As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, there was a "buzz" and "buzz" sound below. Peeling the skin off the grass was something Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had done. After him, basically no one had done it.

Unexpectedly, I saw peeling grass again today.

Amidst the sounds of "buzz" and "buzz", a dozen burly men stood out from the crowd. Amid the screams of Director Yang and the Registrar, they were hung on the prepared shelves. Director Yang

And the main book, and those few writing styles are going crazy.

They never expected that it was just an imposter thing, and it would actually lead to a skinning!

Li Xiao was the Minister of War, and he had no authority to do this. But no one dared to stop Li Xiao from doing this. Even Lu Xiangsheng could only look on with a pale face. He was the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Army.

In the next two hours, blood, screams, red muscles, and colorful internal organs continuously impacted the officials' visual nerves.

It's miserable! It's not an ordinary tragedy! Everyone was trembling after seeing it, and not only one or two people were so scared that they peed their pants.

This is not about stabbing someone to death and then skinning them, but skinning them alive.

The sharp skinning knife peels off the skin bit by bit, revealing the dark red muscles inside. The executioners apply special secret medicine on the wound. In addition to the hemostatic function, it also has a certain analgesic effect. After peeling off the skin,

These people have to stay alive.

As a craft passed down from generation to generation, they have a strong craftsman spirit.

Two hours passed, and every person who was hung and howling in agony had a completely intact skin next to him. The person who had lost his skin was still alive, but he obviously had no strength. The screams were getting weaker and weaker.

In the end, it actually seemed like he was "humming" a song.

Everyone lost interest in talking, and the venue with thousands of people was eerily quiet. The cold wind blew by, and the dark red body was swaying. The human skin next to it was swaying in the wind like rags, like flags.

Occasionally, those dark red bodies would twist like maggots. Their current appearance was really hard to compare with the living people two hours ago.

"They are the first batch, but they will definitely not be the last batch. Gentlemen! I really don't want you to be hung on this shelf. I have heard of a way to bury people in the soil and leave only one

The head is exposed.

Then open a hole in the middle of the person's head and pour mercury into it continuously. After that, you will become more and more itchy, and as you itch, you will feel that your side is very slippery. Then you will come out of your own skin.

, it is said that such a person can live for three days before dying." Li Xiao paused and scanned the thousands of faces.

"If I hear about corruption and perversion of the law again, some of you will die like this. Again, I don't want you to have such an end. For a long time in your life, you should be a person and do things according to your duty.

Reach out! You can watch your son make great achievements, and you can watch your grandson babbling and learning languages.

You can doze off while recalling your past in this life on a sunny afternoon, instead of hanging on a shelf and being looked up to like a child." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he stood up and left.

The skinners quickly put away the skins, and they had to go on a tour throughout Shandong for exhibition. They couldn't do it until they were tanned.

The officials were about to leave in a hurry, when suddenly an even more shocking scene appeared.

I don’t know where a few mastiff dogs came from. These big dogs bared their teeth and rushed towards the people hanging on the shelves like crazy. The sound of wild dogs snatching food was very scary. Thousands of people looked at those big dogs like this.

They were biting. No one spoke, no one even exclaimed.

The dark red bodies were struggling violently like fish that landed on the beach, but the meat on their bodies was still bitten off piece by piece. Seeing that no one was paying attention, the bold crow fell down and began to pick up the pieces of meat on the ground to eat, and even more

The bolder ones landed on the head and pecked at the black eyes.

"Stern punishment! This is good!" Zhang Huangyan just smiled when he heard the news.

As an old guy who turned into a human spirit, he understands human nature deep down.

The greatest function of punishment is to deter!

When the benefits are great enough, the deterrent effect of beheading is no longer enough to curb people's hearts. Then this kind of cruel killing becomes a necessary method, and cutting into pieces by a thousand cuts is just a conventional method in the art of killing.

Li Xiao's skinning method was very good. Not only did it have extraordinary educational significance at the time, but the skins of these people could also be preserved for a long time to serve as a warning to future generations.

