Chapter 98: The Flood Brings Food......
(Thank you for the reward from the book friends in the whole autumn, and add more...... )
It's just that what Liu Shengzhi didn't expect was this. But more than half a month later. This batch of grain was actually transported to Luoyang. Liu Shengzhi was surprised!
On this day, Liu Shengzhi received a message from the crow again. He closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then gave an order to gather all the displaced people in the village.
Come to the edge of a gentle river and make all the displaced people wait.
At this time, Liu Shengzhi's reputation was already in full swing among the homeless.
Therefore, although the order issued by Liu Shengzhi made these displaced people feel inexplicable. But they still waited honestly at the water's edge, watching the water splash.
Only Bu Pengpeng complained, and he was still burning bricks in the kiln. There can be no delay, lest it burn the clouds.
Liu Shengzhi didn't pay attention to him, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart. waited until more than half an hour, and my heart moved: "Here ...... come"
Soon more people with good eyes noticed the strange thing, pointed to the river and shouted, "What is that?"
In the middle of the river, there were wooden planks floating, and on the planks were bags of sacks.
Liu Shengzhi finally showed a smile on his face, and said, "Bring all this grain ashore......
"Grain? Is this food?" Hearing what Liu Shengzhi said clearly, everyone was immediately taken aback.
"Naturally, it's food, so don't go quickly. There can't be one missing!" Liu Shengzhi said with a smile.
Despite their suspicions, the homeless people jumped into the water as quickly as they could, bringing the planks floating on the water to the shore.
"Food, it's really all food......"
"Rice is the ...... of rice"
The cheers came one after another, and these homeless people opened the sacks like crazy, and saw that they were all filled with rice that had not been hulled.
Everyone scrambled to jump into the water. Bring all this food ashore. One by one, they smiled.
In such an era, there was rice naturally planted in Jiangyou, but there were not too many of them. The staple food of the people is still chestnut rice, wheat and the like.
Even later archaeologists have found a warehouse of military grain in the Qin Dynasty in a certain place, which is full of rice that has not been hulled. It is said that it was fed to military horses......
In a word. Although not the food they are used to. But for the homeless people who eat wild vegetables and leaves every day, it is natural to be happy to see this food.
Each bag is exactly 100 catties, which is 5,000 bags of grain. It took them several hours to carry them ashore. Although they were tired and half dead, they all showed a smile of joy.
Look at the grain that is like a long dragon, drifting up the river from downstream. Bu Pengpeng and Gu Xin's mouths were opened so wide, they couldn't figure out how these grains floated in?
If only they knew. This is from Jiangxi on the other side of the Yangtze River, and I don't know how long I have been drifting all the way. Finally drifted to this Luoyang, I'm afraid it will feel incredible, like a fantasy!
In fact, even Liu Shengzhi felt very incredible. I can't figure out how this grain was transported.
The only thing that can be thought of, no matter what method is used. But the price to be paid is probably far from the value of the food itself.
"I'm afraid I don't know how much water god power has been communicated between the north and the south. There is such a miracle just now!" Liu Shengzhi vaguely guessed.
With food, everything is easy. Liu Shengzhi sent people again. Gather the leaders of several other camps. Secretly discussed, the family divided a little food.
Originally, only this homeless village was directly controlled by Liu Shengzhi, and the other homeless camps were only semi-independent.
However, now Liu Sheng's supernatural powers are vast. It can not only cure diseases and save people, but also bring the dead back to life. He was even able to cast spells and get so much food.
Naturally, the leaders of the exiles everywhere were in awe. For Liu Shengzhi, he was even more obedient and was completely included in Liu Shengzhi's management system.
5,000 stone of grain, as much as 500,000 catties. There are not many, and the average of a homeless person is only one or twenty catties.
Save down the words of a homeless person a day. But it's enough to last for more than two months. You can almost hold on until the pumpkin is ripe.
Although there is not much food in three taels, it is far from enough. But these homeless people, who have not been able to eat much food for so long, have not survived?
With three taels of food a day, plus wild vegetables, fish and meat, at least I can't starve to death.
In this way, there is hope, and the atmosphere of the entire homeless village has changed from lifeless to thriving.
Especially when it took more than two months to overcome many technical difficulties, the first furnace of steel was finally smelted.
When the red-hot steel slowly flowed out of the outlet and poured into molds one by one, turning into tools such as knives, guns and hoes, the entire homeless village went completely crazy.
No one could have imagined that steel could be made in this way. Instead of the traditional one, the sponge-like pig iron is smelted, and then it is forged by hand and carburized into it continuously, and then it becomes mature iron and steel little by little.
And this strange-looking small blast furnace can actually be directly smelted into steel. Such a shock can be imagined!
Fortunately, this homeless village is a relatively closed place, and the news will not be leaked. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble.
This furnace of molten steel produced five or six hundred catties. In later generations, this kind of steel furnace is simply a waste of tatters even if it is blown up.
But in such an era, this hard-earned thing can already be said to be very rebellious.
Hundreds of catties of molten steel can be smelted in one furnace, which has long exceeded the imagination of anyone in this world.
Bu Pengpeng swore that because the first furnace of steel was still inexperienced, there were a lot of mistakes, so there was less steel to be conceded.
According to his design, this furnace of steel should be able to produce 2,000 catties, that is, one ton...... In fact, this is just a technological cloud that has been reached in the Ming Dynasty......
However, even if it is seven or eight hundred pounds. It's enough to excite people, more than 200 gun heads have been built, as long as the gun body is loaded, it is a long gun.
And the gun body is even easier, in such an era, there is not much destruction of the vegetation environment. Not to mention, there are not many traces of human activity in the vicinity, and there are large and small trees everywhere.
The guns were already ready, and almost immediately more than two hundred more spears were given to the homeless, with a length of more than two and a half meters.
Bu Pengpeng was a supporter of the spear formation, and when he didn't get out of steel, he had already started training.
However, this kind of thing is managed by Gu Xin, who is proficient in team operations.
This guy manages the entire homeless people as a large team, divided into small groups, and works together. (To be continued......)
