Chapter five hundred and ninetieth: planning [two in one chapter]
Zhou Heng looked at Zhu Yunmo and laughed, not knowing how much Zhu Yunmo could know, but he seemed to understand something anyway.
"What does the prince understand? Why don't you tell me?"
Zhu Yunmo leaned against the carriage and took out a pack of melon seeds from somewhere, and said with a smile while eating:
"You still need to ask the emperor to directly cancel the ban on killing cows, so that you can get beef yellow more easily, so that the Angong beef yellow pills will be cheaper."
Zhou Heng glanced at him. This guy was a little silly. He really didn't know whether to praise him for being smart or stupid.
"I guessed it right, that is, the ban on killing cattle must be lifted. As long as the price of cattle is higher than that of sheep, ordinary people will not choose to kill cattle, but high-ranking officials or wealthy families can still bear it.
In this way, it is naturally easier to find some beef yellow, but this thing was originally scarce, and even if the price was reduced, it was very limited. Which people can afford Angong Niuhuang Pills?
However, after the cow can be slaughtered, many mudflat grasslands and places where they cannot be planted can be used to raise cattle. In the future, when eating hot pot, you won’t set traps everywhere, waiting for the cow to fall to death. Our Chuanchuanxiang can make an extra livelihood, which is a small butter hot pot.
Needless to mention beef, yellow throat, louver, cow blood, cow brain, cow heart, cow lungs, anyway, everything on cow can be eaten, even cow leather can be made shoes, which are much more durable than ordinary cloth shoes. Look, the Tartars wear cow leather boots, which are especially suitable for marching.
Beef cattle are bred and raised in large quantities. Our corn rods also have various forages, which can be made into special feed. These are not ordinary forages. Originally, eating a bucket of hay can make you full, but eating less than half of such feed is enough. Who is the most interested in such things?”
When Zhou Heng started talking about what to eat, Zhu Yunmo couldn't sit still. Until he finally said the feed, Zhu Yunmo blinked and threw away the melon seeds.
Although this idea is novel, Zhu Yunmo knew that Zhou Heng could say it, there must be a way to do it. No one needs to say about the importance of the forage. He knew very well that this was also because many fields could not be cultivated, because these grass also needed to be supplied to military supplies.
There is a saying that before the troops move, food and grass go first. You can imagine how important this grass is. If Lupingbei is here, I would probably be the first to drool in surprise.
"What you mean is that you want to use this Angong Niuhuang Pill to let the emperor see the disadvantages of the cattle ban order. Then we let him see the various benefits of raising cattle again. Let's cancel this cattle ban order first, right?"
Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but was not stupid enough. It was not difficult to do these things together. After all, it was a waste to burn a large amount of corn stalks directly after corn planting. That thing was sweet and cows liked to eat it very much.
"Today, Fang Jizhong will talk to His Majesty about the effects of Angong Niuhuang Pills. Liu Renjie is only a few taels of beef yellow accumulated by generations in his family. He doesn't want to give the Empress Dowager a pill to save his life?
This is difficult to find even if the whole country looks for it, and the oxen is really true and false, so he will think about it.
If you ask me at this time, it is better to talk about this series of ideas, so don’t worry. We all say that going to rush is not a business, but you can go to Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion first."
Zhu Yunmo's face suddenly had interest, and he raised his hand to pat the carriage. Boss Xue lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked suspiciously:
"What are the instructions for the young master?"
"Can there be Wuliangye on the car?"
Boss Xue grinned and looked honest.
"Yes, this car is naturally equipped with four or five boxes. I wonder if these are enough?"
Zhou Heng nodded, "It's not necessary to use that much. Just carry two boxes to Ningyuan Hou in a while. Let's go to Ningyuan Hou's mansion to see the old marquis. I don't know how they all recovered?"
Boss Xue should put down the curtain, and the carriage turned around at the intersection and turned directly to another road.
Zhu Yunmo glanced at Zhou Heng, and the expression on his face was a little strange. After all, Zhou Heng had been avoiding seeing Miss Xiu'er since he was calling back.
The initial Tiansha Lone Star was beaten like this, but now that he has become Zhongyuan Bo, Zhu Yunmo couldn't help asking:
"Or why we go to Huichuntang first. Miss Xiu'er was named the county lord. I should have congratulations."
Zhou Heng shook his head, "I just told you that she has been at Beishan Women's Medical College these days. She has entered the final exam stage and has to allocate her future work locations according to the test scores. So she will be in Beishan these days and will not go back to Zhou's mansion. Let's talk about it when she finishes."
