…

There was still a short distance from the barn field, and Zhang Shi and the three of them smelled a strong smell of meat.

"It's sauce beef, Uncle Nine's craftsmanship!"

When Zhang Shi's mind was neutral, he remembered the delicious meal he had mixed with Fang La.

When he came to the barnyard, Zhang Shi saw at a glance the four large iron pots in the middle of the barn, and the fragrance that made his saliva flow was overflowing from two of the big iron pots.

Not only that, He Jiu and a few others were still using two other big iron pots to brand oil cakes.

The oil cake was browned and bright with oil, and at first glance, I didn't put a lot of oil in it.

This is a good thing that only Fang Youchang's family can eat.

At this moment, almost everyone gathered around the four big iron pots, staring at the beef and oil cakes in the pot and holding their saliva, while discussing how delicious the beef and oil cakes were.

Zhang Shi and the three of them quickly squeezed into the crowd and asked, "You killed a cow?" It's too tyrannical! ”

Niu Mengtou did not reply: "The Lord said, we are weak and need to eat more meat to recover our strength, and the livestock we got from Master Fang's family, except for mules and horses, must be eaten within ten days." ”

Zhang Shi's face was full of shock: "If you have a lot of livestock on the ground and eat it up in ten days, then you can't slip your intestines?" ”

Niu Meng smacked his big yellow teeth: "If you are so worried, I will help you eat your share of meat, how about it?" ”

"No, the intestines are pulled out, and I have no regrets!" Zhang Shi hurriedly said.

Niu Meng snorted, and said: "The lord also appointed Uncle Nine to be the head of the gang, this pot and pan, a few barrels of sesame oil, a few cars of side dishes, and that pile of spices, which Uncle Nine bought from the Monkey Trinity gang, cost a full hundred taels, and those who killed a thousand knives are too black-hearted, and they are not afraid of folding their longevity!" ”

(At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ratio of gold and silver was maintained at the level of 1 tael of gold greater than or equal to 10 taels of silver, this book is calculated according to 1:10, and the ratio of silver and copper coins is about 1 tael is about equal to 1 tael (缗), this book is calculated according to 1:1, and the Northern Song Dynasty official set 1 guan (缗) copper coin as 770 Wen, and this book is also calculated according to this number.)

In addition, at this time, 1 guan (缗) was equivalent to about 300 yuan in later generations. With the advent of the war, the value of money will be greatly depreciated, and after the shame of Jingkang, it will be equivalent to about 80 yuan to 120 yuan in later generations. ）

If one hundred taels of silver are placed in the future generations, it will be 30,000 yuan!

A bunch of pots and pans, a few buckets of sesame oil, a few carts of seasonal vegetables, plus some spices, is definitely not worth so much money.

It's no wonder that Niu Meng scolded the monkey three and they were black-hearted.

Zhang Shiye echoed painfully: "Pots and pans are available in all families, borrow some, although the sesame oil is fragrant, you can also fry some lard and butter, why buy these?" ”

didn't want to, but Niu Meng said for Li Cun: "The lord is a character who takes one step and thinks ten steps, and the decision he makes, which one can you and I criticize?" ”

Zhang Shi glanced at Niu Meng, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and did not continue the topic, but asked, "Zihou, why don't you see him here?" ”

Niu Meng didn't raise his head, and replied: "The head of the garden told the lord that he knew where the ash rod of the secret species outside Master Fang was, and he took the lord over to check it." ”

In the lacquer garden, there is generally a garden director, a husband and a subordinate officials (Ling, Cheng, Zuo), and many apprentices, with a lot of people and a clear division of labor.

Even if the director is the professional manager of the lacquer garden, he is responsible for everything from the planting of lacquer trees to the harvesting of lacquer.

Fang Youchang's lacquer garden director is named Fang Wuji, who is Fang Youchang's cousin and a landed talent.

When Fang La and others killed Fang Youchang's family, Fang Wuji was not in Fang Youchang's house, so he could get away with it.

Afterwards, Fang Wuji decisively seized the only chance to survive, that is, he followed Niu Meng to join Li Cun's group of rebels.

