Chapter 4098 Progress
The next day, when Liu Bei and his army left, Huan Zhi not only prepared morning meals, but also prepared a lot of sugar. In Huan Zhi's words, they only produced some sugar here and prepared a pack for everyone.
As the same goes, in addition to being a flavoring agent, sugar is also a very important war preparation material. The veterans also understand this. Therefore, after Huan Zhi took out the sugar that had been packed, these veterans did not refuse and put it directly into their arms.
"Good job." When Liu Bei was leaving, he patted Huan Zhi on the shoulder and said these four words. Huan Zhi was so excited, with a feeling of hard work for so many years without wasting. Lianlian said that he had not done well enough and would continue to reclaim land and build a plantation next year.
"Eat less candy and be careful that your teeth are gone." Chen Xi said casually as he passed by.
These days, candy is a war preparation material. Even children from wealthy families rarely experience tooth decay when they eat candy. However, Huan Zhi is different. To put it bluntly, Huan Zhi is a sugar factory. Although his body is not distorted, Chen Xi still thinks he has to remind him of his teeth.
Huan Zhi was slightly embarrassed. This guy was neither greedy nor lustful. His only hobby was sugar. When he first ate sugar, he became addicted.
In addition, Chen Xi always believes that eating this thing is the right thing to do, just like the chef trying the taste before the cook comes out of the pot. This is the right thing to do, not to mention that in such a large factory, there is a fear that someone will not be able to eat it, so Chen Xi has always put it casually in this regard.
Just looking at Huan Zhi's teeth, Chen Xi felt that he still had to take care of it occasionally.
After Chen Xi and Liu Bei left here, Huan Zhi quickly ate some sugar and suppressed his shock. It was impossible to eat less, so he could only survive by eating this.
"Will eating too much sugar be bad for teeth?" Liu Bei said strangely.
"Yes, so I'd better eat less. In fact, theoretically speaking, it's impossible for anyone to eat so much sugar these days, so I haven't mentioned this, but eating what I make at home is the only way to eat it at home." Chen Xi said casually.
This is indeed an unexpected event. Chen Xi never thought of such a thing before.
"How much sugar will be bad for your teeth that day." Liu Bei asked in confusion.
"It looks like three or four taels." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"I think I forgot to warn Huan Zhi that guy before." Liu Bei said with a dark face.
The supply of sugar as a strategic material is like this. It would be fine before sugar is made. After the sugar is available, the military will give you half a spoonful of sugar in a standard meal, which is only about 15 grams of sugar. This is already a very high standard.
"Isn't it normal for those who make sugar to eat sugar?" Chen Xi said with a smile. "At least you dare to eat it. If you make something, you don't dare to eat it. Isn't that a bigger problem? The maker likes to eat what he makes very much, and the quality is definitely the best he can make, and it is constantly innovating."
"Besides, I can only eat two war-prepared sugar in a day. Look at the ranches in the north, the latest news. Daijun Ranch now kills ten cows every day, because Liu Ru, the manager of Daijun Ranch, only eats a small piece of the back of the cow every day." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Liu Bei's eyelids twitched. After a long time, he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"Do you feel extravagant?" Chen Xi asked with a smile. He actually knew why Liu Ru sent a material review report and directly hit Chang'an, saying that he was extremely angry and wanted to eat ten cows every day. To put it bluntly, it was just the pain in Liu Ru's ninja himself, turning grief and anger into appetite.
This guy is an official fan. If he had spoken out before, it would have been 2,000 shi, but in the end, it was for the sake of the country and himself that he gave up applying for the job and continued to manage the ranch in Dai County.
Liu Bei shook his head. He had been to the Beidi Ranch and went with Chen Xi. So Liu Bei knew very well what the situation was. To put it too much, Chen Xi accounted for one-third of the contribution to the establishment of the Ranch. Those technicians appointed as the chief manager of the Ranch can also account for one-third. Jiang Qi and Liu Ru are the best among them.
In addition, Liu Ru has always performed very well, so Liu Bei naturally thought that there might be some strange reasons.
"Although there is a reason, it is indeed killing ten people every day." Chen Xi said with a smile, "But this is not a problem. In my opinion, they are qualified to use these materials. The quantitative material loss of these personnel is acceptable as long as it is clearly reported and does not exceed a certain range. Huan Zhi did not exceed the limit. I remind him just to avoid losing his teeth."
Unlike what Liu Bei thought about Chen Xi, who was warning Huan Zhi not to cross the line, Chen Xi simply felt that Huan Zhi would eat his teeth sooner or later, so he would eat less and avoid becoming a toothless person.
