Chapter 435 The Sixth Battalion, [Pottery Camp]

After looking at the entire camp, the various parts were clearly divided, including the combat barracks, prison camp, civilian camp, and open spaces such as the training ground.

When it was getting dark, the fishing team came back, and the fishing team came back to change people.

Because the campsite was fixed, there was nothing to do during the day, so the fishing team netted fish for the whole day in a river ditch a mile away.

Li Mengxi didn't know how much fish he caught. Anyway, he saw people from the fishing camp pulling a cart back, and the baskets on the cart were full of fish.

Mingdy spent a long time building a new kiln and fired a lot of them, and burned four to five hundred Mingdy arrowheads.

There was still a shortage of Ming Dy the day before yesterday. More than two hundred Ming Dy were burned last night, but today there is an overflow.

The function of gunshots is similar to that in police movies, when a group of people are fighting and making noise, the sudden sound of gunshots is used to intimidate people and deter the troops from retreating.

Therefore, the chime must sound.

Li Mengxi was still annoyed by having to keep an eye on each one to test the pottery pots, so he simply went to find a bow and a few arrow shafts and let the potters test them themselves.

Keep the loud ones and throw away the quiet ones.

Because he was not sure how much reserve Mingdi would need, Li Mengxi could not stop the production of Mingdi.

Calculated based on fifty cavalry, in each pursuit battle, each of the fifty cavalry will produce four dynasties, and a battle will consume 200 dynasties.

This does not include the number of arrows recovered. Two hundred arrows are enough to fight several battles if they are shot out and picked up again.

Therefore, Mingdi is based on the base number of two hundred, and the base number of ten is roughly enough.

In other words, two thousand dynasties were enough to last until the end of the Yellow Turban War.

Mingdy arrowheads are very small and do not take up much space when fired. Anyway, they are temporarily stationed in camp. There is no need to march anymore. They can be used all day and night. In one day and night, at least 500 Mingdy arrows can be fired, and at most three or four days.

, is enough to produce all the quantities.

I didn't expect that the production requirements for pottery were so low. I dug some soil in the wild to build a kiln, picked up some branches, and kneaded some embryos with yellow mud. No other materials or tools were needed, and it could be produced directly on the spot.

Thinking about it, pottery is a mature technology in primitive times, and primitive people didn't have anything.

After the army relayed straw sandals, tree baskets, rainproof backpacks, carts, torch holders, bowls, chopsticks, fire flags and other items that could be produced with the army, Li Mengxi realized that there was another category of items that could also be produced - pottery.

Now you can produce pottery when you set up camp.

When marching, pottery can even be fired every day.

Every time we set up camp, we dig soil and build the kiln with mud, knead the clay and knead the embryos. From dusk to night, the kiln and embryos are ready, and then we add firewood for the fire. At least one or two kilns can be fired in one night.

A large amount of manpower in the army is not being used. The manpower is abundant. If you can produce something, why not produce it.

Li Mengxi had the idea of ​​building a new battalion.

In addition to the carpenters' camp, the fishing camp, the butchers' camp, the doctors' camp, and the fifth camp that raised poultry, the sixth camp was the pottery-making camp.

The carpenters who do odd jobs in the carpenter camp are constantly making bowls and chopsticks every day, but even though they are busy, up to now, there are more than 10,000 people in the army, and they still have not reached the point where everyone has a bowl to eat.

What is missing most is not the bowl, but the pot for boiling medicine.

Hundreds of prisoners were captured the day before yesterday. When the military doctors treated the prisoners in the evening, they distributed a lot of medicine. Although the medicine was given, it was extremely difficult to prepare the medicine.

Li Mengxi communicated with the potter for a while, and the general idea was that the army was currently short of bowls, urns for cooking rice and water, and pots for boiling medicine. Therefore, a separate battalion was set up to specialize in making pottery.

Even if you don’t do much, you can always make up for it.

The carpenter camp can also make bowls and chopsticks, but forget about the bowls.

The same cannot be said for medicine jars. The carpenter camp cannot chisel a medicine jar out of wood.

Therefore, Li Mengxi said that after the potters had finished burning two thousand Mingdy pots, they would start making medicine jars.

According to the standards of the carpenter's camp, the potter's camp also rewards grain, with ten kilograms of grain distributed once every ten days.

When the potters heard that they had grain, they all looked happy.

The elder of the potters pondered for a moment and said, "Master, if you ask me to make the medicine jar, it can be made without making it."

