There are many types of food in the cave, including the common rice, wheat, millet, soybeans and other local crops of Great Tang. At the same time, there are sweet potatoes and corn crops from America. The nutrition is quite comprehensive. It looks like a horse thief The quality of life in the nest is not bad.

Most of these grains were robbed, they were robbed from the hands of merchants and peasants. Some bags of grains also had the logo of the merchant, and Li An knew that the merchant was robbed. Grain is naturally stolen goods.

However, it doesn’t matter if the merchant loses a little, Li An does not intend to return these grains to the merchants’ hands. After all, these grains have already been regarded as the soldiers’ spoils of war. It is the soldiers’ efforts to obtain these grains. And merchants do not at all give any effort, why should they give them back, as long as they do not tell them.

“Hmph, these hateful horse thieves eat better than the barracks. They have hoarded so much food. Just like them, they can’t eat them for 3 years!”

Lao Guo saw that there is so much food here, there are still many key types, the nutrition is very balanced, and naturally he is very angry.

“Don’t be angry with Lao Guo. In the future, these grains will be yours. Let’s pull them back to the barracks later!”

Li An said.

This kind of food is not a huge amount of wealth, just eating. Old Guo left it alone and there is nothing wrong with it. The above understood will not be checked, not to mention it is for the soldiers, not the personal corruption of the general. of.

“No, just stay here! This place is pretty good, and it can be used as a military barracks. In the future, there will be no more than a horse thief messing up for 500 soldiers and a few 10 li. It is not a wonderful thing.”

Old Guo said.

He had planned to deploy a military barracks in the mountains where horse thieves infested. However, after entering the mountain a few times, he had not found a suitable camp site. Moreover, building a semi-permanent military barracks was not an easy task. The house needed to be built There are a lot, and there are a lot of defensive buildings, all of which need to spend money, and the Imperial Court gives so much military money, it is not so easy to reach out for money, so this matter is put on hold, and it is different at this moment. The horse thief ’s lair is very good in terms of geographic location and conditions. A large number of houses are ready-made and the defense facilities are relatively complete. If the horse thief does not escape and stays here, it will cost to capture. It takes a lot of energy and cost. In addition, the food here is also very sufficient. The stream is next to it, which is clean water. It is simply a standard bag check. You do n’t need to pay any price. Even the horses are their own residence and Food, such a condition of blessed by heaven, how can Lao Guo miss it? Moreover, the military camp is located here, which can deter the horse thief in the mountain at a closer distance. Needless to say, the benefits.

In addition, if you do n’t set up a barracks here, in order to prevent the horse thief from coming back, you must burn this huge horse thief ’s den, so it is a waste of resources. If so many houses and facilities are rebuilt, it will cost There is a lot of money and time. Lao Guo is really reluctant to have such a good ready-made facility, and the horse thief not at all is eliminated, and it is also necessary to garrison in the mountains. Therefore, it is natural to use the ready-made horse thief lair, this horse thief It can be said that the nest solved the big problem of Lao Guo, and he was very satisfied with the nest.

“That’s right! An army stationed here can better deter the surroundings. The horse understood will definitely be mad, haha!”

Li An said with a smile and took a few steps forward.

The space inside the cave is very large, but it is not circular, but long, with an aspect ratio of at least ten to one, with an average width of ten meters, and a length of 100 meters, with a total area of ​​1000 square meters. There are ten houses in the later generations, which can store a lot of food.

The most important thing is that the cave is not wet, on the contrary, it looks a bit dry, otherwise, the stored grain will easily become moldy, and the reason for the drying is naturally because the cave is a transparent structure from north to south, and the exit is not one, but 2 There are outlets at both ends. In this way, the dry air outside the cave can walk away from the inside to take out the moisture generated in the cave. In this way, the air in the cave will naturally be drier. This is The most important reason why caves can preserve food.

Of course, there is another reason for the temperature. You should know that whether it is high or low, it is unfavorable for the preservation of food. High temperature can easily cause food to rot, and low temperature can also freeze food, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. It will be frozen at low temperature.

The temperature in the cave is relatively stable. In summer, the weather outside is hot, and the temperature inside the cave looks very cool. In winter, the outside is cold and cold, and the interior is warm. At least, Foods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes will never be frozen.

Most of the food accumulated in the horse thief ’s nest is food that can be stored for a long time, but there are also foods that do not last long, such as vegetable foods, and still fresh vegetables, such as garlic, radish, etc. These foods The shelf life is less than one month. The radish will change its taste after being stored for a long time, it will become unpalatable, and the garlic will be poisonous if it deteriorates.

Of course, there are some dried vegetables in the cave that have been preserved for more than half a year, that is, fresh vegetables that have been dried in summer and autumn. After these vegetables have been dried, they can be stored for a long time. There is not much problem with time.

Li An looked at it. The vegetables in the cave include plum beans, daylilies and other dried vegetables, and the number is still quite large. With such a large inventory, even if each horse thief eats half a catty every day, it is enough to consume half a year. It can be seen how savvy these horse thieves are. They intend to stay permanently. Once the officers and men have sealed the mountain, they can last a long time with the food stored in the cave.

Going further, Li An smelled a salty taste, yes, this is where the preserved products are stored. A large amount of cured meat hangs on the high shelves, including pork and donkey horse meat. These marinated The meat has a long shelf life, and the taste is also very good. It is easier to eat than fresh meat, and people can eat a lot of food unconsciously.

The amount of these bacon is also large, enough for the horse thief to consume for half a year. Moreover, these bacon are marinated after being cooked, and they can be eaten directly without any processing.

Lao Guo took a piece of bacon and put a bite in his mouth, and even said it was delicious.

Li An also took a piece of bacon, gently tore off a small piece, and chewed it in his mouth. The taste is really not bad. It can be seen that there are also people with good cooking skills in the horse thief group.

