Now these are absolutely no plagues! ”

A goatee shopkeeper heard Zhu Gaoxuan's question, and hurriedly raised his hand to guarantee.

"Good.

Now you drive the cattle and sheep into the mountains and forests to the southwest. ”

"Obey ......"

Although Zhu Gaoxuan believes the words of this shopkeeper, he will not lose his due caution.

And if the herd of cattle and sheep is scattered, it will be troublesome.

Next, Zhu Gaoxuan saw what the head sheep effect is.

I saw that the goatee shopkeeper beckoned several Mongols in sheepskin furs to dismount, and each took out a handful of sweet potato seedlings and fed them to the mouths of the leading sheep in front of the flock.

Then they took out a handful of hay sprinkled with salt grains, walked forward, and began to turn slowly, and the leader behind them was attracted by the hay and turned with him.

It is amazing that the flock of sheep, which is more than ten miles long, was easily carried away and walked towards the southwest mountainous area, and only eight people led the leader forward in the whole process.

The herd, which was wrapped in the middle of the flock, had no choice but to follow the flock and turn away.

"Amazing! It's amazing. It turns out that driving sheep can be so easy! ”

Seeing the herd of cattle and sheep turning in an orderly manner, Zhu Gaoxuan couldn't help but admire.

"This is the head sheep leading the way."

Even Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"If only our soldiers could be so obedient."

Zhou Zhengxiong was also envious.

But Zhu Gaoxuan's face changed: "Zhengxiong is cautious!" The sheep effect is not necessarily a good thing, you can ask the herders and the mountain medicine pickers if they can pick up flocks of goat carcasses under the cliffs.

This is an example of the leader who did not lead the way and led the whole flock down the cliff. ”

"And that kind of thing?"

Zhou Zhengxiong was stunned and looked at Shen Xuepeng and the other two shopkeepers.

Shen Xuepeng hurriedly said: "That's true, the sheep are so stupid many times, even if they see a cliff in front of them, as long as the head sheep jumps down, they will jump down." ”

"It seems that this sheep effect should also be used carefully."

Zhou Zhengxiong was silent as he spoke, obviously thinking about how to apply the leading effect of this leader to the military.

Zhu Gaoxuan turned his head to look at the sheep slowly walking in front of him, thinking about how to use these sheep in exchange for more food and resources.

For example, today is August 13, and the weather has begun to turn cooler, so it is time to buy cloth to make clothes, otherwise by the winter, more people will die.

"Your Highness, our next sweet potato seedling trade, I'm afraid it will be postponed for a long time, Yan'an Mansion is tense, and it seems that there are Northern Yuan Tartars close to the Great Wall.

His Royal Highness the King of Han and Wang Bin have already set up defenses there, completely restricting commercial and trade activities. ”

"Hmm...... I know about this, Sheng Chong sent a message back before. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan stepped forward and patted Shen Xuepeng on the shoulder, and continued: "There are still more than three months before the Chinese New Year, so I'll give you a long vacation."

You help me transfer 10,000 stone of grain, and then take the most sweet potato seedlings you can take away as a reward for your hard work for half a year. ”

"Your Highness...... Beiyuan can't get over for the time being, are you asking me to sell sweet potato seedlings to Jiangnan? ”

Shen Xuepeng asked cautiously with excitement, but his eyes were full of expectation.

"Of course, it's for you to sell to Jiangnan, otherwise how can it be considered a reward?

Go with confidence, you deserve it. ”

"Your Highness Xie...... Your Royal Highness Xie, Shen Xuepeng is unforgettable. ”

Shen Xuepeng jumped off the horse as he said and kowtowed to Zhu Gaoxuan on the ground.

"Get up, don't kneel!"

"Hmm...... Be! ”

was stopped by Zhu Gaoxuan's loud shout, and Shen Xuepeng even burst into tears and laughed.

In this regard, Zhu Gaoxuan just smiled and waved his hand, and Zhuge Xuan on the side did smile with his beard, and he was even more satisfied with Zhu Gaoxuan's ability in his heart.

Just with a few insignificant sweet potato seedlings and a few warm words of love, he gained a loyal subordinate.

This ability reminded him of Zhu Di's comment on Zhu Gaoxuan: This old man really has the potential to rebel.

With the prestige of King Liang in Lantian and the whole of Shaanxi now, if he really wants to rebel, it is not a problem to raise an army of 100,000 in one day.

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't know that his new homework had been settled, and he was thinking about how to deal with so many cattle and sheep.

Looking at the cattle and sheep that were still moving, or out of sight, the first thing he thought of was not raising, but 'sheepskin fur'.

Just now he was thinking about buying cloth and sewing clothes, isn't there now a ready-made "cloth"?

If it weren't for the lack of time, and he didn't know the principle of the loom, he would have wanted to bring the technology of wool yarn knitting sweaters to him.

Then the sheepskin fur that has existed for hundreds of years is the best choice, and the lime workshop has produced basic chemical raw materials such as quicklime, hydrated lime, and flour soda, which will be softer and more comfortable than the existing sheepskin fur when used to tann the sheepskin.

At this moment, Zhu Anlan reminded in a whisper:

"Your Highness, look at the ground."

"Hmm...... Good fellows, the flock crosses, it's so clean! ”

The Lantian Plain in front of you interprets one fruit: strawberries.

It's really a sheep, but the grass is gone.

The replanted sweet potatoes and mustard greens, as well as the weeds that spontaneously emerged, were eaten away after the flock, leaving no green behind.

And the fields that had been loosened had fallen by more than seven inches directly after the flock.

"It's a pity not to build the road with this road capacity."

Zhu Anlan couldn't understand Zhu Gaoxuan's sigh, but he knew that this group of sheep might turn from a great blessing to a great disaster.

"Your Highness, we don't have such a big pasture, if we eat like this, Lantian is afraid that it will become a hairless land, but the hungry cattle and sheep will attack people."

Following Zhu Anlan's words, Zhu Gaoxuan said directly: "Since this is the case, then let's start slaughtering sheep!" ”

"This ...... This slaughtered sheep? ”

"Your Highness, half of these sheep are lambs, and it's a pity to slaughter them now."

While Zhu Anlan was puzzled, Shen Xuepeng also hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled.

"Zhu Anlan, wait a minute, you will let the Mongolians in Lantian City, the Hui people, and the Dangxiang people come to kill sheep and cattle."

"Your Highness, no."

As soon as Zhu Gaoxuan's words fell, Zhuge Xuan also spoke out to stop him.

What can make Zhu Gaoxuan shout is definitely a big move.

"Master, don't be impatient, listen to me."

"First of all, cattle.

Anyone over the age of two, or even under the age of two, who cannot wear a bull's nose ring, shall be slaughtered and not a single one shall be kept. ”

"No...... Never......"

Shen Xuepeng knelt on the ground with his two shopkeepers, the cattle they bought, naturally knew the composition of these cows, seventy percent of the cattle were old cows over two years old, and now they were going to kill 1340,000 cows.

With such a large amount of slaughter, even if you eat it, you can't eat it all

And it will definitely be taken by the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty to impeach Zhu Gaoxuan, the king of Liang, and a good murderer will definitely not be able to escape.

Even Zhuge Xuandu's face changed and he said something to stop him, but Zhu Gaoxuan still continued.

"Don't be afraid, we're killing beef cattle bought from the grassland, not farming cattle, it's okay.

All the calves are on the nose ring, and then directly handed over to the people to feed, one for each family, and they have been domesticated to the cattle since childhood. ”
