Suddenly, Jia Xu arrived, but he was a middle-aged scribe in his early forties, although he was in good spirits, his clothes were quite shabby. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 He arched his hand at the guard and asked, "I don't know what your lordship has to call the lower officials to come?"

Wei Xuan looked at Jia Xu's appearance, he didn't look like a corrupt person, and in his impression, Jia Xu in history did not have a bad reputation in this regard, so he nodded, pointed to the opposite side and said: "Wenhe is here, sit down first, and talk while eating." ”

The sergeant also put a bowl of gruel in front of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was not polite, and drank it when he brought it up.

Wei Xuan asked, "How?"

Jia Xu smacked his lips and said, "Yes, it's just that the sauce tastes lighter, and it needs to be marinated for another three or five days." ”

Wei Xuan asked again, "Wen He, don't you think this porridge is a little thinner?"

Jia Xu said lightly: "Every day is like this, there is no difference. ”

Wei Xuan waved his hand and said, "The sergeant is tired, can you add a meal?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "There is a quota for military rations, and it is difficult for the subordinate officials to obey their orders." ”

Wei Xuan said again: "Only Wei a certain department, can you?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "If you want to do it every day, you can change it to wheat rice." ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "My lord, don't do it!"

Wei Xuan said strangely: "Wheat rice is wheat?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Wei Xuan knew that wheat was an extremely important food crop in later generations, and its yield and nutritional value were higher than that of corn. He became more and more strange, and couldn't help asking, "Then why not?"

Yang Feng said: "Wheat is poisonous, and if you eat too much, your stomach will be unbearable. ”

It turns out that people in this era ate wheat by boiling it in a pot like rice, so it is also called wheat rice. In this way, the nutrients of wheat can not be absorbed, and it is easy to cause indigestion, and long-term consumption will even endanger life, and people think that wheat is poisonous. However, the yield of wheat is much higher than that of corn, and it can be used to satisfy hunger at critical moments to survive famine years and save many lives. Therefore, people love and hate wheat.

Wei Xuan figured out the reason, and couldn't help laughing: "It's not that wheat is poisonous, it's that you can't eat it!"

Jia Xu, who had been careless, suddenly brightened his eyes and arched his hand: "What is the Fa, please speak!"

Wei Xuan sold a pass and asked, "Is there a stone mill in the army?"

Zhang Ji replied: "Yes." ”

Wei Xuan waved his hand and said: "First take a thousand catties of wheat, ask the sergeant to grind it into flour, and then Wei will teach you how to eat it." ”

"Thousands of catties?!" Zhang Ji said with a wry smile, "The stone mill in the army only occasionally grinds some rice flour for the general to use to make cakes, and it is already good to get ten catties a day." ”

Wei Xuan was dumbfounded and said, "How big is this stone mill?" Dian Wei, go get it and take a look." ”

Dian Wei bowed his promise and turned to leave. A moment later, there was an uproar in the army, and Dian Wei walked over with a huge grinding plate. Looking at the size of the grinding disc, I am afraid that it will be up and down 500 catties. And Dian Wei held the grinding plate, and it seemed effortless.

After practicing Tai Chi, Dian Wei felt that his internal strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and he admired Wei Xuan even more. As long as it is Wei Xuan's order, he will complete it to the letter, so he doesn't care about other people's eyes.

Wei Xuan walked over with an indifferent expression and circled around the millstone. He knew that Dian Wei was a wrestler who chased the tiger and dragged the bull backwards, so this small grinding disc was naturally not a problem.

After this circle, Wei Xuan made a discovery. He casually drew his saber from the waist of a sergeant, drew two diagonal lines on the grinding plate, and said, "Find a stonemason, and try to sharpen it again!"

It was not a matter of time and a half to carve the stone mill diagonally according to Wei Xuan's requirements, and it was impossible for everyone to sit here and wait, so they dispersed. Only Jia Xu didn't leave, and asked, "My lord, what's the difference between stone grinding and carving?"

The principle of stone grinding and sawtooth is the same, which also involves some knowledge of mechanics, Wei Xuan and the people of this era can't explain clearly, so he waved his hand and said: "What's the difference, you will know when you arrive." Someone asked you, is there really a shortage of food in the army?"

Jia Xu answered all questions and told Wei Xuan that the imperial court only gave Dong Zhuo 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Dong Zhuo now has more than 100,000 people, so the food and salary are naturally not supplied.

In the past, these soldiers and horses were stationed in various places, and the situation was slightly better, but recently I heard that the emperor was seriously ill, and Dong Zhuo transferred 20,000 people from Xiliang to come over, and the food in the camp was even more tight. Of course, these fierce Xiliang soldiers will not really let themselves go hungry, and they always have to go out to get some wild food every once in a while, that is, robbing the villagers, robbing money and food, and even robbing women. There are many soldiers and horses, so it is natural to take military discipline seriously, otherwise it is easy to make a big mess, so Wei Xuan will see that there are ten times more guards at the gate than in the past.

People can reduce their food expenses by reducing their discipline, but horses can't do it, and they must be fattened and strong. The reason why it takes only ten days to practice is for another reason. After all, war horses originally lived on the prairie, and the hooves of horses were not easy to wear. But after being tamed, they not only have to carry the weight of people or objects, but also run on hard ground or gravel roads for a long time, and the hooves of horses are seriously worn. Once the horse's hooves are broken, the horse is scrapped. In order to protect the horse's hooves as much as possible, the number of exercises can only be reduced.

Wei Xuan suddenly said in a deep voice: "Others, Wei can't control it! But Wei's soldiers are not allowed to look for wild food from now on!"

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "My lord is wise!"

But from his eyes, Wei Xuan clearly saw distrust. Wei Xuan didn't care, and said: "Wenhe, you go to find a few skilled blacksmiths, Wei Mou's drawing pattern, and make a few pairs of iron shoes for the war horse." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Jia Xu promised, but secretly amused in his heart. Putting on the shoes of the war horse, this young adult is really whimsical. But how did he know that in the later generations, there was a special trade of nailing horseshoe. Although Wei Xuan only knew a rough idea, it did not prevent him from conducting the experiment. Even if dozens of horses are scrapped, if they succeed, they can more than double the service life of thousands of horses, and this is still a good deal.

After sending Jia Xu away, Wei Xuan also planned to return to the tent to cultivate, but he heard someone behind him shouting: "Zhongdao, please stay!"

Wei Xuan looked back, but it was Li Ru who came over with a few people, and hurriedly saluted: "What advice does Master Li have?"

Li Ru laughed and said: "Zhongdao, you and I are working under the master's hands, so there is no need to be polite." The lord loves talents, knows that Zhongdao is a hero, and he gives a BMW. Someone!"

An attendant answered and led a horse. I saw that the horse was abnormal, the whole body was fiery red, and there was not a single stray hair on the body.

Wei Xuan was surprised: "Isn't this Ma the Red Rabbit?"

Li Ru smiled: "It turns out that Zhongdao also knows the name of the red rabbit. This is the lord's love for horses, and this time it is returned to Zhongdao. ”

In fact, Dong Zhuo is fat, not able to sit for a long time, and can't ride a horse, and he relies on a car to get in and out.

Wei Xuan didn't know this, he heard that it was really a red rabbit horse in front of him, so he couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Zhongdao is slow! This horse is fierce, and he is ...... alive."

Before he finished speaking, the red rabbit Ma Xi Yu let out a long hiss, and the person stood up, and the two bowl-sized hooves stepped down according to Wei Xuan's chest.
