Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 547
After assigning the plow pullers and plow handlers, Gao Ming asked the four of them to start plowing the field. Faced with Gao Ming's order, the four of them did not dare to resist, and obediently began to plow the field.

The two officials who were tied to the plow rope bowed their bodies and dragged the plow in front. They may have been strangled by the rope.

And the two who followed them were not to be outdone, and immediately glared back, and one of them even made a sound on the spot.

"Do you want to see it? Didn't you hear what His Royal Highness said? Hurry up!"

Seeing his arrogant appearance, the two plow pullers became more and more angry, but they also knew that this was not the time to be willful, so they could only grit their teeth and turn their heads away, continuing to drag the plow forward with difficulty.

Standing on the ridge of the field, Gao Ming watched the little movements of the four of them, and was immediately overjoyed, but his face showed a look of emotion.

"Hengmei coldly pointing fingers at thousands of people, bowing their heads willingly as a bully, this is the model of my Tang officials. Come, everyone applaud for them together with me!"

After speaking, Gao Ming took the lead in applauding.

Under his leadership, soon, the officials, attendants, and onlookers standing next to him applauded together.

Suddenly, a burst of thunderous applause rang out, and it took a while to subside.

When the applause gradually began to weaken, Gao Ming turned around and raised his hands towards the crowd. Seeing his hands, the applauding people stopped moving, and the talking people also kept silent.

Seeing that the surrounding area became quiet, Gao Ming nodded, then smiled and opened his mouth to the crowd.

"Folks, we came here this time to test whether prairie cattle can plow the fields, and the result is as you have seen just now, as long as the cattle nose rings are put on, the prairie cattle can also plow the fields, so you can rest assured , from now on, our Tang Dynasty will no longer be short of farm cattle!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the people present were startled for a moment, and then cheered excitedly.

"Great, my family's fields can also be plowed with cattle in the future!"

"Yes, yes, and with the cattle, we can cultivate more land and harvest more grain!"

"Hooray! Hooray!"

Looking at the cheering common people, Gao Ming and Li Shimin looked at each other, and they both saw the expression of joy in each other's eyes.

For Li Shimin, this time he gained a considerable reputation, and as long as the four officials in the field plowed the fields for one more day, it would be equivalent to giving him one more day of publicity, and he could gain more reputation.

This can be said to be spending other people's efforts to earn his own reputation. For Li Shimin, his "show" this time can be said to be a complete success.

As for Gao Ming, although he didn't get any definite benefits this time, he was able to solve the trouble smoothly and avoid any worries, which is something to be happy about.

Moreover, the four of his people who came out to provoke him this time are now plowing in the fields in embarrassment, and Gao Ming's prestige has also been improved to a certain extent. If anyone wants to deal with him next time, they will naturally have to weigh whether their weight is enough. up.

But Gao Ming didn't think too much. Hearing the cheers of the people around him, he also grinned.

While laughing, he waved his hands towards the Qianniuwei behind him.

"Go and dig up the dead cow in the field and distribute it to the people around you. Make sure everyone can get it!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Gao Ming's order, the four Qianniu Guards immediately stepped forward, drew out their sabers and began to disassemble the prairie cattle that had been beheaded before.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people suddenly became quiet, and many people showed doubts in their eyes.

The expressions of the crowd naturally couldn't escape Gao Ming's eyes. Seeing their puzzled look, Gao Ming raised his hands again and shouted at the surrounding people.

"Fellow folks, the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty has always pursued the principle of sharing hardships and joys with the people. It is fate that everyone gathers here today. I have been ordered by the Holy Lord to distribute this cow to everyone. Everyone will line up in two lines to receive the beef. Don't mess around, everyone has it!"

Due to the lack of farming cattle in the Tang Dynasty, the slaughter of farming cattle was strictly prohibited. People who slaughtered farming cattle privately were generally punished severely. In the worst case, they might be beheaded. It can be said that it is similar to the key protected animals in later generations.

Many people had never eaten beef in their entire lives, so when they heard that Gao Ming was going to distribute beef to them, the people present cheered excitedly again.

"You can eat beef? Great!"

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Hearing the cheers around him, Gao Ming grinned again, and raised his eyebrows at Li Shimin who was beside him, looking at his expression, he seemed to be saying something.

"Hey! See how I do?"

Li Shimin also understood Gao Ming's intention of asking for credit, and immediately snorted softly, and gave him a blank look, as if to respond.

"So-so, don't be too proud of such a trivial matter!"

When Gao Ming and Li Shimin's father and son made eye contact, the four Qianniu guards had already peeled off the cow's hide, revealing the red beef, and the people also sent out two long lines according to Gao Ming's instructions. Everyone turned their attention to Gao Ming, waiting for him to speak

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming also knew that the time had come, he immediately waved his hand.

"Start distributing beef, let the people in, guards pay attention to maintaining order!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, the soldiers immediately opened an opening to let the common people lined up come in, and the four Qianniu guards who were in charge of planing the cattle before also began to cut the beef quickly.

The pieces of meat cut by the Qianniu Guards are very small, because Gao Ming said before that every commoner present should have some. Now there are more than 1000 commoners present, and this prairie cow only weighs about [-] catties.

In order to ensure that everyone has it, the Qianniuwei naturally don't give much, usually less than half a catty, and some people even give a bone without much meat.

But even so, the cheers of the people still didn't stop, everyone who got the beef bowed in the direction of Gao Ming and Li Shimin and saluted, and those with children even let the children kneel down and kowtow to them.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming smiled at Li Shimin again.

"How's it going, old man? It's not in vain this time, is it?"

"Ok!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"It's true that the land was not in vain, the land was not plowed in vain, and the cattle were not killed in vain!"

Looking at Li Shimin's joyful face, Gao Ming also showed a smile all over his face.

"After today, the reputation of you sharing the hardships and joys of the people will spread. This is more than worth it? This is simply super value! As the main planner, you don't intend to say anything?"

As he said that, Gao Mingji raised his eyebrows towards Li Shimin, with an expression of "you should understand what I mean".

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's face immediately collapsed. He first glared at Gao Ming, then got on his chariot, and waved his hand.

"Get up and drive back to the palace!"

"..."

Seeing Li Shimin who would run away at the slightest disagreement, Gao Ming suddenly opened his mouth in astonishment, but he didn't say anything.
