farm.

After yesterday afternoon, plus this morning's slaughter.

From far away, one could smell the blood in the whole farm.

In the farm, a group of soldiers will come and go, working in full swing.

Following Zhu Di's arrival, Tang Yun went up to meet him with a happy face.

"His Royal Highness, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. Five hundred hogs, five hundred sheep, five hundred chickens, and five hundred ducks have all been slaughtered, their feathers removed, their stomachs disemboweled, and cleaned up. Your Highness, please come with me. ..."

In several spacious houses, hogs, sheep, chickens, and ducks were lying cleanly together, piled up into hills.

On the side, there are piles of separate internal organs, pig blood, duck blood...

"hiss……"

"How many kilograms does this have to weigh?"

It wasn't just Zhu Fu and all the officials of the Yan Palace who stared directly, even Zhu Di and Guo An couldn't help but feel shocked when they glanced over suddenly.

Tang Yundao: "Your Highness, 520 catties of pig meat, [-] catties of mutton, [-] chickens, [-] ducks, and more than a thousand catties of duck blood and pig blood..."

"Very good!"

Zhu Di said excitedly, "We didn't expect that our Prince Yan's Mansion would be so rich. There are so many chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep? This year is really a bumper year..."

"It's all thanks to His Highness's wisdom and martial arts. This year, I can not only eat enough food, but also eat meat." Tang Yun quickly flattered.

He said this sincerely.

At least this year has been the best year for his more than 1 brothers in Yanshanwei. They not only have enough food on weekdays, but also occasionally eat fish.

And in the cold winter, there are still fresh vegetables to eat, and now during this year's festival, so many hog sheep are still slaughtered?
Good year!

This is a prosperous situation, they didn't even dare to think about it before.

"Your Highness is wise! This year is a good year for my Yan Palace..."

Behind him, Zhu Fu and all the officials of the Yan Palace shouted excitedly.

At the front, Zhu Di's expression was inexplicable, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"How do Zhu Qing and Guo Qing plan to distribute?"

After being excited for a while, Zhu Di finally remembered the business, and turned to ask Zhu Fu and Guo An.

Behind them, a group of officials and generals held their breath and stared closely at Zhu Fu and Guo An.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Fu said: "Your Highness, I feel that in order to show fairness, it is better to distribute according to the rank of officials."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, then turned to look at Guo An: "Does Guo Qing have any opinions?"

Guo An quickly replied, "My ministers agree. However, during the New Year's Day, His Highness distributes meat such as pig meat and mutton to show his kindness. Therefore, even the lowest soldiers and scribes, the pig meat received Meat such as mutton should not be too little."

"good."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "So, at least half a catty of meat will be distributed to the soldiers and the servants."

"His Highness Shengming!"

Guo An quickly flattered him.

On the side, Zhu Fu, Tang Yun and other officials and generals also praised him.

Even if half a catty of meat was distributed to the servants and soldiers, the remaining meat would be enough for officials and generals to share.

Zhu Di waved his hand, and said arrogantly: "If that's the case, then go and distribute it as soon as possible!"

"Follow the order!"

Zhu Fu responded excitedly with a group of scribes, and prepared to go in with a few account books.

However, after walking two steps, Zhu Fu and a group of scribes stood in front of those mountains of meat, thinking all over their faces, but they didn't make a move.

Zhu Di couldn't help being a little puzzled: "What's wrong with Zhu Qing?"

Zhu Fu looked embarrassed, "Forgive me, Your Highness, this is the first time I have seen so much meat, and I am a little bit at a loss for what to do."

"Ok?"

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, he had never shared so much meat, no wonder Zhu Fu.

However, this matter was thought up by Guo An, so Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Guo An who was on the side.

"Does Guo Qing have any good ideas?"

Guo An cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, in my humble opinion, you can give me up and down the Prince Yan's mansion first, and everyone will share half a catty of pig meat, which should be enough.

In addition, the mutton is divided again, and the mutton is divided according to the grade of officials, from five to two to the next.

Furthermore, chicken and duck, as well as pig blood, duck blood...

Also, I feel that some of the artisans in the workshops and shop assistants are more or less considered members of my Yan Palace.

Therefore, it is necessary to distribute some to them, although it does not need to be too much, but it is also necessary to let them know that His Royal Highness King Yan has not forgotten them! "

Zhu Di nodded slightly, then turned to look at Zhu Fu who was beside him: "Zhu Qing, how about this method?"

Zhu Fu's beard flicked, and he said again and again: "Report to Your Highness, this method is very wonderful."

"good!"

Zhu Di said with satisfaction: "Then let's distribute it!"

"Follow the order!"

Now, without any hesitation, Zhu Fu and the other officials started to hand out the account books and distributed them.

As for Zhu Di and Guo An, they just stood quietly and watched.

Unknowingly, the sky has gradually dimmed.

And the small meat mountains in the several large rooms in the farm also quickly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is what we, King Yan, should do!"

Looking at all the officials and soldiers with excited faces, the pain in Zhu Di's heart disappeared unknowingly.

……

dark night.

The entire Beiping Mansion was plunged into darkness.

