Chapter 51: The cow does not drink water and presses the head
Chang'an is not suitable for that sunset. There is no way for the wild flowers on the grassland to survive in the high-walled compound. There are no pastures, cattle and sheep that she is familiar with, only the blue sky in the courtyard. She is simple, kind, and full of wildness.
It will only wither quietly in the prosperous Chang'an.
She is the daughter of the grassland. She was born here, grew up here, and will sleep here. This is the best destination for her.
Yun Ye prepared a vast world for her to roam freely. With blue sky, white clouds, green grass, cattle and sheep as companions, it might be able to alleviate her pain.
"This is your pasture distribution map. It is at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, with a radius of hundreds of miles. The water and grass there are lush and the climate is mild. It is the best pasture. You and those young people can graze here." Yun Ye
He took out the documents from his arms and placed them in front of Higurashi.
The eunuch translated Yun Ye's words to Na Rimu, sentence by sentence. The more she listened, the more tears fell on her face, and finally they gathered into a small stream and flowed down from her pointed chin.
Pain was inevitable, Yun Ye could only steel his heart and continue: "Now you need to give your tribe a name, and then fill it in the documents. These documents will take effect immediately, and you don't have to worry about other tribes.
Come and grab your pasture. I have already said hello to the garrison here. Once a threat is discovered, tell them and someone will naturally deal with it. You don’t need to do anything. You just need to graze well. The extra cattle and sheep will be
There are also horses. I will send someone to exchange them with you before the winter comes every year, using tea, salt, cloth, grain, and of course some iron tools. In addition, you will also have to give them to you every April after the weather gradually warms up.
Shear all the wool. If the experiment is successful, I think the wool sheared every year will be enough to feed your small tribe."
After finishing a long series of words, Yun Ye stopped and waited for Huan Niang to explain to Na Rimu.
"You won't leave!" That day, Rimu didn't listen to what Huan Niang said. She held Yun Ye's arm and shook her vigorously.
"I, herd the sheep, and you, sleep." Perhaps that day, Higurashi felt that doing nothing alone. Sleeping in a tent with a full meal was the happiest thing in the world, so she did not hesitate to open the door she could.
The highest price offered.
Yun Ye gently hugged Rimu, then nodded to the eunuch, let go of Rimu, and walked out of the tent. Before he had even taken two steps, Rimu's heart-wrenching cry could be heard behind him.
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Ye took another step forward to find He Shao.
Lao He hired a total of 300 auxiliary soldiers. They were busy converting sledges into ox carts. There was no need to worry about the roughness of the carts, because he had enough oxen to pull the carts. There was only one small problem. The cattle that roamed freely on the grassland.
They don't know how to pull a cart. They are extremely unorganized and undisciplined. Whenever they see grass roots, they will take a few bites. Sometimes they will stand still and will not move even if they are whipped with a whip. This basin of cold water will kill Lao He in no time.
The enthusiasm for getting rich filled me with chills.
After watching a smooth bullock he raised turn the cart over, he squatted on the ground holding his head, helpless and very pitiful.
There are too many goods and too few carriages. His storage warehouse already has four rooms. The white snow on the grassland is melting, the ground as hard as iron has become wet, and some places have turned into swamps. It rained four times in one winter.
After a heavy snowfall, the snow will bring abundant water resources to the grassland. This year's grass will grow very well. This is good news for the herdsmen on the grassland, but for Yun Ye, who is about to go on a long journey, the old
However, it turned out to be a catastrophe.
There are no roads in the traditional sense on the grassland. You can follow whatever you like, as long as you are heading in the right direction. As long as this problem is solved, you will always reach your destination.
Do you still need to learn to pull an ox cart? This is what Yun Ye asked Sun Simiao. As a result, he was despised by Tang Jian, Xu Jingzong, and Sun Simiao.
"Also see why not eat minced meat
When I return to Chang'an, I will definitely ask Quanzi this question. If he answers in the same way, I will ruthlessly clean up the family."
Tang Jian said the words with heartache, looking at Yun Ye and Lao He, it was like seeing two pieces of shit.
Lao Sun was kind and told Yun Ye carefully about the living habits of cows. From the moment the calf landed, he had to follow the old cow to learn pulling carts, plowing, grinding, and various work skills. Under the subtle influence of the old cow,
Next, when a calf grows up, it will naturally learn these things. Cows on the grassland do not have these experiences and are used to being wild. Now that they are hitched to a cart, they will definitely feel uncomfortable. It is strange that they can pull the cart well.
"Children in the Tang Dynasty knew these principles, why don't you know them?" Sun Simiao felt incredible.
What can Yun Ye say? What he has seen most is the kind of cow with black and white stripes on its body? The cow pulls the cart. In the thirty years since its disappearance, he has only seen it a few times. The tractors all over the world are emitting black smoke and causing chaos.
Do you need to sit in a bullock cart and slowly run from east to west? My family uses cattle to cultivate an acre of land, and others have already cultivated dozens of acres with tractors. In that era, cattle were used to produce milk, or
Except for the elderly, no one would know about killing those who eat meat.
