Chapter 39: Returning with Hidden

Zhou Yang and Chao Cuo were very surprised and unexpected. However, this feeling of gaze was quite good, and he couldn't help but stand up: "Let's do it now!"

Anyway, Zhou Yang was determined to study new military rations. Taking this opportunity, he not only satisfied the desires of the Mo family disciples, but also asked them to help evaluate them. Why not do a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

When he heard this, Chao Cuo and the others were very happy and surrounded Zhou Yang. The kitchen of the Mo family was very large. Zhou Yang came here to teach them how to ferment. Without yeast, it was impossible to make it for the time being. It was difficult for Zhou Yang. The method of making yeast is very simple. You only need to put some noodles there and put it in a few days to ferment and then there is yeast.

At this time, the Mo family disciples did not dare to have any doubts about Zhou Yang. They did whatever he called him. After giving out the yeast, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "It will take several days to eat it in his mouth. However, we can't wait like this, we have to do something else."

"What is the Grand Marshal going to do?" A Mo family disciple asked curiously: "Does Grand Marshal want to teach us Taoism?"

Although they admire the knowledge of craftsmanship and calculation, the Taoist arts are even more mysterious, and the Mohist disciples are happy with it. The Taoist arts and Taoist arts have been a topic of China for thousands of years. The ancients had a special liking for this, and not only the Mohist disciples were eager to "get enlightenment".

After hearing their words, Zhou Yang really wanted to laugh loudly, but he couldn't laugh, so he could only hold it back and said, "I'm not hiding it from you, I have an idea, and I have to use your hands to help me realize it."

"Master, please be polite. If you have any questions, please give me instructions and we will do it." Chao Cuo spoke on behalf of the Mo family disciples, and the Mo family disciples nodded.

"I dare not give you instructions, I'm asking you for help." Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I wonder if anyone of you has ever been to the battlefield?"

"This..." The Mo family disciples were a little embarrassed. There were not many Mo family disciples who had actually been on the battlefield.

"I'm not making fun of you, but the thing I want to do is related to war." Zhou Yang glanced at him and said his intention: "On the battlefield, the soldiers ate cold and hard pots and dried meat, which will cause great damage to the stomach and intestines. If one is not good, they will get sick. I want to take this opportunity to ask you to do me a favor. First, I ask you to evaluate the military rations I made, and second, I want to ask you to make something. I want to try how long the military rations I made can last."

"Value the military rations?" The Mo family disciples had nothing to say about this. That was a good thing, who would refuse?

"What are the Grand Marshals going to do?" Chao Cuo asked.

"Boxes and jars are fine." Zhou Yang frowned and said, "It is necessary to put military rations inside and keep them for as long as possible. At least ten days and half a month."

"So long?" Liu Che was very surprised. His bright eyes were shining. His right hand clenched into a fist and praised loudly: "Brother-in-law is far-sighted! When fighting in the desert, the difficulty is not whether he can find the Huns, but the difficulty of supporting the military rations. If he dispatches hundreds of thousands of troops, he has to take dozens or millions of civilians to transport grain, which is a heavy burden for the Han Dynasty."

"If the soldiers' military rations can be preserved for a long time, the soldiers will take them with them, saving the matter of transporting food and grass." Chao Cuo took the conversation excitedly and praised loudly: "Without the drag of food and grass, the soldiers will be like the Huns, like the Huns, like the Huns, like the Huns, like the Huns. Today is in the east and tomorrow is in the west, like a shadow, which makes the Huns unable to figure out. If they gallop across the desert, they will surely defeat the Huns! The general, what a far-reaching vision!"

After the two of them said this, the Mo family disciples suddenly realized, praised Zhou Yang's grand and profound plan, and said in unison: "Don't worry, Grandmaster, let's do it now."

Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. This is a military motto. In ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, there are too many things that have to withdraw troops, and even defeat the troops. If Zhou Yang can solve this problem, the Han Dynasty's long-term combat capability will be greatly improved. This matter seems very small at first glance and does not attract attention. In fact, it is too important to the Han army.

Food is the most important thing for the people. No matter who they are, the first thing they do when they open their eyes is to eat. If there is no food, no matter how strong the Han army is, they will be powerless.

Besides, when fighting against the Huns in the desert, mobility is the first priority. Relying on transporting food and grass in the rear will limit the performance of the Han army and weaken the mobility of the Han army, because food and grass cannot be transported up, it will be useless for the Han army to rush forward.

