also be soaked in lime water.
After washing, you have to check it alone, if you find that someone still has lice on her body, then continue to soak in lime water for half an hour, this has no emotion to talk about, this is a major event related to the life and death of Qingxiang Valley.
The tattered clothes of these Han slaves were boiled in a large iron pot for half an hour, and when the women made the new clothes, they were all given two sets of new clothes.
It took three days to finally clean up the two thousand new people, Yun Mo took the lead in selecting one thousand young people from them, and the rest were divided among the six departments.
The largest number of people from the household department arrived, more than 1,000 people, because they were responsible for farming and land reclamation, and more than 800 people were assigned to the number of people who were assigned to the work department, because they were responsible for wrapping bricks for earthen walls, building weapons and equipment, making steel, making salt, making clothes, and so on.
The other four departments were also divided into dozens or one or two hundred people, and two thousand six hundred and eighty-three people in Qingxiang Valley, all of which were arranged. Eighteen "readers" who could only read the "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic" became Yun Mo's right-hand man.
Although these eighteen "scholars" could not recite poems against each other, they were still able to complete the tasks assigned by Yun Mo on time, after all, there were more than 2,000 people in Qingxiang City now, and it was not too difficult to manage.
Because of the increase in manpower, the steel and gunpowder workshops have also been allocated more manpower, and the large-scale manufacture of firearms has the corresponding basic conditions, after all, there is an inexhaustible supply of miscanthus and sulfur in the Western Regions, as long as there are enough manpower, as many gunpowder as you want.
There is no need to be whimsical about muskets and artillery, the introduction of face or guns and artillery on Baidu Encyclopedia is pitiful, Yun Mo is also half-irrigated in this regard, just by him, it is impossible to build or guns and artillery according to the introduction of Baidu Encyclopedia, which is unrealistic and unscientific.
Without the corresponding talents, let alone the corresponding industrial base, Yun Mo does not plan to be ambitious, and he will do a good job of the weapons and equipment that can be transmitted and used in large quantities at present, thank God.
Qingxiang Valley is now the best weapon not to make knives and guns, but Shenwei crossbows, according to the appearance of Shenwei crossbows, there are no technical difficulties in making large bed crossbows, and there are also pictures of bed crossbows on Baidu Encyclopedia.
The large bed crossbow and the Kamui crossbow are only different in size, the only difference is in the way they are wound, the Kamui crossbow is wound with a hand lever, while the bed crossbow is wound with a wheel.
A bed crossbow, Yun Mo with a few carpenters, only took a few days to make it, this bed crossbow is extremely easy to manufacture, there is no shortage of materials, it is indeed easy to manufacture in large quantities.
The operation of the bed crossbow is even simpler, only three people are needed, the bed crossbow with a thousand catties of elastic power, and after adding two pairs of eccentric wheels, only one person needs to turn the wheel to be wound, and the other person puts five crossbow arrows on the bed crossbow, and the last person aims and shoots.
The power of the thousand-pound elastic bed crossbow can be domineering, a one-meter-five long crossbow arrow, an arrow shaft thicker than a thumb, five salvos, and a thousand meters away can also penetrate a three-inch plank.
In order to make it easier to move, Yun Mo also equipped the bed crossbow with a pair of wheels, and a horse could easily pull the bed crossbow less than three hundred pounds to run around.
After making the sample, Yun Mo didn't care, the carpentry workshop they could make another bed crossbow according to the real thing and drawings, and the carpentry was not a difficult black technology, which was not a problem for the Qingxiang Valley carpentry group.
The earth-shaking thunder is the biggest killing weapon in Yun Mo's hands, although the sky-shaking thunder weighing five catties can be thrown thirty or forty meters away by using a rope, but this is far from enough, whether it is against cavalry or siege, the throwing distance of thirty or forty meters cannot exert much power of the earth-shaking thunder at all. (Discus throwing, 2 kg for men, the farthest throw distance is 75 meters, throwing the discus is also using rotational force, the same as throwing thunder.) )
The vehicle-mounted catapult is a very good choice, Baidu Encyclopedia has very detailed instructions and drawings on it, Yunmo and a few carpenters, a little exploration and research, the vehicle-mounted catapult was made.
The weapons and equipment that can be made of wood are really not difficult for Yun Mo and the carpentry group, the carpentry of the Zhang Ying tribe, they have also made it before.
Yun Mo found an interesting phenomenon in Baidu Encyclopedia in his mobile phone, everything that is related to firearms, the instructions on Baidu Encyclopedia are very few, and many places are still vague, and some weapons and equipment in the era of cold weapons have very detailed descriptions and information, which may be the reason for national policy! (It's not a fallen leaf nonsense, you go to Baidu Encyclopedia to find the formula for gunpowder, you will definitely not find it.) )
The carpentry workshop has now increased to more than one hundred and fifty people, and they can produce six or seven hundred Shenwei crossbows, more than thirty bed crossbows, and more than twenty catapults per month, which is enough for Yun Mo to use.
Another thing that made Yun Mo interested was the manufacture of armor, and Yun Mo also wanted to equip his army with iron armor, but in this place in the Western Regions, iron armor is really not as practical as leather armor.
The climate of this ghost place in the Western Regions is too extreme, when it is hot, it seems to roast people, wearing black iron armor is similar to looking for death under the scorching sun, and wearing iron armor in winter is even more fatal, more than ten degrees below zero, people wearing iron armor only need to stay outside for an hour, and they will be frozen into popsicles.
The reason why all the horse thieves in the Western Regions wear leather armor is not that they have not grabbed the iron armor, but the experience they have summed up after countless lessons.
There is no shortage of animal fur in this place in the Western Regions, and there are many materials for making leather armor and it is also cheap, in this case, Yun Mo will of course choose leather armor.
It is good to have manpower, some women of the original Zhang Ying tribe are masters of making leather armor, select these people who can make leather armor, and then give them enough manpower and materials, and the leather armor of the original Tang Anxi Army style will be produced in a steady stream.
Labor is the ladder to success.
All the people are working, no one can be an exception, Qingxiang Valley does not support lazy people, and of course the leader of Yun Mo is the same, he trains with the same sweat and rain as the thousand soldiers every day.
Don't you see, has Yun Mo now changed from a white-faced scholar to a black man? The belly that used to be a little fat is gone, replaced by six-pack abs.
It can be said that every Han person in Qingxiang Valley is a person who has suffered from all kinds of hardships, so they are very grateful to the leader of Yunmo who can let them eat enough, and this gratitude gradually becomes prestige.
Because Yun Mo has prestige, the policies and orders he makes will be implemented, and what Yun Mo says, others will believe, which is crucial for future development.
