Chapter 598: Mass production of steel

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Lantian is cooking for the three thousand peasant brothers, the peasant brothers have been busy until now, and even the meal is eaten tightly on the ground, the Hou Ye said that he will personally cook today to treat everyone, no, after making these pots of beef for the army, he hurriedly turned to the stove on the ground." The soldier who made the buns replied.

Li Er looked up and saw that there were about fifty super cauldrons around, and his heart was dripping blood, which would require at least fifty or even a hundred ploughing cattle.

"What are the farmers doing?"

"It's the same, it's all potato stew, and Master Hou said that everyone is treated equally, and there is no favoritism."

Bang!

Li Eryi threw the big bowl in his hand to the ground, the big bowl was torn apart, the best large pieces of beef flew out of the distance, the soup splashed everywhere, and the ground was suddenly in a mess.

"Huh? Your Majesty forgive your sins, forgive your sins! ”

The soldier who made steamed buns was frightened, and he didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor was furious in a few words, and immediately knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Seeing this, the ministers put down the big bowl in their hands one by one, Wei Chi reluctantly looked at the delicious food in his bowl that had bottomed out, and then looked down at the big bowl of potato stew beef that was dropped by Li Er, and secretly said in his heart that it was a pity.

"Keming, killing cattle in Datang is a felony, what punishment should be given?" Li Er shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, Jane is ......" Du Ruhui had the heart to advise one or two.

Li Er shouted again: "I ask you what punishment you should be?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Lantian will not act for no reason,......" Du Ruhui spoke for Bai Fan again under pressure.

"Hmph, Wei Zheng, what punishment should be given for the crime of killing cattle?" Li Er was dissatisfied, he had always trusted Du Ruhui, and relied on Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui as his humerus, but today Du Ruhui actually saved Bai Fan?

Wei Zheng stepped forward expressionlessly and replied: "The law of the Tang Dynasty, those who commit suicide without permission, are imprisoned for one year (a type of punishment in ancient times, which means restricting freedom and forced labor, and may even be humiliating labor). ”

"Where is Wei Chigong?"

Wei Chigong stubbornly spoke: "Your Majesty, just a few cows, who of us ......?"

"Enough, Hou Junji, you go, take Bai Fan for me."

Hou Junji felt that he shouldn't come today, he had just taken office as the commander of the navy, and it was the time to recruit troops, but the harvest of immortal grain was a major event that could be recorded in history, and he also wanted to add a sum to history, so he joined in the fun.

It's good now, Wei Chi Laohei and Du Ruhui were both scolded for supporting Bai Fan, and it was their turn again, they also had a good personal relationship with Bai Fan, and the position of commander-in-chief of the navy was still helped.

Besides, Your Majesty is the emperor, and Bai Fan is also the uncrowned king, and the two tigers tear each other apart, isn't this a disaster for us little brothers?

Just when Hou Junji was embarrassed, Li Jiancheng stood up, "Second brother, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, Jian Zhi is not an extravagant and wasteful person, there must be a reason for this move, why not ......"

"Enough, big brother, Hugh will protect your good son-in-law again.

At the beginning of the harvest, I once famously said that the harvest of immortal grain cannot be eaten and wasted, and all of it is used for seed retention, but he still takes it as a deaf ear, how many potatoes do you need for these fifty pots of things? I see, no less than 5,000 catties.

And this cow, it's not one cow or two cows, I have roughly calculated, this meal can't be eaten without a hundred cows.

A hundred cows are the lives of a hundred poor people in the Tang Dynasty, relying on his high position, for the sake of appetite, so unscrupulous, he is doing evil, great evil! Li Er's face turned red and he scolded.

"Your Majesty, the minister will go to the Marquis of Lantian and explain to His Majesty in person, there must be a misunderstanding here."

Hou Jun gathered a clever wit, said quickly, and without waiting for Li Er to nod, he had already run towards the field in the distance.

Wei Zheng looked at Hou Junji's distant back, speechless in his heart, he had become a villain for nothing, not even as good as this monkey cub, he also knew how to escape from cleverness, why was he so upright?

