Lu Jia also wanted to return to Luoyang as soon as possible. After all, although there were many gains from this mission, there were also troubles.

He needs to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to report these matters to His Majesty truthfully, and then decide what to do.

Lu Jia also nodded and said he would leave tomorrow, and then did not mention the matter again.

At this time, Chen Hua was also a little confused.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have blown him so harshly, but this time I blew him away.

I want to know more about things in the Western Regions, but it seems there is no chance.

Of course, although Lu Jia only has the status of envoy, his rank is higher than that of Chen Hua.

Lu Jia nodded, and Chen Hua could only cooperate.

"Envoy Lu, if the mission leaves tomorrow, there may be pressure on logistics and so on. We can only provide some military rations for the envoy Lu to satisfy his hunger!" Chen Hua said.

Lu Jia was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, and asked doubtfully: "What is the difference between this military ration and materials?"

For Lu Jia, there is no difference at all?

In his impression, aren't these all grains?

Wouldn’t it be enough to just let people leave the warehouse, load it into a truck and take it away?

What?

Does Chen Hua still want to help him peel off his skin?

Although this is well-intentioned, the results are not necessarily good.

In order to facilitate storage, no matter where the grain is, the skin is not peeled. Generally, the skin is peeled as much as you eat.

Otherwise, why would farmers be so busy every day?

Basically, I start peeling grains after breakfast, and after half a day of work, I can basically only feed the family for one day.

Peeling grains is also a tiring job. If you do it for several months, you will definitely want to die.

"Um... Lu Jia didn't know something. Our Han army's rations have been upgraded..." Chen Hua then realized that Lu Jia had been on the mission for nearly four years and didn't know anything about these things.

The upgrade of military rations was only a matter of last year. Lu Jia was still in the Western Regions at that time. How could anyone know this?

"Upgrade?" Lu Jia was confused again. What has this big man been doing in the past few years?

It has only been less than four years, and it actually feels so strange to me.

"Yes, Marquis Lunshi improved the farming methods and changed the traditional farming model. His Majesty ordered that part of the land be cultivated according to Marquis Lunshi's farming methods, that is, plowing in autumn and plowing in spring. With this kind of cultivation, a piece of land can be cultivated twice a year.

Well, this newly upgraded military ration is from the past." Chen Hua explained.

"Come on? Is this thing edible?" Lu Jia expressed disbelief. This thing that even a fool would not eat is now being used as military rations? What's going on?

"The envoys from the land didn't know. Of course they can eat it, and it's more delicious than grains. However, the amount of cultivation is not too large now, and there is no way to satisfy the people's casual food, so they can only use it to make military rations first. The troops need to travel long distances.

When marching or performing a mission that lasts for more than five days, you will take this cake with you. It does not take up much space, but it can keep your stomach full." Chen Hua explained with a smile.

Originally, I was going to say that I will not be hungry, but the emperor previously said that I am not hungry. Although the name has been changed, there are some things that you should abide by even if they are changed.

Chen Hua immediately asked someone to fetch some military rations.

Hearing is not as good as seeing, and seeing is not as good as experiencing.

No matter how much I say, it’s better to let Lu Jia and others taste it for themselves.

However, when the army rations arrived, everyone, not just Lu Jia, was confused.

A round cake that is bigger than your face does not feel heavy in your hand.

But his dryness is absolutely disappointing.

'Bang...bang...bang...'

Lu Jia took it and knocked on several cases. The power gradually increased each time, and the feedback from the cases was also very real.

The roaring cases failed to break this piece of cake made of origin.

"Chief Chen, are you sure this is military rations?" Lu Jia asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Of course this is military ration. Don't be fooled by its appearance. This kind of cake can be stored in a dry environment for two to three months after being made. Even in normal times, it can be stored for one month.

Not bad.”

"The reason why it can be stored for so long is that it is hard and there is no moisture in it, so it is naturally not prone to mold and deterioration."

"Eating is also very simple. If you have enough time, just break off a small piece and eat it with water. If you are short of time, just throw it into your mouth, chew it a few times, take a sip of water and then drink it."

"Although its taste is not the best, its effect is absolutely beyond imagination."

