After the friendly discussion between the two leaders, the military parade will continue. As a local leader, Yun Chu will naturally review the army with the leading group.
For this group of government soldiers, it is really rare to see the prince once in this life. However, when Yunchu followed the prince and Xue Rengui and prepared to be the background board, Yunchu suddenly discovered that the government soldiers below The look in his eyes is obviously hotter than the eyes of the prince and Xue Rengui.
During the military parade, of course Yunchu had no room to speak, he just followed the generals of the sixteen guards to salute the soldiers who had finished the salute, and that was the end.
There is no difference between the ancient leaders inspecting the military camp and the leaders of later generations inspecting and condolences to the military camp.
It is nothing more than checking the clothing, accommodation, and food of the soldiers, and routinely asking the soldiers who have just arrived in the barracks whether they are satisfied with everything in the barracks and whether they are homesick.
Of course, the government soldiers are also very obedient. Even though Xue Rengui drilled miserably, and many people were drilled to death, everyone’s answers are still very satisfied, satisfied with General Xue, satisfied with General, satisfied with Captain, satisfied with Captain, satisfied Head, Satisfied brigade commander, Satisfied team is...
Yun Chu listened very carefully and saw it clearly. If the previous satisfaction was a basic answer, then the satisfaction with the food in the military camp was a real satisfaction from the heart.
In order to make the government soldiers more satisfied, Yunchu begged for the wild yak from the prince, and asked the cook to kill the yak and serve tonight's dinner, which was regarded as a reward from the prince to the soldiers.
No matter how big the cow is, it can’t satisfy the appetites of tens of thousands of people. There is no way, just like what Huo Qubing did in Jiuquan, butcher the cow and boil it into broth, which may be enough for everyone to share a bowl .
Naturally, lunch was eaten in the military barracks in the imperial city, and the food was good. Yunchu got a bowl full of pork dishes and two big bowls of broomcorn rice.
That is to say, there is only one more chicken on the prince's dinner plate, and the rest is on the same standard as Yunchu's meal.
Under Yunchu's signal, Li Hong came out with his own plate and went straight to the kitchen of the soldiers in the barracks.
At this time, it was time for the soldiers to eat. There was a big pot of boiled cabbage, a big pot of boiled onions, a big pot of cabbage, and of course there was a bigger pot of rice grits with black flour added.
"The meals in the Chang'an barracks are always good. At least, they use salt here, and they don't eat much sauerkraut, salted vegetables, or vinegar cloth. They are all seasonal vegetables. What's more rare is that the army eats three meals a day! "
Yunchu took a look at this general who could turn pig food into a delicacy, and felt that this guy might be a talent.
The amount of meat, vegetables, and food that the Imperial City Barracks purchases every day is actually quite a lot, and it is also the priority that Wannian County and Chang'an County must guarantee.
Obviously on the priority protection list, there are twenty pigs, fifty sheep, five hundred catties of fresh fish, two thousand catties of tofu, one hundred catties of various seasonings, and even fifty catties of expensive pepper. quantity.
However, Yunchu didn't find any meat in the meals of the soldiers, so he dug a mouthful of vegetable soup with a large spoon and tasted it, and found that there was no other taste except salty and spicy.
However, after looking at his bowl full of meat and vegetables, he also understood where the good things that Chang'an City supplied to the army went.
A bowl of vegetables, half a bowl of meat, the meat is fatty white meat, and the vegetables are peppers, onions, and cabbage fried in meat oil.
With a smile, Li Hong tore the chicken in his hand into small strips, and threw them into the cauldron where the government soldiers ate.
He poured his bowl of vegetables that were almost full of meat into the cauldron and stirred it for a while, and then dug himself a large bowl of meals whose contents were no longer clear.
Yun Chu naturally imitated the example, while talking to the soldiers with a smile, he kindly asked where he came to join the soldiers, and kept asking if he married a wife and had children.
Prince Li Hong took his bowl to a military camp, preparing to eat with them.
Of course, Yunchu had to follow closely, but he only dug out a large bowl of glutinous rice with millet and black noodles, and put a lot of oily and spicy rice from Xue Rengui's tent on the rice, which made his bowl of rice It seemed that the black mountain was covered with a layer of red flames.
At this time, it seems very inappropriate to say that the general is corrupt and deducted the rations of the soldiers.
He Yunchu was able to eat with the soldiers in Liaodong and the Western Regions, but it didn't mean that he had the right to ask all the generals to be like him.
When the army is outside, it is a money-making machine. When they return to Chang'an, they can only eat what they want.
At least, here, although the food is not delicious, it is enough.
Li Hong likes to turn around and watch the soldiers eating. When he sees some of the soldiers have finished their meal, he will put his uneaten meal into the bowl of the soldiers. At this time, the young soldiers will be grateful Tears welled up in his eyes, but Yun Chu knew that Li Hong had always been picky, and if he wanted him to eat the pig food here, it would be better to kill him.
"The villain is a mansion soldier who came from Yanzhou. In Yanzhou, the villain's family background can be regarded as an upper-class family. However, it was not until Shenshang came to Chang'an that the villain had to eat a whole year's dry food for the first time. Enough, not to mention, there are endless vegetables..."
