My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Well, I was just typing, and suddenly I saw many book friends commenting that the ancients ate too much salt, posting historical materials to correct some book friends' concepts!

"Guan Zi - King of the Sea"

Duke Huan said, "What is the correct salt policy?"

Guanzi said to him: "A family of ten eats salt for ten people, and a family of one hundred eats salt for a hundred people. At the end of the month, the eldest son's salt is five liters and half, the eldest daughter's salt is three liters and half, and my son's salt is two liters and half. .”

According to the actual measurement of unearthed cultural relics, one liter of Qi is about 205 milliliters today, and less than half means one-third. The bulk density of salt is divided into thick and thin.

One liter of salt equals about 248 grams today.

The lunar eclipse of an adult strong man is 5.3 liters, which is about 43 grams per day on average.

27 grams for women, 16 grams for children, 27 grams per person per day for a family of five, and about [-] kg for a family of five for a whole month.

----

Of course, this is the Spring and Autumn Period, and Qi State is close to the sea, let's look at the Han Dynasty.

----

"Juyanhan Jane"

Juyan is also known as one of the four major discoveries of ancient documents in modern times. A total of tens of thousands of bamboo slips were unearthed, which recorded many things needed by the historians.

Ju Yan: "There are 11 officials and soldiers, three buckets and three liters of salt."

Ju Yan: [Salt entry and exit book: two stones, one bucket and three liters of salt are taken out, and 71 soldiers are given food. 】

One liter of Chinese is equal to 200 milliliters. Calculated by the cube of the above-mentioned coarse salt, three liters of salt is 726 grams, and a solar eclipse is 24.2 grams. The answer given in the book is not standard because there is no standard answer.

Here is a lunar eclipse of 726 grams for an adult man, and the salt intake of a family of five must be greater than 3000 grams.

A numerical value is written in the book, which can be regarded as specifically pointing out that the protagonist in it only vaguely remembers a number, because it is difficult to give a conclusion in the history of research on this thing.

As for why I ate so much salt in ancient times, my personal introduction, if I am wrong, please point it out!

First, the lack of ancient oil and flavoring agents,

Second, the ancient coarse salt contained impurities,

Third, the labor force in ancient times was much greater than today's. The sun rises and the sun sets and rests. Anyone who has weeded in summer knows that the clothes are covered with salt spots after weeding.

The salt in the body will be evaporated!

Therefore, the older generation has a stronger taste in heavy labor, because people have no salt and fatigue, so they must supplement salt. The best thing to do after work is to drink salt water, but there was no such thing in ancient times.

So, don’t use today to fool the ancients, life is better now, they are all big fat boys, there are countless kinds of seasonings, and oil, meat, etc. can be eaten as much as they want,

At that time, there was no oil, no meat, no various seasonings, no cooking, all relying on salt, it was different.

Now let you dig the ground with a shovel and a shovel, and weed it in the summer. There is no so-called seasoning, no meat, no oil and water, just to see how much salt you eat.

I reckon you could put salt straight in your mouth!

Of course, the main purpose of this book is to correct the common sense that some readers are used to, and I don’t want to mislead you. The historical facts are serious, but it is also thankless.

I just hope that you will give some support and encouragement, and point out any places that do not conform to historical facts at any time. After all, no one can say everything right.

Okay, stop talking,

It's past four o'clock in the morning, so hurry up and go to bed, and I have to go to work tomorrow!There are monthly tickets, recommended tickets, and rich brothers can join in the show?

It's really not easy to write realistically, please give some support,

Good night, old Beibi!

Chapter 54

=================================

Chapter 54

Autumn, mid-August!

Danyang, at Niuzhu Ferry.

Huang Gai was standing on the bank of the river and looking north with his sword. The river was sparkling, but the key was that it was empty, so anxious that he paced back and forth.

"Hey, what about this person? Didn't Gongjin say that the people on the other side will come over in a few days? I've been guarding for three days, and I haven't seen a single hair!"

Huang Gai's teeth itched in anger.

"General, could it be that there are salt dealers smuggling salt! Or someone from Xuzhou is secretly selling salt for personal gain!"

Deng Dang, the general in the side, told him.

"Xuzhou?" Huang Gai squinted his eyes, and when he was about to speak, a boat rowed across the river in the distance, and it was the person he sent to investigate the reality.

After a long time, the fine work went ashore.

He took out the salt bag and shouted urgently: "General, every village in the north of the Yangtze River has table salt, and it is refined salt. It is said that it was refined by Chu Feng, and it is named Snowflake Salt."

With that said, he handed over the salt bag.

Huang Gai took a look and was taken aback for a moment. The salt was as fine as river sand without any impurities. Even the royal family might not be able to use this kind of salt.

"You said this kind of salt is for the common people?"

"Well, every family is like this. It is said that this is low-grade snowflake salt, and there are better ones that are middle-grade and high-grade. Non-nobility and wealthy people cannot buy it."

Xi Zuo sighed, this kind of refined salt is actually eaten by the common people, the key point is that it is the worst, so how much better is the best?Would not it be.

"Is there something better?" Huang Gai was stunned for a moment,

Then, he narrowed his pupils slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's bad, it's bad, you stay here and guard, and I'll go to meet the lord."

Immediately, he went back to the village with his personal guards and rode away on horseback.

----

Every day, noon.

To the west of Danyang, outside Lingyang city.

After Huang Gai arrived, after a while, Sun Ce withdrew from the battlefield and came back.

"Gong Fu, why did you come here from Niuzhu all of a sudden? Could it be that the residents of Jiangbei have already begun to move south?" Sun Ce said with a hearty smile while pressing his sword.

Behind him, Zhou Yu smiled lightly,

His expression showed a strategizing color.