The bacon is hanging high, there are many pickles in the tank below, mainly radish pickles, and some leaf vegetables are also made into pickles. Although the number of these pickles is not too much, but the pickles are not Eating too much, so this is also a large amount, and eating 3-5 years is no problem.

There is a Small Sect in the innermost part of the cave. This door is transparent. It can be seen that there is another exit. Li An opens the Small Sect and walks out of the cave with Lao Guo.

The sunshine outside is very good, and the environment is also very good. Moreover, this place is actually a grain production area, and the land reclaimed by the horse thieves, which is as much as 100 acres.

There is also a lot of food grown. From the traces, it can be seen that many crops, such as the field closest to the hole, are planted with pumpkins. The fruits of the pumpkins are naturally picked, but the pumpkin vines are left behind In situ, people can see at a glance that this was once a pumpkin field.

A little further away is the land reclaimed by horse thieves such as sweet potato land, soybean land, etc. These utilised reclaimed land seem to prove that some of these horse thieves are farmers who have lost their land and cannot find a way to live before entering the mountains As a horse thief, he is responsible for growing food for horse thieves.

The horse thief mainly lives by snatching, but with the increasing number of people, snatching is obviously not enough. 10000 soldiers and soldiers seal a large area, can’t they starve to death, produce some food by themselves, can guarantee that they will not be trapped dead,

Moreover, Qiwu Mountain is so big, there are land and water resources, resources are not used 100, not used, planting more crops can also reduce the pressure of robbery and reduce the possibility of exposure.

“What a great place! There are hundreds of acres of land here. If the horse thieves don’t go out to rob, the 100 acres of land alone can feed a lot of people.”

Old Guo said.

According to the standards of later generations, it is no problem to feed a few hundred acres of land and feed a few hundred people. However, this is not possible in the era of Great Tang. In this era, there was no industrialized fertilizer or high-yielding hybrid rice. Poor, it is good to harvest 100 kg of grain per acre of land. This is the yield that only the fertile field can have. The land of Qiwu Mountain is relatively barren, and the yield is lower. The alien species of sweet potato is slightly better, on barren land. It can also have a good yield, but sweet potatoes cannot compare with rice and wheat. Eating too much of this food will make the stomach acid reflux and make people uncomfortable. The main food cannot choose sweet potatoes, which will make people malnourished.

Generally, sweet potatoes are grown on a large scale only if there is really no way. After all, the output of sweet potatoes is very high, which can better fill the belly of the old 100 people, so that the old 100 people can eat and eat. Of course, between saturated and good, it is of course the most important to choose to eat full.

In the hungry era of later generations, sweet potatoes were planted in most of the country ’s land, because only the huge output of sweet potatoes can meet the food needs of ordinary people, and the low-yield food is definitely not enough.

It is sweet potatoes that feed more people. If there are no sweet potatoes, how many people will starve to death in that special era?

There are a row of houses next to a few 100 acres of arable land. These houses are covered under a few big trees. When I walk in, I see some agricultural tools for working, and even some fertilizers. These fertilizers are naturally human and livestock. Fat and green manure.

The so-called human fat is human waste, animal fat is animal waste, and green fertilizer is simpler, that is, burying the plant in the soil and fermenting it, and turning the plant into fertilizer after it rots. These two types of fertilizers are all natural. It is pollution-free and is very good for making fertilizers. In ancient society, most of the fertilizers were these types, especially human excreta. Although they were disgusting, they must not be wasted.

In many cities, there will be people who are specifically responsible for collecting feces. These people will not only receive no salary, but also have to pay a certain fee, which is the cost of buying feces.

Therefore, it is interesting in ancient times. Human feces can also be sold, and animal feces can be sold. So, you do n’t have to worry about too many city animals. The roads will be covered by animal feces. This is definitely not the case. What happens, even if there is no cleaner, will not happen, because there will be many people who will take the initiative to pick up the feces of these animals, and even reach the point of snatching.

Regarding this point, Li An has the absolute right to speak. In the special eras of later generations, there will often be older generations who talk about their hardships when they were younger. These old people experienced the hardships in their childhoods that later generations do not. Dare to imagine.

For example, when they are 5 ~ 6 years old, they need to get up early to pick up dung, that is, when the sky is not bright, they must carry a small dung basket and go outside to pick up chicken dung, and there is nothing to pick up chicken dung. You can use the tool to pick it up with your own hands, pick it up and smell it in your hand, and then put it in a small dung basket after it is chicken dung.

As for why you should smell it, it is naturally because the light in the morning is too dim, simply cannot see whether it is chicken dung or not. If 10000 is a piece of mud, would it not be picked up in vain, and it would be safer to smell it.

Since you can’t see clearly, why not wait until dawn before going to pick up chicken dung outside? This naturally involves the issue of competition. In the era when Japanese pirates invaded China, there were too many poor people. Everyone ’s land needed chicken manure in order to increase food production. Therefore, the people who picked chicken manure were Very many, every household has a need to pick up chicken manure. If you pick up chicken manure after dawn, you may not be able to pick up anything. In order to pick up the most chicken manure, you can only get up earlier than others, only People who pick up chicken manure early can pick up chicken manure, which is also the most efficient way.

Because in the daytime, there are many children who have nothing to do to pick up chicken manure, and the chicken manure under the big tree of other people is pulled by the chickens of other people. It caused conflicts, and these chickens were pulled during the night. When you pick them up in the early morning, they will not be discovered by others, and it will not be easy to cause conflicts. Is this a kind of theft?

At that time, the chickens stayed overnight in the trees at the door of the house. Later, some people felt that their chickens were all picked up by others, and some of them lost money, so they built a chicken nest, so that their chicken dung No one can steal it.
