Chapter 12: Princess, Are You Sure You're on the Run?
In ancient times, there was no glue.
If you want to glue something, you use paste.
The method is also simple, just put water in the pot and add flour or glutinous rice.
After heating, stir constantly, and wait until the starch and water are fully integrated into a paste, and the boiling is considered successful.
This kind of paste can be pasted with window paper, can be used to make clothes, and can also be added to clay and other walls to build walls.
Its effect is no worse than that of chemical products.
When Shen Wu saw the paste, her eyes lit up, not just thinking of the original effect of the paste.
Rather, it is associated with its malleable effect - anti-inflammatory!
Yes, some people say that the earliest anti-inflammatory drug was aged mustard stew.
In fact, there is an earlier anti-inflammatory drug, which is moldy and hairy paste.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was recorded that some tailors cut their hands with scissors, and they would apply some old paste on the wounds.
The wound does not become inflamed and heals better.
At that time, people only thought that the wound was covered by paste, which had the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation.
Not really.
What really works is the penicillin mold in the paste.
Shen Wu came to this overhead feudal dynasty, she has spiritual power and space.
Before leaving, he also emptied the whole capital.
Seemingly, she lacks nothing.
However, in ancient times, without antibiotics, a cold or a fever could kill a person.
There were also plagues such as cholera, smallpox, and so on.
What is even more terrifying is that now is not a prosperous time, but a troubled time.
The future is long, there are rebels behind, and on the way to escape, I don't know how many difficulties and dangers.
Wounded, inflamed, or worse, an outbreak of the plague...... No matter how strong Shen Wu's mental power is, she can't resist the virus.
Not to mention, she is not alone, there is Mama Wang, and thirty or forty followers.
"That's right! Penicillin! ”
As long as penicillin is developed, there is no need to fear inflammation anymore, and the chance of death can be reduced by more than half.
The more Shen thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.
Red Sleeves didn't know what the new master was going to do, so she hurriedly got up and saluted, "Your Highness, the slave maid is in the Shanggong Bureau, and she likes to sew and mend the most." ”
If you go out and sleep in the open air, you will inevitably tear your clothes and wear out your shoes.
She took advantage of her free time to make some paste, and she also wanted to take precautions.
"That's great!"
Shen Wu looked at the red sleeves with satisfaction, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old little palace maid, not very old, but thoughtful and meticulous.
Being able to take precautions, even if it's just a small paste, can also show her heart.
"Boil, I'll be useful!"
Shen Wu thought of penicillin, and she would not let it go.
She carefully instructed, "If the rice and noodles are not enough, I will find a way." ”
In her space, the entire granary of the capital has been emptied.
Wheat, beans, rice, sorghum and other grains were piled up in a mountain one by one.
To put it simply, it's just a paste, even if it supports an army of tens of thousands, it can last for three or five years.
Army?
Shen Wu thought of the army, and couldn't help but set her eyes on the farmland and wasteland outside the town.
There are 8,000 men stationed here, including guards such as the Shence Army, Jinwuwei, and Qianniuwei, as well as some of the men and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Two large camps on the outskirts of Beijing, with a total of 20,000 people, most of whom stayed in the capital for defense.
Although the holy car fled, the capital could not really be handed over.
Emperor Yuan An still wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible and be his emperor again.
Therefore, before leaving, he not only left most of the people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, but also appointed his favorite nephew, Shen Ji, the prince of Liang Wangfu, as Jing Zhaoling, in charge of all affairs in the capital.
There were only 8,000 men in the escort.
The number of people seems to be small, but in fact, it is vast and spreads for miles.
When they set up camp, they surrounded the whole town.
There are so many people, as well as war horses, and people eat horses and feed them, and the grain and grass required are not a small amount.
It was now just out of the city, and the dry food that the soldiers had brought with them was still enough to eat.
But if you go all the way to the west, the food supply is not timely, and there will be big problems.
"Your Highness, can you still get food?"
Shen Yu was thinking about how to infiltrate the army, and the two stewards of Goldman Sachs and Green Calyx also rushed back.
They brought in timber and carpenters, as well as cattle, horses, donkeys, and other livestock.
Shen Wan's task was exceeded.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I heard Shen Wu say something like, "The rice and noodles are not enough, I'll find a way."
Goldman Sachs' eyes lit up.
He's been going round and round the town, and he's aware of the situation—
When the nobles came to the town, they not only looked for a place to live and grabbed a house, but also rushed to buy food, fruits and vegetables, meat and eggs, etc.
They followed the emperor to flee for their lives, and when they fled for their lives, they could only bring some valuable items.
Some grain was also brought, but the magnates were not just one person, nor were they only three or five masters.
They also had slaves and maidservants, tribes, and horses.
These are food rations.
Many big families with bright brains and fast movements, after arriving in the town, quickly ordered people to find grain shops and those big families.
Whether it is selling or grabbing, they are all trying to get food.
This group of magnates is like locusts in transit, and everywhere they pass, all the food, meat, and eggs are swept away.
Goldman Sachs was able to successfully grab cattle, horses, and timber, in addition to the fact that he was willing to give silver, but also because those powerful people had not thought of this layer.
They all went to grab the food first.
Goldman Sachs also saw those wealthy slaves searching for supplies everywhere, so he thought of his own team.
These people were all temporarily collected by the princess.
Goldman Sachs is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is a clever person and very discerning.
He could see that the princess was not like a nosy enthusiast, and she would take everyone out of the palace, probably for the sake of the old lady beside her.
The princess had never thought of running away with so many people, so naturally she would not prepare anything.
Even the phoenix chariot was reported by the people of the small palace on their own initiative.
As for the grain -
"Absolutely!"
Shen Yu gave a very firm answer.
There are many ways to win people's hearts, but buying people's hearts and promising a future or anything is not the most important.
What can really make everyone return to their hearts is to properly show their strength-
I'm strong enough, you follow me, there's meat to eat!
Those people are naturally willing to follow.
It's not about character, it's about human nature.
Live to talk more.
And what Shen Wu can do is to let the people who follow her live, and they can live well and for a long time.
After going out for a turn, Shen Wu drove a carriage full of grain back.
In addition to grain, there is also a whole sheep, a whole piece of cattle, and seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Goldman Sachs and other three managers: ...... knew that His Highness was powerful, but he still didn't expect that she would have such immortal means.
Are you sure you're not fleeing?
Why, Her Royal Highness the princess gave them the feeling that she was going out on an outing?
There is grain and meat, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and even pots and pans are complete!
