The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 347

Chapter 76: Dividing land and strengthening bone potions
With the arrival of women from the Song Dynasty, the vigorous Oita Movement also began in the more mature areas controlled by the rebels.

Jin Asheng's ancestry was from Tokyo and he was a craftsman who was good at making woodware. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, the Song Dynasty was at war with Xixia. He was recruited by the Sanyamen as a military craftsman and followed the army to the northwest. Later, due to the repeated defeats of the Song army in the northwest, the morale of the soldiers was lost. His military status was exiled, but Jin Asheng's grandfather luckily survived and settled down in Weizhou.

Fearing that he would be recruited into the army as a craftsman again, Jin Asheng's grandfather concealed his ancestral wood craftsmanship and did not pass it on to Jin Asheng's father.

However, the ancestral craftsmanship of the Jin family has not been lost, because the grandfather passed down the skills to Jin Asheng from generation to generation.

When Jin Asheng came of age, he originally wanted to save money to open a carpentry shop. Before he could take action, he was recruited by the commander of Weizhou as a civilian husband and sent to Qishan to exchange gold with the rebels.

Since then, Jin Asheng came to Shenyangjie and became a worker in the rebel camp.

In the process of working, Jin Asheng's carpentry skills gradually appeared in front of everyone, and he was promoted to a master craftsman in the processing department of the Construction Department.

The Construction Department is a comprehensive technical department established by Ergou based on the Ministry of Industry Yamen of the Song Dynasty and the Science and Technology Research Institute of later generations.

The repair and manufacturing department is not responsible for manufacturing, but must provide sufficient technical support for manufacturing.

For example, when building a city, the repair department is not responsible for directing the workers, but the craftsmen of the repair department have to tell the workers how to repair it.

Jin Asheng has carpentry skills. Although the craftsmanship is a bit trendy, mainly because he has little practical experience, he is excellent in theory. After all, his grandfather taught him everything, which is extremely rare in the inheritance of corresponding crafts.

In the traditional handicraft inheritance, masters often retain their skills when teaching their disciples, even if it is passed down from father to son.

This is not just a selfish issue of "teaching the apprentice and starving the master to death", but also involves some deeper factors.

Of course, it is undeniable that selfishness is indeed a chronic disease in the master-disciple inheritance.

But this chronic disease does not have its advantages.

As the saying goes, "The master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual."

No matter how selfish the master is, he will always teach the basic things to his apprentices, which is undoubtedly the most precious in ancient times when the circulation of information and technology was very poor.

Then the master retains the more advanced skills, which forces the apprentice to explore and learn on his own and innovate.

If this apprentice is talented, then he will definitely excel in the future.

Of course, if you don't have any talent, then nothing will happen.

Some idiots in later generations keep calling "innovation", but they know how to innovate with a hammer!
Only when people with talent and ability engage in innovation can they be called innovation.

If incompetent people without talent engage in innovation, they are just messing around and it is a waste of life. If you have all the time to mess around, wouldn’t it be nice to imitate it with something ready-made? !

The topic has gone too far.

The reason why Jin Asheng's grandfather broke the tradition of inheriting skills and taught Jin Asheng all his knowledge and experience was because he was afraid that his inheritance would be cut off from another generation, and he no longer wanted to let Jin Asheng grow freely.

He didn't even wait for Jin Asheng to master these experiences and skills, but he tried his best to pass on the experience and skills he accumulated throughout his life to Jin Asheng.

And this is the reason why although Jin Asheng's craftsmanship is a bit trendy, his theory is much higher than others.

Although Jin Asheng has a dream of being a craftsman, he also has the heart of a farmer.

Jin Asheng dreams of owning a field of his own, where he wants to plant crops, including corn and rice. Plant some wheat, then some vegetables, and raise an old cow.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he needs to find a wife first, a big-ass wife who can give him a litter of cubs.

Jin Asheng had a neighbor and friend among the rebels, a butcher named Zheng.

Zheng Tu had good martial arts and had made a living by slaughtering cattle, sheep, and hogs for generations. But when Zheng Tu was young, he joined the army and became a soldier and made some small contributions on the battlefield.

During his lifetime, Jin A was recruited by the ruler of Weizhou, and it was his friend Zheng Tu who instigated him.

