Five hundred and twenty-eight oils
As a fire attack expert, Suning's fire attack level in the Tang Dynasty military circle is worthy of affirmation, maybe it is not famous now, but later, Suning led the troops to fight fire, which is also a manifestation of Suning's dedication to gunpowder weapons, fire is a double-edged sword, can kill the enemy, can also hurt oneself, can make human beings survive, but also let human beings kill themselves, without fire human beings can not survive, all fire human beings can not survive.
It is precisely because of the emergence and use of fire that primitive humans abandoned the era of Ru Mao and drank blood, and entered the period of civilization, eating raw meat and eating cooked meat can be considered as the dividing line between civilization and barbarism in a sense, although this dividing line is very vague, but it is still a dividing line.
The use of fire in warfare, is not a very unexpected thing, fire attack and water attack are the two most lethal attack methods before the arrival of the gunpowder age, or even in modern warfare, fire attack and water attack still have their place, just imagine, a heavily armed army, when walking around a certain dam, the dam exploded, overwhelming the flood swept in, even if this army is all armored army, there is no way out.
Humans can use fire and water, but they will never be able to master it.
Fire attack tactics and water attack tactics have long occupied an important position in the field of warfare, and all kinds of tactics emerge in endlessly, but they have never been able to separate themselves from water and fire, or whether they are good at using the surrounding environment to fight, is also one of the criteria for judging famous generals, Suning has not used water to fight, but his fire attack skills can be said to be very famous. Not to mention anything else, the fire burned Yin Mountain, and so far you can smell the burning breath around Yin Mountain......
And now, in Shuzhong, a large canyon, Suning's world-famous fire attack technique is about to reflect its power again, and this time the fire attack technique is relatively special, it is carried out with a new tool, this tool of fire attack, can not be extinguished with water. If this is a little tainted. If there is no professional means, there is basically no way to live, and the professional means are only mastered by Suning, and if they are used on barbaric wingmen. Wingmen don't have a chance to live.
Tong guò this battle. Suning wants to tell everyone a scientific truth - not everything can be extinguished with water if it catches fire.
Fortunately, it is the Orion of the Mountains. Every household had animal oil in stock, and after the tanks were carried in, all the warriors swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Oil is still a luxury in Datang, and they can eat oiled meals in the military university.
For this problem, Suning has also thought about it, if edible oil enters thousands of households in Datang, then Datang's food consumption can be greatly reduced, without oil and water, an average adult has to eat three or four bowls of grain or even about five bowls of grain to be full, otherwise it is like not eating, hungry panic, and modern humans eat vegetables with oil and water, and then a bowl of rice is almost enough, without oil, an adult in ancient times needed an average of eight bowls of grain for two meals a day, And in modern times, an adult only needs two bowls of food.
This is how the fourfold difference is created.
The lack of non-staple food is also one of the reasons for the shortage of a large number of grains, the situation of long-term inability to ensure food and clothing in ancient times can also be classified as the lack of non-staple food, especially the lack of oil and water, until the Song Dynasty, the commonly consumed vegetable oil does not exist zài, Zhang Qian sent to the Western Regions to bring back sesame seeds, known as flax, which can be squeezed out of oil, which is the earliest edible vegetable oil recorded in history.
But what cannot be ignored is that there is not enough food to eat, and there is not enough land and manpower to plant, so where can there be enough land and manpower to grow and produce enough sesame oil for people to eat? Sesame oil, a vegetable oil, can only be used as a luxury for a long time, and like animal oil, sesame itself is not expensive, but when it is pressed into oil, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Staple food can not guarantee the yield, in the eyes of the ancients, how to talk about the development of non-staple food? Perhaps the emperor's ministers did not notice the gap between the amount of food they needed to eat a meal and the amount of food needed by ordinary people to eat a meal, and the mass production and guaranteed supply of non-staple foods could alleviate the food crisis in a large way, and grain was not the only food.
Datang has accepted the basic grain production pattern of rice-based, supplemented by potatoes, with fertile land growing rice, and barren land planting potatoes in rotation every year to ensure that the people of Datang will not starve to death, but how much output is required? There is no shortage now, but once the population rises, a food crisis will inevitably occur, and at that time, the contradiction between low productivity and high demand will not be reconciled.
However, oil is such a very important non-staple food, but for a long time did not get people's attention, until the Song Dynasty material production of great abundance era, the richest period in Chinese history, oil this thing really into the ordinary people's homes, but the price is still not cheap, eating a meal with oil is a happy thing, oil still belongs to the exclusive use of the upper class rulers.
If there is not enough land and manpower to grow oil crops, is it feasible to rely on animal oil alone? Suning can now use soybeans to make zuò soy sauce, and there are also ways to make zuò soybean oil, but soybean oil does not exist in this period, and beans are commonly used to make tofu, how can there be oil extraction? The soybean production is not enough to make oil, and the braised dishes made from soy sauce have always been the most expensive dishes in Wei Xianju.
There is no yield, no consciousness, people are still stuck in the era of animal oil can only be eaten, sesame is ignored by many people, not regarded as an oil crop at all, and no one realizes what a great thing it is for Datang if oil enters the homes of ordinary people.
