Chapter 17: Flowers or Bread

Of course, Jieli can't be caught. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Kang Sumi and Yang Zhengdao opened the city gate, let the Flying Tiger Army in, and raided the Turkic Central Tent, the old fox-like Jieli had already broken through with his henchmen, and soon left Dingxiang City and fled in the direction of Tieshan overnight.

Outside the gate of Dingxiang City, Li Jing specially demarcated a large blank area, rows of Turkic heads, erected by people with wooden poles, rivers of blood flowed on the ground, and flies surrounded the black clouds in clusters, turning around this area.

When Bai Qi passed through this area, he endured it for two days and finally couldn't hold it anymore, bent down and vomited so much that he vomited out the yellow bile, tears flowed all over his face, and disgust was written on his face.

"Is it inhumane for Mr. Li to do this?" White asked Lu Fengxian.

Lu Fengxian first glanced at Bai Qi in surprise, and then asked funny: "These Turks have invaded the land of our Central Plains every year in the past, burning, killing and looting everywhere they went, doing all kinds of evil, making them mourn everywhere, and now they are just killing a few Turks." Humanitarian? War, does it need humanity? ”

White was silent, this short period of time was something he had never experienced before, the tragedy of the war and the tragedy of the heroic death, which made him think about many things that he had never thought of before.

When Li Jing invaded Dingxiang City, Wan Xu assisted Yang Zhengdao to control most of the area in the city, so the entire Dingxiang City did not have the dilapidated appearance of the siege battle, but due to the martial law order after Li Jing entered the city, there were very few pedestrians in Dingxiang City, only teams of Tang Army patrolling the streets.

In the city of Dingxiangcheng, Li Jing was standing in the lobby, discussing the next march plan with the rest of the generals, and Wei Chi Jingde walked in from outside.

"Chief, the last general is back!"

Li Jing raised his head, stepped forward and said with great joy: "Thank you for your hard work!" How are the rest of the soldiers? ”

"More than half of the casualties remained, and only more than a thousand remnants remained!" Wei Chi Jingde's swarthy face was a little unnatural.

There was silence in the lobby, and Li Jing silently patted Wei Chi Jingde on the shoulder.

"Where's the windsong?" Li Jing asked.

"He said he was going to go to the place where the wounded soldiers were healed and see if there was anything he could do to help." Wei Chi Jingde grinned: "But that kid himself was injured, and I see that he is also in the way when he comes here, so let that Lu Feng accompany him first, lest this kid make any moths." ”

"He's complaining about me!" Li Jing sighed and said.

At this time, in the wounded soldier's room, a group of people were gathered in a circle to watch Bai Qi there, and Bai Qi was holding a needle in his hand, sewing the belly of a soldier with a cracked stomach little by little like sewing clothes.

In the huge wounded room, quietly, there was not even a sound of gasping for breath, and the eyes of individuals were looking at the needle and thread in the white chess hand.

Bai cut the sheep intestines, let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and washed his hands in the clean water in the basin next to him.

The military doctor stepped forward and touched the wounded's forehead, then gently touched the sewn belly with his hand, and finally took a pulse, looked at Bai Qi and exclaimed: "General Bai is really a god!" ”

God? Is it okay to be a mortal yourself? If it is a god, he fought against the Turks before, and buried all the Turks with a move of mountains and reclamation, so how can he still use it to help the wounded now.

Despite the hot eyes of the people next to him, after Bai Qi taught the military doctor how to make sheep intestines and what things to pay attention to when stitching up the wound, he dragged Lu Fengxian and hurriedly rushed out of the wounded room.

"Don't look at me like that again, even though you're older than me, I'll still beat you!" Bai Qi looked at Lu Fengxian with a very bad look.

"What does it feel like to be adored by a bunch of people?" Lu Fengxian's handsome face was light and light, and Bai Qi once again controlled the desire to slap him in the face.

"It feels like a monkey playing with a whole bunch of people watching!" Holding a straw in his mouth, White said as he walked.

"If you selflessly impart this knowledge to them, you will save many people in the future."

