After the friendly discussion between the two leaders, the military parade still had to continue. As a local leader, Yunchu naturally followed the leadership team to review the army.
For this group of government soldiers, it is really rare to see the prince once in their life. However, when Yun Chu followed the prince and Xue Rengui and prepared to use it as a backdrop, Yun Chu suddenly discovered that the government soldiers below
The look in his eyes was obviously more intense than the look in the eyes of the prince and Xue Rengui.
Of course, Yun Chu had no room to speak during the military parade. He just followed the generals of the Sixteenth Guards and saluted the soldiers who had finished the ceremony, and that was the end.
There is no difference between ancient leaders' inspection of military camps and later leaders' inspections and condolences of military camps.
It is nothing more than checking the clothes, accommodation environment, and food quality of the soldiers, as well as routinely asking the soldiers who have just arrived at the barracks whether they are satisfied with everything in the camp and whether they feel homesick.
Of course, the soldiers were also very obedient. Even though they were drilled miserably by Xue Rengui, and many people were drilled to death, everyone's answers were still very satisfactory. They were satisfied with General Xue, satisfied with the general, satisfied with the captain, satisfied with the school captain, satisfied
The leader of the regiment, I am satisfied with the brigade commander, I am satisfied with the team leader...
Yun Chu listened very carefully and saw very clearly. If the previous satisfactory answers were of a basic nature, then if he was satisfied with the food in the military camp, he was truly satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
In order to make the soldiers more satisfied, Yunchu begged the wild yak from the prince and asked the cook to kill the yak and serve tonight's dinner, which was regarded as the prince's reward to the soldiers.
No matter how big the cow is, it cannot satisfy the appetite of tens of thousands of people. There is no other way. Just like what Huo Qubing did in Jiuquan, the cow is slaughtered and made into broth, which may be enough for each person to share a bowl.
.
Naturally, we ate lunch at the military camp inside the imperial city. The food was good. Yunchu received a bowl full of pork dishes and two large bowls of rice with millet rice.
In other words, there was only one more chicken on the prince's dinner plate, and the rest was the same as Yun Chu's meal.
At Yunchu's signal, Li Hong came out with his dinner plate and went straight to the soldiers' kitchen 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 a bigger pot of millet and glutinous rice made with black flour.
"The food in the Chang'an military camp has always been good. At least, the food here is all salt, and we don't eat very much sauerkraut, salt vegetables, or vinegar cloth. They are all fresh vegetables. What's even more rare is that the army eats three meals a day!
"
Yunchu took a look at this general who could describe pig food as a delicacy, and thought that this guy might be a talent.
How much meat, vegetables, and grain are actually purchased by the Imperial City Military Camp every day, and this is what Wannian County and Chang'an County must prioritize.
Obviously on the priority protection list, there are 20 pigs, 50 sheep, 500 jins of fresh fish, 2,000 jins of tofu, and 100 jins of various spices every day. Even the expensive pepper is supplied with 50 jins.
quantity.
However, Yunchu couldn't find any meat in the food of the soldiers. He took a mouthful of vegetable soup with a large spoon and tasted it. He found that there was no other taste except salty and spicy.
However, after looking at his bowl full of meat and vegetables, he understood where the good things Chang'an City supplied to the army had gone.
One bowl of vegetables and half a bowl of meat. The meat is greasy white meat. The vegetables are peppers, onions and cabbage fried in meat oil.
Li Hong smiled and tore the chicken in his hand into small strips of meat and threw it into the cauldron where the soldiers ate.
Then he poured his bowl of vegetables, which was almost entirely meat, into the big pot and stirred it for a while, then dug out another large bowl of food for himself whose contents could no longer be distinguished.
Naturally, Yunchu followed suit. While talking to the Fu soldiers with a smile, he asked them kindly where they came from to join the Fu soldiers. He also kept asking if they had married a mother-in-law and if they had children.
Prince Li Hong took his bowl to a Fu soldiers camp and prepared to have a meal with the Fu soldiers.
Of course Yun Chu had to follow closely, but he only dug out a big bowl of millet, black flour and glutinous rice, and added a lot of oil and spicy food from Xue Rengui's tent to the rice, which made his bowl of rice
It seemed as if 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 deducting the rations of the soldiers.
Just because he was able to eat with the soldiers on the battlefields in Liaodong and the Western Regions at Yunchu does not mean that he has the right to require all generals to be like him.
Outside the army, they are just a money-making machine. When they return to Chang'an, they can only feed them what they want.
At least, here, although the food is not delicious, it is enough.
Li Hong likes to go around and watch the soldiers eating. When he sees some soldiers finishing their meals, he will put his uneaten food into the bowls of the soldiers. At this time, the young soldiers will be grateful.
Tears filled his eyes, but Yun Chu knew that Li Hong had always been very picky, and if he wanted to eat the pig food here, it would be better to kill him.
"The villain is a soldier who came from Yanzhou. In Yanzhou, the villain's family is considered to be of the upper class. However, it was not until Shenshang came to Chang'an that the villain had food for a whole year for the first time.
Not to mention, there are endless vegetables to eat..."
