Chapter 11 Bloody Smell
"This Gassuwen is quite good at keeping her true feelings.↗,"
While Hou Junji was joking, he picked up a pottery jar and used his carry-on dagger to cut the mud seal notch to reveal the lotus leaf substrate. After lifting it up, there was a sticky thing inside. He leaned over to his nose and smelled it. The Minister of War asked the grain official who came from Cangzhou, "Can this be eaten?"
"Don't blame the Shangshu. This thing is a little worse in appearance, but it's still delicious."
As he said that, the grain official picked up a wooden spoon, took another wooden bowl, dug a spoonful of things that looked like dilute cow dung, and put them in the wooden bowl, and slashed them twice. The grain official said seriously, "Shangshu, please see, not only are there meat, but also the big taro in the croaker, and the beans are also sufficient."
The Minister of War smacked his lips, but still didn't dare to taste it. He thought to himself: "Goryeo's slaves are strong and clear in the world. If it were the past, it would be quite troublesome, but this year is very different. A big cart can pull 500 cans at a time. This can be worth four or five kilograms of thick rice dumplings."
The gangsters in Binzhou have never suffered from hunger, but they have suffered. When they started their business, they have also suffered a lot. They have been trying to get promoted and make money in recent years, but they have never thought about such suffering. After becoming the Minister of War, they were impeached for two or three consecutive times. If he was the Minister of the Shangshu, he could not make a fortune in the position of Liao, he might have to step down.
The canned production is not high, but it is not low. It is no problem to replenish energy for 10,000 or 20,000 elites. Zhang De dared not say that he is a nutrition expert, but how to make the locals fill up? His engineering dog that has seen sunsets and sunrises in the desert Gobi still has some say.
A clay pot is tied with a straw rope to ensure that it is not damaged during transportation. Of course, it is better to use glass for canning, but the cost of that thing is too high, and Zhang De is not named Lei, so how could he do such a good thing?
The shelf life is a little different, but the temperature in late winter and early spring has given a lot of convenience. Moreover, according to the rhythm of this conquest of Liao, as long as Hou Junji can ensure that there are 50,000 or 60,000 slaves before the beginning of summer, he will have immeasurable merit.
With this, the rich, upstart and old aristocratic and shameless capitalists must maintain his position as Minister of War for a few more years.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"pork."
“Can pork be eaten?”
Hou Junji glanced at the grain officer, then felt that this problem was a bit idiot, and coughed lightly, "The soldiers fought hard, and they can't take away the food and fodder."
"Don't worry, the food and fodder are all pounds and chew at will." After a pause, the grain official bowed his head and smiled slightly, "For three or five months, the fleet has never stopped. Now the people are looking forward to the Shangshu's return in triumphant, and they will do their best to support the front."
After blinking, Hou Shangshu asked curiously: "What is the front of the army?"
"Support the frontline to kill the enemy soldiers!"
The changes brought about by the war have made some traditional areas of Hebei Road, which were originally stable and peaceful, become restless. Even the Lu family of Fanyang, who was taught by Dong Li, became enthusiastic again at this moment, and rushed around in a hurry.
The little Bohai Sea, you can't let the waves storm, but the Yellow River, Jishui, and there are Digou, Zhanghe, Luanhe... All the rivers that can lead to the Bohai Sea are connected by boats, like long dragons.
The sails are shrouded in the sun, and the people who drive Kun to pull the boat are the Tang people.
"Get closer!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, it's really a giant Kun!"
"Laizhou's 'Whale Rider' is here, don't steal the Laizhou people's business!"
"How could Dengzhou's 'killing hero' be famous? The man on the water has to see me from Dengzhou!"
"Go to your mother! Come on, brothers!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
I don’t know what type of whale it is, it is at least five feet tall, and the tail swings up, causing splashes of water.
The whale fork shot out by the Eight Niu Crossbow instantly pierced through the sea water and the whale, and the sea water was instantly dyed red. Also blood-red were sailors staring at the whale, a big whale, full of wealth.
Whale oil, cortex, bones, internal organs, whale brains... and the most realistic, direct and best-selling... whale meat!
"Where did the beast come from? Sign up!"
"I dare to steal our business in Bohai because I am brave!"
At about night, the northeast corner of Liaodong Bay, which seemed deserted because of the solid walls and clear fields, was the place of the Jian'an City of Goguryeo. Originally, there were about 200,000 people living in this area, but as the Tang army gathered in Hexi and the Tiankhan's golden arrows were spread to the border, Gai Suwen quickly concentrated the population into the barriers of the city. The newly built Great Wall was to resist the Tang army.
What made the Goguryeo people feel strange was that the Tang army was not as violent as the legendary. The drama of Li Jing's snowy night to destroy the Turks was not staged at all.
The Goguryeo people were strong and clear in the fields, and they did not even leave decent wood and stones to the Tang army. Even the thatched houses in the countryside had to be burned clean.
No grain or livestock would be left to Tang Jun.
Tang Jun should feel difficult, right?