"That's what you don't understand!" Bai Qi sighed, Wen can't do it, Wu doesn't seem to be good, the only thing he is useful in this Tang Dynasty seems to be the knowledge of this body and a half bucket of water.

Walking out of the barracks and down a few streets, White Chess stood in front of a two-story building, inside which a fat man was directing his men to carry goods.

Lu Feng first looked left and right, this shop was the largest on this street, and it was also opened by a Tang Dynasty merchant: "Did you come here intentionally or unintentionally?" ”

"Hey, hey, guess!" Bai Qi ignored Lu Fengxian's expression behind him, and walked towards the fat man in the store with a smile.

The fat man was sweating profusely and directing his men to transport the last box of goods back, when he suddenly saw two Tang people walking in, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted him with a standard smile of a businessman: "What do the two military masters want to buy, or do you want someone to send something back to Chang'an?" ”

"You know we're soldiers?" White asked curiously.

"Hehe, now that martial law is under law in Dingxiang City, people in the city rarely come out, and only my soldiers from Datang will have time to walk on the streets."

"Smart, I like smart people, especially fat people!" White gives a thumbs up to the fat man.

"Then what do you two need me to do?" Yan Fatzi wiped his palms and said with a smile.

"Yan Fatty, I want to do business with you!" White looked at the fat man, and there was a strange light in his eyes.

"Oh, what kind of business?" Hearing the word business, the fat man's eyes began to shine.

Bai Qi took the fat man Yan Qian and Lu Fengxian to an open place, where the horses, cows, sheep and other livestock that died last night were piled up.

Bai Qi asked Lu Feng to return his dagger first, stepped forward, kicked the guy who was about to talk to him away, squatted down, and began to dissect a horse.

Bloodletting, cutting the meat, deboning, cutting the meat into large squares, piercing small holes in the horse's meat with sharpened wooden strips, taking the salt next to it, rubbing it repeatedly on the meat, skin side down, meat side up, then put it in a basin, as it is done, put all the meat together, wash a stone, and press it on top of the meat.

"See, this is the business I'm going to do with you!" After doing a good demonstration, White washed his hands and got up and walked to the fat man.

"How to trade?" The fat man looked at the livestock stacked high, and his body was swinging. After the processing of the young military master in front of him, these originally useless livestock will continue to enter Chang'an City and become a new dish for Chang'an people.

The fat man didn't doubt White's words, what he needed now was a promise from the little military master in front of him, and how much he could earn in it.

"You see, there are so many dead livestock, to make bacon, in addition to the process just now, it has to go through continuous drying, and finally it can become a delicacy that can be on the table of Chang'an people." Bai Qi glanced at the fat man and continued: "I will obtain the right to use these livestock for you, and all you have to pay is to ask the Tang soldiers to do these works for you, and pay them!" ”

As soon as the fat man was about to speak, White continued: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that there were more horses that died last night! ”

The fat man went back, this business was an adventure for him that he had never had before, and he had to go back and think about it.

Lu Fengxian looked at the white chess pieces and said seriously: "You shouldn't be so impulsive and make your own decisions!" ”

"Li Jing killed all the Turkic captives and set up a head formation outside Dingxiang City, isn't he afraid that he will be overpowered? I'll help him again! ”

"What's in it for you to do that?"

"At least I can give this money to those sacrificed and crippled soldiers, Datang is very poor now, and there is no extra money and food to feed this group of people." White was lying on the haystack, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, surprisingly calm.

He came from a later life, and he couldn't get used to this kind of thing of running out of people, giving them a few pennies or a few exciting words to send them away, even if this kind of thing was common here. Datang is poor now, so it's up to him to compensate for them.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will participate in your copy?" Lu Fengxian stood next to him and said.

"The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes! Besides, I'm not going to be demagogues! Even if someone joins me, what are you afraid of, I'm still just a civilian, okay? White said exaggeratedly, laughing as he spoke.

Then it was dark overhead.

"Who's in my way?" Bai Qi was very angry, and then saw Li Jing's old handsome face, and there was a black face of Yu Chi Jingde behind him.

