The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

What He Chunfang reported was what Liu Sheng expected.

Now Liu Sheng has 154 people including him.

第一次毛家集招揽四户，共14人；收服西分岭10户，共30人；第二次毛家集招揽20户，共50人；当日俘虏并收服交了投名状的白役（流民）6人；杀毛诚顺后又收俘虏53人。

Construction is going on on both sides of the space gate. Liu Sheng's daily ration for each strong man is about two kilograms. The old, weak, women and children eat less, but it is at least one kilogram.

When farming was busy in the Ming Dynasty, a strong man would eat about two kilograms of grain every day.

Liu Sheng's food arrangement seems to be similar to that of busy farming. In fact, with more oil and salt, and occasionally hunting animals to add meat and fish, everyone's living standards are better than those of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

But it also meant rapid depletion of food.

Based on the current average consumption of 1.5 kilograms of grain per person per day, 154 people will consume 231 kilograms of grain per day, which is about 1.2 shi (this article sets the grain as 188 kilograms per shi, and does not break down the various situations).

Liu Sheng went to Maojiaji twice and bought a total of 15 shi of grain. Even counting from the day when he killed Mao Chengshun and took many prisoners (the third day of May), on the fifth or sixth day, he had consumed more than shi of grain.

In fact, before the anti-inspection department encircled and suppressed them, dozens of people in Liujiazhai had already consumed three or four kilos of food.

"How much food is left now?" Liu Sheng looked at He Chunfang and asked.

He Chunfang said calmly but a little ashamedly: "I haven't counted it carefully, but there are about five or six stones left in the rice and noodles."

This number is similar to Liu Sheng's estimate.

He immediately said: "The food in the cave is no longer supplied in the stockade, so the daily rations of everyone in the stockade do not need to be reduced and will remain the same as before.

I'm going out today to borrow some food and then find a way to get more food. "

Hearing this, He Chunfang thought that Liu Shengzhen knew some big landowner and could borrow grain, so she relaxed and resigned.

Liu Sheng looked around again, and not far from the village, he found Wang Laowu who was digging stones with a few young men.

Seeing Wang Laowu moving swiftly, he asked, "Is your leg so agile?"

Wang Laowu patted the stubby thigh wound and said with a smile: "Thanks to my boss's medical skills and elixir, the scab on the wound on my leg started to fall off yesterday."

Wang Laowu's leg injury was originally a flesh wound, but he accidentally injured a small artery, causing the bleeding to stop.

Liu Sheng stitched him up and used a special spray that was used to treat wounds in later generations. Now more than a week has passed, and he is indeed almost better.

"Come here and rest for a while." Liu Sheng pointed to a large bluestone and motioned for Wang Laowu to sit down and chat.

"My boss, do you have something to say?" Wang Laowu was obviously much more cheerful than the two days before he was captured. "A few days ago, the officers and soldiers came, but I was injured and couldn't help. Now that I'm fine, if my boss has something to do, just let me do it. That’s it.”

Liu Sheng said: "As far as you know, are there any big landowners with a bad reputation near Tianmu Mountain who bully the countryside?"

Wang Laowu said: "There is not much fertile farmland around Tianmu Mountain, so there are no big landowners. The largest one is Ma Baihu in Dashui Pingzhai.

However, Ma Baihu's reputation is not too bad, even if it is bad. The rent charged is higher, the things sold are more expensive, and they occasionally bully outsiders. At least they are better than the Huang Papi family I killed earlier. "

Liu Sheng nodded.

Ma Jinliang had already known Li Rongguang when he hired people from Xiaoli Village to help build the village, and knew that this was a military landlord who was not too bad to his neighbors and villagers.

But Ma Jinliang is still one of the bad landlords in Liu Sheng's eyes. This can be seen from the fact that Ma Jinliang prepared to rob the glass bottle and let the scar-faced horse attack Liu's village for seven nights.

"What about Ma Baihu?" Liu Sheng asked again.

"The remaining landowners who can be considered big are all outside the boundaries of Tianmu Mountain. I don't know much about them, so I really can't say much."

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "You are very cautious."

Obviously, Wang Laowu most likely guessed which big landowner Liu Sheng wanted to take advantage of, so he was unwilling to talk nonsense and endanger the lives of good people.

