The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

When Li Xiang walked inside, sure enough, the room was lit with fires. Otherwise, it would be too humid, especially for northern soldiers, this would be a fatal place.

They are not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, and this is even a very simple thing for them. After all, they have been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and a mere Vietnam is really not a problem.

But this kind of weather is really unbearable for them. The bed they sleep on every day feels like it has been soaked in water. And when they touch their faces at night, they are covered with all kinds of sweat. There is no dry place on their body. Even if I live in a house, I feel damp everywhere.

"We're probably running out of dry firewood, right?"

Li Xiang saw the problem at a glance. This was still where he lived. If it were changed to a place where ordinary soldiers lived, it would be even more difficult. In today's place, if you want to find a pile of dry firewood , it is really difficult, it has been raining for three days including today.

You must know that this is not a drizzle, but a heavy downpour. It is said that a flash flood broke out not far away. Fortunately, the place where we built the military camp is on relatively high ground. Otherwise, it might even be washed away by the flash flood. At that time, there were Many soldiers were still frightened when they saw the situation there.

"Your Highness Shengming, when we were here, I also stored a batch, but the daily consumption was too great. Nowadays, some private houses are empty. We can still take out a batch from their houses, but If the rain doesn’t stop, our life will be really difficult.”

Chang Sunze said with a grimace. He had also thought of many ways to solve this problem, such as transporting dry firewood from other places, but it was impossible. It was raining within a few hundred miles. If he wanted to transport it, , then it would have to be hundreds of miles away.

Not to mention the cost of transportation. If you transport it from a distance, it is likely to be stained with water. Once it is stained with water, what is the difference from the nearby wood? But if there is really no fire, the soldiers will really not be able to survive. Now there is no firewood for cooking, let alone drying some clothes.

"After they finish burning, you don't need to add more firewood inside. I am the same as the other soldiers. After all, I have just arrived here, and you have suffered a lot."

There is nothing Li Xiang can do about this matter. He is not a god in the sky, and there is no way to solve this weather problem. Naturally, it is impossible for the system to exchange firewood for you. It is not a strategic material at all, so it is impossible. Appears in the system mall.

When thinking about the system mall, Li Xiang suddenly had an idea. Although there was no firewood in the system, there was lamp oil in the system. If these things were applied to some slightly damp wood, they could be burned. , after the lamp oil is burned out, won’t the firewood be dry?

"Go outside and find some wet wood to come in."

Li Xiang thought of this and gave the order. Changsun Ze and Huo Qubing stared at each other, wondering what Li Xiang wanted to do with these wet wood? Did you discover something?

"Go quickly." Seeing that neither of them moved, Li Xiang immediately shouted. The two men immediately understood and immediately asked his men to work. There was no firewood outside. But if you want to talk about wet wood, it is simply too easy. You can take out your own knife and chop it, and a small tree will have fallen down. Then with a little trimming, a piece of wood will be brought in.

Li Xiang picked up the oil lamp on the table, poured all the oil on the wood, and then lit the wood. At the beginning, all the light was lamp oil, and there was a lot of moisture on the wood. The evaporation, although the smell is not very good, can at least produce a series of heat sources.

When the lamp oil was almost burning, the wood soon started to burn. At the beginning, the flame was not very good, but with the loss of a large amount of water, the wood began to burn slowly. People around saw After this scene, everyone felt that His Highness was exaggerating. How much does a piece of wood cost? If it takes so much lamp oil to burn a piece of wood, it would be too expensive, right?

"Long San, tell the people in China immediately and ask them to purchase a large amount of lamp oil."

Just when everyone was guessing, Li Xiang actually issued this order. There were tens of thousands of troops in the entire army. If all the servants were included, it would be nearly 100,000. How much lamp oil do you use? Our costs have gone up instantly, and lamp oil is not cheap these days.

"Your Highness..."

"I know what you want to say. It's just like this. Spend more money, but you should also understand that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also the most important. They are in this humid environment every day, let alone let them go to war. I'm afraid your mood won't get better. You guys are already in a bad mood. Not to mention the soldiers below, go immediately and order the soldiers below to find firewood, even if it's wet. We must let them warm themselves by the fire tonight."

Li Xiang asked Long San to handle this matter because he could redeem it immediately. Long San was not a fool. He immediately went to the army and picked out the system soldiers. These people would never betray Li Xiang. As for these You guys, just take your time and guess the origin of the lamp oil. Even if you guess it all, you probably won’t be able to guess it.

Although the soldiers didn't know what they wanted to do, it was raining so heavily and they asked us to go out to collect firewood. Isn't it crazy? Everyone is already wet from head to toe, but now that we are being asked to go out, we can still dry faster in the house.

However, I heard that this order was issued by His Highness Taisun, so these people have no complaints. Many veterans have been following His Highness for a long time. Of course, they know that His Highness's brain works very fast, at least he will not let us do useless work. , especially at this time of low morale.

Sure enough, when the sun was about to set, a large number of carriages came from a distance, and hundreds of carriages of lamp oil were pulled in. Each tent received some, and then someone taught them how to warm the fire.

Many people don’t know what to say about His Highness’s handiwork... (End of Chapter)
