Lord Moyu was forced to open

After pointing out the research direction for the firearms genius he accidentally discovered, Zhao Jun went to the cafeteria of Jingying under the guidance of Guan Ning.

That's right, when the army goes on a normal expedition, the Huotou Army will naturally accompany the army to cook, so naturally there will be no canteen.

But at the Beijing camp, Zhao Jun specially allocated funds to build a canteen for the military camp. On weekdays, when there are no expedition missions, each battalion will take turns to eat in the canteen according to the time schedule.

The cafeteria in Jingying continued the consistent style of the Yunzhou Army period. It was big, dark and rough, with a large space and simple decoration, but it could hold people.

The food standards set by Zhao Jun for the army have always been generous.

That means there is meat every day, and the meat dish eaten in Jingying today is beef stew with potatoes!
The potatoes are produced in Huangzhuang, and the beef is provided by the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce.

According to the food standards set by Zhao Jun, the food standards for army sergeants are one catty of rice, three taels of meat, two taels of vegetables and one egg a day.

Among them, the meat cannot be the same every other day, such as beef, mutton, chicken, duck, pork, etc. The vegetables are in season, even in winter, there will be bean sprouts, radish and cabbage, and fruits must be provided every three days. Soldiers.

It can be said that the military expenditure on food alone is an astronomical figure every month, but with the huge consumption and a lot of training, the soldiers trained are truly the elite among the elite with strong muscles and arms that can run horses.

Zhao Jun had just arrived at the cafeteria when he saw a group of big-muscled bullies walking around in the cafeteria, talking to each other or eating big meals.

Zhao Jun looked at these shirtless men in fine clothes with a satisfied smile on his face. He turned to Guan Ning and said, "It seems that the brothers' food money has indeed gone into their stomachs."

Guan Ning smiled bitterly.

Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what you are saying?
How dare we touch the food money of our brothers? Since the founding of the army, the food subsidy has always come from your internal funds. So every penny is watched by the secret guards to the current National Security Department. Who If you dare to touch a penny, your head will be lost immediately. Who dares to touch this money if they are impatient?
Zhao Jun didn't care much about Guan Ning's expression. He was also confident that no one would dare to covet the food subsidy he gave, otherwise he would definitely use the most cruel method to send his whole family to the West, even the people he trusted in the past!
This is your bottom line!
At noon, Zhao Jun and Guan Ning had a soldiers' lunch together.

Beef stew with potatoes, a fried vegetable, a bowl of rice, a bowl of egg drop soup, and today there is an orange for each person.

It can be said to be rich, colorful and nutritionally balanced.

By the time he left the cafeteria, Zhao Jun was already full of food.

With this meal, Zhao Jun asked himself whether he was worthy of these soldiers who worked hard for him.

Apparently the soldiers thought so too, and the eyes they looked at him were full of reverence and love.

……

The New Year passed quickly, and it was February of the eighth year of Xingwu.

After resting for a while, Wang Cezhi went to Jianjiang with Zhao Jun's imperial order to meet those red-haired people who claimed to be from Great Britain and see why they insisted on doing business with me, the Song Dynasty.

At this time in Jianjiang, Ningjiang Mansion.

The whole city knew that a group of red-haired fans came to Ningjiang Mansion. It was said that this group of red-haired fans came from overseas, from the other side of the sea. Each of these red-haired fans had red hair and red eyebrows. The reminder is just like that monkey, his body is covered with hair, he looks like an orangutan, he came to Ningjiang Mansion wearing weird clothes, found the Yamen again, and now lives in the Yamen.

It is said that the imperial court also sent envoys.

The Ningjiang government office at this time.

Yasuo is a residence specially set up by each government to receive officials who come for official business.

Whether they are temporarily transferred to Ningjiang Mansion, or passing by, or even coming here specifically to perform official duties, as long as they come to Ningjiang Mansion, they will definitely live in the Yamen.

This is a reception group built with public money. It can be regarded as a group of official organizations with the same nature as the inn on the journey. The group of red-haired people who came to Jianjiang at the end of last year were arranged to live here. After all, they called themselves envoys.

Paul Cordray came to the Song Dynasty specifically on the orders of Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain and wanted to see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty as an envoy to trade with Great Britain.

In fact, this is not the first time Paul Cordray has come to the Far East. He has been here once before, but at that time, he came as a maritime merchant.

It was only when he arrived here that he discovered that all the trade routes here had been monopolized by this country named Song.

This country named Song has far more territory than Great Britain, tens of times and hundreds of times the population, and more and more advanced firearms and warships.

There is no doubt that this is a powerful country.

Since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the entire European countries have been desperately exploring new territories and occupying new colonies. The footsteps of the British have also reached all parts of the world along with their exploration of the world.

Finally, in May, he discovered this brand new continent.

But unfortunately, this place is not ownerless. There is already a powerful country here. This allowed Paul Cordray and other people who had just arrived at that time to restrain their previous fierceness and tyranny when facing the indigenous people, and became Be polite.

They call themselves gentlemen.

However, to their surprise, when they were about to log in, they were rejected on the grounds that they looked inhuman and ghostlike, like ghosts!
No matter how they explained, the country's customs officials refused to allow them to land. In the end, they even mobilized a huge iron-clad warship.

In the end, Paul Cordray and the others had no choice but to leave.

Finally, he made a deal in another island country not far from here and returned to Great Britain.

When they returned and reported the situation of Song Dynasty, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the whole of Great Britain. Based on their description of Great Britain, scholars in the kingdom quickly concluded that this Song Dynasty was most likely the legendary Golden King. country!

What is the Kingdom of Gold?

It was a country recorded in the history books of the HRE Empire, the previous kingdom of Great Britain.

In the far east, there is a man named Khan? Or the country of Han. This country has endless wealth. Their people eat golden food, wear smooth and comfortable silks, have endless milk, and endless gorgeous clothes!
This country is a place that should not exist on earth. It is God’s Garden of Eden!

That is heaven on earth!

The people there have black hair and eyes like the people in Shinra.

Each of them has fair skin and tall stature. It is said that their ancestors are descendants of angels.

Where is the source of everything and where is the gathering of all good things. As long as you reach there, you can have all the wealth in the world!

The history books of the Shinra Empire refer to that country as the Kingdom of Gold.

And this legend has been circulating since the founding of Great Britain.

But today, with the support of the news sent back by Paul Cordray, people were shocked to find that this legendary golden country is very likely to appear!
So under the temptation of the Kingdom of Gold, Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain asked Paul Cordray to take her envoy across the ocean and came to this legendary Kingdom of Gold, asking to see the emperor of this country to let the gold The country trades with Great Britain and uses the wealth of the Golden Country to make Great Britain rise!
