Seventy dan of salary was an astronomical figure for these bullies.
The most important thing was that he would have the chance to become an official in the future!
Once there was an establishment, it was equivalent to bringing glory to the ancestors for ordinary people.
"Sir, you're not making fun of us, are you?”
This kind of thing was too dreamy.
After all, seventy dan of salary was not a small amount.
"Is that necessary?" Lan Shenxing laughed.”
Was seventy stones a lot?
If hybrid rice was produced, would there be a shortage of grain?
Moreover, his salary could also be converted into silver.
According to the current price ratio, one tael of silver was equivalent to two stones of rice, which was thirty-five taels of silver per person per year.
Perhaps this price would make Zhu Yuanzhang's heart ache, but Lan Shenxing would not.
Because he understood that he would not be short of food in the future, and he would not be short of silver either.
Moreover, wanting your subordinates to work for you…
First of all.
You have to paint a big picture to make them look forward to it.
Secondly.
He would turn the flatbread in the painting into a real flatbread and let them eat their fill.
Only in this way would they follow you with all their heart and go through fire and water for you.
……
That night.
Lan Shenxing came to the Eastern Palace to look for Zhu Biao.
Although it was close to dawn, Zhu Biao was still not asleep. He was handling government affairs.
"Your Highness, don't overwork yourself.”
Looking at Zhu Biao who was almost exhausted, Lan Shenxing became more and more worried.
If he did this every day, it would be strange if his body's immunity didn't decrease.
"What is it?"
Zhu Biao knew that Lan Shenxing had come late at night for something.
After all, based on his understanding of the latter, if there was nothing else, Lan Shenxing would have fallen asleep long ago.
" Farm land, farm tools."
Lan Shenxing said bluntly.
Zhu Biao read the memorial and asked,"How many people have been recruited?"
"Six hundred."
"His speed is quite fast."
Zhu Biao smiled. After dealing with a few memorials, he said,"What do you think of Hu Weiyong's farmland in the outer city?”
"Very good."
Lan Shenxing nodded.
"As for farming tools, BenGong will send them to you tomorrow.”
As he spoke, Zhu Biao frowned slightly and asked,""Oh right, where are those six hundred people living now?”
"I'm going to let them build their own houses near the farmland in the outer city. At the same time, they'll isolate that area from the outside world. Moreover, outsiders were not allowed to get close, and the distance was temporarily set at ten miles.”
Hu Weiyong's field was very big and wide.
It could be said that the entire field belonged to Hu Weiyong.
Moreover, there weren't many people living in that place. They only needed to spend a small amount of money to move those families away.
"Are you building your own camp?" Zhu Biao raised his head.”
"In Your Majesty's words, you should learn to lead your own team, right?" Lan Shenxing did not deny it.”
"Bengong allows it."
Zhu Yuanzhang had said that Zhu Biao had full authority over farming matters.
If Zhu Biao did not agree, Lan Shenxing could report it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
However…
With the relationship between Zhu Biao and Lan Shenxing, there was almost no disagreement.
Early morning.
In the court.
Zhu Biao handed over the memorial he had dealt with yesterday to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied after reading it. When he saw that Lan Shenxing had already started farming, he said generously,"Biao Er, when you send the farming tools, help us send ten cows over for him to use for farming.”
"Your son will obey." Zhu Biao bowed.
……
In the Eastern Palace.
Lan Shenxing slept here last night.
"Xiong Ying, let's go. Uncle will bring you to play.”
After waking up, he greeted Madam Chang and brought Zhu Xiong Ying to the farmland outside the city.
The six hundred tyrants were ready to attack.
The farming tools, ten strong oxen, and the wood and materials for building houses were all in place.
"Uncle, cow, I still want to eat stewed beef with potatoes.”
Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Shenxing expectantly after seeing the cow.
"Okay, eat."
Lan Shenxing dismounted and carried Zhu Xiongying down. He asked the bullies,""Which one of you has slaughtered a cow before?"
“……”
The bullies fell silent.
They didn't know if they had ever killed a cow.
However, they knew that even if they had, no one would be stupid enough to say it out loud.
After all…killing cows was a sin.
Lan Shenxing took out a tael of silver and said,""Those who know how to slaughter cows will be rewarded with one tael of silver!"
"Sir, this subordinate has killed them before."
One of the bullies stood up. To be on the safe side, he added,"This subordinate's ancestor was in charge of slaughtering sick and old cows in the village.”
Lan Shenxing gestured for him to step forward.
The bully stepped forward.
"Yours."
Lan Shenxing threw a tael of silver to him and asked the crowd,""Anything else?"
"Milord, this subordinate is the same as him.”
Three more people stood up.
Seeing this, the others also wanted to stand up.
However, they did not know how to kill cows. If they were exposed, it would be a small matter to lose face, but it would be a big deal to be beaten.
Lan Shenxing gave each of them one tael of silver and pointed at the ten strong bulls not far away.""Choose one and kill it."
The bullies were speechless.
The Bully That Killed a Bull was speechless.
Jinyiwei was speechless.
"My lord…"
An Embroidered Uniform Guard behind him couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhu Yuanzhang explicitly forbade the killing of cows. If Lan Shenxing had killed them secretly, he would have let it go with the excuse of a sick cow.
Now, he was brazenly guarding the Jinyiwei and saying that he was going to kill the cow.
Should they report this matter or not?
Lan Shenxing waved his hand to stop the Embroidered Uniform Guards and said,"I have my own arrangements."
"Yes."
The Embroidered Uniform Guards bowed and returned to their original positions.
"Milord, are we really going to kill them?"
The four bullies in charge of killing the bulls had bitter expressions on their faces. They couldn't bear this crime.
? Lan Shenxing's face darkened." Kill them if I tell you to," he said." Stop talking nonsense!" You don't even listen to my orders. What's the point of raising you?”
"Yes."
The four bullies gritted their teeth, hardened their hearts, and walked towards the bull.
As expected.
One tael of silver was not so easy to earn.
Lan Shenxing walked to the bamboo basket with potatoes and rummaged through it.
The potatoes had basically sprouted, but there were still two catties that had not sprouted.
"What are you waiting for? Go get a pot and some water."
Lan Shenxing shouted at a Jinyiwei.
There was no lack of pots, pans, ladles, and condiments here. After all, more than 600 people needed to eat.
After washing the potatoes, Lan Shenxing cut the potatoes into pieces and prepared the onions, ginger, and garlic.
At this moment.
After killing the cows, Lan Shenxing took a piece of top-quality beef, cut it into pieces, stir-fried it, and simmered it over a low fire.
"Uncle, how long will it take?"
Zhu Xiongying looked at the big pot expectantly.
"An hour."
"That long?"
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Nephew, you have to remember that if you want to eat well or if you want to get something, you have to be patient.”
……
After the time for two incense sticks to burn.
Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing state affairs with Zhu Biao.
An Embroidered Uniform Guard arrived and said some things to Mao Xiang before leaving.
Mao Xiang stepped forward and bowed." Your Majesty, the cows have been killed in the fields."”
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned. The former stood up and shouted angrily,"This brat, how dare he!"
