Li Longji refused to eat. He was just asking.
"What kind of crops do the people mainly feed their poultry?" Li Longji knew that there were not enough locusts. Chickens, ducks, and geese all eat grass?
"Old millet is given, and the rice husks are ground and mixed in. When there is little grass in Luoyang in winter, new chicks are not hatched."
Li Yi understood the situation. There was not enough grain for poultry to eat, and poultry grew slowly.
Eggs were eaten by people, and people ate fat and protein, but the consumption of carbohydrates was small.
It was very complicated to calculate with pure data. It involved the human body's nutrient intake, not just eating until full.
When raising chickens, even if people saved the food to feed the chickens, they would still consume more food than if they did not raise poultry.
The difference was that they did not raise poultry and pigs. The ordinary people were thin and weak, and their faces were sickly. They were a classic example of malnutrition.
Now, their faces were rosy, the men were muscular, and the women were plump. The number of children who died of illness had decreased greatly.
"In summer, because there is more grass and vegetables, the consumption of food is balanced. Poultry and pigs eat vegetables to grow meat, and when people eat vegetables … they can also replenish some calories."
Li Yi mentioned the conversion of food. The conversion rate of poultry to vegetables was higher than that of people.
Li Longji had learned about this before, "The increase of the foreign population will help the consumption of local poultry and eggs. Have you planned properly to store them locally and transport them from other places?"
"The main and secondary foods are safe. The capital has a lot of staple foods and can be transported to replenish them. The same goes for the non-staple foods. Ships will be dispatched in winter for fish from Haizhou.
The gully from Luoyang Palace to the Yellow River in the north will be reclaimed when there is enough manpower to repair the bridge.
Some will be planted with soil protection crops, some will be planted with economic forests, and the rest will be converted into fields and terraced fields. "
Li Yi gave a general plan. At the same time, other than buildings, there were terraced fields. Further north was the factory area.
Now, there were few residents and even fewer fields. Most of it was' primitive 'woodland.
There were also tigers, wolves, bears, leopards, and other animals.
Since the bridge was being repaired, it was better not to repair it.
"Have the arrangements been made for the southwest barbarians to go to Bohai Sea?" Li Longji put aside his worries about Henan and pointed to the northeast.
The telegraph was sent to the shore where they were supposed to be. There was still time for the people to send the telegram. There were also ships that were anchored at sea.
…
"I'm not leaving today. The sky is gloomy and the wind is cold. It's going to snow again."
In the snowy forest in the northeast, Li Endong looked at the time and sky and decided to set up camp in advance.
Because of the local people, they still had to walk for two days.
The number of additional teams increased again. Two new tribes came with their families.
The tribes that joined later were only moved when they saw how the people who joined earlier were like. Clearly, everyone was living the same life.
Suddenly the neighbor came in a horse-drawn sleigh, threw away a lot of things, and put on warm clothes and new shoes.
When the baby was taken out from a leather pouch, there were no black marks on it and it was very clean.
She then looked at her child, who was sniffing from time to time with his nose running.
"Is life so good with the people of the Tang dynasty?" Count me in. I'll take my clansmen to the Tang dynasty.
Due to the delay, he had to change the shoes for the two tribes and look for the grass again.
He burned the ashes of plants, boiled the water, and soaked the skins of the wild beasts he hunted. After that, he took them out to dry in the winter. They were all frozen solid.
They needed to be processed when they arrived at the place. On the way back, everyone should have better warm clothes.
The people of the Li Family Zhuangzi made the decision and the others obeyed. There was no need to dig trenches to set up tents.
The six tribes were separated in the middle to avoid running back and forth at night.
For example, if they fell in love with a man or woman from another tribe. Life was so hard, they would be happy if they could.
The southwestern barbarians were responsible for patrolling and keeping watch. They no longer regarded themselves as mountain people from the southwest.
In their eyes, these tribes were uncivilized. At least they could write a few words of the Tang dynasty.
They were captives, but they could also be called slaves.
What was wrong with slaves? How could the slaves of the Li Family Zhuangzi be the same as the slaves of other tribes?
Who had seen the children of slaves wearing beautiful clothes and carrying small school bags to school? Ours was like that.
The tents were set up, the bonfire was lit, and the meat was stewed. The dried mushrooms and wood ears on the trees were also thrown in.
These wood ears didn't need to be dried anymore. They had already dried on the wood.
In addition, the soldiers used shovels to clean the snow around the trees. Sometimes they could find mushrooms.
Of course, they could also find the holes where snakes hibernated, so they had to be careful.
Some grass had a thin layer of ice, but it still grew tenaciously.
Li Endong and the others flipped through the atlas to identify and command. Dongzhu told them what would appear in the wilderness in the northeast in winter and what they looked like.
Even if it was snowy, they could still dig out food if they wanted to eat. Plus, they could hunt, so they wouldn't starve to death.
For example, if they found a wild hazelnut bush, there would be fallen hazelnuts and worms in the hazelnuts. They could eat them together with the worms.
There was also no lack of elm trees. They could peel the bark and eat it.
Look for pine trees. Even if it was Pinus tabulaeformis, the pine nuts in some big pine trees could be dug out and eaten.
It would be even better if they encountered a river or a snow-covered water bubble. There were fish in the river, and loaches could often be dug out from the water bubble.
They had to be careful when digging. If there were loaches, there would be leeches.
The locals didn't know the words of the Tang dynasty, but their eyes lit up when they saw the colorful pictures. What a good book!
The new team threw firewood into the bonfire. Most of them were men. The women wanted to work, but the men didn't allow them.
Because they washed their hands with soap and applied hand cream, what if they rubbed it off?
With the old lady who was not dead working, no one stopped them.
When the children didn't work, they took care of their hands. They put their hands in the leather protector, which was warmer than their hands.
The leather protector was a cylinder sewn with fur. Two hands and part of the arms could be put in it. It was warmer to hold both hands inside.
If a rope was put on both ends, it could be rolled up to the arms. Once the rope was tightened, it wouldn't fall off.
When sleeping, something could be stuffed inside and it could be used as a pillow. One end of the leather protector was tied with a rope and it became a pocket.
"I hope the snow won't be too heavy. Otherwise, we can't find the wild vegetables under the roots to eat."
Li Enxi took out the rice and distributed it to others. He looked at the darkening sky and said.
The rice was cooked. After steaming, it would be dry and hard. It wouldn't go bad even after a few years.
When eating, it was soaked in hot water and soup.
If they didn't eat rice, they had fried noodles and oiled tea noodles. They had high calories and hard compressed biscuits.
They didn't bring a pole, so it was better to eat oiled tea noodles. Anyway, they hadn't traveled for long, so the oiled tea noodles wouldn't go bad.
"Have you finished sweeping the snow at the stables? Tomorrow, we should let them walk in the snow again. They can't freeze their feet when they rest. "
Li Enbei said as he went to where the horses were. He was still worried.
When the horses felt safe and the environment was comfortable, they would lie on their sides to sleep. Now that they couldn't lie down, they had to stand.
During the day, they found hay buried in the snow with a little tip. They had to clean the snow and cut the grass. In the middle of the night, they had to feed the horses.
They couldn't let the horses eat snow, even if they could.
They melted the snow and added a little salt to replenish the electrolytes for the horses.
There were even stir-fried bean powder for the horses that were in a bad state to eat at any time.
