Chapter 740;
Chapter 690;

"Who says it's not? This is a war, not a trip to the mountains and rivers, and a catty of meat a day..."

The words of the last civil servant finally completely pissed off the honest Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry;
"Liu Shilang, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Are you guys going to work for your life or go on a tour? Don't you know?

Which family does not have children to fight?There are 26 younger sons and grandsons in the old man's family who work in the sixteen guard camp!

Are you all so envious of sharing a catty of meat a day?This was brought by Li Da. Think about it, more than 1 people have been tossing back and forth for a year, so that the soldiers can have a safe meal and have more energy to kill the enemy. Shouldn't the soldiers be changed into one meal a day? "

"Uh, old Shangshu, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry..."

"I bother!"

"Brother, don't be impatient, this is in His Majesty's study."

"Yes, fourth uncle, don't be so anxious, let's discuss it later!"

"Hmph, if it weren't for His Majesty's study, the old man would have vomited on you today, a catty a day, or even one or two less. Your Majesty, I will tell you, I have never talked too much in the court, and I have never said anything. But this time I want to say that one catty a day is really not much, Your Majesty, think about it, many soldiers can eat three catties of meat in one meal, and they are matched with one catty a day, there is really no way to lose it, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin was also blushed and had a thick neck, isn't it because the court didn't spend any money, and even came to deduct military pay, how can the upright old man not lose his temper!

"Aiqing is right, I'm sure, I will only match one catty a day."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

With all the ministers shouting together, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry put away the three paintings on the table and put them in his arms;
"Your Majesty, don't worry, a letter came from the fish and meat team in the south a few days ago, asking the old minister to make room quickly, saying that it is a large amount of dried salted fish and earth dragon meat, which will be brought back in a few days. Alright, well, let’s not talk about it, there are a lot of things to do, my Ministry of Industry has now become the kitchen of the Ministry of Households, there is no place to separate many weapons and armor, and I have to make room for people to put meat, alas... ...Your Majesty's old minister has retired!"

"Okay, okay, Aiqing, pay attention to your body, don't get exhausted."

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. I'm in a strong body. The fish that Li Da gave me alone, I can eat almost two catties a day. Not to mention it's really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious fish. How about it? Don’t talk, don’t talk, go back and chew and work together!”

Seeing that the old man was like a child, a group of ministers were stunned, Li Shimin quickly gave the two servants a wink, and Du Ruhui immediately supported the arm of the minister of the Ministry of Industry;
"Big brother, good luck, I have never heard of those earth dragon meat, brother, you eat and drink so much every day, you are really enviable!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was delighted to hear it;

"Hahahaha, what's so difficult about it, you can go to the Ministry of Industry for a while, go to the yard behind me, brother Yu will give you a dozen catties and try it?"

"That's a deal, brother."

"Don't worry, a gentleman can't chase after a word."

"Okay, by the way, brother, why didn't Li Dalang send a letter to the team that Li Dalang arranged to buy fish instead of reporting to Li Dalang?"

"Hi! I said dear brother, don't you know that kid yet? A shopkeeper, who is as lazy as a pig and doesn't want to move. I have been taking care of these things since last year. I come back every two months. I’m afraid that I’ll hand over the batch of fish meat to the household department and be stolen by those rascals in no time, so I’ve kept the news and dared not let it out.”

A group of ministers carefully watched the two gossip. This stubborn, honest and insensitive old Shangshu has a close relationship with Du Ruhui in the entire court, and the rest is Li Dalang, so the only ones who want to talk about it are these two people. Li Shimin took a memorial and read it seriously like a normal person, but he never turned the page.

The upright Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has three paintings on his left side, chatting with his old brother and not forgetting to remind the emperor;

"Your Majesty, it's time to turn the page. Is there another important report coming up?"

"Oh, it's really not a small matter, but compared to what Ai Qing said, it's nothing compared to what Ai Qing said. You don't need to worry about me. What you say is that you are old brothers for more than ten years. I don't need it here. If there are too many taboos, there is no need to make everyone unfamiliar."

