Chapter 672 The gap of people is getting bigger and bigger
It gets late, the lanterns start to light up, and the streets are filled with the light of lanterns.
When Cao Hua left the imperial city, it was exactly this scene.
The guardsmen were driving a carriage over and asked Cao Hua:
"Commander Commander, do you want to hang out for a while?"
Most of Cao Hua's personal soldiers are female soldiers. The team's name is Cao Yun. They are from Cao Hua's family and they are not powerful in the family. However, they were only unpopular before joining the personal soldiers.
Because Cao Yun had to wait for Cao Hua, although she was attracted by the prosperity of the capital, she did not dare to walk around randomly. She just sat in a carriage and waited for Cao Hua not far away. She knew what was the foundation of her career.
Cao Hua glanced around, and a smile appeared on his cheek:
"Is the capital already so prosperous?"
Zhao Ning, the bodyguard next to him, smiled and said:
"Commander, you have been away fighting all the year round. I don't know, it's normal. Thanks to the prince and your majesty, our country of Han is getting better and better. The people can have enough food and clothing, and only then can the merchant business be so prosperous."
Cao Yun snorted and glanced sideways at Zhao Ning:
"You know a lot."
Zhao Ning ignored Cao Yun's sour taste and said casually:
"My family is from Beijing. I have received letters from my family about the changes in Beijing over the years, so I know some things."
Cao Hua kept the dispute between the two under his eyes and did not say anything, but said casually:
"Then let's go shopping."
"Cao Yun, how much money do we have as minister this year? If we have enough, we will go to the largest restaurant in the capital and I will treat you to a meal."
Cao Yun curled his lips and his tone was quite sour:
"That can't happen. Last month you allocated five hundred taels to Ding Jun, asking them to use the money to win over the students who graduated from the Jiangwu Hall this year. There is still a fraction of the money left. Fifty taels, you can't
No more."
Cao Hua turned to Zhao Ning and asked:
"How much does it cost to have a meal at the best restaurant in the capital?"
Zhao Ning laughed, thought about it and said:
"Forgetting the best restaurant, let's go to the more unique one, Dushuai Zuixiang Restaurant. They have double-headed abalone from Qi and ten-mile incense from Chu. They guarantee that we will not get drunk and never return.
"
Cao Hua flicked the whip in his hand:
"Then lead the way, let's go see the most unique restaurant in the capital."
Cao Hua changed his attire on the carriage, took off his general's regular robe, but wore an ordinary regular robe and a martial arts scarf. When he arrived at Zuixian Tower, he jumped off the carriage.
Because he was worried about not having enough money, Zhao Ning did not dare to ask for a private room. He only asked for a table in the lobby and sat around to eat with a few of his followers.
In the lobby, people were drinking glasses of wine, and the sound of silk and bamboo was mixed with various discussions, making it a lively place.
Cao Hua had just chewed a chicken drumstick and was sucking his fingers under Cao Yun's disgusted gaze when he heard the young man at the wine table next to him put his wine glass on the table with a snap.
"Fuck you, tomorrow I will be a lieutenant in the Ding Army under General Cao Hua's Cangwu Army. If you continue to talk nonsense to me, I will kill you."
The young man was obviously drunk. He stood up, staggered, pointed at the people eating with him at the wine table, and cursed noisily:
"Mom, I've been putting up with you for a long time. Why do you look down on others just because your family has a lot of money?"
"How about it? After graduation, I will go to work under General Cao Hua. What about you?"
A young man who was eating with him stood up:
"Gubaopi, you are drunk, stop drinking."
"Bang"
The wine table was lifted directly, and the drunkard was shaking, pointing at the young man who spoke, his voice full of wildness:
"I've given you the shame of calling me a bonehead. Didn't I just lend you money a few times? What's the matter? I feel that if you don't ask me for it, you just pity me and treat me well. You're farting."
"The most unlucky thing for me these past few years has been to live with you. I have to endure your so-called kindness and bullshit every day, and use your morals to judge others..."
Cao Hua frowned and gave Zhao Ning a look.
Zhao Ning quickly left the table and went to the counter next to him. He asked the shopkeeper and the waiter who were watching the excitement. After a while, he slipped back and lowered his voice:
"A few students from the Jiangwu Hall who are about to graduate received money and came to Zuixianglou for a meal. Some of them are children of Xun's family and have some background."
"Commander Commander, do you want me to tell you that the students of the Jiangwu Hall are drunk and crazy in this public, and they will not lose the face of the Jiangwu Hall."
Cao Yun asked next to him.
Cao Hua picked up a two-headed abalone and said with a smile:
"Whatever you say, what are you after you leave the camp? Don't worry about it, we can't care about it either."
"Is the shortage of men in the army already to this extent? Tu Laoer even noticed this kind of thing and even gave him the money to break up the gang..."
"If you scold someone openly and openly, if you speak ill of someone behind their back, you are not a hero."
At the table of young students, a young man in a green shirt stood up. He seemed to have heard what Cao Hua said and scolded the table of Cao Hua.
Cao Yun stood up with a shout:
"What's the matter? I can't be a human being..."
Cao Hua glared at Cao Yun and stared at her next words, then pulled his badge from his waist and threw it on the table next door.
"Danglang"
The waist tag fell on the table and hit the soup plate, splashing soup all over the faces of the surrounding trainees.
"Let's take action, copycat."
The reckless student soldiers have already begun to pull up the bench.
The alert student grabbed his classmate and used chopsticks to take out the waist tag. After seeing it clearly, the waist tag fell into the soup again.
"Plop"
"General!"
The young student who first asked the question had a trembling voice.
My father is an honorary relative, but his title is only General Xuanwei. Since the prince came to take charge of the army, it has been difficult to advance to high-ranking military ranks. In the twenty years since His Majesty has been on the throne, only five people have been promoted to generals.
None of the four famous ZTE generals in the army was promoted to general.
This person is a general, and judging from the attire of several people, they all seem to be women.
It seems that the only existing female general among the two gods of civil and military affairs is the literary general Cao Hua.
Could this be the literary general Cao Hua?
Several students leaned their heads and said a few words, and they all instantly became weak.
The person carrying the stool was even more confused and hugged the stool. This... he encountered the general in trouble.
Zhao Ning knew that Cao Hua's thoughts were all about being a leader in the army, and he didn't want them to make a fool of themselves in front of outsiders, so he walked up to a few soldiers and stretched out his hands.
"Bring it here."
The student Xun Bing, whose family is Xunqin, was clever. He picked up the badge, wiped it carefully, and gave it to Zhao Ning with both hands.
Zhao Ning pointed to the counter:
"After paying the bill, get out of here."
Several students, as if they had received amnesty, paid their bills and left.
Cao Hua took the badge handed over by Zhao Ning and asked Cao Yun:
"I see in the private room upstairs, it seems to be the prince. You are very discerning. Go and see if it is the prince's personal guard."
Cao Yun went away for a while, then came over and said:
"He is the prince's personal entourage. It should be the prince upstairs."
After hearing this, Cao Hua dropped the chicken bones, wiped his hands, and walked upstairs.
"I'm going to see the master. You guys have good food and drink here. The martial arts hall is about to graduate. I have to find some people for the Cangwu Army. There is a shortage of people everywhere now. It will be too late. This year's new army will not be able to find them.
Take someone with you."
"The army is short of men."
In the private room of the restaurant, Yu Wei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was sitting across from Su Lu, sighed and said:
"Your Majesty, if you speak to the students of the martial arts hall, you should allocate a hundred people to me. We are short of people on the stone rail line. We are short of people."
