"That's right, it's pickles made with cabbage!" Li Xiu never expected to mention it, this little official actually admitted it shamelessly, and with a natural expression, it seems that it is not a big deal to do this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Nonsense! It is clearly written in the account book that it is cabbage and sea salt, but you tell me that there are only pickles, and if the army asks me for the cabbage in the account book, will you still be able to turn the pickles into cabbage? Li Xiu couldn't help but angrily reprimand when he heard this, this is the army, and in his mind, it should be the most rigorous place, but it is unforgivable to make such a mistake!

"This ......" Seeing Li Xiu angry, this little official was also startled, as if he didn't expect Li Xiu to have such a big reaction, but then he explained with a look of grievance, "Guogong is angry, although there is cabbage in the account book, but even if the army wants cabbage, we can also send the pickles, because this is already a common practice in the army!" ”

"Routine? What do you mean? Li Xiu asked with a calm face when he heard this.

"Guogong doesn't know, because fresh vegetables are not easy to preserve, and they are afraid of pressing and touching when transporting, and they are easy to rot and deteriorate when they are piled together, so the vegetables transported to the army in the rear are generally mixed with sea salt to make pickles, and there is also meat, and the transportation of live livestock is even more troublesome, and it can't be preserved for too long after slaughtering, so it is also made into bacon or bacon, which are unwritten rules in the army." The clerk explained again.

"Pickles are pickles, and salted meat is salted meat, so why don't you indicate it in the account books?" Although what the other party said had some truth, Li Xiu was still very annoyed and said, after all, this kind of thing can be big or small, especially the strict military law, and if it is not done well, it may even lead to death.

Seeing Li Xiu making such a big fuss, the little official didn't dare to speak again this time, but Li Xiu also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be blamed entirely on this little official, after all, the account book was not something he could change at all, so Li Xiu immediately took the account book to Xu Jingzong and Cen Wenwen, planning to question them how to deal with this matter?

When Li Xiu found Xu Jingzong and Cen Wenwen, the two were discussing in the Governor's Mansion, and when they saw Li Xiu walking in angrily, they immediately asked in surprise: "Guogong, what's wrong?" ”

"You can see for yourselves, the account book clearly says cabbage and sea salt, but when you get to the warehouse, it becomes pickles, you don't know these things, right?" Li Xiu threw the account book in front of the two of them and said, all the materials in and out need to go through the hands of Xu Jingzong and the two of them, and the account book is also written by them, so this matter must have nothing to do with them.

Hearing that Li Xiu was angry because of this incident, Xu Jingzong and Cen Wenwen glanced at each other, and then said with a helpless smile: "I don't know, in fact, the reason why this happened is not that we are cheating, but that we are forced to be helpless, and even the generals in the army are very much in favor of us doing this." ”

"How is it possible, would those generals rather eat pickles than fresh vegetables?" Li Xiu asked rhetorically when he heard Xu Jingzong's explanation but didn't believe it at all.

"I don't know, the diet in the army is very strict, such as the daily consumption of meat and vegetables are quantitative, but the meat and vegetables are not easy to store, and it is troublesome to transport, the front and rear in accordance with the regulations of the army to send vegetables and meat, but after delivery, most of them have rotted and deteriorated, and can not be eaten at all, in contrast, pickles and salted meat are not as delicious as fresh, but they are better than rotten vegetables and stinky meat!" At this time, Cen Wenwen also patiently explained that they also wanted to write clearly in the account books, but the regulations above were very strict, and vegetables and meat had to go through the inventory above, so they could only write according to the above regulations.

Hearing that there was such a thing, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, he knew that the food consumption standards in the army were all set by the imperial court, and they had no power to change them, but some regulations were really unrealistic, so these so-called common practices appeared, which were actually the unspoken rules underneath.

"This kind of thing is not big, it is not small, you are going to explain the disadvantages of this situation, and hand it over in my name, so as not to have this kind of problem in the future!" Li Xiu thought about it for a while and commanded, he didn't know it before, but now that he has encountered it, he naturally can't ignore it.

Hearing that Li Xiu was going to take care of this matter, Xu Jingzong and Cen Wenwen were shocked, and hurriedly agreed, in fact, they also hated this kind of thing, but there was no way, now Li Xiu is willing to write to the court, he will definitely get His Majesty's attention, and there will be no need to do so many tricks in the future.

On the seventh day of Li Xiu's arrival in Shuozhou, Li Jing and his party finally arrived here, and then immediately summoned Zhang Gongjin and others to discuss the military in the military camp outside the city, Li Xiu was in charge of logistics, and naturally participated in this pre-war meeting, but there was almost no communication between their father and son after meeting, at most, Li Jing asked about logistics, Li Xiu also answered truthfully, and finally Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin discussed for a long time, and finally decided to officially go north to the Turks three days later.

After the meeting, Li Xiu wanted to leave immediately, but he didn't want to be stopped by the red whisk girl who had been waiting for a long time, and then pulled him to the tent where he lived and said: "Xiu'er, I have worked hard for you this time, I didn't expect that our mother and son would have to fight side by side one day." ”

"Mother said with a smile, the child just stayed in the rear to dispatch the quartermasters, where can it be compared with the mother, but the risk on the battlefield is too great, mother, you have to be careful!" Li Xiu also replied with a smile at this time, he still has a lot of respect for the Red Whisk Girl, but Li Jing doesn't have any feelings between them anyway.

"Hehe, I won't rush into battle like your father and them, at most, I will help him manage some chores in the barracks, and there is no danger, but this expedition is very important, and your father has worked hard for this matter during this time, and even his hair is much grayer." The Red Whisk Girl spoke again at this time, and Li Jing was mentioned both inside and outside the words, apparently trying to bridge the rift between Li Xiu and their father and son.

However, Li Xiu didn't answer when he heard this, after all, there was no room for relaxation between him and Li Jing, and of course he couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of the red whisk girl, so he could only be silent.

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't answer, the Red Whisk Girl couldn't help but sigh lightly at this time, and then she thought of one more thing, and finally said after hesitating for a moment: "Xiu'er, I know you hate your father, but there is something related to him I still want to hear your opinion, after all, this is a major matter related to the life and death of our Li family!" ”
