Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

One or two hundred catties of fat pigs, slaughtered and thrown into the boiling water, scraped off the pig hair, after picking up, pick up the fattest pork belly, chop it, and then add cabbage, put on the lard that has just been boiled out and the aroma is compelling, far away, the aroma wafts out.

Many soldiers are counting on their fingers, when was the last time they ate dumplings, it seems to be the New Year, but they can't remember whether it was the last year or the last year!

Some greedy soldiers couldn't help it, snatched a handful of grease from the kitchen, ran away, and shared it with others.

Hu Maozhen accompanied Wu Kaijie and them to inspect the camp, looked at the eager appearance of the soldiers, and said with a smile: "These boys are all greedy, I really didn't expect that there are so many fat pigs in Xuzhou, it seems that there is a good life here!" ”

Wu Kaijie said with a smile: "General Hu, the reason why there are so many pig farmers in Xuzhou is also due to our grandfather." After An** went south, the first stop was Xuzhou, where he recruited and trained soldiers, and the grandfather of the country personally formulated the food standards and required meat for the meals, but as a result, all the fat pigs around him were bought, and even many people went to other places to traffic. ”

Li Guodong couldn't help but nodded: "Hey, the Duke of Ji loves soldiers like a son, and he really lives up to his reputation, who is not willing to work hard if he treats soldiers so well!" ”

Zhou Yingjie said: "Actually, there is nothing difficult about it, as far as I know, there is no shortage of military salaries in the four towns of Jiangbei, Shi Kefa has helped you fight for more than two years of salary, if it can really be used to improve the lives of soldiers and build weapons, I dare to say that in the face of the Tartars, at least there is a fighting force!" ”

"This!" Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong glanced at each other, and they both understood this truth. However, it is easier said than done, and the army is exploited at all levels, and everyone wants to take advantage. Even they themselves are no exception, and how much money can be spent on soldiers!

Hu Maozhen was silent for a long time, and could only shake his head with a wry smile: "It's easier to know than to do, Grandpa Guo is really human!" ”

As he was talking, the water was already boiling hot, and a large pot full of dumplings was thrown down, and after a while, dumplings floated up.

A few veterans picked out a few bowls of dumplings. took the initiative to send it to Wu Kaijie and Hu Maozhen.

"My lord, try the craftsmanship of the brothers!"

Wu Kaijie laughed. "Okay, let's eat dumplings together!"

Saying that, Wu Kaijie and Zhou Yingjie both took the big bowl, directly found a wooden pier on the ground, and sat with the soldiers without any image. Li Guodong and Hu Maozhen can only follow. They all sat down.

Wu Kaijie opened his mouth. Bites on the dumplings, and suddenly the juice flows, and the mouth is hot.

"Delicious! You're welcome, everyone, eat while it's hot! ”

The soldiers picked up the big bowls one after another, snoring, and stuffing them into their mouths one by one, all of them eating with oil and sweating all over. One bowl is not enough, another bowl. It's endless, I really don't know how big their stomachs really are!

Wu Kaijie was full after only one bowl, and someone poured him a bowl of dumpling soup.

"My lord, the original soup is turned into the original food, you drink it first!"

Wu Kaijie took it with a smile, then looked at the soldiers who were busy with their work, and said with a smile: "Brothers, do you want to eat dumplings every day!" ”

"Eat every day? Isn't that a landlord? ”

"I'm afraid the landlord won't succeed!" Someone shook his head and said: "The landlord of our village eats meat three times a year, the May Festival, the August Festival, and the New Year, how can you eat it every day, isn't that the emperor!" ”

Looking at the disbelief on the faces of the soldiers, Wu Kaijie smiled and said: "Brothers, the big guy is born and dies, especially when it comes to fighting, he has to work hard, and he doesn't have the strength to eat meat." I have asked Grandpa Guo to treat everyone according to An** to ensure that everyone eats and drinks well! ”

"Thank you, Lord Wu, thank you Grandpa Guo!" The soldiers all showed a look of surprise, this is really a step to the sky, it seems that it is right to follow An**!

"But ......" Wu Kaijie deliberately lengthened his voice, and the soldiers' hearts suddenly hung in the air.

"However, the cost of doing so is too great, and the amount of money is staggering, so it is necessary to send supervisors in the battalions."

"Okay! You can eat meat or anything! The soldier agreed without hesitation, but Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong had a strange look on their faces.

Wu Kaijie ignored them, but continued: "The supervisor should directly take charge of your food expenses to avoid exploitation and waste. And if you eat well, you have to work hard, so you have to supervise the training and the management of the fortifications. In addition, when it is time to fight, they will also look at you, and whoever dares to take a step back will be punished by military law! ”

This is the supervisor, it is clearly the emperor!

Others don't understand, how can Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong not understand, does this mean that An ** wants to swallow them, is Wu Kaijie making a declaration?

They were worried and had the heart to refute, but when they looked at the ordinary soldiers, the big guys all looked hopeful, this was a real improvement in their lives, and who could refuse! Generations of soldiers, everyone is bitter, and finally has a chance to turn over, and no one wants to lose it.

