As soon as Li Xiao's words fell, there was a "buzz" and "buzz" sound below. Peeling the skin and grass, this thing was done by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor. After him, basically no one has done it.

Unexpectedly, today I saw the peeling grass again.

In the sound of "buzz" and "buzz", more than a dozen big men came out of the crowd. In the screams of Director Yang and Master Chef, they were hung on the prepared shelves. Director Yang and the chief bookkeeper, as well as those pen posts, are going crazy.

They never thought that it was just an impostor. It's actually going to be peeled!

Li Xiao is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he has no authority to do so. But no one dared to stop Li Xiao from doing this, and even Lu Xiangsheng could only watch with a blank face. He is a marshal, a marshal of the Liao army.

For the next two hours, blood, screams, red muscles, and colorful internal organs continued to attack the visual nerves of the officials.

Miserable! It's not your average miserable! Everyone was trembling after seeing it, and it wasn't one or two who were scared to pee their pants because of something in their hearts.

This is not a stab to death and then skinned, but skinned alive.

The sharp peeling knife peeled off the skin little by little, revealing the dark red muscles inside. The executioners smeared a special secret medicine on the wound, which had a certain analgesic effect in addition to the hemostatic function. These people have to be alive after they have been skinned.

As a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation, they are very craftsmen.

Two hours passed, and every man who was hung with a miserable wail had a fairly intact skin by his side. And the man who lost his skin is still alive, but apparently has lost much strength. The screams became weaker and weaker, and finally it seemed to be "humming" a song.

No one was interested in talking, and the room of several thousand people was eerily quiet. The cold wind blew, and the dark red body swayed. The human skin rags next to him fluttered in the wind, like flags.

Occasionally, those dark red bodies would writhe twice like maggots. Their current appearance is really difficult to compare with the great living people two hours ago.

"They are the first, but definitely not the last. Ladies and gentlemen! I really don't want you guys to be hung on this shelf. I've heard of a method of burying people in the dirt with only one head exposed.

Then make an opening in the middle of the human head and pour mercury into it. After that, you will get more and more itchy, and when you itch, you will feel that your side is slippery. Then you will come out of your own skin, and such a person is said to live for three days before dying. Li Xiao paused, his eyes scanning the thousands of faces.

"If I hear about corruption again, some of you will die like this. Again, I don't want you to end up like this. It's a long time in a lifetime, be a man in your duty, do things in your duty, don't stretch out your hand! You can watch your sons do their deeds, and you can watch your grandsons babble.

You can doze off on a sunny afternoon while reminiscing about your past in this life. Instead of hanging on the shelf, being admired as a baby. After Li Xiao finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Those skinners hurriedly put away the skins, and they had to do a tour all over Shandong.

The officials were about to disperse in a hurry, when suddenly an even more shocking scene appeared.

I don't know where a few mastiffs came from, and these big dogs bared their teeth and rushed like crazy to the people hanging on the shelves. The sound of wild dogs grabbing food was very scary, and thousands of people just watched the big dogs bite. Not a single person spoke, not even exclaimed.

The dark red bodies struggled violently like fish on the shore, but the flesh on their bodies was still torn off piece by piece. Seeing that no one cared, the bold crow fell. He began to pick up minced meat on the ground and eat it, and the more daring ones fell on his head and pecked at his black eyes.

"Severe punishment! This is good! When Zhang Huangyan heard the news, he just smiled.

As an old guy who has become a human spirit, he understands human nature in his bones.

The greatest effect of punishment is deterrence!

When the stakes are big enough, the deterrent effect of beheading is no longer enough to curb people's hearts. Then this kind of torture and killing has become a necessary means, and a thousand cuts are just a conventional means in the art of torture and killing.

Li Xiao's method of peeling was very good, and it could not only play an extraordinary educational role at that time. Moreover, the skin of these people can also be stored for a long time to warn future generations to exert residual heat.

