Chapter 254: There are too many cattle, sheep and horses, and it is annoying
"What's there to worry about, let Dark 8 give a message to the eldest brother, let him solve it for us, it's over" Li Taiman said nonchalantly.
"That's right, let the eldest brother figure it out, what am I struggling with here!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Ke clapped his palms and shouted loudly.
On the side, Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Ke and Li Tai speechlessly, how could they want to go to Li Chengqian for everything, he really wanted to say, such a long way, when asked about the strategy, then all this meat will be wasted.
But before Cheng Yanjin could ask, Dark 8 jumped out.
"The two highnesses, Su Guogong, have the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" After Dark 8 finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Ke.
After Li Ke took the letter, he immediately read it, and after reading it, he handed the letter to Li Tai, and then said, "This is still the eldest brother, thoughtful, now that the problem has been solved, I am waiting for the convoy of salt to come."
"I'll just say, the eldest brother is absolutely concerned about this, after all, in his opinion, it's all money, so now it's nothing for me, I'll go to sleep" Li Tai, who read the letter, left after saying a lazy word at the moment.
"Su Guogong, it's okay now, then I'm going to sleep too" Li Ke saw that Li Tai was gone, and he also left.
Cheng Yanjin stood there looking at Li Ke who was leaving, Li Tai shook his head speechlessly, and then looked at the letter sent by Li Chengqian.
In this heart, there is nothing else, just a recipe, and Li Chengqian's sentence "I brought you salt, if there are cattle and sheep that are not easy to bring back, then kill them and salt them, bring them back, and bring back the skin."
is such a short paragraph, connecting Li Ke and Li Tai with their dialogue, so that Cheng Yanjin once again has a new understanding of Li Chengqian, the prince.
In the next few days, waiting for the team to transport salt to come, looking at the cart of snow-white refined salt, Cheng Biting Jin's three views were refreshed at one time, especially Li Tai's sentence, this salt is his eldest brother, how much and how much it takes, it makes Cheng Biting Jin feel bad, this is a dignified prince, the family eats some green salt, and sea salt is very rare, but Li Chengqian is indeed extravagant to marinate meat, and what is even more infuriating is that there is also a cart of wine and spices.
However, looking at the accustomed appearance of Li Tai and Li Ke brothers, he didn't bother with it, but arranged for someone to wash the beef and mutton that could still be wanted, cut it into strips to control the moisture, and then marinate it according to the recipe given by Li Chengqian.
However, because there was too much beef and mutton, even if a group of soldiers were separated, there was still not enough manpower, and in the end, Cheng Yanjin discussed with Li Ke and Li Taiyi, leaving those Turkic prisoners there to eat dry rice, it was better to let them do it, they just need to make the seasoning of the marinated meat one by one.
After discussing it, they gave the order to go down, and sure enough, how could the speed be called a fast one.
Within a few days, the piles of beef and mutton were marinated, looking at the rows of cured meat hanging on the poles, not to mention those Turks, even Cheng Yanjin, who had seen a big scene, was shocked.
However, because of this meat, it also brought them some trouble, that is, a large number of wolves and vultures often came to eat meat, so Cheng Yanjin sent a large number of men and horses to hunt wild wolves.
But when it comes to cured meat, at the beginning, when the Turkic captives were arranged, they also robbed when they saw the snow-white and crystalline salt, after all, many of them had never seen such salt, and they had never even seen so much salt.
In the end, Li Ke came forward and told them that as long as they worked hard, after the beef and mutton were marinated, they would divide one of them into one piece, and then they calmed down, and then worked there one by one energetically, just to get the cured meat.
"Your Highness, General, it's not good, there is a lot of noise in the distance, you can go and take a look" On this day, when Cheng Yanjin and Li Ke and Li Tai were sitting in the military tent, a personal guard ran over to report.
"What's the panic, the sky can't fall, follow me to take a look, do you want to go and see if your two highnesses want to go and see it too" Cheng Yanjin said, turning his head to look at Li Ke and Li Tai.
"Okay, let's take a look" Hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Ke Li Tai nodded and said.
Then the three of them took their weapons and walked out of the tent.
When they came out, they did not see any Turkic army, but saw herds of cattle, sheep and horses coming towards this side under the siege of the Turks.
"I'll go, I finally understand, why did the eldest brother have such a plan, it's too fucking too much! And the third brother, Su Guogong, you see, there are dozens of cattle and sheep in front of this, if all the people who went out come back, then this, I really can't imagine how many there will be" Li Tai looked at the dense cattle and sheep in front of him, and said with a shocked face.
"Who said no, it seems that our people are a little insufficient, if we want to get these cattle, sheep and horses and this group of Turkic captives to Xiaoguan or Datang, I can't think of a way" Li Ke looked at those cattle and sheep, and said with a shocked face.
And as the Turks came back one after another, there were more and more cattle and sheep, as well as horses, which plunged them into the troubles of happiness.
"It's not okay to go on like this, or Your Royal Highness, we will now directly exchange the promise you gave before, let those Turks directly become my Tang people, and let them help drive these cattle, sheep and horses to Xiaoguan, what do you think" On this day, Cheng Yanjin, who was noisy, said his thoughts to Li Ke and Li Tai.
"I think, it's only like this, it's been so many days, we haven't figured out a way, but if they become my Datang people, then let them do this, then it won't work, I see, let them catch up, but we have to give them benefits, for example, if this family helps us drive a hundred cows or two hundred heads, and when we get to Xiaoguan, then we will give them a cow and two sheep, what do you think" Li Tai heard Cheng Yanjin's words, thought about it and said to them.
"I think it's okay, but to prevent them from losing their cattle and sheep, there must be corresponding punishments, and this method is only for those Turks who don't have the blood of my Tang people and soldiers on their hands, if there are such people, they are still better escorted by us" Li Ke added here on Li Tai's plan.
After listening to Li Ke's words, both Cheng Yanjin and Li Tai nodded in agreement, and then they called some other generals and civil officials to discuss the details with them
After they discussed it, they said to the Turkic captives, and they knelt there one by one with gratitude, after all, in the eyes of many people, they were captured, and their future life would definitely not be good, and they would either be treated as slaves or killed, but they didn't expect it to become like this.
