Chapter 187: The Origin of the Pancreas (1st Update)

Liu Quan said while fetching water: "The small one is not in charge of the military aircraft, the specific situation is not clear, Wang joined the army, I heard that you are also in charge of logistics in the army, you should know that we people are only in charge of fighting, and the money, food, and salary battalions are all in charge of the chief general and the quartermaster." By the way, how did you come up with the idea of asking this? ”

Wang Huaqiang secretly thought in his heart, if he could make the enemy army besieging the city willing to surrender, it would naturally be the best, if it really didn't work, he would have to lure them to attack the city, and then he would have to inadvertently show weakness to him, since Gu Ziyuan besieged the city for three months, besieged but not attacked, he must also expect the city to be cut off from food and water, and chaos without a fight, which can be used.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang took off his clothes and pants, poured water on himself in the yard, and by the way, he took a piece of pancreas and wiped it on his body, he was lucky today, it seems that this bath water, wooden bucket and pancreas were all prepared early, especially now this pancreas that can bubble on his body.

At this time in the Sui Dynasty, there was no developed chemical industry in later generations, and brushing teeth in the morning basically relied on loofah pulp and soybean flour, and bathing was mainly done with soybean flour pieces.

In the past, the Qin and Han dynasties bathed only with water, I don't know which genius of the Wei and Jin dynasties came up with the idea of removing the dirty blood from the pig's pancreas, after removing the fat, adding soybean flour and spices, after mixing and drying, it became a bath bean that can be used for washing, not only to wash clothes, but also to bathe.

Due to the fact that animal husbandry was not yet developed at this time, eating meat was a luxury, and it was impossible for so many pig pancreas to be used to make pancreas.

So people began to think of other ways to grind the pig's pancreas into powder. Add the lard and heat it, then follow the bean flour and plant ash. Spices are also mixed and poured into iron molds. After cooling, a lumpy pancreas is formed, because the pig pancreas can decompose a large number of digestive enzymes, decompose the lard into higher fatty acids, and can chemically react with soybean flour and plant ash, and finally form acid fertilizer soap that can be foamed.

At that time, the Wang family was not very rich and could not afford to buy a lot of pancreas, and the only one or two pancreas were used by the father and son in turn, and they could only take one turn in ten days. Later, the family gradually had money, and there were more pancreas, at least it was not a problem for the father and son to have one piece each.

A while ago, during the Turkic trip, Wang Huaqiang became a nouveau riche, and the servants in the family also used pancreas.

However, in this city of Suzhou that is at war, pancreas must also be a rare thing, and probably only Huangfuji himself can use it. Liu Quan definitely has no part at this level, needless to say, this pancreas was also arranged by Huangfu Ji, and probably his own stench yesterday also made him frown. So let yourself wash well before your trip today.

Wang Huaqiang thought of this, and sighed a little that he didn't learn chemistry before the crossing, and he only knew why this thing was called soap after the crossing. Why did I call it pancreas before, I knew that if I figured out those laundry detergents in the later life. The ingredients of shampoo or something, mass-produced in this era. It was already sent a long time ago, how can you put your head on the belt of your pants like this, and earn these severed money from birth to death.

Thinking about it, Wang Huaqiang finished taking a bath, the well water was clear, but it was a hot summer, and he could sweat when he stood up.

Wang Huaqiang put on a silk dress, was led by Liu Quan to see Huangfu Ji, today's Huangfu Ji sat in the lobby, there were more than ten books under the big case, and the military officials were writing books one by one, recording the daily affairs of the money and food consumption in Suzhou City, and the soldiers were more valuable.

Huang Fu Ji is looking at a few military reports on the handsome case, his brows are deeply locked, the candlestick on the handsome case, a few candles that were just on yesterday have been completely burned out, it seems that after he left yesterday, Huang Fuji did not close his eyes overnight, and it is the main general who takes the lead in working hard to be able to work together, and the soldiers use their lives to support until now.

