Chapter Eighty-Three: The Army Collects Honey
Servant?
Renault fell into deep thought, the three of them with the Tiger family before, it was actually Renault who took the initiative. As soon as I arrived in the world of Da Chu, my eyes were black, and I felt Huya's kindness, so I immediately got his approval, thinking that there would be a place to live in Hu's house.
After the ninth princess took the initiative to be his maid, Renault felt that hugging Chu Huang's thigh was a must. After all, in Da Chu, the Chu Emperor is the big boss, and it is not wrong to hug his thighs, so Renault agreed.
After that, it's Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang is the person he wants the most, cute little Lori with a bloody face, on earth, as long as it's a man, it doesn't matter if you're a little brother or an uncle, even the old man, there is a Lori plot, so Renault did it back to something that wasn't a thing.
The last is Gong Churui, I have to say, Renault is a man who looks at his face, a cold and arrogant beauty is in trouble, is it still a person if he doesn't save it?
But Li Si is an old man, he is not a grandmaster, he has now figured it out, as long as he is a secret master, it is useless. It's not that Renault doesn't like Wu Xiu, in fact, he likes it very much, very much.
But the Grandmaster is someone else's cultivation, not his Renault's. In another world, other people's things are unreliable, not to mention a Li Si he is not familiar with, even if he changes to Huya, he can't be completely at ease. So he takes the life-saving pill every day, and he has nothing to do to gnaw red ginseng, doesn't he want to become a grandmaster himself, preferably an earth immortal.
But the data reported by the God of Wealth really made him feel cold. The quality of the red ginseng he gnawed was better than that of the tiger tooth, and the quantity was more than that of the tiger tooth, but the growth rate was really bad.
Is a servant necessary? Obviously not, even if he wants a servant, Renault thinks that Cui Qing is much more suitable than him, at least Cui Qing can do the work, help him with inventions or something, flush toilets, bathers, soap, toothpaste, a lot of things, all pointing to Cui Qing and the Ninth Princess.
Renault has always felt that he is only suitable for guiding in the right direction, and the details are not what he is good at, even if he has the scanning and analysis skills of the God of Wealth, he is not so patient, such a servant should be developed more, an old man like Li Si, whether he is the same or not.
Someone behind him pulled the back again, you don't have to look to know that the only one who dares to do this is Moxiang. Forget it, just take it, he doesn't look down on Li Si, he really loves Mo Xiang, it has nothing to do with desire, it's purely eye-catching. What's more, this little Lori is still very well-behaved, and the arrogant Renault doesn't like it.
"Okay, you'll have to look at the door or something. Renaud said casually, he doesn't even have a home, where is the door for people to see, isn't it just to raise an old man, and he doesn't have a lot of money, so he treats it as a good deed.
Sure enough, when Li Si heard Renault's words, he had a toothache and was reluctant. How can I say that I am also a grandmaster, but I am actually disliked.
With Grandmaster Lisi's senses, he naturally knew that Mo Xiang had been tugging at the back of Renault's shirt, but I was afraid that this was the reason why Renault nodded.
For a while, sorrow started from the heart, and it was really hard to live in this life. I don't mention the previous things, but now that I have broken the seal and become a sect, I am still living so hard, where can I be reasonable?
"Sir, the last general, Hua Zizhang, is ordered to come. He commanded 1,500 men, 5,000 horses, and all kinds of supplies. Outside the entrance, 500 military horses were left to guard and wait for follow-up reinforcements. Hua Zizhang said with a military salute.
"Well, that's good. Renault nodded, the soldiers here had an appetite for him.
Then, he thoughtfully said to himself, "Do you take honey first, or catch the dragon foal first?"
Another question worth thinking about, this plain is quite rich in resources. In Renault's opinion, there are three most valuable, two hundred miles away, countless beehives on the rock wall, three hundred miles away two-horned dragon foals, and four other golden ginseng plants.
For the rest of the golden ginseng, he is going to take people to pick it himself, and the other two will need to be worked by the army.
"Naturally, it's a two-horned dragon foal. Luo Yi and Li Yan said at the same time, their eyes lit up, it was a two-horned dragon foal, there were hundreds of millions of people in Da Chu, and there were no more than a hundred two-horned dragon foals.
The two-horned dragon foal is the easiest to catch and the easiest to tame among the four horses, but that doesn't mean it's really easy to catch and tame. The most excessive thing is that after the bicorned dragon foal surrendered, the fertility decreased greatly, it seems that this creature is very arrogant, after being tamed, the male does not look down on the female, and the female does not look down on the horse, and they all think that the other party should not submit to humans.
Don't look at Da Chu, there are hundreds of dragon foals, due to fertility problems, it is one less dead horse.
"Honey. Mo Xiang said softly, she knew that she didn't have the right to speak at this time, but she couldn't help it, there was only one honeycomb when she picked honey before, which seemed to be a lot, but there were many people around Renaud, thousands of people shared the food, and it would be good to get a small spoonful.
The husband has taken good care of her, and the amount he gave her is more than ten times that of others, but the little girl is greedy, no matter how much she saves food, she can't even resist it for three days. The thought of the aroma of honey makes my saliva water.
