Chapter 934 943: Simple Ways to Cook
After being brought in, Qin Wei performed the Dafa of pinching people again, waking them up in two clicks, and they are currently recuperating.
"Pingyang Gong's wonderful hands are rejuvenated!" The two imperial doctors habitually touted Qin Wei, and then each stepped forward to diagnose and treat.
"Thank you Pingyang Gong." The two old soldiers struggled to salute Qin Wei, and Qin Wei said: "Loyal people, someone will naturally come to the rescue." Ruthless and unrighteous people, a certain will only fall into the well. Cao Xi solemnly arched his hand: "Thank you, Brother Qin, I have something to say in the future." Qin Wei said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth being like Cao Guogong." Cao Xi said solemnly: "These old pawns have been lost to my family all their lives, born and died, forgetting death, a certain originally wanted to let them live for a long time, but never thought that His Majesty was merciful, and actually gave the Cao family the opportunity to do martial arts, state affairs and family affairs, a certain can only take care of state affairs, so they are tired...... "This is a gesture."
Cao Xi's words not only expressed his loyalty to Zhao Zhendi, but also appeased these guards, which is a compulsory course for the powerful...... Buying people's hearts.
"Lang Jun, but there is something, we are willing to follow Lang Jun into battle and kill the Liao people!" The guards of the Cao family looked excited, probably praised by the head of the family so much, and their blood was already boiling, which was the difference between those who worked hard and those who worked hard.
Qin Wei didn't have much interest in these, and later these people withdrew from the imperial city, and Cao Xi specially stayed behind.
"Brother Qin, what is a powerful person? There is the power of self-preservation, there is dependence, and there are people to call ...... Let the battle be able to kill the enemy, and let it be a functional herdsman...... This is not just to say that the family is knowledgeable, but more that the family is full of talents, and they can ...... wherever they want" This is somewhat similar to the doorman system during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where the main family uses this prestige and money to attract talents, and then let them use it for their own use.
However, Da Song can't have this kind of doorman system, otherwise the old Zhao family will give you nightmares.
"You don't need more, just a few of all kinds of talents." Cao Xi was seriously teaching Qin the way of running a family for the powerful.
The ways of the magnates are different, but most of them are similar, they all cherish themselves with brooms, and they refuse to speak to outsiders, which is probably the meaning of passing on the son but not the daughter, and the eldest son not the second son.
"Most of these people can only use one generation, why?" Cao Xi is really serious about Qin Wei: "If you want them to return to their hearts, you have to give benefits, money is secondary, the first thing is to give their sons benefits, give them freedom, and try their best to help them go to the imperial examination to become ......officials" Qin Wei nodded: "In this way, let them serve." β
"Yes, Anbei, you are really smart." Cao Xi smiled and said: "You just have to operate like this, in a few years, the Qin family will become a real powerful family." β
"Powerful!" Qin Wei smiled and said: "I have talents in my hands, and I have money and food at home...... In this way, you can attack, retreat and defend, and you are not afraid of any disaster, is this a powerful person? Cao Xi nodded: "Yes, this is the powerful." And everyone has to communicate with each other, and if necessary...... The Cao family is far away from those people because of their mother, but in the future, they will slowly associate with them, and when the next generation comes, the Cao family will reintegrate into the elite. β
"It's good to huddle together for warmth, but have you ever thought about it, why can't those powerful people be reused? Your Majesty and the court would rather raise them like pigs than let them serve in the army, do you know why? Qin Wei dropped this sentence and left, leaving Cao Xi in a daze.
"Something wrong? Or the powerful are wrong. ββ¦β¦ Late autumn on Quang Nam West Road is a bit hot and dry. The sun is not small, the key is that it has not rained in half a month, which makes people feel anxious.
"What the hell is this weather?" Zong Sheng raised his head and glanced at the mountain range opposite, and said with a headache: "Shouldn't it be a cold day?" Why is it still so hot? He had just arrived at Guangnan West Road, and he quickly came to the local gathering area.
After Song Shiyao burned those Jiaozhi people to death with a fire, he was praised by the officials of Guangnan West Road, which can be regarded as a good achievement.
He was standing on the other side, looking at the mountain with a telescope.
"Zhaha, the natives here are fierce, they have collected a lot of food this season, and they will not come down the mountain."
"Really?" Zong Sheng was also watching: "Let the accompanying soldiers not come over." β
"Why?" If it weren't for Zong Sheng's experience in Fuzhou, Song Shiyao would probably think that he was a mediocre official.
"Not why." Zong Sheng ordered: "Retreat and set up camp, send scouts to sweep the surrounding area, and do not approach." They brought 3,000 troops, and the transfer envoy felt that it was not enough, but Zong Sheng refused the suggestion to send more men and horses, there were too many people and horses, and the grain and grass that needed to be transferred all the way would become a burden on the soldiers and civilians of the West Guangnan Road.
Zongsheng came to solve the problem, and did not want to create new problems, so the army camped, and Zongsheng ordered someone to slaughter a sheep, and he cooked the dishes himself.
The mutton was cut into pieces and copied off the white foam impurities, then boiled in water, and the firewood crackled and burned in the makeshift earth stove.
