Chapter 3
Thinking of this, Li Shimin took his Tang troops and rushed to Li Hao's place.
At this moment, Li Hao was busy directing the soldiers to marinate the meat, skewer the marinated meat, and send them to each grill.
In fact, the reason why Li Hao held this celebration banquet was purely because he had nothing to do. He had nothing else to do except clock in every day.
The grain depots have piled up into a mountain, and if they don't find an excuse to slaughter those pigs, it is estimated that these pigs can be raised to old age.
Li Hao saw the remnants of the Tang Dynasty who had been rescued by him approaching, so he temporarily stopped what he was doing.
He has to explain the rules of Taohua Village to these Tang Jun, and let them join the barbecue feast by the way, so that they can quickly integrate into this place.
In fact, Li Hao is not worried about whether they can blend in.
If one barbecue can't buy them off, then two, if not three!
Li Shimin and several Tang soldiers walked up to Li Hao, bowed their hands together and saluted, Li Shimin said:
"You are Lord Li Hao, the village head here, right? I am grateful for your rescue this time."
In the words, there was more suspicion than gratitude.
Li Hao didn't care about Li Shimin's tone, he waved his hand and said:
"It's nothing to worry about, it's a trivial matter, don't take it to heart."
Li Shimin showed a hint of sarcasm.
"It's easy for you, but I heard that if you just step into this village, you will either stay here as a villager, or you will die?"
Li Hao nodded.
"Yes, our village does have this rule."
Li Shimin smiled:
"May I ask if there are other rules in our village? For example, we plant a hundred grains for you, and work hard, and you enjoy the final income. They fight meat and our villagers can only eat meat. I have a little money and want to redeem myself, if your lord refuses to allow me, I will do some fighting and I am willing to serve you."
Li Shimin slandered secretly, thinking that he should have guessed a thing or two.
So he lured Li Hao on the grounds of profit, and he, Li Shimin, didn't want to be a villager and do coolies for others.
If the other party is greedy for money, he will take himself as a hostage.
Or the other party lacks troops, and with my own military quality, it is not impossible to be a white horse soldier.
As long as these days are temporarily stabilized, the army can be ordered to attack them. Even if this army with spells is powerful, it is still too small in number to compete with its own army.
At that time, I will be able to leave here successfully.
After saying that, the surrounding Bai Ma Yicong laughed when they heard Li Shimin's words.
In the smile, there was a feeling that Li Shimin had never seen the world.
Li Hao repeatedly shook his head.
I'm afraid this person was kicked in the head by a donkey, right?
What are you thinking about?I have always spent money generously, so why do I become an old pick in his eyes?
A Baima Yicong walked over with a smile and said,
"Brother, you are really joking. You actually thought that our lord would be in Yurou Township."
Li Shimin was surprised.
"Why did you say that? Am I wrong?"
That Baima Yicong smiled even stronger.
"In our Taohua Village, the poorest households can eat two catties of meat a week, and they are still households with five guarantees. If they work quickly, they can eat meat every day, but we don't like eating meat anymore. Today, the lord personally gave us cured meat, so we are happy, and we don’t care if it’s the same as usual.”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was stunned.
Even those Tang Jun behind him were dumbfounded!
The poorest households in Taohua Village can eat at least two catties of meat a week?
It's incredible.
We must know that the Tang Dynasty was not long after the founding of the country, and the war has not stopped until now. It is a rare well-off family that ordinary people can fill their stomachs.
If you want to eat meat, you have to be a rich man, but you can only eat meat once in a month or two, and you only eat a few pieces each time.
Li Shimin asked in disbelief:
"Little brother, is everything you said true? Can you soldiers and ordinary villagers eat meat regularly?"
The white horse soldier looked at Li Shimin with disgust and said:
"Ah! You really have long hair but short knowledge. Why am I lying to you? If you don't believe what I say, then you will know after living here for a while. I won't tell you anymore. I have to help the lord barbecue."
The white horse soldier left his words and didn't bother to pay attention to Li Shimin, and ran over to help.
Li Shimin and several Tang Jun were left in a daze.
Although the white horse soldier's attitude was not good, his words convinced Li Shimin more and more.
If what the White Horse Soldier said is true, then wouldn't the villagers of Taohua Village live better than the rich man's family in the Tang Dynasty? !
Moreover, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would be scolded by others for his lack of knowledge?
Those Tang Jun's eyes were shining at the moment.
Such good treatment made them feel moved.
Because the current emperor Li Shimin was beside them, they swallowed and did not dare to make a sound.
Li Shimin believed it for the time being, after all, he was dependent on others, so Li Shimin bowed his hands and apologized:
"My lord Li Hao, it's from below that I treat a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, and I hope you will forgive me."
"I don't know what my lord is looking for? Are you going to explain the village rules to me?"
Li Hao nodded in response.
He asked about the identities and past experiences of Li Shimin and his group.
Li Shimin fabricated an identity for himself casually, saying that he was a small officer under Yuchi Jingde of the Tang Dynasty, his surname was Li and his name was Ji'an.
And those Tang troops were his soldiers.
Li Hao didn't doubt these people either.
When I rescued these people before, I guessed their identities.
In fact, there is nothing to ask, Li Hao believes that these people cannot leave.
It's just that Li Hao's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he asked:
"I heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very good at governing the country and treated his subordinates very well. So what is your daily life like? How often do you eat meat?"
Li Hao has been struggling to develop, because the rewards for signing in every day are so generous that he doesn't have to go out to do business.
Moreover, Li Hao didn't know much about Datang, and his impression of Datang was limited to what he had learned in his previous history class.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin is one of the most outstanding emperors in history, and the rule of Zhenguan is famous through the ages.
Li Hao knew that no matter which ancient prosperous age it was, it was difficult for ordinary people to eat meat, so Li Hao was confident that he was better than Datang, but Li Hao was not sure how much better.
Nowadays, it is rare to see a junior military officer from the Tang Dynasty, so of course Li Hao needs to know more about it.
Li Shimin blushed slightly unconsciously.
If you ask this question, isn't this slapping Li Shimin in the face?Who is as good at manufacturing as you are, even the rich in the Tang Dynasty can't eat a few meals of meat, let alone how good are the soldiers?
The Tang soldiers behind them also remained silent.
Li Shimin touched his nose, trying to hide his embarrassment:
"Maybe I can eat a meal of meat in five days, about a catty at a time."
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed after saying this.
As Li Shimin said, he spent countless money and food to raise 3000 troops, and these 3000 troops are still the most elite soldiers under his command. It is absolutely possible to defeat the Turks steadily.
As for ordinary soldiers, eating millet can fill their stomachs is not bad.
Li Hao was thoughtful after hearing this.
It seems that the Tang Dynasty was still very prosperous under the governance of Tang Taizong. Compared with the poorest people in Taohua Village, ordinary soldiers were not crushed.
