I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 62

Fu Jinchuan defeated the Qingtang Army at the foot of Shule City, and captured all kinds of supplies brought by the Qingtang people, including tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses.

There are more than ten thousand cattle and sheep assigned to Fu Jinchuan.

For the Jin Dynasty, cattle were an important strategic resource, able to plow the fields, and hides, horns, and sinews were also necessary materials for making bows.

As for the sheep, it is purely for meat.

Because of the important role of cattle in farming, the laws of the Jin Dynasty prohibited private slaughter. Even if the cattle died of illness and wanted to sell beef, they had to report to the government.Otherwise, it is a crime to sell beef without permission and catch one, so that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy beef to eat.

Because of the scarcity of beef, mutton has become the main meat for the nobles of Jin Dynasty.

Especially Shangjing and Xijing, these two cities eat at least hundreds of thousands of sheep every year.

During Xuanzong's period, the palace consumed [-] sheep every day. After Renzong came to the throne, although he liked to eat mutton, he also controlled his appetite for fear that it would cost too much to prepare mutton as a regular dish in the palace.

As for pork, dignitaries disdain to eat it, the price is very low, and it is mainly eaten by ordinary people.

Although Fu Jinchuan's more than 3000 cattle and more than 8000 sheep are nothing compared to Xue Cong's possession of the Yuezhen Kingdom's treasury, they are still a considerable amount of wealth.It was cut in half in an instant.Feeling heartbroken.

But there is no way?Who told Jiedushi to be him Aye?Try another person, want to take the goods in his hand?dream!
All the people present were smiling when they saw Xue Cong and Fu Jinchuan's bitter faces.

Originally, these civil and military officials were somewhat jealous of Xue Cong and Fu Jinchuan who had made great contributions. After all, this was the achievement of destroying the country. Who wouldn't want it?
However, the credit was taken by Jiedushi's cronies and son, and there was nothing to say about it.After all, whoever is on it will take care of his own people.

It is inevitable that there will be some depression in my heart, and I feel that I can do it if I do it.

But now looking at the money and goods that the two of them got, being picked up by Fu Maoxiu, I just feel that the injustice has been swept away, and I even want to laugh.

The original bit of jealousy has disappeared, you see, after winning the battle, you have to take the seized property to make up for the hole in the reward
The Jiedu envoy spoke, and the two big families who were eaten also agreed, and the matter of the reward was over.

The next step is to discuss the establishment of the forum. Fu Jinchuan is not in the mood to listen at all, and his mind wanders around the world.

As for the matter of the debate, it has been debated for a long time, but there is no result. As long as it is about who will host the debate, the generals want it, and the civil servants want it too. After all, this is a fat job.

"This field should be managed by our frontier army. We have to send people to maintain order and ensure the safety of trade routes." "This field is related to transactions between the two countries, and it also involves taxes. State to manage”

Fu Jinchuan was not interested, he would return to Beijing in a month or two, anyway, it didn't fall on his head.

In the end, it was Fu Maoxiu who spoke, saying that the matter of the discussion would be discussed later, and then he brought up the worries about the feudal clan that Fu Jinchuan said just now when he was using the court food.

"The worries of the Duke and Lord Lang are not unreasonable. Now that Yuezhen is gone, the imperial court should be in Yuezhen, or set up a state or a town, and the four ministries can't be completely on guard. In my opinion, it is better to send some soldiers to be permanent The four departments, in the name of guards, carry out surveillance in reality, so they can also refer to each other with the old land of Yuezhen Kingdom."

Jiedu Deputy Envoy Zhang Renyuan's suggestion was very direct and simple.

Garrison directly.

After thinking for a while, Fu Maoxiu said, "How many troops should be stationed?"

Zhang Renyuan said: "Thousands are enough."

Fu Maoxiu nodded after hearing this, "That's very good, but this matter is a big one, and it needs to be reported to the court."

At this time, Fu Jinchuan said: "Aye, you can recommend the children of the four aristocrats who have made military achievements in this battle to serve in Hexi or Shangjing."

After hearing Fu Jinchuan's suggestion, Liangzhou don't drive Pei Shu and said directly: "This plan is wonderful."

In this battle, many noble children among the four tribes performed well, such as Japu Huali and his younger brother Japu Sigong, who were considered brave and skilled fighters, and these people were also the backbone of the four tribes' armies. Transferring these people out of the four departments, either as officials in Hexi, or directly to Shangjing, is not only a reward for them, but also a defense against them.

In this way, the four major vassals will inevitably be more submissive to the imperial court, and the garrison can also strengthen their influence on the vassals. It is also possible to become a Dajin military state in the future.

Immediately, Fu Maoxiu ordered his staff to draft a document, enlisting capable fighters from the four armies to fill the Hexi army, as well as a memorial to the imperial court, recommending the children of the four nobles including Japu Huali as officials.

It is not new for foreign vassals to serve as generals in the Jin army.

In the early years, under the command of Fu Jinchuan's grandfather, there were several generals who were from the vassal clan. They followed his grandfather in the southern and northern wars, just like the Jin army.

Therefore, Fu Maoxiu's recommendation was neither abrupt nor contrary to the usual practice.

The matter was almost agreed, and everyone dispersed, only Fu Maoxiu and his son, Liu Xianke and Cui Fangyi were left in the festival hall.

Fu Jinchuan sighed and said, "Aye, you are so strict. You didn't let me know at all during the morning meal. Is there anything we can't discuss? Even if you share [-]% of it. You are willing, Just half of it."

Fu Maoxiu laughed and said, "If you don't mention it in front of everyone, would you be willing to cut your flesh?"

Liu Xianke and Cui Fangyi also laughed.

"Hey"

Fu Sanlang sighed helplessly.