"Huh? Yanzhou also belongs to the Guanzhong area. Since it is said to be a high-class family, why don't they even have a job?"
Although Li Hong is not the kind of person who can tell why he shouldn't eat minced meat, he grew up playing in Jinchangfang. He can't remember anything about his childhood. He has no memory of hunger in Jinchangfang since he can remember.
The residents of Jinchangfang were also the lowest class people he could come into contact with at that time.
The Fu Bing who spoke could be regarded as an elderly Fu Bing, and he quickly explained: "Two meals a day. Eat dry when you are busy, and drink porridge during your free time. There is something special about drinking porridge, there are thick porridge, thick porridge,
Porridge, drinking gruel is not enough to fill you up, and since you don’t have to work, most of you are lying down, so you will get hungry slowly.”
Li Hongdao: "Everyone in the upper household is like this, so how should the family in the lower household live?
Why don’t they go to work and earn some money?”
The old soldier sighed and said: "For a whole year, I have been scratching and eating every day. Just feeding my belly has already exhausted all my strength. I don't have any extra energy to make money. Besides, Yanzhou is a place where...
There are not many ways to make money..."
Yunchu knew that the old soldier was hiding what he said. Yanzhou was a vast place, but there was no water. He had to rely on the weather to grow some food, which was incomparable to the rich Chang'an.
It was incomparable before, and now it is even more incomparable. In Yanzhou, the vast majority of people were just alive, and only in Chang'an did they feel the joy of being human for the first time.
People in the Tang Dynasty generally did not leave their homes. Many people never left their homes hundreds of miles away in their lives.
The only people who could leave their homes and come to Chang'an were the local merchants who did a lot of business, and then there were the soldiers who came to join the army.
Chang'an, which Yunchu was already used to seeing, was paradise to them, the real paradise.
Li Hong finally stopped talking and tried hard to eat two mouthfuls of the soldiers' food. Even though his face turned red, he finally ate it.
Xue Rengui is obviously very dissatisfied with the current food of the soldiers. It is not that the food of the soldiers is not good. In his opinion, it is too good and too good.
After many soldiers from the government came to Chang'an, they gained weight. What these people are most concerned about all day long is when and what to eat. What they look forward to most is the festival, because as long as they celebrate the festival, there will be meat on their plates!
Xue Rengui himself started as a big soldier during the Zhenguan period. He always believed that he should lead a group of hungry wolves to fight instead of leading a group of fat pigs.
The income of the soldiers must come from the battlefield, from capture, from the enemy's heads, not from hard work.
Li Hong felt that what Xue Rengui said was very reasonable, but after personally tasting the food of the soldiers, he felt that it would be a bit inhumane to say anything worse.
Yunchu's views were completely different from Xue Rengui's. He believed that under the situation where gunpowder bombs and kerosene bombs had appeared, the brains of the soldiers should be more important than brutality, especially the brutality squeezed out by poverty like Xue Rengui's.
He even thought that if he was allowed to command an army that was well fed, knew some words, and equipped according to his wishes, killing Xue Rengui and his men would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Xue Rengui completely disagreed with this and clamored to bring out an army to compete.
Yun Chu scoffed at this.
Li Hong, who returned to the East Palace, told Xu Jingzong exactly what happened in the military camp today, and also informed Xu Jingzong of the differences between the rich and poor armies between Yunchu and Xue Rengui.
Xu Jingzong turned a blind eye to the dispute between Yun Chu and Xue Rengui, but said to Li Hong gloomily: "What does Ying Gong want to do?"
Li Hong did not hide anything and told Xu Jingzong that Yun Chu had some guesses about why Ying Gong did what he did.
After Xu Jingzong heard this, he sighed softly and said: "At the end of the day, the journey is hard, and he is doing the opposite. It seems that Li Ji doesn't have many days left."
Li Hong said puzzledly: "When the lonely king met the Young Master, he looked rosy and energetic, so it shouldn't be the case."
Xu Jingzong sneered and said: "Li Ji is good at medicine. He also compiled "Tang Materia Medica" and "Pulse Classic". He is a well-known doctor in the Tang Dynasty who I think is well hidden. He should have a very good idea of the health of his body."
Accurate grasp.
This old man has always cherished feathers, and now there is only one reason why he has done something that is beyond everyone's expectations. He is about to die.
With his sagacity, when planning something, he never expects immediate results, but plans calmly and carefully.
If the plan is big, it will take at least five years to achieve something; if the plan is small, it will take three years.
Therefore, I infer that Li Ji's remaining lifespan will never exceed five years.
I am also very curious now, what on earth is this old man going to do?"
Li Hong said in surprise: "Yinggong is old, Xu Jingye is ambitious but not talented, so he shouldn't be able to do anything big. You should help Gu Wang think about the dispute between Yun Chu and Xue Rengui?"
Xu Jingzong raised his head and looked at Li Hong and said: "What kind of misunderstanding caused His Highness to underestimate Li Ji so much?
Is it because he has stayed behind closed doors all these years, or is it because his head of white hair makes His Highness think that this person is too old to be useful?"