Nowadays, the Han army can carry their own military rations and leave the camp to fight. However, the military rations they carry are not too much. It is not that there is no food, but that the shelf life is too short and can be maintained for seven or eight days, which is very good. Even the jerky pork in Guokui will be stored for so long at most.

In midsummer, the time will be shortened and it will be great to be preserved for five or six days, which greatly limits the performance of the Han army.

If the shelf life of military rations can be extended to half a month or even longer, this is extremely important for the Han army. The Han army can bring its own military rations, go around the desert and gallop freely. As for the number of war horses needed, it is not a problem for the current Han army. One person, two, three, or even more, can be used.

The problem Zhou Yang mentioned is a shortcoming of the Han army and a difficult problem in ancient wars. No matter how you praise it, it is not an exaggeration.

This matter seems small at first glance, but it is very important to think about it carefully. It is related to whether the Han Dynasty can successfully defeat the Huns. All the disciples of the Mo family agreed happily, surrounded Zhou Yang and talked about their ideas.

The Mo family disciples are worthy of being the most powerful craftsmen in the world. Their ideas are very good. After listening carefully to their ideas, Zhou Yang finally decided on the plan, made it into a box, put the military rations inside, applied yellow wax, and sealed it.

In the Han Dynasty, without vacuum technology, the quality of food was a big problem, and this was the best quality-saving technology.

"Master, according to our experience, if you eat for too long, you will turn into rot. I think these boxes should not be made too big, as long as the soldiers eat for a day." Chao Cuo's bright eyes were shining, and his eyes were bright: "Eat a box for a day and open it when you want to eat, so that the soldiers will not rot even if they have something to eat."

"Good idea!" Zhou Yang praised the high-five. Chao Cuo was Chao Cuo. Even such details can be imagined, which makes people convinced.

If you put food for ten or twenty days together and expose it to the air from the first day, it will be futile. If you put it separately day by day, it would be great, and it would be able to achieve the goal.

"Brother-in-law, the soldiers' belly is big, and the box can be divided into several sizes. Those with big belly can get large sizes, while those with small belly can get small sizes." Liu Che's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea.

"Well! The prince has a good idea!" Zhou Yang praised it.

This matter was decided, and under the leadership of Chao Cuo, the Mo family disciples began to make boxes.

Zhou Yang discovered a problem when he did this. The Han Dynasty did not have such tools. Although the Mo family disciples were amazing workers, it was difficult to make boxes that meet Zhou Yang's requirements. Zhou Yang immediately told them about the dust. After hearing this, the Mo family disciples were very excited. They made the dust first and then made the boxes.

With the planing, the box will be much more sealed, and it will not leak even if it is filled with water. Zhou Yang is very satisfied.

After trying it out, it was already two days later when a batch of boxes was made. My mother could already use it. Zhou Yang guided the Mo family disciples to make military rations. He tried to make steamed buns first. The steamed buns were soft and delicious, and they were much better than the hard pot-kick. The Mo family disciples praised Zhou Yang very much.

On the battlefield, soldiers cannot just chew steamed buns, but also need meat. If they only eat steamed buns and not meat, the soldiers' combat power will decrease in a few days and their nutrition will not keep up. Therefore, the meat will become a big problem. It is cold and hard to carry it on, which is a torture for the soldiers' stomachs.

Zhou Yang thought about it and asked the Mo family disciples to chop the meat and mix the flour to make pancakes. It has to be said that the Mo family disciples are not only extraordinary craftsmen, but also good blister chefs. The pancakes they made are soft and delicious, with a fragrance that is very attractive, and Zhou Yang is also very good.

After several tastings by Zhou Yang, the pancakes are soft and delicious, whether they are hot or cold. They are much more delicious than the previous Guokui jerky. I believe the soldiers will like them.

He did not stop there. At Zhou Yang's request, the Mo family disciples repeatedly did it until the model was set.

A large number of them were made. Zhou Yang and Mo family disciples put the pancakes in a box and sealed them. Mark them on the box, and open some of them every day after five days to detect their quality changes.

This took a long time, so Zhou Yang had no need to stay in the Mo Family General Hospital anymore and decided to go down the mountain.

Chao Cuo sent him down, leaving some people to stay, and the others followed Zhou Yang down the mountain. After these days of getting along, the Mo family disciples admired Zhou Yang so much that they could not be more important. Zhou Yang would occasionally talk about some theory of craftsmanship. If he really did something, Zhou Yang would definitely not be as good as the Mo family disciples, but when it comes to theory, the Mo family disciples could not catch up with him.

