XLII. How old are your sons?

Tuntian is the most important, and it is related to the future of the Dingyuan Army.

No military power can last long by plundering and requisitioning grain from the people.

In this era, large-scale professional soldiers can afford to raise for a while, but they can't afford to raise them for a lifetime.

History has proved that if you want to stand firm and walk steadily, you must be tuntian.

At this point, Li Shanchang and Zhu Wu coincide.

Now there are nearly 70,000 soldiers in the Dingyuan army, 5,000 each in Dingyuan and Zhou, 10,000 in Dangtu, and 15,000 in Zhenjiang led by Guo Xing. In addition to these people, there were also a large number of surrenders.

Surrendering troops, Zhu Wu didn't plan to let them go to the battlefield in a short period of time, and before Jiangnan was completely stable, he still believed in his Huaixi disciples more. On the other side of the river, countless Huaixi men who can't survive are the continuous source of soldiers of the Dingyuan Army.

Therefore, their most direct task is to farm and farm.

This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and it is so cumbersome and detailed that it makes people's scalps tingle.

By the time Zhu Wu and the civil officials finished arranging the affairs of Tuntian, it was afternoon in the blink of an eye, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

(The plot has been very flat lately, so there are a lot of long things about Tuntian Balabala here, so I will delete them!) )

"Lan Yu, get something to eat!"

After sending these civil officials away, Zhu Wu poured a few sips of tea and shouted loudly outside the door.

"Fifth brother, the guy surnamed Xie is here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Hmm~~~? Let him in! ”

To tell the truth, Zhu Wuding didn't want to see this son-in-law, but the last time he said that he wanted to transfer shipbuilders from Fujian, he couldn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person.

"Manager Zhu!"

Xie Fuan came in like a dog and arched his hand, "I'm bothered!"

"What's the matter, sit!"

At this time, Lan Yu came in with food, and Zhu Wu smiled, "Have you eaten or not?" Didn't eat a piece? ”

A few steamed mixed breads, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a few pieces of pickles are black. Xie Fu'anzhi glanced at it, and his head shook like a rattle.

"Fujian, is there any news from your uncle? Shipbuilding? ”

Zhu Wu was not ambiguous, took a bite of the bun, and asked while chewing in his mouth.

The big fist of the bun, he bites half of it in one bite, why is his mouth so big? Why are your throats so thick?

Xie Fuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "There's no news yet, but it should be soon!" You can rest assured that I will do things~~~~~~~"

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened.

Zhu Wukou is heavy, and the pickles are not enjoyable. Grab a few cloves of raw garlic, don't peel the skin, bite off the top, bite from the bottom up, just like swallowing melon seeds.

Click! Click!

Xie Fu'an couldn't swallow his saliva anymore, as if his saliva had a spicy taste!

I'm heavens!

He actually eats garlic raw, and eats so much at once?

This garlic is average, not as enjoyable as a single clove of garlic. I swallowed half of the steamed bun, and I felt a little taste in my mouth. Picked up the vegetable soup and took a few sips, went down smoothly, and saw Xie Fuan staring at him directly.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah~~~~ You are such a big manager to eat this?" Xie Fuan finally swallowed his saliva and asked.

Zhu Wu smiled, "Do you think I seem to be a delicacies from the mountains and seas with you?" I want to eat it too, but I can't afford it? I have more than 100,000 mouths under my hands, and I spend money like running water! ”

"That's not going to be like that~~~~"

Zhu Wu put down the soup bowl, "What the brothers eat, I will eat." As he spoke, he shook the steamed bun in his hand, "Taste it!" ”

"No, no, no~~~~!" Xie Fuan waved his hand again and again, but somehow, his stomach suddenly gurgled ~~~~~~

Then the little face turned white, I wanted to cry without tears, I didn't call it early or late, but I called it at this time!

What is this called? If he insists on giving me steamed buns, will he eat them or not?

Zhu Wu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this girl, in addition to being a little silly and a little flustered, is really a little cute.

His heart suddenly softened, and he put the steamed buns aside, "I heard that the duck blood vermicelli soup in Jinling City with sesame baked cakes is good, let's go, I'll treat you, let's eat outside!" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up Xie Fuan, and the two walked out side by side.

Stinky man, do it again!

Xie Fuan wanted to get rid of Zhu Wu's big hand quietly, but before he could make a move, Zhu Wu's big hand had already wrapped his arms around his shoulders naturally, and the two of them walked out like good buddies!

Xie Fuan, stunned!

Zhu Wu's garlic-flavored mouth shouted in his ear, "To tell you the truth, I haven't spent money to invite others to dinner when I'm so big?" ”

If there is a smell of garlic, it is wafting.

The heat on the side of the ears is tickling the heart.

Xie Fuan, stupid!

At this moment, the two of them came out of the house, and Lan Yu, who was guarding outside, said to the soldiers, "Keep up with the fifth brother~~"

"No need!"

Zhu Wu's prank was successful, and he was faintly happy in his heart, "We are around here, and we will be back in a while!" ”

"That's not going to happen, Fifth Brother~~~"

"What about Zhu Yu, let him follow me!" Seeing Lan Yu's insistence, Zhu Wu saw Zhu Yu holding a big bowl in the corner and eating a lot.

"Dad, I'm here!" Zhu Yu held the bowl and ran upside down, the two snots under his nose were flicked one by one, and he grinned and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Xie Fuan's mind just came to his senses, and he directly pushed Zhu Wu away, and he was flustered again!

Father?

Son?

Looking at Zhu Wu's young face, he suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Didn't you say you weren't married? Where did this son come from?

So, he said in a weird way, "Yo, Mr. Zhu, your son is so old?" ”

"Confess, fake!"

Zhu Wu put his hands behind his back and walked forward leisurely, "Besides, what kind of eyes do you have, how old am I?" Such a big son was deducted from the greenhouse in advance? ”

Xie Fuan only understood the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was confused.

Just wanted to ask, between Zhu Yu grinned, just in time for him to change his teeth at this time, one of his front teeth was missing, and his speech was a little leaky, "Su~~~"

~~~~~~~ Jinling City, the tiger is in the dragon pan, and the weather of the thousand-year-old capital is naturally not comparable to those bitter cities in Huaixi.

When I walked out of the camp and into the street, my eyes were full of endless streams of people, and my ears were full of crisp and loud shouts. Pedestrians are weaving, and most of the clothes on their bodies are also shiny, and the silk and satin are endless.

When it comes to the most prosperous area, it is even more lively like a brocade of flowers. Even if Zhu Wu has seen the high-rise buildings of later generations, he is still dazzled at this moment. He has been in this world for so long, except for the time when he asked for food, he really didn't have a good look at the world.

The high-rise buildings of later generations just look lively, but in fact, they have nothing to do with the people. And at this time, making trouble, people next to each other, and words after words, is a picture of true life.

No wonder, the ancients were often able to write brilliant poems such as what flowers bloom on a night in the east wind, the reason is that our past, no matter from any aspect, is so bright that it is a mess.

The hustle and bustle in front of you is still in this troubled world, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, what should this Jinling City look like?

Thinking of this, and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Zhu Wu was a little stupid.
