Chapter 186: Future
Qin Qiong came, Luo Cheng personally went to the kitchen, and made a few appetizers with the materials sent by the Liu family.
"Here comes the dishes, cold-cut beef, stir-fried beef liver, fried beef heart, braised beef intestines, cooked beef face, and a plate of fried soybeans and a cold cucumber."
Qin Qiong looked at a table of beef dishes, a little stunned, "Killed the cow?" ”
"Don't worry, this isn't privately slaughtered beef. The fourth brother's wife's family opened a restaurant in the county seat, and his father-in-law is still a butcher. ”
The government prohibits private slaughter of cattle, but there will always be old, sick and disabled cattle, and when encountering this kind of prohibition of private slaughter, it is necessary to report to the government and then the government will send a butcher to kill. Under normal circumstances, in fact, the butcher cooperates with the yamen to establish some relationships, and then he can obtain this slaughter qualification.
After the cattle are slaughtered, the cowhide, tendon and horns must be handed over to the yamen, which is an important material for making armor and bows, and it is not allowed to be kept privately. But beef will not be wasted, so it will be sold, but because the cattle are less killed, the price of beef has always been high, a pound of beef can be sold for fifty or sixty yuan, where can ordinary people eat.
"Try it, although it's all some ingredients, but I have a unique secret recipe, and it tastes good." Luo Cheng said with a smile.
A pot of water and wine was opened, and the freshly warmed wine was still a little cloudy.
"It's really good." Qin Qiong tried the fried beef liver and found that it was very flavorful, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a feeling of sand, "I didn't expect this beef liver to be so delicious." ”
"No, the best liver is actually foie gras."
"Come, a glass of turbid wine is happy to meet, congratulations to my cousin, on your promotion to the commander of the eighth grade."
Qin Qiong raised her cup and touched it with Luo Cheng, "If you want to say congratulations, it should be congratulations to you, I left in a bit of a hurry last time, I thought you were implicated by me, and it is estimated that Zhang Juncheng will not reuse you." Unexpectedly, you've been a captain in Chengdu for only a few months. ”
"It's just a county lieutenant, that is, a township leader."
Qin Qiong sandwiched a pair of chopsticks to cook the cow face, and felt that this was very chewy, it tasted very chewy, and the taste was very good, I really didn't think that the cow face could be made like this, "Xiao Wu, since you are now a nine-rank official, you can be regarded as officially entering the official career, or I will tell the general to find a way to transfer you to the right guard, with your ability to suppress bandits, the general will definitely like it very much, and then go to any team first." ”
Qin Qiong always felt that in the government soldiers, it was stronger than in the county soldiers.
Luo Cheng refused without thinking about it, what should he do with Youyiwei. Laihu'er is now stationed in Donglai County, preparing for the Eastern Crusade. In the history of several eastern crusades, Laihu'er basically led the waterway soldiers and horses to cross the sea to conquer Goguryeo, and once even directly entered Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
It's a pity that he fell for the tricks of the thieves that time, and as a result, the Sui soldiers who entered the city looted everywhere, but they were beaten by people and suffered heavy losses.
Luo Cheng didn't want to go to Donglai County, let alone go to Goguryeo, not because he loved peace, but because he was really not interested in participating in this obviously failed battle, several Eastern Crusades, each time it was a heavy loss, and countless Han men were lonely and wandering in a foreign land, he didn't want to be that one.
"I didn't think Wang Bo would assassinate you." Qin Qiong talked about Wang Bo's old friend.
"Actually, I won't hide it from you, there is something inside here."
There was no one else here, so Luo Cheng told the details of Wang Boxing's assassination of him.
"Oh? And such a thing? ”
"Although Wang Bo said that he was bewitched by others to participate in rebellion and rebellion, this person's nature is not bad, but he was born at the wrong time." Luo Cheng sighed.
When Yang Jian was the emperor, he was dedicated to recuperation, and the people's lives were still okay. After more than 20 years of accumulation, the Great Sui has a strong national strength and the people are also healthy.