I believe that after these skins travel around Shandong, no one will dare to commit any trouble. Especially about the veterans of the Liao Army! After all, no one wants to be skinned and then fed to dogs while they are still alive.

.

From now on, when your neighbors ask your descendants, where is your father buried? You can't just say that a funeral shed was built in the dog's belly and the dog's body was buried.

"I didn't think too much. I just thought that the interests of the Liao army should not be violated by this group of unscrupulous people. The soldiers bleed and sweat on the front line, and they shed tears when they are injured and discharged. I, Li Xiao, can't do that." Military thinking,

Let Li Xiao speak from the perspective of a soldier.

"Only a general like you who is worthy of his subordinates can have a soldier who can die on the battlefield. The Liao army is unparalleled in combat power, and you account for a big reason. But you can only do it piece by piece, one by one.

Now we already have a large territory in Guanzhong, Liaodong, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangsu. In total, we have half of Liaodong. If you check everything one by one like this, you can

You are exhausted. Where do you have time to direct the war, and how do you have time to handle government affairs with Mr. Sun?"

"...!" Li Xiao was speechless. He is a soldier and naturally thinks like a soldier. Fighting is Li Xiao's forte. Dealing with court affairs and playing politics, Li Xiao is not good at it. Those who can mount a horse and command troops can dismount.

The best in governing the people is very rare. At least, Li Xiao is not such a talent.

"This court! It must have a system. What is a system? It is a method that can be applied to all countries. I think your method is good. From now on, any person who pretends to be a disabled soldier will have a place for retirement placement.

All of them will be skinned and dried, and the grass will be passed down for viewing. Then they will be hung in the public house to warn future generations."

"Yes, let's do it." Li Xiao immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's time to have a figure like a patrol censor! The current imperial court's Metropolitan Procuratorate is in name only, and it seems that it should be rectified. I think we should discuss it with Mr. Sun. Should we replace the Metropolitan Procuratorate with two governors?

Censor!"

"Change two?" The current left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are two friends of Sun Chuanting, one of whom is the famous Hou Xun. Li Xiao still respects this kind of idol figure.

"Hou Xun and Chen Hongtai are both experienced officials. They are as hard to grasp as glass beads. These two positions need to be filled by people who are not afraid of tigers. I think Zheng Sen and Wu Ciyou should be suitable.

Candidate.

I heard that when the plague broke out in the capital, the commander-in-chief organized the Patriotic Guards Association, and these two people are very useful in killing decisively. I think these two young men will be fine." Zhang Huangyan recommended Zheng Sen and Wu Ciyou.

This made Li Xiao a little unexpected.

"Are you too young?" Zheng Sen is only sixteen years old this year, and Wu Ciyou is only twenty-one. Wu Ciyou is better, and Zheng Sen is only a junior high school graduate.

"You can't do it unless you're young! If you get involved with old youtiaos, they will work hard and not put in effort. You expect them to offend others in the next life!" Zhang Huangyan knows very well how smooth those old youtiaos who have been around for a long time can be. Now the people in charge of government affairs in the imperial court are also

Even Sun Chengzong, Li Xiao's political skills are simply not enough to compare with them.

"Well, then I'll write a letter to Mr. Sun and tell him about this." Li Xiao nodded. After all, Zheng Sen is his student. Although he is young at sixteen, it is still time to beat him up. Young Eagle

After all, you have to be beaten before you can soar into the sky!

"The Third Division will set off to attack Yangzhou in seven days. The old fisherman is complaining that the newly established gunpowder workshop is not efficient. I am afraid that the ammunition can only be given priority to the Third Division. I gave 80% of the ammunition to Cao Wenzhao and Ao Ye

If you want to come to me to fight in the ring, you have to take care of this matter for me, otherwise Mr. Ao will lose his temper, and my strength is not enough for him." Zhang Huangyan smiled helplessly.

Two famous thorns in the Liao army, Man Ye and Ao Ye. They were both people who gave each other a headache when they saw them! In addition to selling Li Xiao's face, they were also honest in front of Sun Chengzong.

