The river is called the Nineteen Rivers because the river has a total of nineteen bends.

In addition to its headwaters, the river is several miles at its narrowest point and hundreds of miles at its widest point.

After a day's walk west along the Nineteen Rivers, the group finally came to their first destination, where the canneries, the hydraulic forging workshops, the blast furnaces, the new cement factory, and the glass factory were all located.

After all, there are plenty of water resources here.

In addition, after three days of going down the river, you can get off the boat and walk north for four to five days to reach the Tohoku Prefecture, and three days to the south to reach the Southeast Prefecture. If you keep going down the river, you will eventually pass through the country of Chen and enter the sea.

In addition to the need to be careful of all kinds of strange things in the water, I have to say that this is a good place.

If you open a north-south canal in the future, you can go up the river to Arashijo, or even further north, and you can reach the southern region in the south, then this place is really amazing.

And judging by the map, such planning is completely achievable.

The premise is that Dayao's maps that are as poor as 108,000 miles are reliable.

In the last ten or eight years, it may be the same as the Pudong New Area, and at worst, it will be the Xiong'an New Area.

Before you reach the cannery, you can see some people fishing along the riverbank.

Their approach to fishing is chic.

A group of people squatted at the water's edge at intervals of tens or hundreds of meters, cutting their fingers and reaching into the water, while the other hand held a spear with a barb.

Every once in a while, someone could be seen withdrawing his hand like lightning, piercing the spear out, and when the spear was withdrawn, a large fish weighing dozens of pounds could be seen struggling it.

The next thing is to tear off a piece of flesh from the fish, put it in the water, and wait there with a spear.

Along the way, Ren Baqian saw at least a thousand people doing such things by the river, and from time to time he could see a crocodile being pricked into the mouth with a spear to pick out of the water. The aquatic resources in this river are too abundant, and such a simple and crude method can catch at least a few hundred catties of fish a day.

When large carnivorous fish in one place are killed in large numbers, large carnivorous fish from other places are soon filled.

I don't know how many years of accumulation, so that this river seems to contain endless resources.

Ren Baqian and the empress stood by the river for a while, the two figures stood side by side by the river, and the others were waiting far away.

"This is a treasure trove. Ren Baqian pointed to the turbulent river in front of him and said, but unfortunately Da Yao has not made good use of it.

The food produced in this river alone is not at all stressful to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

This is mainly because Dayao people don't like to eat fish, because there are fish bones, which is a very troublesome thing for Dayao people who are used to eating meat.

However, it is still a good choice to make canned food from a pressure cooker and make it into military rations.

When the production comes up, it can also be put on the market.

"In the future, two canals will be opened to connect the north and south, whether it is transportation or rushing, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. Ren Baqian said his imagination to the empress. As for the manpower to open the canal, of course, it is Yunguo.

Now Ren Baqian has booked several new jobs for the people of Yunguo.

Including building roads, including opening canals, including mining......

"Let's not talk about the treasure trove, as far as I know, the new military camp has a lot of grudges against you. The empress looked at the river and said leisurely.

"Why?" Ren Baqian wondered, he hadn't had much to do with the new barracks.

"They have been eating fish for two months, they are soldiers to eat meat, not to eat fish......" The empress felt a little funny, the two batches of new soldiers in the new barracks of 40,000 new soldiers, if you want to find the most annoying person, it must be Ren 8000.

It was because of one of his ideas that they had been eating fish for two months.

They can accept eating once in a while, but now they eat these things every day, you can imagine how heavy their grievances are, and now the recruit camp can be said to be full of complaints.

Let 8,000 spread hands, this is a helpless thing, after all, Dayao is not rich in food now, and some are good to eat. The war-torn people in the north are still grazing.

Villagers in the north who were affected by the war returned to see a mess of destroyed fields.

Animal husbandry in the north is worse than in the south, and in many cases they supplement some of their meat by selling vegetables from their fields to the market.

The crops that were being planted in those fields were destroyed, and they were left to dig wild vegetables and eat a small amount of meat, barely filling their stomachs.

Although I can't starve to death, I can't eat enough.

In their words, it's grazing.

But it's better than eating dirt.

It will take at least a few months before it returns to its pre-war state.

Next, the group arrived at the cannery.

The so-called canneries are not big, but there are only a few large sheds and more than 1,000 people.

The yard was littered with piles of firewood and a lot of waste from the fish.

Columns of smoke could be seen rising from the canneries, and fish caught from the river were stewed almost 24 hours a day, stuffed into a man-high glass jar, covered with animal skins, and sent to the boot camp half a day's away.

When I got closer, I smelled an extremely strong fishy smell.

A few hundred meters away from the high temperature, where the fish waste is located, a large number of fly-like creatures are in this area, and people can startle a black pressure when they move.

Seeing such a situation, Ren Baqian's brows were twisted together.

Dirty, messy, poor! disgusting.

What comes out of this can be eaten?

"That's how you do it for the people in the boot camp?" Ren Baqian asked the person in charge of the cannery, who came to greet him, with his eyebrows twisted into questioning.

The man looked at the empress, and then at Ren Baqian, with a strange expression: "That's right!"

"Are you willing to eat?" asked Ren Baqian rhetorically.

"I eat this every day!" the man still didn't know what Ren Baqian was going to say.

Ren Baqian looked at the man with an innocent look, and he was also angry and didn't know what to say.

"This is for the mouth, what you want to eat, can you clean it? Let's not talk about dust-free, let's make it cleaner?" Ren Baqian said sadly.

"My lord, you can do what you say. The man finally reacted,

Although he felt that Ren Baqian was making a bit of a fuss.

People of this age have very different standards of hygiene from modern people.

Just like the third brother wiping his ass with his left hand and eating with his right hand is absolutely unacceptable to people in most countries.

Ren Baqian and the others stayed here for three days, and Ren Baqian formulated a whole set of sanitation rules for him, including everyone must wash their hands when they move these ingredients, those fish waste must be pulled to a distant place every day to be disposed of, and strongly require a curtain of vines around all sheds to block the entry of those flies and insects.

Although the things that Ren Baqian asked for hadn't been done here when Ren Baqian left, he was already ready to come back when he came back.

After all, this is also the first food processing factory in Dayao, and the health regulations must be set, and all future products will be handled in accordance with this.

Then everyone went to the hydraulic forging workshop, and by the river was a row of wooden waterwheels, and as the waterwheels rotated, the bearings drove two giant hammers to fall together and repeatedly hit the iron plates below.

The loud noise makes it difficult for others to hear even yelling at close distances.

"Your Majesty, this thing is too convenient, a 30-pound hammer, the craftsman can wield it for half an hour at most, and then he has to rest. And this thing can be used for twelve hours, driving two 50-pound hammers to beat non-stop, and one can be compared to nearly a hundred people. The official of the Ministry of Works, who manages the hydraulic forging workshop, said with joy.

Here, there are six such waterwheels, and they are still under construction.

For them, this hydraulic forging is an innovation, and the results are inspiring.

The iron plate after being beaten every day can be turned into a weapon in a short period of time, equipping the army and helping Dayao win this war that is still not over.