In a village in Wanping County, five figures suddenly appeared.

Everyone seems to be carrying a lot of things on their backs.

In his hand, he was holding a gleaming steel gun or steel knife.

A black shadow skillfully walked up to a house, and lightly knocked on the gate outside the courtyard. The sound of thump thump was very ear-piercing in the silent night.

"Father, mother, baby, open the door quickly, I'm back..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling sound in the room.

Then, an old voice tentatively asked, "But my son?"

"Father, it's me, Kui Sheng."

The man outside said quickly.

"Is it really Keisheng?"

There were a few surprised voices in the room.

"Squeak..."

Immediately, the door was opened.

An old man walked out slowly with a shovel in his hand, hunched over.

"Is it really Keisheng?"

"Father, it's me!"

The man said again.

Hearing this, the old man finally let go of his vigilance, and opened the courtyard door, allowing the man outside the door to come in.

"Kuisheng, why are you back at this hour? But what happened?"

After entering the house, the old man hurriedly asked.

At the same time, a young woman also walked in from the door in the dark with a boy in her arms.

"Father, mother, and Yingzi, don't worry, it's a good thing for me to come back this time, it's a great thing."

The strong man also knew what his parents and daughter-in-law were worried about, so he said quickly.

"What good thing?"

"Could it be that your kid has been promoted?"

The strong man quickly said: "Father and Mother, it is His Royal Highness King Yan who is waiting for the Yanshan Guard to distribute the New Year's goods to the child."

"Send New Year's goods?"

In the room, several people were surprised.

Immediately, the old man hurriedly asked: "What New Year's gift did His Highness King Yan send you?"

"Father, the boy is Xiaoqi, five taels of pig meat were distributed..."

"What, pig meat? Or five taels?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamation in the room. Although it was pitch black and invisible, the man could imagine the expressions of surprise on the faces of his parents and daughter-in-law.

Can't help grinning, and continued: "There are two taels of mutton, one tael of pig's blood, two fresh courgettes, and two taels of leeks."

"There are mutton, pig blood, fresh courgettes, and leeks?"

Suddenly, there was another sound of surprise in the room, and the breathing of several people in the room became rapid.

"Mother, go and light the oil lamp." The old man hurriedly shouted.

"Yes, it is necessary to point..."

After dark in the countryside, ordinary people would go to bed early to save money.

Even if there are oil lamps for lighting at home, they are only turned on when there is an emergency. On weekdays, there are no important things, and oil lamps will never be lit.

And tonight, not only did their son come back, but they also brought back so much meat, they had to take a look and make sure, otherwise they would miss him so much that they would not be able to sleep all night.

call!
As a simple oil lamp was carried by a white-haired old woman and walked over, the few people in the room could finally see the appearance of the man opposite.

He was wearing armor with a steel knife hanging from his waist.

Of course, what they were looking at was still the package that the man was carrying on his back.

"father?"

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, the little boy in the arms of the young woman at the side suddenly looked surprised.

"Haha, Shitou, dad brought you some meat."

The man laughed, and carefully took off the package on his back.

Then, it slowly opened in front of several people.

"This……"

Looking at it, there are several packages inside the large package.

The man opened the slightly larger package at the top, and there was a piece of frozen hog meat, a piece of frozen mutton, a small piece of frozen pork blood, two courgettes, and a handful of leeks inside.

However, no matter how careful the man was, there were still a few leeks that snapped into pieces.

"Sure enough, it's meat and vegetables!"

"This year, we can finally have a good meal of meat during Chinese New Year."

"His Royal Highness King Yan is merciful!..."

In the room, several people were overjoyed and tearful.

"Eat meat, eat meat, stones will eat meat..."

On the side, the little boy shouted with joy.

"Eat, eat, don't worry about stones, let your mother cook meat for you early tomorrow morning!"

The man gently stroked the little boy's head with a doting look on his face.

Afterwards, the old man and the old woman looked at the remaining packages.

"Kuisheng, what's in these?"

The man hurriedly replied: "Father and mother, this contains the meat New Year's goods that His Royal Highness King Yan sent to Da Shanzi, and Tie Hammer and the others.

This time, His Royal Highness Yan Wang's Mansion gave out New Year's goods to everyone, but we soldiers can't all ask for leave together and come back to deliver New Year's goods.

Therefore, Haier, Changping, Dagou and others came back overnight to deliver these New Year's goods. "

"These are also meat?"

Hearing this, the old woman quickly looked at the packages, with a glint of light shining in her cloudy eyes.

The man panicked, "Father and mother, the boy, Dashan, and Tiehammer all stand against each other, and we must not let their trust down!"

The old man also gave the old woman a hard look, "What are you thinking, woman, we are all neighbors, we see each other when we look up.

Moreover, Kuisheng and Tiehammer are in the same hundred households. If they go to the battlefield, they will block the knife one by one at a critical moment. Don't make such plans.

Otherwise, Kui Sheng would be harmed in the end..."

The old woman sighed softly, "No beating, no beating. I am a dying person, but I pity our little Shitou. From childhood to adulthood, I can't eat a few meals of meat all year round..."