Mao Wenlong is an example. Master Ao went to Shanhaiguan. Mao Wenlong hid in the capital, and Master Ao arrived in the capital. Mao Wenlong hurried back to Shanhaiguan, but he was unwilling to meet Master Ao.

Zhang Huangyan, a smart man, naturally did not want to face these two disgusting guys.

"Master Ao has arrived in Jinan?"

"It should be here soon. You have to carry it for me. I'm going to Huangdao. The second master said he wants to build a military port there."

"Oh! Huangdao, the geographical location is good. To guard the strategic point of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, a military port should be built. I was poor before, but now I have spare money, so I should buy two good ships for my second son." Li Xiao remembered.

, Li Xiu has written several times, asking Li Xiao to get him some useful ships. The five five-masted ships and some small ships alone are not enough to control the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. Not to mention, Li Xiu now

The defense zone also includes the East China Sea.

The pressure on this second master's shoulders is also great.

From ancient times to the present, one of the characteristics of the navy is that it burns money. If you don’t have money and want to play the navy, you are dreaming.

In the past, Li Xiao's money was very tight, and it was impossible for him to have enough money to build warships for Li Xiu. Li Xiu could only rely on a few captured warships and some small boats to control the vast sea area. On windy days, everyone had to

Staying in the harbor, there are not many ships that can go out to sea.

Last year, land was distributed in Shandong, and the people's enthusiasm for labor increased unprecedentedly. Coupled with the widespread cultivation of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, the grain output more than doubled, which was much better than the previous cultivation of wheat alone.

The people of Shandong finally tasted the benefits of having three meals a day. Li Xiao went to the farm and saw the children with chipped teeth gnawing potatoes. The smiling old people were drinking big rice porridge, and the strong young people were eating.

It was a joy to eat the stick noodle pastry. Li Xiao felt happy for a while!

Five thousand years! This nation has been hungry for five thousand years, which is sad to say. During the famous Wenjing rule and Zhenguan rule, the average life span of the Chinese nation at that time did not exceed forty years.

Walking in the villages he saw in the countryside, Li Xiao could hardly see anyone over the age of sixty. The energy of a fifty-year-old man was even worse than that of an eighty-year-old man in later generations.

If you think about it with your buttocks, you will know that half the year is food and half the year is wild vegetables. The bowl is filled with a bunch of green and mushy stuff, and it is eaten like this for at least a few months a year. Many wild vegetables are toxic. If you want to live longer, you will have to eat them over time.

What a strong body you have at 100 years old.

It has been rare since ancient times for people to live seventy years! Li Xiao's heart bleeds when he thinks about this sentence. We, the most industrious and tenacious nation in the world, have been rare since ancient times to live over seventy years old.

This is God's injustice!

How wonderful it is now that there are no more good-looking children in the streets and alleys. The half-grown boys who are as strong as calves run wildly for their lives. No matter how strong a man is, they will knock him over.

The food harvest was unprecedented, and the villagers naturally started the most primitive natural economy.

The official family collected the extra grain from the villagers' homes. The first reaction of the villagers who had spare money over the years was to buy two pigs. The word "jia" first meant that there was a pig under the house.

Even if the pigs don't take advantage of it, how dare you call it your home?

Of course, another use of pigs is to save money.

Many farmers bury their money in pig pens based on the experience passed down by old people. Now the pig pens of farmers are heavily guarded. As long as the pigs in the pig pen are made to grunt, there will be a big man holding a manure fork.

Jump out and fight to the death with you.

There are also some smart people who know that eggs can be sold for money in the city. This thing is also durable! So these smart guys came up with the idea of ​​raising chickens. They can't eat too much, but they can sell eggs for a lot of money in a year.

.The shortcut to getting rich!

The most direct consequence of the bumper harvest is the mountains of various grains piled up in the government warehouses. There are cars on the official roads all day long, transporting grains from Shandong and Hebei to Shanxi, and also to Guanzhong and Henan.

Those places were devastated by war, and then ravaged by plague. The people's lives were miserable, and this food was life-saving food for them.
