Chapter 214 Name and Vessel
Chapter 214 Name and Vessel
Perhaps considering that the soil deep inside is more likely to support the building, both the lord's main house and the detached warehouse have a basement level.
However, the detached warehouse only has one floor above ground.
The warehouse is over 40 meters long from north to south, about 30 meters wide, and nearly 5 meters high, much taller than the main house.
The vast majority of supplies are stored in this warehouse.
The ground floor was piled with weapons and equipment, iron ingots, cloth, loose wool, fur, horse harness, tools, feed, lime, pottery, candles, pickles, dried fruit, herbs, animal fat, coarse salt, wood, empty barrels and frames, and a small amount of grain.
The basement floor is piled with more expensive and heavier goods such as ale, wine, mead, wheat, barley, rye, oats, beans, cured meat, and smoked meat.
Li Mosi could count the things on the ground.
If you wanted to see and calculate all those things underground with your own eyes, you couldn't finish looking at them in a day!
Li Mosi was also forced into a corner.
He directly opened the [Leshan Water] app and looked at the cross-sectional diagram.
By looking at the cross-sectional view shown on the [Leshan Water] map, he roughly confirmed what was in each pile of boxes and whether they were full. Then he multiplied the approximate weight of different grains in the same volume on a piece of paper.
Incidentally, he also used [Leshan Water] to check the warehouse in the fortress.
By multiplying and adding, he got a rough estimate.
As for the supplies stored in the fortress, cellar, and warehouse, there were about 350 tons of wheat, almost 1700 tons of rye and barley combined, about 320 tons of oats, and about 170 tons of various beans.
That's almost enough to feed the entire territory for a year!
And this is only the staple food!
The total amount of cured, smoked, or air-dried pork, fish, beef, and sausages is nearly 110 tons!
There are more than 20 tons of cheese and butter!
There are over 7 tons of animal oil alone!
There are also more than a dozen barrels of honey.
Among alcoholic beverages, ale alone accounts for over 100,000 liters, while wine and mead combined account for about half that amount.
There are approximately 50,000 to 60,000 crossbow bolts, and more than 200 sets of crossbows and their associated stringing and maintenance tools.
There are twelve sets of complete chainmail with iron plates, and more than two hundred sets of leather armor and studded leather armor.
There were more than 500 spears, and even more exaggeratedly, more than 50 heavy spears.
There were also more than sixty melee weapons such as iron swords.
There are over a thousand bolts of various kinds of wool cloth, more than a ton of refined salt, and over ten tons of coarse salt.
The total amount of refined iron, shaped into spheres or ingots, was approximately 23 tons, along with about 200 cubic meters of processed and dried wood, and over 60 cubic meters of lime.
There are more than 600 finished pottery pieces of various sizes, including pottery jars, vats, kettles, and oil lamps.
Hay, feed, clay, stone, bricks, and other materials that are not afraid of wind and rain are not stored in one place, so Li Mosi simply didn't bother to calculate it.
Anyway, the smallest volume is at least sixty cubic meters, and the largest is over two hundred.
The three warehouses together contained more than 300 wool blankets, more than 40 complete fur pelts, and about three tons of candles made from animal oil.
The individual weights of herbs and spices are too light for Li Moss to calculate precisely.
Anyway, the volume of herbs was about forty large wooden crates, and the spices could fill several large boxes.
Jewelry is too fragmented, and its value is related to its processing, so Li Mosi simply ignored it.
Fortunately, gold and silver coins, as well as other metals stored in ingots or spheres, are not difficult to calculate.
Gold coins may seem few, but they are quite heavy.
Li Mosi never expected that this thing could actually calculate a weight of nearly 100 kilograms.
The size and weight of the silver coin were somewhat within his comprehension.
The total is approximately one ton.
Finally, there were more than 600 kilograms of copper, more than 500 kilograms of lead, and more than 100 kilograms of tin.
