Chapter 150 War Preparations

Cao Cao had already felt the terribleness of Jiangdong, with a large amount of wealth and sufficient food. Sun Quan gave the seeds of high-yield crops to others, but he must have left enough. Then Jiangdong's food and grass are probably more abundant than anyone else. Even if Cao Cao promotes it, it still takes time. The people under Cao Cao's rule are still unable to eat.

As for Sun Quan, Sun Quan is now trying to study more convenient things like instant noodles from later generations, and then they can be eaten with soaking, which can save a lot of time during war and greatly improve the army's mobility. Especially for the navy, if you don't get off the boat on the boat, cooking is a problem. After all, it is just unstable on the water boat, and there are many inconveniences in cooking. Sun Quan doesn't know where to dig coal in the south. Open-pit coal mines are all in the north and the south are underground. You have to dig holes in. This detection is a problem, and you know that there is no technology to dig it out.

Sun Quan first thought of two things, that is fried rice and jerky pork. This one I had eaten before and made at home. I knew the general process, so I just asked someone to try it out. I found that except for not having so many ingredients, no honey and sugar, the taste was pretty good, so I asked the logistics department to set up a workshop to start producing these two things.

Then when I asked people to fry shredded potatoes, I remembered the fries and potato chips, which can be fried. This is a very simple process, so I made it and made a lot of dried sweet potatoes. These can be stored for a long time, and there are starch and a certain amount of sugar. The potato chips can be added with salt. If there are these four as military rations, it is probably not necessary to make a fire. However, the last two must be produced after two years before they can be promoted. However, you can also prepare some technology first.

Sun Quan brought the Military Affairs Office and several ministers to the military ration production workshop. After watching the production of fried rice, it was actually very simple to steam the rice, then air-dry the water, and then stir-fry it with some oil and salt. Basically, it was fried until it was dry and there was no moisture. In addition, there was another layer of oil outside, and a lot of salt was added, which was relatively salty. Sun Quan grabbed a handful of already prepared and tasted it. He felt that it was still edible. At least he didn't say he couldn't eat it, so the soldiers could eat it even more. As for the packaging, it was packed with bamboo tubes, and sealed it with a skin made of pig skin on it. The sealing effect was still OK. The shelf period was being tested, and it was probably possible to be stored in winter for several months.

Then when everyone was late for pork jerky, they found that this pork tasted better than the ones they usually had at home or restaurants. It was mainly fresh. The roasted pork was not only fragrant, but also chewy. After eating it, Zhou Yu said, "Lord, this can be used as military rations. Even the aristocratic families can't eat such delicious meat. It feels better than beef. If the soldiers have this, they will probably fly."

Kan Ze said after hearing this: "Sir, the cost is too high. Fried rice is fine, it's just some fat and salt. We basically don't lack this kind of jerky now, but these jerky costs too much. A pig can't make much of this kind of jerky. If everyone eats this as a meal, it is probably not enough to make pork jerky in Jiangdong."

Of course everyone knows this truth, but after tasting it, they all think it is very delicious and like it. Seeing that everyone likes it very much, Sun Quan knew that it was fine. He explained to Kan Ze: "Derun, the production and packaging are all done. Then you have to test it clearly. How long can these things be stored in different seasons in summer and winter? After all, they are food, so the soldiers cannot eat broken things. We do these mainly because they can be stored for a long time and will not break. In this way, we save time to bury the pot and make rice during wars. We can save a lot of time in marching in a day, especially in some major wars, which will be very critical."

Pang Tong said: "Lord, there is no need to prepare too much in normal times. Just give more urgent production when a war occurs. During the decisive battle, we have these jerky meats to carry the soldiers. When we are tired of fighting, we can replenish our physical strength. When the enemy is still cooking, we can continue to charge. This time is enough to destroy the enemy."

"Yes, your Military Affairs Office and the Logistics Office must make plans for these things." Sun Quan ordered.

Then Sun Quan asked to prepare some for the military exercises, and the soldiers responded very well. You should know that the meat is usually eaten very little. Moreover, both taste very good and nutritious, and everyone is very satisfied. In this way, Sun Quan's military ration plan was initially realized.

Then he went to the military uniform workshop and saw the production of military soldiers' clothing. When Sun Quan saw these earth-gray cotton cloths, they felt really good to the touch, so he asked, "Everyone, have you ever worn linen cloth? This production is very large, much cheaper than those silks. Now everyone is basically no longer producing silk, and they are all wearing cotton cloths. Although they are not so soft, they are also very warm and comfortable to wear on their bodies."

Xu Shu said: "Lord, I have worn linen clothes, so it feels bad. Now all of our army wear this kind of cotton clothes. Everyone is so happy."

"Haha, Yuanzhi, after your mother arrived at Stone City, are you still used to living?" Sun Quan asked about this famous mother in the Romance of Legends, who had been taken to Stone City by the Jinyiwei a few days ago.

"Thank you, lord. My mother lives well here. Seeing that Stone City is so prosperous and prosperous, the old man said he couldn't imagine it." Xu Shu was indeed very grateful to Sun Quan for being able to pick up his old mother.

Then the group went to see the workshop for weapons casting and armor production, and then found an independent workshop in one corner, without a name, and a faint smell of strangeness came. Pang Tong asked: "Derun, where is that place? It has no brand, and it is so remote, it feels so abrupt."

Kan Ze looked at Sun Quan after hearing this, and nodded when he saw Sun Quan and said, "This was built by the lord. It seems that he is cooking some stone paint. I don't know the others."

After hearing this, Xu Shu said, "Shiqi, I saw it in some miscellaneous books when I was studying at Lushanmen. It was said that it was in Yanshou County. The stone spring water was burning very brightly and it was not eaten."

Lu Su felt that Xu Shu was really knowledgeable and said, "Yuan Zhi can be a doctorate, have you read all kinds of books? Shi Yuan is also a student of Lushanmen, why don't you know?"

Now that Pang Tong is familiar with everyone, he naturally doesn't care and says, "I can't study, my lord is a talented man, and we can't even count it."

Sun Quan said, "Okay, I'm bragging here. Look at our Gongjin, our piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays, and all of them are excellent. The key is that they are still a general who can fight. How can such talents have been there for thousands of years?"

Zhou Yu felt so sad when he heard this. Although he was conceited and did understand, he could not be said to be the only one in the past few thousand years. So he said modestly: "Lord, you are too exaggerated, how dare you behave? You are just a little handsome."

Pang Tong was immediately excited and said, "The most unpleasant thing is why you are still so handsome? Why can't I, Pang Tong, be more handsome? It's so unfair. Lord, can you make me more handsome?"
