Chapter Ninety-One: Love is Deep and Meaningful
Chapter 91 is deeply affectionate
Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiaoxiao, marched for more than ten days, and the soldiers arrived at Longde Mansion, which was less than 500 miles away from the destination of their trip, Taiyuan, and the journey had already passed halfway. "Longde Mansion governs Shangdang, that is, Changzhi City in later generations, which is surrounded by Taihang Mountain and Taiyue Mountain, constituting a plateau terrain, commonly known as Qinlu Plateau, also known as Shangdang Basin, because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, blocking the cold current from the northwest, at this time it is warmer than it, it is also one of the three prefectures of Hedong Road, and Zhao Ta is also regarded as his own territory when he arrives here.
The continuous march, but also people are sleepy and tired, although there are states and counties along the way to supply food, but the dish has to be prepared by themselves, they are camping in the evening, into the city to purchase what to buy, think about now at this point into the supermarket, are also discounted, how can there be any fresh good things, and what vegetables can there be in that era, except for cabbage is radish, not even potatoes!
Longde is a big house, the products are naturally rich, the variety is more, the service facilities are complete, and the materials can also be supplemented, so that everyone can fight the tooth sacrifice, also wash clothes, haircut bubble bath, or there will be lice on the body, and after walking such a long way, the horseshoe should also be repaired, and the car wheel has to be oiled!
When the boss arrived, the prefect of Longde naturally did not dare to say that the prince refused to leave the city, and as soon as the army arrived, the city gate was opened to greet and welcome the group into the city. Zhao Ta didn't want to enter the city, so many people crowded into the city to disturb the people at one time; The second is that there are too many secrets in his team, and after entering the city, there are many people talking about leaks. But seeing such a warm scene, it was a little difficult to resist, and besides, the prefect was thoughtful, so many people couldn't stay at the inn, so he divided the two battalions of the state army into one place, vacated the camp in Dongcheng, and let them station, where the food and forage for the people to eat and chew had already been prepared, and the residence was cleaned. The prefect also vacated his own mansion to prepare as the prince's residence, and invited the prince to stay, but Zhao Ta politely refused because of the inconvenience, and the prefect did not insist, and accompanied the prince to talk for a while and then left.
After camping, Zhao Ta took advantage of the time to wait for dinner, convened a meeting of officers above the capital level, arranged vacations, and stipulated discipline: the officers and soldiers on duty in the battalion must not be less than two-thirds, and they must go out in a group as a unit, led by the gang commander, and must not disperse their actions; Prostitutes are not allowed to enter gambling halls in the city, they are only allowed to eat or drink alcohol in restaurants, and 'flower butterflies' are only allowed to look at and not touch; they must be fair in their dealings, they must not be forced to buy and sell, they must not rely on their pro-military status, cause trouble, pick quarrels and provoke trouble... These things have been memorized, written, and sung in his previous life, and there is no need to make a draft at all, it is the Song Dynasty version of the 'Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions' adapted by him!
After Zhao Ta finished speaking, he signaled Zhao Ren to arrange a vacation and arrange the order of duty, and after he finished speaking, the dinner horn sounded, and everyone walked for a day and their stomachs were 'growling'.
"Second master, you are a true spirit, no one is waiting to speak now!" Seeing that he liked to see a group of people leave in a hurry, he said with a smile.
"Hmph, as soon as they pout their butts, I will know what kind of shit they are going to pull, and if they don't fix it quickly, it will become a problem one day!" Zhao Ta put on a look of daring to fight and want you to look good, these days, in order to coordinate actions and facilitate the grasp of the situation of the troops, Zhao Ta will convene a small meeting of cadres and cadres every day after dinner. Generally speaking, he finished speaking, and the senator had to say two sentences, and it was Zhao Ren's turn to finish speaking, and he had nothing new, mostly repeating the requirements of the prince, and then the commanders of each battalion and the captains of the directly subordinate teams spoke separately and emphasized the requirements of the prince again.
Zhao Ta saw that the situation was a little bad, and at this time, everyone was impatient, eager to try, rubbing his hands, swallowing saliva and licking his lips, ready to take turns to speak, he knew that it was not good, these boys had not learned anything else as officials, and they had to wait until midnight to learn from this meeting, and they said it again, they had to wait until midnight. Zhao Ta asked them to make a long story short, if there is something to say, there is nothing to do, but these boys really don't know what Lu Dao's surname is once they are in power, and they can't stop the car as soon as they speak! In view of this, Zhao Ta changed the time to before the meal, if you are willing to go hungry, I will accompany you, but no one has asked him to eat with him until now! …,
The next day, the prefect of Longde sent people to labor the army, sent a batch of pigs and mutton to eat, melons, fruits and vegetables, and the camp also sent people to purchase largely, Zhao Ta ordered to allow non-rotating officers and soldiers to drink two taels, although they could not drink bitterly, but it was good to relieve their hunger, in fact, everyone could drink some wine every day, but that was to prevent the water in the kettle from being frozen and added a little wine, only the taste was not strong. At the command, the camp was suddenly jubilant, and the smell of meat in each camp was mouth-watering.