After getting along these days, the Mo family disciples have benefited a lot from Zhou Yang. Whenever Zhou Yang speaks out the theory, they feel enlightened, and it is impossible for them to not admire Zhou Yang.

Nowadays, the Mo family disciples are eager to follow Zhou Yang down the mountain and ask Zhou Yang for more knowledge. However, the Mo family general institute wants to stay behind, so they must stay people. Although those left-behind disciples are unwilling, they are still ordered.

He brought the military rations to be tested and the fresh fruits that Zhou Yangte asked for, and led the Mo family disciples to leave the Mo family's general courtyard and headed towards Chang'an.

Zhou Yang, Chao Cuo, Liu Che, and Ju Mengli were on the side of the road, looking at the winding Mo family disciples, and they were very happy. This time, Zhou Yang gained a lot and brought the Mo family disciples out of the mountain. These Mo family disciples are all amazing craftsmen. Based on them, it is not a problem to build the Han Dynasty's science and technology academy, and it will cultivate many talents. With scientists, the Han Dynasty's science and technology will be more developed, and a wonderful prospect will appear.

It has a great impact on Chinese history, and it is possible that China embarks on the road of industrialization.

As for testing military rations, there is no result yet. I believe that with the level of Mohist disciples, the shelf life will be greatly improved. If this is the case, the Han army's continuous combat capabilities will increase dramatically, and it will be easier to defeat the Huns.

The vast Mo family disciples went down the mountain, which lasted for several miles and was quite spectacular.

"Master, this is the largest out-of-mountain in this sect since the founding of our sect!" Chao Cuo looked at the Mo family disciples who were marching and sighed: "Even during the Warring States Period, disputes among the countries were everywhere and the Mo family swordsmen came out of the mountain, there was no such great movement. This was a full-length out of the nest! A full-length out of the nest!"

During the Warring States Period, the Mo family swordsmen came out of the mountain, the wind gathered and the clouds moved, and the princes looked at each other. How prosperous was that? However, there was never a thing that Mo family disciples came out like before their eyes, and Zhou Yang set a precedent for a generation.

"The ancestors know what they think of in the spring, but I don't know what they think?" Chao Cuo said with emotion.

"The establishment of the Mo family was to calm the disputes in the world. Now, the Warring States Period no longer exists. If the Mo family disciples were still living in the mountains, they would be free and happy, but they would not benefit the world, which would be contrary to the intention of the ancestor." Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Silencing the disputes and doing their best to the disciples is the original intention of the ancestor. I think that if you know Mozi in the spring, you will be very pleased!"

"You are still good at getting a bargain!" Chao Cuo has been very familiar with Zhou Yang these days, and the two have become close friends. Chao Cuo doesn't have so much concern when he talks, so he patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder with affectionately.

"I'm telling the truth!" Zhou Yang flashed at Chao Cuo, and he was quite naughty, making Chao Cuo laugh.

After laughing, the four of them joined the Mo family team and went down the mountain.

After leaving Shennong Mountain, the group headed straight for Chang'an. In the evening, they arrived in Chang'an. Chao Cuo was very moved and excited, and tears burst out from his eyes.

In the years of seclusion, Chao Cuo has not been back to Chang'an. Not only did he return to Chang'an from time to time, he also secretly gave advice to Emperor Jing. Ling Su was the messenger between him and Emperor Jing. If Emperor Jing had any difficult things, Ling Su asked Chao Cuo to come and ask him.

However, this time I came to Chang'an, it was completely different. It was to go out of the mountain. I had to go into battle again to defeat the Huns and do my best. This state of mind was completely different.

Zhou Yang understood his mood very much, and comforted him a few words of comfort, leading the Mo family disciples into the city. When he arrived at the Weiyang Palace, Liu Che ordered the soldiers to take a rest. Zhou Yang, Liu Che, Chao Cuo, and Ju Meng entered the Weiyang Palace, headed straight to Yilan Palace, and went to meet Emperor Jing.

In Yilan Palace, Emperor Jing was lying on the soft couch, sleeping quietly, and his nose was slightly breathing. Emperor Jing looked haggard and his face was sallow. Since offering the prisoner ceremony, Emperor Jing’s body has been getting worse day by day and he is very sleepy.