"In a reasonable range, there is actually no need to pursue it." Chen Xi said solemnly, "This era is moving forward, and certain issues cannot be viewed from the previous perspective. The sugar that Huan Zhi eats and the cow that Liu Ru eats are all within the allowable range."
"That's it." Liu Bei was silent for a while and nodded. Since Chen Xi said that, Liu Bei was inclined to say nothing wrong with what Chen Xi said. After all, no one would provoke Chen Xi in terms of internal affairs. Chen Xi has repeatedly proved his strength.
"Who is the next county?" Chen Xi saw Liu Bei understand, and naturally changed the topic, and Liu Bei had no intention of asking questions again.
"The next thing is to take a boat at the ferry, take Nanshui to Linchen County, and then you will reach Jiaozhi County." Liu Bei explained, "Speaking of this, you did the arrangements along the way, don't you even know?"
"Although I did it, I really didn't pay attention to these counties and counties that were too detailed." Chen Xi smiled and replied, "Is Linchen County? I'm going to take a boat again."
Chen Xi did not resist taking a boat. Anyway, Chen Xi was not seasick, but Chen Xi was not seasick, which does not mean that others were not seasick. No matter how much you melt, seasickness on board the boat depends on your personal situation. Unfortunately, the invincible Sun Er had never taken a boat in his life. When he crossed the Yangtze River Bridge and entered Jingnan, some counties needed to take a boat, Sun Er discovered for the first time that he was not invincible.
In fact, it was not only Sun Er, but there were too many seasick northerners, and most of the main forces recruited by Liu Bei came from the north, so the proportion of seasickness was really high.
Of course, there are adaptive big men who can adapt to it by relying on their adaptability and resisting it a few times. The unlucky ones are those veterans who do not adaptability. Of course, there are two types of veterans who do not adaptability. For example, Jiang Guang, take a boat? I am walking on the water!
As for the Wei, who had never seen Dahe in Youzhou in his whole life, and had never taken a boat, he couldn't stand steadily when he got on the boat for the first time. When Wu Yu kicked off the boat, his terrifying strength could not be even exerted in his entire life, which was so miserable.
In short, there are many veterans in the north who hate taking a boat. Every time they say they are going to the ferry to take a boat, some veterans strongly refuse. If I don’t take a boat, can I follow along the river? I will follow the boat on the water. Don’t let me take a boat?
Chen Xi refused the first time, but later Chen Xi found that letting these people find a way is more reliable than taking a boat. After taking a boat, Jiang Guang's combat power is less than half as good as before. It's better to let such people run on the water by themselves, anyway, the gods can hold on.
As for whether there is a boat that doesn't take, follow the boat along the river, whether the physical strength can keep up, etc., these are not a problem for the gods. Many veterans from the north really chased the boat and ran on the shore for a day. Of course, there are also boats here that are against the current, but this group of people really ran for a day without taking the stop. This physical strength strip is actually very terrible.
Therefore, when Chen Xi set off the boat, he asked what boats were there and what were not available, and then notified the arrival time. These people would appear at the destination when the time came, and even occasionally brought some strange things.
"The ferry in front was blocked by a large number of dragons. The leader of the dragon was a body with internal energy. Please wait for two days before we finish cleaning the dragon." Just as Chen Xi and others were about to take a boat to Linchen County, the local yamen runners came to report.
These days, crocodiles are not only not protected animals, but also have some tendencies to flood. In fact, the southern part of the Central Plains is also very wide and sparsely populated. There are incidents of crocodiles occupying rivers from time to time, so sometimes when the waterways are used, it is inevitable that they need to clean up crocodiles.
It is obvious that the Nanshui was blocked by crocodile this time, and it will take a certain amount of time for the yamen runners to clean it up, especially the leader is an internal energy that leaves the body. An Guang's yamen runners also need some effort to kill the crocodile, and even accidentally suffer casualties.
Speaking of the internal energy-ext-body beasts in the Han Dynasty, there is no clustering and no sociology. Therefore, the IQ is average and relatively easy to deal with. For example, large siege crossbows are extremely difficult to move, and the construction cost is super expensive, but the power is extremely high.
This kind of thing is quite easy to deal with beasts with internal energy leaving the body, because beasts with internal energy leaving the body are relatively large and easy to aim, which is also the main way for the Han Dynasty to clean up local inflexible beasts.
Of course, if you want to rely on this kind of thing to deal with tigers, you will dream. The sensitivity of cats is really outrageous.
