Dress to be a celebrity

How could the King of Qi eat the same thing as cattle and sheep as a noble man with golden branches and jade leaves?Cows and sheep can eat grass, but they also make this kind of pastry... It's actually quite delicious!

He was faintly unhappy, and waved his hand to ask Chushi Liu: "What else do these horses eat? Are they also made of this machine?"

After all, Xueshi Liu is an honest man with a background in engineering, so he couldn't see what King Qi was really thinking about, so he replied honestly: "I also eat bean cakes, cottonseed, rapeseed cakes, wheat straw powder, etc., and I also use this machine to swell them." After feeding them, it is easy to digest, not flatulent, and grows meat faster than eating grass alone."

The side of the factory building was originally used as a warehouse, and there were piles of dry soybean cakes left over from oil extraction. They were also brought and pressed for a while to show King Qi the effect.

The effect...it is much more fragrant than the feather powder stick, and the color is also golden, more like the pastry sent by King Zhou.

This time, not only King Qi felt this way, but even the generals around him also saw the similarity, pointing to the long stick and said: "Isn't this the Hanzhong crispy stick we eat? The yellow color is similar to the crispy stick, and it smells the same. It's fragrant, but it's the smell of cooked bean noodles, which is grain."

Liu Chushi said very rigorously: "What people eat is made of good grain and millet, and these are leftovers for livestock. Needless to say, the feathers, the bean cake is also squeezed for soybean oil first, and the remaining bean dregs are used to make it." feed."

Although the machines are similar, the materials used in them are different. People eat what is good, and the leftovers are given to livestock.

After explaining this way, King Qi felt more at ease.Just seeing that machine make things with my own eyes, I can't help thinking that he eats chicken, and the animals eat chicken feathers; he eats soybean flour snacks, and the animals eat soybean meal cakes;

He is a dignified prince with great military exploits, why does he always eat the same thing as cattle and sheep?Is there anything that is only eaten by humans and cannot be eaten by animals?

He faltered, turned back and asked Liu Chushi: "This cow's wool can't be puffed up as fodder, can it?"

No, I have never heard of it. I have only heard that cow and sheep skin can be tanned to make leather boots, belts, leather cushions, and wool can also be made into felt blankets and knitted clothes.

That's good.King Qi nodded, and ordered the guards around him: for dinner, ask the cook to slaughter two cows, kill a few more big sheep, and then go to Daihai outside the city to get some waterfowl, fish and shrimp, and then share the wine sent by Hanzhong. Said that his prince would reward the three armies!

The cattle and sheep are exchanged for money from the herdsmen, and the whole sheep is roasted in a large oil drum sent by Hanzhong Mansion. Roasted beef legs, beef ribs, stewed beef...even the offal of beef and sheep that have been picked out are washed clean. , boiled in the white soup of stewed mutton, chopped and soaked in the mutton soup, then boiled some vermicelli, sprinkled with garlic sprouts and green chives, it is a delicious dish.

The aroma of roasted and stewed beef and mutton filled the entire barracks. The soldiers smelled the aroma and watched the chef barbecue in the open air. Otherwise, why would you give this much wine and meat all of a sudden?"

This great victory in winter has greatly boosted the morale of the army. When it comes to the Western Expedition, everyone is gearing up and eager to try.

Even the princes and generals guessed that King Qi had been thinking about war for a long time. Seeing that the garden built by the scholar in Hanzhong Mansion was enough to accommodate the herdsmen, they planned to enter the grassland again.

Although the weather in the prairie is still cold at this time, look at the methods of Hanzhong economic masters building houses, paving roads, raising cattle and horses in the past few days; Hanzhong Mansion can carry a four-wheeled cart that weighs a thousand catties, and they will not be afraid to go deeper into the prairie out of food.

In this case, just follow Qi Wang's will and lead the troops to the north!

Everyone was full of fighting spirit during this dinner, and they talked about how to expand the territory and unify the country.King Qi listened to the generals' arrangements for the battle in the seat, and he was very open-minded when he heard it. He cut a few pieces of fat and thin beef ribs, and almost ate a whole steamed lamb by himself, eating himself like a big animal on the spot. Forget about eating puffed food.

After the king of Qi rewarded the army, the training in the army became more intensive. Some grain officers arranged for the loading and transportation of grain and grass, and they traveled in case of preparation.

Thinking of leaving Liangcheng soon, King Qi felt a little bit reluctant, and went to the new breeding factory outside the city to see how the cattle, sheep and horses were growing.

Although he was a golden branch and jade leaf, he shouldn't have stepped into the pasture house, but after all, he was at the border, and there were not so many eunuchs around, so he went whenever he wanted.The local quartermaster who was in charge of the livestock wanted to persuade him not to go, but he couldn't hold back the prince, and felt that the building was well built, and it didn't defile the prince's respect, so he led him into the tall and spacious breeding room. Abandon.