On the other side, Bai Fan was sweating like rain on the ten cauldrons of food, and when Hou Junji came, his eyes were glazed, isn't this a shovel? Jane is used for cooking? Ten cauldrons for one person? It's true, even the light work method has been used, and it is estimated that ordinary cooks can't do it at all.

"Jian Zhi, your killing of the cow happened, Your Majesty wants to judge you, hurry up and run away." Hou Junji shouted at Bai Fan.

Bai Fan stumbled, almost fell off a stove, after a little thought, he understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "It's just a few cows, I will kill more in the future, how big is it, tell Your Majesty that I am busy cooking, and I don't have time to go over." ”

Hou Junji was speechless, and the whole Tang Dynasty estimated that you were the only one who dared to talk to His Majesty like this.

"Brother Hou, have you eaten? If I'm not in a hurry to go back, I'll be fine right away, just take a bite? ”

Bai Fan, who had won the merit, stood on the stove and held a shovel and said politely to Hou Junji.

Hou Junji thought about it, and if he went back empty-handed, he would also be trained, so it was better to hide here for a while.

"No, no, I didn't have a lot of fun over there, you have to bring me two more bowls here, don't be stingy."

…… I don't know what Li Er's expression will be over there, his own people not only don't contribute to work, but also eat and drink with each other.

Half an hour later, Bai Fan and Hou Jun had three empty bowls beside them that had been eaten, three bowls for one person, and six steamed buns, which was estimated to be the largest amount of food in their lives.

But he is still inferior to Ziyang Zhenren next to him, there are five big bowls, and he is still eating it, the key is that since he knew that he was stupid about eating white water potatoes, this time he didn't eat beef with potato stew, and he was directly stronger than potatoes, and it was not enough to eat five big bowls.

Bai Fan wiped his mouth, and then walked in the direction of Li Er together, and on this side, Li Er's face was pale, because many of the civil and military officials actually pleaded with Bai Fan after Hou Junji left, as if they were saying that he was a faint monarch who did not distinguish between black and white.

"Your Majesty, Lantian Hou Baifan brought it."

Li Er had a gloomy face, stared at Bai Fan and asked, "Bai Fan, are you guilty?" ”

"The minister grabbed a day's immortal grain, and just made a hundred pots of rice, and he has not yet eaten a mouthful of hot rice when he is tired, I don't know what the crime is?"

Hou Junji slowly covered his face, the three big bowls are probably not cold yet, why are you embarrassed to say this?

"The big crime of killing a cow, killing one head for a year, you kill more than a hundred heads at a time, what are you going to do?"

Bai Fan laughed and said: "Isn't it just some beef cattle, I didn't kill any farming cattle, they were all bison from Murowei, but they were just to give a tooth sacrifice to tens of thousands of brothers in Chang'an County who have worked hard for half a year." ”

"Since you invented the method of piercing the nose of a cow, is there a bison in the world that is not a ploughing cow? You buy more than 10,000 bison from Murowei every year, and I have never seen you slaughter one, and they are all distributed to the people of various states, why are you today?

Are you worthy of the people risking their lives to capture the thieves for you? Li Eryi was upright and awe-inspiring, and asked loudly, and the onlookers on both sides agreed a little, although the smell of beef in the pot made people's mouths water, but thinking about it, these are the meat of cultivated cattle, and most people can't eat it.

"That was before, Your Majesty, Datang is afraid that the killing of cattle will start today, I am not doing this to know the law and break the law, but today I learned a good news, that is, we can say goodbye to cattle farming in the future.

Because Datang is about to usher in the era of the Iron Bull. ”

What the??? Tractor?

Li Er stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Bai Fan and asked.

Zhong Wenwu still wondered, what kind of iron bull could make His Majesty so excited? I have heard of giving gifts to the Golden Buddha and the Golden Bull, is this iron bull more precious than the golden bull?

Bai Fan nodded at Li Er, and only said one sentence: "The blast furnace is completed, the steel is mass-produced, and the first piece will start to make iron cattle." ”
