Chapter 225: Resources
To figure out the intentions of the superiors, in modern terms, is to understand the intentions of the superiors. This is not a bad thing for leaders, and having subordinates who can fully understand their ideas and implement them can save a lot of worry when being a leader. But if it is used to figure out the preferences of the leader and deliberately welcome it, it is a crooked and evil way.
Zhao Hao originally felt that everything Huang Xianyao and He Rende had done was very decent, and he didn't feel inappropriate when he reviewed the former army. Because he now has a little insight into whether the army has always had combat effectiveness, and through the review, he can not only see how the training level is, but also whether the morale of this army is high, and the former army has done both of these things, but he has a problem eating a meal.
The Jiyang Army was more remote and less populous than the Wan'an Army, and it was correspondingly more difficult to obtain local necessities. But the number of troops in the front army is much lower than that of the right army, but Han Zhen still needs to grow his own vegetables to supplement the army. When Zhao Yu inspected the barracks, he found no signs of self-reliance in the former army, but this meal was better than the Chinese army with good supply conditions, so he also specially ordered someone to secretly check the canteens in other battalions, which was also good. Generally good is not good, because this is beyond the local supply capacity of the Geeyang Army.
In this way, as long as there are two possibilities, one is that the former army has money to buy it back from elsewhere at a high price, and don't underestimate the food money, which is also a big number, then where so much money comes from is a problem; Another is Huang Xianyao's show for himself. If it is not a problem to just entertain his own group better, or to eat better in the battalion where he eats, it means that he just wants to leave a good impression on himself, but if the whole army is so bad, it may be suspected of misappropriating military funds.
For this reason, Zhao Yu changed the practice of summoning the officers in the battalion en masse, and instead met with the former army officers individually. While inquiring about the affairs of the army, he quickly learned some information under the side attack of the bridge, and if the affairs bureau and the general bureau found out that there was anything to be bored with, they would definitely report it, and there was an old man in the handsome mansion who inadvertently said that everyone had passed the days of water and rice for several days, and today he finally solved his cravings. Based on what he learned, he judged that Huang Xianyao did not embezzle military funds, but saved a few days' food money and put it in a pot today.
After finding out the truth, Zhao Hao couldn't talk about being angry, but he thought that this kind of atmosphere could not last. Now that he can successfully win a smile from himself, then in the future, if he can't keep it, he will do things to kill good people and lie about the military situation to please himself. And his success will also make others follow suit, so that the whole Shuai Mansion will form a culture of yin and yang disobedience. If they are not stopped, over time, they will become more and more emboldened, and they will do unforgivable wrongdoings, harming themselves and the Shuaifu......
"Ni Liang, there should be Dutianling ahead, you take someone to inquire where the iron furnace slope is?" The group walked for two hours, getting farther and farther away from the city, and the road became a forest path that only allowed two people to walk in parallel.
"Yes, Your Highness, but can there be anyone here?" Ni Liang agreed, but left and right looked at the dense woods, which was the tall artemisia grass, and he was a little embarrassed.
"There must be people on the road, and the grass and trees on the side of the road are luxuriant, and there is no grass on this road, and there must be people who come and go often!" Zhao Yu pointed to his feet and said.
"Commander Ni, what His Highness said is good, you can just look for it." Ying Jieyan nodded.
"Your Highness, but this place is too far away from the city, and it should be the territory of the slang people in front of it, I am worried about ......" Ni Liang said hesitantly, there were not many people accompanying him, and he was really not at ease if he left.
"Go ahead! The slang around here is all cooked slang, and it won't do anything to us. Zhao Yu said impatiently, "Zheng Yong, find an open area and rest for a while, my ass is about to turn into eight petals." ”
"You must take good care of Your Highness, and don't leave the left and right, if there is ......"
"Go ahead, don't be verbose!" Seeing that Ni Liang was still slow to move, he told Zheng Yong uneasily, and Zhao Yu raised his face and shouted. He then left with two guards who were familiar with the local language.
"Commander Ni is really loyal to His Highness!" Ying Jieyan looked at it and said with a smile.
"Mr. is still smiling, his temperament is loyal, I don't know how to place him, he can't follow me for the rest of his life!" Zhao Yu said a little helplessly, he knew that Ni Liang's loyalty to him was undoubted, and it was difficult to promote him, now many people are at the level of control, and he is only a commander.
"The old man sees that Commander Ni is by no means a mediocre talent, as long as he guides him well, His Highness will have one more fierce general." Ying Jieyan said.
"Oh, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also herded, and then the gentleman will take him under his door, how about it?" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows.
"This ...... Then let him be the old man's registered disciple! "Ying Jieyan thinks about it, His Royal Highness accompanies him in class as if he reads with him, and he teaches it even if he doesn't teach. And he also liked Ni Liang's straightforward character, so he accepted it along the way. But it is not easy for His Highness to accept him as a disciple, so he hesitated and said.
"Hehe, congratulations to Mr. for having another proud disciple!" Zhao Hao smiled and arched his hand.
While the two were talking, Zheng Yong had already led people to find a smooth and airy open space not far away, and after cleaning it up, he invited His Royal Highness to come over, where felt had been laid, incense to repel mosquitoes was lit, and realgar was sprinkled around.
"Your Highness, it must be a good thing for you to bring us to this wilderness, right?" Ying Jieyan was also a little tired, sat down and drank the water and asked, he knew that His Royal Highness had a character that could not be profitable and could not afford to be early, and it must be profitable for the gods to run into the barren mountains and old forests mysteriously.
"Hehe, Tielupo, does Mr. hear the origin of this place name?" Only then did Zhao Yu know that riding a horse was not a good thing, not to mention the pain in his buttocks, and the pain in his thighs, he said half-lying regardless of his image.
"Iron Furnace Slope?!" Ying Jie Yan muttered, he knew that place names often came because of their shape, or because of something or something, "Could it be that there was once an iron-making furnace here?" ”
"Ah! Sir is really knowledgeable, just guess it! Zhao Hao high-fived and smiled.
"Your Highness is saying that there is iron here!" Ying Jieyan said in surprise. As far as he knows, Qiongzhou does not produce iron, but whether it is to build weapons, farm tools, or build ships and houses, there is no shortage of consumption, and now the consumption is all based on the purchase of high prices from the outside world, and once the war is tense, it will inevitably be listed as a prohibited transaction, and it cannot be bought, but if Qiongzhou can produce it itself, it will definitely be a great thing for the Shuai Mansion.
"I guess there must be, but how many there are, whether they can be mined, I don't know yet!" Zhao Yu nodded affirmatively...... (To be continued.) )