Let me tell you, if we heat a larger and deeper pottery bowl, add some water to the bowl, throw in the herbs, and put the bowl on high heat, the medicine can be boiled.

The big bowl can be used to brew medicine and eat, so it saves one."

Li Mengxi's eyes widened, this is a clever method!

Li Mengxi had little life experience, and he simply believed that to make medicine, you must use a medicine pot. Without a medicine pot, you can't make medicine.

But in fact, as the old potter said, there is no medicine jar that can be used just like a bowl.

Now that we are in the military, there is no point in making a complicated real medicine jar with a big belly and a small mouth. The medicine jar is not easy to use for drinking.

The bowl can be compatible with the medicine jar, but the medicine jar is not compatible with the bowl.

Li Mengxi looked at the old potter and smiled, "I have to make it clear to you that there is a rule in the potter's camp. Anyone who comes up with any good tips will be rewarded with food.

For example, just now, I said that I wanted to burn a pot of medicine. Uncle, you said that a big bowl can also be used to boil medicine. After you said it, I understood that it is just a bowl. The bowl burns quickly and is easy to cook.

How wonderful."

"Twenty kilograms of grain as a reward! The old man will come with me later to get the grain."

The objects produced by the potter's camp were determined, and there was only one - a large bowl with a deep rim.

The large pottery bowl can be used as a bowl, a medicine jar, a drinking cup, a lunch box for leftover rice, and a versatile utensil.

According to the experience of setting up a fishing camp and a butcher camp, for every new battalion, a cart needs to be transferred to help the newly formed team to run in.

I took the potters to the carpentry camp and just finished making a new car, so I handed the car over to a few potters.

Li Mengxi repeatedly told him that if he has any good ideas in the future, he must tell them.

Because of this episode, Li Mengxi learned another piece of useful knowledge.

[There is no need to carry too many medicine jars in the army. A large bowl with a deep rim can also be used to boil medicine.

Fill the bowl halfway with water, then add the herbs, and place the bowl around the fire. If the fire is strong and there is little water in the bowl, the water will dry up in a while, but the medicinal properties have not yet been fully separated. There is no need to remove the bowl at this time, just add more water and pour it into the bowl. The water will dry out again.

, add water again, do this several times, the medicine is good.

The substitution relationship between medicine jars and bowls is a small problem, but Li Mengxi realized a big problem.

Brainstorming is used very well in the Carpenter Camp. It can be said that the current efficiency and sound structure of the Carpenter Camp are the result of pooling the wisdom of the craftsmen.

From Lu Li, Li Mengxi learned that the most important wood for making carts was dry wood for wheel hubs, and there were not many qualified wood in the army, so he sent a caravan to buy wood.

The good methods that carpenters have come up with include, but are not limited to, first, if the ground is uneven and planing wood cannot be done quickly on the ground, it would be nice to have a door panel. Then the workbench is available and the door panel is purchased.

Second, when the cart is turned over and buckled onto the ground, the bottom of the cart is flat and can also be used as a workbench.

Third, although the bottom of the cart can plan wood, there are not enough carts. The craftsman business keeps producing pallet carts, but there are not enough carts. Oh, I get it... The pallet carts are all made and distributed to other places. This leads to the introduction of pallet carts.

The problem of allocating weights is that the craftsman camp is given priority, the convoy camp is second, the women and children camp is next, and then the fishing camp and massacre camp...

The fourth suggestion is that one person can pull the cart and the other person can do some small carpentry work on the cart to make full use of the day time.

etc.

The carpenter's camp is becoming more efficient, its production capacity is increasing day by day, and it is thriving.

But it seems that except for the Carpenter Camp, they forgot to let other battalions also come up with ideas, and also guided other battalions to exert their subjective initiative, leading to self-construction and strength.

The fishermen in the fishing camp have been out fishing for so many days, and no one has made a single suggestion. All improvements were discovered by Li Mengxi.

The Butcher Camp has not been established for a long time, and similarly, no suggestions have been given back.

The same is true for camps that raise chickens and ducks.

If it hadn't been for the words of the experienced old potter this time, Li Mengxi would not have realized this problem. He would not have realized that although each camp was established based on the craftsman camp as a template, it was far different from the craftsman camp.

The feedback from all over the craftsman camp is good. The carpenters all know that good ideas can be exchanged for food. Everyone is accustomed to paying attention to everything and using their brains for everything. But the current atmosphere of the craftsman camp is the result of long-term cultivation.

The other camps are missing a Luli.
