Straight man of steel

Chapter 185 Appoint Xue Ren
In the afternoon of the same day, six military marquis who had not paid their salaries were sent to Chang'an together with Wei Qing's memorial.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the Qimen soldiers who went deep into Lantian Mountain to hunt returned to the camp one after another.

There are so many birds and beasts in this era that Zhang Yuan doesn't feel like he is in reality, but in an illusion.

Ancient books often record that the emperor went on a hunting trip, and the army drove the animals out of the forest. It is no exaggeration to say that the momentum is earth-shattering.

Until today, when Zhang Yuan saw nearly a thousand wild animals piled up on the school field, he realized that if Liu Che wanted to live a real extravagant life, it would be no problem to kill ten thousand wild animals in one safari.

"These prey are enough for everyone to eat for four or five days."

Zhang Yuan said to Wei Qing in surprise.

Wei Qing is someone who has seen big scenes, unlike Zhang Yuan who stays at home all day and doesn't know anything outside.

"If Chang Shi can participate in a spring banquet organized by His Majesty in the future, then he will know what is called the Pentium of Ten Thousand Beasts.

It can be said that if you shoot an arrow with your eyes closed, you can hit the prey.

Ferocious beasts such as tigers and bears that are rarely seen on weekdays can also be seen there, and there are quite a few of them. "

Zhang Yuan nodded. It was the first time he had seen such a scene of thousands of beasts in front of him. Although they were all dead, he was quite shocked in his heart.

If tens of thousands of live beasts galloped together for the princes and nobles to hunt and kill, I don't know what it would be like.

"Have some soldiers transport these beasts to the edge of the Chan River, skin them and wash them.

I sent people back to the mansion and found some people to help, so that the brothers in the army can have a good meal tonight. "

Wei Qing nodded, and immediately ordered to the soldiers.

"Let them do what Chang Shi said, and remember that all the animal skins must be preserved."

The personal soldiers agreed with fists, and then retreated.

After watching these slaughtered beasts, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan walked to the other side.

There are nearly a hundred people squatting by the fire here, all of them are dressed in rags and their faces are ashen, looking like they haven't had enough to eat for a long time.

"These are the savages captured by the soldiers of the army from Lantian Mountain. Although there was some resistance, fortunately there was no major conflict and no one was injured."

Wei Qing explained to Zhang Yuan while walking.

Zhang Yuan knew that there must be more than this few people on Lantian Mountain. When the entire Lantian Mountain was included in Shanglinyuan, there were dozens of villages, large and small, around.

Just because Zhang Yuan occupied that village before, he heard from the tenants that dozens of people entered Lantian Mountain to make a living.

However, these people have cultivated the land for generations, even if there are some hunters, they cannot compete with wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

It's not as safe as the Qimen army dispatched, and everyone is armed.

Zhang Yuan approached a man who looked older.

"Can you speak official language?"

Zhang Yuan asked this because some people have been out of society for a long time, and their accents will change, or even degenerate.

The man looked a little scared, and nodded numbly.

In the past, no one caught them, and when they encountered them, they would kill them directly, especially in Lantian Mountain.

Because there is Dinghu Yanshou Palace next to it, in order to ensure their own safety, these people only dare to stay on the east side of Lantian Mountain.

However, there are more than 2000 people in the Qimen Army today, and there are people on all sides of the mountain. After all, if everyone gathers in one place, they will not be able to hunt much prey.

"Were you all farmers at the foot of the mountain?"

The man nodded again.

"Want to fill your stomach?"

The man didn't nod. He looked around at the people like him, and nodded firmly after reading it.

Seeing that the man agreed, Zhang Yuan stood up directly.

"In the past six months, there is not much time left for cooking in the army training.

We can't let our own soldiers cook, so let these savages do the work.

Half a year later, the army set out, which happened to be the time for spring plowing.

At that time, leave some food for them, and then find a wasteland for them to reclaim. "

The military rations are simple, some steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable porridge, not much time wasted.

As long as there is fire, the soldiers can quickly prepare a meal.

But Zhang Yuan wanted to supplement the health of more than 2000 people, so cooking was naturally a lot of trouble.

It is possible to ask Zhang's family to help today, but not for a long time.

People in their own family have their own things to do.

"Okay, do as you say.

Anyway, these people don't need food and pay, so the food will be deducted from the army.

Now that there is a lot of meat, the soldiers probably won’t be able to eat much food. "

Wei Qing said affirmatively to Zhang Yuan.

Until now, whatever Zhang Yuan said, Wei Qing agreed directly.

It made the people around vaguely feel that the long history in the army is the one who is calling the shots.

"You find a place and wash your body. I will let you send you some clothes."

There are men, women and children among these hundred people, they cannot be allowed to stay in the barracks.

We could only let Wei Qing find another open space beside the barracks and set up some tents for them to live in.

Zhang Yuan is not afraid that they will run away, if they run up the mountain, they will return to the reality of not having enough to eat.

If you ran to other places, it would be fine if you were bumped into by people from the Zhang Mansion or the Qimen Army, but if you were bumped into by the palace guards stationed in various palaces in Shanglinyuan and the army under the infantry captain.

There is only one result, and that is death.

Presumably, as long as it is a living thing, it has the instinct to seek good luck and avoid disaster.

After handling the affairs of these people, more than 100 adults from the Zhang family ran to the barracks.

Including some soldiers who helped cook, more than 300 people were cooking at once.

This scene is also quite spectacular.

Soldiers in the army are not like ordinary people, who can feel the joy of a good harvest every year.

This time today they really felt how joyful the harvest is.

Meat was set up on every fire, and everyone sang and danced.

The dozen or so sons who made trouble before seemed to have forgotten the pain on their bodies.

When Zhang Yuan saw Xue Ren jumping up and down like a monkey, he felt that he was actually kind of cute.

These noble children don't have so much scheming, especially Xue Ren, who has been rich for several generations and is deeply rooted in the towering tree of the Han Dynasty.

If they become bad, it is clearly bad.

If you want to kill your whole family, you will lead someone directly into your house the next day without any taboos.

Zhang Yuan still likes people who are not scheming, and it is too tiring to get along with someone like Ji Fu.

"Young brother, order Xue Ren to be promoted to military marshal tomorrow."

Wei Qing was eating meat and almost choked.

After finally swallowing the meat in his throat, he asked Zhang Yuan with a look of surprise.

"Aren't we going to drive out these army bugs?"

"What happened today made me realize that we might be doing it wrong.

Promote Xue Ren to Qu Junhou first, and then take a good look at him. "