The sky was a little gray, and there was only some afterglow left in the sun. Looking west, it was red like a fire.

In the camp on the Huben Festival, Pugu Huai'an was cooking a few roasted whole lambs, constantly touching various spices on them.

A Shulie next to him helped him.

Pang Yun, Jiang Wu, brothers Liu Chang and Liu Min are setting out a jar of fine wine, waiting for the drooling Roasted Whole Lamb.

"Huai'an, your roasted mutton is pretty good. With this method, you can go to Beijing to open a restaurant, and earn a few hundred yuan a year. It's not a problem."

Smelling the smell of roasted whole lamb, Pang Yun exclaimed in admiration.

Pugu Huai'an showed a simple and honest smile, he, A Shulie, Wu Siduji and others got their wish and entered the Huben Festival.

At first, they were worried about being squeezed out. After all, they were all from the north.

But after I came in, I realized that what I thought was superfluous. Huben Jiecong, as the most reliable elite of Fu Jinchuan, advances and retreats together, eats and drinks together, forges ahead, and moves forward indomitably.The most important thing is not the background, but the ability.

Several people were brave and courageous when they were in Migratory Locusts. In the Battle of Shule, the two cavalry fought together, and they lived and died together.

Pugu Huai'an's spear, Ashulie's sword, and Wu Siduji's shooting skills are all good even in Huben Festival.

So even if he is just a pawn, he can be regarded as a recognized "one of his own".

And it was only when these people came in that they found out, let alone them, the grandson of the Prince of Jin Dynasty was just a pawn in Jiecongli.

In the Huben Festival, there were only small pawns and team leaders, and there were ten team leaders, and the rest were small pawns.

To be able to serve as team leader, one has to be a master, such as Jiang Wu, Chen Xing, Zhang Kui, and Pang Yun.

"Pang Captain, are the restaurants in Shangjing very profitable?" Pugu Huai'an was very envious of the hundreds of guan that Pang Yun said.

Speaking of Shangjing, Pang Yun was in high spirits, and his eyebrows were beaming when he spoke.

"Of course, there are millions of people in Shangjing City, one hundred and eight squares, and the stalls selling snacks in Zhouqiao Night Market can earn a hundred or so a year, and there are also hundreds of Guan. You will know when you go to Shangjing. .”

Speaking of this, Pugu Huai'an was surprised, "Can I also go to the capital?"

"Of course, Mr. Lang estimates that he will return to Beijing to get married in a few months. Naturally, we will go back with Mr. Lang."

Pang Yun was talking happily when he was interrupted by Jiang Wu.

"Ah Yun, you can just say it. When Mr. Lang finds out that you start talking about everything again, you will feel better then."

Jiang Wu's words made Pang Yun look around nervously, and he was relieved when he didn't see Fu Jinchuan.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything today, and you didn't hear anything."

Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others laughed together.

Zhao Fubai smiled and said: "Pang Duizheng, you can rest assured that we will never spread the word."

"Don't worry about it, my lord, it was the good deeds you guys did last time, which caused me to be beaten up by my lord for three days in a row."

Pang Yun said indignantly, "I won't say anything from now on."

"What did you say again?"

"My lord, I didn't say anything, I just chatted with them and told them about the Beijing style."

The sudden appearance of Fu Jinchuan, obviously still angry, immediately made Pang Yun a little flustered.

The others also held back their laughter, not daring to be presumptuous.

Fu Jinchuan said: "I'll be back in Beijing in a few months. Then go and see what you want to see. What style can you say from your mouth?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

This time, Zhao Fubai, Liu Liu, Liu Qi, and the rest of the festival couldn't help laughing.

Pang Yun, on the other hand, drooped his head and said nothing. He was really afraid that he would disagree with him, so he would drag him to the martial arts arena to fight dozens of rounds.

"Huai'an's roasted mutton is really good. How about it, would you like to go to Beijing with me? There are also A Shulie and Wu Siduji."

The men from the northern border were a little stunned.

Fu Jinchuan said: "It's okay, there will be a few months left and right, if you don't want to, there will be a place for you in the Hexi Army."

"No sir, I'm willing to go, I can go anywhere with him."

"It's Mr. Lang, I'm willing to go too."

In their eyes, Shangjing is the best place in the world, so there is no reason why they don't want to.

Fu Jinchuan nodded, "Okay, anyway, wherever you go, you will have a bite to eat."

Several people hurriedly bowed to the ground.

Fu Jinchuan smiled and said: "No need, get up, the mutton will be burnt in a while."

After hearing this, several people got up and looked at the roasted whole lamb on the shelf.

The roasted mutton is golden in color, sizzling with oil, and sprinkled with various seasonings, which is even more fragrant.

At the beginning of the dinner, Fu Jinchuan took a bowl of wine and poured it on the ground.

"The first bowl of wine is to respect the dead brother."

Afterwards, everyone ate mutton, drank Liangzhou's famous salamander and wine, and sang to their heart's content.

"The imperial wind of the four seas is covered, and the virtues and waters are clear for thousands of years; the military uniforms are not worn, and today they are successful. Looking back, the frontier fortress is as low as a horse, and gradually the river flows straight north. Tianwei rolls directly to the Yumen Fortress, and thousands of miles of barbarian people sing Han songs." "

In the camp of Huben Jiecong, there are people from Shangjing, people from Guanzhong, and people from Bashu. At this moment, there are also people from Qianghu and people from the northern border.

And at this moment, they are all the Jin army.

They were singing, drinking, eating meat, indulging themselves, and remembering the Paozawa brothers who died in the [-]s.

Congratulate yourself even more, not dying on the battlefield.

They are not afraid of death, but rejoice in life.