Zhao Ta doesn't need to ask where he lives, it must be the house of the former state military superintendent, with an independent courtyard, a hall and a hall, and a small garden, it seems that this kid is very nourishing. Today's improvement of life, everyone coincidentally gathered in the prince's house, everyone knows the problem of the prince, don't look at the fact that he usually eats a pot of rice with everyone, but as long as there is a chance, he must open a small stove for himself, so Zhao Ren, Zhao Yong and others came to rub the rice in the name of helping!
"Okay, okay, today you are the master, wait for the food to be served, don't help, it's really more and more helping, this kitchen can't even turn around!" Zhao Tan was busy in the kitchen, his hands and feet didn't stop, and he couldn't stop complaining, "Zhao Yong, if you don't listen to it, no matter how much you blow the fire, you will set the roof on fire!" Seeing that the firewood was about to fill the stove, Zhao Yong was puffing out his cheeks and holding the blowtorch to blow hard, Zhao Ta kicked him in annoyance.
"Second master, didn't you say that this meat should be fried over a strong fire? I did what you said! Zhao Yong put down the blowtorch and wiped his mouth.
"You still learn to pout, the pot is red, can this dish still be called stir-fried mutton, it has become roast mutton!" While teaching him a lesson, Zhao Ta did not forget to stir-fry with a big spoon, and kept complaining, "Can this still be called a small stove, there are more than ten of you here, and a dish has become a pot of vegetables!" ”
"Second master, aren't we afraid that you will be lonely, and I usually don't have time to talk to you, everyone is free today, just to accompany you to chat, this is called... It's called deepening feelings, right? Zhao Li said while peeling the green onion.
"Isn't it, the prince has been gone for more than a year, and he hasn't stayed for two days when he returned to Xiangyi, it's difficult to say a word to you, we all miss you!" Zhao Zhong stretched his neck and looked at the dishes in the pot and said with a smile.
"Get out, Harazi has fallen into the pot, I finally got something delicious, and I also attracted a group of wolves, I'm afraid that one sheep is not enough for you to eat!" Zhao Ta twisted his face and scolded with a smile.
"Second master, I'm afraid that you won't be enough, I'll bring you a sheep, this is a lamb under a year old and has not yet become a parent, and the meat is the most tender!" At this time, the door was pushed open again, and Zhao Zhi came in carrying a sheep and said.
"Okay, you kid still have a conscience, knowing that Dao Ye has a lot of meat and less meat, these white-eyed wolves have a mouth!" Zhao Ta nodded and said with great relief.
"Second master, why do you just praise him, not us, we also have a share of this mutton money!" Zhao Yi and Zhao Yi then followed in and said.
"If you can't finish eating, there will be us!" At this time, Zhao Ren led Gao Chong and Xiao Yu to squeeze into the not very large kitchen, which was really overcrowded now, and it was difficult to turn around!
"You really don't want to be poor, I'm not reconciled!" Zhao Yan sighed and said, "Zhao Xin, you go and find some work for them, you can't eat for nothing, you are all crowded here to watch me do it alone." ”
"Yes, Zhao Ren, you go to chop wood, Zhao Zhi, you pick the sheep, Zhao Li, you cut vegetables, Zhao Shi, you go and set the table, Zhao Yi divides the wine, and the high commander and Xiao Commander make you cloth the dishes and chopsticks, set up the stools, and get busy!" Zhao Xinyi waved his hand and instructed several generals, "Sangou, with their help today, I will take your vacation and rest for a day!" He looked at the three dogs who were standing on the side and couldn't intervene and said again.
"Okay, Chief Guard!" Sangou saw that he was really in the way of staying here, and said with a smile, "What is this called, the prince is in charge, a group of commanders are doing chores, and they are being turned around by a guard, and they are still happy, and it is rumored that it will go..." …,
"Sangou, what are you talking about?" Erwa, who was standing guard outside, grabbed him and asked.
"Oh, Erwa, you said that they are also commanders in size, so that outsiders will not laugh at us..."
"You came late, rare and strange, they used to be the little guys around the second master, since the second master was six or seven years old, he has been with him, known as the master servant, in fact, he is closer than his own brothers, you look at Captain Zhao of the law enforcement team, where have I seen him smile at ordinary times, and now he is as happy as a flower... You should also know the temper of the second master, what to do when training, it is not bad at all, but you can play with him in the next time, and you won't be annoyed if you play tricks on him! "Erwa taught her former good partner as a passerby.