"But it's a bit unlucky for Envoy Lu to come. The military rations are divided into cakes and meat cakes. There happens to be no meat cakes now. If Envoy Lu is not in a hurry, he can rest for another day. I will have people rush to make a batch tomorrow.

When the time comes, Lu Envoy will take it with him to eat on the road."

Chen Hua said calmly.

The taste of this stuff is indeed not that good. Chen Hua has also eaten it, but when he stayed in Wuwei, he usually wouldn't touch it.

In order to ensure that the storage time is long enough, it is baked over low heat during production.

It is easy to scorch over high fire, so you can only use low fire and bake it for a long time to dry it out.

Also, although people with bad teeth can eat it, it is recommended to soak it thoroughly in water before eating it. It is best not to eat it like young people do, as it may cause trouble...

Lu Jia began to taste this new military ration according to Chen Hua's instructions.

First, I took out a piece, stuck it in the water, and then put it in my mouth.

At first, you can still hear a clicking sound when chewing, but as the teeth chew, the water-stained area begins to play a role.

Although it still feels a little dry, it is no longer hard and hard to swallow.

And when you enter the mouth, you can even taste a slight salty taste, which is obviously salt added.

The ancients usually believed that as long as the intake of salt was ensured, one's physical strength would not be affected.

This perception is actually wrong, but it is not completely wrong.

It is not just salt that ensures physical strength, but salt is just an indispensable necessity.

Similarly, if it is used as short-term emergency rations, this is obviously appropriate.

And there is another kind of meat pie as a supplement, so some worries can be put aside now.

In the end, this reception did not last until too late because Lu Jia and others had to leave early tomorrow morning.

Chen Hua wanted to entertain these guests with wine, but unfortunately, he didn't have any wine here.

There are new buildings waiting to be built everywhere. It is obviously inappropriate to put a lot of wine in Wuweitun at this time.

However, he also wrote to His Majesty a few months ago, hoping to prepare a batch of wine to comfort the soldiers and the people who moved their families to Wuwei County.

This first year has been very difficult for everyone, and the conditions are extremely difficult. If we can get the attention of the court, people's hearts will be warm.

Chen Hua has not yet received a reply from the court, so he does not know whether this wish can be realized.

On the other hand, for most people in the mission, it is destined to be another sleepless night.

Especially for Kuntu, in the two days since he entered the Han Dynasty, each day has brought a new round of impact on his knowledge.

The three views were ruthlessly torn to pieces, then reorganized, and then torn into pieces again.

The power of the Han Dynasty has long exceeded his knowledge.

Although I heard Lu Jia bragging a lot on the way here, I had heard it a thousand times, so it was better to take a look for myself.

The reality is that this is the situation. This is the first year that Wuwei County was established, but in just the first year, the Han Dynasty moved more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

Although their house still looks very simple now, for some reason, Kuntu always feels that when he comes back, this place will definitely not look like this.

The next morning, the mission set off as scheduled.

This time, the mission's burden was relieved a lot. The food that used to be heavy was now replaced by bread.

According to Chen Hua, they will spend the next two days in the wild.

You won't enter Lingju County until the third day.

Once you get supplies somewhere, you no longer need to worry about supplies.

Chen Hua didn't say the specific reason, and there was no need to say it.

"Ambassador Lu, why did Governor Chen say that we don't have to worry about supplies when we arrive at Lingju in three days? Did he mean..." Kuntu asked in confusion, like a curious baby, always having something in his heart.

Ten thousand whys.

"What? Can you not be petty and narrow-minded? Fortunately, you are also the prince of Wusun. What are you doing? After arriving at Lingju, it will take a little more than a day to walk back to Jincheng. Jincheng is mine.

When you come out, you can go to the border of Han Dynasty from now on. As long as you don't stop and go, you can basically enter one county in a day. Even if it's not easy, you can rest in a village." Lu Jia pointed angrily.

Kuntu taught him a lesson: The prince is not like a prince, and he doesn't want to show off at all.

Even if you don't know about this kind of thing, can't you let your subordinates ask?

You really have suffered so much, how can you teach this guy to speak Luoyang dialect?
