Chapter 224: Wake up

Sure enough, Zhao Yu's itinerary the next day was like Huang Xianyao's 'arrangement', reviewing the former army in the morning, and having dinner with the generals in the camp at noon, eating the same food as the soldiers. In the afternoon, they summoned several generals and team leaders who were familiar with each other in the army, but they did not meet the commanders who were ready.

"Official, this food has a lot of money!" His Royal Highness has known to everyone if he has to pay for the meal during his inspection, and everyone is accustomed to it, and they have followed suit, of course Huang Xianyao also knows it, but when he took it over, the number was a lot more, and he asked Wang De puzzled.

"Not much, we have a total of thirty people, among which His Royal Highness and Fu Shuai eat in the middle stove, and the rest of the people are all big stoves, and the money for two meals is just right!" Wang De gave him an account.

"That's right, but the big official, you can eat enough small stoves!" Huang Xianyao said.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness said that he has come all the way from Qiongzhou, and he has eaten the food of all the armies, and the food of your former army is good, and the big stove is better than their small stove! So......" Wang De looked at Huang Xianyao and said with a smile.

"The food is better, so you can't let His Highness pay for the food according to the small stove!" Huang Xianyao said with a smug face.

"Hehe, Your Highness still has a few words for me to ask Huang Tongji!" Wang De smiled again, but there seemed to be something more in the laughter, which made people uncomfortable to listen to.

"Temple...... What does Your Highness want to ask? Huang Xianyao and Wang De are also familiar with each other, so they naturally heard the murderous intentions.

"Your Highness asked how much military expenses you have deducted? But remember the iron law in the house! Wang De had no smile on his face at the moment, and said coldly.

"Official, I'm ...... How dare I embezzle military spending? Please also ask Your Highness to be clear! Huang Xianyao heard this, and the hairs on his body stood up, and he said in a panic. He knew that His Royal Highness dealt with those who embezzled military funds the most severely, and he would not show mercy to his subordinates, but the fact that the prince did not come to ask in person made Huang Xianyao even more panicked, which showed that he did not even intend to give him a chance to defend himself.

"Your Highness also asked, since you have not embezzled military spending, where did the excess food money come from, and did you embezzle other expenses!" Wang De asked again.

"Great official, your subordinates keep in mind the teachings of His Highness, never dare to forget, and never dare to do anything to embezzle military funds!" Huang Xianyao fell to his knees with his clothes, and his face was already in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, in that case, you have to do things in the future, the Tartar knife is not wood, let alone paper, don't always think about playing some false tricks!" Wang De said in the tone of His Royal Highness.

"My subordinates have written it down!" Huang Xianyao kowtowed.

"Huang Tong, hurry up, Your Highness knows that you have paid for a few days' food to one day, let me tell you that you must not do this again in the future, so as not to underestimate the soldiers!" Wang De picked up Huang Xianyao and said, but found that his legs and feet were a little weak, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Thank you, sir!" Huang Xianyao wiped the sweat from his face, and said in a trembling voice, "Great official, but how did His Highness know?" ”

"Huang Tongzhi, you are also an old man in the house, I will say a few more words to you." Wang De bent down to Huang Xianyao and dusted the soil on his knees and said, "Although His Royal Highness lives in the mansion and it is difficult to go out, it is different from those princes and princes in the past, he not only knows what the Tartars are going to do, but also knows how much mutton is a pound in Qiongzhou City, and what is the price of your Jiyang Army radish and cabbage." So don't play with your Highness in front of your highness, it's all clever and can't make a big deal. ”

"I have been taught, please tell Your Highness, Huang will not dare again!" Huang Xianyao said again with a slug of words.

"Now that you know it's wrong, take the money as it is!" Wang De smiled and put the money in his hand and said......

On the third day, He Rende went to the backyard to greet His Highness after breakfast, but no one came out for a long time. When the sun rose, I couldn't help but ask that His Highness and Fu Shuai had just gone out at dawn, but it was not clear where they went. The city is such a big place, He Rende soon found out that His Royal Highness went out of the city gate with the guards to the east, and did not alarm anyone, which was very different from what Huang Xianyao said, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Sir, you said that the horses of the Mongols are short enough, but I didn't expect that the horses in this place are even smaller, not as tall as donkeys!" The group outside the city walked slowly, but Zhao Yu was riding on a horse, but even so, he was not as tall as Ni Liang, who was leading the horse in front, and couldn't help complaining. Today he wanted to go around the city, Ni Liang thought that it was inconvenient to sit in a sedan chair, and when he went away, he was worried that His Royal Highness and Fu Shuai, the old man, would not be able to do enough, so he found a few horses for them to ride and carry their luggage.

"Your Highness, although this horse is only three feet, it is very strong to walk, and it can fly through the forests and mountain roads, and it can not only ride, but also pull a cart!" Ying Jieyan is not small, if his feet are kicked, he will bend his knees and bow his body, and he simply droops his legs, and it is uncomfortable enough to look at him, he patted the horse and smiled.

"What is said is that one side of the water and soil supports the other side, and the mountains here are dense and the mountain roads are narrow, but they are more flexible than those tall horses." Zhao Yu smiled helplessly, he had seen this kind of pony in his previous life, but he saw it in the zoo, and he always thought it was introduced from a foreign country, but he didn't expect it to be produced in Hainan.

"Your Highness is right, the Mongolian horses we brought from Guangzhou are not resistant to heat here, they are easy to get sick, and it is not easy to raise!" Ying Jieyan said.

"Your Highness looks down on these ponies, but the people who occupy the city regard them as treasures, and send people to the Jiyang Army every year to buy them and supply them for the military."

"Well, then in the future, we will also raise some local horses in our army, and we will be able to carry military supplies into the mountains in the future, which is better than people, faster!" Zhao Yu said.

"What His Royal Highness said is right, this horse will be absolutely forbidden to be exported to other countries in the future, and the imperial court will buy and supply the military in a unified manner." Ying Jieyan thought about it and said, he knew that war horses were the most important strategic materials at any time, and the Shuaifu Army only had the batch of war horses captured and bought from Guangzhou, and it was not easy to replenish them, and they still needed to be bought from the local area.

"Yes, in the future, grain, copper, iron, gold and silver, grain, and livestock will only be allowed to enter and not leave, these materials are scarce on the island, once the war lasts for a long time, money will not be able to buy it." Zhao Yu nodded.

"Yes, when I go back, I will discuss with the City Shipping Division, list the Chen, and then report it to His Highness, this matter cannot be delayed." Ying Jie Yan thought it was authentic.

"Your Highness, where are we going? Why don't you ask the Zhijun to accompany you, you can't even find the way! Seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from the city, the road was getting narrower and narrower, but His Highness hadn't said to stop, and Ni Liang couldn't help but worry.

"Your Highness, the old man also wonders why he didn't want He Zhijun to accompany him?" Ying Jieyan also asked curiously.

"Hmph, these two people actually joined forces to guess the king of Du Ben and fool me together, of course, I have to give them a wake-up call, so as not to spoil the atmosphere in the future!" Zhao Hao snorted coldly and said...... (To be continued.) )
