Section 68 Consolidation
Three days can actually go by very quickly, especially when people are busy.
Lao Luo is busy sorting out the harvest in the space, please have the function of spiritual power, it is very convenient to organize the space that he carries, there is no gravity and no time in the space, so sorting out these things is a bit like playing with a Rubik's Cube, but there are more blocks that need to be adjusted.
But because the space is too large - a few cubic kilometers, this number is not as small as it is depicted in ordinary novels, and there are too many clutters - all the things that Lao Luo thinks are useful, the concept is too broad, so the work is actually not a very easy task.
Because of the constant sense of crisis, he began to collect useful things like a hamster from East Africa.
Well, anyone who has ever been a mercenary has a little bit of awareness of this.
For example, the most important food, until now there are at least a few tons of rhinoceros beef, more than a dozen tons of wildebeest meat, more than 100 tons of various beast meat, and the same number of breadfruit and sausage fruit measured in tons, these numbers sound not small, in fact, there are not much, a rhinoceros weighs at least a ton, and a few tons of rhinoceros are only seven or eight in the sky, wildebeest is a social animal, and hunting them is also a simple matter for Lao Luo, The other beasts were also not a big deal for Lao Luo, who was much stronger than the barbarians.
Then in Helen, Athens, Constantinople, Smyrna, Ankara, Erzurum...... Until Herat, he never forgot to collect all kinds of things that could be eaten at any time, without him, since the time and age of this time and space were determined, food was recognized by him as the most precious thing in this era, what gold and precious stones and the like can be exchanged for what they need at will in the afterlife, but in this era? Don't even think about it.
It took most of the day for Lao Luo to finish sorting out the food in his space. That's right, it's the word food, that is, all the meat, wheat flour, rice, beans, grains, cassava...... All these things take up at least a few million cubic meters, how big is that number?
One million cubic meters is a square with a side length of 100, which is equivalent to a standard 30-story building covering an area of 10,000 square meters in later generations, if each floor is three meters high.
That is to say, Lao Luo has accumulated a few high-rise buildings in less than two years, and these things are conservative enough for the people around him to eat for a few years, of course, provided that the population does not increase too quickly.
In addition to food, Lao Luo stored the largest amount of gold, silver and gemstones, these things may be able to buy a small country with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers in later generations, but in this era, too much gold and silver treasures and stones are no different, because of the difference in purchasing power, many things, especially food, in many places food is not enough to eat by yourself, you can't buy it.
In addition, Lao Luo paid the most attention to "books", let's call them books, he collected some papyrus and parchment paper rolls in Kai Helen, and collected the most such things in the library of Constantinople, except for books made of parchment, many of the things used to record words were not paper media.
You must know that Constantine is the capital of Byzantium or the Eastern Roman Empire, it inherited the civilization of ancient Greece, ancient Rome and even the Macedonian Empire BC.
There is one thing that must be known, Alexander the Great's teacher was Aristotle, and the disciple of Plato gave Alexander the Great a perspective of the world, so that the Macedonians no longer limited their eyes to the Mediterranean, so there is a famous saying of Alexander - regard the world as their homeland. So the Macedonian king Alexander the Great reaped more than just gold and silver treasures, he brought back the most people and knowledge from all his conquests.
Some of this knowledge is recorded on stone tablets, some on clay tablets, and some on metal vessels...... It was then preserved in the library of Constantinople in the transmission from generation to generation.
So what Lao Luo collected was not just "books", but the essence of the entire Western civilization. This is the most insidious thing that Lao Luo did, you must know that at this time, the entire knowledge inheritance of Europa was in Constantinople, and the church in Rome was not the main carrier of knowledge inheritance, like the royal family in the East, many books were not qualified to be read by anyone, and copying was not allowed, that is to say, many materials were completely unique.
There is only one consequence, a disconnect or lack of knowledge.
Of course, this matter will not be effective in a short time, and Lao Luo has never heard about Constantinople again, and so far, this is only his secret.
Sorting out these things took Lao Luo's greatest experience, and although he only knew some words on the parchment book, and he couldn't read all the rest, it didn't prevent him from knowing the value of these things. Sometimes Lao Luo thinks that among these things that only occupy hundreds of thousands of cubic meters in total, if he takes out one of them and sends it to future generations, I am afraid that he will be surrounded by ancient anthropologists and historians, or the kind with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Well, that's a bit too much. Food, treasure, books, wood, furs, seeds, ores, weapons, tools...... Fragments and other things, oh, as well as the most critical items left by Jingyuan Daoren and some bits and pieces he brought from the afterlife, all of them were sorted out, and Lao Luo's space was finally a lot more organized, and more importantly, he found that in comparison, his space seemed to have expanded a little, although he could not determine the specific size, but it did increase compared to the last detailed exploration.
