Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 358 The rich food, the shock of the captives
Received breakfast, not many things, a bowl of porridge, but this porridge is thick, and there are two dried radishes in it!

Shanzi and Li Goudan got together and ate with big mouthfuls, and within a short while they ate a big bowl of porridge and the dried radish into their stomachs.

Touching his belly, Li Goudan said contentedly: "It's really comfortable, I didn't have it when I was in the mine before."

Shanzi licked the bottom of the bowl again with his tongue, until he licked the porcelain bowl allotted to him until it was shiny, then said disdainfully: "Come on, Zhang Papi, that miser, still wants him to provide you with breakfast?

It would be nice if he could provide a bowl of porridge for lunch, it was still kind of sparse, and after drinking it, he would be hungry within an hour in the afternoon.

If it wasn't for earning some money to go back, who would do it for him!

But this bastard, it’s fine if we don’t give him food, but he even refuses to give us the wages we worked so hard to earn!

Damn!If you don't do him, who will you do! "

Speaking of the former mine owner, Li Goudan also showed an angry look on his face.

"That's right, when I hit him on the forehead with a mine draft, he threatened me, saying that he would kill me if he didn't die. What happened in the end? Humph! Then let him die first!"

Putting his bowl away carefully, Shan Zi said: "Okay, it's all over, now we are in this situation, not much better.

Next, work hard to save your life. "

Li Goudan also carefully put away the bowls and chopsticks. This is the guy who will eat by himself later, so he can't lose it no matter what.

Road:
"Brother Shanzi, don't worry, I know.

However, if there is always such good food here, I think it will be much better than at the mines. "

"Okay, stop dreaming, maybe it's because we specially let us eat something good on the first day, and it won't be so good later on."

"Can't you?"

"who knows……"

The conversation between the two did not attract the attention of others, and everyone was eating with great mouthfuls. After eating the porridge this morning, the soldiers of the Pingwa Army were a little bit unsatisfied and said:

"Why is breakfast so vegetarian today, without even an egg?"

The fellow at the side gestured with his chin to a group of miners who were sipping porridge and said:
"Look at how many more people are eating, and now they are all using our military rations, so the quality must drop.

But it is estimated that it will only be one or two days. I heard from the official next to the high court official that the high court official has sent a signal to Bianjing. The grain ship will arrive this afternoon, and we will be able to restore the standard of food by then. "

"That's it, alas... that's fine."

The soldiers of the Pingwa Army who were not too full could only nod helplessly.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Dingguo gulped down the porridge in the bowl, then wiped the corner of his mouth with his cuff and asked Zhou Lin, who was still eating the porridge slowly: "Zhou Shilang, when will the supply ship from your court arrive?

All we use here is our military rations. You know that there are not many soldiers on the march. It was expected to be enough for us to eat for more than ten days. Now there are 20 more mouths, and I am afraid that we can eat them all today.

This is all because we lowered the ration standard for the soldiers!
But it can't be delayed for too long, lest my brothers under my hand have opinions. "

Zhou Lin was startled when he heard this, and pointed to the porridge bowl on the table and said in surprise, "Is this still lowering the standard?"

He knew that what he was eating now was the military rations of the Pingwa Army, and he also knew that the rations of the Pingwa Army would be tense to feed so many people at once.

But he was a little shocked when he saw that the Pingwa soldiers were still eating porridge made of polished rice this morning.

At this time, ordinary people in the Song Dynasty used polished rice to cook porridge in the morning. Even ordinary landlords couldn't help eating this way. Most of them just ate chestnut rice porridge.

Now, after hearing Li Dingguo's words, a breakfast with such a good relationship still lowered the standard in the eyes of others, so how good they ate in Yunzhou County before!
Li Dingguo picked his teeth with a toothpick and said indifferently:

"This is naturally lowering the standard. We used to be in Yunzhou County, and the standard set by His Majesty the King of Yun was that there was porridge and vegetables in the morning, and each person had an egg and a pancake.

This is our normal breakfast standard.

The conditions for going out are not so good, and we usually have at least one piece of cake.There are eggs without cakes.

Now, in order to save money, no cakes are given to the brothers in the morning, and the food standard has dropped off a cliff! "

Zhou Lin opened his mouth wide in shock.

what? What?
What did he just hear?
Those soldiers under King Yun's command had to have porridge, vegetables, cakes and eggs just for breakfast when they were in Yunzhou County!
Even the court guards of the Song Dynasty did not have this standard!

How can this be a big soldier, even the landlord Lao Cai in the country would not be willing to eat like this!

No wonder these soldiers can fight, and if they eat so well, if they can't fight a little, I'm afraid King Yun can tear them up!
But, but this food is too good, right?

Zhou Lin was frightened.He didn't dare to continue to ask about the standards of lunch and dinner, otherwise he was afraid that he would be irritated.

If he were to know that the Yunzhou army now had meat for at least two meals a day, he would open his mouth wide and couldn't close it, his jaw might even drop from shock!
This is the food standard of the Yunzhou Army, and it also symbolizes the underlying power of the Yunzhou Army.