"Huh? Yanzhou also belongs to the Guanzhong area. Since it is said to be a high-class family, why doesn't it even have dry food?"
Although Li Hong is not the kind of master who can tell why he doesn't eat minced meat, he grew up playing in Jinchangfang.
And the residents of Jinchangfang were also the lowest class of people he could come into contact with at that time.
The mansion soldier who spoke can be regarded as an elderly mansion soldier, and he quickly explained: "Two meals a day, eat dry when you are busy, and drink porridge when you are free. There is a special way to drink porridge. There are thick porridge and thick porridge. Thin porridge, drinking porridge is not enough to fill you up, plus there is no need to work, most of the big guys lie down, so you will be hungry slowly."
Li Hongdao: "This is the case for the upper households, so how should the lower households live?
Why don't they go to work and earn some wages? "
The old soldier sighed and said, "For a whole year, I scratched and ate food every day. Just feeding my stomach, I have exhausted my whole body. How can I have extra energy to make money? Besides, in Yanzhou, There are not many ways to make money..."
Yunchu knew that the old soldiers were hiding what they said, that Yanzhou had a vast territory, but there was no water, and it depended on the sky to grow some food, which was incomparable to the affluent Chang'an.
It was impossible to compare before, and now, it is even more difficult to compare. In Yanzhou, the vast majority of people are just alive. Only in Chang'an, they feel the joy of being human for the first time.
People in the Tang Dynasty generally did not leave their homes, and many, many people never left their homes for hundreds of miles.
The only people who can leave home and come to Chang'an are local merchants with big businesses, and the soldiers from the government who came to participate.
To them, Chang'an, which Yunchu was used to seeing, was heaven, a real paradise.
Li Hong finally stopped talking, and tried his best to eat two meals of the government soldiers. Although his face was flushed from holding back, he finally ate it.
Xue Rengui is obviously very dissatisfied with the current food of the government soldiers. It doesn't mean that the food of the government soldiers is not good. In his opinion, it is too good, too good.
Many government soldiers gained weight after they came to Chang'an to participate in the competition. What this group of people care about most all day is when and what to eat. What they look forward to most is the festival, because as long as there is a festival, there will be meat on their dinner plates!
Xue Rengui himself grew up as a big soldier during the Zhenguan period. He always thought that he should lead a group of hungry wolves to fight instead of a group of fat pigs.
The income of the government soldiers must come from the battlefield, from the capture, from the enemy's heads, not from hard work.
Li Hong felt that what Xue Rengui said was very reasonable, but after tasting the meals of the soldiers in person, he felt that no matter how bad it was, it was a bit inhumane.
But Yunchu's views were completely different from Xue Rengui's. He believed that with the emergence of gunpowder bombs and kerosene bombs, the brains of the government soldiers should be more important than cruelty, especially the cruelty squeezed out of poverty like Xue Rengui.
He even thought that if he was allowed to lead an army that was well-fed and could read some characters, and equipped according to his wishes, killing Xue Rengui and his subordinates would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Xue Rengui didn't agree with this at all, and clamored to pull out an army to compare.
Yun Chu scoffed at this.
Li Hong, who returned to the East Palace, told Xu Jingzong exactly what happened in the barracks today, and also told Xu Jingzong the difference between Yunchu and Xue Rengui in the army of rich and poor.
Xu Jingzong turned a blind eye to the dispute between Yunchu and Xue Rengui, but said to Li Hong gloomily, "What does Yinggong want to do?"
Li Hong didn't hide it either, and told Xu Jingzong Yunchu's conjectures about the reason Yinggong did this.
After Xu Jingzong listened to it, he sighed softly and said, "It seems that Li Ji doesn't have many days left."
Li Hong was puzzled and said: "When the lonely king saw Duke Ying, he looked ruddy and full of energy, so it shouldn't be so."
Xu Jingzong sneered and said: "Li Ji is good at medicine, and he once compiled "Tang Materia Medica" and "Multiple Classics". They belong to the well-known doctors who I think are hidden in the Tang Dynasty. He should have a very good idea of his own health. exact grasp.
This old man has always cherished feathers, and now there is only one reason why he did such a thing beyond everyone's expectations, he is about to die.
With his scheming, when planning something, he never expects immediate results, but calmly arranges and plans meticulously.
If the plan is big, it will take at least five years to achieve something, and if the plan is small, it will take three years.
Therefore, the old man infers that Li Ji's remaining lifespan will definitely not exceed five years.
The old man is also very curious now, what is this old man going to do? "
Li Hong said in surprise: "Grandpa Ying is old, Xu Jingye has a lot of ambition and talent, so he shouldn't be able to do anything big. You should help Gu Wang think about the dispute between Yunchu and Xue Rengui?"
Xu Jingzong looked up at Li Hong and said, "What kind of illusion is it that His Highness underestimates Li Ji?
Is it because he has stayed behind closed doors all these years, or is it because his gray hair makes His Highness think that this person is old and useless? "
