Chapter 24: Lunch
Yun Zheng thinks that no matter how successful or frustrated he is in life, he can't ignore the kindness that others have imposed on him, perhaps only these kindnesses are a benchmark to show whether he is successful as a person.
It's not about wealth, it's not about wisdom, it's not about status.
When he came to the Great Song Dynasty, what he lacked most was the love of others, and when he hugged Yun Er and trembled against the whole world, he knew that it would not work.
That's why there was bacon, and then there was Lu Qingqing, who made a home if he didn't have a home, and his parents couldn't make it, so they could only imagine in their brains that they hadn't seen their parents, and Yun Er's parents were equal to nothing, so the two brothers concocted a perfect parent image together, Yun Zheng himself was embarrassed to say, Yun Er simply overlapped the image of his parents and the image of Yun Da.
With parents, you need to have a teacher who is almost perfect, Mr. Peng Li's upright and square personality is very suitable, although Lu Qingyuan is not bad, Yun Zheng thinks that his feelings are mixed with too many other things, and there is no purity of Mr. Peng Li's feelings.
The entire Jiazi battalion was dispatched, and they formed a column and quietly drilled into the mountains.
Today is actually not a good weather for entering the mountains, heavy rainstorms can easily attract mudslides and landslides, but the troops of the Jiazi Battalion have become accustomed to receiving Yun Zheng's orders, whether they are good or bad.
Since the main will enter the mountain, there is a reason why it is necessary to enter the mountain, Zhou Tong just asked one more sentence, and Liang Ji and Peng Jiu looked at him as a fool, in the minds of the two brothers, the words of the master do not need to be questioned, just follow along, as long as the master walks in front, it is not impossible to go through the sword mountain and the sea of fire.
"General, is it really wise for us to enter the mountain like this?" Zhou Tongqiang endured the contemptuous gaze of others and still asked this sentence.
Yun Zheng snorted, it was normal to cry too much today, none of his facial features. Only now did I realize that crying is actually a very strenuous thing.
"Unwise, even stupid, but my order has been given, what do you think is the problem?" Yun Zheng looked at Zhou Tong and asked.
Zhou Tong wiped the rain off his face and said helplessly: "You are the general." The one qiē here is naturally up to you, and I am your subordinate and only have the share to follow. ”
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, I've heard a saying before, it is called that a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, and before you become a general, you still need to work hard to get closer to this truth." ”
This sentence immediately made Zhou Tong interested, and he followed behind Yun Zheng and asked, "Aren't you worried that I will rob you of your position?" After all, I'm making rapid progress now, and sooner or later I'll catch up with you. ”
Yun Zheng smiled: "Then hurry up, if you adjust your ambition higher, I will be even happier." Only when you all become the commanders of an army can I have enough men to do my own thing. ”
"Rebellion?" Zhou Tong stopped and asked.
"Bullshit rebellion, we have to fight until everyone thinks that rebellion is a very boring thing. When I was very young, when I was reading history books, I discovered that rebellion was actually the most boring thing to do, in addition to making the country worse. There is no benefit, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang's uprising is like this, and the same is true of the Green Forest Red Eyebrow Uprising, people in the name of crusading against the faint monarch actually don't think about the welfare of the people, they want to be the emperor themselves, so they actively rebel. As long as there is a rebellion, you will find that the most unlucky people are the people.
Cao Cao said it well, if there is no him in the world, I don't know how many people are emperors and how many people are kings. What kind of scourge is not as terrible as the princes, Zhou Tong, I don't really have much ambition as a person, I just plan to live happily, who doesn't make me happy. I'll make him sad, if I can kill some bastards who like to be emperors by the way, my life will be even more perfect. ”
When Yun Zheng said these words, he suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, this is the feeling of telling the truth, very down-to-earth, very comfortable, very stupid, this kind of heartfelt words, I must say less in the future.
Zhou Tong pouted and said, "If you want to be a loyal minister, how can you put your feelings first?" Shouldn't we put the will of the officials first? ”
Yun Zheng simply stopped and looked at Zhou Tong and said, "Do you think that people like me will simply worship a certain person?" Or brainless people who take the will of others as their own? Lao Tzu is the only person in the world, and the only thing that can make me bend over in this world is affection, as for other smiles. ”
"Shall I be the second one?" Zhou Tong asked with a smile: "I think it's very enjoyable to do this." ”
"You are the third, and Yun Er is the second person, just a little worse than me."
The rain kept falling, and the army marched in the rain, because of the silence, the whole army in oilcloth raincoats looked very strange, and occasionally encountered people hurrying in the heavy rain, they either burrowed into the woods, or knelt down in the muddy water, clubbed their heads on their knees, and did not dare to look at this silent and suffocating army......
