"Do you know why His Majesty the Emperor asked me to be the capital commander?"

Although Liu Chang and Qu Jin were not present at the time, they also listened to the people present at the time afterwards, and the two of them said at the same time: "I heard someone say it!" ”

"That's good!" Zhao Junsheng nodded and said, "As far as I know, although the ration given to the baggage battalion from above is not as good as that of the garrison army and the right guard army, it will not make those soldiers under you starve like that, how much are you greedy in the middle?" I didn't want to take care of everything before, after all, I wasn't all at that time! But from today onwards, if Captain Pontus finds out that the soldiers' military rations and materials are being coveted and their salaries are coveted, Pontus will not look for anyone else, but for the two of you! ”

Liu Changhe's face was a little ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything, it was not a joke to crush people to death at the level of officials in this era.

Zhao Junsheng knocked on the desk and said: "Bendutong doesn't understand, a soldier's ration for a day is only a little bit, and you are all embarrassed to intercept it?" Don't you feel ashamed? ”

Deducting military food and salaries is not a glorious thing, but now that it is pointed out by Zhao Junsheng in person, Liu Chang and Qu Jin are even more weak and embarrassed, and they dare not refute.

"Okay, I didn't mention the previous things, I was just giving the two of you a wake-up call, ringing a wake-up call, and you can't do it again in the future, do you remember it?"

Liu Changhe dared to talk back, and agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my subordinates remember!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea, looked at the two and continued: "Although you no longer deduct military salaries and rations, but the soldiers still can't eat, since they can't eat, then don't say anything about drills, if the drills are not in place, the soldiers' combat power will not be improved, and if they encounter enemy attacks in the future, they will not be able to resist, it is a fatal thing, although you have not encountered it, but you can guarantee that you will never encounter an enemy raid?" As long as there is one time, with the current situation of your two battalions, it will definitely be the end of the end! ”

"So if you want to save your life, you have to let the soldiers practice hard, as the saying goes, 'raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while', sweat a lot in peacetime, and it can come in handy at critical moments!"

Liu Chang cried with a bitter face: "The subordinates know that everything makes sense, but how can the brothers practice if they can't eat enough?" With the current ration of our baggage camp, we can't carry out a slightly more intensive drill at all, otherwise the brothers will definitely not be able to bear it, and it will be a big deal if someone dies at that time! ”

Go Jin also echoed: "Yes, all are unified!" How can the brothers practice without food, and even if they do, they will be weak, and it will not be effective."

Zhao Junsheng watched the two of them take turns performing in front of him, crying and pretending to be bitter, sneering in his heart, it is strange that such a person can bring out good soldiers, and this person still has some enterprising spirit, but this person will definitely not listen to him; As for Liu Chang, this guy has always been able to get by, he can lie down and never sit, he can sit and never stand, he is purely a puddle of mud and can't support the wall.

He muttered and said to them, "You have been called here today to solve the problem of feeding the brothers. There are more than 1,000 people in the Huaishuo camp, and they can only barely eat, and there is no extra grain and grass to distribute to you, so if you want to solve the problem of eating your brothers, you mainly have to rely on yourself, and Bendutong will see if you can find An Dashuai to find a way to bring some food to support you temporarily, but I can tell you, don't put all your hopes on the top to solve the problem of food and grass for you! ”

"How to solve the problem of eating, can you two think of any solution?"

Go to Jin and spread his hands: "It's a little funny to ask Dutong, if your subordinates think of a way, why wait until today?" ”

Liu Chang has also been putting on a bitter gourd face: "Yes, all the generals, subordinates really can't think of any way!" ”

Zhao Junsheng gave the two of them an idea; "Why don't you go to your old bosses, King Yongchang and General Tuoba, respectively, and ask them to support you with some grain and grass?"

Qu Jin opened his mouth wide, and was stunned for a while before he said: "Only Dutong dare to think, how could King Yongchang and General Tuoba distribute the grain and grass of the soldiers to our baggage battalion?" It's not like we haven't asked for it, but they just won't give it, do you want us to rob it? I can't grab it! ”

Zhao Junsheng looked kind from the time these two people came in until just now, and at this time he suddenly jumped like thunder: "You two are pigs?" They don't give you food and grass to feed your soldiers, so why should you listen to them? Why should you be loyal to them? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers! ”

Qu Jin and Liu Chang were frightened by Zhao Junsheng's huge reaction, and their bodies trembled greatly, and they didn't dare to look at Zhao Junsheng, both of them cowered, as if they were frightened a lot.