When talking about tradition, Yun Ye thought of another famous tradition, which was the best way to solve the current difficulties. He pulled Lao He up from the ground and whispered in his ear for a while. After hearing this, He Shao's expression changed from blank to blank.
It suddenly transitioned into ecstasy.
He showed a big evil smile to Sun Simiao and others, waved his sleeves, called a few auxiliary soldiers, and asked them to lead the cattle and follow him to the back of the tent.
"The old cow doesn't drink water, how can you force it to drink water?" Xu Jingzong frowned and said to Yun Ye, and Tang Jian nodded in agreement. Sun Simiao was more familiar with Yun Ye's method of turning decay into magic.
, his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty, but he did not agree with the two people's questions.
"As the old saying goes, if a cow doesn't drink water, force it to press its head. This is true. In the past, it was unsuccessful because the force of pressing the cow's head was not strong enough. Once enough force is obtained, no matter how stubborn the cow is, it will be controlled by this force.
Come on, if you don’t want to drink water, you have to drink it.” With Yun Ye’s confident words, a cow neighed from behind the tent. Just listening to that sound, you knew that the cow was undergoing the most terrible torture.
Several people were shocked and came to the back of the tent. They saw a bullock tied to a rack, with only its big head exposed, and a ferocious-looking auxiliary holding a thin red iron bar in his hand, aiming at the two sides of the bullock.
The cartilage between the nostrils was poked out. In the smoke, the bullock let out another scream, and kicked its four hooves desperately. Since there was nowhere to bear the force, it could only move its head back and forth in the hope of reducing the pain.
Someone nearby put a small iron ring through the hot hole and hung it on the cow's nose.
Sun Simiao was stunned to see the behavior of such a beast. He pointed at He Shao and yelled: "Stop, you beast. This cow is just acting according to its nature. What does it know?"
, you actually attack it viciously next time, where is the human heart? Come on, come on, let the old Taoist put iron rings on your nostrils, so that you can have a taste of this."
"Daozhang Sun, please calm down for the time being and see if this method works. If it works, this is a good thing worthy of celebration by farmers all over the world. If it doesn't work, it's not too late for you to skin him again." Yun said.
Ye pretended to persuade Sun Simiao.
His old Taoist heart is made of tofu, and he doesn't want to see the suffering of all creatures in the world. It's fine that he doesn't see the torture of piercing a cow's nose. Once he sees it, why not stop him? I just told He Shao to let him go far away
If I do this again, who would have thought that this heartless person would start impatiently behind the tent.
It was okay if Yun Ye didn't persuade him, but he got angry when he tried to persuade him. Sun Simiao pulled him aside, pointed at Yun Ye's nose and cursed again: "This is not a bad idea of yours, why are you a good person at this time?
With such a vicious heart, how can you have the face to teach disciples in the academy? Even if the disciples you teach are all amazing and talented, they are just a disaster. The greater the ability, the greater the harm."
Sun Simiao was fully qualified to question Yun Ye like this. Tang Jian was barely a decent man except for being out of place. His face was just indignant. Why did a sinister person like Xu Jingzong pretend to be moral?
He looked like a master, standing with Sun Simiao and Tang Jian, reprimanding He Shao loudly, and ran forward to untie the old cow, stroking the cow's back with a look of regret on his face. It seemed that the person who was being tortured was not a cow, but
His wife.
I don’t know if future animal protection organizations will convict him of the crime. Anyway, he can’t escape the name of a cattle abuser now. Lao Sun took out the ointment from his arms and carefully applied it on the cow’s nose. Yun Ye felt that Lao Sun
The movements are gentler than the last time I applied ointment to myself. Cows are more valuable than people? I don’t know what disease these people have.
While they were quiet, Yun Ye ordered the auxiliary soldiers to drag the ox cart over, and persuaded Sun Simiao to let the ox try again.
A thin cowhide rope was passed through the cow's nose ring, and the auxiliary soldier held it in his hand. He patted the cow's butt gently, and the cow began to move forward. The auxiliary soldier used the leather rope in his hand to control the direction of the cow's head.
Li An made a steady circle. The cow was very obedient and obedient. It walked as soon as it was told and stopped when it was told to stop. However, there were tears in its big eyes and there was blood on its nostrils.
Seeing that it was working, Sun Simiao let out a long sigh and trudged back to his tent. After all, he knew that cows were there to serve people, and the more obedient they were, the better. Judging from the effect, he was powerless to stop it.
It can be depressing and heartbreaking.
"Marquis Yun, why don't we jointly submit a letter and use the cow nose piercing as an excuse?" Tang Jian's righteousness suddenly disappeared and he turned into a noble man who cared about the country and the people: "It's just a small change.
, being able to make bullocks so docile is really a good thing that will benefit the present and will last forever. With this method, it is possible to transform the beef cattle on the grassland into farm cattle. Yunhou’s talent is beyond my reach.”
"How could such a grand event be without me, Xu Jingzong? How about I write the book and bear witness to this event?" Xu Jingzong's eyes were bright, and he also wanted to get involved.