Bai Qi immediately jumped up, and Lu Fengxian was standing there next to them with low eyebrows, damn, Lu Fengxian, this Diao people want to harm me!

"Mr. Li!" Don't care about anything, first lower your posture like a daughter-in-law.

Li Jing let out a cold snort, looked at the young man in front of him who bowed his head and listened to his ears, and said, "I heard that you were very majestic when you were in the Evil Yang Ridge, saying that the old man hid in the arms of the woman in the Qinglou and didn't come out?" ”

Bai Qi doesn't speak, he can't admit it, who knows what shoes Li Jing will wear for himself!

"This is also a trivial matter, after all, the old man did not give you any support, causing you heavy casualties, it is normal to have this resentment!" Li Jing continued.

Manager Li is still quite reasonable, Bai Qi looked up, saw Li Jing's dead face, and was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.

"But what's the matter with you bringing in a cheap merchant and collecting money for you?" Li Jing's words were very low, and he was very angry.

In the distance, two soldiers dragged Yan Fatzi over.

"The old man has never been a person who has ever messed up military discipline, if you don't make it clear, the old man will reproach His Majesty, and he will behead you under the horse today!"

Bai Qi looked at the fat man who was crying over there, and smiled bitterly, he looked at Li Jing, and there was a breath in his chest, "Chief, Fengqu wants to ask, is there a compensity for those soldiers who died in the Evil Yang Ridge?" ”

"Absolutely!"

"How much? How long is it for their family? ”

"The imperial court has its own measure!"

"It's a good measure!" Bai Qi opened Lu Fengxian's hand secretly, and asked coldly: "Then for the soldiers who are crippled in this war, can the imperial court take care of them?" ”

"Of course!"

"How much? Can they live a stable life in the future? ”

"Enough!" Li Jing was furious.

"Chief, Your Majesty has been on the throne for three years, in the first year, Guanzhong is hungry, and the rice bucket is straight and silk; In two years, the locusts of the world; Three years, big water. Your Majesty is diligent and thrifty, the first in the world, and my Tang people are the most simple, and there are no complaints so far. However, people can't go hungry all their lives, and if they are hungry for a long time, they will rebel! ”

"Bai Fengqu, you are bold!" Wei Chi Jingde's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to cover Bai Qi's mouth.

"Jingde, let him continue!" Li Jing's face was calm, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

"These Datang soldiers, they were born and died for the country, sacrificing their lives for benevolence, Datang should give them the best reward, and anyone will say passionate words, but these can't cure the stomach, and they also need real silver food, so that they can have more confidence in their hearts, so that their families will have something to support the old and the young, and such an army is my Datang's victorious army!" Bai Qi gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Li Jing: "Today, I implore the manager to let the kid be presumptuous once!" ”

"So, you will find a merchant to help you make these dead war horses, cattle and sheep into what you call bacon, and sell them to the people of Chang'an, the purpose is to pay the soldiers?"

"Yes!" White bows his head.

"The people of Chang'an are also the people of the Tang Dynasty, so you just talk to them?"

White is silent, and it is not good to say anything at this time.

"Remember, I will let people pick out the good breed horses, and you must not touch the cattle and sheep raised in captivity on the ranch! If I hear a soldier disagree with the price you offered, I will execute you as well!" After a long time, Li Jing's voice came from a distance.

Bai Qi looked up and only saw Li Jing's lonely figure.

"Alas, what a hurry!" Wei Chi Jingde pulled the white chess pieces up, wiped away the tears from his face for him, and sighed, with a happy smile on his face.

"Uncle Wei Chi, Fengqu is too impulsive this time!"

"Actually, the pharmacist also has his own troubles! Boy, you have to thank him! Yu Chi Jingde patted Bai Qi's shoulder and laughed happily: "Boy, let go and do your thing!" ”

Over there, Yan Fatzi crawled over from the ground crying and hugged Bai Qi's thigh: "I'm scared to death!" ”

"Then you still have to do this business?" White kicked the fat man away, and the guy was so scared that his pants were wet.

"Do! Why not! I'm going to make this business bigger! The fat man wiped away his tears, immediately stood up, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely
