63. Sorghum
Hui also left, and Zhang Qi sat alone in the yurt, thinking about whether he should return to the riding world and bring out a batch of supplies.
It is not enough to raise soldiers by meat, but also enough carbohydrates, and he still has more than 5 million dinars in his hand now, which is more than 50,000 catties when converted into a carry.
Of course, these 50,000 are not enough to feed everyone in the camp for a few days, but if it is only used to feed an army of 1,000 people, combined with meat, it will be enough to eat for a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qi took out a piece of cloth and began to write.
Judging from the observation of the past half month, the average daily food of these people is about one and a half catties, of course, this is still under the condition of Zhang Qi's generosity, they have so much to eat, otherwise if they are replaced by other troops, the daily food consumption will be more than one catty.
"In the past, many things were simple and easy to come to 'Grass Valley', but now that I have free time, if the nutrition is good, the consumption of food should be reduced."
Zhang Qi held the charcoal pen and wrote on the cloth: "Half a catty of meat, four taels of grain, two eggs, and a cup of fresh milk of about 300 milliliters in the morning and evening is about the same." ”
Writing and writing, Zhang Qi thought about it and added a paragraph: "Before the army is formed, the Huotou Army must be established first, and it should be better to have a special partner than to let those people do it themselves." ”
The army that Zhang Qi intends to form is already considered a completely demobilized soldier in every sense, and it is unceremonious to say that their food and clothing will be taken care of by Zhang Qi alone in the future.
And now the most important thing is to raise the bones of these former slaves and low-level herdsmen, and he cannot be stingy with food.
High oil and high salt are the premises.
All kinds of stir-fried vegetables and stews frequently appeared in Zhang Qi's mind for a while.
"And sugar!"
Zhang Qi thought of a big killer, needless to say about the role of sugar, this thing is definitely very useful for nourishing the body, but now the question is where does the sugar come from?
Thoughts were flying, and Zhang Qi's eyes couldn't help but look into the world of riding and chopping.
Now he can think of two things that can produce sugar, one is wheat, maltose is also sugar, but the production process is a bit cumbersome, and the other is sorghum that was originally traded from various tribes.
"Yes, sorghum stalks!"
Zhang Qi instantly thought of sorghum, when he was a child, he had never gnawed sorghum stalks, and the sweet taste was a little worse than that of sugarcane.
"But the sorghum stalks can't get sugar, and they can only make syrup when the sky is over, but that's enough."
Zhang Qi recorded on the cloth that people who have lived in the countryside are generally no strangers to boiling sugar, even if they really can't, then they can try a few more times, boiling sugar and boiling sugar, boiling is the key.
After Zhang Qi wrote everything he wanted to do, he took the cloth and a bag of sorghum rice into the world of riding and chopping.
He hadn't tried to grow crops from the outside world before, and he didn't know if he could make it.
Return to the camp near Chaikan.
The current Riding and Cutting World Camp has also changed, and Zhang Qi built a log city here by the river, which was originally planned as a lumber yard.
It's not big, about two acres of area, and it's surrounded by logs.
Moved out because as Zhang Qi wanted to do more and more things, the space in Chaikan City became smaller, and he didn't want to be warned by the guards if he was messing around, so he simply moved out.
Of course, Suojiaer and some NPC soldiers are still in Chaikan City, and the iron is still being thrown, and Zhang Qi, the cash machine in the arena, has not been put down.
Inside the wall, there is a fur felt house, and the camp is very empty, but there are all kinds of exercise equipment, including iron locks for hard work, stone hammers, plum blossom piles for training attention, and many exercise equipment that Zhang Qi has seen from various videos.
What works and what doesn't work is not clear to him now, but it doesn't matter, it's a bit of a time to try in the world of riding and chopping.
Outside the camp, there is a fenced off area with chickens, ducks and geese that Zhang Qi has brought from various villages, and others that are his experimental nurseries.
As for why it is fenced, it is naturally to stop some blind robbers and robbers.
"Wolf King!"
Seeing Zhang Qi suddenly appear, the wolf cubs were already surprised, and after saying hello, they continued to do their own things.
There are also a lot of camps in the world of riding and chopping, in addition to training these wolf cubs, they are also responsible for taking care of crops, making bows and arrows, and arrows.
In addition to these, Zhang Qi even built a blacksmith shop in the camp of the riding and slashing world, which was used to create some things that could not be made in the system blacksmith shop.
It's just that he has been riding the world for more than a year, and Zhang Qi has only figured out how to melt iron technology, and he is still exploring forging.
"Hu Jiu!"
Inside the camp, Zhang Qi shouted.
"Here!"
After a while, a crisp female voice sounded in a group of wolf cubs in training.
A girl with a little freckles on her face ran over, and then stood upright in front of Zhang Qi.
"Wolf King!"
Zhang Qi threw the bag of sorghum on his shoulder in front of Hu Jiu.
"You find a place to reclaim a piece of farmland and plant it."
Hu Jiu had suffered a wrist injury before, and Zhang Qi personally treated her, so she had some impressions that when he needed to plant something, Hu Jiu was in charge later.
"Yes!"
Hu Jiumali gave a military salute, and then ran out of the camp with the bag of sorghum on his shoulders.
This area has always been a place where Zhang Qi cut timber, so there is a lot of open space around, and the nurseries that were previously reclaimed in Chaikan have now moved here.
So for the cultivation of farmland, do not go far.
Zhang Qi watched Hu Jiu leave, beckoned, and a dozen or so Kusette heavy riders guarding the log walled city nearby followed Zhang Qi.
It took less than ten minutes to arrive at Chaikan from the log walled city, and after entering the city, Zhang Qi began to sweep the goods at the merchant's place.
A bag of grain is fifty catties, and he bought two hundred bags at one time, and directly swept away the grain in the chaikan.
Two hundred bags of grain weigh 10,000 catties, and if they are taken out for military training, they can last for a month.
After buying the grains, Zhang Qi put them together, and then went to the blacksmith shop to make the materials that Sojiaer had smelted during this time.
After having Jieying Hutchin, Zhang Qi never left the surrounding area of Chaikan, and he handed over all the work of running merchants to Khachin.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, just after Zhang Qi finished building a batch of two-handed swords, Ha Qin's figure appeared at the door of the blacksmith shop, and Zhang Qi knew that she was here to get the goods.
Silonica's army has rebelled against their lord! 】
Just as Zhang Qi handed over a batch of bundled two-handed swords to Ha Qin, a message that popped up in his vision in the lower left corner caught Zhang Qi's attention.
"Rebel City!!"