The honest Minister of the Ministry of Industry warmed his heart when he heard this, and extended his thumb to the emperor;
"Your Majesty is still the same as before, respectful and virtuous, and the old minister admires him from the bottom of his heart. In the old minister's heart, His Majesty is the true emperor of the dragon, the true son of destiny... Oh dear brother, what are you pulling me for? I haven't finished talking yet!"

"Brother, you stopped talking after half of what you said. It made me feel itchy. Anyway, I am also in charge of the Ministry of War. Now, brother, you are pinching the necks of more than 20 people under me. Can I not worry?

Brother, you and His Majesty's friendship can't be discussed later, let's talk about the things that my younger brother is thinking about, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight. "

The old man patted his forehead;

"Oh, isn't that right, you are in charge of the Ministry of War, I forgot all about this, don't worry, I'm urging you, what's the relationship between us?
Brother Yu has already figured it out. I will come back with another batch this time, and I will come back with another batch after two months. I guess it will be no problem to ask the army to match the meat for more than 20 days, but it is not all delicious earth dragon meat. There are many more The meat of other big ichthyosaurs. "

Du Ruhui saw His Majesty's puzzled eyes from the corner of his eyes, and hurriedly asked;
"Brother, can those other fish be eaten?"

"What do you call this? Why can't you eat it? It's similar to eating Li Dalang's yak meat, and it's also delicious. I can't figure out why Li Dalang is so good at eating. Let's go, please leave your majesty, go to me Walk in the Ministry of Industry once, this time Brother Yu told you to open your eyes and try something new, and you also bring back ten catties to give His Majesty and colleagues a taste, to see if what Li Da made can satisfy the Erlangs? "

"Succeed, I want to go and see it too. I really didn't expect such an important military ration to be taken by you, brother. It's really amazing. I think you don't have to go to the Ministry of Households to go to the Ministry of Accounts. You don't have to go far behind Shangshu!"

"Your Majesty, please retire, I am thinking about the food of the Erlangs..."

Before Du Ruhui could finish speaking, Li Shimin immediately put down the notebook and stood up;

"allow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sir, please retire!"

"Old Shangshu, walk slowly."

The two left the study holding hands and supporting each other. When they reached the door, the old man was still talking to his good brother;

"When you bring the meat over later, don't tell him Rogue Liu to eat it. I've been displeased with him all the time. I didn't expect him to be so stingy now. This bitch grandson can make me very angry..."

A group of ministers who heard this all hid their faces and laughed, and Liu Shilang looked at Li Shimin innocently;
"Your Majesty, I have become a street rat today!"

"Don't worry about it, Aiqing. The old Shangshu is also worried about state affairs, but I didn't say you. Didn't I see that the old Shangshu's face was dark at that time? I didn't dare to continue talking, so I quickly brought over a memorial to check, you But it’s a good thing, the non-stop spitting has made people angry, right? If you want me to tell you, you can be content, at least you didn’t spit on your face today, did you?”

Liu Shilang, in his early 50s, shrugged his shoulders;
"Your Majesty, you are right. The fourth uncle's temper didn't spit on my face today. It is really commendable. Speaking of which, it still took your Majesty's attention. If it wasn't for you, I might not know how to deal with the ministers. I would definitely not do it in another place." Hechen is kind enough to let it go."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry held the picture scroll, and got into the carriage with Du Ruhui, and the two old friends rushed to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry!
The two got out of the carriage and laughed, talking and laughing all the way around the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

"Greetings to Pushe, and greetings to Shangshu."

"Let's get busy."

"Yes."

Du Ruhui watched a group of horses pull brand new armors and followed behind the cart;
"Brother's ability is known to everyone in the world. You really deserve your reputation. In today's world, you are the only brother who can manage the affairs of the Ministry of Industry so admirably. These armors are so carefully made. They are really the best things I have ever seen in my life. gone."

"You can't worry about it, brother, it's all worn by our own sons and daughters, if we cut corners, someone will die because of it."

"Ok?"

Du Ruhui was holding a pair of shoulder armor in the storeroom, and he moved closer to examine it carefully, then looked up at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry;

"Brother is so meticulous?"

"This is Li Da's idea. You also know that I don't think about it too much. What I value is the level of the goods, not these officialdoms. But Li Da said that the Qin Dynasty was carried out in this way, so I I asked the subordinates to do this, and after thinking about it, it really saves trouble. For example, the armor in that place can't stop the thief's knife or gun. If something happens when it shouldn't happen, then just check With these words, you can immediately find out which master handled the thing and who made it."