As soon as Zhang Shiyi heard that Li Cun and Fang Wuji were leaving, he hurriedly said: "How can you let Zihou go with Fang Wuji, Fang Wuji is Fang Youchang's cousin, in case ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Shi to finish his worries, Niu Meng interrupted Zhang Shidao: "I sent Niu Wei and Zhang Datie to go with the lord, don't worry, I know better than you that once the lord encounters an accident, it will be the end of our wait." ”

Niu Wei is Niu Meng's younger brother, and his martial arts are not much worse than Niu Meng, while Zhang Da Tie is a blacksmith, and his body is not under Niu Meng.

With such two people protecting Li Cun, who is strong in martial arts, Zhang Shi is still relatively relieved.

But Zhang Shi still said: "I should go together, how many ash rods can the four of them get back?" ”

"I also suggested it to the lord, but the lord said that the emperor would not send hungry soldiers, and it would not be too late to fetch the ash rod when I was full." Niu Meng said meaningfully.

"Emperor?"

Hearing the accent in Niu Meng's words, Zhang Shi's heart moved: "Li Zihou also wants to be the emperor?" ”

Zhang Shi looked at Niu Meng.

Niu Meng opened his mouth and smiled, and almost said: "Fang Thirteen, that villager can dream of being an emperor, why can't Li Cun, a heroic man who convinces my Niu Meng?" ”

Zhang Shi fell into deep thought......

Soon after, Li Cun returned with Fang Wuji, Niu Wei and Zhang Datie.

Zhang Shi hurriedly greeted him: "The bread and meat have been obtained, just waiting for Zihou to return." ”

Li Cun was not hypocritical, and said bluntly: "The bread and meat are enough, everyone is open to eat." ”

The people, who were already hungry, immediately cheered and went to grab oil cakes and beef when they heard that Li Cun was so reasonable.

Li Cun saw it and smiled slightly!

The predecessors of our army have long summarized that good food can top half of the instructor.

Li Cun, who is well acquainted with the history of our army, naturally wants to carry forward this valuable experience.

Zhang Shi helped Li Cun bring two oil cakes and a big bowl of beef, and asked, "What about the ash rod?" ”

"Yes, there are 2,000 of them, and they are all good materials for more than ten years."

Speaking of this, Li Cun said loudly to everyone: "I will wait until I am full of food and drink, and then work hard to get all the ash rods back." ”

Everyone replied, "No! ”

Then Li Cun said to the other party Wuji while eating: "Yuan Chang Fang, I will appoint you as Gong Cao, responsible for inspecting and recording merits, are you willing?" ”

Fang Wuji can manage such a large lacquer garden, Li Cun believes that he should be able to take on the position of Gong Cao.

Moreover, Fang Wuji helped Li Cun get more than 2,000 ash rods, and Li Cun couldn't help but reward them.

Fang Wuji has read books and knows Gong Cao, also known as Gong Cao History, and the Qin Dynasty has this official position, such as Pei County Gong Cao, surnamed Xiao Minghe.

The key is that as long as Fang Wuji serves as Gong Cao, his net worth and life can be completely saved.

Therefore, Fang Wuji immediately bowed to the ground and said loudly: "The lower official respectfully obeys the orders of the lord!" ”

Li Cun didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Then you can count everyone's achievements today, and then draw up a military salary that includes the base salary and reward system to show me, huh...... Military salaries should be combined with money, food, and meat......"

Hearing Li Cun's words, everyone with ears pricked up on the side was full of joy.

Although there are Chang family copying Fang today, and there are lucky people like Monkey San who served Fang Youchang's kitchen with a pot, and they also encountered an unjust boss like Li Cun and sold it at a high price, but the vast majority of the low-level rebels who did not follow their feet actually did not copy many things.

Things of high value such as gold and silver are basically monopolized by the core members of the rebel army and their descendants, and the rest of the more than 1,000 people, what they copy depends on luck.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to grab a few buckets of rice, a few pieces of cloth, and a few clothes.

If you are unlucky, you will be able to pick up tables, chairs and benches for miscellaneous use, and even more may not be able to catch a single hair.

It's like in Li Cun, where money, food and meat are divided, and all fathers, mothers, wives and children can be stained with light.

Really!

After everyone had taken back all the more than 2,000 ash rods, Li Cun gave everyone at least two taels of silver, two catties of beef, and one stone of grain.

These are all real rewards, the kind that can immediately improve the status of the family when you take it home.

Moreover, Li Cun also said that tomorrow let them bring all their family members over, assign things to their families to do, and pay them according to merit.

There is just one thing, Li Cun specially explained that all the beef he brought back today must be eaten in the pot, otherwise there will be no more meat......
