Chapter 233 is short of food

Pure text 33www.m text update speed is the best

August is the hottest time of the year in Dingjun City.

A huge convoy entered Dingjun City under the protection of 10,000 Dingxi Army. General Zhu personally welcomed him at the city gate, attracting countless people to watch.

After nearly half a year, the Shengong Hall convoy finally came from Luocheng to Dingjun City, more than two months later than Renault's plan.

Although the time spent was long, the harvest was quite satisfactory. In addition to the harvest of resources, Song Zhe broke into an immortal and became a worshiper of the Divine Works Hall. Renault felt that the biggest harvest was his understanding of Thousand Souls, which reached a new level.

As a ninth-grade warrior, with his own strength, he can actually move the tiger's teeth and easily let the tiger king go, which was originally unimaginable.

The three Hu family have very average strengths, but no matter how they are, they are also warriors who have fought with the gang and fought with the thieves and sams and wolves through life and death.

Renault can easily defeat the three of the Hu family, even if he fights hard, the Hu family can have a stronger desire to survive and a more ruthless killer. Renault only needs to pay a very small price to deal with them.

When seeing Master Lei’s methods, some people naturally disagree. The Hu family is Master Lei’s confidant, and they also play with Master Lei. Renault is not afraid that others will not believe it, so if you don’t believe it, come and try it.

The result was so wonderful, Ruan Ling, Chu Bugui, Darcy, Mo Fan, Shengxue...

All the nine-grade peaks were off the court, but Renault was overjoyed. Except for Shengxue and Renault who were stalemate for half a quarter of an hour, the rest were easily defeated, and Renault easily won all the nine-grade peaks.

Until now, Renault still did not reach the peak of the ninth grade, but felt that he was invincible under the Grandmaster.

Seeing others fighting and fighting with yourself is completely different. At the beginning, even if they fight with Huya, Renault will sweat and be so nervous.

The more times the fights are, the mentality will be different. Renault knows that this is not enough. Whether it is the Hu family, Liuyun, or Yulin, they are all their own people after all, and they are responsible for their actions. In addition, Song Zhe is staring at him not far away, so it is impossible for him to be hurt.

It is said that only between life and death can it be broken. Renault decided that we cannot be broken. Just like now, it is quite good.

Renault's practice of martial arts has nothing to do with the dream of the hero. He just wants to save his life. Even if Song Zhe showed enough loyalty, Renault still felt that his skills would not be suppressed.

At the critical moment, you still have to rely on yourself.

"General Zhu, how dare you please welcome him in person? I didn't say that you just need to sit high in the general's mansion." Renault walked out of the RV and said with a smile.

Zhu Chongjiu smiled bitterly and looked at the two masters following him. If they were not stopped, Zhu Chongjiu would have at least met a hundred miles away.

Renault came to Dingjun City with the caravan. This time, he was different. As a secret master, he passed by here. As a general of the Desert Legion, he was welcomed by a few hundred miles in person.

The secret master, it really soared into the sky.

He casually sent two masters to stop him from coming out to greet him. Zhu Chongjiu could see that these two masters were not weak, and neither of them was worse than him.

After entering the General's Mansion, the original courtyard had been cleaned up. Chu Jiayi and the female official began to clean up and place the cages. The gentleman said that if you want to stay in Dingjun City for at least half a month, you must naturally prepare your daily needs.

Zhangtan is the head of the craftsman, and it already has a bit of the meaning of a logistics supervisor. In the inner courtyard, Chu Jiayi is the general manager of the internal affairs.

"General Zhu, are there all the supplies you asked you to prepare before?" Renault asked.

"Everything is ready, ten thousand stones of dried meat, half a cow and half a sheep have been processed. But there are not enough vehicles. During this period, the craftsman camp has been built day and night, but the requirements for the vehicles you need are too high. Only masters can manufacture them in the craftsman camp. Now only 300 carts have been completed."

"In addition, the slaves you want have also collected a batch, and the combined use is about 3,000. As for whether they will escape..." Speaking of this, Zhu Chongjiu looked impatient, and Master Lei's request was too strange.

It is easy to say that Dingjun City has the most undesirable thing. Thanks to Lei Shi, the method of making meat jerky he taught is different from that in the army and can be preserved for a longer time. In this way, there is an additional financial way for the military city.

Dingjuncheng used to make jerky meat. I don’t know why the jerky meat made can be stored for up to three months, and then it will grow hair and spoil.

The shelf life of three months is quite long in Dachu. But if you want to turn jerky into money, you have to transport it to Luocheng, or even further south. The closer you are to Dingjun City, the less valuable the jerky is.

Not to mention transporting it to Luocheng and leaving Huangshakou, it will take two months to carry the gang. When the jerky is placed on the market in Dachu, it will basically expire and it will not be sold at all.

The method of Master Lei is not to directly apply salt and air-dry it, but cut it into sections, boil it in water, stir-fry it, steam it dry, and finally air-dry it. The jerky made not only tastes good, but has a shelf life of at least six months.

This was personally inspected by Zhu Chongjiu. The first batch of New Year jerky meat has been around for half a year and can still be eaten, and the taste has not changed much.

To talk about the disadvantages, it is not that there is no salt added, which is more costly and tastes too salty.