I believe that after these skins have been cruising around Shandong, it is estimated that no one will dare to make a mistake. Especially about veterans of the Liao Army! After all, no one wants to be skinned and then fed to a dog while they are still alive.

In the future, the neighbor will ask your descendants where your father is buried! It can't be said that the dog's belly is built in the funeral shed, and the dog ** is out of the funeral.

"I didn't think about it so much, I just thought that the interests of the Liao army could not be infringed upon by this group of unscrupulous people. The soldiers shed blood and sweat on the front line, and they had to shed tears when they were wounded and discharged, and I Li Xiao couldn't do it. "Military thinking, let Li Xiao stand in the position of a soldier to speak.

"With a general like you who is worthy of his subordinates, there are soldiers who can serve the death on the battlefield. The Liao army's combat power is unparalleled, and you account for a large reason. But you are so piecemeal, you can only say that you are doing it one by one.

Now we have a good territory in Guanzhong, Liaodong, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangsu. Counting up, there is also half of Liaodong. If it's all checked out by you one by one, it can exhaust you to death. Where do you have time to command the war, and how can you have time to deal with government affairs with Sun Lao? ”

“……！” Li Xiao was speechless, he was a soldier, and his thinking was naturally a soldier. Fighting wars is Li Xiao's forte, and he is not good at handling court affairs and playing politics. Those who can command the soldiers on the horse and govern the people are very rare. At least, Li Xiao is not such a talent.

"This court! You have to have a system, what is a system? It's a one-size-fits-all solution, and I think yours is a good one. In the future, all those who impersonate the places for the discharge of disabled servicemen will be stripped of their skins and passed on to the public office to warn future generations. ”

"yes, that's it." Li Xiao immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's time for someone like the Imperial Inspector! The current Imperial Court Metropolitan Procuratorate is a virtual entity, and it looks like it should be rectified. The old man felt that he should discuss it with Sun Lao. Is it for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to exchange two imperial histories! ”

"Two for two?" Now the left and right capitals of the Imperial Court are two friends of Sun Chuanting, one of whom is the famous Hou Xun. This kind of idol-type character, Li Xiao is still more respectful.

"Hou Xun and Chen Hongtai are both old officials, and they can't hold on to them like glass beads. These two positions need to be done by someone who is not afraid of tigers with newborn calves. The old man felt that Zheng Sen and Wu Ciyou should be suitable candidates.

The old man heard that when there was a plague in the capital. The marshal organized the Patriotic Guardian Association, and these two people were definitely of great use in killing. The old man thinks that it is good to be born after these two young people. Zhang Huangyan recommended Zheng Sen and Wu Ciyou, which made Li Xiao a little unexpected.

"Isn't it too young?" Zheng Sen is only sixteen years old this year, and Wu Ciyou is only twenty-one years old. Wu Ciyou is better, Zheng Sen is also the age of a junior high school graduate.

"It's not okay if you're not young! mixed with the old fritters, they didn't work hard. You expect them to offend people, in the next life! Zhang Huangyan knows too well how smooth those old fritters who have been mixed for a long time are. Now the court is in charge of government affairs is Sun Chengzong, and Li Xiao's political skills are not enough compared to them.

"Well, then I'll send a letter to Elder Sun to talk about this." Li Xiao nodded, after all, Zheng Sen was his student. Sixteen years old is young, but it's time to wrestle. After all, the eagle must be beaten to soar into the sky!

Seven days later, the Third Division went to attack Yangzhou, and the old fisherman complained that the newly formed gunpowder workshop was not efficient. Ammunition, I'm afraid it can only be prioritized by the third division. The old man gave Cao Wenzhao eighty batches of ammunition, and Ao Ye wanted to come to the old man to fight in the ring. You have to take care of this for the old man, otherwise Ao Ye will lose his temper, and the old man's bones are not enough for him to toss. Zhang Huangyan smiled helplessly.

There are two famous thorns in the Liao army, Man Ye and Ao Ye. It's all characters who have a headache when they see it! In addition to selling Li Xiao's face, he was honest in front of Sun Chengzong.

