Chapter 346 The mooncakes of the Hou Mansion are extraordinarily sweet

Soon, the steaming mooncakes were freshly baked, and the rich aroma of baking wafted out of the kitchen, attracting half of the yard people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Strictly speaking, authentic Cantonese mooncakes need to be oiled for two days, otherwise the skin will be harder and the color will not be too good-looking. But, but the beauties can't wait, and the season is over, so just eat it like this, and do it in advance next year.

Lin Chong counted the maidservants and family members who were looking around in the courtyard, and about a dozen of them were selected from the army to be loyal and reliable in the house, so he asked a few ladies and Jin'er to quickly make another drawer to comfort them.

Seeing that it was close to noon, his heart suddenly moved, every festival he thought of his relatives, and the 5,500 soldiers of the Wild Wolf Army followed him without complaining bitterly, and he celebrated the festival by himself, so he couldn't let them watch it.

So I discussed with my wives whether I wanted to make some and send them to the barracks. Zhenniang and Erniang all said yes, and Jin'er rolled up her sleeves and was ready to do a big job.

Zhang Wan looked at the scene and whispered, "Master Hou, the kitchen is too small, I'm afraid it won't work to make thousands of moon cakes with just a few of us, can you borrow some guys from the camp to make baking?" ”

Zhang Wan still has clear thoughts and can speak, and handed over the final decision-making power to Lin Chong without a trace.

Lin Chong was thorough at one point, and immediately went to the barracks with materials such as molds and oranges, and Zhen Niang, Erniang, Zhang Wan, and Jin'er naturally followed Lin Chong to the barracks.

Everyone knows that the Hou Ye does not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, but takes his wife to have fun with the officers and soldiers, which will definitely move and conquer many ordinary soldiers. But in doing so, discerning people will know that Lin Chong is inviting people to buy people's hearts, which will definitely cause disgust and even fear among the court and officials.

As the biggest official of Dongkuo and Xiagou, Lin Chong already held the power of life and death in the two cities in his hands, and no one could restrain him, in fact, he was the emperor of the soil.

In order to keep this territory, whether it is the military under his command or the soldiers, Lin Chong needs to manage it carefully. Because of this, Lin Chong became more and more cautious.

If he gets this position, he will inevitably hinder the interests of others, since there are interests, there will be plans, he is in the light, the other party is in the dark, and there is no room for mistakes.

Although it is a forced self-protection this time, it has been targeted by countless people. No one touched him at the moment, except for the remaining nine cities that needed their own support, there was only one question of timing.

Lin Chong understood the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty, so he chose Dongkuo and Xiagou precisely because it was convenient to break away from the encirclement of the Great Song Dynasty.

If you are trapped in the land of the Song Dynasty, in case the imperial court is really in a hurry, it will be enough to send more than 100,000 troops like exterminating Fang La.

So at the moment when he decided to launch a counterattack, these follow-up steps had already been planned in Lin Chong's heart.

With more than 10 capable generals and 5,500 soldiers under his command, and with his 21st century vision and accumulation of knowledge, if he can't handle the Great Song Dynasty, which is strong in foreign countries and in the middle, it will not be a joke!

Although Lin Chong may not have a strong desire to dominate the world and change the dynasty, it is a valuable experience for future generations to take precautions. Destiny must always be in your own hands, and no matter how well others say it, it can't be trusted.

The soldiers can obey the command of the general in charge, but they must know that every porridge, meal, clothes and shoes are given by Lin Chong, and no matter what time it is, Lin Chong has them in his heart, which is enough.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hou Ye and his wife were in the barracks, and like every soldier, they could not go home. I also made moon cakes to share with everyone, and it was strange that the soldiers didn't dig out their hearts and lungs, this invisible means was not exchanged.

Therefore, in the first Mid-Autumn Festival of the Wild Wolf Army, under the impact of Lin Chong's new moon cakes, the cohesion of the soldiers, especially the soldiers at the grassroots level, was greatly enhanced. After all, mooncakes are a real grace, and this grace cannot be exchanged for money.

Many soldiers are only 16 years old, psychologically still a little immature, August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival, the world is reunited, but they have to spend thousands of miles away alone, although they do not say it, but they have a taste of their own experience.

I didn't expect that Lord Hou and his wife would go to the room in person regardless of their hard work to make moon cakes for ordinary soldiers at the bottom of the army who wanted to be like themselves, which was unheard of.

I don't know if this piece in my hand is made by the Hou Ye or Mrs., the style is exquisite, it smells fragrant, where is it willing to eat, and I went to work on duty one by one with it in my arms.

Chen Dong, Pei Xuan and scholars also rushed to help, and Chen Dong was happy to see this unprecedented experience. The behavior of sharing weal and woe and taking the lead may not be appropriate for the current Lin Chong.

However, as it is today, sometimes putting on a show can greatly improve morale, so as to effectively control the grassroots soldiers and avoid the hidden danger of mutiny caused by the personal dictatorship of some generals, which is of great reference significance.

"It's better to do more to push yourself and others, and the officials left over from the party still have to be concerned. Special funds were allocated from official expenses for procurement, and officials in the two places, regardless of Chinese and foreign ranks, each household would receive two pieces of moon cakes, plus a basket of fruits, as a permanent example. ”

Party officials are not as generous as the Great Song Dynasty, and their salaries are not high. Now that Dongkuo and Xiagou have been changed to the Song system, most of the officials have been retained, and the salaries of these people have increased a lot, and the additional benefits on the Song Dynasty side are much higher than the salary, and they are all more satisfied.

If you add Lin Chong's grace on holidays, these officials can stabilize their minds and stabilize the market, so that they can ensure that the two cities can operate well.

Chen Dong Pei Xuan Shusheng immediately increased the number of moon cakes made, and at the same time transferred manpower from the military, with the made moon cakes and purchased fruits, and began to walk the streets and alleys to visit officials to send warmth.

This measure greatly alleviated the anxiety of the old officials, who to be an official is not to do, he is familiar with the local people and things in his hometown, the whole family has to eat and drink, do not work and wait for starvation to death?

There are some so-called literati and righteous people, who scold themselves all day long for being spineless in the party who defected to the Song State.

Why don't you see you scolding those pigs and dogs who are inferior to the army, as well as civilian and military generals? If you can hold the city, how can we beg for a living in a low voice in front of the foreigners?

The same full moon is probably melancholy in Li Qianshun's view, and even dark clouds covering the corner of the moon will cause sadness.

What kind of Hou Ye can actually break through the border cities one after another, and it is said that he has already obtained the map of the Yehu family, and the remaining nine cities are only afraid that they are in danger.

After so many years, he has been the emperor since he was a child, until the Khitan poisoned and killed the Empress Dowager Liang, and then to the party after he really purged the power, and he was worried every day.

In case he provoked the Khitan one day and accidentally drank the tea, he didn't dare to imagine the next picture.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night!" Yelu Nanxian came over at the right time to remind her husband.
