Chapter 540: Ox Nose Ring (Part II)

Cheng Yanjin's reaction was also expected by Gao Ming, after all, even Li Shimin didn't know about the existence of the bullnose ring, and it was not surprising that Cheng Yanjin didn't know.

Seeing his surprised look, Gao Ming immediately explained to him with a smile.

"This cow nose ring, as the name suggests, is a ring worn on the cow's nose, the cow's nose is very sensitive, after putting on a ring, as long as the ring is pulled, the cow will feel very painful, and as long as the rope is tied to this ring, you can lead the cow's nose to plow the field."

"I see!"

After hearing Gao Ming's explanation, Cheng Yanjin suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.

"It's a good idea, why didn't anyone think of it in the first place? If we had thought earlier, then the tens of thousands of cattle we obtained when we defeated the Turks more than ten years ago would have long since become ploughing cattle, alas, alas! ”

Looking at Cheng Yanjin's look of pity, Gao Ming suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"Who told no one to think that this cow nose ring had it before, I was just picking up people's teeth, and not all grassland cattle can be trained to become ploughing cattle, only those calves that are about one year old and no more than two years old are suitable, as for the big ones, you can only try it!"

"Oh, that's right!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yanjin nodded, and pointed to Cheng Chuji and Cheng Chuliang next to him and reprimanded him.

"See? Usually Lao Tzu asks you to read more books, but you just don't listen, and now you don't even know a bull nose ring, I really raised you two wine bags and rice bags for nothing! ”

“……”

was scolded inexplicably, and the brothers Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chuliang felt a grievance in their hearts.

They obviously didn't do anything, but they didn't expect that now Cheng Yanjin could find such a high-sounding reason to scold them, and there was no one else.

The most important thing is what this bull nose ring is, I'm afraid that no one in the whole of Chang'an knows except for the prince in front of him, how can they know it?

But they also know Cheng Biting Jin's temper, if they talk back, I'm afraid it won't just be as simple as being scolded, so the two of them can only keep their heads down and bear Cheng Biting Jin's "fancy scolding".

"I think I, Cheng Biting Jin, am also a figure who stands up to the sky, how did I give birth to you two stupid sons who are not successful, and my reputation will be ruined in your hands!"

"I Cheng Biting Jin doesn't know what evil I created in my previous life, the Cheng family actually gave out this thing of yours, don't mention my name when you go out in the future, shame!"

"The family is unfortunate, I'm sorry!"

Looking at the Cheng brothers who were scolded so much that they couldn't lift their heads, Gao Ming could only silently sympathize with them, who let them have such an unreliable father?

Cheng Biting Jin scolded for a while before turning around with satisfaction, and then laughed at Gao Ming.

"Hahahaha, this bull nose ring that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is indeed a treasure, why don't you hand over this matter to me Lao Cheng, I promise to do it properly for you, what do you think, Your Royal Highness the Prince?"

"This ......"

After Gao Ming hesitated for a moment, he was about to speak, but before he could say anything, Cheng Yanjin suddenly stood up, and then roared at Cheng Chuji and Cheng Chuliang behind him.

"Why are you two standing here stupidly? Why don't you go to the kitchen and see if the dishes are ready, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already hungry? I don't have any eyes at all, I really raised you for nothing......"

While scolding, he punched and kicked Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chuliang, and only after the two of them ran away did he arch his hand towards Gao Ming apologetically.

"The dog is stupid, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smile, the food will be served soon, let's talk while eating, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will wait a minute, I will urge them again!"

After speaking, Cheng Yanjin ran away in a hurry, and when he saw this scene, Gao Ming suddenly showed a smile on his face.

"This Cheng bites gold, I don't know what to say about him."

Of course, Gao Ming can see that Cheng Yanjin is going to take some credit for the cow nose ring, because the difference between "bringing back 20,000 beef cattle" and "bringing back 20,000 cultivated cattle" is very different.

The former just won the war, so bringing back some loot belongs to the icing on the cake, while the meaning of the latter is to send charcoal in the snow!

Datang lacks cultivated cattle, this matter is on the table, everyone knows, so if Cheng Yanjin can turn these 20,000 grassland cattle, which were originally beef cattle, into cultivated cattle and bring them back to Datang, then this credit is no less than another victory, or even more than that!

The most important thing is that this credit is still exclusive and does not need to be shared with others!

Cheng Yanjin knew this very well, so at this moment, he decided that even if he dumped the scoundrel, he would let Gao Ming leave this matter to him!

And the most important thing is that Cheng Yanjin knows that with Gao Ming's current status, there is no shortage of this credit at all, so he feels that with his relationship with Gao Ming, it is not impossible to get this credit for nothing.

In order to make the plan smooth, Cheng Yanjin also specially instructed the two brothers, Cheng Chuji and Cheng Chuliang, and when it was time to eat, the father and son began to take turns with wine, putting on a posture of not getting Gao Ming drunk and not giving up.

Looking at this scene, Gao Ming once again showed a smile on his face.

"I said Uncle Cheng, and two Cheng brothers, we have already drunk three glasses of this wine in a row, even if it is not such a way to drink, let's eat some food first, and I still have something to say to Uncle Cheng!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chuliang suddenly subconsciously glanced at Cheng Yanjin, and found that the latter nodded, so they stopped, and then pretended to greet Gao Ming generously.

"It's our negligence, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you eat vegetables!"

"Come on, come on, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eat more!"

At this time, Cheng Yanjin also smiled at Gao Ming.

"Haha, it's been more than a year since the last time I drank with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the mansion, and after coming back from this expedition to Goguryeo, it's the first time we've sat together and drank like this, the old minister is too happy, so it's a little gaffe, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me!"

Cheng Yanjin's words seemed to be explaining to Gao Ming, but in fact he was telling Gao Ming, I took refuge in you a year ago, and this time I went to Goguryeo to fight and waited before and after the saddle, you should hand over this good errand to me in public and private, otherwise it would be too unrighteous.

Gao Ming is not the kind of chick who didn't understand anything at the beginning, of course he understood the meaning of Cheng Yanjin's words, so he couldn't cry and laugh again.

"This Cheng Biting Jin seems to be rough, but in fact, he can be thoughtful, who wants to treat him as a fool, who is the real fool!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming shook his head helplessly again, and then looked up at Cheng Yanjin.

"Uncle Cheng, in fact, my old man disagrees with this, and to put a nose ring on the cow, you have to make a hole in the cow's nose first, which seems a bit cruel, if you do it, I'm afraid you will be impeached at that time!"

Gao Ming said this, which means to tell Cheng Yanjin, although this matter is a credit, but it is also accompanied by a certain risk, how to choose to do it yourself!

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yanjin's smiling face suddenly became serious.
