Lao Bao is leaving Jiaziying tomorrow, Yun Zheng has prepared an extremely sumptuous banquet to entertain him, the most important dish is a cow, killing cattle in the Zhenzong period is to be exiled, but in the Renzong Dynasty, it doesn't care much about these things, beef cattle can be eaten, but slaughtering cultivated cattle is still a taboo thing for righteous people and gentlemen.

Ploughing cattle have worked hard all their lives, and in the end they will not die well, but will be skinned and cramped, gnawing flesh and bones, this behavior makes the righteous man and gentleman despised, but Bao Zheng is not among them, all things are born to raise people, and everything should be people-first, so he does not accuse him of eating beef, but he does not eat beef.

He knows very well what kind of truth there is in this, as long as it is reasonable, such a simple dialectical law Lao Bao does not know, but he knows very well the reason for the repeated prohibition of slaughtering cattle.

In the Great Song Dynasty, a ploughing ox was worth eight yuan, which was stipulated by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and the original intention of the imperial court was to have a low price of cattle, and only in this way would such a good labor as ploughing cattle be popularized among the people.

However, the Great Song Dynasty people listed beef as the taste, the price of a pound of beef exceeded 100 yuan, and there was no market, so it created a disproportionate price between the price of beef and live cattle, and the matter of slaughtering without permission was repeatedly banned, in the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1014), the secretary of the Wailang Kong Zongmin said: "The people of Zhejiang take beef as the taste, and they are not reckless, competing for slaughter. So Song Zhenzong issued an edict saying: "In the two Zhejiang prefectures, there are slaughtered cattle for food, and they are not cooked and slaughtered by general discussion, and those who buy them for their cause do not ask about the crime." ”

Lao Bao naturally knew about these allusions, and under his command he had sentenced countless cases of slaughtering and cultivating cattle, and they were also judged according to this principle, so he forgave the people for doing this, but he did not forgive the officials for doing the same.

For the sake of a momentary appetite, he forgot about the good deeds and merits of the cow, which was flawed from a moral level, so he was a little dissatisfied with Yun Zheng when he saw the deboned and fleshed ploughing cattle hanging on the shelf.

Zhang Fangping is happy. Watching the sergeant slaughter the cow, he stood aside with his hands folded, and instructed the butcher to be careful of the cow's blood, not daring to waste it. As long as this thing is alive with flour and seasoning, after carefully stirring it, it is spread into a cake and baked on a stone slab. He ate it once when he was a teenager, and he still can't forget that deliciousness.

Seeing that Lao Bao came over with an unhappy face and knew what he was thinking, he explained with a smile: "This is not a ploughing cattle, this is a herding cattle, which the merchant exchanged from the Tubo people, and he can't get the field." Can't do farm work, there is only one use, that is, meat, these years famous Beijing master of Shudi beef jerky, is made of this kind of beef cattle as raw materials. Brother Xiren has a good mouth today, Yun Zheng also has a skill that is the craft of cooking, and simple food will turn decay into magical changes in his hands. ”

Lao Bao said with a gloomy face: "Since you can exchange it for beef cattle, why don't you exchange these useless things for war horses?" ”

Zhang Fangping shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Xiren, Shangjia is not an official, they still have to pursue profits and change war horses alone." The Tubo people don't do it, the number of war horses is limited after all, if we only need war horses, don't herd cattle, it won't be long before the war horses on the grassland will be replaced by us. People are not stupid, it is impossible to just exchange war horses.

What's more, cowhide, horns, and tendons are all indispensable materials for making leather armor and bows and arrows, and no matter how you change them, you won't suffer a loss. ”

Yun Zheng and Zhou Tong. Wu Jie and a group of people stood under the eaves and watched Zhang Fangping negotiate with Bao Zheng, except for Yun Zheng, none of them were very happy, Lao Bao came to Shuzhong this time, he was specially here to provoke thorns, no matter who it was, he would not have a good impression of such a person.

"Don't be upset, we should be sober, Bao Longtu is a well-known square person, so he won't tell lies with a clear conscience, when he was in Qin Fenglu, he knew that I was using him, and for the sake of the overall situation, he still collected the people of the Qijia Zhuangzi as horse herders, and he also pinched his nose and admitted the ranch I demarcated, and he did not back down because of the argument with Fu Bi about this matter.

Since we have no selfish intentions, and for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as we stand upright, people like Bao Zheng can only help us and have no harm, so he can come, in fact, I am most happy to see.

The speed of our development is a bit fast, in fact, except for the Jiazi Battalion, you have not seen other military camps, so all your cognition of the military camp comes from the Jiazi Battalion, if you go to other military camps, I guarantee that you will have nightmares, and it is so lucky that you have not become a slave under the protection of a group of such people.

Try to let Bao Longtu look at the Jiazi camp more carefully, and tell everyone through his mouth, there is still an army that is working hard in the Great Song Dynasty, and a fair and good person will help us say a word, which is more effective than us saying 10,000 sentences.

Since you want to ask the old man to help, it is also appropriate to serve him better, after all, this is an awe-inspiring old man, we are not allowed to slacken, let alone question the squareness of the old man, we are the younger generations of children to maintain respect for the predecessors or necessary.

