Zhu Yuanzhang to the landlord's family cattle when stealing food cattle, the tail of the ox into the stone, the landlord why can not pull the tail of the ox?

About Zhu Yuanzhang to the landlord's home cattle when the cattle stole food cattle, cattle tail stuffed stone, the landlord why can not pull the tail of the cattle, history does not have the relevant loading. There are only two possibilities about this matter, the first is that Liu De knew that Zhu Yuanzhang stole and ate the cow when he was herding the cow, but the cow belonged to the precious things at that time, and it could not be killed indiscriminately. If Liu De bites Zhu Yuanzhang to kill the cow, not only Zhu Yuanzhang will be punished, even Liu De will be punished to a certain extent, followed by comparison, the price of dying a calf will be lower; the second is that Zhu Yuanzhang stuffed the cow's tail with a particularly large stone, and also found a short cattle herder to hide in it, learning the cow's bellowing sound to dispel his suspicions, and linking the matter with the god of the mountain to arouse his awe.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born into a poor peasant family with many siblings, and was named Zhu Chongbachi (朱重八) because he was the fourth in his family and the eighth in the family line. His parents supported the family by helping the local landowner, Liu De, with his farming. Due to the large size of the family, Zhu Yuanzhang began to subsidize his family by herding cattle for the landlord Liu De when he was very young.

Zhu Yuanzhang was smart from a young age, when he drove the cattle to the north hillside with other cattle herding buddies, and then let the cattle find their own grass to eat, and these children got together to play, and soon became the leader of the cattle herding children by virtue of his own cleverness and intelligence. Although help the landlord family cattle have a bite to eat, but basically are early to go out and late to come back, lunch is not eaten, can only maintain the most basic consumption. For these children who are growing up, it is far from enough.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was playing with those cattle herding children one day, just at noon everyone's stomach was hungry. Everyone at this time there is no interest in playing, began to discuss what some good food, there are children said there is meat to eat would be better. After all, for these children from poor families, they can't eat meat several times a year, and most of them only have the chance to eat it during the New Year.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he, as the leader, took everyone to eat a meal of meat, they were bound to admire him even more. When he saw the calf that he had put up, he directly asked these little friends to join him in catching and slaughtering this cow. Everyone was especially happy to hear about the slaughtering of the cow for meat, and they quickly took care of the cow. Some of them were in charge of finding firewood, some of them were in charge of finding a pot to boil water, and some of them were in charge of handling the beef.

Just after everyone finished eating the calf, Zhu Yuanzhang realized a very serious problem, that is, the calf he had herded was gone, and would certainly be beaten by Liu De, and would also involve his family. At this time, the sky is about to dark, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of a countermeasure, he asked everyone to help tuck the cow's tail into a rock crevice to fix it, everyone pulled a few times, to make sure that it can not be pulled out before rest assured.

Zhu Yuanzhang then rushed back to tell the landlord, Liu De, that his calf had burrowed into a cave and could not be pulled out. After Liu De knew about this, he hurriedly brought his men over to check it out, and sure enough, he found a cow's tail stuck in a tiny crack in the rock, and he went over to pull it hard but couldn't pull it out. Although he didn't really believe that the calf would voluntarily burrow into this tiny stone crack, he had to accept this reality and just took out his anger on Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang was beaten up, Liu De didn't dare to let him graze the cows again, and directly told him to go home and not come back.