Zhu Yunmo didn't say anything anymore. After about two cups of tea, the carriage stopped with Boss Xue's appeal.
At this time, a servant had already come over. After all, the sign of Huichuntang in the carriage was so obvious. Zhou Heng was a distinguished guest of Ningyuan Hou Mansion, and he greeted him with a smile.
"Your Majesty Zhou and the Prince are here. You two don't have to get out of the car and just go into the yard. The wife of the Hou Mansion passes the message. You two come, you don't have to get in directly without having to pass on the news."
Zhou Heng smiled and got off the car with Zhu Yunmo. Although this was polite and Ning Yuanhou's intention, Zhou Heng could not be proud of it. After all, they are all younger generations, so they still have to have the respect they should have.
"It's okay, Brother Xue is holding Wuliangye. Let's go in. Please lead the way."
The servant smiled even more sincerely and quickly asked someone to help Boss Xue carry the wine, so he quickly took Zhou Heng and the others into the mansion.
At this moment, someone had already gone to communicate with each other. As soon as he entered the flower hall, Lu Pingbei walked in quickly to sit down.
Zhou Heng was slightly stunned. After all, Zhou Heng was surprised at this time. He didn't dare to be arrogant at all. He stood up to greet Lu Pingbei.
Lu Pingbei smiled and saw the two boxes of wine, he kept shaking his head.
"Uncle Zhongyuan and the prince don't need to be so polite. Why do you bring gifts when you come? But this wine is really good. I've tasted it once, why did you bring two boxes?"
Zhou Heng has a black thread at the end. Listen to this, it seems like a book that the Secretary should say, and there are only two boxes. It’s a lot of expensive things. Why do you think it’s too little if you can give it?
"I dare not take too much, the key is that I am afraid that Ningyuan Hou will drink too much, so Shangshu Lu still calls me Zhou Hengzizai."
Zhu Yunmo laughed aside, and saw that the Lu Shangshu had not even left Wuliangye, he was a little hilarious.
"Even if I want to drink the Wuliangye of Shangshu Lu, Zhou Heng will control it. Because the output is too small, there is nothing I can do about it. Even if the peach blossoms produce 100 boxes, this one cannot be produced."
"Okay, then I won't force you. After all, I really can't afford to pay for money by myself. It would be great if I could get it. In this way, my father can make an appointment with three or five friends again."
Lu Pingbei quickly asked the two to sit down and the servants brought tea.
After all sitting down, Zhou Heng looked at Lu Pingbei. He knew that he had been promoted to Count when he spoke. Obviously, the government and the country had spread, so it was not convenient to ask about this matter.
"I came here today to see Ningyuanhou. After all, after coming back these days, there have been constant disputes and I have no time to come and sit down."
Lu Pingbei's expression on his face became a little serious. When Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo came back, they went to Baohe Palace. Although he was not present, he heard that it was really dangerous at that time. If they hadn't walked quickly and the old emperor also estimated that the military supplies, Zhou Heng might have been burned to death or executed at that time.
"I know this, but I don't know the details of the cause and effect. I just went to the morning court and said that my Majesty would build a relic pagoda in Baohua Temple to worship the Buddha bones and true relics presented by Master Xuyun.
He also said that monk Jingyi was asked to devote himself to studying Buddhism for the Sali Pagoda. As for the presidency, he would follow Master Xuyun's advice, and Master Yicheng was temporarily appointed as the position.
However, it is reported that Shuntian Mansion captured twelve Japanese monks yesterday. Some people said that they were fake monks, and some people said that those Japanese monks violated the criminal law. Anyway, Lord Zhang Fuling from Shuntian Mansion refused to reveal a word."
Zhou Heng sighed and looked at Lu Pingbei with a serious look on his face.
"It's better for Mr. Lu to not know about this."
Lu Pingbei looked interested and leaned forward.
"This is not a court, so it's okay to talk about it."
Zhu Yunmo waved his hand and gave Zhou Heng a blank look.
"Zhou Heng is just afraid of offending people. I'm not afraid of me, that's the case!"
Then Zhu Yunmo was happy and explained everything clearly. He even didn't let go of the twelve fake Japanese monks' ring scars on their heads. After hearing this, Lu Pingbei's face looked really bad.
They are all people who have been living in the court for many years. I don’t know what such methods are. I know that it is controlled by someone later, and even the old emperor can feel it.
As for whether to check or not, it is no longer important. From the attitude of the empress dowager, at least the direction is there.
