Everyone carefully tasted the taste and couldn't help but admire Cu Ding's cooking skills more and more.

A meat-based meal often encounters the embarrassment that the more you eat, the more greasy it becomes, and the more you eat, the more tasteless it becomes. However, this time, the order of eating is stewed beef, roast beef, and corned beef, which is often reversed from later generations, but it solves the above problems just right.

First of all, although the beef stew is added with an appropriate amount of salt and some oil and water, it is relatively light after all and will not stimulate the taste buds too much.

The second course of roast beef, let's not discuss how it looks crispy, but the delicious condiments just add a layer of flavor to the experience.

Finally, there is the corned beef, which is just salty and very tender, which once again enhances the eating experience, and it is not greasy, just enough for people to eat, which is really a must.

Imagine if you eat corned beef first, it will definitely make people feel that the latter two are too bland, and if you arrange beef stew in the end, it is likely to make people greasy and don't want to eat more.

Awesome, Tong Yuan glanced at a few of them with admiration. They are also ordinary residents, but they do a good job of logistics support for everyone, which is far better than the effect of peasants and soldiers burying their own pots and cooking.

With a hint of curiosity, he chatted with the cooks for a while, and learned why they were working so hard.

They are all very ordinary hunters, and it is very difficult to support a family with the old and the young. Later, he encountered a border chaos and had to live a life of displacement and forced to become a strong man.

But after following Tong Yuan, they and their families were not only able to eat well, but also achieve something, so that others respected them.

In the past, they were just ants, and the powerful, the big families, and even the soldiers didn't treat them as human beings at all. Now they are living with dignity, and even their children have the opportunity to read and write and learn skills.

That's why they work hard, because it makes them feel like they've lived in two worlds. If you are a human being, you must live a wonderful life.

A little later, they brought drinks and ate them to welcome the new year together. And Tong Yuan was forced to be busy with military affairs, so he didn't have a drink with them, and he was drunk.

After eating such a delicacy, some people proposed that "after developing and occupying a large area of pasture, you can engage in beef and mutton business, and the military and Haoqiang will definitely welcome it." ”

Tong Yuan thought about it and felt that this was indeed a good idea. He thought about it, why not make a porcelain jar for meat, put the beef and mutton in the porcelain jar for preservation, and then supply it to the military first, and then sell it to various places to make a good price?

When Wei Qi heard this, he was speechless for a while, and when he was sure that what Tong Yuan said was not a joke, he replied, "Absolutely not." Meat is already stinky**, and then put it in a porcelain jar, it can only be used as a weapon to poison the enemy. ”

"However, this move is too ruthless and incompatible with what the general has done, so I covet it and think it is absolutely not feasible."

"Aha?" Tong Yuan was also stunned, and then laughed, resolving the embarrassment for a while.

In the end, he handed over the pasture, meat and other matters to Wei Qi, Hu Chuquan and others, and asked them to explore a way out according to local conditions.

And the huge amount of livestock, 100,000 yuan was allocated, half of which was handed over to the government that did not arrange Tuntian for management and distribution, and the other half was sold cheaply to Zhang Yanbu of the Montenegrin Army.

The remaining hundreds of thousands were all allocated to the tuntian, and in the end the number of livestock was even greater than that of the tun people, so that cattle farming and stone grinding could also be carried out on a large scale, and even a certain degree of integration of agriculture and animal husbandry could be developed.

Since there are dreadnought troops stationed in Xihe County, the production base is amazing, and it is handed over to Wei Qi and Xu Huang, who are excellent. Tong Yuan will also be able to divide his energy and understand the situation on the other side of the Yellow River and Shangjun.

According to the intelligence not long ago, Zhang Lu and Zhang Ji have taken the county seat of Gugaonu and are carrying out the operation of recovering the ancient county in the north. Tong Yuan knew that it was also very difficult for them to cross the river, so he hurriedly sent someone to try to cross the river and contact the situation.

At this time, although it is already January, there is still a lot of ice floes on the water, and it is still difficult and dangerous to cross the river.

Fortunately, there are skilled boatmen who can support small-scale river crossings. Within ten days, the situation on both sides was finally communicated.

Tong Yuan finally learned that the skin application had been decided, and Zhang Lu was gradually controlling the entire area south of the Luyan River. He couldn't wait to learn the details of the battle on the other side.

He found that the deduction of these battles, repeated review, and finding out the characteristics and problems of both the enemy and the enemy were very helpful for the growth of generals and the professionalization of the dreadnought army.

At present, there is still a slight lack of details in recording the details of the battle, so can some personnel be arranged to record the situation in the future?

Now that you think of it, you can act.

He gathered the officials of the army and the officials of the Weiyang Junfu together, starting from the Battle of Fenshui Jiexiu, recording the date of the battle and the arrangement of the troops, and restoring the dynamics of each department in combination with the sand table, and finally successfully recorded this battle.

Tong Yuan sighed, "Other battles may be understated, but the recovery and annexation of the state must be recorded one by one, this is the immortal work of our and others, and it is also a priceless wealth left to future generations." ”

As the weather warmed up little by little, the passage on the Yellow River became more secure, and Tong Yuan officially rushed to Shangjun on the other side of the Yellow River, setting foot on the land that had been separated from the Han Dynasty for more than 50 years and had just been recovered in his hands.

"Is this the northern Shaanxi of the future, is it really unimaginable?"

Tong Yuan looked at the woods without many branches and leaves in the mountains, and estimated that in two or three months, it would be lush and green.

He had crossed two great rivers in the past two days, and had seen two or three herds of wild boars foraging for food beside their ranks. Of course, the guards beside him also gnawed on the roast pig's trotters for two days by the way, and I don't know if they have ever eaten it.

In the evening of the same day, Tong Yuan successfully joined Zhang Lu, Zhang Ji, Yu Poison and others. The two sides told the story of the battle, and the thrilling moment half a month ago still made everyone sweat nervously.

Tong Yuan was moved by the generals on the side of Shangjun, especially for the performance of poison. The two intersperses near Hukou Mountain and the five hundred miles into the skin are all amazing.

In the last battle, he experienced the test of adversity, bravely counterattacked, and completely annihilated the Huns. Although there was no living mouth, there was no need to show any mercy to the Huns who did not surrender and kept fleeing.

Tong Yuan did not hesitate to praise the poison, and he also praised the rest of the people.

Next is the arrangement of the upper county.

The first is the issue of county governance. Shangjun was originally a large county north of Sanfu, with a north-south span of 1,500 li. This time, it was recovered by the Xinxi Liang army for a distance of more than 1,000 miles, and there was still an area near the Hetao in the north, which was still in the hands of the Huns.

The old county is located in the north of the central part of the county, close to Yulin in later generations. This place is already on the edge of the Xinxi Liang Army, and it is really not suitable as a county government.

The Gaonu City, located in the center of the liberation of various places, and adjacent to Yanshui, is the best choice for the new county governance.

Therefore, Gaonu City was officially set as the county seat of Shangjun.