Wang Huaqiang walked to the front of the case, Huang Fuji smiled, put down the military report in hand, and said to Wang Huaqiang: "My brother is really refreshed and extraordinary today, and he will definitely be able to succeed and attract thieves to surrender." ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "General Huangfu, I thought all the way just now, maybe my thoughts were a little hasty before, just like this, I may not be able to make the enemy surrender, I'm afraid we have to find another way." ”

Huangfu Ji was slightly stunned: "Oh, Wang joins the army, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said in a low voice: "I thought about it when I was taking a bath just now, the rebels are mostly composed of rebels from all walks of life in four states and counties, Gu Ziyuan may not be able to achieve the unity of military orders, some people may be willing to surrender to our army, but some people are only afraid that they would rather go to the high wisdom, Yang Dashuai wants to destroy the rebels, and he needs as many heads as possible to make military merits, but I am afraid that what he wants is to be completely annihilated, and if the enemy pulls away some people, maybe Gu Ziyuan will only be forced to withdraw from the siege and join Gao Zhizhi." ”

Huangfu Ji's face sank like water, and nodded: "Then what good way do you have now?" ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced at the scribes in the hall and said, "General Huangfu, let's talk while walking." ”

Huangfu comprehended, walked down the handsome case, went out side by side with Wang Huaqiang, and said to the guards behind him: "I have something to discuss with Wang in the army, don't get too close." The two of them walked towards the backyard, and several guards followed from a distance of a dozen paces.

Wang Huaqiang said in a low voice: "According to what the last general can see, it is best for us to surrender to the enemy first!"

Huang Fuji stopped suddenly, and his brows furrowed: "Fraudulent surrender? We have been defending for three months, and we have not seen any fatigue in the city, so even if we want to surrender at this time, how can the enemy believe it? ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Are there family members of the rebels in this Suzhou city?" ”

Huang Fuji nodded: "There are more than 1,000 families who have joined the rebels, and at the beginning of the siege, I was afraid that these people would take the opportunity to make trouble and cooperate with the enemy army outside the city, so I put them under centralized care." ”

Wang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked: "So, these people don't know the food and drinking water situation in the city?" ”

Huang Fuji somewhat understood what Wang Huaqiang meant, and laughed: "Of course, these people are all family members of the anti-thieves, so naturally they won't give them any good looks, two cakes per person every day, and drinking well water, which is already good for them." As for the food supply in the city, after the siege of the city, all the food of the people's families was centralized, and it was rationed according to the capitation.

The soldiers defending the city and the people patrolling the upper city head had one liter of rice a day, the common people had eight times a day for men, seven times a day for women and the elderly, and five times for children. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded, a liter of rice is almost a catty and two taels, life is difficult during the siege, the people defending the city fill their stomachs, and ordinary people can eat seven or eight points full, and they will not make trouble.

Huang Fuji continued: "Now there are 5,000 soldiers and 60,000 or 70,000 people in Suzhou City, and according to this standard, they need to consume almost 500 stone of grain every day. The granaries in the city had accumulated 150,000 stone of rice before the siege, enough to feed for 300 days, and there were hundreds of wells in the city, so the food supply was more than enough and there would be no problems. Wang joins the army, you want to deceive the rebels that there is not enough food in the city, and you can't hold on, but I'm afraid that you will have to spend a little more money. ”

Wang Huaqiang thought for a while and said: "Arrange a play tonight, find an empty warehouse near the warehouse in the city, set a fire, burn it bigger, so that the families of those rebels can see it, and then open the city gate early tomorrow morning, let the women and old people in these people go out of the city, and give them some bean cakes mixed with bran skin at breakfast, so that they think that there is a shortage of food in the city, so that the rebels will definitely believe it and stay more time in the city."

Then I went out with these people, and talked to them about letting the rebels send some food into the city, and we let the women and children in the city go out of the city. I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be them who will negotiate with us about surrendering, General Huangfu, do you think this plan is feasible? (To be continued......)