Empress Wang sat on the soft couch, stretched out her white jade plain hands to tidy up her messy hair for Emperor Jing, with a look of pity. Emperor Jing was not only a noble emperor, but also a kind husband. Emperor Jing looked so poor and her health was getting worse day by day, and she was anxious.

"Ah!" Queen Wang sighed lightly.

"Sir! Sir!" Emperor Jing suddenly screamed in his sleep, anxious and anxious, as if he was dreaming.

"Emperor, Master!" Queen Wang called softly.

"Sir, sir, don't leave, don't leave!" Emperor Jing sat up suddenly, hugging his arms in the air, as if he was hugging his relatives.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Queen Wang was shocked and said anxiously: "Hurry up, pass on Mr. Cang."

"Huh!" Emperor Jing sighed, opened his eyes, and said, "Don't call Mr. Cang."

"Your Majesty, you're awake." Queen Wang was busy putting on a robe for Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, you're scaring me to death."

"Empress, it's okay. I just had a dream, dreaming of Mr. " Emperor Jing looked miserable and sighed: "Why did I do this wrong in the past? I am the emperor and can completely scold Liu Bi. Why do you need to sing a sing to behead Mr. in half to the city?"

Empress Wang naturally knew that Emperor Jing remembered Chao Cuo again. Chao Cuo was a teacher, a minister, and a relative to Emperor Jing. Although Emperor Wen was the biological father of Emperor Jing, Emperor Wen was plagued by the country, and Emperor Jing did not spend much time with Emperor Wen, and he had too little time with Emperor Wen, and he had too little time with him than with Chao Cuo. His attachment to Chao Cuo is from the heart.

Although the events of the past were forced to do the general trend, Emperor Jing always felt at ease when he thought about it. Chao Cuo, such a capable minister, could not be ranked above the court. Emperor Jing asked himself, as long as he was a little tough at the time, Chao Cuo would not leave him.

"Emperor, what happened in the past..." Queen Wang said halfway, and Emperor Jing's eyes were wide open and he stared at the door. Then Emperor Jing rubbed his eyes, his eyes widened even wider.

"Your Majesty, you are..." Queen Wang was shocked.

Suddenly, Emperor Jing jumped up from the couch, rushed up like a flying man, hugged an old man in his arms, and cried bitterly: "Sir! What a sir! Woo woo!"

"Emperor!" Chao Cuo knelt on his knees, hugged Emperor Jing's legs, and burst into tears.

Emperor Jing and Chao Cuo are kings and ministers, masters and disciples, and relatives. Their relationship is very complicated. At first sight, how can they not be excited? Emperor Jing was extremely excited, his chest was ups and downs, and he hugged Chao Cuo, and tears rolled out.

Chao Cuo held Emperor Jing's legs desperately, as if he was afraid of losing his treasure. He screamed and burst into tears, and could not control himself.

Men don’t cry easily, but they are not sad! Although Emperor Jing is the emperor, he is also a human being. With someone’s emotions, how can he not be so excited that he is not as greedy as a father.

Since Zhou Yang knew Emperor Jing, he had never seen Emperor Jing cry like this. Not only did Zhou Yang not have any contempt, he was closer to Emperor Jing. This is a human being. If Emperor Jing had a stern face and had an emperor's posture all day long, who would dare to get close to him?

"Woooo!" The crying sounds of the two echoed in Yilan Hall, and it was only calmed down after a long time.

"Sir, are you still leaving?" Emperor Jing wiped his tears, and the first sentence was to find out Chao Cuo's stay or not.

"Emperor, the old minister will not leave, I will not leave!" Chao Cuo hugged Emperor Jing's thigh tightly: "The old minister came out of the mountain this time to do his best to defeat the Huns!"

"That's great!" Emperor Jing suddenly pulled Chao Cuo up, as happy as a child, and said with a smile: "Sir, we can get along day and night again! Liu Qi can listen to Mr.'s death again. Haha!"

Emperor Jing did not call me, but called himself a name, which was respect for Chao Cuo.

"Emperor, the old minister dare not!" Chao Cuo shook his head and said, "The emperor is no longer the prince of the past, but the emperor who stands tall and strong in the Han Dynasty! He is the saint of the Han Dynasty! Under the rule of the emperor, the Han Dynasty is prosperous, all industries are prosperous, the Huns flee far away, Baiyue recovered, and the Donghu pacified. Throughout history, emperors have achieved such great achievements, very few! The old minister can be the emperor's teacher, which is indeed the blessing of the old minister in his previous life!"
