Ma Chao slaughtered a sheep with his own hands, picked the sheep's hooves, and blew into the wound of the sheep's hooves, blowing up the membranes between the skin and flesh like balloons.

Slaughtering sheep and eating sheep, Ma Chao is a good hand, slaughtering sheep can blow sheep and slaughter cattle...... Bragging leather is not used on top.

Tian Xin's absolute strength is now greater than that of a horse, but he can't help it, and slaughtering sheep is a very skillful job.

It is estimated that when Liu Bei came, Ma Chao did not slaughter the sheep himself.

slaughtering sheep for Liu Bei has the meaning of flattery; slaughtering sheep for Guan Yu has the meaning of stammering and flattering...... Tian Xin is an old subordinate, a township party, and a little brother, so he is naturally a little special.

In only thirty minutes, Ma Chao completed slaughtering and bloodletting, blowing sheepskins, picking sheepskins, and removing water, using a dagger in the whole process, without using ropes or other tools.

The sheep turned over on the ground a few times, and then it was taken clean and put into the water, and the skin and flesh were separated, and it lay quietly on the spread sheepskin, not stained with a single dust.

The attendants brought charcoal fires, and the sheep were hung on the side of the pavilion, and Ma Chao and Tian Xin were within reach.

"The mutton is still warm, and General Meng Qi is a good craft."

Tian Xin cut off the meat slices, Ma Chao was disassembling the lamb loin, and the width and thickness of the two ham sausages were close together, Ma Chao first cut off a piece the size of a copper coin and put it in his mouth to chew, and smiled: "When I was at Xiaoxian's age, I had nothing to do on weekdays, but to ride horses and eat sheep." I have more than 500 sheep here, including nearly 100 half-year-old sheep, and I will give 50 to Xiaoxian. ”

Lambs are castrated rams that are generally eaten at the age of half a year when the meat is at its most tender, or at the age of one and a half years when the meat is at its highest.

The lambs in the flock are naturally infertile, and they are used for food.

Fifty half-year-old lambs, barely worthy of Mondo's appearance fee, Tian Xin accepted it with a smile, and also caught the half of the lamb loin handed by Ma Chao, interspersed it with bamboo skewers, and roasted it on the charcoal brazier.

Tian Xin also took out a jar of tea powder for Ma Chao, brewed it on the spot, and drank it together to relieve his greasyness.

Ma Chao took a sip of fresh green tea soup and faintly realized: "Filial piety, if this tea can be made more, only this can can be exchanged for cattle and sheep." ”

"This tea is not exchanged, only I can make it in the world."

Tian Xin grabbed a pinch of salt and pepper and smeared cumin, and said, "I am researching tea suitable for the army to drink, and if it is suitable for the army, it is also suitable for the people who are stuffed over there." ”

Brick tea, this is the next development idea, fried green tea is sold in the form of tea powder, brick tea wins by sales, squeezing other families who operate tea, forcing them to only make a good money, only in this way can the tea be quickly promoted everywhere.

Otherwise, a trendy thing will definitely be expensive in Luoyang paper, so too many people can't eat tea.

It is not difficult to monopolize tea trees, just send someone to burn and cut down other people's tea trees.

Now the Marquis of Wudang, Maicheng, Guanpingtun's Shandu and Zhuyang, as well as Zhonglu, Yicheng and Jingcheng controlled by Guan Yu are also planting tea trees and setting up tea estates.

Brick tea production, the profit is not under the silk.

Seeing that Ma Chao didn't talk, Tian Xin said: "I see that the climate around Xiangyang is suitable for tea production, so General Meng Qi might as well transfer to Nanyang, choose a place with mountains and rivers as a fiefdom, and set up a tea house to operate together?" ”

"Xiaoxian, it's inconvenient for me to meddle in the tea house."

Ma Chao picked up the five ripe lamb tenderloin and put it in his mouth, and ate it with his eyes closed: "My Majesty already knows the traces of my heart." Your Majesty has some concerns, and I also understand that it is my own fault. But I am by nature, if I don't take the opportunity to ask for it, I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Putting down the bamboo stick, Ma Chao's eyebrows collapsed weakly on his face, and his eyes stared at the sheep loin turned in Tian Xin's hand: "My character has broken too many big things, but it is difficult to change." Even if I can change it now, I don't want to wronged myself. It's not that he doesn't want to die, but he is unwilling to do it. Filial piety can also rest assured, after sending troops, I can share the same hatred with filial piety. ”

Ma Chao's daughter is engaged to Liu Li, but this is nothing, even if she is engaged to Liu Chan, it can't be regarded as dependence.

