Chapter 61 The righteous word is the head of Liang Laoba
Liang Baoyu's Thunder Battalion has too much baggage and troublesome transportation, which has always been criticized by everyone.
Datang's newly developed eight-bull crossbow with rockets is a combat method, not to mention the big head soldiers, and even the officers at the grassroots level do not have a clear concept.
Those who are qualified to observe the gunpowder weapons experiments of the Ministry of Industry, after all, there are only a few, and the small-scale experimental actual combat is even less likely to have a great impact in this era of backward means of communication.
Moreover, rockets that belong to flammable and explosive materials, whether they are transported or stored, all have strict specifications, and three days after the entire Northern Route Army arrived in Shuofang, all kinds of materials of the Thunder Battalion were disassembled and stored in special warehouses.
"The use of barbed wire and horseshoes has already made the Turks taste the bitterness, and I really look forward to the performance of rockets on the battlefield!"
"Uncle Niu, there will be a chance, the little nephew feels that the rocket will definitely bring an unforgettable surprise to the Turks!"
Lao Niu is now the highest military commander of Shuofang, and Liang Baoyu, including the Thunder Battalion, only obeys Lao Niu's orders, and when to use the new weapon of rockets is up to Lao Niu alone.
Therefore, when all the baggage of the Thunder Battalion was put into storage, Liang Baoyu, the chief officer, was idle.
Liang Baoyu is naturally busy with his own affairs after the public affairs are done, anyway, his reputation as the head of the three evils in Chang'an has already been bad at home, as long as he doesn't mess around, even Niu Jinda, who is strict in governing the army, will not interfere too much, but in the eyes of everyone, Liang Laoba has signs of a prodigal son turning back and not changing!
Next to the cattle pen outside the city, Liang Baoyu kicked Laifu to the ground, beating and scolding non-stop, and the herdsmen who sent cattle and sheep to the door to trade trembled in fright!
"Something like a dog! Something like a dog! How did Lord Ben tell you? Your brain has grown into your eyes? ”
If you don't understand your anger, you can't solve your anger if you kill it!
These herdsmen have no forage to raise their cattle and sheep for the winter, do you have them?
Didn't the cattle and sheep in exchange be slaughtered quickly, and all of them were kept in the pen waiting to lose fat?
Liang Baoyu gave an order, and several Han butchers in the city were summoned, guarded the sheepfold and cattle and began to slaughter.
"Little Marquis, you can't kill it! You can't kill it! ”
Laifu, who was beaten up, still didn't wake up, lying on the ground and crying bitterly, the mournful shout, as if the butchers were slaughtering his own mother, "Little Hou Ye, this is our cow!" These are the cattle and sheep of our Liang family! ”
If it weren't for your loyalty, Lord Ben would definitely let the butchers give you a knife!
Too lazy to continue to explain to Laifu, Liang Baoyu directly asked Pei Ying to throw Laifu Wuhua aside, whether he lives or dies depends on whether his life is hard or not.
Zuo Wuwei's Northern Route Army brought not only grain and grass equipment, but also carts of high-quality green salt, a little salt can be exchanged for a cow like a horse of linen, and the herdsmen on the grassland are far more short of salt than the people in the Tang Dynasty.
Now these green salts have come in handy, after the cattle and sheep are slaughtered, take advantage of the freshness, the thick salt is smeared on the raw meat, hung on the shelf and blown by the wind, it is beef jerky and mutton jerky that can be eaten directly.
In particular, beef jerky can be eaten raw, and as for mutton jerky, it may need to be cooked and grilled, but it is definitely a top delicacy as a military ration!
Shuofang is a nail nailed to the grassland by the Tang Dynasty, and it is very difficult to supply grain, ten catties of grain are sent to Shuofang, and at least seven catties must be eaten on the way to transportation.
Liang Baoyu can raise food on the spot, or take care of delicious jerky, not only will it not attract accusations, but the entire military system will give him the green light!
The slips issued by the logistics officer can be withdrawn directly when they are taken back to Chang'an City, and even before leaving, Liang Baoyu made a special trip to the household department and obtained permission to take these strips directly to Liangjiazhuang's various sales taxes, and the profits are extremely amazing.
In this way, the herdsmen are satisfied, the military is satisfied, the imperial court is satisfied, and Liang Baoyu himself is even more satisfied...... The only thing that is not satisfied is that Rifle cries until his voice is hoarse and unable to speak.
This kid didn't have any position in the past, and following Liang Baoyu was even more like mud, but when he thought that his little marquis was going to lose, he tried his best to stop him.
In Laifu's cognition, if the family's money is used by the little marquis to have fun, even if it is a lot of money, he will not frown, but will clap his hands and applaud on the side, cheering for his little marquis!
But in front of him, it was ruined...... Although I am a slave, I can't stand this anger!
"You're meowing, and you're losing your temper like a dog? Drink the decoction that Lao Huang opened, I don't want to lead a dumb guy to mess around in front of people. ”
Looking at the blessing that was like a serious illness, Liang Baoyu's rare conscience found, "You have to know the reason, we can't raise those cattle and sheep for the winter, and it is impossible to rush back to Chang'an City to sell them now, turning them into military rations and selling them to logistics officers is the best way." ”
Suck your nose, pick up a big bowl and pour the thick medicinal juice into your mouth, you know the truth, but you still feel distressed!
"But, we're running out of linen...... Without sackcloth, how can our family continue to exchange cattle and sheep with those stupid herdsmen? ”
"Didn't we bring a lot of perfume and silver mirrors when we came? You are a dog, in the future, this lord will let you be in charge, and you can't use your brain more when you encounter things? ”
Liang Baoyu resisted the urge to give Laifulai a heartwarming kick, he is still a patient, he can't kick it, that's too inhumane! "After drinking the medicine and resting for a while, you can calculate how much the price of perfume and silver mirror sold in Chang'an City should be converted into linen, and continue to buy cattle and sheep at this price! Remember, the price is not allowed to harm those herdsmen, our Liang family does business, we pay attention to an honest management! ”
The beef and mutton business on the grassland, Liang Baoyu was originally just doing it casually, or to put it another way, he was just making a sample for those brothers in the army who had ideas, and it was enough for the Liang family to occupy a wool business, which was not only profitable, but also one of the long-term national policies of the imperial court.
In the Thunder Camp, most of them are two families from solid families, either the young sons of the small officials' families, or the sons and nephews of the nobles, who may not worry about food and clothing on weekdays, and even have spare money to go out with their brothers to have a few drinks and have a few fun, but if they have any serious inputs, they really can't pick one.
Now with the acquiescence of Liang Baoyu, Pei Ying and Pei Laosan, who bear the name of the old country of the Pei family, stand up, and all the beef and mutton are made into jerky as military rations.
Everyone in the Thunder Camp became a shareholder, and the brothers got together to buy the cowhide and sheepskin and send someone back to Chang'an.
The unique business did not last long, Liang Baoyu's hand has won the praise of countless people, and he is worthy of being a famous figure in Chang'an City.
