(The fifth update, the 400 monthly pass plus more!) ）

It's just news, but it's already a confirmed message.

Zhang Yichen, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui sat in the yamen and pondered for a while. The officials of the county government were secretly puzzled, and they didn't understand what happened to these three officials today.

Luo Cheng returned from the county seat.

He first called a meeting of his county officers and announced the news.

Then he went to the county government the next day to meet Zhang Fangdu and the others, anyway, Zhangqiu is his hometown, and it is also the place where he started, even if he wants to be transferred now, but in fact, he still has to deal with them in the future.

The teacher Zhang Xutuo said something to him, and he thought it was right. They are military generals, and training troops to fight is the first priority, but if there are no civilian officials in the rear who are responsible for logistics and salaries, even the most powerful generals will not be able to win.

This is just like the Han Dynasty with 5,000 infantry but 80,000 cavalry Li Ling, after the famous general, whether it is the ability to command troops or fight is first-class, he took the most advanced infantry in the world at that time, wearing the best equipment, and the Hun cavalry hard battle. However, this great famous general ignored a problem, without the assistance of friendly forces, without the support of follow-up food and grass, he went deep alone, resulting in himself being finally surrounded.

Although he fought 80,000 cavalry with 5,000 infantry and killed and wounded tens of thousands of Huns, what was the use, in the end, it was not that the arrows were exhausted and the grain and grass were exhausted, so he could only break through the siege helplessly, and he was finally captured. After the news of his capture was returned, Emperor Wu of Han also destroyed him.

Although from the perspective of Luo Cheng's later generations, the defeat at that time had a lot to do with Li Guangli and other soldiers and horses not cooperating with the attack, but Li Ling, as a famous general, knew that several friendly troops would not attack, not only did not retreat, but still had to go deep alone, which was inevitably too presumptuous.

Luo Cheng brought some gifts to Zhang Yichen and them, which can be regarded as thanking them for taking care of them all the time.

When he went to winter, Luo Cheng asked the grange to kill pigs to make sausages, bacon and ham, these things didn't look very beautiful, but Luo Cheng pointed out the cook's way to deal with them, and when they were brought out, they were already very beautiful.

A thin slice of ham, selected from the best ham, sliced like paper-like square slices, sliced one by one, ruddy in color, rich in fragrance.

Zhang Yichen sandwiched a slice and felt salty and delicious.

"Is this pork?"

"Well, the hind leg of the pig, after salting, smoking, fermentation, and drying, you get this unique delicacy." Luo Cheng introduced.

"You really have a lot of skills, yesterday we went to the mountains to see the tuntian, your corn is really good." When Du Ruhui spoke, he deliberately glared at Luo Cheng a few times.

"I also told the county lieutenant about some farming methods before, but you didn't care about it at the time."

"You have nothing to do with this ham?" Zhang Yichen asked.

"Of course it's eaten, don't you think this ham is delicious?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head, "It's definitely not just about eating, I think these things you brought today, ham, sausage, bacon, are all salted, salted and smoked, it seems to be easy to store and preserve, right?" ”

"Hahaha, Fang Xiancheng is really amazing. This ham, sausage, and bacon are indeed easy to store, because after being salted, cured and smoked, they can be kept for several years or even ten years. And these are made of pork, the cost is cheaper than mutton, etc., I plan to use these to make reserve military rations, especially in wartime, it is easy to carry and will not be bad, especially these meats are very salty, stewed or steamed when cooking, or even eaten directly, which can replace salt and salt cloth. ”

In this way, it is no longer just a food.

Du Ruhui also realized that these kinds of pork were really good, "Can it really be kept for so long?" ”

"Of course, it's definitely okay to keep it for ten years, but it definitely doesn't taste good after a long time."

Salting, pickling and smoking also has the advantage that it can shrink, for example, a hundred catties of meat, smoked bacon is estimated to be only sixty or seventy catties.

Carrying it with the army can reduce weight, and it is easy to store and not easy to break, and it can also replace salt cloth, which is great.