The supplies in all the warehouses have finally been roughly inventoried.
Li Mosi felt her head buzzing.
"Uh—um!"
He casually tossed the ink block aside and stretched lazily.
"Oh dear."
Li Mosi looked down at the Xuan paper again, and took the opportunity to stretch her shoulders and neck.
At this moment, in addition to the names, total quantities, and distribution of various materials, the Xuan paper also has many vertical multiplication formulas printed on the edges.
After reviewing his work, he nodded in satisfaction.
Hearing the three breathing sounds around him, Li Mosi looked up again at Zi Yi, Zi An, and Haji Sheng who were surrounding him.
Ziyi and Zian looked at him, while only Hajisheng was still reading the contents of the paper.
Ta-da.
Li Mosi tapped the total amount of grain on the Xuan paper twice with her index finger.
"This grain is enough to feed the people for a year."
Zi Yi and Zi An stared blankly for a moment, then slowly nodded twice.
"This...I..."
Zi'an stammered "I...I..." several times, but couldn't utter a word.
There's so much food here?!
They not only have enough supplies now, they have a lot more than they need!
Zi Yi had anticipated this, and that wasn't what he cared about.
He reached out and pointed to the vertical columns.
"Master, this is..."
Hagi Saint suddenly spoke.
"Why can your algorithm and numbers directly produce the result?"
All three of them, master and disciples, looked at her.
Li Mosi's eyes were full of doubt.
"What's the point of calculating if you can't get a result?"
Has Haki Saint gone mad again?
"no."
The saintess frowned and drew several symbols in the air with her finger.
"Even if you can verbally state the result, shouldn't it be written like this or that?"
"What kind of what?"
Zi'an was completely baffled by her.
"What are you talking about?"
Zi Yi was also stunned.
"Ugh."
Li Mosi kept her eyes tightly closed.
He remembered.
The local system for recording numbers is similar to that of Roman numerals.
While one can arrive at a result verbally, writing it down is a completely different matter.
For example, the number "1342" may not sound different, but it is written as an addition and subtraction problem.
要先把代表着「1000」和「100」的符号加起来,再用代表「50」的符号减去代表「10」的符号,最后加上代表「2」的符号。
However, this is only a local algorithm.
He didn't expect the Vatican to use a similar algorithm.
Li Mosi was too lazy to say anything more to her.
"Tell me, isn't mine easier to use?"
"Um?"
The saintess frowned subconsciously.
Are we to admit that this craftsman's arithmetic method is better than the calculation method that the Vatican has used for ten thousand years?
But it does seem to be easier to use.
"Um."
Zian looked at Haji Saint, then at Li Mosi.
She knew her former teacher was even more formidable.
But what exactly are they talking about?
Seeing that Hagi Saint had shut up, Zi Yi continued to speak.
"Master, is this some kind of multiplication?"
He recognized those numbers, and he knew the multiplication table and symbols.
But this was the first time he had ever seen this method of calculation.
"right."
Li Mosi nodded.
"This is an expression used only for multiplication of two-digit numbers and above."
With the multiplication table in place, single-digit numbers don't need to be written out in vertical format.
He said this while glancing at his two disciples.
Judging from their complexion, they seemed to be in much better spirits.
It's time to get down to business.
Li Mosi asked that question again.
"Have you thought of any problems yet?"
"Um……"
Zi'an scratched the bear ears on his head.
It's obvious she hasn't figured it out yet.
Zi Yi managed to squeeze it out.
"Master, after thinking it over, I think I only have three questions."
"There isn't enough time. There aren't suitable leaders. The people don't trust us."
Li Mosi nodded.
Although it's similar to what I said at the beginning, at least I've identified the problem.
Seeing that he nodded, Zi Yi continued speaking.
"Should we send out Aison, Tritan, and Calbin to control the territory through them?"
"no."
Li Mosi immediately rejected the idea.
"You two remember this: 'Only your reputation and your tools should not be given to others.'"
