In the main hall of the government, four huge fire candles were burning vigorously, illuminating the wide and empty hall as bright as day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the middle of the info is a wooden table, on which a freshly baked, steaming white cut chicken wafts through the aroma.

Ye Shaolong smelled the fragrance as soon as he came in, and he was already grumbling with hunger, so he unceremoniously sat down and tore off a chicken leg and gnawed it.

In the evening, he set off before he had time to have dinner, and was bumped half to death on the road, Ye Shaolong, who was so hungry that he was dizzy, couldn't take care of anything, and just gnawed it first.

After a chicken leg was in his stomach, he had the time to pay attention to the surroundings, and found that Xiao Dashan actually didn't eat it, so he stood aside and stared dryly. Seeing him swallowing his saliva constantly, he obviously wanted to eat.

"Sit down and eat together!" Ye Shaolong didn't think much about it, shouted, and tore off another chicken leg.

"I'm not hungry, Ye Shuai, just eat." Obviously, it was written on his face that he wanted to eat, but Xiao Dashan was stunned and said that he didn't want to.

Ye Shaolong simply put down the chicken leg and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat: "If you are told to eat, you can eat, where is there so much nonsense." When did there be so many rules in the army. ”

At this time, Xiao Dashan didn't dare to postpone it any longer, he smirked twice, sat opposite Ye Shaolong, grabbed the fat chicken and broke it gently, and the fat chicken opened in response.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

Xiao Dashan, who looked ugly, took half a chicken and gnawed it.

Ye Shaolong nodded with satisfaction, grabbed the chicken leg again and chewed it slowly. This will be overly hungry, one chicken leg will already be a little stretched, and the second chicken leg, Ye Shaolong will not dare to eat too fast.

Under Ye Shaolong's signal, Xiao Dashan quickly gnawed the whole chicken. Drinking wine, Ye Shaolong asked very suspiciously: "Dashan, you look like you haven't seen meat for a long time, what the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Dashan's eyes dodged, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Say! Why exactly? Ye Shaolong was anxious for a while, and his tone became much heavier.

"Ye Shuai, not only have I not seen meat for three months, but the five thousand brothers who stayed in Baoding City have not eaten meat for three months." Xiao Dashan, who was forced to be in a hurry, only then did he tell the truth of the matter.

Hearing this, Ye Shaolong was slightly stunned, and only after a moment did he say in a deep voice: "Why is this?" Isn't there a monthly ration in the army? ”

After a pause, Ye Shaolong continued: "If I'm not mistaken, this meat is distributed to the whole army on a regular basis every month, and it stands to reason that you should have it here." ”

A trace of anger flashed in Xiao Dashan's eyes, and at this time, he also let go: "Ye Shuai, that quartermaster detains the meat of our Baoding City." But I didn't give the quartermaster any favor, so he didn't give us meat, and lied that there was a shortage of food. And the rice grain we were given was all old rice, and sometimes it was moldy. ”

"Is there such a thing? Then why don't you report it to me or the Tower, and leave it at the mercy of that quartermaster. Ye Shaolong's eyes turned cold.

Xiao Dashan's head shrank, and he said in a hesitant voice: "I thought it was a trivial matter, and I didn't dare to disturb Ye Shuai, and General Tie has been fighting everywhere recently, so he doesn't have time to care about these things." ”

"Bastard, this is a trifle, is this a? As a general, you do not benefit your men, and let them follow you to drink the northwest wind and eat moldy rice. If the enemy comes to attack the city, how can you let the weak soldiers fight the enemy? ”

Ye Shaolong really wanted to beat Xiao Dashan hard, such a big thing was actually stuffed in his stomach for three months, if he didn't happen to come to meet him, he would have to hide it for a while.

"The subordinates are guilty, please punish Ye Shuai!" Xiao Dashan bounced up from the chair and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Ye Shaolong hated iron and steel, but he was helpless against Xiao Dashan. Obviously, Xiao Dashan, who had just been in a high position, had not yet adapted to the identity in front of him. He still thinks about things from the perspective of his former life as a common man.

When he kills the enemy, he may be extremely brave, but he lacks the big picture. I don't know how to be an official, and I was actually choked by a small quartermaster but didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Dashan was stunned to let 5,000 soldiers starve for three months, this crime can be big or small, Ye Shaolong originally felt that he should be punished severely. But he remembered his old feelings, and for the sake of him being a first-time offender, he thought about it this time.

"This time, you are a first-time offender, and I will not pursue it with you. In three days' time, I want you to settle this matter in a high-profile manner, and the quartermaster can do whatever you want. After the matter was completed, I ordered someone to go to Tianjin City to inform me that if I didn't see you finish it in three days, Ben Shuai would punish you for both crimes and cut off your head without discussion. ”

Ye Shaolong is also in a rut, if he wants Xiao Dashan to change his mind as soon as possible, the only way is to leave things to him to do. In this way, he can have a deep understanding.

But from the side of this matter, it also just confirms Ye Shaolong's previous thoughts, the people are enslaved by the Qing Dynasty, and their feudal ideas and servility have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

If you want to truly save the country and let the people open their minds, this is the foundation of true self-improvement. Rather than driving foreigners or pirates out of the country, it is better to let them inspire the people to become self-contained.

Although in this way, there will be many deaths, injuries, and crimes, but there is no other way to do it. Even a general with 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command can be suppressed by a small quartermaster, but he doesn't know how to resist. will only swallow his anger in a daze, and such a general should not be fine.

Leaving Xiao Dashan to reflect alone in the hall, Ye Shaolong left with his hands behind his back and went back to his room to rest. A person's transformation will certainly not be so fast, but no matter how much you dial it, if you don't know how to reflect, it will be useless.

Early the next morning, when Ye Shaolong got up, he came to the hall and saw Xiao Dashan still kneeling in place and not moving. With a wry smile, he shook his head and stepped forward and asked, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"Ye Shuai, my subordinates have figured it out." Xiao Dashan didn't sleep all night, but he didn't see any tired look, but was in good spirits.

"Oh, come on, what the hell have you figured it out?" Ye Shaolong casually took the morning tea sent by his subordinates and said lightly.

Xiao Dashan said without hesitation: "If you deserve something, you must fight for it at all costs, even if you offend people for it, even your own superiors!" ”

"The children can be taught!"

Ye Shaolong only gave Xiao Dashan this sentence, then put down the teacup and left the mansion, and with the support of a group of guards, he got into the carriage and continued to set off towards Tianjin City.

Xiao Dashan only stood up after Ye Shaolong left, and ordered his subordinates to prepare horses immediately with a dark face. Then he told the deputy general to guard Baoding City, and he himself took more than a dozen personal guards and immediately rushed to Yejiabao.

Within three days, he had to take down the quartermaster and supply the meat of the five thousand defenders of Baoding City. Otherwise, he would be in danger of being beheaded by Ye Shaolong, and Xiao Dashan didn't dare to be careless at all.
