Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 368 Qin Jun likes to eat sheep.

Cheng Yaojin's lung capacity is really big, he didn't have much time to inflate the sheepskin to the full.The whole sheepskin was bulging, Li Chen hurriedly greeted his subordinates, and stuck the air inlet firmly.

"Oh!"

Li Chen took the inflated sheepskin from Cheng Yaojin's hand, threw it on the water, and said to Cheng Yaojin, "Bite Jin, sit on it and try!"

"I come?"

"King Qin, my old Cheng has the weight, not to mention a piece of sheepskin. Even a live sheep will have to sit on my butt to die by my old Cheng!" Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said.

Cheng Yaojin, like his horse, the tiger with a big belly, has a big belly. Cheng Yaojin estimates that it weighs more than 200 jin, close to [-] jin.The long one is five big and three thick, and the hands on the body are also strong.

Let's just describe Cheng Yaojin like this, that's a big fool.His weight is in the army, and there are few people bigger than him.If this inflated sheepskin can support Cheng Yaojin, then most of the people in the army can support it.

"If you are told to go, go, there is so much nonsense!" Li Chen glared at Cheng Yaojin, and said viciously.

"Pfft!"

Cheng Yaojin jumped into the water, just in time to ride on the sheepskin.Needless to say, after this sheepskin is full of energy, it is more than enough to entrust the energy to bite the gold.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"Don't tell me, this thing can really carry my old Cheng. Your Highness Qin Wang, can we just ride this sheepskin to land?" Cheng Yaojin said while riding the sheepskin.

"Come up!"

"You will know how to use this sheepskin later!" Li Chen said to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin went ashore with the bulging sheepskin in his arms, and he couldn't put it down right now.He never imagined that he could sit on the buttocks of a live sheep to death, but this sheepskin could actually carry him in the river.

"Military Master, the buoyancy of this sheepskin is amazing after it is inflated. After one piece of sheepskin is inflated, it is close to one meter. We can tie a dozen or even dozens of inflated sheepskins together. Then use The wooden rafts are fixed to make a sheepskin raft."

"This sheepskin raft, the smaller one can carry dozens of people, and the larger one can even carry more than a hundred people. The most important thing is that these sheepskin rafts are very simple to make. As long as there are enough sheep, we can carry them in just a few days. It can be enough for the army." Li Chen said to Liu Bowen.

After listening to Li Chen's words, Liu Bowen was shocked.Liu Bowen said in his heart, King Qin is really powerful.Although this sheepskin raft is simple to manufacture, how did King Qin think of such a thing?
"Quick, don't be idle, let's help blow together!"

"Take advantage of this time, let's make a sheepskin raft and try!" Cheng Yaojin yelled, and he picked up another sheepskin and began to blow.

As the saying goes, there is great strength in numbers, and these generals of the Qin Army helped blow the sheepskin one by one.When the sky just dawned, a sheepskin raft made of more than 60 sheepskins was ready.

"Come on!"

"Brothers, tell me how many people can be carried on this sheepskin raft." Standing on the sheepskin raft, Cheng Yaojin waved to the generals.

It was a breeze for this sheepskin raft to board 30 people first.Immediately afterwards, another 30 people went up, but it turned out that it was not a big problem.

In the end, another 20 people went up, and the draft of the sheepskin raft was slightly deeper.In the end, it was concluded that the sheepskin rafts made of sixty sheepskins could fully carry eighty sailors.

Seeing this scene, all the soldiers in the army were overjoyed, they finally found a way to cross the river.

"Tell our men to buy me sheep within a radius of a hundred miles, and buy all the sheep around." Li Chen ordered to his men.

Come on, with Li Chen's order, the generals of the Qin Army sent dozens of soldiers, thousands of good people, to find villages along the river to buy sheep.Anyway, if you have sheep in your home, you will buy them at a high price.

On this first day, the soldiers sent out were scrambling to buy sheep, for fear that they would not be able to buy sheep if they were too late.

On this first day, the effect was very good, and more than 1 sheep were bought.However, the effect was not so good on the second day. The nearby sheep were all bought, and there was no sheep to buy.

Moreover, the people along the river are all rumored that the soldiers of the Qin army like to eat mutton.Buy sheep during the day, and eat barbecue in the barracks at night.

In fact, Qin Jun was eating barbecue at night, they were clearly drying sheepskin overnight.

"King Qin, it's not enough!"

"Today, we bought [-] sheep. In this way, we can only have [-] sheepskins, and we can transport [-] soldiers if we die." Liu Bowen said with a look of embarrassment.

In this era, ordinary people's families could not afford to raise sheep, and those who could raise livestock were rich and landlord families.Now, not to mention the sheep with a radius of a hundred miles, even the sheep with a radius of two or three hundred miles have been bought by Qin Jun.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now there are good ways, but there are not enough sheep.It is not impossible to buy far away, but it is really delaying things to go back and forth.

"My lord, the sheep are gone, can cows and horses do it?"

"I was thinking, isn't this sheepskin and cowhide and horseskin the same? If we can't buy sheep, how about we buy cows and horses?" Cheng Yaojin asked Li Chen.

Needless to say, although Cheng Yaojin is usually confused, he is really not confused when it is critical.Reminded by Cheng Yaojin, Li Chen thought of it.There are sheepskin rafts on the Yellow River, and there is also a special kind of water craft in Lanzhou, Qinghai, called cowhide rafts.

In Qinghai and Lanzhou, there are not many sheep farmers, most of them are cattle farmers.If you want to trade these local specialties, it is very inconvenient to transport by land, so you also need to use more waterways.

Therefore, people in Qinghai invented a kind of cowhide raft.This cowhide raft is different from a sheepskin raft, the sheepskin is delicate and the cowhide is rough.Moreover, the hardness of this cowhide is much greater than that of sheepskin.

This person can blow and inflate sheepskin, but there are not many people who can blow cowhide.

However, the command of this working people is unlimited.Although cowhide cannot be blown, it can be made into leather tires.This leather tire is to cut open the cowhide, and then stuff it with cow hair, wool, and hay soaked in tung oil, which has a high buoyancy.

The following steps are the same as making sheepskin rafts, tie up the cowhide tires and fix them with wooden rafts.The volume of this cow is much larger than that of a sheep, and a few cows can be tied into a raft.

Li Chen thought, since cowhide can be made into leather tires, so can this horsehide.The reason why no one uses horse hide is because the horse itself is a kind of transport power, and its value is relatively higher than that of cow hide, so no one uses it.