Unfortunately, Zheng Tu didn't know that Jin Asheng, the conscripted civilian men, was destined to be sold for gold. When he learned the truth, he also brought his entire Weizhou soldiers to kill the rebels.

Of course, the external view is that he died in battle with honor, and only suffered the consequences of Zheng Tu's wife and teenage son who stayed in Weizhou.

Zheng Tu reluctantly joined the hunting team with his excellent butchering skills.

The reason why I say this is that Zheng Tu single-handedly lowered the minimum force limit of the cavalry generals. His military force is definitely at the bottom among all the cavalry generals.

But it couldn't stop Zheng Tu from being really good at peeling the skin and picking the meat.

Speaking of Zheng Tu joining the hunting team, it is an interesting little story.

Beastmen have rough skin and thick flesh, and are full of stench. Their flesh and blood are even more corrosive to a certain extent.

The corpses of these monsters were left in the wilderness, where even the hungriest jackals would not eat them, and mosquitoes and flies would not come close.

From a biological point of view, the corpse of a beastman naturally has a bactericidal effect, and the degradation rate in nature is very slow. Even if it is kept sufficiently moist (meaning it will not turn into a mummy), it will still take several years. time before it begins to rot.

Of course, people from the Song Dynasty had already established practices for how to dispose of corpses.

Under normal circumstances, for corpses left on the battlefield, people first dig pits away from water veins. This can ensure that when the corpses rot in the future, "corpse poison" will not be formed to pollute the underground water veins.

Then spread quicklime, bury the body, fill the hole and then spread quicklime again.

However, when people discovered the characteristics of the beastman's corpse, they could only burn it first and then bury it.

But no matter what, the disposal of the beastman's corpse is a very troublesome matter.

However, most of the beastmen are strange creatures with a height of about two and a half meters and a fat body. Their weight can even reach 700 to 800 kilograms or even more than a thousand kilograms.

Such a large piece of meat was burned to ashes in vain, and then buried, but it made the people of the Song Dynasty who had not yet solved the problem of the freedom to eat meat feel heartbroken.

To what extent did the people of the Song Dynasty become obsessed with eating meat?

Think about the yellow beef and buffalo meat sold in the wild shops. Don’t the charlatans who eat it know that it is human meat made by evil people using the method of making animals?
Of course they know.

However, the greed for meat has already covered up human ethics, especially since they have a psychological straw to cover up.

Since people have been turned into livestock, they are no longer human, so there is no harm in eating them.

Of course, if you really eat too much of this kind of animal meat, people will definitely become very abnormal.

For example, Liangshan heroes often cut out the hearts of their opponents and drank their hearts and livers with wine. This is actually the result of eating too much human flesh and losing their humanity. This is true for human flesh, not to mention these monster-like beastmen. Eating them really has no psychological burden on the Song people.

It's just that the quality of the beastman's meat is so bad that it really leaves no room for eating.

Someone once tried to eat the meat of beastmen. The taste was like the taste of half-rotten dead rats that had been fermented and steamed. It was definitely ten times more heady than the canned herrings of later generations.

Even people who are crazy about evil can't do anything to the beast-man's flesh.

But there are still people who have never given up thinking about the beastman's body.

These people who came from the realm of the Song Dynasty and were good at managing their families believed that no matter how rotten the beastmen were, their corpses could not be really useless. It must be that we have never discovered their value.

So someone suggested to Ergou whether a few professionals could be invited to study the beastman's body.

Ergou was naturally willing to be biased towards this kind of suggestion, not to mention that it was better to do research under his nose than someone doing research in the dark, only to end up with problems.

So what kind of person is considered a professional?

There are four categories: cook, doctor, butcher, and cobbler.

The cook can study the parts of the beastman that can be used as ingredients.

The doctor understands pharmacology and can study the medicinal value of various parts of the beastman's body.

Butchers are good at disemboweling and decomposing corpses, and can help the above two types of people.

As for the leatherworker, you can study the function of the beastman's thick skin.

However, among the four types of people, the cobbler is the most dispensable to join the hunting team. After all, the hunting team can skin the beastman and bring it back to the camp for him to study.

As for the first three types of talents, being able to observe live or recently deceased beastmen is of great significance to them, so those who can go to the hunting scene in person are undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, it will definitely not work if the selected person has no strength or is too timid.

