My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 743

[Chapter 722: Cancellation of Curfew (Third update, please vote for me)]

“General, the count is done!”

At this time, Wang De came up and reported: “A total of 932 yaks have been seized, including those killed and injured in explosions. There are 385 serious yaks in total, and the remaining 547 yaks are normal except for some minor injuries.”

Liu Jinghong nodded, with unconcealable excitement in his eyes. .

After thinking for a while, he said: “Order to gather all the butchers in the city, let them go to the temple fair, set up a stage, clean up all the 385 yaks, and give two to each household in the city. Ten pounds of beef, ten pounds of water. We will let the people live a good year!”

Although the people in Liangzhou City can trade with Xijiang or other cities on weekdays, and have a full range of handicrafts and food, meat is not suitable for them. It’s relatively rare for them.

Whenever the Chinese New Year comes, if the family is in good condition, just cut a few kilograms of meat and have a good New Year.

If the family conditions are poor, they can cut off half a catty and cook a large pot of broth, with the whole family gathered around, which can be regarded as celebrating the New Year.

It has been ten days since the twelfth lunar month, and the Little New Year is only a little over ten days away. At this time, each family is given twenty pounds of beef and sewer, which is indeed considered a good year.

Wang De was also very excited. These yak meats were trophies and should theoretically belong to the imperial court. He originally thought that Liu Jinghong would send some of them back to Jingzhou, or keep them and sell them, and the money would be confiscated. Who would have thought that Liu Jinghong would be like this? Bold?

This decision means that their family can also get a lot of beef. His son was clamoring for meat a few days ago, but now he doesn’t have to worry!

At this time, Liu Jinghong said again: “As for the remaining beef, half of it will be dried and made into beef jerky. Then some will be distributed to each cavalry, and the rest will be kept for the next spring or autumn harvest. Come out to satisfy your craving. Take out the other half and set up a few more stoves in the center of the city where the temple fair is held. The remaining half will be cooked in the next few days. People in the city can go there and eat beef and drink beef soup for free. Yeah. , let’s just say there are spirits! “

Drinking spirits and eating beef in winter is like a fairy life for most people.

Because a yak is very heavy and produces a lot of meat, even if each family is given thirty kilograms of meat, they will still be rich in the end.

Liu Jinghong’s allocation is very reasonable and meets the needs of the people to the greatest extent.

In the end, Liu Jinghong did not forget to say: “Those slightly injured yaks were given good care by people. We also have a lot of open land to the east outside Liangzhou City. Previously, because there were few cattle in the city, we could not cultivate it by people alone. Wait until spring next year After that, bring all these yaks there and let the farmers reclaim the wasteland and grow more food!”

Wang De nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but he still did not forget to remind Liu Jinghong: “General, so many yaks have been seized this time. , does it have to be handed over to the court anyway? Otherwise, if it is reported to the court, someone with bad intentions will inevitably say bad things…”

After all, Wang De has been with Liu Jinghong for a long time, and Wang De is still very considerate. Didn’t get carried away by the joy of being allotted beef.

At this time, Liu Jinghong looked at Jing Zhe.

“Zhe’er, do you need it?”

The voice was light and a bit teasing.

In terms of official positions, there are not many people in Anguo who are higher than Liu Jinghong, but even so, Liu Jinghong’s status in front of Emperor An is probably not as good as Jing Zhe’s now.

After all, since the martial arts competition with Nan Qi, Jing Zhe has become a popular figure around Emperor An.

Jing Zhe immediately waved his hand: “No need, no one dares to gossip as long as I am here. I sent a message to His Majesty Feige in advance, saying that the living yaks need to be left to cultivate the land for the sake of people’s livelihood; as for those who are dead, It must be processed as soon as possible. If it is brought from Liangzhou to Jingzhou, it will take more than ten days. The meat will smell bad. No one is willing to bring smelly meat to His Majesty, right?” “

…”

Wang De was sweating. It seems that only Jing Zhe can say this kind of thing, and only he dares to say it.

Liu Jinghong was also very satisfied. She had been in Liangzhou for many years, and although she had protected the safety of the people in Liangzhou, she had not improved their lives much.

In the future, she may not be able to be here anymore.

Before leaving, she decided to make some final contributions to the people of Liangzhou.

“Vice General Wang, here’s the order. If there is no war this year, the temple fair can be moved forward. Everyone can go eat beef and drink beef soup while attending the temple fair. Also, the curfew will be canceled for the next three days!”

“The curfew will be canceled?”

Wang De was stunned. For a moment.

In this era, no matter which city, there is a curfew.

For example, in Jingzhou or Yongzhou where Jing Zhe stayed before, the curfew time is later because it is safer. However, there are many wars outside the city of Liangzhou. In order to ensure the safety of the people and not affect the night duty of the cavalry, the curfew time will be very early. .

However, Liangzhou also lifts the curfew sometimes, basically on holidays such as New Year’s Eve, the 15th day of the first lunar month and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the cancellation is only for one day. This is the first time that the three-day curfew has been lifted like this.

As Liu Jinghong said, it is not impossible to cancel the curfew when the war is over, and we can predict how lively the city will be in the next few days!

So he smiled and said: “If this is true, then the next three days will be just like the Chinese New Year!”

Hearing this, Liu Jinghong glanced at Jing Zhe, and then said calmly: “Yes, it will be the same as the Chinese New Year.”

Looking at The busy crowd in front has soft eyes.

Being together is like celebrating the New Year…

When

Wang De conveyed Liu Jinghong’s order, the whole city was excited.

The common people rushed to tell each other and were full of praise for Liu Jinghong – they originally loved Liu Jinghong very much. It is no exaggeration to say that in the hearts of all Liangzhou people, Liu Jinghong is their patron saint.

In addition to the joy of getting beef, what is even more joyful is the news that Xijiang will never invade again.

In recent days, the Xijiang Heavy Cavalry Regiment has frequently come to Liangzhou. Although Liu Jinghong is here, the people of Liangzhou are still uneasy. As long as the war is uneven, some people will always feel uneasy.

Therefore, every year, many people in Liangzhou City choose to go to other places in order to no longer suffer from war.

The people in Liangzhou City dreamed that there would be no more war.

Now, this wish has come true. It is said that the person who repelled the heavy cavalry regiment was Liu Jinghong’s younger brother, Jing Zhe, a young man who was officially the president of Da’an Newspaper.

They were unfamiliar with the title of newspaper president, but this did not prevent them from admiring and being grateful to Jing Zhe.

So when the people in the city cheered to receive the meat, they kept chanting Jing Zhe’s name.

Suddenly, Jing Zhe became famous and shined in Liangzhou.
