Secret granary, either, is not a secret. It's just that there are no towns and villages around this wasteland, the land is barren and uncultivateable, and the soil is very hard. There are also rumors that there are many poisonous snakes around, so it will be inaccessible.

No one knows, and naturally it becomes a secret.

The height of the wall is the same as the wall of the Autumn Spirit Temple just now. The entire wall is almost as long as the long street of Yanju City. Looking at this width, it may be worth half a city. The walls are made of mud. It is also because of the hardness of the surrounding soil, and the wall is hard and compact.

However, although the walls are high, they are only walls and do not have a roof.

I looked at the huge wall and exclaimed, "It's so big! Is it really full of grain in such a big place? But can grain be stored in the open like this? ”

Xia Zhu smiled happier than me: "You will know when you go in!" ”

We followed Leishi to the main entrance.

There were a few secret guards guarding the door. They were dressed in armor and armed with weapons, and I could tell who they were by the way they were dressed.

Lei Shi: "This is Her Majesty the Empress. ”

The guards bow down to me and bow to me.

"No, no, no, I'm not." I waved my hand.

Lei Shi: "The dark guard only recognizes tokens. ”

I didn't want to trespass, but the guards only took it to death, and no matter how I explained it, they ignored it. Moreover, they are more like those in the palace and will not answer my words most of the time.

I gave up the explanation and followed Lei Shi into the granary.

I thought that this warehouse would be stockpiling bags of rice, just like the warehouse of a rice merchant. But when I walked in, I saw nearly 100 round-bottomed spires. They are staggered and orderly all the way to the end.

I followed Xia Zhu and Lei Shi to a place that was not covered by a roof, and saw several deep pits on the ground.

Each pit is about three stories deep and wide enough for six or seven people to open their arms. It's so big that it can almost accommodate a separate loft.

A leveled earthen slab was built at the edge of the pit, and it turned back and extended down until it reached the bottom. Because of the open air, the light is very good, and a few people are busy on the bottom floor, wiping and cleaning.

It turned out that those round-bottomed spire canopies were just covers, and there were grain cellars underneath!

Wait a minute......

I was surprised: "How deep and big is every grain cellar?" ”

Xia Zhu: "This one is quite small, the ones in the middle are a lot bigger than this." ”

She wanted to go down to the grain cellar, but I stopped her: "It's not convenient for the old lady to go down." I'll go down on my own. ”

Xia Zhu: "Okay, you can see for yourself." ”

I walked down the dirt steps down the open grain cellar, but I heard footsteps behind me, and when I looked back, it was Lei Shi who followed. He is silent and has few expressions, like an emotionless wood.

"It's really big."

When you walk into the bottom of the grain cellar, you can feel the faint echo on all sides when you say a word.

I calculated the capacity of the grain cellars, and the thought of the nearly 100 grain cellars here was immediately excited.

He asked, "But with so much grain, do you pour it directly into it?" After digging up, how to transport it? ”

Lei Shi: "Take two layers of straw mats, sandwich the chaff in the middle, and cover the grain." When needed, it is packed into a sack and placed downstream with a grain delivery vehicle. ”

His two short sentences led to something I didn't know.

"Grain delivery vehicles? Downstream? ”

"It's above the Nanqu River."

I see!

I followed Lei Shi to the back of the granary, and I was surprised to find that the granary was on the cliff. The granary is high, the underground soil is dry, and because it is located in the sunny land, it rarely rains. This is a powerful condition for grain storage.