When Renault heard this, he nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees to pick honey first, then let's do it." General Hua, order your men to rest and set off early tomorrow morning. Don't be idle tonight, I want to bring the linen cloth, let people prepare. ”
Luo Yi and Li Yan, including Hua Zizhang who just came, all looked confused, what does it mean that everyone agrees to collect bees, only the little girl behind you, Mr. thinks so.
Jealous, Luo Yi is jealous, he protects Mr. and is busy for Mr., but he is not as good as a little girl and whispers softly.
Impatient!
Forget it, don't think about it too much, look at Mr. this frame, Honey and Dragon Horse are not ready to let go, so it's the best.
A large amount of supplies were unloaded from the horses, collected in different categories, fodder was prepared for the horses, and finally the soldiers were served.
The large bundles of linen cloth were taken out of the barrels and distributed to the soldiers, who, at the request of the master, began to sew linen covers for use in the honey harvesting.
The barrel was an order sent back by Renault and was used to hold honey. As for the hemp cover, it is simple, the top of the head is a hat, and a bamboo stand stretches out around the hat, and the linen cloth is sewn on the support, all the way to the feet, and the seal is under the feet, like a huge noodle bag.
The southwest region is too poor, there is almost no yarn in the army, and it can only be replaced by hemp, but fortunately, the quality of hemp in the army is also very poor, and there are many gaps in linen, through which the other side can be seen.
The number of wild bees faced this time is very staggering, and so is the number of hives, which is not a job that a few people can do, and Reynolds' order is to have at least five hundred pairs of linen coats.
"How much do I want, how much have you prepared?" asked Renault when he called Zigui and Zhu Bo.
"Mr. is in a hurry, the quantity is limited, and the soldiers are picking with all their might, but there are only less than 2,000 catties. Zhu Bo replied, Zigui is still recuperating in the past few days, he has been treated by Li Si before, he has not slept for several days and nights, his body has suffered a big loss, and he is still using wild ginseng to replenish his body.
"It's not enough, it's far from enough, the medicinal materials you want, there are also here, I will order someone to continue picking, ask a few doctors to work hard, at least 10,000 catties of insect repellent powder." Renaud said, the wild bees in the Da Chu world are fierce enough, even if he has seen the animal world, he has never seen so many beehives gathered together, that sea of flowers, is there enough for them to pick?
"Yes. ”
The new soldiers rested, and the previous 3,000 people were not idle, so give an order, and Li Yan assigned tasks, collecting medicines, and making linen and clothing, each with its own responsibilities. It's also interesting to watch thousands of old men holding needles.
The next morning, the army marched towards the hive, but because there were too many supplies and no carts, the march was not fast, and it only traveled about a hundred miles a day.
When the sea of flowers appeared in front of him, Renault ordered to set up camp, today is not in time to get there, before the honey collection, there are still many preparations, 6.97 billion bees have seen? If there is no scan statistics from the God of Wealth, Renault will only use countless words to describe it, and there is really no way to calculate.
Renault didn't have to worry about the destruction, and continued to move forward a hundred miles, and on that rock wall, there were more than 127,000 beehives, which were discharged hundreds of miles away. The large hive weighs more than 600 catties, and the small hive also weighs more than 200 catties.
Don't look at the more than 5,000 people around Renault, even if it is doubled, it will not be able to move so much honey.
Tell Luo Yi, Li Yan and other generals about his plan, and he won't care about the rest of the matter, Renault thinks that letting him command will only mess things up, and it is better to leave it to others.
I heard that what they were going to face was more than 100,000 beehives, and several generals were dumbfounded at the time, they thought that it was Mr. who liked to eat honey, so it would be better to pick a few, who would have thought that there were so many.
Honey is a good thing, and it is worth a lot when it is shipped back to Dachu. It's just that there were too few opportunities to pick honey in the past, and the quantity was extremely limited, so I ate it by myself, and the occasional flow into the border market was naturally not much.
Coupled with the wild bees, the number of them in the southwest is not large, and the southern Xinjiang is the place where honey is produced. However, Luo Yi knows that the quality of honey in southern Xinjiang is much worse than that in southwest.
Scarce means valuable. The largest industry in the southwest is minerals, but the smelting technology is not good, and the refined metals are directly used to build repair weapons, and the ordnance of the desert legion is not cared for by the military department. Only the three precious metals of gold, silver, and copper can be transported back to Shengjing in exchange for money and materials.
In addition, there are only large-leaf tea, horses, cattle and sheep, and some other rare specialties, and the desert army is supported by these.
More than 100,000 beehives, even if a pound of honey can only be sold for one silver coin, Li Yan can't count how much he can earn, after all, a beehive has a weight of hundreds of catties, at least worth dozens of gold coins.
What Li Yan saw was not a beehive, but millions of gold coins. The gold coins are still quite strong in Dachu, which is almost worth the tax revenue in the first half of the year.
And Da Chu's taxes, if the profits are shared, how much can a legion get. Ministers must have annual dedication, control water and build roads, and provide disaster relief and grain......
Look at Renault again, Li Yan's eyes lit up, there is a gentleman, the General's Mansion in Dingjun City is developed, and he will never live a hard life in the future. He never thought that if there were too many things, they would be worthless.
