Yang Tian saw that no one paid attention to it, and he didn't care, and continued: "We are soldiers of the Great Zhou, sweating and bleeding on the battlefield to protect our families and defend the country, but we can only eat this kind of pig food, let's talk about it, is this fair?" ”

"Of course it's not fair."

"What do you mean by the general, do you want to change the food for us?"

"It's nice to have something to eat."

All the sergeants exchanged their heads and ears, but none of them dared to reply to Yang Tian's words.

Yang Shi behind Yang **** shouted: "Lead my horse over." ”

Everyone looked at Yang Tian inexplicably, I don't know what it meant, after a while, Chiying was led to Yang Tian's side, Yang Tian put the small half bowl of rice in his hand under Chiying's mouth, Chiying snorted, the horse's head twisted to the side, and he didn't look at the food in Yang Tian's hand.

"Look, you don't even eat the general's horses, and some of you say, is this kind of food good?"

You are the uncle of the dynasty and the son of the Suiguo Mansion, what is so strange that the horses eat better than us, but there is no need to humiliate us, many people muttered secretly in their hearts, and anger gradually appeared on their faces.

Yang Shi and Yang Miao both anxiously asked Li Gang: "Mr. Wenji, what's wrong with Childe, isn't this deliberately disgusting everyone?" ”

Li Gang shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, the general naturally has the intention of the general." ”

Shi Wansui's face was covered with black lines, and he said to the king: "What does he mean, is he laughing at me? ”

Wang Shu also learned from Li Gang to shake his head, arousing the anger of the soldiers, it was definitely not a good thing for Yang Tian, judging from the previous performance, Yang Tian was by no means the kind of gentleman who did not learn and did not know how to do it.

"Okay, if you don't answer, then Ben will answer, no, very bad, can anyone tell me what you ate a year ago? Do you want to eat the same food as before again? ”

"Think, who doesn't want to, we used to eat white flour steamed buns, meat buns, and fragrant rice." Some of them whispered back.

"Just think about it, I know, you were originally the best soldiers in Da Zhou, but something happened, but you became the least valued soldiers, so that you were wronged, now that General Ben is here, you can't take care of these things above, and you don't have to care, since General Ben is your boss, he will never let you continue to be wronged, starting tomorrow, your food will return to the original level, as for the ordnance, the salary owed, will also be repaid one after another, tonight I will temporarily wronged everyone, Eat this meal for the last time. ”

Yang Tian ate all the last half of the small bowl of coarse food in his bowl, raised the empty bowl to all the sergeants, everyone looked at Yang Tian quietly, and suddenly burst out with a deafening shout: "Long live!" Banzai! ”

Shi Wansui's heart flickered for a while, this young man is too powerful, and he conquered the hearts of the whole army in half a day.

Wang Shu whispered: "General, don't worry, the higher you hold it, the heavier it falls, I'm afraid all the rice noodles in the barracks are not enough for the whole army to eat, if he can't let the whole army eat the previous food tomorrow, I'm afraid no one will listen to this kid anymore." ”

Shi Wansui said uneasily: "What if he transfers food from the court?" ”

Wang Shu snorted: "General, with the current situation in the court, even if he is the son of the Duke of Suiguo, he can't transfer the food for more than half a month. ”

Shi Wansui is concerned about the chaos, after Wang Shuyi's analysis, he immediately felt at ease, just diet, if it is restored to the previous standard of the Xuanlong Army, it will cost nearly a thousand times in half a month, although the Suiguo Mansion can afford this money, but the official only has to deduct the soldiers' salaries and food, how can there be a reason to post it upside down.

After eating, Yang Tian called the quartermaster, this quartermaster is tall, but he is not fat, it seems that the Xuanlong Army is really poor, and even the quartermaster can't be fat.

As soon as the quartermaster came in, he knelt down to Yang Tian: "See the general." ”

"Excuse me, Ben will ask you, how much food is there in the army now?"

The quartermaster quickly reported: "Back to the general, the army ** has 25 stones, 2 buckets and 7 liters of white flour, 11 stones, 5 buckets and 3 liters of rice, and 312 stones of soybeans. 532 stones of corn and more than 600 stones of wheat husk. ”

I don't know if the quartermaster had already prepared, since the white flour and rice were even reported, except for the soybeans that were fed to the war horses, only corn and wheat husk were a little looser, and the strong men in the army ate a lot of food, let them eat, and the daily consumption of grain for 2,000 people was at least 30 stone. As far as white flour and rice are concerned, they add up to enough food for a day in the army.

Fortunately, Yang Tian doesn't care about the current food stock in the army, as long as he has money, he can't buy anything: "Tomorrow, all the white noodles will be made into steamed buns, and the rice will also be cooked, so that the soldiers can eat well and eat well." ”

"Yes, little one." The quartermaster was not surprised by Yang Tian's order, everyone heard what he said on the school ground, and Yang Tian would definitely not break his promise on the first day.

"Hmph, let's see what you're going to do tomorrow?" The quartermaster was not without malice.

Waiting for the quartermaster to go out, Yang Tiancai said to Yang Shi and Yang Miao: "Tomorrow you go to Chang'an, first purchase rice and white flour for 500 stone each, and buy more vegetables and meat." ”

"Childe." Yang Miao's face was full of displeasure, and he was about to object, Li Gang hurriedly coughed a few times, and Yang Miao changed his title: "General, why don't you give it to the quartermaster just now to buy it?" ”

Yang Tian glared at him: "Although the procurement of these things is a trivial matter, it is related to whether I can establish credibility in front of the soldiers, how can such an important matter be handed over to a quartermaster who does not understand." ”

Don't look at the honest appearance of the quartermaster just now, there is no doubt that the quartermaster must be Shi Wansui's cronies, if it is handed over to him to procure, with Shi Wansui's attitude towards Yang Tian, maybe there will be chaos.

Yang Miao became happy: "Yes, I promise to complete the task." ”

The next day, after the whole army finished the drill, just returned to the barracks, suddenly smelled a smell of white-flour steamed buns, everyone was overjoyed, poured into the canteen, the canteen has been set up like a mountain of steamed buns, and there is fragrant porridge in the big iron pot next to it.

The soldiers began to line up to receive the meal without washing it, many people were greedily smelling the aroma of rice wafting in the air, and some soldiers who had received steamed buns had tears in their eyes, they had not eaten such a meal for almost a year.

Shi Wansui also gulped down the white-flour steamed buns in his hand, which were originally only enjoyed by officers above the deputy of the team, but now they were all eaten by the soldiers in one day, Shi Wansui thought maliciously: "Eat, eat, wait until tomorrow when you eat corn again to know the general's reputation."

Note 1: In the Sui and Tang dynasties, one stone was equivalent to one hundred and twenty catties.

Note 2: The word "long live" was not originally used to address the emperor, but was mostly used during celebrations. From the Warring States period to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the word "long live" frequently appeared in people's mouths, such as: Feng Yuan made his own claim, "because of the burning of its coupons, the people called long live, Lin Xiang is like the wall of Fenghe Qin," play the king of Qin, the king of Qin is happy, passed to show the beauty and left and right, the left and right are called long live, the earliest use of long live as the emperor's title, began in the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu, after the Han Dynasty through the five Hu Chaohua, the word long live is not strict, at that time the people in order to make their children live long, take long live as the name, not only long live the history, but also long live Li, long live Diao, etc., until Wu Zetianhou. She casually changed the yuan many times like flipping through the ledger, claiming to be "long live the book of heaven", and the use of long live is really strict, if ordinary people dare to casually call themselves long live, it is a capital crime.