The vehicle is even more troublesome. Even if it is a thing called bearing, even if it is a smelting method written by Master Lei, it is still very difficult to make. Sun Lei, the commander of the craftsman camp, almost lost all his hair.

The bearings can only be done by the master craftsman himself, and the slow production speed is speechless. How long has it been? The five hundred large cars that Lei Shi asked for only completed more than three hundred.

Zhu Chongjiu knew that these carts were used to load jerky meat. Ten thousand stones of dried meat was needed, and it just took 500 carts.

If it is an ordinary pack cart, there is no shortage of Dingjun City. Every year, the craftsman camp will build large pack carts to supplement the army. The southwest region is vast in area. Whether it is marching and fighting or doing business, large pack carts are indispensable.

"It's okay, just use an ordinary cart to make up for it if it is not enough, and the number should be doubled." Renault was relieved. With three thousand slaves, there were no need to worry about missing coachman.

Liuyun and the people in the rain forest should be used to protect the convoy and make them the coachman. It is so aggrieved.

The original slaves basically returned to their hearts. They could not be true for a contract, but the monthly salary and dividends paid after the harvest made these slaves understand that they were really not short of money.

Even if you run away, what can you do? In the desert, even a sand thief does not live well as a coachman in the convoy, and a fool escapes.

With them here, I believe that the newly joined slaves can integrate into the fleet in a short time.

There is a shortage of people, a shortage of people you can trust. Not to mention thousands, even if you give Renault tens of thousands, he won't be too much.

Well, this is just thinking about it. Renault can't support him tens of thousands of people. If he is a human, he has to eat. The food in the convoy is almost eaten up. You can't eat green ginseng as your meal, so you can't eat enough.

In the desert, there is a big problem with the Nanzhang, that is, if you have money, you can’t spend it. No matter how exquisite the Chu coins are, they are just toys, and the most important thing is food.

Without food, no matter how many thoughts you have, you can only hold them back.

"Master Lei, the grain problem is not easy to solve. You also know that the southwest produces not much grain and lacks self-sufficiency. The amount you want is large, so there is really nothing you can do about this." Zhu Chongjiu said.

Half a year ago, Renault made a transaction request to Zhu Chongjiu through the Bird's Message, asking for 10,000 stones of dried meat, 500 carts, 1 million stones of grain, 3,000 slaves, and 10,000 war horses.

The rest are easy to say, but Zhu Chongjiu could not solve the problem. At least 30% of the money earned by the Dingxi Army every year was used to subsidize the purchase of military rations.

Transporting grain from Huangshakou to Dingjun City can make all the merchants' underwear lose all the underwear. The mainland of Dachu is also short of food and the prices soar, but compared with Dingjun City, it is much cheaper.

The problem is that the grain is heavy and it is difficult to transport it. A fleet of 500 trucks can only transport 10,000 stones of grain.

Is it a lot of ten thousand stones?

Near Dingjun City, there are millions of border residents and hundreds of thousands of troops, and one person can't get much. Therefore, Dingjun City has always been dominated by meat.

The Lei Master wants one million stones, just kidding, even if it is ten thousand stones, Zhu Chongjiu can't take it out. The amount of food transported to Dingjun City will be divided immediately. It is difficult for the Desert Legion to keep some food stored.

Dingjun City has no shortage of food, food, and plant-based food. A bowl of noodles and two cloves of garlic can be exchanged for ten times the weight of meat.

This is a regional difference. If you arrive in Luocheng, it will be the opposite. One bowl of meat can be exchanged for ten bowls of noodles.

"Besides the issue of food, if there is no, there is no." When Renault sent a message, he also wanted to try it out. He knew that Dingjun City was short of food.

"Lei Shi, should you eat the food you want yourself or to raise slaves? If you want to eat it for slaves, it is better for us to send troops to collect grain from the forty-eight countries. The green noodles there taste very bad and difficult to swallow, but they are serious food, and they all eat that thing themselves."

Renault shook his head: "No, I know Qingshi, it's too unpalatable."

Last year, Renault lived in Dingjun City for several months. Of course, he knew what green food was. It was no toughness or stickiness. When it was cooked, it was also grainy. It tasted strange and difficult to swallow.

"This time I passed by Dingjun City and left fifty cars of supplies for the general to exchange. Don't refuse. It's not easy for the Desert Legion. In recent years, the Great Chu hasn't even paid military expenses. It's up to you to yourself. It's difficult, and it's even a stop to the forty-eight countries."

Zhu Chongjiu opened his mouth, but in the end he still refused. In fact, he had enough benefits from Master Lei. He only earned tens of thousands of gold coins every year, plus new jerky meat and various minerals.

Not only was it enough for the military expenditure of the Desert Legion and the replacement of weapons and equipment, it also accumulated a large amount of smelted metal to be sent to Luocheng to help the new emperor solve the problem of insufficient coins.

Today in the southwest, life is much better, and except for being busy, everything is fine.

"Then thank Master Lei." As he said that, Zhu Chongjiu took out the map and spread it on the table.

"Lei Shi, after going to the Nanzhang, after passing Qian Dingbao, even if he left the territory of the Southwest Ding Army. Continue to go south, it is Nanzhao, Cang'er, and Jinchuan. After passing these three places, he will enter Nanzhang. The road is not peaceful, so why not bring five thousand troops with him?"
