I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]

The war is established, and the military pay should be paid.

Now that the wars in various places are tense, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan will be conquered next year, and the treasury does not have enough food to distribute.Mi Yan simply ordered everyone to distribute five catties of salt and one catty of cotton, so that they could go home for the New Year.

Cotton can be sewn into clothes to move around, and it can also be sold to richer people for food.

As for table salt, at this time last year, Mi Ren ordered the imperial court to set up a salt-making department to dry salt directly from sea and lake water.At that time, the gentry thought that Mi Rian was trying to cook salt to compete with salt merchants. As a result, the imperial court produced inexhaustible amounts of table salt in just one spring and summer.

This batch of salt is not only large in quantity, but also because the cost is almost zero, the selling price is directly half of the salt on the market.After the launch, it directly affected the business of salt merchants, making it impossible for salt merchants in Sili and surrounding states and counties to continue their business.

We had to reduce the price of salt and turn to other things.

Although there was no loss after the price cut, salt merchants still complained privately.Many of them were related to the gentry, and at first they protested several times in the court, but later they took pictures of the coercion of Mi Yan's victory over the Huns, and they never dared to publicly express their inappropriateness.

Now that Mi Rian came back with the spoils, the merchants of the gentry even approached them shyly, asking when the imperial court would sell these livestock.

Jiuqing counted the number of these trophies as quickly as possible.

Of the more than [-] war horses, more than [-] of them were injured and unsuitable for battle. These wounded horses were given to the soldiers to pull carts at home, or they were taken to shops for sale;

There are more than a thousand oxen. In this era, oxen are precious labor force. They can be used for plowing land and pulling carts. The common people are not allowed to eat them without reason.Mi Yan kept sixty of them and sent them back to her hometown to Mi Zhu, and sold the rest;

There are more sheep, more than [-] sheep, whose hair has been shorn before being driven back.This will have just grown its winter long hair, and it will only be sheared for the second time in March next year before being sold to the gentry.

——The amount of hay that so many sheep need to eat every day is not a small amount. If Mi Yi hadn't had the foresight to order the soldiers to mow grass outside the Great Wall for a month, they would not be able to feed them at all.

Even so, judging from the amount of consumption, it was extremely reluctant.

Mi E thought for a moment and ordered the soldiers to slaughter a thousand sheep.Three hundred of them were sold to the officials of the gentry in the court, and one hundred of them, the blood and offal of the sheep when they were slaughtered were feasted for the three armies.The remaining [-] sheep were sent to the army as soldiers, and they were ordered to take them home for a good year.

On the third day of October, Mi Ren invited [-] soldiers to a banquet.

When he returned to the barracks outside the city, the generals headed by Lu Bu were competing in the school field.

Mi Rian walked to the stage, Li Jue and Guo Si made room for him: "See the general!"

As former generals under Dong Zhuo's command, Li Jue, Guo Si, Xu Rong and others all had good friendships.

Earlier, Mi Ren ordered Guo Si to pursue the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army that attacked Chang'an City, while he led Li Jue and Jia Xu to attack the Xiongnu. Guo Si breathed a sigh of relief in private:

Everyone knew that this battle would not be good, and if the general who lost was as angry as Dong Zhuo and blamed it on his subordinates, it would not be beautiful.

It is his good brother Li Jue who has to work hard.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't gloated at other people's misfortunes for a few months, when news came from the front that the Huns fled from the territory of the Han Dynasty.The generals who accompanied him suddenly became unparalleled in the world!

Guo Si was stunned, and then slapped his legs in remorse: "If I knew the general was so brave, I would have the cheek to recommend myself, and I would stay under his account!"

Let's not mention this matter for now.At this moment, all eyes were on the stage.

Li Jue explained: "Zilong and Fengxian, Wenyuan and Fengxian each fought a round before, and both Zilong and Wenyuan lost. Now Fengxian wants them to fight together and continue to teach them martial arts."

Mi Ren nodded.

He put Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao under Lu Bu's command, and that's what he wanted.It's good for them to learn from each other from time to time, so that the two can grow quickly.

After saluting to Lv Bu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao held a spear and a halberd, one behind the other surrounded Lv Bu in the center, with awe-inspiring fighting spirit in their eyes.

Ben is a young man who has just turned 20 years old, and the two of them are very young.Seeing that Lu Bu beckoned them to hurry up, the two started fighting without any hesitation.

Zhao Yun's spear style is unique, just like a dragon playing in the water, with softness contained in rigidity and rigidity contained in softness, it is difficult for ordinary people to parry; The combination is unstoppable!