The building was indeed clean and tidy.The windows under the eaves are all open, and there are wooden sticks to support the window panels under the eaves.The windows are covered with thick hemp thread screens, and the fresh air penetrates in, so there is not much smell in the room, and there are no mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants flying around in the room.

There are a dozen to dozens of cattle and sheep raised in a cattle and sheep house. They all stay in the low concrete pond, stick their heads out of the wooden fence, and quietly eat the feed and food in the trough in front of them. Clear water.I haven't seen them for a few days, and the cattle and sheep that were confined outside the city by the herdsmen and lost weight because of the cold weather and could not go far to graze have all grown fatter.

King Qi remembered the taste of barbecue at dinner, and he also liked these cattle and sheep a little more, and looked down to see how they were eating.

Unexpectedly, the trough was full of green grass, mixed with some red, yellow and yellow dry powder, but there were no crispy sticks he saw that day.

Now that it has been made, why not use it for these cattle and sheep?Could it be that his majestic prince really cares about animals and forbids them to use puffed feed?

The quartermaster pointed to the trough and explained: "Those materials need to be ground into powder for the animals to eat, so that they can be easily digested. These are what the veterinarians in Hanzhong said. After seeing them coming, the officials will control the animals in order." Be well-behaved, better than the old herdsmen who have been raising sheep for decades, and everything depends on them."

The day before yesterday, he was worried that it would be difficult to feed the cattle and sheep, and the herdsmen would be difficult to manage. The clerks and medical officers of the Hanzhong Mansion came here to solve the problem for him, but they relieved his urgent needs.Now he is also going to go out with the army, there is nothing to compete in Liangcheng, let alone speak well of the other party.

"It's because His Majesty and King Zhou loved His Highness a thousand years ago, and tried every means to relieve our worries, so that His Highness can make a thousand years of military exploits."

Their community is like a small city that encloses the herdsmen, and the local soldiers watch over the herdsmen, making it easy for them to come and go; cattle, sheep and horses are stored in concrete houses outside the city, and they are kept in fences when they are released, and they take them with them when they want to escape. don't go—

Without horses, the herdsmen would not be afraid of defecting from Liangcheng; without cattle and sheep, the herdsmen would have nowhere to eat and drink even if they could escape back to the grassland.This is not only a good way to raise cattle and horses, it must be a strategy of the Hanzhong government to prevent these people who are attached to them from defecting to the imperial court again!

The king of Qi was excited when he heard it, and he also looked away from the cow, and smiled faintly: "This is the person who was taught by Song Sanyuan and sent to assist the king. He has given his advice behind the scenes, so he has such insight."

There is also... It must be due to his elder brother being willing to give him talents.

His Royal Highness King Qi praised Song Shi heavily, and gently said something to his eldest brother, walked to the sheepfold, and reached out to touch the sheep that were grazing with their heads down.

The wool is too thick to touch, and it is messy and dusty.King Qi didn't dislike the dirty sheep yet, the sheep shook its head, let out a "baa", and stretched its neck out of the fence to push him.

King Qi gave a "hehe" sound, pressed the sheep's head heavily against the anger of the sheep, and said with a light smile, "The safety of my Liangcheng and the safety of the people in the attached tribe depend on you little things."

As he spoke, he shook the wool and soil foam on his hands, and with wide sleeves facing the wind, he strode towards the newly green grassland.

King Qi and the Western Expeditionary Army left Liangcheng.

This news was sent to Hanzhong together with a letter from King Qi's family. In the letter, two words "thank you" were rarely added, thanking him for sending the talents to Liangcheng, and thanking him for sending the talents who used wonderful methods to stabilize the border residents.As his younger brother, he was in the army, so he had nothing to send, so he had to ask someone to send some cattle, sheep and herdsmen to make milk snacks for his elder brother to try.

The cattle and sheep are raised by the students he sent, and they have fattened up a lot; the milk pastries are made by the herdsmen, such as milk skin, cheese, milk pastry, ghee... They are all delicious, but some are a little sour, and you have to add sugar yourself.

The king of Zhou felt very relieved to receive the family letter and eat food, and saw from the letter of the king of Qi the arrangement of confinement of herdsmen's property and stabilization of the border town in the Song Dynasty, so he happily talked to the two brothers and praised them for their foresight. When I sent people there, I was ready to stabilize Liangcheng.

Prepare... I really don't have this preparation.

The two in-laws are sincere gentlemen, and their faces were a little hot when they were praised, and they were embarrassed to take credit for themselves.

But King Qi was so sincere, and King Zhou also sincerely praised them. Mr. Song couldn't evade their kindness, so he could only cover his face with butter tea and replied in a low-key manner: "This is the praise of His Royal Highness Qi. It’s all about moving the matter to Liangcheng, so how can we have any intention of targeting the people in the newly attached border? It’s just that... if we can achieve some merits in calming the people in Jingbian, it will also live up to Brother Huan, me and our ministers’ ambition to serve the country.”

At first, I thought that King Qi was just a sophomore in middle school, but I didn't expect that he still has some eyesight, and he can see the essence through phenomena.
