Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 26 Harvest
"Shaoyao, Abao, Alian, help me collect some of this kind of soil from the mountain." After returning, Yang Yu first arranged for everyone to help him collect some soil and gravel. What is he going to do?

Yang Yu needs to make some refractory materials, because his biggest harvest this time is to harvest some waste weapons, and these weapons are all made of iron, including rotten armor, broken weapons and so on.

Where did these things come from? They are all collections of various tribes, some were collected from the battlefields on the grassland, and some were collected by their people when they entered the Han Dynasty to plunder.

But, why do they collect these scrap irons? You must know that on the grasslands, there was a lack of iron products, especially weapons and armor, for a long period of time. Naturally, it is normal for them to collect these things. They may It is with the idea that these things can be refined again.

As for Yang Yu, when he discovered these things, he also regarded them as treasures. You must know that it is difficult for him to find any iron blocks to sell in some markets in Dahan. It is estimated that these are strategic materials. .

After Liu Guanzhang became sworn brothers, their weapons were still made of meteorite iron contributed by someone. This fully shows that it is very difficult to obtain iron among the people.

Although Yang Yu once harvested some finished iron blocks looted by the Hulu, Yang Yu was still planning to use them to make weapons, but now, what is Yang Yu going to do.

First of all, he wants to make some agricultural tools. You know, there are too many people here, and eating is naturally a problem. It is not easy to go out to buy, so Yang Yu still plans to farm by himself. First of all, he wants to let people reclaim the fields outside. The spring seeds and summer seeds will not be able to catch up. However, he still has a small bag of wheat seeds, which he captured from those Hulu tribes. However, these are not wheat seeds, but Yang Yu regards them as wheat seeds.

According to Yang Yu's estimation, these wheats may have been brought by some foreign merchants. When they went to the grassland, they were robbed by grassland tribes. At this time, the wheat planted by the big man is estimated to not be very much. Whether there is winter wheat is still a problem. However, Yang Yu is going to experiment with this wheat to see if it is suitable for use as winter wheat.

If feasible, the rest period of some fields will be changed to half season, so that the land can be used more fully.Although the output may decrease, you must know that during the entire period of the Three Kingdoms, there seemed to be some insufficient food, especially in the next period of time, there will be some phenomenon of cannibalism, such as Yi Zi Things like eating happen.

Therefore, if Yang Yu wants to develop, agriculture is indispensable, and he needs to start planning now.The other is water conservancy. It seems that after a few years, there will be a severe drought. If the water conservancy is done well, the drought may be reduced.

In this case, these agricultural tools are indispensable, and if these scrap irons are still left, Yang Yu still wants to make a few iron pots. It has been a bit annoying to cook with clay pots for a long time. It’s too slow, one is that the cooked food is really not smooth to the taste, and the baked food tastes hot, Yang Yu misses the big pot and stir-fried vegetables very much now, and sometimes his mouth waters just thinking about it.

However, whether it is for making weapons or farming tools, the temperature does not need to be too high, but if it is a cast iron pot, Yang Yu is worried that the temperature is not enough, because there is no coal, so he has to make a durable pot. Some bricks with high temperature, and a simple iron melting furnace.

But this refractory brick is not easy to make, so Yang Yu asked everyone to collect some soil and even sand and gravel from the mountain to test to see which material is suitable.

"That's it." Fortunately, there are many firewood in the mountains, and it is easy to burn charcoal.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Shao Yao was very curious, what was her brother doing, what was he doing burning the soil every day, and sometimes some sand.

"When my brother makes it, Shaoyao will know. Shaoyao, Abao, Alian, do you remember where you dug these pieces of soil and gravel?"

"Remember, this was dug outside. Also, young master, Gao Shun is back." When Yang Yu asked them, it happened that Ah Bao also came back to report on Gao Shun.Before I knew it, another two months had passed, and Gao Shun came back just in time.

"Let's go to greet them. Also, Ah Bao, bring a few tents and newly made tools, so that those people don't have to enter the mountain." No matter how many people Gao Shun brings back, they can't be allowed to enter the mountain. There can't be so many people living here, besides, for some things, climbing the mountain back and forth is not the same thing, even Yang Yu plans to go out to live in the mountain.

"Young master, Gao Shun fulfilled his mission and brought back 15 people, including [-] men and five women. Among them, there were ten beggars."

"Okay, okay, Brother Gao, thank you, we are short of personnel now, but you have relieved my urgent need, Abao, take the men over there, and clean up, Alian, you lead the five A woman, go to the other side to clean up."

Yang Yu saw that these people were all unkempt, so it's best to clean up first, otherwise, who knows if they have any symptoms, and then let them isolate for a few days, and it will be over.

"Young master, also, this is the cloth I bought, because it is not easy to carry, so I didn't sell all the horses, but kept two and bought a carriage, and, These are the remaining copper coins, there are ten strings in total, young master, you count them."

"Okay, don't count, Shaoyao, put away the cloth and copper coins, and then set up a tent. We will live outside in the future. This is a hot time, so the clothes can be made slowly. Now, let each of them give them a piece of cloth to wear, and cut off their hair."

Naturally, cutting hair was a lot of trouble, but under Yang Yu's persuasion and some meat-eating desires, they cut all their hair, so that some small bugs would not appear on their bodies And, what's more, their clothes were also washed, and the usable ones were kept for wearing, and the ones that were too rotten were burned directly.

"Young master, what is this?" Gao Shun didn't quite understand, "What, don't you have any small bugs on your body, such as lice?" "Yes, here, who doesn't have it?" "Yes, who doesn't have it?" Yeah, especially them, there are more on the body and head, and the clothes can be thrown away, but what about the lice in the hair, how to catch them?"

"Oh, I see. No wonder the young master has always had such short hair. Is it for this kind of thing?" Indeed, Yang Yu is not used to long hair, and Shao Yao doesn't understand, even Abao and Alian said Nothing comes out, so whenever Yang Yu's hair grows, he will cut it off with a dagger, which looks like a cat chewing on it, but it's comfortable, isn't it, and that's how he can persuade him Everyone got rid of their hair.

"Well, young master, I'll cut off my hair too." Sometimes, Yang Yu found that Gao Shun was not that kind of pedantic person, it was just that he had his persistence.

"Okay, just cut it off, but I probably need to grow my hair in the future. Once we enter the mainland, it will be really ugly if we don't have hair."

Yang Yu also knows that once he enters the mainland, he can't be too different. Besides, he still wants to recruit some scribes. Although scribes in this era recognize those nobles, not all scribes recognize nobles, right? Also knowledgeable.

When Gao Shun saw that Gao Shun had also cut his hair, Ah Bao and A Lian also cut their hair. It can be seen that they also suffered from those little bugs. Besides, they also need to express their determination in front of Yang Yu, right? , So, this haircut thing just passed away.

A few days later, each of them put on new clothes for bunts. Suddenly, Yang Yu thought of a problem. He shouldn't let Gao Shun cut his hair. He needs to go to the city again, and he needs to find someone Some kind of fortune teller came to show us about the relocation of the grave. They needed to rebuild the address of those old houses. Well, the big grave bag in front of the house is not easy to put here.

"Young master, this, there is no need to go outside to see it. We just need to make some coffins outside, and then choose a place we think is suitable to move there." At this time, in Gao Shun's heart, Some things really can't be paid attention to. At this time, too many people were killed by Hu Lu, and they were all buried hastily.
