Chapter 1335 A Delicious Meal (3)
Afraid that he might misunderstand, Qin Shuang explained: "I'm just interested in what you guys do to pass the time besides training, and how the food in the barracks is. Is it warm enough in the barracks in this cold winter? It won't be very cold. These trivial things are not intended to inquire about any military situation, and it is inconvenient to talk about them. We will not embarrass Vice General Chen."

Deputy General Chen didn't think much about it at first. Qin Shuang had the token of Situ's family in his hand. Just because of this, he would never suspect that they wanted to find out what happened in the barracks. Seeing that they seemed to be really interested in these things Naturally, he didn’t mind talking about it, but it was just a waste of time to satisfy their curiosity, and it wouldn’t hinder anything, and it could also make him feel a little bit more at ease, don’t eat other people’s things and don’t give anything back. them.

After all, they are here to help, not to fight the autumn wind.

Those things in the barracks are not very interesting. Qingyuan Mansion is quite a distance from the border and far away from the flames of war. The garrison seldom needs to be dispatched, and most of the time they are training in the barracks. A training basically lasts a whole day, only occasionally bandits appear in the nearby mountains, and some people are taken to suppress the bandits, or there are heinous murderers and arsonists in a certain town. Personal help.

The rest of the time, even if they don't train, it's basically a group of young and old guys with excess energy getting together to practice their moves. There are not many entertainment activities in their spare time, and life is very boring. In terms of food, as I said before, they It is very rare to be able to eat some meat. Generally speaking, the best military camps are the places where the border often fights, because there are the most casualties of soldiers, and people fight with their lives. Can you not let people eat a few more meals? , Every time you go to war, you must have a good meal of meat!

It's not a good dish, but everyone can eat a few pieces of fat meat, and if you're lucky, you can even have a little lean meat, which is enough to make people beautiful!It is normal for people like them who seldom participate in wars to eat meat once or twice a month. It is not an exaggeration to say that the meal they ate today was more meat than they ate in a year. Enough for them to go back and reminisce for several years.

This kind of treatment is not because the emperor of Xuantian Kingdom treats generals harshly, but because there are too many soldiers. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the whole country, and they consume a lot of food and grass every day. No matter how powerful and prosperous the country is, it will not be easy to supply it. Hungry will definitely not starve them. Although there is little meat, they can have enough food every day, but most of the food they eat is coarse grains, so they can't be expected to be too fine, as long as they taste good.

This is also within Qin Shuang's expectations. No matter what era soldiers are, their daily life conditions are not very good. It's not that the country is unwilling to support them, but that there are too many people to provide for them. It's better than letting them eat , the first thing to consider is to let them eat well, this is the key.

If one's own national strength is not strong enough, the soldiers can't have enough to eat, and the people who lead soldiers in battle can't have enough to eat, how can they be expected to win the battle?If you can’t win a battle, you have to reduce the military pay. It’s not enough to eat, and if you reduce it, you won’t get enough to eat, and then you continue to lose battles. That’s a vicious circle.

Considering this aspect, Xuantian Kingdom has done a good job.

Not only are they well fed, but the quality of the tents in the barracks is also very good. It is said that they are antifreeze and windproof. Although it is quite cold to sleep at night, it is not a big deal to say that they are frozen, and it is not a big deal to cover them tightly. The reason why these soldiers exposed All the hands outside have different degrees of frostbite. It is not because of insufficient warming measures. Well, it cannot be said that it is not enough. Their frostbite mainly comes from training outside during the day.
