Chapter 531

"Toast sir, this is the military food given by general Su to my firearm supervisor." Xue Rengui took a large carriage of goods and materials into the firearm supervisor's barracks and reported to Merton.

The army must have dry food, and it is the dry food of 200000 troops. If Su dingfang wants to prepare the dry food of 200000 people, I'm afraid he can't care about it. He can only distribute the general food among the armies and let them prepare the dry food for the army themselves.

"Military food!" Merton couldn't help but gather together curiously. He really didn't eat military food when he joined the army for the first time. Although he had a long way to go, people along the way had already prepared food and had long been curious about the military food of Datang.

Xue Rengui pulled a sack from the carriage, opened it, put it in front of Merton, revealed a yellow piece inside and said, "this is a necessary thing for marching and fighting, corn."

"Corn!"

Merton immediately frowned. He was no stranger to corn. When the Mojia village was poor, he ate millet and rice all day to protect his life. The biggest impression of corn was that he was not full. He could eat it normally. It was a marching war!

Xue Rengui explained: "tell the general, since ancient times, the military food for marching and fighting has been millet rice. Although millet rice is full, people and horses can eat it, which is very convenient."

Merton suddenly realized, but understanding belongs to understanding. For war horses, corn is a rare refined feed, but for people, it is a little insufficient.

Merton had an idea. He thought of a common military grain in later generations. He reached out and called Xue Rengui and said, "go to general Su and leave 30% of these corn as food for the war horses, and replace the other 70% of the corn with flour."

"Flour!" Xue Rengui immediately said, "although flour is good, it is not easy to preserve and make dry food!"

In this era, the main function of flour is to make steamed bread and noodles. It is prone to moisture and can't be preserved for a long time.

Merton smiled mysteriously and said, "don't worry, this sacrifice has only a clever plan."

Xue Rengui left in disbelief, but he didn't know that if Qin Huaiyu and the three saw Merton's smile, they would know that Merton had another wonderful idea and would have gone in high spirits.

Because no one wanted flour at all, and there were not many people in the fire monitor, soon Xue Rengui pulled a cart full of flour back.

"Worship Lord, the flour you want is coming." Xue Rengui gasped.

Merton opened the cloth bag, looked at the white flour and nodded with satisfaction.

"Wine worship Lord, how do you make dry food?" Xue Rengui said at a loss.

"Don't worry, when it comes to food, Mohism is unique in the world. It ensures that you can taste delicious and easy to preserve dry food." Merton said confidently.

"Somebody, fry all the flour for me!" Merton commanded.

Yes, what Merton wants to do is China's second-generation military grain, fried noodles!

As a military grain, fried noodles became popular from the Song Dynasty until the war of resistance against Japan. The Eighth Route Army also said that there was a mouthful of fried noodles and a mouthful of snow. After thousands of years of verification, it has lasted for a long time, which obviously has its merits.

Immediately, the whole firearm supervisor went into battle and began to set up a big pot. Soon, a pot of fried noodles was freshly baked.

"A sneeze!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but taste it. The taste was really good, but it was too difficult to swallow. He choked carelessly. His nostrils were fried noodles and his white mouth and nose were all fried noodles, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from Baiqi soldiers.

Xue Rengui quickly drank a few salivas, which made him more comfortable. He wiped off the fried noodles on his face with water and said, "Lord sacrifice, this is what you call dry food."

Merton said with a smile, "do it or not!"

Xue Rengui said with a bitter smile, "it's really dry, but I'm afraid it's not hungry just to eat these fried noodles!"

Merton turned his head and asked, "what do you say to be hungry!"

"Meat! Of course, it's hungry to eat meat!" Xue Rengui blurted out, and then his face was a little angry. In this era, the status of soldiers is low, and it's good to have enough to eat. I'm afraid everything else is just to fill your stomach, except when you reward the three armed forces with big fish and meat.

Other hundred cavalry officers and men nodded one after another. When Merton tested gunpowder weapons, he got meat for hundred cavalry officers and men. That delicious food makes them remember it now.

Merton suddenly patted his thigh and said, "come on! Why didn't I expect someone! Go to give me a drink and buy some livestock from the people in the city."

Xue Rengui hesitated and said, "but when we are in the army, grain and grass are distributed uniformly! There are corn in other armies. If the firearm supervisor eats meat, I'm afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the officers and soldiers!"

Merton shook his head and said, "this is a test of new military food. If it is successful, I'm afraid the whole army can eat meat in the future. What's their dissatisfaction? I'll pay for the wine myself. Just buy it, and I'll take the rest."

"Yes!" Xue Rengui's appointed took a gold ingot from Merton and immediately took the order.

When Xue Rengui drove dozens of sheep and hundreds of chickens and ducks back to the barracks, the whole barracks immediately became a sensation. The news that the firearms supervisor wanted to develop new military grain spread all over the barracks in an instant.

Chinese Army accounts.

Li Jing and other generals were studying Tuyuhun's map. When they heard a noise outside the military tent, they frowned and said, "come on, go and see what's going on?"

"I told the general that the firearms warden changed all the corn distributed by the army into flour, and bought a large number of poultry and livestock from the people, saying that he wanted to study new military grain." a personal soldier came in and reported to Li Jing.

"The new military grain, so it's disgusting that millet and rice are not delicious." Li daoyan said in a strange way.

Cheng Yaojin skimmed his mouth and said, "it's needless to say that you don't know what corn rice tastes. It's not only not delicious, but also not full."

It's not just Cheng Yaojin. Other generals would have been tired of sharing millet if it wasn't convenient for people and horses. Moreover, millet and rice are eaten by ordinary soldiers. Unless it's a show or in a particularly difficult period, as generals, they naturally have other small stoves, such as the famous fried meat of generals in later years.

Merton himself even opened a small stove. He even opened a small stove for the whole firearms prison, and there was a lot of noise.

"General, this trend can't last long. Fairness is the most important thing in the army. If other armies eat corn and firearm supervisors eat meat, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the army." Hou Junji said with an uneasy face.

Other generals also nodded one after another, which is indeed a lot of hidden dangers.

Li Jing sighed immediately. There was a rumor in Chang'an city that mojiazi was a catfish. He went where he tossed. Now he finally realized Li Shimin's feeling.

However, due to the special status of the firearm supervisor, he naturally had to be careful. When he was hesitating, a personal soldier came in and reported: "inform the general that the firearm supervisor offered wine and ask the general to give advice on new military rations."

As soon as Li Jing's eyes lit up, he suddenly got up and said, "let's go and see what's unique about the new military grain of ink sacrifice wine. I heard that everything from the hands of ink sacrifice wine has its own magic. If the new military grain is really good, I'm afraid we can get rid of this tasteless millet rice in the future."

All the generals despised and expected, and got up together and went to the fire monitor.