Mao Wenlong is an example, Ao Ye went to Shanhaiguan. Mao Wenlong hid in the capital, and Ao Ye arrived in the capital. Mao Wenlong hurried back to Shanhaiguan, but he didn't want to meet with Ao Ye.

The human spirit Zhang Huangyan naturally did not want to face these two guys who hated ghosts.

"Ao Ye has arrived in Jinan?"

"It should be coming soon, you have to take care of the old man. The old man was going to Huangdao, and the second master said that he wanted to build a military port there. ”

"Oh! Huangdao, where the location is good. To defend the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, a military port should also be built. I used to be poor, but now that I have spare money in my hand, I should get two good ships for the second child. Li Xiao remembered that Li Xiu had written several times, asking Li Xiao to get him a few useful boats. Five five-masted ships alone and a few small boats are simply not enough to control the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. Not to mention, now Li Xiu's defense area has also increased the East China Sea.

The pressure on the shoulders of this second master is also very great.

From ancient times to the present, one of the characteristics of the navy is to burn money. If you don't have money and want to play the navy, you're dreaming.

In the past, the money in Li Xiao's hands was stretched, and it was impossible to have rich money to build warships for Li Xiu. Li Xiu could only rely on a few captured warships and some small boats to control the vast sea area. On a windy day, everyone had to stay in the harbor, and few ships could go to sea.

Last year, Shandong divided its land, and the enthusiasm of the broad masses of the people for labor increased unprecedentedly. Plus the widespread cultivation of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes. Grain production has more than doubled, much stronger than in the past.

The people of Shandong finally tasted the sweetness of being able to eat three meals a day. Li Xiao went to the farm and saw a child with a tooth gnawing on potatoes. The smiling old man is drinking big rice porridge, and the strong guy is holding a stick and eating it. Li Xiao's heart was full of joy!

5,000 years! This people has been hungry for 5,000 years, and it is poignant to say. The famous rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, when the average life expectancy of the Chinese nation did not exceed forty years old.

Walking in the countryside and villages, Li Xiao hardly saw the elderly over sixty years old. The spirit of a fifty-year-old man is worse than that of an eighty-year-old man in later generations.

If you think about it with your buttocks, you will know that half a year of grain and half a year of wild vegetables. The bowl was full of green goo, and I ate it for at least a few months a year. A lot of wild vegetables are poisonous, and over the years, how strong you have to be if you want to live a long life.

People live for seventy years! Thinking about this sentence, Li Xiao's heart is dripping blood, our most industrious and tenacious nation in the world has become rare since ancient times to live past the age of seventy.

This is the injustice of God!

How good it is now, there are no more children in the streets and alleys. The half-sized boy who is as strong as a calf runs like crazy, and no matter how strong a man is hit by them, he will be knocked on his head.

The grain harvest was unprecedented, and the villagers naturally began the most primitive natural economy.

The official family collected the extra grain from the villagers' homes, and the villagers, who had had spare money for many years, their first reaction was to buy two pigs. The first meaning of "home" is that there is a pig under the house. Don't even take advantage of a pig, and dare to say that it's home?

Of course, another use of pigs is to save money.

Many farmers buried their money in the pigsty based on the experience passed down from generation to generation. Now the pigsty of the farmers is a heavily guarded land, as long as the pigsty in the pigsty hums, there will be a big man with a dung fork jumping out to fight you to the death.

There are also some clever people who know that eggs can be sold for money in the city. It's shelf-stable! So, these guys with good brains started the idea of raising chickens. You can't eat too much, but eggs can be sold for a lot of money a year. What a shortcut to getting rich!

The most direct consequence of the bumper harvest is the accumulation of all kinds of grain in the warehouses of the official office. There are cars on the official road all day long, pulling grain from Shandong and Hebei to Shanxi, and also to Central Henan.

Those places were plagued by war, and then plagued. The lives of the common people are miserable, and these grains are life-saving food for them.