When Bao Zheng came to Dujiangyan, in addition to a few veterans guarding the barracks, Su Xun, a member of the army, was leaving Su Xun, a member of the army, who was commanding a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to rest in the damaged places on Dujiangyan.
It's a place of abundance!
Lao Bao, who has been a pro-people official for many years, saw the difference here at first glance. Wealthy military camps are not uncommon in the Great Song Dynasty, at least the Japanese army camp in Tokyo is very rich, they occupy the best place in the capital, can do a lot of business, the largest pig in Bianliang City, Tokyo, the sheep trade is to support the Japanese army, this business can also be done by others, the law of the Great Song Dynasty does not stipulate that only the Japanese army can do this, but the whole Tokyo is indeed only the Japanese army is a business, and other traders can not beat the Japanese army.
It is clear how many people have died in secret, but it is difficult to move the Cao family, the Privy Council, the empress, and the emperor's face have to be taken care of, and the most important thing is that the Cao family really has a gold medal for avoiding death.
That thing is handed down by the ancestors, Cao Bin's merits are high, and he has relieved himself of military power, Zhao Song Dynasty thinks that as long as the Cao family does not rebel, nothing is unforgivable, Bao Zheng has warned the Japanese army countless times, but people can find out the substitute ghost every time, kill a person to resist the fate, and claim that there are more than 50,000 people in the Japanese army enough to kill Kaifeng Mansion.
Lao Bao walked with his entourage in the dry school military field while laughing, and also stomped on this flat open space, this place should be often used, covered with a layer of river sand, not a trace of stagnant water, only to find that the whole school military field is high in the middle, low around, and the water can't be retained at all.
Some women and children were carrying river sand on their backs to fill the school military field, and some children were still lying on the ground, checking whether their beds were level, and everyone was very attentive.
Everyone here has their own thing to do, some are feeding the horses, some are feeding the sheep, some are feeding the pigs, and the oldest woman is also feeding the chickens with a bowl of deflated millet.
The cleanliness of the camp was outrageous, and the old bag was sure that the open space in the palace was not as clean as here, and the doors and windows of the barracks had just been painted, which was to prevent termites, and it was the best place for that thing to breed in humid and sultry weather.
Bypassing the barracks, I finally found some young people, their work is very tired, but it seems that the spirit is very good, this is a brick-making workshop, many strong men are making blanks shirtless, and their sturdy bodies are covered with mud and dots, one by one with their big mouths and giggling, from time to time they are scolded and urged to work by some old men.
The little daughter-in-law came to deliver the meal, and everyone would laugh at it but not obscenely, looking at such a group of people working in an orderly manner, Lao Bao found that his gloomy mood seemed to have become better.
Someone was ringing the bell, it was already noon at this time, the barracks became lively, Su Xun, who hurried back, invited Lao Bao to dine together, Lao Bao refused Su Xun's invitation to invite him to the officer's canteen for dinner, and insisted on taking the servants to learn to line up, chatting with the old soldiers in front of and behind him, while observing everyone's reactions everywhere.
Whether life is good or not, it is enough to look at the spirit, some women still wear filial piety on their heads, holding small children in their hands and waiting for the meal, there is not much sadness on their faces, and the children are even more chattering and playing, until they are yelled by the old army, they will hold their mother's legs and hide their faces.
Lao Bao never thought that he would be able to eat meat in the canteen of the sergeant and the women and children, it was indeed meat, a spoonful of oily meat, rice was also polished rice, and with a big spoonful of green vegetables, it was today's lunch.
Su Xun, who was following behind Lao Bao, said with a smile: "Let Ming Gong see it laugh, you came suddenly, you can only eat these shoddy meals, and please ask Ming Gong Haihan for rudeness." ”
Lao Bao looked at the food on his plate and asked suspiciously: "Mingyun, you tell the old man honestly, is today's meal because the old man came to make it on purpose, or is it like this on weekdays?" This kind of meal has surpassed the food of the wealthy people in the Great Song Dynasty, and the old man doesn't believe that you can eat like this in Jiaziying. ”
Su Xun said with a smile: "Today's lunch is just a very ordinary meal, to be honest, I also asked when I took office in the barracks, the general was unwilling to explain, and he left the account book to me and ignored it.
The general said that the money is not saved from the mouth at all, but earned, this year more than the Jiazi battalion not only participated in the suppression of bandits, but also their own livelihood, the lord took everyone to Qingtang, Xixia is even more expensive, so it can fully support such food, I heard that the public here and my Jiazi battalion 5,000 yuan of silver money has not been collected. ”
Bao Zheng took out a pile of Jiaozi from his sleeve and put it in Su Xun's hand and said: "Five thousand Jiaozi, two silver goods, remember to show the account book to the old man, the old man also wants to see why Jiaziying eats meat all at once!" ”
