Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 487: Still Poor
At nightfall, Zuo Fu and others had reached the ground of Huzhou.

After Zuo Fuling's army stopped, he began to send scouts to investigate.

According to the previous information, this time the commander of the Qing army was Aobai, and this man's bravery was well-known even in later generations.

Moreover, this person has experienced many battles and is rich in experience, so he should be much more difficult to deal with than young people such as Fu Lata.Therefore, Zuofu was very cautious along the way, kept the soldiers on guard at all times, and allocated troops to protect the people who escorted the supplies.

Now that he has entered the ground of Huzhou, Zuo Fu does not believe that Oboi will wait in the city, so stop at this moment and send a small group of people to spy on the military situation is the most important thing.

Moreover, the soldiers were very tired after running for a day, so they just took advantage of this time to rest.

Set up a pot, heat up water, put instant noodles in it, add some dried vegetables from Qiongzhou, cut a few slices of luncheon meat, and put some pickled mustard, it is an excellent enjoyment for this field march.

Some soldiers who followed from Jiaxing to serve as auxiliary soldiers swallowed their saliva. Since the instant noodles were put into the pot, these people never took their eyes off the pot. up.

Straight girl thief!
I have long heard that the Zuo family army is treated well, but I didn't expect that the marching army would eat so well when they were outside. This is God!
As soon as the noodles were ready, these people couldn't wait to take out the military lunch box given to them by the Zuo Family Army before departure, and stared at the big bosses of the cooking team, waiting for this bite.

The people in the cooking class made them feel scared, but they understood them.Back then, didn't they also have this virtue?
Therefore, with the idea of ​​understanding, these Jiaxing soldiers were taken care of and took the lead in eating instant noodles.

At first, these people felt a little embarrassed, but it was obvious that the Zuo Family Army really didn't mean to be modest, so they also let go of their minds, squatted down with their military lunch boxes and ate them.

After taking this bite, I felt that my sky spirit cap had been lifted!
God!

How can there be such delicious things in this world!
Looking at these soldiers from Jiaxing, the Zuo Family Army smiled unkindly.

In fact, the instant noodles that ordinary soldiers eat are very ordinary. The noodles are packed in boxes, without seasoning, only noodles, and the seasoning is sold separately.

Although the taste of this seasoning is not bad, it cannot be compared with the individually packaged instant noodles that officers eat.

The instant noodles eaten by the officers are all individually packaged, with vegetable packets, oil packets and seasoning packets inside. This kind of instant noodles is delicious!

The noodles are very springy, and the soup base is even more delicious. During the battle, the superiors will give them a few packs of such instant noodles, but they are reluctant to eat them, so they keep them in their hands and taste them with their families when they go home.

However, although individually packaged instant noodles taste better, this kind of eating is not bad right now.The dried vegetables are produced in Qiongzhou, and there are several flavors of cooking, such as pork ribs, seaweed and seafood.

Put these things in and cook them, add some oil, and then cut a few slices of luncheon meat or ham sausage, which is also a good enjoyment during the march.

A group of soldiers from Jiaxing hulala finished the noodles. When they heard that the man was full, they all went crazy and gathered around the cooking class with their lunch boxes.

These people don't have a lot of oil in their stomachs and have a big appetite. They can only be satisfied after eating six or seven pieces of bread.

Zuo Fu looked at these people, as if he felt that time went back.

When I was at the Jiangdong Guard Office, all the military households who tasted instant noodles for the first time could eat so much.Now that eight or nine years have passed, the leftist soldiers have reduced their appetite because of their stable and sufficient protein intake.

Thinking of the pictures of the past, her eyes became dark.

At the beginning, she felt happy seeing the satisfied military households; but now...

She no longer felt happy, but felt heavy for no reason.

Although high-yield grain and three-dimensional farming have come out, the common people and these ordinary military households are just full.

Many people still do not have meat to eat, and after her visits and inquiries in Jiashan and Jiaxing, she found that these ordinary military households and ordinary people are only a little bit better than before.

The high-yield grain has indeed greatly relieved the hungry stomachs of the people, but it is obvious that at the grassroots level ruled by the clan and gentry, some people have tampered with it and controlled the flow of grain to the market.

Although low grain prices will hurt farmers, it will not hurt farmers if the price of grain is gradually lowered.However, high-yield grain has been promoted for many years, and the price of a stone of rice is still nearly 700 yuan, which is a bit unbelievable.

You know, Zuo Fu has only been working in Qiongzhou for five years, and the price of grain has been reduced to 300 Wen a stone, which is about one dollar and five dollars when converted into soft sister coins.

Of course, prices in Qiongzhou are lower than those in the inland areas, but even so, grain at 700 a stone is too expensive.

Therefore, after visiting, she felt that someone was manipulating the price of food, which is why the price of food in the inland area dropped so slowly.

Thinking of this, Zuo Fu couldn't help sighing silently.

The greed of human nature, if left unchecked, will bring suffering to many.These squires hold the most land, even if they sell it for 300 a stone, they can earn more than they used to.But when people's hearts are not satisfied, they manipulate the price of food, just want to earn more.

Daming is really rotten at the root, if you want to fix it, you can only completely overthrow it and start over.Thinking of Liu Runiang's letter to him, Zuo Fu thought of Zhu Cihong again.

How will this man who is qualified to be an emperor deal with the country gentry in the world in the future?When the external worries are resolved, can he still maintain his original intention of being the master of the people?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and when Zuo Fu came back to his senses, the instant noodles in the lunch box were lumpy.

"Big girl, let me get you some noodles again."

Zhang Ming stretched out his hand, wanting to make noodles for Zuo Fu again.

Zuo Fu shook his head, "Food is hard to come by, so don't waste it."

After all, he held up his chopsticks and finished eating the noodles in the lunch box.

After wiping his mouth after eating, he ordered: "You go and tell the guards to be more vigilant today, every two hours, everyone takes turns sleeping. Obai came to Huzhou, he is not easy to get along with , we need to be more cautious."

"Don't worry, girl, the place where we camped is not so easy to find. Moreover, the Qing army can't dispatch many people at night. Many ordinary soldiers are night-blind and dare not act rashly at night."

Zuofu nodded, "It's better to be more cautious, let everyone turn off the lights now, so as not to be exposed."

"Yes."

It was a peaceful night, and the scouts who went out to investigate in the morning came back.

To Zuo Fu's surprise, the Qing army really didn't set any traps anywhere, but instead moved all the artillery to Huzhou City, as if they were going to fight them to death.

Zuo Fu stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, and finally came to his senses.

During the First Battle of Jiaxing, there must have been a fish that slipped through the net and escaped. Knowing the firepower of the Ming army, so they gave up tactics such as sneak attack and only relied on the city wall to defend?
