Ma Zhong, who walked slowly, did not go to the office.
Instead, he turned back to the inside of the small school grounds, nodded to the soldiers who were saluting along the way, and found a place to eat.
This room is quite spacious, and there are many soldiers devouring their food. There are many lowly men in the army. The postures of these soldiers eating include sitting on a skip, leaning on the corridor, sitting on the floor with legs crossed, etc., and the sound of chirping is very loud and can be heard all the time. They kneel and sit on the flat table.
There were only a few people dining in the front. Judging from the armor, they must be uncles or military officials.
Perhaps they were used to it. When the chief officer Ma Zhong came in, everyone nodded and smiled without being polite.
"Eat as much or as little as you want."
Ma Zhong turned his head, looked at Zheng Pu, nodded, and gave an instruction.
"promise."
In response to the respectful words, Zheng Pu raised his head slightly and looked at the food across the crowd. He couldn't help but praise in his heart: What a wonderful life.
He was in a military camp and had enough rice.
The meals here include rice, bean rice, and several kinds of salted vegetables to choose from, and the steaming miso soup has a slight splash of oil.
It's really rare.
Perhaps it was because the men in the army ate a lot, and the pottery bowls they used to eat were quite large.
Zheng Pu glanced at the rice that was speckled with bran. He simply put the rice, salted vegetables and miso soup into a pottery bowl. He found a corner of the table and sat down. He didn't care about his appearance, and he bowed his head and took a big mouthful of chopsticks.
He was indeed very hungry.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's diet was simple and small. He was half hungry and half full after eating last night. He had little sleep at night, and his stomach was already empty.
Little did he know that Ma Zhong, who was eating properly in the distance, kept glancing at him from the corner of his eye.
Seeing him acting like this, he looked away and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
When he was young, he burped slightly. Zheng Pu put down his bamboo chopsticks and looked sideways to see Ma Zhongshang eating slowly. Then he went out of the eaves to get some water to rinse his mouth, and stopped to wait.
I was already sleepy when I stood for several breaths, but as soon as I finished eating, I couldn't help but feel sleepy.
Zheng Pu suppressed a yawn and cast his eyes on the soldiers who were coming out of the meal. The athletes who were having a meal at the moment had tired faces and sleepy eyes. They should all be on guard duty at night. As soon as they came out, they unloaded their clothes while walking.
A, go back to those military tents.
It also made Zheng Pu take a closer look.
Most of them have crotch hair, or their heads are tied up in buns, and are wrapped in cloth. They are dressed in colorful fabrics, and their skirts are shorter than those of the Han people. Some of them are tall and majestic, and there are strips of black and blue tattoos on their exposed skin.
Before entering the account, he lowered himself down and took off his cloth shoes, then put his bare feet on the ground and stamped and rubbed them, as if to release the impatience of being restrained by the clothes.
"They are all Ji people, also known as Banzhen Man, and nicknamed the 'Bajun Magic Soldiers'."
Just as Zheng Pu was observing it carefully, a faint voice came into his ears.
Looking sideways, Ma Zhong came to his side at some unknown time and was looking at the athletes. He said in a slow tone, "He is naturally brave, uses a board as a shield, and is good at fighting with bows, crossbows and spears. Many people are straightforward and heroic.
He loved obscenity, singing and dancing, and was good at hunting and wine-making. In the past, he once sent his whole family to help the great ancestor settle Guanzhong, and later helped the court to quell chaos many times. However, when the late emperor settled the land of Hanba, Cao Gong moved the seven-surnamed Yi king Pu Hu to join him.
Du Yi, the Marquis of Yi, settled in Yecheng, and tens of thousands of households of Ti people came to Guanzhong. Today in the land of Sanba, the power of Ti people is no longer what it used to be."
"It turns out that the white tiger is reviving the barbarians. Thank you very much, Governor, for clarifying the confusion."
After Zheng Pu heard this, he expressed his thanks.
Um.........
A slight nasal sound.
Ma Zhong waved his hand and walked forward, gesturing for Zheng Pu to follow, "Zijin seemed sleepless last night, right?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zheng Pu to reply, he added, "If you are interested in military affairs, you should get used to the roughness of this army as soon as possible. Well, there should be less etiquette. There are many unruly soldiers in the army and many people who despise writing."
