"But ......"

Hearing Zhu Gaoxuan's words, Zhu Anlan wanted to dissuade him again, but Zhuge Xuan waved his hand to stop him.

Indeed, if the calves are allowed to grow all the time, they will most likely become ordinary beef cattle when they grow up, and they will not be able to plough the land, but they will be distributed to the people, and with the farming talent of the Chinese nation, these calves will soon become qualified ploughing cattle.

And if a big cow wants to be trained into a ploughing cow, it takes too much energy and time, and it is not cost-effective.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to kill a big cow.

Then Zhu Gaoxuan said:

"If you kill 200,000 old sheep, the mutton will be salted and dried by the people of the county, and stored as food for winter.

In return, each person was given two sheepskins, and the elderly and children were equally given two sheepskins to be used as winter clothing for the people. ”

This time, no one objected, but nodded in unison, which was indeed a multi-pronged solution, not only to reduce the pressure on the feed, but also to prepare meat and clothing for the winter.

"At the same time, when killing sheep, pick out those whose wool is not thick and kill first, and kill the big ones first, and the experienced herdsmen select the ewes with thick wool and more sheep milk, and raise them specially for future Lantian breeding."

Hearing this, a shopkeeper beside Shen Xuepeng spoke in Chinese with a strange accent:

"Your Royal Highness King Liang, those sheep with thick wool are easy to get sick and die in summer; Those lambs that produce a lot of milk are fishy and not tasty.

If you leave these two sheep to raise, you will lose money. ”

Hearing this, Shen Xuepeng's face also changed, worried that Zhu Gaoxuan would be angry.

"Huh...... It doesn't matter, one of these two sheep is for shearing sheep, and the other is for collecting goat's milk, not for meat. ”

"But the wool is in the Northern Yuan, and it is all about being burned at the expense of people, what are we doing shearing sheep?"

"Mountain people have their own uses, you don't need to know.

Just do what I tell you to do. ”

"......"

This time, Shen Xuepeng's hands and feet were very fast, and before the Mongolian shopkeeper wanted to refute, he covered his mouth.

"Your Highness, the villain, the shopkeeper, is a Mongolian, and he doesn't understand the rules of our Han people, so the villain will be killed with a rod when he turns around."

Shen Xuepeng smiled carefully.

"It doesn't matter, such a person with a straight intestine will not be too bad in his heart and eyes, and he can use it.

However, some confidential events cannot be let them know, and it is easy to leak secrets. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan was in a good mood, and pointed out to Shen Xuepeng with a smile.

Shen Xuepeng smiled gratefully at Zhu Gaoxuan, pressed the shopkeeper and kowtowed again, and asked him to thank His Royal Highness King Liang for not killing him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your leniency, the villain knows how to arrange this shopkeeper."

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled indifferently and continued to arrange the task.

He is a rural baby, not a herdsman, so he did not give an opinion on how to raise these cattle and sheep, but only asked Li Yuan and Zhu Anlan to strengthen hygiene on the basis of respecting the opinions of Lantian herdsmen.

For example, the construction of sheepfolds and cattle sheds and the removal of manure are constantly emphasized.

When he heard that His Royal Highness King Liang said that he would kill hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, the people of the entire Lantian were boiling.

The first reaction was that His Royal Highness King Liang was crazy.

Even if an ordinary beef cow is killed and eaten, one head can be worth one tael of silver, and one tael of silver is enough for an adult's ration for a year.

Even if the sheep were cheaper, three or four would have a tael of silver.

This is to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and scatter it!

All the people put down their work and gathered outside the mountains and forests, looking at the cattle and sheep that had not completely disappeared into the mountains and forests, and many people began to swallow.

In this era, if people want to eat a little greasy, they may only eat one or two every year, but now there is so much meat in front of them, who can not be moved?

What's more, the county magistrates have already gathered butchers in each village.

The people were very conscious of watching from outside the mountains and forests, and no one entered, only the selected herdsmen could enter.

After the sheep completely entered the mountain forest, Zhu Gaoxuan rode over.

"Your Highness, please be careful, as soon as the sheep arrive in a new habitat, there will be a period of turf fighting, during which they may fight and be short-tempered.

There is a high probability that you will be in danger if you go in now. ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Liang wanted to enter the mountains, a stout man stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Hmm...... You're Barbolem, right? The leader of the Lantian Mongols. ”

"Yes, the villain has thanked His Highness for saving his life, but please don't risk it."

Barboram bowed gratefully, then reached out again to hold on.

"Haha...... Okay, this king won't go in. ”

Seeing Barbolem's serious face and firm tone, he was not angry.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxuan was not angry and was so kind, Barbolem continued to strike while the iron was hot and said:

"Your Highness, according to your request, we can slaughter cattle and sheep quickly, but it is difficult to preserve so much beef and mutton.

So the villain suggested waiting until winter to come and slaughter. ”

"How can this king not understand this truth, but this king doesn't have much else in his hands, just a lot of salt!

It's good to kill it and marinate it directly. ”

"This ...... It's the villain who is overly worried. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan said "there is a lot of salt" Barbolem was choked, and then he thought that there were nine salt-making workshops in Lantian County, and he was really rich and rich in "salt".

"However, you have a point, cattle and sheep can't be killed too quickly.

Then this degree is up to you, and if you do a good job, I will give you a cow and three sheep. ”

"Your Highness Xie, Barbolem will definitely kill the cattle and sheep!"

Hearing that he had suddenly become the boss of the cattle and sheep killing team, and that there was a reward, Barbolem was instantly full of motivation.

As a Mongolian, the herding gene in my bones instantly awakened.

"Guys, pick the sheep!"

"Catch the sheep and go to the ......"

"It's coming!"

With a shout, more than 4,000 male and female herdsmen gathered outside the mountain forest rushed directly into the mountain forest.

Watching the herdsmen go to select cattle and sheep, Shen Xuepeng suddenly asked:

"Your Royal Highness, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the villain asked the shopkeeper at home to bring 100 stones of high-grade white noodles, and I want to ask Miss Xiaoju to help make some moon cakes, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Mid-Autumn Festival?

Yes, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival again? ”

Hearing the word "Mid-Autumn Festival", Zhu Gaoxuan was suddenly stunned, he forgot the time.

In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since he came to Daming, and it is time for reunion.

However, he has no relatives by his side!

The relatives in the previous life are separated by time and space, and the relatives in this life are separated by heaven and earth.

Inexplicably, Zhu Gaoxuan, who was still happy just now, unconsciously moistened the corners of his eyes.

After a while, he turned his head to look at the anxious Shen Xuepeng and said:

"You have a heart, you and Liu Shun go back first, and let Xiaoju gather the peasant women in Lantian and find a place to start making moon cakes."

"Yes...... It's ......"