As a member of the lower class, Wang Laowu was persecuted by the landlords, but he did not hate all landlords, which surprised Liu Sheng.

He patted Wang Laowu on the shoulder and said: "Stop chiseling rocks here, come with me to do something."

"Yes."

Then, Liu Sheng found six other people, Shi Jincai, who were also working.

Although these few had served as white servants in the Inspection Department, they originally handed in the certificate of surrender halfway. When the Inspection Department came to attack Liujiazhai, they also acted as swordsmen and axes, which could be regarded as gaining Liu Sheng's basic skills. trust.

Liu Sheng temporarily gave Mao Chengshun's chain armor to Wang Laowu, and temporarily gave the cloth armor to Shi Jincai. He also divided it among the other five. He peeled off the leather armor from the archers of the inspection department and wore them all inside.

Wang Laowu and Shi Jincai were equipped with steel knives and spears, and the other five were also equipped with bow knives and spears. They also asked the three who were good at shooting to carry bows and arrows, and then went to Dashui Pingzhai after lunch. .

···

in the afternoon.

It’s not past half-way (a little after two o’clock).

On the wall of Dashui Ping Zhai, at the west gate, in a shady spot, Ma Jinshui is still sitting and dozing against the wall.

Yang Kuiwu, a tall and thin man on the other side, was hungry and sleepy. Although he was still standing, he fell asleep against the wall with his arms in his arms. He didn't know what he was dreaming about. He smacked his mouth and drooled on his neck.

"Hey, Master Jun, wake up." Liu Sheng came over and shouted.

Seeing that Yang Kuiwu was still smacking his lips and showing no intention of waking up, he patted his shoulder and said, "Master, it's time to eat."

"Have a meal?!"

Yang Kuiwu woke up suddenly and stood up straight.

Immediately, he discovered that the person in front of him had three heads and six arms, and then his vision went black and he fainted.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng was a little confused.

He just patted the guard soldier on the shoulder, but he didn't use any force. Why did he faint?

Shi Jincai came over to take a look and said, "My boss, this man fainted from hunger."

After saying that, Shi Jin took off the water bag he was wearing, gave Yang Kuiwu some water, and then pinched Yang Kuiwu's chin.

Yang Kuiwu opened his eyes, but he was still dazed and struggled for a while before getting up.

Shi Jincai shook his head and sighed: "I'm so hungry that I need to feed him some rice soup to revive him."

Then he made no more moves.

When he fled south, he had seen too many people starve to death - his father, his mother-in-law, and his son all died of starvation like this.

But he didn't expect that the soldiers guarding the gates of the village could starve to death.

This Ming Dynasty deserves to die.

Just as Shi Jincai was sighing and Wang Laowu and others were watching with complicated expressions, Liu Sheng took out a blue glass (plastic) bottle from his backpack.

After opening it, I took a big sip and then smacked it in my mouth, as if savoring and nostalgic. Then he took the bottle, opened Yang Kuiwu's mouth and drank half of the bottle.

When Liu Sheng put away the bottle, Shi Jincai and the others saw that Yang Kuiwu's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and then he put his hands on the ground and got up!

Miracle medicine? !

Several people's eyes couldn't help but focus on the blue glass bottle.

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "This is salt and sugar water. If you encounter someone who is about to die of hunger in the future, you can save him like this if you have the conditions."

Immediately, Liu Sheng put away the blue bottle.

He didn't lie. The essence of this future energy drink is salt and sugar water.

Yang Kuiwu also realized at this time that he had fainted from hunger just now, and if nothing else happened, he would probably starve to death.

At this time, he felt a little more energetic and hurriedly cupped his hands to Liu Sheng and said, "Thank you so much, my benefactor, for saving your life."

Liu Sheng said: "I gave you half a bottle of sugar water. You won't last long. Go home and have something to eat."

Yang Kuiwu smiled bitterly, "If there is food at home, how can I faint from hunger?"

"Then follow us into the village and I will take you to have a nice meal."

After saying that, Liu Sheng walked towards the Walled City.

Wang Laowu and others followed.

Shi Jincai walked at the back and patted Yang Kuiwu on the shoulder, "Young man, don't starve yourself to death stupidly."

Please collect it and read it.
