There are not many people at Zhu Biao's table, except for the three princes, only Pingliang Marquis Feiju and Fengyang Prefect are accompanied, and the rest of them are sitting in other places, and it seems that there have been many small groups.

Xu Yungong and Changmao don't deal with each other very much, not to mention that there is Li Qi standing on the side, Guo Chong, Li Jin, Zhang Fan and others also have contradictions, and there are people like Fu Zhong who isolate everyone else.

Even if they are all Zhu Biao's henchmen, they are still full of contradictions internally, and they will not all become good brothers because of this, but this is also expected by Zhu Biao, and there is even an element of his acquiescence in it.

However, no matter how it is, it will not be derived to the point of hatred, because they know that Zhu Biao's connivance is limited, and they can not get along, but they must not drag each other back, plus there will always be a few people who act as lubricants.

As the soju was served, the atmosphere of the meat slices into the pot suddenly became lively, and Zhu Biao also smiled and began to drink with the people at the same table, the spicy wine slid down his throat, and his whole body seemed to be burning.

Zhu Biao didn't make any toasts or anything like that for this meal, he just simply asked them to have a lively meal, and they could naturally feel it, and His Royal Highness would be lively if he needed to be lively.

The thin slices of meat are cooked quickly, and Zhu Biao has a sense of satisfaction when he picks them up with chopsticks and puts them in his mouth, but it is a pity that there are no various dipping sauces in later generations, otherwise this taste can be turned over several times.

Liu Jin actually prepared a sauce for him, which was made of wine, salt, sauce, pepper, etc., and the taste could only be said to be average, at least Zhu Biao didn't like it much, he preferred the sesame sauce-based dipping sauce.

It's a pity that although sesame seeds were brought back to China by Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, the planting scope is not large, and more importantly, it is mainly used for oil extraction, and it is rarely made into other edible products.

Zhu Biao can remember it as soon as he eats hot pot, but when he doesn't eat it, he doesn't bother to ask someone to get it, and people in this era are not interested in sesame sauce, after all, they can't eat enough, how can they care about the taste.

This meal was eaten for an hour, and the protagonist was the first time to eat so full, and it can only be said that the contribution of the cattle in those two days was great, worthy of being a fighting cow, and it was not in vain that Zhu Biao worked hard to bring them back from the grassland.

Zhu Biao silently glanced at the satisfied people, and suddenly felt that he had to strengthen the protection of the cattle, and he couldn't let them fight all the time, and he was forced to eat beef every day, even Zhu Biao was distressed.

Zhu Biao squinted his eyes and looked at His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who only ate beef and not sheep just now, and saw him licking his lips with his hands on his belly, looking unfinished.

Zhu Biao asked softly: "Second brother, the matter of dredging the river is almost done." ”

Zhu Fan cheered up and replied: "It's almost, and it's not good to continue combing after winter." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Then I will give you another errand, the weather is cold, and the livestock must also pay attention to proper placement, especially the cattle, and they have to point to them to plow the land after the beginning of spring, so I don't want to hear the news of a cow dying again." ”

The corners of Zhu Fan's mouth twitched, he was planning to provoke the relationship between a few cows in a few days just now, but he didn't expect to die before leaving the school, which would make the hero cry.

King Jin naturally couldn't admit it so easily: "This cow is a beast in the end, the cowshed is so big, I can't hold them when they fight, and it's not impossible for them to slip and fall down the aisle and die." ”

Zhu Biao didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Fan with a smile, and finally he lowered his head and promised that the cows and cows would live in harmony, and no cow would lose its life before the beginning of spring.

Zhu Li also had some regrets, Zhu Di didn't care, he preferred to eat mutton, and Zhu Biao let them all go back after the rest of his subordinates were full of wine and food, and the three brothers of the Zhu family stayed here with Zhu Biao.

It's a simple meal, but it's also a great way to deepen your feelings, and it's a tradition since ancient times, so it's always right to walk around the table no matter what you want to do.

Early the next morning, Zhu Biao led his younger brothers out of the city, the snow was not as heavy as the previous two days, but there was still no rhythm to stop, and the wind was blowing, the winter of this era was far colder than that of later generations.

Zhu Biao and the others have already changed into clothes woven from fox fur, which also feels very cold, not to mention those people, although the cotton clothes have been distributed, what is the effect, and whether it really falls into the hands of the people, he has to see with his own eyes.

In winter, he can, green ants new wine, red clay small stove, comfortable and chic day, but the people are frightened, for fear that another family member will freeze to death in this season.

Zhu Fan and others don't want to come out, how comfortable it is to sleep in the bed on a cold day, why bother braving the wind and snow to ride a horse, of course Zhu Biao can't let them go, suffering together is also a good way to enhance feelings, maybe Zhu Biao just can't get used to them enjoying it.

Passing by several villages, Zhu Biao personally went in to take a few looks, the roads in the village were empty, everyone was at home, eating less, drinking less and moving, relying on dilapidated houses to shelter from the wind and snow.

The chimneys are all bought with green smoke, the trees on the surrounding mountains have basically been cut down, the suitable ones are burned with charcoal, and the unsuitable ones are transported back as firewood.

Charcoal is fired from a large amount of wood, the price is still relatively expensive in this era, and the ordinary people burn it out and take it to the mansion of the dignitaries to sell it for food and other items, and rarely say that they use it themselves, because the firing is too laborious and costly.

It's not just that the people can't afford to burn charcoal, but even low-grade officials can't afford to use it, let alone more expensive coal, at the level of the Fengyang prefect, the charcoal stored at home is just a little.

This is why Zhu Biao came and ordered a large-scale felling of trees, otherwise no official would dare to give this kind of order, especially Fengyang as an imperial township, the mountains and forests are mostly state-owned, and no one cares about you if you secretly pick up some branches, but cutting down trees without permission will be beaten by the government.

Not to mention that the mountains and forests have been cut down like this like a locust transit version, if it is not allowed by the imperial court, the black gauze hat of the Fengyang prefect will not be able to be saved, but Zhu Biao is in charge, then no one dares to pursue it.

Casually stopped in front of a house, Zhu Biao got off the horse and walked in, Fu Zhong walked in the front, the tiger's back really hindered Zhu Biao's vision, there was no reaction in the house, Fu Zhong knocked on the door before someone hurriedly agreed.

After a while, a young man opened the door, and when he saw so many people, he took a step back in fright, thinking that he would not do anything.

After looking at it a few times in a panic, he saw the savior, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

Zhu Fan shuddered, looked at this person carefully and said, "It looks familiar, it is estimated that it is the people who dredged the river with me." ”

Zhu Fan just wanted to tell the identity of the eldest brother, after all, he should also salute the prince first, Zhu Biao shook his head at him, and Zhu Fan understood.
