Chapter 212 Desire of tongue
If this situation does not prove that beef will eat dead people, then these soldiers and people who have not seen meat for a long time will definitely not let go of this delicious meal. Cows that could not resist were killed with tears, and the smell of blood came out far away.
Zhang Fan on the side stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, whether to order to surround this place and burn it directly or wait a few days for the meat to stink and no one will dare to eat it."
Burning all of them directly is also a way, but the reason why a cow is precious is that its whole body is a treasure, and the meat cannot be eaten. There are also materials such as cowhide, tendons, and horns, which are all extremely useful.
Soldiers have already helped skinning and cramping. Zhu Biao asked to bring some dogs. The dogs have never eaten other meat in their life except rats. Now they will see the cows, so naturally they can't hold them anymore. The rest of the people watched. Gou Chi Huan felt distressed.
After a while, the dogs fell to the ground convulsing and died. The people were in an uproar. Zhu Biao looked at it and ordered the beef to be skinned and tendoned and destroyed on the spot. No one could eat it.
Then he led the people away. Of course, the sick beef is not so powerful. The dog was drugged. After thinking about it, Zhu Biao still didn't want to take the risk. What if the disease has an incubation period?
Of course, it doesn't matter if a few people who are not afraid of death die, but if the disease becomes contagious on a large scale after the outbreak, it will be a big deal. Now that Fengyang is resettled and relocated, too many people gather together, and it is not a joke to infect it. of.
Besides, Zhu Biao has to ensure his own safety. He can't afford to die now. No matter how he thinks about it, it is absolutely uneconomical to take such a big risk for the mere desire of talking.
It is the best way to deal with it now. The common people were afraid of the cows that died of illness, but they were tempted by the temptation of not eating beef.
However, there are many fools without brains. Zhu Biao has a deep understanding of this journey, so he has to find someone to watch him, and make sure that no one eats these dangerous things.
Walking on the road, Zhu Biao said to Xu Yungong who was behind him: "You will lead people to watch it yourself, and no one will be allowed to eat it. Destroy it as soon as possible."
The rest of the people didn't quite understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so eager, but with the accumulation of small things on the road, they had become accustomed to obeying Zhu Biao's orders, and Xu Yungong immediately took the orders and left.
Fu Zhong wiped away his tears with regret, Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Okay, I can't eat the cattle to eat sheep tonight, so kill more and make broth, so that everyone can eat meat."
The rest of the people cheered up immediately, and Zhu Biao looked to the north with his hands behind his back. With the fall of the Bei Yuan, the trade led by the Ming Dynasty had already started, and the grasslands were nothing but sheep.
But Zhu Biao doesn't like to eat mutton very much. Although he is a little embarrassed, he still likes to eat pork...
It’s a pity that there are very few people who raise pigs now. After all, pigs need to be raised in captivity, and they need to be served every day. If you want them to grow fat, you have to feed them.
And now that Emperor Zhu has won the world, although there is no decree prohibiting the slaughter of pigs, who knows, Zhu Biao will indeed rarely see people raising pigs along the way.
The pigs are not like sheep, and Mongolia does not raise them. Although there are hundreds of sheep at every turn, they are very easy to manage. As long as you find a smart dog and keep watch on that sheep, the whole flock can go away.
For a few stray sheep in the local area, finding a stone and throwing it directly can drive the sheep back, but pigs are different. Although pigs are cute and very greedy, no one has ever heard of leading pigs.
At night, a large-scale slaughter of sheep was carried out. The main supply was still soldiers. The common people didn’t get much. A village only had a few sheep, which were distributed to individuals, which meant they could drink soup and add some minced meat.
Zhu Biao took extra care of the women and children, and the young and strong gave out more big cakes, so that they could eat enough with broth. The soldiers and generals were much more luxurious, and each person shared a large piece of meat and gnawed it. no problem.
Everyone took it for granted, and the same was true of the common people. It was incredible that they could drink the broth. Zhu Biao left the camp after eating a little bit. Many people inside rarely relaxed, and Zhu Biao didn’t want to be there. with.
Walking in the camp, the soldiers happily ate the mutton, and the commoners on the other side also drank the broth happily, but the sheep consumed that night basically used up all the ones sent by the Ministry of Housing.
On the other side of the army, processed cowhide and sheepskin piled up like a mountain. Zhu Biao's purpose is also for this. It's cold, if you can't keep warm while working, the chance of getting sick is too high.
After a while, Guo Chong walked away from Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao asked casually, "How is everything over there?"
Guo Chong bowed back: "Thanks to His Highness's kindness, they all ate well, and each got a small piece of meat."
Zhu Biao smiled. If he could take care of him, he would naturally take care of him, especially for the children. Guo Chong thought about it and said: "There are also people who complain about His Highness taking extra care of those orphans and widows."
Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "They don't complain about the soldiers, but are the big heads here?"
Guo Chong also lowered his head and smiled: "They dared to be dissatisfied with the soldiers, but they couldn't get used to those women and children who did a good job but ate better than them, especially not their own children."
The two of them stopped talking, and walked together in the barracks. Liu Jin took out a white tiger-striped cloak and put it on Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao felt much warmer. He glanced at the thin Guo Chong and said to Liu Jin: "My palace There is also a sable cloak, put it on Guo Chong."
Guo Chong hurriedly bowed and declined, but Zhu Biao didn't speak, Liu Jin went back to get it, Zhu Biao walked away and stood up, Guo Chong followed behind.
Guo Chong, as the leader of the Xinke Scholars along the way, did not make any outstanding achievements, but he also made no mistakes. No matter what task was entrusted to him, he could always handle it properly. A good fighter has no great achievements. This is his skill. .
Zhu Biao still admired him very much. Although his face was unsightly, he got used to it after looking at it for a long time. After a while, Liu Jin brought the cloak, and Guo Chong bowed to Zhu Biao's back after receiving it, and then put it on. This imperial sable cloak.
It was so warm, Guo Chong instantly felt his body warm up, and his heart was even hotter. Looking at the white figure in front of him, it seemed that the night sky was much brighter.
After walking for a while, Zhu Biao asked casually: "When things are over, do you want to work in Beijing or go to another place?"
Guo Chong's eyes lit up. Since His Highness said so, it is an opportunity for him to choose. After careful consideration, he replied respectfully: "If it is possible, I would like to serve in a local area."
Zhu Biao avoided the mess at his feet who didn't know who pulled him: "How many people want to stay in Beijing to work because of connections, why do you want to go there?"
Guo Chong said: "My Ming Dynasty is full of waste, and officials are needed everywhere. Since so many people want to stay in Beijing, then I will not join in the fun. Anyway, I will serve for the Holy Majesty and His Highness everywhere."
