Chapter 268 This Food Is Great

Afterwards, it was counted that there were more than 2,100 such people, and they were all handed over to Qian Zuozheng. After the registration of the Yellow Scale Fish Book, there were thousands of households! Only Zhang Linqi dared to hand over such people to Qian Zuozheng with confidence. After they were not released, they turned into bandits again. []

Of course, if these people are now identities, it would not work if they just let themselves go. Therefore, Qian Zuozheng and Zhang Linqi both expressed their own opinions.

As the parent official of Yuzhou, Qian Zuozheng still has some power. With a big stroke, he gave these more than 2,000 people each with twenty acres of land, and most of them were good land. Anyway, there is a lot of vacant land in Yuzhou now, and he was so worried that no one would cultivate it!

As for Zhang Linqi, he paid for the money. Each person Zhang Linqi took out ten taels of silver to settle the house. Plus two dou of rice! With this money and goods, I believe that these victims will soon be able to take root in the land of Yuzhou. First of all, there are many empty houses now, and Qian Zuozheng issued a certificate on it, and people can be lived.

Secondly, because the young and strong people either went to join the army or followed the thief, there were a lot of widows and young wives in Yuzhou. Now more than a thousand men came, and they happened to be a matchmaker. The problem of male and female disorder was solved! And these people, when they received the land, the white silver and the yellow millet, were not moved and she burst into tears, calling the emperor's kindness! And they made up their minds to take good care of the fields and never fight the bandits who killed thousands of swords!

Yes, Zhang Linqi is playing with carrots and maces in the other. He hasn't seen the 5,000 corpses! He is still steaming now! Under such a comparison, it's hard for these people to be unhappy!

In this way, after dealing with the matter of Yuzhou, two days later, the town arrived in Ruzhou. After hearing about it, the local deputy general Chen Yongfu hurriedly came out to greet him. Chen Yongfu was also a well-known figure in history. This person was a good man in war and was defeated repeatedly in battle. Unfortunately, in the original history, the more bandits fought, the more the official troops became weaker and weaker. His outstanding personal skills could not save the crisis of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, now, as the deputy general of Henan, Chen Yongfu, although he knew that Luoyang City was in danger, he could not send troops to rescue him. He could only watch and watch! First, it was because if he left, Ruzhou would become empty. Second, the total number of soldiers in his hands was only more than 5,000, and there were more than 500 elite servants. However, the combat power of these people was only equivalent to 10,000 to 20,000 bandits.

No matter how many, it won't work! This is still because his deduction of military pay is not serious, and the more than 5,000 people still have a certain combat power. Otherwise, even those bandits would be able to resist. But the actual situation is that Li Zicheng's troops have at least 100,000 soldiers, or even 200,000 to 300,000.

How dare he send troops to rescue him in this situation? I am afraid that the rescue will not be successful at that time, so I will compensate him. However, due to the fact that he lost his lips and teeth, Chen Yongfu was extremely worried. He just couldn't think about food and food every day and sighed.

Now, I finally hoped for reinforcements, and it was a famous town. How could it not be exciting for him? And according to reliable information, the town was in Yuzhou and in the northern part of Yuzhou. It defeated the bandits twice and killed about 50,000 people. So how could it not be exciting for Chen Yongfu! Therefore, Chen Yongfu welcomed him from afar, which was more than ten miles away from Ruzhou.

Of course, in terms of official positions, Zhang Linqi is the general of the state, the first-rank governor of the West Factory, and the prince Taibao. This time he was the emperor's personal signature of the bandit suppression commander, far higher than Chen Yongfu's second-rank official position. However, if you don't feel admired from the bottom of your heart, Chen Yongfu doesn't have to come out so far. You just need to meet the scenery at the gate of Ruzhou!

After the two armies met, although there were other heavyweight officials coming to welcome, such as Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of Henan Army Preparation, etc., Zhang Linqi was extremely enthusiastic about Chen Yongfu. Although this was the first time the two met! This made Chen Yongfu flattered.

In fact, he knew that although Zhang Linqi met her for the first time, he had been famous for him for a long time. He also admired his character very much, so he was so enthusiastic about him. Although in real history, Chen Yongfu finally defected to Li Zicheng, but he was also at the end of his life. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was already terminally ill, and it was unrealistic for you to ask everyone to be buried with the Ming Dynasty. It was not easy for Chen Yongfu to persevere until that moment!

In Zhang Linqi's plan, he only stayed in Ruzhou for half a day. After all, the military situation was urgent and urgent! But even after staying here for half a day, Chen Yongfu was shocked. First, Chen Yongfu took advantage of the opportunity to travel with the town and had carefully observed it.

The results after observation surprised him. In his eyes, everyone in these 20,000 towns could be compared with the 500 clans he carefully trained. You must know that it is not easy for him to cultivate these 500 clans! The money he spent was equivalent to the level of 2,000 ordinary Ming army!