"I'll send some cured meat later." Zhang Yichen said unceremoniously, "You kid said to leave, even if you are promoted, you will also take the county camp away, five hundred people, originally all of them are from our county." ”

Du Ruhui added a sentence next to him, "The county order, don't forget that there are still 45,000 acres of military tun and battalion fields in the mountains, we went to see it yesterday, at least two stones can be collected per acre, and 80,000 or 90,000 stone millet can be collected in his mountains this summer, and now it will all become a Wei Mansion, and it has nothing to do with our Zhangqiu County." ”

Zhang Yichen listened and inhaled, and his flesh hurt.

Steamed sausages and fried bacon are simple methods, but they have a different taste.

Four people at a table, eating food and drinking wine, but unconsciously drank several pots.

Afternoon.

Luo Chengcheng lay under the porch of the back office, enjoying the summer breeze, and fell asleep.

When he was half asleep, he seemed to hear someone calling him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a woman wearing a green silk shawl walking under the porch.

She directly reached out and pulled Luo Cheng up.

"I'm looking for you everywhere, so you're here."

There will be no one who does not avoid the suspicion of men and women, but it is the sister-in-law of the second brother, Shan Binbin.

Speaking of Qin Qiong's wedding at the beginning of the year, Luo Cheng went to Licheng to congratulate him, and met Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Biting Jin, who came to drink the wedding wine, and the seven of them were brothers at that time.

After the wedding banquet, Shan Xiongxin and the others also came to Zhangqiu to visit Luo Cheng's county barracks, and stayed together in Luo's house in Nanshan Village for a few days. That time, Shan Xiongxin came with his sister.

Shan Xiongxin's girl is eccentric, not like the average lady who is willing to stay at home every day, and likes to run around the most. Shan Xiongxin loves this girl very much, so he doesn't restrain her at all.

I don't know what's going on, anyway, this Shan Binbin was very attached to Luo Chengcheng when he saw him, and Luo Yuan only regarded her as his little sister, so he often told some jokes and anecdotes to this lively girl to amuse, and it turned out that this girl couldn't do without Luo Cheng, just like sticking.

In those days in Zhangqiu, she followed Luo Cheng wherever he was. Although Shan Xiongxin took her back later, she had to secretly come to Luo Cheng every once in a while.

Shan Binbin held Luo Cheng's hand, and there were tears in his eyes.

She looked up at Luo Cheng, "I ran away from home this time, and now I am desperate, I have come to join you, you can't drive me away again, let alone tell my brother, I have nothing to do with him." ”

Luo Cheng only felt a headache.

He looked left and right and found that Shan Binbin did not have an entourage by his side.

"You're here alone?"

"Well, I said I was going to come to you, but my brother didn't allow it, saying that I was away from home all day, crazy, and that I wouldn't be able to get married in the future. I said that I would marry Brother Luo Cheng in the future, and then I secretly ran out. ”

Luo Cheng was speechless for a while.

It is estimated that Shan Xiongxin also knew that his sister was coming to Zhangqiu, and he must have sent someone to follow behind.

"Binbin, you are also twenty-eight years old this year, how do I feel that you are still the same as eight years old. If you run out like this, your brother will be worried. ”

"He won't worry about it, he just thinks about marrying me to the son of the Zheng family of the Cui family, but I have seen several sons of the Zheng family of the Cui family, all of them are boring and tight, and they also look down on our family, I won't marry that kind of person, if I want to marry, I will marry Brother Luo Cheng, who is funny and handsome, and will love me the most."

Shan Binbin held Luo Cheng's hand and didn't let it go at all.

Luo Cheng secretly thought in his heart that Shan Binbin was actually a very beautiful girl, not bad, tall, and could also use fists and swordsmanship, could ride horses and shoot arrows, but she was a little too active. Men, in fact, still prefer those passive girls.

Bin is like this, which always makes Luo Cheng feel as if he has been forced by the overlord.