The two have different styles, but they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and they are both offensive and defensive. How can ordinary people be rivals.

But is Lu Bu an ordinary person? !

His ability to defeat Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei has long proved his bravery.

Lu Bu's face was extremely calm, without any panic, he took all the moves of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao calmly.After a while, the three of them fought with each other with hundreds of moves, and it was difficult to distinguish who was superior.

But after all, he was nearly ten years younger and inexperienced. Soon, a huge force shook Zhao Yun's cock and Zhang Liao's halberd. The two of them stepped back ten steps and fell out of the competition ring. Keep your weapons down.

Although it was a pity that Lu Bu was defeated, the two still cupped their hands respectfully and said, "Yun/Liao, thank you Captain for your guidance!"

Seeing such a wonderful battle, the spectators couldn't help applauding.

Mi Yan also praised without hesitation: "Good fight!"

Lu Bu had won against the two of them twice, and it was the time when he was in high spirits.Seeing Mi Rian stroking his palms under the stage, he couldn't help but move slightly.

A few days ago when he returned home from an expedition, he thought that he would see Diao Chan at first sight, but he didn't expect that she was not in the mansion.

It wasn't until the person came back that she found out that she had gone to the Mi Mansion to meet Mi Ren, as a former master and servant.

Lu Bu was furious.

Every man, who doesn't want the one he loves to be the only one in his heart?

Although Diao Chan quickly coaxed him well afterwards, and knew that she had no personal relationship with Mi Yan, he still couldn't get over it in his heart.

Thinking of this, he cupped his fists at Mi Ren: "Is the general interested in coming up to play?"

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who had just paid a visit to Mi Ren, looked at Lu Bu in surprise when they heard the words.

These days Lu Bu often taught them, and his relationship with them was both teacher and friend. He comforted them that it was normal for them to be younger than himself.But unexpectedly, Lu Bu would actually challenge Mi Yan?

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had never seen Mi Ren fight before, so they didn't know his martial arts skills.But the warrior's subconscious told them that Mi Yan's skills were absolutely unfathomable.

Maybe even better than Lu Bu.

Li Jue and Guo Si who were watching from the sidelines: ...

Obviously, both of them were suffocated by Lu Bu's operation.

——This is not a new official taking office. How could any general under his command challenge the general? !

What is Lu Feng going to do first?

Everyone knows that he is so brave that even Guan Yu, who easily beheaded Hua Xiong, could not beat him.It's okay if you lose, but if you win...

General Mi doesn't want to lose face?

But if the general didn't respond, wouldn't it be because he was afraid of Lu Bu again?

For a moment, neither of them knew whether to call Lu Bu stupid or stupid...

The two looked at each other and cursed secretly.Just about to smooth things over, Mi Rian has already untied her cloak and walked onto the school field with a smile: "Okay, that's exactly what I want to do."

When he came to the barracks today, he was wearing strong clothes under the cloak, so he could fight directly without changing clothes.

Mi Rian was so calm and comfortable that the generals couldn't help but nod their heads.

Well, the general has an extraordinary bearing, and he deserves to be the one who can defeat the Huns!

Seeing that Mi Rian didn't have a weapon in his hand, Lu Bu didn't want to win by force, so he simply threw away Fang Tian's painted halberd and said, "General, I've offended you!"

Mi Yan clasped her fists together: "Please."

Lu Bu rushed away.

The two fought with bare hands, and Lu Bu was like a tiger descending the mountain. In addition, the previous momentum was still there, like a dragon flying across the sea carrying the fierce wind and thunder.

Mi Rian is just the opposite.

He didn't take the initiative to attack, but just saw the trick.The moves clearly seemed to be slow and gentle, but every move could calmly defuse the opponent's offensive, forcing Lu Bu's heart to sink.

He considers himself a fierce tiger, but also a dragon.The opponent is like a mountain, but also like a deep sea!Even if a fierce tiger can rule the mountains and a dragon can disturb a sea, they can't destroy each other at all!

Thinking of this, he became more and more anxious, and his boxing method also lost its structure, revealing a flaw.Then Mi Rian suddenly broke out, sweeping his legs and crushing him to the ground.

There was silence all around.

Lu Bu was defeated. Lu Bu, who was like a god of war in the hearts of all the soldiers, lost to the general!

Li Jue and Guo Si were speechless, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao shouted loudly: "Good!"

Well, although Lu Bu taught them, they were beaten many times on weekdays, and it was inevitable that someone would beat Lu Bu up.