Zhao Junsheng stared at the two of them with a serious face: "Okay, since you can't think of a way, then you will act according to the orders of the Pondutong!" First of all, starting tomorrow, the two of you will take your brothers to open up the wasteland outside the camp and plant soybeans and millet until the autumn harvest, and after the harvest, turn over the land again, plant wheat again, and harvest it again the next year! ”

Qu Jin and Liu Chang immediately put up difficulties and told the facts: "Dutong, you want our lives at this time, those who promised to be soldiers under our brothers are here to be soldiers, not to farm, if they want to farm, they will not come to be soldiers, and you can't carry out this order at all!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Bendu doesn't care about this, the order has been issued to you, you have to take your people to carry it out, basically an average of one acre of land per person, complete the reclamation task within five days, and then Bendu will go to inspect, if the task is not completed, Bendu will be held responsible, if you are willing to continue reclamation, Bendu will not object!" However, there is one point, it is not allowed to open up wasteland on the edge of the imperial tomb, you have to stay away from the military camp and find a place with water source for irrigation! ”

"Let's talk about the second method, this month's military salary will not be paid for the time being, and the Pomtune will intercept it for you to buy poultry and livestock and distribute it to you, and you will send people to raise them, and when the poultry and livestock grow up, sell some of them for military pay and then return them to the soldiers! The rest can be used for breeding, and when the small poultry and livestock are born, the larger ones can be sold for food, or they can be used to add meat to the soldiers! ”

The entire Jinling battalion, not counting the Fertile Ye Army that had been stationed in Shengle City, there were about 14,000 people, in addition, there were 1,000 Lingling guards, and there were many villages around it with ordinary people, and the total number of people added up to more than 20,000 people.

The soldiers of the Right Guard and the garrison army have money, and the baggage soldiers also pay their salaries every month, although so many people spend most of their time in drills and do not have much time to go out of the camp, but there are still people in demand, which causes many soldiers and generals' families to come to the camp to set up shops and stalls, selling all kinds of groceries and daily necessities, and even many merchants have opened wine shops and restaurants around, and even there are several brothels.

In a small wine shop outside Jinling, Qu Jin and Liu Chang sat opposite each other, with three dishes on the table, and bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses in front of each of them.

Liu Chang took a sip of his wine glass, "I don't understand, why did the emperor transfer our three baggage battalions separately, and let Zhao Junsheng be the commander of the capital, wasn't it good in the past?" Look at it now, when he comes to power, he is a new official taking office with three fires, and he lets his brothers go to open up wasteland and farm, and he can figure it out! ”

Qu Jin smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?" You can just listen to his orders, can it be true that you really go to open up wasteland and farm? Even if we were willing to cooperate with him, would those lazy soldiers be happy? Don't pay attention to him, with General Tuoba supporting you, he doesn't dare to do anything to you! ”

Liu Chang shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of him, I'm worried that this kid is playing yin!" Haven't you heard that this kid dared to stop the emperor outside the camp gate and not let him in, if it was you, do you dare? ”

"Naturally, I don't dare, this kid is nothing more than grandstanding, this time he is lucky, he has touched the emperor's vein, the emperor didn't care about him, he won't have such good luck again!"

Liu Chang stopped his chopsticks and looked up at Guijin: "So, Brother Daojin doesn't plan to carry out Zhao Junsheng's order to open up wasteland and farm?" ”

"If you want to go, I won't go. My brothers still have to practice, and they have to escort grain and grass supplies, how can they have time to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land? Qu Jin shook his head and said.

Liu Chang was still a little worried, and said, "Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Zhao Junsheng when the time comes?" Go to Brother Jin, you should understand, we are not under the control of General Tuoba and King Yongchang now, but under the control of Zhao Junsheng, if he insists on holding us accountable, and refuses to give face to King Yongchang and General Tuoba, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around then! ”

When Liu Chang reminded him like this, he hesitated a little in his heart, and hesitated and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

Liu Chang looked left and right, leaned over to his ear and whispered: "Let's still do what Zhao Junsheng instructed, and order the soldiers to go to the wasteland and farm, do you say that if the soldiers make trouble, is the responsibility borne by him Zhao Junsheng?" ”

Qu Jin's eyes lit up when he heard it: "This is a good idea!" ”

······

Hollywood.

Tuoba Tao and his party walked on the crowded street, constantly looking around.

"I didn't expect a small dock fort to develop into a scale and prosperity no less than a county town, which is really an eye-opener for me!" Tuoba Tao sighed.

Zong Ai immediately said: "This is all under the governance of Your Majesty, the Great Wei has today's prosperous and prosperous era, the people of the world are grateful to Your Majesty, and future generations will inevitably praise Your Majesty's cultural and martial arts!" ”

Tuoba Tao was very comfortable when he said this, and he laughed: "Hahaha······ The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the eunuchs in the palace can also speak to your little son! By the way, where does Julu Huijun practice? ”

A civil official next to him stepped forward and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it will be in the Xiaosheng Zen Monastery three miles away, and it will be there soon!" ”

The crowd passed through the bustling bazaar, and soon came to the bottom of a hill, followed the stone stairs all the way up, and reached the top of the hill with a cup of tea.

The head of the monastery, Zen Master Haoyue, has led the nuns in the monastery to line up in front of the monastery to greet them.

"Amitabha, the poor nuns of Haoyue led the female nuns of the Xiaosheng Zen Monastery to welcome the arrival of the holy car!" Zen Master Haoyue clasped his hands together and shouted the Buddha name to Tuoba Tao who came over.