However, it was not. The Tang army was not eager to attack. Instead, it was like fighting a stupid war, and the camps and ditches were advanced layer by layer. The Rangers warned infantry to advance and small-scale confrontations, and there were always elite Tang army fighting more and eating up some of the Goguryeo Army.
Even Gai Suwen wanted to lure the enemy deeper and spent a lot of money to give away the heads, but the Tang army still ate as much as they eat, and was still not in a hurry.
When the Tang army's camp barrier appeared near Jian'an City, Goguryeo scouts could see sea boats entering Liaodong Bay from time to time, and then the newly built coastal trestle leads directly to the sea. From time to time, large pieces of meat were unloaded on those strange-shaped Tang boats...
"The Tangren's ship is here again!"
The scouts riding a horse looked out from a distance, with arrow bags hanging on both sides, horse bowed in their hands, three riders and one team of people, one person was alert, and two people observed.
"It's meat again!"
"How could Tangren eat so much meat!"
“So much succulent…”
Soon, in the Tang army camp, armored soldiers pushed the wheelbarrow and transported a stone of whale meat back to the camp from the trestle. At one time, there were twenty wheelbarrows, and five teams of infantry and a team of cavalry. When they went to the trestle, they were two thousand kilograms of meat into the camp.
The horse-riding scouts in Goguryeo were all a little confused. What is the role and significance of the Western Lords’ solid walls and clearing the wilderness?
Tang Jun really needs those millet wheat? How long does the food in the city last?
Goguryeo has transformed from fishing, hunting, and nomadic to farming. It is a typical farming area bully. If the land has never been cultivated, the pressure is unimaginable.
Tang Chuan always did this. When he came to him once, he would be a thousand pounds of meat, as if he was inexhaustible, and people could not understand why.
And these meat, the Tang army's baggage soldiers actually had a lot of salt to pickle... and some baggage soldiers would smoke and bake a batch in order to take care of the taste of the soldiers. So outside Jian'an City, were there any Goguryeo people who came to the city occasionally found that the Tang army's back camp was actually drying bacon and bacon in the open air...
In Chang'an City, Zhang De looked at the naughty children who moved from Dahe Workshop, and then sent a lecture notation: "I am very pleased that someone got full marks for this algebra course..."
Regarding the equation system, it seems that naughty kids like it very much. They like it more than the sum of squares of right angle sides equal to the squares of oblique sides. Because the reward is richer, you can get a piece of cream cake. For questions like right angle triangles, at most, mix a sugar triangle...
"Sir, I heard that someone in the capital is going to compete with us?"
"The mountain chief, should people in the capital be smarter?"
"Of course, how can the land of the best at the emperor's feet be more dull than ours?"
"The bloodline of the princes and princes is definitely not simple..."
The naughty children were arguing, but saw a man coming in at the door, wearing a robe and leather boots. Although it was not a colorful skirt, it was loose and elegant. It was just that my daughter was wearing a thumping head, which looked very interesting.
After the woman came in, the group of naughty children turned pale and they didn't even dare to show off their anger. Some people even shivered, hugged their heads with their hands, and lying on the desk to see people.
Zhang De's mouth twitched and said warmly: "Why is Xiaoniang here?"
"Brother Caozhi, you teach a good student. You are timid before fighting. You really lose the face of our Dahe Workshop. Where is the dignity of Tongren Medical School?!"
Wu Erniang was posted by the royal family with a "bright and charming" sign. Others called the word "Mei Niang" happily, but Lao Zhang felt awkward and always felt that this would trigger an unscientific historical process.
"It's okay, it's okay, compared to the last time, you know the level and practice it to produce true knowledge."
"snort!"
Her Majesty the Queen snorted coldly, put her hands on her hips and pointed at a group of naughty children, "You rats are just learning by yourself. What's wrong with the capital? Everyone is smart like a sage at the foot of the emperor? But they don't know how to do it. The children in the house are either studying hard on the scriptures or reading the poems of the Zi said. What can you do if you want to learn it? If you read the Nine Chapters carefully, you can just say that Pang Que, who is only good at making cakes, will beat them a lot."
"Yes, yes, what Erniang taught me is that I'm waiting..."
"shut up!"
The queen glanced coldly, and the guy was about to cry. He lowered his head and did not dare to look up. "Did you not know about the matter last year? Even a few women, the pinworms who were officials of the Civil Affairs Department suffered a lot. Are you not as good as a woman?"
"What Er Niang said is deafening, we..."
"Shut up!"
The queen glanced at the electric eyes again, and the older little husband was almost crying. Then she looked at Zhang De who was pretending to be drafting the papers and just lowered her head silently. "If you can't beat this competition, then wait and jump to the river to Baqiao!"
"Cough yes."
Zhang De coughed, then looked at the naughty children and said earnestly, "My mother is also kind, you must remember it in your heart. Don't be too careful in this competition, victory or defeat is the military..."
"Fuck Brother!"
The queen turned around and glared at Zhang De, "It's about honor, how can you be careless? If you don't win, you will die. This is the right way!"
Go to you! I teach mathematics, not success!
