Chapter 550: Rejoicing with the People

After assigning the person who pulls the plow and the person who holds the plow, Gao Ming let the four of them start plowing the field, and in the face of Gao Ming's order, the four of them did not dare to resist, and obediently began to plow the field.

The two officials who were covered with plow ropes bowed over and dragged the plough in front, probably strangled by the rope, both of them looked like they were grinning, and from time to time they turned their heads back to look at the two people who were plowing behind them with a resentful expression.

And the two people behind them were not to be outdone, and immediately glared back, and even one person spoke out on the spot.

"To see or not to see? Didn't you hear the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Pull it up! ”

Seeing his arrogant appearance, the two people pulling the plow became more and more angry, but they also knew that now was not the time to be willful, so they could only grit their teeth and turn their heads, and continue to drag the plow forward with difficulty.

Gao Ming stood on the ridge, watching the small movements of the four people, and his heart was suddenly happy, but his face showed a very emotional look.

"Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowed his head and was willing to be a son of a cow, this is a model of my Datang officials, come, everyone applaud them with me!"

After speaking, Gao Ming took the lead in applauding.

Under his leadership, the officials, attendants, and onlookers standing next to him soon applauded with him.

Suddenly, a thunderous applause rang out, and it took a while to subside.

When the applause gradually began to weaken, Gao Ming turned around and raised his hands towards the crowd, and when he saw his hand, the people who were clapping stopped moving, and the people who were talking also remained silent.

Seeing that everything around was quiet, Gao Ming nodded, and then smiled and opened his mouth to everyone.

"Folks, this time we are here to experiment whether grassland cattle can plow the fields, and the result is as you just saw, as long as the cow nose ring is set, the grassland cattle can also plow the fields, so you can rest assured, we Datang will not be short of ploughing cattle in the future!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the people present were stunned at first, and then began to cheer excitedly.

"Great, in the future, my family's field can also be cultivated with cows!"

"Yes, yes, and with the ploughing oxen, we can also cultivate more land and harvest more grain!"

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

Looking at the cheering people, Gao Ming and Li Shimin glanced at each other, and both of them saw a look of joy in each other's eyes.

For Li Shimin, he gained considerable prestige this time, and as long as the four officials in the field ploughed the field for one more day, it would be equivalent to giving him one more day of propaganda and allowing him to gain more prestige.

It can be said that it is like spending other people's efforts to earn his own prestige, and for Li Shimin, this time his "show" can be said to be a complete success.

For Gao Ming, although he didn't get any exact benefits this time, he was able to solve the trouble smoothly and avoid worries, which is also a happy thing.

And the four of his people who came out to provoke this time are now all working in the fields in embarrassment, and their prestige has also been improved to a certain extent, if anyone wants to deal with him next time, they naturally have to weigh whether their own weight is enough.

But Gao Ming didn't think about it that much, listening to the cheers of the people around him, he suddenly grinned.

While laughing, he waved his hand at a few Qianniu guards behind him.

"Go and cut up the dead cow in the field and give it to the people around you, so that every one of them can get it!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Gao Ming's order, the four thousand oxen guards immediately walked forward, and then drew their sabers and began to disassemble the steppe cattle that had been killed before.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people suddenly fell silent, and many people's eyes showed doubts.

Naturally, everyone's expressions couldn't escape Gao Ming's eyes, looking at their puzzled looks, Gao Ming raised his hands again and shouted to the people around him.

"Folks, my Tang royal family has always pursued the principle of sharing sorrow with the people, and rejoicing with the people, today everyone gathers here is fate, in the holy mouth, this cow will be distributed to everyone, everyone is lined up in two teams to receive beef, don't mess up, everyone has it!"

Because of the lack of cattle in the Tang Dynasty, it is strictly forbidden to slaughter cattle, and those who slaughter cattle without permission will be punished very severely, and the most serious may be beheaded, which can be said to be similar to the key protected animals in later generations.

Many people have never even eaten beef in their lives, so now when they heard that Gao Ming was ready to give them beef, the people present cheered excitedly again.

"Can you eat beef? That's great! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Listening to the cheers around him, Gao Ming grinned again, and by the way, he raised his eyebrows at Li Shimin on the side, looking at his expression, it seemed to be saying.

"Hey! See how I did? ”

Li Shimin also understood Gao Ming's intention to invite merit, and suddenly snorted lightly, glanced at him, and seemed to respond.

"So-so, don't be too proud of this little thing!"

When Gao Ming and Li Shimin's father and son made eye contact, the four thousand cow guards had already peeled off the skin of the cow, revealing the red beef, and the people also sent two long columns according to Gao Ming's instructions before, and everyone turned their eyes to Gao Ming, waiting for him to speak

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming also knew that the time had come, and he immediately waved his hand.

"Start distributing beef, let the people in, and the guards pay attention to maintaining order!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, the soldiers immediately opened an opening and let the people in line in, and the four thousand cow guards who were in charge of shaving cattle before also began to quickly cut the beef.

The meat cut by the Qianniu guards is very small, because Gao Ming said before that every person present must have it, and now there are more than 1,000 people present, and this grassland cow is only about 900 catties.

In order to ensure that everyone has it, the Qianniuwei naturally don't give much, generally less than half a catty, and some people even give a bone without much meat.

However, the cheers of the people did not stop, and everyone who got the beef bowed in the direction of Gao Ming and Li Shimin, and those with children also let the children kneel and kowtow to them.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming smiled at Li Shimin again.

"How's it going, old man? Didn't come in vain this time? ”

"Hmm!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin suddenly smiled and nodded.

"It is true that it was not in vain, the land was not ploughed in vain, and the cattle were not killed in vain!"

Looking at Li Shimin, who was delighted, Gao Ming also showed a smile on his face.

"After today, your reputation for sharing the sufferings with the people and rejoicing with the people will spread, how is it worth it? That's great value! As the main planner, you're not going to say anything? ”

As he spoke, Gao Mingji raised his eyebrows at Li Shimin, with an expression of "You should understand what I mean".

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's face suddenly fell, he first glared at Gao Ming, then sat on his own step, and then waved his hand.

"Let's drive back to the palace!"

“……”

Looking at Li Shimin, who was not in agreement, Gao Ming suddenly opened his mouth in astonishment, but he didn't say anything.