Zhou Yingjie said: "Brothers, in the future, there will be supervisors to pay the military salary, to ensure that the full amount is on time, and it will not be a little worse." Since you let everyone work hard, you can't treat everyone badly! Starting tomorrow, each person will have twenty taels of silver for the time being! ”

Twenty taels? Silver!

Immediately, the pot exploded, and everyone was short of breath, and even the ones in the distance bit open half of the dumplings, and sat still and forgot to swallow them.

Wu Kaijie stood up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, there will be no one missing!" ”

After speaking, he and Zhou Yingjie turned around and said goodbye, leaving only Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong, these two people looked at each other with deep worry in their brows.

Whoever eats will be directed to whom, and with whose money will listen to whom, will this army change the heavens?

The two of them immediately hurried to report to the Xing family, who knew that they had just arrived in front of the Xing family's mansion, only to see more than ten carriages lined up, full of all kinds of goods, and Xing was about to get into the car with his son in his arms!

"Madame, where are you going?"

Xing Shi looked at these two generals, and immediately smiled: "The two generals are naturally going to Kaifeng." Ji Guogong promised to accept my son as a righteous son, our mother and mother are lonely, and there must be a place to settle down! ”

"That. Then you don't have to go to Kaifeng, you and your son stayed in Xuzhou, with us to take care of you, who would dare to despise you. ”

Xing shook his head helplessly: "The Tartars are coming over, and Xuzhou will become a battlefield in a few days, and my son is still young and placed on the front line." I'm really worried. I hope the two generals can understand the difficulties of our mother and mother, and have to leave! ”

A few words suddenly blocked Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong's full stomachs.

After a while, Li Guodong said, "Madam." To tell you the truth, Wu Kaijie and they are ready to swallow our people, you and Xiao Gongzi are here, and they are still the backbone. If you're gone. We don't know what to do! ”

Xing Shi suddenly chuckled: "Two generals, why are you still confused, what is the use of me as a woman with a milk doll?" An ** doesn't start, there is Huang Degong, and even Tartar, who is more promising to follow. Still don't you understand? ”

"Hey!" Hu Maozhen suddenly sighed: "Madame's lesson is to teach, but I'm worried that this is going to be broken one by one!" ”

Xing smiled and waved his hand: "I didn't say that." Let's not think of ourselves too much, you work hard, you will rise in the future, and when my son grows up, I still want you to take care of it, if it starts now, it will really kill yourself! ”

After Xing finished speaking, he bowed down and took his son straight away. Leaving Li Guodong and Hu Maozhen, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but nod.

The upper layer was breached, and the soldiers below were extremely eager, and suddenly Wu Kaijie's plan was carried out, and five hundred veterans were drawn out of An **, and in the name of the supervisor, they entered the army.

The work was as smooth as they imagined, but the next work was not easy, they had already heard that the Tartar striker had arrived in Jining, and they could kill Xuzhou within five days.

Now the burden on the tip is to do everything possible to renovate the city's defenses and improve the defense system. Xuzhou has been an important military town since ancient times, with the north and south to rush, the city is high and the pond is deep, and the defense system is very complete. However, there is also a problem, that is, it is old, and it is often affected by floods, and no one knows if the city wall has hidden dangers!

Zhou Yingjie personally took people around Xuzhou, and the most important thing to check was their defense area in Xicheng.

"The main city is not a big problem, the most troublesome thing is the closed city, the city wall is damaged. And due to disrepair, the wells inside are broken, and it is not suitable for long-term perseverance! ”

"What are you doing in a daze, go fix it!"

"Old Wu, don't just talk about it, the soldier has to be familiar with the fire gun now, communicate with the supervisor, be familiar with the tactics, and can't spare too much time!"

When Wu Kaijie heard this, he jumped up and said with a smile: "Tell me earlier, leave this matter to me!" ”

Wu Kaijie immediately rushed out, this guy directly asked people to set up more than a dozen cauldrons outside Xicheng, half of which was boiled with broth and half of which was steamed rice.

He personally took a rice spoon and knocked on the edge of the pot.

"Old and young masters, folks who come and go from the south to the north, have you not eaten? Is there anyone who can't walk? Would you like to taste the rice and drink a bowl of broth? ”

Listening to him shouting like this, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially after the Tartars went south, 6 people fled from Shandong and other places, and they were hungry for several days. Hearing that there was a place to eat, these people all blew up the pot, and they rushed up in a swarm, and even drowned Wu Kaijie.

The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and finally stopped them, Wu Kaijie jumped on the top of the pot and shouted loudly: "You all listen to me, if you want to eat, you have to sweat first." Listen to my orders, pick up a shovel and pickaxe, and immediately follow the work, whoever works hard, not only has food, but also a hanging! ”

Many people have stood still, not knowing whether it is true or not, don't lie to us!

At this time, a young beggar trembled and stretched out his little black hand and grabbed a shovel that was taller than him. Wu Kaijie suddenly walked in front of him in a few steps, still holding a bowl of hot broth in his hand.

"Let's drink it first!"

The little beggar stretched out his hand to take it, and suddenly the whole audience went crazy, and everyone rushed up.

"Sir, you can say it, let's do whatever we want!" (To be continued......)
