Chapter 760 Does elephant meat taste like this?

After the capital of Linyi Kingdom was captured, Lanyuan County was directly handed over to the prefect Yu Fan, and Gao Shun and Shamoko were asked to assist him in controlling the situation. He and Gaoling mysteriously headed south with hundreds of soldiers.

When Yu Guanhua, who was over sixty years old, took office, he first restored the Han name of Linyi to Xianglin County;

Secondly, there were public and centralized trials of treasonous criminals, and Cham officials were targeted with both kindness and power. They cooperated with Samoko's Wuxi barbarians to implement military control. After the situation in Rinan County stabilized, the advanced system of Jiaozhou was introduced;

Finally, Guangfu Square was built in Xianglin City, and a monument of meritorious service was erected in the center of the square for people to admire. Yu Fan personally wrote the names of those who had made contributions and asked the stonemason to carve these names on the monument, including Lan Yuan, Gao Shun, and Sha

Mo Ke, Li Yi, Chu Qing and more than two thousand people.

On April 28, more than two thousand treasonous Cham officials, generals, soldiers and other criminals, led by the old king Qujin and the new king Qumi, were taken to the north gate of Xianglin at the same time, where they knelt and faced the direction of Chengdu for execution.

, Yu Fan required all residents in Xianglin City to send a representative from each family out of the city to observe the execution.

At three quarters of noon, the storm surged.

The prisoners kneeling on the ground are like wild flowers, and the cold light is like the strong wind harvesting the earth, leaving only rows of roots.

In troubled times, heavy rituals must be used. Yu Fan stood at the top of the Xianglin City like a god of death. He used the blood of the dead to warn the living, what is meant by "anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away".

Since the Ou family rebelled and became independent, in addition to ensuring the royal family's continuous support, they have not cared about the life and death of ordinary people at all. Therefore, even though Yu Fan killed many people, they did not show any sympathy for the Ou family.

In troubled times, the people's thoughts are very simple, and they just want to live out their lives in peace. However, most of the people in power regard the people as nothing. The people are burdened with heavy taxes and corvees. Even if there is no war, they will die of exhaustion early. Therefore, regardless of whether it is in the Han Dynasty, Nichinan County

It makes little difference to the local ordinary people whether they come to rule or are governed by local aristocrats. They can quickly adapt to the new policies.

On April 29, Lan Yuan and Gao Ling returned to Xianglin from the south. Under the leadership of the local guide, they found the "Champa Rice" that Lan Tian had longed for.

At this time, rice had only been sown in Champa for a month, and the seedlings brought back were only a few inches tall. Lan Yuan had someone make a wooden box out of wooden boards, and dug the seedlings and soil out of the field.

In addition to the rice obtained from the fields of the tribal people, many wild rice seeds were also found from riverbanks, mountain streams, slope forests and other places, with a total of more than 500 samples collected.

When Lan Yuan returned to the city, he asked the trapped troops to assemble, preparing to return to Guangzhou immediately to find Lan Tian to recover. This move made Xiang Lin, who had just settled down, become restless again.

Yu Fan and Shamoko came to the military camp to persuade them to stay, saying: "The soldiers have worked hard all the way to the south and have achieved extraordinary achievements before resting for only a few days. Why do they need to turn around in such a hurry?"

"Although Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains, it borders Jiangdong after all. The trapped troops have been staying in Ninan for a long time, which may make Sun Quan covet it. It would be better to go back early. Moreover, the newly obtained rice seeds also need to be transplanted." Lan Yuan nodded and explained.

.

Yu Fan smiled and asked: "I just saw it outside the camp, but the young general's newly picked seedlings are like weeds and are far less robust than the current rice seeds in Jiaozhou. What do you want to do with taking these back?"

Lantian had only told a few people about the miraculous uses of Champa rice. The Jiaozhou rice that Yu Fan saw was just a seed bred by agricultural researchers in Guangzhou. It was basically a rice seed from Jingnan and Jiaozhou.

The two-line hybrid rice that Lantian has been researching requires a large number of farmers to carry out manual pollination, so it cannot be popularized and planted. It is still planted as a sample in experimental fields.

Upon seeing this, Gao Shun said: "Sir, he is particularly interested in new crops. Boyang didn't get any decent loot on this trip, so it would be a good idea to go to the south of Xianglin to pick some rice seeds for him and bring him back."

"Spoils of war? Do you want to take away the two elephants..." Samoko was just halfway through his words when he saw Gao Shun shaking his head and stopped abruptly.

"Yu heard about General Lan's intensive farming when he was in Guangzhou. This hobby is comparable to that of the ancient sages. However, it is really inconvenient to travel far away for the seedlings. General Li can be taken away by boat first. Let's take back the battle report of Ninan."

We should be arriving in Guangzhou soon, right? In fact, the trapped army can definitely take the sea route, otherwise it would be too hard to travel thousands of miles back and forth..." Yu Fan stroked his beard and made a suggestion.

"There is no problem for the seedlings to take the water route, but the soldiers must return by land. Even if they travel thousands of miles, it is training. It is not a hardship for the trapped troops." Lan Yuan said with an indifferent expression.

"I finally understand where the strength of the trapped army lies..." Yu Fan sighed as he looked at the sky, then raised his hands and advised: "It's almost noon now, why not take a rest overnight and set off early tomorrow morning? The soldiers even held a celebration banquet.

Nothing can be done..."

"What's going on?" Lan Yuan looked surprised after hearing this. He thought to himself that he had been away for several days and why didn't he even have a good meal or drink? If Xianglin City really can't afford it, he can ask Li Yi to move it on the ship. They

It took half a month to capture Nichinan County and save a lot of military rations.

Gao Shun smiled and joked: "Without you as the commander-in-chief of the trapped army, how could the soldiers dare to eat well by themselves?"

Lan Yuanxin said that you are really good, and your prestige is not as good as Uncle Gao's, right? Your reason for retaining people is really unique.

"Uh... Then let's stay one more night." Lan Yuan nodded awkwardly at first, and then told Gao Ling: "Those seedlings in the camp are precious. We must send people to guard them all night."

"Don't worry, Boyang." Gao Ling clenched his fists sonorously.

As soon as Yu Fan, Samoko and others left, Lan Yuan approached Gao Shun and looked embarrassed, "We have to prepare a celebration banquet for ten thousand people in such a short period of time. I don't know if we can buy it in the city."

There are enough ingredients, and you must restrain your subordinates not to plunder people's property, otherwise it will leave a bad impression on the people of Xianglin... Where can you get so much meat?"

"Hahaha, Boyang, you look like sir now. How can you, the commander-in-chief, consider these trivial matters? Only Prefect Yu and General Sha will prepare the ingredients for the banquet. We can just take Zhang Zui there in the evening..." Gao Shun laughed.

road.

"You asked General Sha to prepare? He won't kill a few elephants to make up the number, right?" Lan Yuan asked in surprise.

Gao Shun smiled mysteriously: "General Sha has taken over this matter, how can the celebration banquet be without meat? Even if you kill the elephant, there is nothing wrong with it..."

Gao Ling's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he thought that the elephant was "invulnerable." If he really wanted to kill it for meat, he didn't know how many hours it would take to stew it...

As the sun set in the evening, Lan Yuan and Gao Shun came outside the city. Samoko found a large open space and held a banquet for thousands of people in the evening breeze.

As soon as Lan Yuan sat down, he smelled the aroma of meat. Samoko personally brought a bowl of broth to him.

"Major General, this meat soup is cooked by my people, please try it quickly..."