"Oh, that's how it was!" Sangou scratched his scalp and said, "Brother Erwa, you have also been with the prince for a few years, can you compare with them?" I'm quite envious. ”
"I... With Zhao Guard, Zhao Du is of course a little bit worse than the commander! Erwa thought about it, pinched the little finger and said for the rest of the section, but he changed his words and said: "But it is much closer than other brothers, after all, those who can enter the guards are the people that the prince believes in the most, and if you work hard for two more years, you will definitely be able to do it!" ”
"Well, I will!" Sangou nodded vigorously, went back to the house to change his clothes, and followed his brothers to the street!
......
When Zhao Ta was busy, here Zhao Ren and they had already used several long tables to form a big dinner table, laid out the dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses, and the careful Zhao Xin also found a red carpet to spread on it, Zhao Zhong and others brought the dishes made by the prince to the table, a total of twelve dishes, but they were all better than the sheep, red stewed mutton, stewed mutton, stir-fried mutton, roast lamb leg, roasted lamb tail, steamed lamb brain, fried mutton chops... Then there are a few vegetables, vegetables, and fruits, all in small pots, and they fill the table.
"Zhao Yi, how do you enforce the law, first replace the wine bowl with a small cup, and say that two taels of wine per person is two taels, and take a bowl and drink it will be gone!" Zhao Ta held a radish in his hand and said with a 'gaba, gaba' chew in his mouth.
"I said no, you don't believe it, and I will be told it!" Zhao Yi glared at Gao Pet and said.
"I haven't had a drink since I left Beijing, and I thought I could drink more today!" Gao Pet said curtly, got up and put away the wine bowl in front of everyone, and replaced it with a small wine cup!
No matter how much wine is enough, fortunately, the meat tube is enough, the wine has passed three rounds, everyone is a meal of the sea, fortunately Zhao Ta has prepared today, and he has made a lot of portions, and he didn't let them eat at the bottom of the basin, "It's not as good as Xiangyi, at this time, the vegetables in the greenhouse can be picked, and the cucumber takes a bite, and the crisp thinking about it leaves saliva!" Zhao Zhi burped and smacked his lips and said.
"Brother Zhi'er, then you will build two greenhouses for everyone in the northwest, and we will also follow suit!" Zhao Xiao said while gnawing on a piece of sheep bone.
"You just don't get satisfied, thinking that when we just arrived in Xiangyi, the second master invited us to eat stewed mutton in the greenhouse, you forgot everything!" Zhao Ren wiped the oil on his hands and said.
"Hehe, remember, it was the most delicious time I ate in my life, and now I eat meat every day, but it doesn't taste like that time!" Zhao Yong shook his head and said with a smile.
"I still remember eating meat that time, because Zhao Li snatched the last piece of meat, Zhao Xin was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and tears were about to flow out!" Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Xin and said with a smile.
"Hehe, for that piece of meat, Zhao Xin didn't pay attention to me for several days!" Zhao Yan said with a sneer.
"Go aside, my chopsticks picked up the meat that day, and he snatched it alive, can it not make people angry?" Zhao Xin glanced at Zhao Li and said.
"Ha Luha, Brother Yi eats meat the most distinctively, and it is still like that, his eyes are staring at the basin, the chopsticks are non-stop, the meat is just put in his mouth, and he immediately picks up the next piece, and I am afraid that the meat will be swallowed directly into the stomach without chewing!" Zhao Li hurriedly shifted the target and said. …,
"No one is much better, before we get to the house, who of us can eat meat, don't talk about meat at that time, I see a bone and my eyes are green!" Zhao Yi shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, I remember that after the vegetables in the greenhouse were harvested, the second master rewarded each of us with 20 yuan, I just want to follow the prince so that we can have meat to eat every day, money to spend, I will never leave!" Zhao Ren said after drinking a glass of wine.
"Well, since that year, the money in the palace has earned more and more, and we have eaten better and better, and each of us has at least a few thousand yuan in our hands now, who knows that the money we used to sell our bodies was only twenty yuan, which is less than the price of a horse!" Zhao Zhong said with a wry smile.
"Then you have money, and you haven't thought of redeeming yourself?" Xiao Yu was taken aback when she heard this, her family was a middle-class person with land and a house, and she could provide for herself to 'be idle', but it was only a family fortune of 2,000 yuan, and she had to be considered a poor person compared to them.
"Cut, the second master has already returned the deed of sale to us, but none of us want it!" Zhao Zhong said disdainfully.
"The prince treats us as friends, like brothers, that deed of sale is just a piece of paper, but it can make us never forget the kindness of the prince, so that we can always follow him!" Zhao Yi said word by word.
"Hehe, what do you say, I promised you to take you to the northwest to eat mutton every day, but I can't afford to eat so many people, and I want everyone to go with me to the party to rob it, are you willing?" Zhao Ta said with a smile.
"We are willing to follow the prince from afar, never abandon it, and never betray the Lord!" Zhao Ren and the others stood up together and raised their glasses and said.
"We are also willing to follow the prince, crisscross the northwest, and be loyal!" Gao Zhong and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, and also stood up and raised their glasses at the same time!