"My lord, why move! No one in Jiangbei has moved south. They won't move now, and they won't move in the future." Huang Gai sighed.

"No one moved south? Why?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were all surprised and asked curiously.

"My lord, let's see what this is."

Huang Gai took out the salt bag from his waist, showing an angry but helpless expression.

"Anthracene! This salt is so white and delicate?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, with a very surprised expression: "Gong Fu, where did this come from!"

"In the homes of the people in Jiangbei, the people in Jiangbei now eat this kind of refined salt, and according to the details, this kind of refined salt is only low-grade salt, and there is still high-grade refined salt,"

"This time, I, Jiangdong, are probably shooting myself in the foot with a rock. Instead of curbing Chu Feng's development, I let him develop such refined salt, eh!"

The more Huang Gai thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kept sighing.

Originally under Chu Feng's rule, at least 30 to [-] people were provided with salt by them. This was a very considerable income, which could be used to subsidize the military expenses of boats and horses.

Well now, it's all gone.

Zhou Yu: "???"

Sun Ce: "???"

"Can the common people eat this kind of refined salt?" Zhou Yu felt that his brain was not enough. It was like the emperor drove a Mercedes-Benz and the common people already drove a Ferrari.

Zhou Yu frowned, pinched some salt and tasted it.

He was inexplicably worried, he thought more than Huang Gai, and immediately said: "My lord, this salt is far better than my Jiangdong sea salt, if it flows into the territory, I'm afraid."

"You mean that Chu Feng wants to retaliate?" Sun Ce snorted coldly, a little displeased.

"Very likely, my lord, you should immediately order to stop the merchants on the river, prohibit merchants from traveling, and set up multiple passes in the territory to prevent salt traders from entering,"

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and said urgently.

He really underestimated Chu Feng, and turned an army with a tooth for a tooth, but he was curious about how to refine such refined salt.

"Public reply, the western front is tight, and this matter is up to you to handle. Remember, do everything you can to prevent this kind of refined salt from flowing into Soochow County."

Sun Ce nodded and arranged directly.

"No!" Huang Gai nodded, the matter was urgent, he simply drank some water and changed to a horse before turning back again.

"My lord, the western front needs to be fought quickly, and Zulang must be defeated urgently, as well as bandits such as Tai Shici from Jing County. We must quickly take down Yuzhang just in case!"

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

This Chu Feng is probably even more difficult to deal with than he thought. This time, in the secret fight, he can be considered a loser, and he is at a disadvantage. Yuzhang must be taken down quickly.

----

A few days later,

Shouchun, discuss matters in the mansion.

Yan Xiang showed joy and reported: "My lord, once the Snowflake Salt was released, countless aristocratic families rushed to buy it. Now, it is widely circulated in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou."

"With this snowflake salt, we can make countless profits. It is estimated that within three years, our Shouchun will be full of grain and armor."

Chu Feng slowly put down the document, raised his head and said, "How is the progress in Jiangdong?"

"This...my lord, the Jiangdong River has been cut off, and Huang Gai is in charge of it. Merchant exchanges between the two places are prohibited. There are very few snowflake salts sold privately to Jiangdong."

Yan Xiang replied.

"Hmph, what a guts, how dare you cut off the river directly and ban merchants from coming and going? He, Sun Ce, is still attacking Zulang, does he really think I dare not come to the city?"

Chu Feng slapped the table and said coldly.

"Master, the new attachments have not been long, and the Sun family has prestige in the Jianghuai area, so it is not appropriate to use troops right now!" Yan Xiang quickly advised.

"Don't worry, I have a measure!"

"The most important thing right now is the ownership of Zhijiang Quan and Yuzhang County. It is undoubtedly stupid to start a war with Sun Ce at this time, but it does not mean that he has no worries."

Chu Feng said coldly.

"Zhang Xun and Liang Gang listen to the order, and you two will lead all the boatmen out of Chaohu Lake and into the Yangtze River, and practice on the river every day! In addition, set up a strong camp at the mouth of the Chaohu Lake."

"No!" The two clasped their fists in response.

"Lejiu and Li Feng listen to the order. You two will lead [-] soldiers to Liyang to train soldiers and horses, and confront Huang Gai from the north to the south with Niuzhu!"

Chu Feng said again.

"No!" The two clasped their fists in response.

"In addition, let me tell you that Ji Ling will lead [-] infantry out of Wancheng and cross the south of the Yangtze River, and Qiao Rui will lead [-] soldiers as vanguards, leaving Chaohu Lake and going down."

"As for me, I will personally lead an army of more than ten thousand into Liyang, attack Niuzhu, and take Wu County directly!" Chu Feng said in a deep voice, playing tricks, it depends on who is more anxious.

"My lord, with this bluff, you are trying to force Sun Ce to return to the army!" Lu Su narrowed his eyes slightly.

"No, no, the battle in Danyang is heating up right now, he won't withdraw troops from Danyang, and the purpose of this move is just to make him misjudge, I want to take a chestnut out of the fire and take down Yuzhang!"

Chu Feng said with a sneer.

It is unwise to fight across the river without taking Yuzhang down.

"But my lord, the situation in Yuzhang is still unclear, not to mention, our army does not have large warships, how can we capture Yuzhang?" Liu Ye asked with a frown.

"Warships? Liu Biao has a lot of them. I will set off for Jingzhou tomorrow and borrow a boat from him!"

Chu Feng smiled lightly.

"My lord, is there a way to let Liu Biao borrow the boat?" Lu Su asked in surprise seeing Chu Feng's confidence.

"Yesterday I intercepted a handwritten letter from Sun Ce to Cao Cao. With it, I hope Liu Biao won't shirk it!"