Lu Bu was equally unbelievable.

Mi Yan straightened up, stretched out her hand in front of him, and smiled slightly: "It was Zilong and Wenyuan who consumed Fengxian's strength earlier, otherwise I would not have won."

This sentence is actually giving Lu Bu a step down.

Lu Bu sat on the ground and stared at him silently for a while.

Under the sun, this man was handsome and flawless, with a little white face that people looked down upon.It was obvious that he had moved a lot just now, but his face was only slightly rosy, and he didn't even breathe.

Really strong.

Previously, Lu Bu had never really liked Mi Rian, especially because he was highly respected by Diao Chan, so he had a kind of unconvinced feeling that was difficult to understand with outsiders.

He knows that Mi Yan is very powerful, the most powerful thing is to conquer people's hearts, make good use of strategies, and be good at fighting.However, he didn't show too much in terms of the value of force that the generals also valued.

But at this moment.

The secret jealousy and resentment in Lu Bu's heart disappeared suddenly.

He held Mi Yan's hand with a "snap", stood up with his strength, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

He bowed and made a great gift: "The general is mighty, and Bu is convinced!"

Mi Yan was surprised.

He ordered Lu Bu to stand up, and saw that the man's face had changed into a sincere look, and the original grievances disappeared without a trace, so he raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was a windfall.

……

The generals competed on the stage, and the soldiers boiled hot water to kill sheep according to Mi Ren's request.

In this era, the gentry did not eat animal offal.Civilians can't eat animal offal at all, so almost everyone doesn't know that these things are edible.

During the slaughter, the soldiers were still a little puzzled when they heard the order from their superiors asking them to collect the blood and internal organs of the sheep in buckets.

In just one hour, [-] sheep were slaughtered.

In order to prevent the firehead army from cooking the mutton too hard to swallow, Mi Yan specially brought in dozens of chefs to take charge of the taste.

Under the orders of these chefs, the Huotoujun lit the fire, picked the mutton, chopped the bones of the mutton... extremely busy.

Another half an hour later, the entire barracks was covered by the smell of mutton bone stew.

I can only swallow the overflowing saliva, imagining how delicious the mutton is.

It was another hour before the banquet started.

All were first given a large bowl of mutton soup with pieces that had been cut into chunks.The mutton soup is delicious, and the pieces inside are a bit soft and chewy, but it is delicious without any surprises;

Then came a bowl of smooth, tender, and unusually delicious red cubes stewed with tofu, and the soldiers couldn't stop eating them;

The last big dish was braised mutton, which was praised by the gentry. Each person was divided into a few pieces. After eating, they all asked what it was. I really wanted to have another bowl!

When they were told that the pieces were internal organs and the red piece was sheep blood, the entire army was shocked.

So offal and sheep blood are so delicious?Wouldn't the gentry be willing to eat such a delicious thing? !

——How extravagant and rich is the life of the gentry!

Little did they know that the gentry they fantasized about was also shocked by the many delicacies such as lamb liver, lamb intestines, and lamb blood in the palace banquet.Except for a few that are really unacceptable, most people regret what kind of delicacies they missed.

……

After eating these two meals, the barracks dismissed most of the soldiers and recruited them again after the year.

Soon, the city of Chang'an was sealed off by heavy snow.

The weather was cold earlier this year. Fortunately, the soldiers were dismissed early, otherwise such a heavy snow cover would make them unable to travel.

The bad weather means that this year's harvest may not be much better.Mi Ren asked Da Si Nong and knew that this year was indeed the case.

After three days, I personally sorted out some methods of composting and increasing production, and handed them all over to Da Si Nong.He was asked to experiment, organize it into a book, and distribute it to officials in various states, counties and counties after the end of the year, asking them to supervise Nongsang in a good way.

Da Si Nong only thought that this was the experience of the Mi family's farming operations for generations, and naturally he would not doubt why Mi Yan knew this, and went to work as if he had found a treasure.

Mi Ren frowned.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zan openly rebelled, and Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou were fighting fiercely, and all grain taxes were not recovered this year.When the war breaks out next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back.

It is necessary to recuperate before we can stop the infinite trauma caused by the war.

The great man is waiting to be rebuilt, and now there are too many things that need to be rebuilt - the double-cropping rice and spring and winter wheat he proposed before can only save some people, and more people are still living in dire straits.

Not to mention far away, just talk about Luoyang.After it was burned down by Dong Zhuo, there was no grass in a radius of two hundred miles, and it urgently needed to be rebuilt.

