The big rat died in the hands of the guards, and An Ran did not do anything. Not to mention that he was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, even if he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he would not be able to stab the mouse with his chopsticks.
Zhou Zong, the man with the sword, wanted to get close to the mouse several times, but he never dared to leave his post.
The sudden appearance of the mouse was taken away, no one was punished, and everyone continued to eat and drink.
An Ran, who was frightened by the big mouse, asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty! Are we going to build the cement fortress? General Xu and others have captured prisoners, why not..."
“Bring the prisoners there back to mine, and send people there again to prevent the prisoners from escaping.
The battle report said that prisoners who surrendered in advance were given wages, allowed to bring their families to live here, and were responsible for finding work.
We, the Ming Dynasty, have few people killed in battle, so we will follow this arrangement. We cannot break our promises.
Soldiers who were killed or wounded in battle were to follow the original method. In addition, those who died in the battle in Xiaqiu Village will receive 200 guan each, and those who were injured and disabled will receive 50 guan each.
We will also give the same amount of money so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty know that they have no worries if they die fighting for their country. "
Zhu Yuanzhang became generous. He had money and few people died in the battle, so he would give more.
Xiaqiu Village will help arrange work for the families of soldiers who died in the war, and those with children will also be sent to the library.
The injured and disabled are also given jobs, so he doesn't need to worry about this. There are many jobs in Xiaqiu Village.
Even if it doesn't happen, Xiaqiu Village can still arrange a temporary deal to bring people in.
If those who win the war are rewarded vigorously, who will still become a deserter?
There are penalties for deserters, including deduction of money for the flag and the officer on it.
An Ran nodded and continued to eat his own food. It was not up to him how much money to pay, he only needed to know how to build the fort.
"Your Majesty, you are bringing the expedition team back, but you want to adjust the defense?" Wu Lin, Minister of War, said.
"Sending people over to protect the people who were building the fort, the local people suffered from the war, and Beiyuan thought about it at the last moment and ransacked it.
To recruit them to mine, burn cement and build forts, they can be given twenty cash per day.
Protective measures must be followed. During the two grinding and one burning processes, the person crushing must wear a mask.
Those are the people of Ming Dynasty, and we provide them with meals while they work. "
Zhu Yuanzhang also took care of the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs in one sentence. When he had no money, he would be picky and fussy, but if he had money, he would be more generous to the people.
When he has no money, he can tire out the people in Xiu Zhongdu and use the victory-weary technique on him.
If you analyze him from a psychological perspective, you will come to many conclusions. In fact, he is short of money.
With more money, the treatment of people in the palace and the treatment of ministers will improve.
He can also eat meat every day, burn a fire in the winter, and use an ice basin in the summer.
So the next night, he happily entertained the ministers again, without paying a penny, and everything was prepared by Xiaqiu Village.
"It's too dark. We agreed to treat us to dinner and celebrate together, but we ended up providing food and drinks."
Zhu Wentian muttered on the way over, and the people in Xiaqiu Village were busy all afternoon.
Because today's scene is big, everyone from the harem is here, and fireworks will be set off just like during the Chinese New Year.
There will be a lot of things prepared in this way, both in terms of quantity and variety.
"Hanhan, stop talking like that. We're almost there. The people from Guanglu Temple are in charge of grilling and plating.
Guanglu Temple was too busy with what we talked about yesterday afternoon, and the ingredients they brought had to be checked.
Now they were brought in after taking a shower and changing clothes, their fingernails were cut, and their hair had the same hairpins.
You have to think the best of His Majesty, even though His Majesty sometimes... Uh-huh! Your Highness, why are you here? "
As the leader was speaking, the team turned at a right angle, and then Zhu Biao's figure appeared in front. He was carrying a pink glazed lamp.
“Let’s come and find the women in your village where the curtains are being drawn. Some of the women from the harem are there, and the Crown Princess is also there.
Send a few of you over to accompany the Crown Princess and take care of our baby.
Today's banquet was so large that we finally drove Bei Yuan away. It wasn't easy! "
Zhu Biao came to find someone to accompany his wife, but he was worried about others.
For example, if someone wanted to see his underage son, the maids of the Prince's Palace were suppressed due to etiquette, but they promised to go back, but they were left worried.
The women in Xiaqiu Village don't care about anyone other than Queen Ma and Concubine Sun, so what about your emperor's women?
The key point is that the women in Xiaqiu Village are working hard to study medicine so that they can easily deal with problems when they arise.
"Go, mother-in-law! Call the people who usually go there." The head of the village ordered his wife.
"Okay! I'll call ten people." The eldest daughter-in-law sees the princess every day and is very familiar with her.
She led ten people to speed up and pass first.
Zhu Biao's lamp was taken over by the headmaster. He took out his silk handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "It's not cool at night in the dog days."
"Your Highness, you know that the summer in the north is also hot. As the saying goes, you will sweat even if it is not hot in the summer, and you will shiver even if it is not cold in the middle of the twelfth lunar month."
The director said, looking at the candle flame in the glass lamp, he felt it was awkward. The wick was too long, and when it bent, the flame moved randomly.
Zhu Wentian took out two sticks and, like using chopsticks, reached into the lamp and cut off the wick. Then he handed the sticks to Zhu Biao: "Rub, eh! Hey hey hey hey!"
Zhu Biao used his silk handkerchief to wipe off the black dust on the front of the sign: "Put it away. There was a big mouse during dinner yesterday afternoon. If you were here, it would fly to death."
"Hey!" Zhu Wentian put away the sign.
He was right, because the silk handkerchief held by Prince Zhu Biao was the cheapest, and the people in Xiaqiu Village wore gorgeous clothes.
"Hanhan, next time you bring your own silk handkerchiefs, I can prepare a few for you." Zhu Biao felt that he was at a disadvantage.
"Here he is, hey!" Zhu Wentian took out his own clean silk handkerchief and showed it to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao: "..."
…
As usual, the song and dance performance began, and the ministers chatted among themselves.
People from Xiaqiu Village stayed on the bridge and burned a lot of mosquito coils.
The director and Zhu Wentian were still called to Zhu Yuanzhang, but this time Zhu Wentian's friends also followed him.
The other children were still young and stayed on the bridge for fear of saying the wrong thing.
The little girl and others brought their own oven and grilled small skewers, instead of eating the big skewers that were used to grill and cut the meat down.
To put it bluntly, they grilled it while threading it, soaked the bamboo skewers in water, then threaded the marinated meat and handed it to the grilling companions.
Otherwise, you can only use a fan to fan yourself, otherwise the bamboo stick will break.
The fan is normal, but it will make the gray bigger now, so it is not suitable.
The skewers they wear are mainly provided for the women and children in the back. The meat skewers for children should be tender and sweet.
Don't be afraid of being fat. Children can eat fat meat very well. They can chew it until it's full of oil and not greasy.
But you can’t feed your baby so much fat meat, so break up the lean meat. When making hand-made meatballs, you need to beat them while making them firm, usually twisting in one direction.
Just disrupt it when doing it for your baby. The technique is very simple.
Add some starch to the meat to maintain it, and then grill it, and it will become a kebab that is loose when you eat it, and the meat is lean and chewy.