The old people like to bring up the younger generations, we always have to show the side worthy of the old people's support, Zhou Tong, you go to get the piano, you talked about the tune well, wait a while to serve the old man with the sound of the piano, Wu Jie, you are ready to paint, draw the scene of the old man and the mansion drinking banquet, Hou Dayi, your little words are good, responsible for chanting during the banquet, Lang Tan, Jiang Zhe, responsible for setting the wine and beating the drum, my fucking cooking. ”

Hou Dayi, who is the most old-fashioned, whispered: "General, isn't it shameless for us to do this? ”

Yun Zheng glared at Hou Dayi angrily and said, "Have you forgotten that we are literati?" This is very important, a few days ago we used the martial arts method to entertain Bao Longtu, almost made him forget that we are still scholars, this is not a good sign, we are soldiers in order to complete the army, not to see other civil officials kowtow, in the future when dealing with other officials, it is also to use the etiquette of scholars, not the style of military generals, this is very important, Wu Jie asked Su Xun to join the army to join the army after the painting was inscribed on it, and then invited the guests of Chengdu Mansion who came to be a guest tonight to inscribe on it as a commemoration, and it was also framed overnight. Tomorrow, I will give Bao Longtu and let him take it to Tokyo to show him, so that others will know that we are a group of very deferential juniors, not a group of killers with higher ambitions than the sky!

When you come over at night, remember to wear the shirt, all of them must show the bearing of a scholar, if anyone is like a rough man, Lao Tzu will let him walk from Chengdu Mansion to Mount Emei! ”

When the lanterns were first on, there were countless guests on the edge of Dujiangyan, the soldiers and their families of the Jiazi battalion built a high platform at the fastest speed by the river, the moon stars are scarce tonight, the breeze is gentle, the ears listen to the sounds of heaven, the wine is fragrant around them, and the guests who came first have not yet drunk the wine.

Zhang Fangping sat on the main seat, Lao Bao sat on the guest seat, Mr. Peng Li accompanied him in the next head, Lu Weng Huang Weng, and Zheng Weng sat opposite, Su Xun took a dozen boys selected from the military camp to echo during the banquet, and the subordinate officials of Chengdu Mansion and the servants brought by Lao Bao were seated one by one. Holding folding fans one by one, talking and laughing, this is clearly a meeting between literati, and there is still a shadow of a soldier.

Zhang Fangping liked this change very much, and kept urging the boy to buy wine for himself, and said to Lao Bao with a big laugh: "Brother Xiren should return with a full load on this trip, Gao Tansheng's head, Liu Ningjing and other bandit leaders were captured, and they happened to be taken by Brother Xiren to Bianliang City to kill a hundred examples, and the blood of Wang Ze of Beizhou is not enough to deter the world, then add the heads of Gao Tansheng and others, it will definitely make the bandits in the world frightened!" ”

Bao Zheng is very uncomfortable with the changes tonight, from the iron-blooded army to a gentle gentleman in an instant, which makes Bao Zheng, who has always been consistent in doing things, like in a dream, fortunately his concentration is strong, and many years of life in the sea made him quickly come out of the confusion, and smiled and raised a glass to Zhang Fangping's wine.

Lu Weng glanced at the sky and the river in front of him and said with a smile: "What a majestic style Cao Mengde wrote in the past, sending out the emotion of the black magpie flying south around the tree three turns, I don't want to defeat Chibi in an instant, defeat Huarong Dao, today the same moon and stars are rare, you must not chant the sentence of the moon star and the black magpie flying south, this is a big bad luck!" ”

Lu Weng made fun of the martial arts at the beginning, this is the routine of the literati banquet, although Yun Zheng is also a military general, but Lu Weng and the literati of Chengdu Mansion have never regarded him and a cadre as military generals, but they just think that they went to the military camp to bring a new wind to the military camp, and they went to transform the military camp, not to prepare to go into battle.

Zhou Tong looks handsome, barefoot on the high platform, behind him there are two boys carrying the guzheng to place the incense case, after lighting the incense, he saluted around, proving that he is the main sound of tonight, brushing the strings of the guzheng with his hand, a burst of seven tones endlessly, after sitting down, he arched his hand to Bao Zheng and said: "The predecessors come to Dujiangyan, and the younger generations only hate that there is no long thing to sit down in the dragon picture, and congratulate the dragon picture with a song The autumn tide is endless." ”

Bao Zheng drank a glass of wine, threw Zhou Tong a peach and said with a smile: "Let's play it, wait for the old man to taste it." ”

Zhou Tong took the peach with a smile and put it on the incense table, and the fairy began to play.

Wu Jie also walked up, but his clothes were very neat, not as bohemian as Zhou Tong, with two huge air death lanterns beside him, and as soon as he gave up his hand, he began to paint......

Yun Zheng leaned his shoulders on a beam, holding a big peach in his hand to eat, the late peach at home is ripe, it is the most delicious to eat at this time, Lang Tan came over and touched him and whispered: "Peng Jiu is just that, Liang Ji's hammer is not suitable for martial arts here, right?" It's not good if you hurt someone. ”

Yun Zheng sighed and said: "The way of civil and military affairs complements each other, who can distinguish between high and low, now the overall atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty is not good, I can only grieve Peng Jiu, Liang Ji and them, only barbarism can bring out the elegance of the literati, this is no way, we can only follow the trend in doing things, the so-called righteous torrent in the world is mighty, those who follow it prosper and those who rebel die, and no one can change it!" ”
