The ancients loved to carve names on things in their homes.
Xiao Han knew this.
But he has never discovered that anything that comes from Sanyuan County will probably have a small character "Xiao" on it, expressing its origin to the world.
Of course, if you want to engrave words, just engrave them.
After all, it’s just a word, it doesn’t count. There are so many people named Xiao in the world!
However, now this simple character "Xiao" has fallen into the hands of Yun Dingxing, who was born in military equipment!
He could guess its approximate origin just by passing it through his mind!
Yun Dingxing is not a good person, never has been!
He personally killed his son-in-law Yang Yong, the brother of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang and the former Crown Prince!
He immediately switched to Yang Guang's disciples.
From then on, he killed his daughter and his grandson. He took great pleasure in doing such cold-blooded things!
Xiao Han had seen this person in a history book, but what puzzled him at the time was:
This person can almost be said to be despised by thousands of people! But wherever he goes, he seems to enjoy it!
Let’s take a look at his “great achievements”!
As the father-in-law of Yang Yong, he tricked his good son-in-law to death! And then he did it himself, causing the bloodline of the former Sui prince to be cut off!
He served as the leader of the Ordnance Department for Yang Guang. In order to increase his authority, he kept encouraging Yang Guang to fight!
As a result, the three expeditions against Goguryeo failed, Yang Guang was dragged to death, and his country was destroyed.
Seeing Yu Wenhua and Regicide seize the throne, he was the first to go to him to express his loyalty. However, this ruthless man was not as good as the first two. He died within two years of taking the throne!
If you follow a lord like this, you will die as a lone star of the lord.
In the end, he lived in Wang Shichong's place, but miraculously became the Minister of the Ministry of Industry again! It can be said that he enjoyed all the wealth and glory in his life!
In addition, Xiao Han also knew that this old guy was the most active in forcing Yang Tongchan to give up to Wang Shichong!
Later, in order to please Wang Shichong, he personally and Wang Renze strangled the poor little emperor to death, leaving behind him a mournful cry of "I wish I could never return to the imperial family."
This is a guy who is as fierce as a hungry wolf and as vicious as a viper. If you had known earlier, you would be targeted by him!
Xiao Han would definitely rush back to Sanyuan County without saying a word! He would knock the guy who was carving random words on the ground and beat him up! The beating made him tremble every time he saw a carving knife...
But it's a pity that Xiao Han doesn't have the magical power of Wei Pu Prophet.
Just when Zheng Guo's spies were out in force, looking for information about him.
But Xiao Han still stayed in Luokou warehouse honestly, guarding the sea of food!
What does it feel like for a mouse to fall into a rice vat? This is how Xiao Han feels now!
He once thought that he was a person who had seen the world after all!
But it wasn't until today that Xiao Han knew how different the numbers in his imagination were from the real thing!
After a busy morning, he has finished sorting out the accounts.
Just looking at the accounts alone, Xiao Han was stunned.
There are three thousand cellars in the surrounding area of twenty miles!
Each cellar is more than ten meters wide and deep, and can store eight thousand kilograms of grain!
This number means that if the Luokou warehouse is full, it can hold 24 million jin of grain. When converted into units of later generations, it is nearly 3 billion jin!
Three billion catties? What is this concept? Xiao Han can't think of it anymore! No wonder Wang Shichong is sure that he can supply all of Luoyang for ten years just by relying on Luokou warehouse.
This is definitely not bragging!
After finishing the account books, Xiao Han hurriedly took a few bites of rice, then eagerly grabbed Xiaodong and started checking cellar after cellar.
I walked past several half-full cellars at [Youyou Reading www.uutxt.info], and in front of me was a huge cellar the size of a swimming pool, filled with food!
Looking at the golden wheat in front of me, it is almost overflowing.
Xiao Han shamelessly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, then turned his head sharply and said viciously to Xiaodong, who was also embarrassed:
"Don't even think about jumping in! If you dare to jump in, you will eat the food alone tonight!"
When Xiaodong heard this, he trembled violently and quickly retracted his stretched out foot. He really wanted to jump in and swim a few laps in this sea of food just now...
There is no way, my family has been a farmer for several lifetimes! Xiaodong has no resistance to so much food.
"Master Hou... I can't finish the food in this warehouse in ten lifetimes!" Xiaodong knelt down, picked up a palm full of food, and said with a grimace.
Xiao Han took a deep breath on the side, and the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of food.
"If you can't finish eating, cut your belly open and stuff it inside!"
"My little belly can't be filled very much..."
Xiaodong rolled his eyes helplessly, threw the grain in his palm into the grain pile, then approached Xiao Han and said, "Master Hou, do you think we need to move this grain away? Isn't it unsafe to leave it there?"
"
"Move? Where? Move to your house?" Xiao Han glared at Xiaodong angrily!
This idiot speaks without thinking. If you want to move a few thousand kilograms or tens of thousands kilograms, just move it. But now it is hundreds of millions of kilograms! How to move it? Who will move it?
If it could be moved, Wang Shichong would have moved the grain back to Luoyang City long ago.
Now Xiao Han finally understood why Wang Shichong didn't move the food. It wasn't that he was stupid, it was just... too much...
This is food! It’s not sand, just find a place and throw it there casually!
This thing is naturally afraid of the sun, moisture, insects, fire, and even a little harsh, even birds and mice have to be on guard against it!
If Wang Shichong really moved them all back to Luoyang, then more than half of the food would be spoiled in a year! What is the supply for ten years? Just dream!
The Hui Luocang in front of Xiao Han seemed casual and simple.
But if you study it carefully, you will find that everything about it contains profound meaning!
Let's talk about the location first. It is next to the Luo River and the Yellow River is also below it. It is most convenient for ship transportation and so on.
Furthermore, the landscape here is all made of hard yellow soil, which is prone to moisture and collapse. Even mice don’t like to dig holes in such places!
Of course, there is the most important point!
All the granaries here are built underground, none of them stand above the ground!
Doing this will not only increase storage capacity.
It can also protect food as much as possible from threats such as fires!
With this storage method, even if someone sets fire to the food, they will only be able to burn the top layer at most. As for the food in the pit, they are not afraid of fire at all!
As for issues such as moisture in these pits, it seems that skilled craftsmen have already considered them.
The inner walls of all pits are burned with fire for several days, and then coated with thick plaster mud. Finally, wooden boards are laid outside the plaster mud and wrapped with straw mats, and finally the grain can be loaded!
(Luokou Cang was indeed the largest granary in the world at that time, and the numbers written above are basically consistent with historical records, and its ruins were also excavated in later generations.
However, there are doubts about the food stored in it. One said that Wang Shichong didn't have much left in his hands. Another said that the food in it was supplied to the Tang Dynasty until the tenth year of Zhenguan.)