"
"promise."
"Last night, the Prime Minister called me to discuss matters. He said that you have plans and plans, so let me take a closer look. In the future, if you need maps or other things, or want to see how the soldiers of the various units cooperate in forming formations to perform martial arts, just come and see me."
"Puduo, thank you, Governor!"
"Ju Xiaoxing, you already know him. He records affairs for his subordinates, leads the army, and is in charge of the laws of the army. If you need to ask for leave in the future, or if you need to be escorted by soldiers when you go out on official duties, just look for him."
"promise."
"Also, there are many soldiers in the army who are illiterate. You used to teach elementary school in the mulberry garden at home. Now when you come to the prime minister's house, if you have free time, you can give a lecture to the soldiers. If you don't want all of them to be literate, use the words in your new calligraphy book.
Allusions, teach more about being loyal to the emperor, observing integrity, self-restraint and doing good."
"No! Governor, don't worry, I know the importance of this."
.....................
Walk slowly all the way.
Ma Zhong was not only called Yin Yin, but also frequently mentioned military affairs and Zheng Pu's future responsibilities.
When he arrived in front of the superintendent's room, he stopped talking, went inside and sat down on his own. He motioned with his finger to Zheng Pu to sit down first, and then gently knocked on the table.
Immediately, generals, soldiers and lieutenants who had been waiting outside came one after another.
Ma Zhong asked in a low voice one by one about all the trivial matters of the day, and from time to time he would bow his head and write quickly, so he was very busy.
It also made Zheng Pu, who was bored, even more sleepy.
He was a little confused as to why Ma Zhong let him sit here and watch.
Moreover, as a secretary, isn't it his duty to write documents and documents?
Why not ask him to write?
After a long time, no one came into the house. Ma Zhong seemed a little tired. He put down his pen and rubbed his eyebrows for a while, then suddenly asked, "Zijin, are you tired?"
Well........
Is there no shortage of An Neng?
I almost pinched my legs to cheer myself up.
Hearing this, Zheng Pu, who was struggling to keep himself up, looked sideways.
But he saw Ma Zhong looking sideways, his eyes and corners of his mouth full of jest; he was completely different from his previous capable and serious image.
Feeling slightly startled, Zheng Pu paused for a moment, but answered truthfully, "Back to the governor, Pu is quite sleepy."
"Well, I'm quite sleepy too."
Nodding, Ma Zhong stood up, straightened his back and shrugged his shoulders to relieve the pain of sitting for a long time, and walked outside the office. As he walked, he said, "We both went to bed late at night. I still have to watch the day and night, but Zi Jin can go home and rest. It's true."
It’s so frustrating!”
Zheng Pu, who had already stood up and walked to follow, was stunned when he heard this: He just said, I can go back long ago?
"Hahaha~~~~~~"
Immediately, Ma Zhong saw his appearance and his teeth brightened.
After a while, he stopped laughing and reached out to pat Zheng Pu on the back, "We and other Ba people like to joke, and even more so. Zi Jin will get used to it soon, and he will be able to supervise them in the future with less hardships.
"
Um!?
Do I want to lead the army?
Zheng Pu, who was still secretly angry at first, suddenly felt happy in his heart, and tried to use a very gentle voice, "Did the Governor just say that Pu will lead the army in the future?"
"This is what the Prime Minister asked me to do."
Ma Zhong nodded and said solemnly, "However, it's not yet time. Zijin is familiar with military affairs first and waits patiently. Well, if you have free time during these days, you can follow the words of Xiaoxing and walk in the army.
."
"promise!"
Zheng Pu also made a solemn appearance, bowed his hands, and said, "Puding will live up to the prime minister's love and the governor's support."
"No need to be polite."
Ma Zhong waved his hand, walked out of the office, pointed to the right, "This is your office. The people under my command, whether soldiers or civil servants, must stay overnight in the Prime Minister's Mansion for ten days in a month. There are many,
Don’t be too few! Violators will be subject to the marching law!”