But now, everyone in the town can reach this level, how can he not be surprised? In addition, the new bird guns he has come, and those new cannons that are not big on the top, but are so cruel and cold from the inside out. (And they have not been Kaifeng in these two battles!)

Only then did he understand what kind of power the three words "town" represent!

If these are big things, then the town can be different from some small things. Take the daily food in the town as an example, which is surprisingly good. At this time, the Ming Dynasty officials usually eat dry food. They add some other grains to the millet and cook them together, and then dry them and put the dried rice. When they are about to eat, add hot water and soak them softly.

However, such military rations are not worthy of being able to eat enough to taste. However, most soldiers don’t care about this. After all, in this world, many people are starved to death. It’s good to be able to eat and drink enough, but what else can you ask for?

If you meet an official's heart and add an extra spoonful of salt water, it would be a surprise. If it is a northern army, the daily military rations are pasta such as mixed cakes, steamed cakes, pancakes, etc. Of course, these pasta also have some gray and unknown things added to them. But the same thing is enough, just eat enough, no matter what.

And what about the food in the town! It must make ordinary soldiers stamp their feet and beat their chests, regret not joining the town. Or they are very jealous, and they wish that everyone in the town would be "eat to death." Because the town really eats too well!

Do you eat pasta? You can eat it, eat it. But this is not a staple food, but a mixing meal. But even so, the meal is made very authentic and sophisticated.

For example, first of all, the raw materials of the baked cake are very pure. They are made of flour ground from high-quality wheat, and there are no other miscellaneous things added. To apply a slogan from later generations, it means that you will never add any 'additive'!

Then when it is out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions, fine ginger, salt, sesame oil and other substances. That's not all, isn't it dry to make this kind of sesame cake? There are other tricks in the town. A special chef cooked dozens of pots of steaming mutton soup and beef soup.

Then each town gives two large bowls of broth. The bottom of the bowl is beef or mutton cubes the size of a mooncake, and then each township officer mixes it with mutton and mutton soup! Or a bite of soup and cake, or a big bun, a large piece of meat, the taste, don’t mention it!

Moreover, the chef adhered to Zhang Linqi's will, and he would never deduct food expenses. He kept making perfect food! Each large pot of soup was filled with twenty or thirty kilograms of beef or mutton. The soup was made in this way, and the meat was rotten and the soup was thick, and the aftertaste was poor after eating. To be honest, it would be fragrant even against the wind!

It also has the function of warming the stomach. It is also a high-end tonic! As for the source of beef and mutton, it is also produced and sold by itself. You should know that Zhang Linqi’s large farm is not just a grain production, it is a one-stop production, supply and marketing, and it is also used to feed cattle and sheep.

Moreover, after eating for a long time, the soldiers of the town have also eaten their best and had a variety of ways. For example, if there is dry soak, the soup will be completely penetrated into the steamed bun. After eating the steamed bun, meat, and the soup in the bowl will be drunk. There is another way to eat it, that is, boil the broad soup, put the cooked steamed bun and meat in the bowl, and use the soup around it. This way, the clear soup is fresh and the steamed bun is tough and tasty. If it is accompanied by spicy sauce and sugar garlic, it will have a unique flavor.

Because the town was stationed next to Chen Yongfu's army camp at that time, the town was given no food to eat. After that, the soldiers were all so eager to bulge out! Or if the people couldn't pass, they opened their mouths and took a few bites!

No wonder the soldiers under Chen Yongfu were jealous. They were all from the north, and the way they were eaten in the town was clearly beef and mutton soaked buns. This is a genuine Shaanxi famous food! But the problem lies here, authentic northerners can’t eat this kind of delicious food!

Because I just think about it, I know that northern Shaanxi has been suffering from drought for years. Not to mention eating beef and mutton soaking steamed buns, even the bark of the tree is clean, and you are still so beautiful! But now the guest army is eating such delicious food in front of him. How can these soldiers under Chen Yongfu be able to bear it!

When it comes to the appearance of his soldiers, Chen Yongfu couldn't hold back his face and shouted loudly to ask these soldiers to return to the camp. But it was useless. The soldiers under his soldiers seemed to have roots at their feet and could not move the place at all!

"General Chen, why bother? Aren't we all a family? Brothers, bring these brothers who are in the army with delicious food and drink!" Zhang Linqi said with a smile.

"Yes-" Hearing Zhang Linqi's order, two guards immediately entered the military camp and ordered them. After a while, a group of chefs immediately walked out with fifty pots of steaming beef soup and mutton soup. It was not that these chefs could not walk fast, nor that they had problems with their legs and feet, but that the big pot of soup was too heavy! Not to mention that there were dozens of kilograms of beef or mutton at the bottom of the pot!