However, at this time, it is very difficult to promote the planting of the only two crops that can squeeze out edible plants in Datang, and it is not only land and manpower that are needed, but also a lot of capital investment, from the beginning of planting to the birth of edible oil, which needs to pay attention to many problems, and it is very difficult to expand production alone. Suning still needs a lot of time, and a single gunpowder will be messed up, let alone promote the cultivation of soybeans and sesame seeds.
This requires letting the facts speak for themselves.
To let Datang know what the storage of vegetable oil will bring, what kind of food revolution will it bring to Datang, how much food can be saved as savings, and prepare for the birth of more people, from a person's birth to becoming an available labor force, it will take more than ten years, and in these more than ten years. What did Datang use to raise them? Laws to encourage procreation are already being studied. A group of elites quarreled with each other, and the biggest obstacle was the lack of food reserves, and in the final analysis, there was not enough food.
After witnessing a large amount of animal oil. Suning came up with the idea of promoting vegetable oil in large quantities. Animals are limited. If you rely on animal oil to feed people, then all animals in Datang will be extinct, and vegetable oil is king.
At the same time that Niu Jinda led the army to the canyon to arrange the battlefield, and Suning led the army to make the Zuò incendiary tank. This idea is gradually perfected, a revolution belonging to vegetable oil is about to unfold, the benefits are naturally obvious, we must develop non-staple food, develop more non-staple food, whether it is sugar or oil, are non-staple food, their appearance, will also reduce the people's demand for food, the wealth of food, is the greatest guarantee of population growth, otherwise, born to starve to death, and then there is a tragedy of cannibalism.
The burning tank is made very quickly, a burning tank can be made in about a minute, in order to gain time, a batch of products is transported, and the last batch is led by Suning to rush directly to the canyon area, and after Suning arrived, Niu Jinda looked at so many clay pots, and was stunned, pulled Suning and asked: "Sanming, what are you doing?" What are so many clay pots for? We're here to fight! ”
Suning smiled: "This is what it is used to fight, didn't I say it, this is a new weapon, the best weapon to deal with the wingmen." ”
Niu Jinda said depressedly: "You want to smash the bureaucrats with clay pots? How can there be a stone that works well? Also, what's the reason for this mess of cloth? What's inside? Won't it be a bar? ”
Suning rolled his eyes: "Of course not, it's all oil." ”
Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked: "Oil?!" Where do you get so much oil? What oil is this? ”
Suning replied: "The hunters in the mountains hunt all year round, and the prey they shoot down can naturally accumulate some oil, which can be used just right, the last time I barbecued 30,000 Turks, but it was not enjoyable, this time, these 30,000 people were also roasted, it was much more beautiful!" Hey, hey, hey......" Suning's sinister smile made Niu Jinda shudder, he picked up a clay pot, and he couldn't see what military value there was other than throwing it out and smashing people.
"Sanming, fighting is not child's play, you have to know!" Niu Jinda shook his head and said, Suning was helpless, took out the fire fold from his arms, pulled out the cloth ball first, and made sure that there was not too much oil in it, so he put it back and used it with confidence.
Different from regular incendiary bottles, this kind of incendiary pot is very simple to make, if the cloth is stained with too much oil, it will burn directly when it is ignited, and the danger to the user is greater, so in order to prevent this situation, Suning can only order that when making zuò, only half of the oil in the clay pot can be filled, and it must not be fully filled, and the cloth at the mouth of the clay pot should be pulled out before use, and it can be ignited only if it is not soaked in oil, otherwise it has not burned the wingman, and he will be roasted first.
The students and the villagers swallowed their saliva, carefully pulled out the cloth ball and confirmed it repeatedly before carefully putting it back on the ground, this thing is very scary and cannot be touched......
This is the effect you want, otherwise you haven't thrown it down yet, you will be burned, it's fun, the army has enough vigilance, that's enough, Suning also looked at it, and after confirming that it was safe, he lit the cloth ball, and after the cloth ball burned, Suning threw it into the distance, and at the same time as the clay pot shattered, a fire burned, which scared Niu Jinda.
Where the oil goes, the fire will follow, Suning looked at Niu Jinda and smiled proudly, Niu Jinda showed an amazing smile, picked up a clay pot and looked left, and kept nodding: "Stinky boy, how do you have a melon seed in your head?" Can this also be figured out for you? Hehe, yes, yes, in this way, it's good to have a wingman, hahahaha!
By the way, Chengdu is very safe, let's end Jiazhou and Lingzhou at the same time, the wingmen began to set up camp, before the fight knew that we had won, rushed back, Chengdu defenders had no losses, and have followed the wingmen to come, ready to encircle, when the time comes, we have to block the exit, the entrance by the Chengdu defenders to be responsible, the exit entrance is blocked, this fire is so burning, tsk, hahaha, okay! ”
Smiling, Niu Jinda suddenly became a little worried: "Sanming, let's burn all the wingmen to death, what should we do with this captive?" These 30,000 people are all strong men, the labor force is strong, but it is much better than those old and weak women and children, Datang needs it very much, this fire is burning, isn't it a pity? (To be continued......)
