"Brother Hui Wu, you didn't come at noon, what are you..." The head looked at Hui Wu who came back in the afternoon, with a look of confusion on his face, as if he didn't know anything.
"Zhu Lichang, yes, do you have wine?" Hui Wu looked haggard.
"Yes, it's best to drink beer. It just so happens that everyone is gnawing on pig's trotters. Brother Hui Wu, I'm not bragging. I'm telling you, the sauced pig's trotters in our village are the most delicious."
The headman motioned for the other party to sit down first, and then personally brought water for the other party to wash his face. The man looked dejected.
The mint-flavored soap made Hui Wu feel much more comfortable. He raised his head and sighed: "Oh~~~God~~~"
"Brother Hui Wu, temporary difficulties are nothing. Life in my village was difficult in the past, but then..." the village leader stopped as he spoke.
"What happened next?" Hui Wu asked naturally.
"It got even harder later! After enduring it, I got used to it and accepted my fate, until one day..." The director stopped again.
"What's wrong?" Hui Wu still asked very cooperatively.
"Until one day a big disaster strikes, we really want to go back to before." The head of the village kept shaking his head.
"Ah! I...I think so too. Back to the day before yesterday, I picked up the purse on the ground without saying anything."
When Hui Wu was even more sad, he also felt that he had been unlucky to kill women in recent days.
"Zhu Lichang, you guys don't seem to be having a hard time now!" Hui Wu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"We have expert guidance, and we place the villagers in the sacrificial halls and mountain temples. He can live wherever he wants. He is responsible for lighting the lamps, and the lights are always on where he is. It's a good luck."
The chief said what he had agreed with Hanhan.
"Who is the village guard?" Hui Wu was really curious.
"Hanhan! Our Hanhan is the village guard." The village chief introduced.
"Hey! Hanhan, I, um! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian responded.
"Oh, oh! Zhu Lichang, where did you find the expert?" Hui Wu was anxious.
"It's not convenient to say, so why don't you go to my village and have a look. The fourth courtyard in my village is actually quite good."
The headmaster gave Hui Wu a look of understanding, and squeezed his left eye again, and his left eye flashed with wealth!
"Let me think about it." Hui Wuyi agreed immediately and changed the topic: "What's the difference between sauced pig's trotters and braised pig's trotters?"
“For sauce, use sauce to remove the juice at the end; for braise, use marinade, but without removing the juice at the end, you can marinate other dishes.
Look at the color, the sauce is dark, red, and marinated... I'll marinate it for you tomorrow and you'll know.
In the case of sauce, if the juice is not collected completely, it will become frozen in the end. It is not easy to freeze the brine, and it will not freeze either. "
The leader introduced, giving the other party a pig's trotter to drink with. He drank beer, but he didn't dare to drink white.
Today everyone eats soy sauce pig's trotters. Pig's trotters are cheap, have very little meat, and are all bones.
The children wanted to eat, so they raided a market and bought pork bones, pork ribs, pig offal, pork spine, and pig trotters at the lowest price.
Except for the pig intestines and lungs, everything else was completely sauced. I gave a lot of it to Fuhua House for them to sell and eat for myself.
Soak the pig intestines and lungs in well water, and put some ice in them. They are going to be braised tomorrow and need to be seared first.
The pig's trotters are boiled first and then sauced. The difference is that the collagen that is boiled first can be made into jelly, making it an extra dish.
It's better to have pig skin, but meat sellers basically don't kick off the skin before selling it.
The children held the pig's trotters and gnawed them. After finishing two pig's trotters, they drank the soup and ate the assorted fried rice.
Ham, diced carrots, diced cucumbers, bamboo fungus, shrimps, smoked fish, small meat picked from the big bones, stir-fried with eggs and chopped green onion.
The key point is that this rice is not the indica rice produced here, but the japonica rice from the north. It was steamed this morning and fried in the evening.
"Your village is really rich!" Hui Wu saw the fried rice and knew everything in it.
Children from ordinary families would never want to eat this once in their lives.
"We'll let the village guards take care of the sacrificial hall and the mountain temple. You have to go! Live in the first courtyard."
The director continued to invite, and it was after discussing with Hanhan.
Ask this person to go over and experience the local life so that others can be persuaded to come and become local officials. After all, having experience is better than having no knowledge of anything else.
Why was Zhu Yuanzhang anxious to take the imperial examination? Isn’t there a shortage of local officials? Even when he later killed officials violently, he required officials to work in chains.
Working in shackles is actually a form of mercy. If it is done well, the sentence can be reduced. Those who were originally skinned and made into straw can be changed to hanging, leaving a whole body.
Those who were originally hanged can be changed to prison terms, and those who were originally sentenced to prison will be given another chance.
If it were Zhu Wentian's time, it would be death anyway. Beheading and hanging would be better than beheading, and it would be over in one go.
People in the Ming Dynasty were not the same. They thought that the whole corpse was more important, and that it would be over once the skin was peeled off.
Just because the literacy rate of the people is low, even fewer can handle official documents.
Now in the early Hongwu period, under normal circumstances, officials from the previous dynasty could be exempted from crime and given official positions.
In the entire Xuancheng County, except for the county officials, among the 22 villages, only the head of Xiaqiu Village can write the official question book, and no one else knows the format of the question book.
Even if there is no Hanhan anymore, if the village chief is given a book about the Ming Dynasty, he can become the county magistrate.
As long as Hanhan is around, he can only be his lieutenant. Of course, the value of this village is higher than that of the magistrate.
Then the children ate and went to bed. Hui Wu got drunk from drinking beer, and he took the chief and started talking blah blah blah.
…
The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang had breakfast with his eldest son again. Empress Ma didn't mind that Concubine Sun accompanied him yesterday, just like the concubine who accompanied the prince to breakfast.
"Some officials of the Yuan Dynasty ran away. They did not fight to the death in Dadu and did not want to continue serving as officials in the north.
They hid all day, and there were officials from our Ming Dynasty there to contact them, but they didn't want to rebel.
They sent a person here to ask for help from the previous officials, but were stopped by Xiaqiu Village.
For three days in a row, no one was found, and I kept dealing with officials from Yuan County, hahaha! Hey hey hey! "
Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing after hearing what he said.
“The chief’s intention is to let this person go to Xiaqiu Village to visit and learn, and then contact other people in the north.
You can even teach the people in the North how to survive in the winter and make money in the winter.
In this way, it doesn't matter whether they want to come over immediately or cooperate with officials who have contact with them to achieve political achievements. "
Zhu Biao continued to explain the situation. He now also felt a sense of fear of the master. He felt that the master was invisible and was right next to him, always giving him ideas.
Or there is some secret channel through which the chief can quickly contact the master to gain support.
The key is to maintain this tacit understanding and not to take tough measures.
"Don't think about things you shouldn't think about. Just do what is beneficial to the court now."
Zhu Yuanzhang could see clearly that when he was locked up and starved, a girl gave him something, which burned his chest.
No matter how many people Ming Sheng kills, he still has to be made a marquis in the end and cannot kill.
After the seventh update, the farmer went to correct typos. Thanks!
