Chengcheng County suddenly became lively.
The common people who got the news all gathered towards the Yamen.
"What are you doing today?"
"Don't you know yet? The county magistrate just sent someone to inform you that today is a holiday."
"The Spring Festival is only ten days away. What festival is today?"
"Tianzun Bacon Potato Rice Festival."
"What weird knot?"
"The name is too long."
The people in the county have never seen the world. If they were the people in Gaojia Village, they would have guessed a lot by now. However, the people in the county still don’t know how much of a slut Tianzun is, and they still need to slowly get in touch with Tianzun. Studying.
Nearly ten thousand people poured into the square and immediately smelled the strong fragrance.
The county magistrate, Liang Shixian, sat in the back and monitored the scene just like he used to do when giving porridge to the people. In front of him were a large group of government servants, helpers, and peasants, who were putting huge rice, huge pieces of meat, and huge strange things into a huge spoon. of yellow lumps, cut, minced, mixed together, and handed to the person at the front of the line.
The person in front picked up the chopsticks and put it into his mouth, with a wonderful expression on his face: "Ah, it's delicious..."
“It smells so good!”
"The bacon and rice are so delicious. What is this yellow thing? It's so delicious."
"Tianzun just issued a decree. This yellow thing is called potatoes. It is a very new crop. If we get the seeds in the future, we must plant them."
"Yeah, but where can I get the seeds for this thing?"
"I heard there is one in Xi'an!"
"The next time Xing Honglang comes to collect our embroidery and take it to Xi'an, he will buy back the potato seeds."
"Hey, okay, I'm going to plant some to try. This stuff is really delicious."
The best way to promote new crops is to let them try it themselves. Once they eat it, all their doubts will be solved.
At this time, another group of people arranged by Liang Shixian was already preparing food for Wang Chengen's department.
There were 1,500 people in Wang Chengen's department. This number of people had to eat a lot. Liang Shixian's people chopped all the huge rice grains and chunks into pieces and put them in huge boxes. bucket, and then use a cart to load the rice bucket.
Let the civilian husband push a large number of carts out of the city and walk towards Wang Chengen's camp.
Wang Chengen had just heard strange cheers coming from the county town, and he couldn't figure out what these people were making. Suddenly, he saw the city gate opening, and a large number of cars driving out, all carrying delicious food.
This made him say "Huh".
Liang Shixian came to him and smiled: "The general has come a long way and has to go to Heyang County to suppress bandits. He has a long way to go. The people of this county are impressed by the general's virtue in suppressing bandits, so they specially prepared many delicious food to reward the whole army."
Wang Chengen was stunned, is there such a good thing?
Wherever our officers and soldiers go, the common people always avoid us, so I ordered that we are not allowed to enter the county town, so as not to scare the people in the city. I didn't expect that these people would actually give us food. This... this is really... ..
A little touched!
Liang Shixian: "God is watching. The general can afford this."
Wang Chengen clasped his fists: "That would be disrespectful."
He gave the order, and 1,500 soldiers gathered around and took the big bucket filled with potato rice from the civilian husband. Just after smelling it, his expression changed: "It smells so good!"
"This...this rice is mixed with meat particles..."
"Look, there are such big pieces of bacon. The bacon is so fragrant."
"There are also strange yellow roots, I don't know what they are."
The soldier brought a bowl to Wang Chengen and said, "General, try it. This rice is really delicious."
Wang Chengen was not as short of food as ordinary soldiers. He was tired of eating bacon and so on, but he was shocked after taking one bite.
The taste of this rice is so rich. It is the crystallization of the technology and hard work of later generations. What MSG, chicken essence, seasoning, salt and other random things are added to it. I am afraid that even the chef who made this rice cannot figure it out.
Wang Chengen said in astonishment: "This rice is so delicious! These yellow things should be potatoes. I have eaten them in Xi'an, but I have only eaten boiled potatoes. I didn't expect to break them into pieces and steam them with the rice. It will be so fragrant...with bacon bits mixed in, it will be perfect."
Liang Shixian smiled: "The general will return to his base in the future. We might as well let the guards grow potatoes. If the method is used properly, the yield will be very high, which will also play a very good role in alleviating the famine."
Wang Chengen nodded: "Since Mr. Liang has said so, of course I will give it a try."
He turned around and looked at his soldiers, all of whom looked satisfied with their meals. He couldn't help but sigh: "In this expedition, the soldiers are hungry and their morale is low. This general is quite worried about the battle. I didn't expect to have such a good meal in Chengcheng County, and the morale of the soldiers has also improved. If we go to Heyang County, we will definitely succeed in the battle and bring the moon over the mountains back to Xi'an for questioning."
Liang Shixian: "Then please leave it to the general."
As soon as the two of them said this, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves "Deer Deer", and a fast horse came galloping from the southwest. The knight on the horse ran while shouting: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, hurry up!" Eight hundred miles urgent... The governor of Shaanxi... has an order... Please ask General Wang to take the order..."
Wang Chengen was startled and greeted loudly: "General, I am here. What is your order? Come and tell me."
On horseback, the knight came running wildly. When he arrived in front of Wang Chengen, he didn't even have time to dismount properly. He rolled directly off the horse and fell hard on the ground. He got up without caring about the pain and said hurriedly: "October 27th , the Jiannu soldiers were divided into three groups. They attacked Da'ankou all the way, and the general Zhou Zhen died; they attacked Longjing Pass all the way, and attacked Hongshankou all the way. The general Zhang Ande and others fled, and Zhang Wanchun surrendered. Jizhou was besieged. In November, Martial law in the capital......
"In November, Huang Taiji personally supervised the army to attack Longguan, and with the Mongolian Kalqintai Jibulgatu as a guide, they captured Hongshan Pass. The other generals captured Da'an Pass and met in Zunhua. Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, led the troops to help. He died in battle in Zunhua, and the entire army was wiped out. Governor Wang Yuanya, Baoding governor Li Xianming, Yongping governor He Tianqiu, Zunhua magistrate Xu Ze, former magistrate Wu Qiqian, etc. occupied the city and refused to defend it, and they all died after the city was broken."
When this news came out, Wang Chengen's expression changed drastically: "The capital is in danger."
The knight said: "The imperial court ordered the governors of various places to supervise King Huojiqin... The governor asked General Wang to return to Xi'an immediately, and together with the other four town generals Wu Zimian, You Shilu, Yang Qi, and Yang Jiamo, they went to defend the capital."
Wang Chengen almost lost his job: "What if this general leaves? What will happen to Heyang Mountain Moon? That guy is still doing evil in Heyang County under the guise of an officer and soldier."
