With the concerted efforts of everyone, twenty ships of goods were quickly unloaded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wang Hao introduced these foods to everyone in the same way.
Wang Lung, on the other hand, took a pencil and a notebook to write down the food in the same way.
It is mainly used to distinguish the method of consumption and storage period of these things.
After these things were recorded, Wang Hao said to Wang Long: "I have already negotiated with the Gollum of the underground world. The ratio of food exchange is twenty to one. In other words, the underworld needs twenty boatloads of food in exchange for one of our boatloads of meat skewers and fruit wine.
For each exchange, the Gollum clan takes precedence, and I may not participate in the future exchange, so you have to calculate the time of the exchange, agree on how many times a day to exchange, and when each exchange will be. When I go down, I'll be able to explain it to the Gollum. Then ask them to prepare the food for exchange in advance every day, and you can just pull the boat up when the time comes. ā
After listening to Wang Hao's words, Wang Lung said that he would arrange this matter, but after thinking about it, he said: "Hao, is the amount of food in the underground world enough?" If we want to wait for the amount of arable land to catch up, we will have to wait at least until next year's summer flood, and if the underground world is short of food, we will have to plan in advance! ā
Hearing Wang Lung's worries, Wang Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't say that we are such a small number of people, even if it is ten times more than the population, the amount of food in the underground world is enough."
My concern is that they don't have enough people and don't need enough wine and meat skewers every day, so the pressure will be much less! ā
As soon as Wang Hao's words fell, Gu Mu also galloped over riding a giant clawed dragon.
In his hands, he held two long knives forged from cast iron and an axe forged from cast iron.
Glancing at the food that was unloaded from the river, Gu Mu happened to hear Wang Hao's words.
He spoke, "Although the Gollums are very short, they have a habit of eating small and eating often. So the food we eat at the end of the day is similar to ours.
The ratio of food exchange is twenty to one, which means that if there is one Gollum in the exchange, then we can get twenty more rations.
And our Hwaseong Fortress itself only has a food shortage of 80,000 people.
In other words, it takes 4,000 Gollum to participate in the food exchange to resolve the food crisis in our Hwaseong. ā
After Gu Mu's analysis, the food crisis problem in Hwaseong was clearly displayed in front of everyone.
The Gollum are a lazy race, and if they don't have the temptation to eat for themselves, they won't help them collect food for free anyway.
Therefore, in order to make a deal with the underworld, it is necessary to attract the Gollums with food.
As for the population of the four thousand Gulu tribe mentioned by Gu Mu, Wang Hao was not too worried.
After all, after receiving the news of the delicious food, just yesterday overnight, thousands of people from the Gollum tribe arrived, and many more were on their way back.
If you want to get together 4,000 people, it will not be easy.
Now, the main problem is to make the Gollum people fall in love with the food of Hwaseong, preferably to the point where they would rather go hungry than eat Hwaseong food.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao instructed Wang Long: "Uncle, I will leave the food matter to you to personally check, you must remember what I said, the food must be fresh and delicious." Also, you can't send skewers every day, so it's best to change the type of food every day. The province has made the Gollum people tired of eating it.
Also, things like banana leaf tobacco have to be transported to the underground world. At first, we could give it away for free, but later, we gradually started to exchange it for food. Anyway, you just have to use all means to keep the Gollum clan, and it's best to let them eat it once and then want to eat it a second time, and after eating it a second time, they want to eat it a third time. ā
Wang Lung also understood the importance of food, and naturally he did not refuse Wang Hao's words, and even he was afraid that he would miss something, so he specially wrote down Wang Hao's words.
After Wang Lung wrote down all the things he had explained, Wang Hao looked at Gu Mu and said, "How was the test?" ā
"This iron rod is much harder than the weapons we forged." Gu Mu said.
As he spoke, he slashed at the iron rod with the long knife he had brought.
This long knife is the work of a blacksmith shop in Hwaseong. Despite the blacksmith's hard work, for some reason, the weapons produced are still very brittle and easy to break. Not to mention being used as a weapon, even if it is used for logging, it is a bit choking.
The final result of the sword produced by the blacksmith is either smelted into agricultural tools or used to mow grass.
Gu Mu slashed down with a knife, only to hear the sound of 'ding', and the long knife broke in response.
On the other hand, on the iron rod, there was not a single scar.
Wang Hao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, although the iron knife forged in Huacheng was easy to break, it was much stronger than a stone.
But when he cut it on this iron rod, he couldn't even cut out the traces. This shows how strong this iron rod is.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao was suddenly pleasantly surprised. This iron rod was made by an unknown master of the underworld for the Gollum clan.
If the Gollum can ask them to help forge iron rods, then they can also ask them to help forge weapons.
Even if you don't move, as long as you learn the technology, there are people in Hwaseong who are willing to learn blacksmithing.
At that time, the weapons of ordinary soldiers in Hwaseong could be built by themselves, and they no longer had to rely on the system to make them ten times a day.
"Patriarch, you try!" Gu Mu handed the remaining iron sword to Wang Haodao.
Wang Hao picked up the iron sword, and after aiming, he slashed at the iron rod.
In the splash of sparks, the iron sword broke in two without accident, and the iron rod was still unscathed.
"Although I can be undamaged in the face of the attack of the iron sword, I don't know how it behaves in the face of a blunt weapon." Gu Mu said.
As he spoke, he handed the iron axe in his hand to Wang Hao.
This iron axe is also a product of Hwaseong Blacksmith's Shop.
Because the axe has no blade, it is no different from a blunt weapon.
Holding the heavy iron axe, Wang Hao looked at the slender iron rod again.
After thinking about it, Wang Hao still chopped it with an axe.
In case the iron rod is broken, it's a big deal to go back and tell the Gollum that they are in danger in the surface world. Now, measuring the hardness of the rod is the main thing.
'Ding'
After a crisp sound, a gap the size of a red date was directly blown away on the iron axe.
On the other hand, there is only a small dent on the iron rod.
After Wang Hao's inspection, the material of this iron rod is more than enough if it is used to build weapons.