So after much selection, Zheng Tu, who had good martial arts skills, especially superb butchering skills, was selected, and he "honorably" became a member of the hunting team led by Ergou himself.

Because they can get in close contact with the two dogs, and the two dogs themselves are willing to indulge, the hunting team members often know the latest news before others do.

For example, land distribution and a wife-in-law are two benefits that are absolutely irresistible to everyone.

The workers in Zheng Tubi's rebel camp learned some of the inside story first, and then Jin Asheng also knew about it.

Divide the land!
There couldn't be better news than this.

What's more, the rebels may have to give everyone a wife.

Jin Asheng is now extremely grateful to the Weizhou governor who sold him to the rebels, and to the Zheng Tu brothers who cheated him.

Of course, Jin Asheng is even more grateful to the current pioneering rebels, especially the leader of the rebels, Chen Shen and Chen Daguanren.

It is said that the land allocation plan was planned by Chen Daguan.

What, if you want to get more land, you have to earn more work points and make more contributions?
Isn’t it just about earning work points? !

Don't worry, your liver will be fine!

Soon all the humans who came to Shenyang Realm fell into a terrifying state of liver explosion.

Whether it was those who reclaimed land, those who built city walls, or those who made various utensils, they all fell into a state of madness.

Such a sudden sudden madness frightened some people in charge of management. They were mostly used to people's unhurried state in the Song Dynasty, so they thought something was wrong when they saw this situation.

But they all hurriedly reported the problem to the superiors, and soon the problems were gathered in front of Ergou.

After Ergou understood the inside story in depth, he smiled happily.

In the previous life, China also entered this extraordinary state for a period of time after its establishment. That unforgettable time was called the years of passion.

Now it seems that that is not a special case, but a ethnic trait that the Chinese people have. The only question is whether the superiors can activate this trait.

Later, Ergou did not interfere too much with people's enthusiasm, but made a request to the leader in charge of logistics to increase the reserve and distribution frequency of supplies, especially to ensure that those workers who worked overtime desperately could receive the most adequate material support. , and ensure their health.

If you want your horse to run hard, you need to feed it not only green grass, but also concentrate.

Among them, Ergou took out the bone-strengthening potion that had just been researched not long ago, and used it to replenish the strength of the workers who were working hard.

The so-called bone-strengthening potion was something that Zheng Tu, the cook Fan Quan, and Ergou, who was half a doctor, worked together to research it from the beastmen.

Ergou once studied medicine with Pang Anshi, the "King of Medicine in the Northern Song Dynasty", and is no stranger to the theory and practical operation of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, he also has some ideas from his previous life as a guide and omnipotent spiritual energy as a means, so he takes on the responsibility of a doctor. , Ergou is even better than everyone in the world.

After constant exploration and research, he finally extracted some things from the beastmen that were harmless and beneficial to humans.

That's the marrow in the Beastman's spine.

If the rest of the beastman's body is rotten sludge, then the marrow in its large vertebrae is as holy as the white lotus on the snow-capped mountains.

Its beneficial effect on human beings is extremely comprehensive.

Among them, there are a series of positive effects such as strengthening the body and strengthening bones, reducing swelling and blood stasis, clearing the mind and improving eyesight, enhancing human immunity, prolonging life, etc.

This potion is simply an unparalleled panacea for humans, but the benefit to humans from a single dose is not too obvious, unless some other poisonous internal organs of beastmen are added to the potion to specifically specialize it.

For example, when making a potion, if you add a little bit of the contents of the beastman's eyes, the potion will no longer have the effect of clearing the mind and improving eyesight, and the other effects of the potion will be slightly enhanced.

The so-called bone-strengthening potion actually discards most of the other effects of the original potion and only retains the effect of strengthening the body and bones.

This has almost brought the potion's effect of strengthening the body and bones to the extreme. Ergou had fantasized about ways to strengthen humans through genetic modification or special potion enhancement in some movies and TV shows in his previous life.

For example, super soldier serum, heart-shaped grass, gamma rays, and a series of other ideas that may be somewhat unreliable or simply unreasonable.

The bone-strengthening potion is like a weakened Super Soldier Serum. It allows the person who drinks the potion to enter a highly activated state of the body for a period of time.

At this time, if the person taking the medicine can perform high-intensity exercise, then no matter how hard he works, the final effect he will gain will be significant.