This can't be compared with the Sanke family, the Sanke family of the former Han and later Han is the mascot, but the current Sanke family holds three-eighths of the field corps of the National Dynasty, and the strongest five field corps of the Ji Han Dynasty occupy three of them.

Ma Chao's left army, one of Ji Han's eight armies, happened to be in the top five sequences, tied with Zhang Fei's right army for fourth and fifth.

Liu Bei's Chinese army ranked third, while Tian Xin's Beifu soldiers and Guan Yu's front army were tied for first and second.

In the end, the combat strength depends on the decisive battle in the Central Plains.

The Eighth Army of Ji and Han, Zhao Yun's garrison army was in Chengdu, Wei Yan's Zhenbei Army was changed to Xifu Army stationed in Tunhanzhong, and Wen Ping replaced Huang Zhong as the rear general, and the rear army was always in name only.

Judging from the current record, the scale and results of Ma Chao's left army are all over Zhang Fei's right army.

Tian Xin slowly chewed the medium-ripe lamb loin and said, "I can divide General Meng Qi into a tea house, and after the new tea skills are mature, they can also be taught at the same time." I can also accept General Meng's nephew as a disciple and teach my family knowledge. It's just that the theory of two kings and three kings is really untenable. ”

"Filial piety doesn't have to be embarrassed, Your Majesty treats me very kindly, and it is because of this that I get carried away and give birth to greed."

Ma Chao was about to explain, Tian Xin raised his hand and waved, and heard Tian Xin say: "In fact, the two kings and the three kes are not untenable, and now Your Majesty is even more difficult for the former and later Hans." If our army prospers the Han Dynasty, will we restore the temple of the two Han Dynasty princes? ”

This is a big problem, the princes and kings of Hebei, Central Plains, and Qingxu are very unlucky, and they were targeted during the Yellow Turban Rebellion; Later, when the Yellow Turban revived, the princes and kings were targeted again.

Therefore, the vast majority of pampered princes and kings had already lost their economic ability and influence over their surroundings before Dong Zhuo's coup, and their status was stolen by Haoqiang.

If the status of these Han princes and kings is restored, once Ji Han regains the world, he will have to bear a heavy and huge aristocratic group, and most of them will be rotten.

Liu Bei didn't like these people, Guan Yu didn't like it very much, and Tian Xin naturally didn't like it.

Seeing that Tian Xin's topic was extended to the future national policy, Ma Chao got up to cut mutton, and listened to Tian Xin say: "If the former Han clan family is established as a prince, and then the Hou Han clan family is established as a prince, it can save too much redundancy." ”

The temple of the Two Han Dynasty is naturally worshiped by the Ji Han royal family, and there is no need for the two Han Dynasty to worship full-time, so there is no need to give a generous reward.

If the Ji Han Dynasty is shattered in the future and the fourth Han Dynasty is produced, then according to the current rules, the three Ke will be re-established, or the two kings and three Ke will be re-established, and then the first three Han clans will be elected as the princes, and a good inheritance rule can be formed.

Ma Chao reacted: "Filial piety first refers to the establishment of the two kings, is it really a national necessity?" ”

Tian Xin bowed his head slightly and smiled: "Yes, since the re-establishment of the three kings, it is inevitable to establish the second king." It's just that winning Qin is a taboo in the country, and His Majesty doesn't want to mention it. Guanzhong is also the heart of the country, if the Marquis of Qin and the Duke of Qin are established, how can the face of the country exist? ”

Ma Chao quietly interspersed the mutton, handed a handful of meat skewers to Tian Xin, and blinked his eyes: "Since Your Majesty is embarrassed, I don't want to be cheeky to follow Sanke...... Do you want a Zhao Gong? ”

You can enshrine the temple of the Zhao family with the surname Zhao, or you can put the tablets of the monarchs of the Qin State in the temple, but you can't have anything to do with the word 'Qin'.

Tian Xin stretched out his hand to catch the meat skewers handed by Ma Chao and smiled: "Your Majesty is not stingy with Duke Zhao, but after the decisive battle in the Central Plains, General Meng Qi is afraid that he will be idle." ”

"If I get the Duke of Zhao, I will die without regrets, why not be idle?"

Ma Chao's heart was pounding, and he hadn't felt this excitement and nervousness for many years.

Pressing his right hand on his heart to feel a strong heartbeat, Ma Chao choked slightly: "Glory to the ancestors, you can look at it." ”