Du Ruhui kept nodding and sighing;

"Awesome! This method has been proposed many times in the Qin Palace, but unfortunately it has never been implemented due to various obstacles. I didn't expect my brother's household department to start first..."

"Let's go, brother, the yards behind are full of food, let's go, let's show you what Li Dalang is really capable of today."

"Good good."

The two put down their armor, followed by seven or eight officials of different grades, and dozens of policemen, all the way through the corridor, the moon gate, and came to the gate of a large courtyard with five entrances.

The aged Xia Shangshu waved his hand;
"Remove the big lock."

"It's Shangshu."

As the ancient wooden door opened, Du Ruhui kept twitching his nose, laughing while reading the book;

"Let's go, brother, here are all delicious food, I want you to satisfy your gluttony today."

Du Ruhui kept nodding his head, a group of people casually entered the first courtyard, and sent someone to open the door of the first wing room, seeing all kinds of small ceramic pots placed higher than people, Du Ruhui was dumbfounded;

"It's all earth dragon meat here?"

"That's right! These five yards are all full of earth dragon meat, come here! Bring a few jars and open them, and ask Du Pushe to check what the sons are eating."

"only!"

A seventh-rank official moved a jar very actively, opened the seal, and a smell of meat immediately wafted out. The seventh-rank official took a clean cloth towel, fished out the meat inside, and respectfully sent it to Du Ruhui;

"Report to Pushe, the earth dragon meat is here, please inspect and taste it."

"it is good."

Du Ruhui wasn't in a hurry, nor was he greedy, he was just thinking about Shiliu Wei Erlang's rations, he took a large piece of meat and chewed it carefully, without any expression on his face!Many officials of the Ministry of Industry are a little disappointed!
Kan Shangshu looked at his brother with full expectation;

"What kind of brother? How about Li Da's magical method? Have these earth dragon meat ever caught your eye?"

Du Ruhui, who swallowed a big mouthful of meat, nodded, and concluded very seriously;

"The taste is so delicious, I wish I could swallow it with my tongue. It's not that my little brother talks a lot. You don't need to pay attention to these things, as long as you are full."

The old Shangshu shook his head when he heard this;
"You think the same as everyone else, but Brother Wei coincides with what Li Da thinks."

"Oh? Would you like to hear more about it?"

"Li Da said that soldiers are also human beings, and they want to eat something good. There is no doubt about it, but the point is not here. The point is that with these delicacies, soldiers don't have to waste energy making food.

You only need to make some rice or pancakes to eat with these delicacies. The virtuous brother is in charge of the Ministry of War, but he didn't realize the beauty of this? "

Du Ruhui, who was devoting himself to eating meat, stopped his mouth and stared wide-eyed;

"That's right! Brother is right. You can save a lot of effort at critical times. For example, when a surprise attack is needed, a quarter of an hour is extremely precious. How can it be wasted casually? It's even more impossible to bury the pot for food, so many times the boys are It’s not that the generals are being mean to those who go on the road hungry, but that the opportunity for war is fleeting, and it’s too late after the pot is buried and the food is eaten and drunk.”

"Yes, brother, after having these delicious meats, eating two Hubing together can satisfy your hunger and save time. You guys still eat with great relish, so why not do it?"

Du Ruhui didn't say a word, just ate and drank, ate two big pieces of meat in a row, and then hugged his stomach in satisfaction;

"Li Dalang has always cared about eating and drinking. He is the best eater in the whole world. It is really a fuss to make a marching food so delicious. By the way, brother, didn't you say that there is not much earth dragon meat? There are other fish. Filled up?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them, and they are in another yard. Let's go, Brother Wei will take you there."

Du Ruhui nodded while pointing at the two jars on the ground;
"Okay, okay, brother, can you get two jars and go back, so that His Majesty can also take a look at the military rations of your sons?"

The old Shangshu nodded and ordered the officials around him;
"Bring these two jars to the servant, and then go to the old man's house to get two jars to fill up. These are the military rations of the sixteen guards. No one has the right to enjoy them. You must not use one or two."

"only!"