It's just that he can't figure out this kind of thing himself, and later generations have heard of this kind of introduction to film and television books, and he also knows that there are unknown research projects in the USA or CHN and other countries, but after all, it is not the scope of his access.
After finishing up, he had a whim in his spare time, after returning to the East, maybe he could visit the Taoist priests of this era, maybe he could find something that had been completely broken in later generations, and of course, he also hoped that the monks and Taoists of this era were not the kind of merchants who sold dog meat on the head of a sheep in later generations.
After being busy with this matter, it is time to sort out after this battle. Lao Luo roughly summarized the gains and losses of the last few battles, and in general, the ratio between gains and battle losses was at least a thousand times.
In the two battles before and after, not to mention the materials collected, the number of war horses was enough to about 12,000, but fortunately, the grass was still lush at this time, and the forage captured was also abundant, so there was no need to worry about the food of the horses for the time being.
There were no casualties in the night battle in Herat, and of course minor and serious injuries were always inevitable. Seven or eight were seriously wounded, and more than 100 were lightly wounded. Oh, chest and abdomen injuries and tendon injuries are considered serious injuries, losing a finger or something like that is considered a minor injury, and a fall and scratching a little skin or something like that no one takes seriously.
The fighters who had been wounded on the west side of the tributary of the Hari River had recovered considerably, and several of the guys who had lost arms and legs had regained their morale and could even walk slowly on crutches. The slippery boy was almost fine with the lightly injured Cui Eighteen, this kid was kicked back to the main camp by Lao Luo because he was idle and had nothing to do.
In fact, when Lao Luo was busy, the others were not idle, and the officers above the rank of Qu Chang all received an order, everyone had to summarize the situation in this battle, it didn't matter if they couldn't write, they could find someone to write for them, but when they returned to the main camp to inquire in person, if they couldn't answer, they would be punished with thirty lashes.
The rest of the chiefs and commanders cooperated with Yan Songming, Guan Hexi, Tian Bao and a few people with a little prestige rescued by Herat, and mixed all the rescued people into groups. Well, it basically follows the division of the family camp, every 100 people are a group, 1000 people are a team, the leader of the 100 people is called Tunchang, and the leader of the 1,000 team is directly called Qianchang, there are more than 2,900 men who happened to be rescued from Herat, Yan, Guan, and Tian No one is a Qianchang, and there are more than 600 women, and a woman named Wang Xiaoyu who has been a maid housekeeper was selected as the leader. By the way, this Wang Xiaoyu is not small at all, a typical female man. Of course, there are less than 200 children, and ten older women are assigned to manage them in a unified manner, and the rules are ready-made, and it is enough to follow the conventions of the children's camp.
Of course, in order to distinguish them from the family camp and the like, these people were all from Herat, and the north side of the Hari River was the Hari River, so the less than 4,000 people were collectively called the Hari camp.
Two days later, the men of Camp Harry began to adjust to the situation of the whole group, and although they could not do it quickly, they at least understood the military orders and knew when to do something. They are different from those descendants of the soldiers in the Tang battalion, the composition is very complex, and most of them are civilians.
So when Lao Luo finished his own affairs and came to check the situation of Camp Harry, he saw a procrastinating team similar to the college students who had just participated in military training in later generations.
"General, these guys are too scattered, they look like fleeing victims, far worse than those in the Tang camp." Olki frowned and sighed beside Lao Luo.
Lao Luo also had almost the same expression, but he understood that these people could not be compared with the people in the Tang camp, and the really fierce and virtuous people had long been buried in the ground, and the people in front of him were just some people who were bent over by fate, even if he brought someone to save them, it is estimated that these people still have the resistance to messing around, "Forget it, this matter is in a hurry, everything will be better when you return to the main camp." ”
It's not that he can't harden his heart, it's just that he saw the miserable appearance of them just being rescued a few days ago, and he can only guide these people with a more moderate method.
"General, the scout sent by Captain Min over there in the main camp wants to return, and asks us if we will go back to the north according to the plan."
"Hmm...... Go as planned. There is infighting in the city of Herat, and the six camps are greatly damaged, and there is no strength here that can contain us. Tell Alk to withdraw all the men from Herat, and then scatter them on the way back to the north, and tell everyone to pack their bags tomorrow and set off early the next morning to return to the main camp! ”
"Lord, these people ......"
"Don't worry about them, let them adapt on the road, anyway, our war horses are enough, it's good to experience them!"