To be able to provide the army with this standard of food for a long time, Zhao Jun said that there is no one else except us in the Song Dynasty!
As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, other people's soldiers are half-fed, and his own is full, the flesh on his body is rising, and the big guys have strength during the battle, screaming and rushing up, how can the Yunzhou army not be strong?

"Zhou Shilang! Zhou Shilang!"

Zhou Lin, who was in a daze, was woken up by the gradually louder calling, only to find that Li Dingguo was looking at him suspiciously.

"what?"

Zhou Lin was at a loss.

Li Dingguo sighed, and had no choice but to repeat his question just now: "The general is asking Zhou Shilang, is there any food in the supplies brought by the court this time?"

Zhou Lin came back to his senses, and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, I have deliberately sent back the news that a large amount of food is needed here, and asked them to prepare it according to the amount of 20 people a month. When the food arrives, I will return the food that General Li and you have subsidized for the past two days."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo finally felt relieved, nodded and said, "That's very good."

At this time Zhou Lin said again: "The imperial court originally prepared a sum of money to recruit the people, but it seems that it is no longer needed now. I plan to use the money to buy more grain and materials for building river embankments in northern Hunan."

Li Dingguo was puzzled when he heard the words: "It would be understandable to buy food, why should we buy more materials for the construction of river embankments? Didn't these courts provide them?"

Zhou Lin smiled wryly and said: "General Li, you are not in the officialdom, so you don't know that the things allocated by the court have never been all from beginning to end.

The matter of building the river embankment was personally watched by the Holy Majesty, and they didn’t dare to go too far. We should have about seven cities left with the supplies, money and grain of the ten cities.

If it weren't for us, His Majesty personally decided this matter.It's not bad that they can keep five.

This is definitely not enough, and the remaining money can be used to purchase more materials, so the materials for building the embankment should be almost enough. "

As Zhou Lin said, he shook his head with a look of misery and helplessness.

Li Dingguo said: "Servant Zhou, His Majesty personally ordered and supervised this time. They dare to stretch out their hands. Haven't you thought about reporting them to Your Majesty?"

Zhou Lin shook his head: "General Li, do you think His Majesty doesn't know?"

Li Dingguo was taken aback, but Zhou Lin continued:
"Your Majesty knows all these things they have done, but they are just pretending not to know.

Now not only them, but almost the entire public officialdom has this kind of ethos. Anything that passes through their hands will definitely be withheld by [-]%.

And if you don't go through them, then you can't do anything about it, so even if you know that they will reach out, your majesty can only turn a blind eye. "

Hearing this, Li Dingguo suddenly laughed and said:
"Why does this general feel that His Majesty is so aggrieved as the emperor? It's not as comfortable as our prince.

If this is in our Yunzhou County, whoever dares to do this, the prince will dare to go up to them the next day to meet the grandma they haven't seen for a long time.

According to the prince's temperament of cutting grass and roots, the most likely thing is to send the other party's family on the road neatly. "

Zhou Lin smiled wryly, but couldn't refute it.

The two talked for a while, and then dispersed again. Li Dingguo still had a lot of things on his hands.

The army of nearly 2 people is busy with all kinds of miscellaneous things every day, but he has no time to chat here.

And Zhou Lin also had to prepare to arrange the unloading of the ship in the afternoon, and there were a lot of things to be busy, so the two left separately.

The time soon came to Xiangnoon.

After dinner this morning, Shanzi, Li Goudan and others were taken to their workplaces today. According to the officers and soldiers of the Pingwa Army who brought them here, there will be a transport ship from the imperial court arriving this afternoon. Their main task today is to put everything on the ship.

Not long after I finished identifying the land, it was time for dinner again.

This time, there was no need to be urged by the soldiers of the Pingwa Army. Many experienced miners lined up consciously, holding their bowls and chopsticks and rushing to the place where the meals were put, looking at them like that, the soldiers of the Pingwa Army watching them rolled their eyes for a while.

Just for something to eat, as for?
……

As for?Of course as for.

You have to know what kind of life they lived in the past, doing the hardest and most tiring work, but drinking gruel every day, or sometimes they couldn't even eat porridge.

Then where is the life of a human being, it is not even as good as a beast.

A breakfast this morning made everyone excited.

But the porridge made of polished rice is still so thick, everyone has been looking forward to the noon meal early.

Now that the time has finally come, everyone rushed over impatiently to wait for the meal.

They want to see what they will have for lunch today?

The soldiers in charge of serving meals were startled when they saw so many people rushing over on the first day of the junior high school, and it took a while to react.

Without delay, he immediately opened the bucket of rice, and the next moment, a scent of wheat rushed into everyone's noses.

The bucket turned out to be full of a large bucket of white flour steamed buns.

Another bucket on the side is pickles, and there is a white song soup next to it!
Whoa!
In an instant, all the miners drool all over the floor!
Damn it, where is the food for the captives?

That's white flour!White flour steamed buns!