But now in the five years since he succeeded to the throne, there have been all kinds of tosses, although the country is still rich, but the people have been tossed very miserably.
The Great Wall of Yulin was built in three years and four years, and millions of people were used before and after, but the construction period was too rushed, and it is said that nearly half of them died. Then the battalion east was built in Luoyang, the canal was built to the south of the Yangtze River, and the ordnance was made to build warships.
The foundations of the Great Sui Empire are shaking, but unfortunately the emperor can't see it.
"Cousin, if you think that Mrs. Zhang is not bad, I think you can actually consider this marriage. You are not young anymore, and you should understand your aunt's feelings of wanting to hold her grandson as soon as possible. Anyway, the Eastern Crusade hasn't started yet, you have come back this time, just don't rush to leave, settle down your parents, and then wait until the good days are good, and then welcome you through the door, and give birth to a son at home first. When you want to go to the Crusade, your aunt won't stop you. ”
Luo Cheng wanted to persuade Qin Qiong to get married at home, so that maybe the newlywed Yan'er would not go to the East Expedition at that time.
"Think again." Qin Qiong said.
The brothers drank for a while, "Little Wu, since Wang Bo asked you to take care of his concubines and young children, you bothered to make a snack." If you don't have enough money, I have. ”
"Since I agreed, I will definitely take care of them, don't worry. Since they have money, in fact, Wang Bo has already prepared it for them. He had already made a plan, and had buried a large sum of money in advance, and told me last time that I had already taken out the money, which was worth about a thousand dollars. ”
After Luo Cheng took out the money, he stored it and couldn't use it for the time being.
Jing Niang and his two children, he also arranged for him to live in his grange for the time being, and lived with those slaves for the time being.
Luo Cheng had bought a lot of land before, and then bought and rewarded slaves, so he simply settled these slaves there, built some thatched huts there, and made the head of the village by the eloped pharmacy guy.
Luo Cheng didn't send anyone to take care of these people, anyway, the Great Sui had strict control over slaves. Slaves could not leave their homeland without their masters.
If you want to leave the county, not only must you have to take it with you, but you must also have documents issued by Li Zheng and the county government, and someone must guarantee it.
The beloved of the Sui Dynasty went far away, in fact, they also needed documents, this is the pass. and the Ming and Qing dynasties, in fact, are the same thing, if you are not an official or an official, you have to have this kind of official issuance, and the township as a guarantee certificate.
Besides, Luo Cheng was still good to these slaves, he took care of them two meals a day, and let them build a house, and at the same time made an appointment with them in advance, and they were in a group of ten people to be in charge of a grange. As long as the harvest per mu can reach one stone, then they can have two dry meals a day.
If the yield per mu can exceed one stone, they can also get a reward, and Luo Cheng will directly give them a commission. For example, if one stone and two buckets are harvested per mu, then one percent of the excess two buckets will be given to them as a reward, and they will receive a reward of two liters per mu, which is considered a reward for them, and belongs to their private property, which is at their disposal. Even if they save enough money in the future, they can go to Luo Cheng to redeem themselves and get free.
Of course, in addition to this incentive and reward, Luo Cheng also stipulated that these ten people supervised each other in groups, and if one of them escaped, then the other nine people would be punished together.
Therefore, under the combination of grace and power, those slaves now live honestly in the grange, do not need to look at it much, and work diligently every day to repair the canals, repair the fields, go up the mountain to cut wood, and go down to the ground to make manure.
Wang Bo's concubine Jingniang is now placed there, and now she is a distant relative of the Luo family, her husband died, and she brought a pair of children to join her relatives without support, and was placed there by Luo Cheng to cook for the slaves, and she was a cook.
Qin Qiong laughed at Luo Cheng, "You are now a landlord with thousands of acres of fertile land and a group of servants!" ”
"That's thanks to my cousin's capture of the blue-faced ghost, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to make a career."