Song Shiyao stuffed a withered branch in, raised his head and sniffed: "It tastes good, but why don't you put seasoning?" Zong Sheng said with a smile: "Pingyang Gong said that high-end ingredients often only need a simple cooking method, and the more seasonings you put in, the worse the taste. It's best to have some smell...... If there is no smell, what kind of mutton do you eat? β
"Is that so?" Song Shiyao was in the inspection department in the early stage, and later transferred to the army, eating all the big pot rice, and he liked the heavy food the most.
Once you're used to the heavy flavors, you'll find that the so-called delicacies are bland and tasteless, and your taste buds will never be able to taste the food itself.
But this lamb is different, after cooking, it is pinched out and then sprinkled with a handful of salt.
"Let's go." Zong Sheng took a bite and felt that the meat was delicate, and the meat juice exploded in his mouth, and then the saltiness of the salt grains intertwined and slowly melted......
"Good lamb!" Song Shiyao just ate a piece, and instantly felt that the first half of his life was in vain.
"Is there such a delicacy as this?" He was surprised: "In the past, the food in the army was cooked and finished, and if there was any seasoning, more spices would be put in it...... I didn't know that mutton only needs to be boiled......"
"Let's see if the sheep is good." Zong Sheng explained: "Pingyang Gong likes to eat braised mutton, and he doesn't like to barbecue it very much, especially like to roast it for dinner and supper...... In the same way, if we want to appease the natives, we can't wait, otherwise they won't come down until the spring of next year. β
"Yes! Those natives are cunning, and they will not go down the mountain without benefit. Song Shiyao said with a headache: "And they don't trust us, this is the most difficult." β
"Trust is a prerequisite for resolving issues, but if you don't have it, you'll be fine." Zong Sheng said: "Let people go to the back and ask for some money, food, pigs and sheep." β
"Tsuki, we have enough to eat this time."
"It's not for us to eat." Zong Sheng shook his head and smiled: "When the time comes, go around the mountain...... Those natives are hard to endure in winter and spring, right? Yes, I thought that there was no food in the mountains at that time, but I could only sit and eat the empty mountains, and finally I was hungry, so I went to grab a handful. Song Shiyao said: "Exactly. He felt that this Zongsheng was still a little interesting, at least not such a rigid official.
"When the things arrive, let them take them down the mountain."
"What do you mean?" Song Shiyao was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Is this a temptation to the enemy?" β
"Your idea is dangerous." Zong Sheng suddenly frowned and said, "Those natives are our brothers and sisters, how can they be enemies?" What do you think? can even think of the word enemy, it can be seen that there is no less idea of fighting those brothers and sisters on weekdays, go back and reflect on yourself. "This is a civil official!
Insidious and cunning, he can always find a reason for himself before doing something immoral, Zong Sheng felt that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement, so he retreated into the tent and slept with confidence.
When he woke up, he yawned and asked, "Are you here?" β
"It's still early, at least three days." It is not difficult to mobilize grain, pigs and sheep, but the difficulty lies in mobilizing carts. Fuzhou is a military fortress, and everything, including women and children, is born for war, so there is no such thing as mobilization, just a word, and they will consciously hand over the resources they have.
But this is Quang Nam West Road, which is not only remote, but also poor. On the third day, a large team of cars came, and most of the drivers who were driving the cars were injured, and they looked sad and angry, and they dared not speak out.
No one cared about them, but Zong Sheng did.
"What's going on?" He felt that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement, why these people were so wronged, but unfortunately no one answered.
Zong Sheng was angry and said, "If you don't speak, you will be requisitioned until next year." "This is a means to break the family, Zong Sheng will not use it, but at this time he took it out to threaten the coachmen, this is compassion, but it must also be assisted by thunderbolt means.
The coachmen trembled for a long time, looking at the sergeants escorted on the side, and did not dare to speak. Zong Sheng was angry, pointed at these soldiers and said, "Rush over." "ΡThis group of soldiers was lazy and lazy, but at this moment they were roared by Zong Sheng, and they were all panicked, if Zong Sheng went back to the previous book and impeached them, what would be the consequences?
It will definitely be disposed of. So without waiting for Song Shiyao to send someone to drive him away, a sergeant said: "Governor, they are reluctant...... "The requisitioned cart was reluctant, which sounded fine.
But Zong Sheng had been in Fuzhou for so long, and he knew that something was wrong with this, so he sneered: "What is the reluctance to requisition? Reluctantly, there is no such look. Do you think it's a certain Yanai? "The government is an official, has resources, and means, and naturally refuses to sink, so it is often deceived by the officials below, but Zongsheng is different.
He is a representative of grassroots officials, what is the following situation I don't know? The soldiers looked at each other, and then someone in the convoy shouted: "Commander, they said that they would have to requisition us to pull earth and stones, saying that they would build a house for officials." "Somebody makes a start, and the back is smooth.
"Then Yang Zhizhou wants to build a house, and he originally asked the sergeants to do it, but the sergeants want to requisition us...... "Rub!"
Zong Sheng couldn't help but want to curse. Those soldiers all lowered their heads, but they didn't see the look of apology or remorse, obviously they were numb, Guangnan West Road is far away from Bianliang, the so-called Shangao Emperor is far from this kind of place.