Mi Ren's gaze moved away from Luoyang on the map, and focused on Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou.

The south of the Yangtze River is rich and rich in products; the Xishu in Yizhou is known as the "granary of the world" in later generations.In terms of emotion and reason, these states cannot let go.

Liu Biao, the Inspector of Jingzhou, confronted Yuan Shu, and the outcome has not yet been determined, but Yangzhou and Yizhou are relatively stable.It is necessary to subdue the local gentry as soon as possible to prevent these two states from being involved in the war.

However, this choice is up for debate.

——At this point, it is impossible to live in peace with the Han royal family in the future.In order to prevent state chaos, we must support our own people.

……

When the snow was falling heavily, Mi Ren took Xun Yu, Mi You, and Zhou Ci to eat mutton hot pot together.

Except for Mi Ren, it was the first time for everyone to shabu-shabu.

The essence of shabu-shabu is to do it yourself, Mi Yan waved back the attendants and set an example for everyone.

Each part has been cut to a moderate thickness, and a thin piece of mutton is put into the bottom of the tumbling pot. It only needs to be rinsed in the boiling soup for a while, and then picked up and the color has changed.

The mutton on the grassland tastes sweet, tender and delicious, without any fishy smell.It doesn't even need to be dipped in sauce, it is already delicious in the world!

Several people couldn't stop eating.Zhou Ci took care of Mi You, and Mi Ren helped Xun Yu cook the meat slices.

Xun Yu ate with a big appetite, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.Seeing that Mi Ren didn't move his chopsticks at all, he also picked some up for him: "Zi Su also eats some."

"I won't eat it," Mi Yan smiled, and took a sip of the plum sake that came with the meal, "You can eat it."

Xun Yu didn't understand the subtlety of this smile, he just thought he didn't like mutton, so he didn't force it.

Mi You, who was on the side, looked very curious in her heart. When she was in Qu County before, her brother even grilled mutton skewers for her. How come she didn't even touch a bite of mutton?

That night, for unknown reasons, Xun Yu was inexplicably hot.Even though it was late, he was full of energy and couldn't sleep.

Mi Yan at the side seemed to be in a deep sleep, and the hands that were clasped were loosened a little.

Xun Yu pursed his lips.

He moved his fingers slightly, and seeing that Mi Yan didn't respond, he gently rubbed the other's palm with his fingertips.

Then he was suddenly caught by Mi Rian.

"Why," a voice as intoxicating as wine came from the side, "you're staying up so late, tickling me?"

Xun Yu: "...No, I bumped into it by accident."

"Really, I don't believe it." Mi Yan said slowly, "I want to scratch it back."

……

When it was over, Xun Yu was too tired to lift a finger.

Mi Yan pulled him into her arms and kissed his eyes that couldn't be opened: "Excellent performance, continue tomorrow."

Xun Yu, who was half asleep and half awake, wanted to refute that he was always like this, but after all he was too exhausted, so he fell asleep in Mi Ren's arms in an instant.

Afterwards, he ate several meals of mutton in a row, and Xun Yu only breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the court after his vacation.

——Although the various cooking methods in the house make the mutton extremely delicious, but eating so much at once is really unbearable.

He is a servant, and he will stop and say hello to all the officials he sees along the way in the palace.He all smiled back.

It wasn't until he passed by a group of people that he heard the voices of those people whispering: "...It seems that this mutton really has this effect!"

Xun Yu paused.

The footsteps involuntarily slowed down, and he held his breath to listen to the voices of those people.However, the voices of those people were already soft, and the wind whimpered, and they could no longer hear clearly.

This was originally a small episode, but for some reason Xun Yu remembered it in his heart.He found an opportunity, and when there was mutton for lunch one day, he said to the people who had spoken earlier: "This mutton is really extraordinary..."

The eyes of those people suddenly lit up: "Xun Shizhong also found out?"

Xun Yu smiled meaningfully.

"It seems that this mutton can really make people show off their glory!"

"Haha, I thought it was a delusion at first, when Prime Minister Mi sells it next year, don't buy a few more pigs to keep!"

Xun Yu suddenly heard such violent words, and his strategic smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Someone saw this and said with pity: "However, Xun Shizhong's wife is not in Beijing, and there is no beautiful concubine in the backyard. It is really hard for you!"

Following the man's words, I remembered Xun Yu who ate mutton during the day and was tossed and turned over at night: ...

It's no wonder that Mi Yan always asked him to eat more in those few days, and before falling asleep at night, he could vaguely hear the other party say "good performance" or something...

This day can't be better!
