In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the society was turbulent and the people's livelihood could not be guaranteed. Therefore, many insurgents emerged in various places, all wanting to overthrow the brutal rule of the Sui Dynasty. Among them, the Wagang Army was the most combative among the many uprising teams. A unit, after Li Mi became the leader of the Wagang Army, made up his mind to attack Hui Luocang at that time.
After capturing and returning to Luocang, Li Mi opened the warehouse to give food to many victims, so he gained more support from the people and his team grew stronger. Later, with the strength of the Wagang Army, Li Mi directly returned to Luo. Cang Zhan is his own.

Later, Li Mi was frustrated by Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong because of a wrong strategic deployment. To escape, the return to Luocang at this time was occupied by Wang Shichong. Until 621 AD, Li Shimin led the troops to trap Wang Shichong in Luoyang city. Wang Shichong was defeated by Li Shimin, and finally was forced to surrender. He returned to Luocang and became Li Shimin's territory.

Why are all the people trying their best to get back to Luocang? What is going back to Luocang? When it comes to the builders who returned to Luocang, most people may not think that it is actually a faint monarch in history: Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. This is another magnificent project besides Yang Guang's construction of the Grand Canal.
After Emperor Sui Yang ascended the throne, he chose Luoyang as his capital. In order to ensure sufficient food and grass, he did not hesitate to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to build many large-scale granaries. Huiluo Cang was one of them because he had Convenient water transportation, back to Luocang and other granaries were filled with grain, which also provided sufficient supply for the Sui Dynasty army to fight abroad.

Luoyang, as the historical granary site, took more than eight years to complete the excavation. The Sui Dynasty granary was in 2004. According to the data obtained by the archaeologists, the scale of these granaries is very large, the total amount of food stored in them is huge, and the food storage technology is even more perfect. Such structure and construction ability also Now experts are very shocked. The location back to Luoyang is North Qili in Luoyang. It was the largest granary built by Emperor Sui Yang at that time and also had the largest reserves. Its length from east to west is about 1,000 meters, and its width from north to south is 355 meters. Its size is amazing.
And the layout of the entire Huiluocang is very neat and orderly. It was quite remarkable that people had such avant-garde architectural concepts in that era.

The entire Huiluo warehouse is composed of 710 warehouses, each with a radius of 5 meters , The height is about 10 meters, a rough estimate can store 500,000 catties of grain, based on this scale, the current Luocang can store more than 350 million catties of grain, how huge this number was at that time, so at that time The Huiluo Cang is also known as the No. 1 warehouse in the world. In addition to the incredible scale of the return to Luocang, what shocked the experts even more was the method of returning to Luocang to store food. So how did the ancients store food?
has a detailed record in the book "Nongshu", "The husband's hole is a cellar, which can be counted as small as hundreds of dendrobium, shilling firewood thorns, burning the soil anxiously, Then Zhou took the chaff and stably stored the millet inside." . After the experts' research on Huiluo Cang, it was found that Huiluo Cang also adopted this special method of storing grain, and it is more refined, which is divided into these steps.

First, choose the most suitable construction location. The location of the construction of Luocang is not random, but is located on the gentle slope of Manshan Mountain outside Luoyang City, whether it is the thickness of the soil or the drainageThe abilities are very good, and the soil here is very suitable for silo, because the high viscosity can withstand shaping, and it lasts for a long time, not easy to collapse.
And there is a convenient condition to build the place back to Luocang, that is, it is close to the canal, and the transportation is very convenient. Therefore, the grain can be collected from all directions and stored here, and it can be delivered in time when it is transported out. .

Second, Huiluo Cang pays attention to a lot of scientific knowledge when constructing. When the Huiluo warehouse was constructed, a lot of thorngrass was used on the bottom and walls of the warehouse. After the thorngrass is compacted, it will be ignited. This will greatly remove the moisture in the Huiluo warehouse. , To ensure the dryness of the entire Huiluo warehouse, so that when the grain is stored, it is not easy to get damp.
In addition, because the temperature of the soil layer is very high after igniting the thornweed, the pests in the soil layer can also be killed, which ensures that the grain is free from pest erosion during storage.
After doing this, the wall should be painted with a very thick green plaster, about 20 cm, just to achieve a good sealing effect, not only to prevent moisture in the warehouse, but also to water on the ground The leakage can kill two birds with one stone.
This is not over yet. Finally, thick chaff should be spread on the laid green plaster, and then covered with moisture-proof items such as straw mats to ensure maximum protection from moisture. After the grain is shipped to fill the granary, it is still sealed with green paste, so that the whole process of grain storage is down.

After such a precise operation, the air in the granary is naturally dry, and there are no pests. In this way, the greatest quality assurance can be obtained when storing grain, and it can be stored for a long time without deterioration. It is said that during the excavation of these granaries, archaeologists found piles of grain in Hanjiacang near Huiluo Cang. After so many years of historical changes, although all these grains have now become carbides, every The shape of the grains is still well preserved and can be clearly identified. Therefore, as the best granary back to Luocang, experts infer that the grain stored in the back to Luocang naturally reached this level or even better. The comprehensiveness and scientific nature of food technology cannot be underestimated.

In the Sui Dynasty, when the manpower was low and all aspects were underdeveloped, the ancients could think of this The perfect method of storing grain, and it solved the most fundamental moisture-proof and insect-proof problems in the process of grain storage. Such advanced ability shows how admirable the wisdom of ancient people is. It is said that the people rely on food as their heaven. Whether it is ordinary three meals a day or front-line supplies in military operations, they cannot do without food. Therefore, having such a perfect grain storage warehouse is naturally a treasure that all forces want to get. .

This is also a good illustration of why all the people are vying to return to Luocang. They all want to own it, but who wouldn't want such a good granary? But on the other hand, it also shows that it is precisely the degree of importance the leaders of the feudal society paid to the food issue that this magnificent building and well-considered return to Luocang became a miracle of the ages.