"Well, Zhou Heng's attitude is very right. This matter is not easy to be public. Your Majesty knows everything, but at this time the other party will naturally break it clean. The deeper the investigation, the more people you involve. Your Majesty has to punish you. In the end, all the resentment may fall on you."
Zhou Heng nodded. He thought of this and then smiled and looked indifferent.
"It seems that it is still too ostentatious, and it makes people think that I am more dangerous, so this happened. However, such a person cannot be accomplished without three or four years from layout to implementation. This is why His Majesty did not let His Majesty kill Monk Jingyi.
This person is a shock to those people when he is alive. Although it is impossible to guarantee whether they can restrain themselves, at least they will be cleaned up and retreat, so that we can also purify them for a while."
Lu Pingbei nodded, but unexpectedly, the boy in front of him not only had amazing medical skills, but his mind was also really meticulous. It was okay to think of these things, at least it was okay to save your life, and that worry was a little lighter.
"That's good. I'm really afraid that you will be disappointed. After all, military supplies are imminent. Military doctors from all over the country have already rushed to the capital one after another. It takes less than half a month to join. If you are affected here, I can't explain to the garrisons in various places."
Zhou Heng smiled and hurriedly hugged his fists.
"It was Zhou Heng's fault that made Lu Shangshu worried. He went to treat Mr. Xu Ge Lao today at the order of His Majesty, so he delayed a little, otherwise he would come in the morning."
Lu Pingbei was really stunned this time. He knew Mr. Xu's character. He had taken out the old emperor's test paper in the imperial study room before. He also took over the imperial examination invigilator. He and his grandson's behavior in Huichun Hall are well known. It is indeed surprising that Zhou Heng can help.
"I can't do it anymore?"
Zhou Heng nodded, "The situation crisis is also due to the unfavorable diagnosis and treatment, which delayed for three days. After all, he is more rejecting the new doctor. There is no way for Liu Yuan to contribute all the ancestral beef yellow in his family. I have only made three Angong ox yellow pills, which are considered to be a way to save my life, but my speech will be affected in the future."
Lu Pingbei suddenly realized that he remembered that the Xu family was a blacklisted member of Huichuntang, but he refused to treat the disease. It seemed that his Majesty invited Zhou Heng to come over, but what kind of medicine is this that actually saved the dying person.
"This medicine is so powerful, it is really a elixir for the living dead!"
Zhou Heng shook his head, Zhu Yunmo knew that it was time for him to appear.
"This medicine is full of precious medicinal materials, so I won't talk about it. This beef yellow is extremely rare. There is only one of ten thousand cows. One of them can have one or two taels. Liu Renjie found seven taels this time and only made three pills after removing impurities. You can imagine how rare it is."
Lu Pingbei nodded and took a deep breath. He originally wanted to ask Zhou Heng if he could book one or two pills for his father to take care of the emergencies. Needless to say, this time, he naturally couldn't afford it.
He pondered for a moment and sighed.
"Yes, this cattle is the main force in my Daliang's cultivation, so it cannot be raised and slaughtered. This is naturally not easy to obtain this cattle."
Zhou Heng raised his eyes and looked at Lu Pingbei. He relaxed a little when he saw the topic being introduced.
"In fact, there is no difference between cattle and sheep. As long as they are properly raised, they have very strong reproductive ability. Whether it is farming or meat-eating, it is not a problem. However, a large amount of land is used for cultivation and grasslands are scarce, so the forage is not easy to obtain, which is not conducive to large-scale feeding."
Lu Pingbei nodded, Zhou Heng was right. This large area of grassland only exists in the west. Although there are grasslands in other places, many people secretly plant them, so the forage in the food and grass is the least easy to supply.
"It is true, the quality of the forage is uneven. In many cases, we can only save food and feed horses, so this has always been a difficult problem during the march."
Zhu Yunmo almost couldn't help laughing. Lu Pingbei was really giving face, so he said it to this, which saved a lot of quarrels. He quickly followed and said:
"We also encountered such a problem during this Datong rescue. Although the marching speed of a thousand people was fast, there was too much food and grass to keep up with the speed. We could only feed the horses with food, and it was better until we arrived in Datong."
Lu Pingbei looked at the two of them, clasped his fists in the direction of the palace and said:
"Your Majesty has also thought of many ways. He hopes that the western provinces will support the east, so the cost of transporting it is really objective, and the loss on the way is extremely serious. The loss in the south is about 30% of the food and grass shipment that arrives in Beijing, while the loss in the northwest will reach 40% or 50%."
Zhou Heng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the loss was so much. In addition to the greed and normal loss, it was obviously related to improper preservation.
