Since Li Yuntian didn't speak, Zhao Yang naturally couldn't suspend the drill and gave orders to the chaotic soldiers there, and the sweat on his forehead rolled down like beads with broken threads.

"Lord Wang, after the drill, please give me instructions." Finally, Zhao Yang finally came to the end of the drill, and after directing the chaotic soldiers on the school field to line up, he bowed to Li Yuntian and prayed.

"Excuse me from giving instructions or anything, and inform the room that this king will have dinner here at noon." Li Yuntian waved his hand to Zhao Yang and said, "Take this king to the barracks to have a look." ”

Zhao Yang originally thought that Li Yuntian was going to be furious about the chaotic drill before, but he never imagined that Li Yuntian didn't mention it, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down in front to lead the way.

"The two lords of the domain, the lower officials have already prepared lunch in the county seat, and now the prince wants to eat here, does the lower official have people bring the food." In the crowd, a tall and thin middle-aged man dressed in a seven-grade official mansion walked quickly in front of Li Yi'an and Yang Ming, who were talking in a low voice, and bowed down and asked.

This tall and thin middle-aged man was Song Song, the magistrate of Dinghai County, who came to ask for instructions because Li Yuntian suddenly wanted to have lunch in Dinghaiwei.

"Nope." Li Yi'an shook his head when he heard this, and after a deep groan, he instructed Song Song, "You immediately arrange it and prepare the ingredients to be transported to the room here, we can't let the prince eat black flour cakes and pickles." ”

"My lord, do you mean that the prince will eat with the soldiers of Dinghaiwei?" Song Song suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard this, but he knew that the food in the guard was simply not for people.

"The prince has always been like this." At this time, Yang Ming waved his hand to Song Song, "Go and do this matter quickly, if the money is not enough, the political envoy will make up for it for you later." ”

"The lord of the clan is serious, entertaining the prince is a matter within the division of Dinghai County, how dare you alarm the political envoy Si Yamen, and the next official will do it." Song Song hurriedly surrendered his hand to Li Yi'an and Yang Ming, hurriedly went down to make arrangements, and mobilized ingredients to urgently transport them to Dinghaiwei's room.

"Brother Li, what do you say King Zhongwu will do with Ding Haiwei?" After Song Song left, Yang Ming frowned and asked Li Yi'an, who was a little unpredictable about Li Yuntian's intentions.

"King Zhongwu's actions have always been unfathomable, we still take care of the affairs at hand, and as for the matter of Dinghaiwei, let Commander Luo deal with it." Li Yi'an pondered for a while and then shook his head at Yang Ming, in fact, the main issue involved in the matter of the Municipal Department is military affairs, and it has little to do with government affairs, so if you are unlucky, it is also the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, and it has little to do with the Political Envoy Division.

Yang Ming thought deeply when he heard this, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, walked side by side with Li Yi'an, and chased after Li Yuntian in front.

When he arrived at the camp in Dinghaiwei, Li Yuntian's brows suddenly furrowed, and what appeared in front of him were rows of old houses, the walls had been mottled due to the erosion of wind and rain, and the window paper on many windows had disappeared.

The barracks of Dinghaiwei were built in the Hongwu period, and they were renovated once in the Yongle period, and they were never repaired since.

"Commander Zhao, if this king is not mistaken, during the Xuande period, the first emperor once allocated funds to each guard to repair the house, and it seems that the house does not want to be repaired." Li Yuntian came to the outside of a row of dormitories, stretched out his hand and patted the exposed wall tiles, and asked Zhao Yang who was following behind him with a frown.

"Lord Wang, because our Wei owed some external accounts at that time, the money was used to pay off the debt." Zhao Yang's face showed an embarrassed look, and he bowed down and replied in a low voice.

Although Emperor Xuande's inner treasury allocated the money for repairing the house, after passing through the hands of the major governors and local capitals, the money in Zhao Yang's hands was less than forty percent, and he could not complete the repair of the house at all.

"You are so bold, this is the silver taels specially allocated by the first emperor from the inner treasury, and you dare to divert it for other purposes?" Li Yuntian had already guessed that the money for repairing the house had been misappropriated, so he said with a sinking face.

"Lord Wang, there is no way to do it, at that time, Wei Li owed a fee for medicinal materials, if the humble position did not make up the money, the medicinal material merchant would not provide medicinal materials." Zhao Yang smiled bitterly and bowed down to answer.

Each local health center is not only in charge of the soldiers in charge of the guard, but also has a military household under its jurisdiction, and has a special medical center, which will be greatly affected if the supply of medicinal materials is cut off.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, although Zhao Yang looked very aggrieved now, he was sure that the money for repairing the house was not all used by Zhao Yang to pay off the debts of the medicinal herb dealer, and he must have embezzled some of it in private.

Although he knew that there was something greasy in this, Li Yuntian didn't plan to investigate the corruption at this time, and then walked into the dormitory by pushing the door.

As soon as he entered the door, a pungent peculiar smell hit his face, so that Li Yuntian couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, this peculiar smell was mixed with foul smell, musty smell, damp smell and some unpleasant smells that could not be said.

The layout of the barracks of the Ming Dynasty is almost the same, they are all long dormitories, there is a row of large bunks against the wall, and then there are a few tables, and along the wall opposite the bunks are some shelves and cabinets used to put personal belongings.

The dormitory that Li Yuntian entered was covered with some tattered and colorful bedding, and many of the peculiar smells came from the bedding, and I don't know how long it had not been washed.

Unlike the Xiaowu Army, all the personal belongings of the guards were brought from home, so no one cared about them even if they were broken and broken.

"Commander Zhao, don't you think the smell here is very pungent?" Li Yuntian looked around the room, then waved his hand and beckoned Zhao Yang, who was standing behind Zheng Liang and the others, and asked with a frown.

"Lord Wang, the house is full of men, so some things are a little more casual." Although Zhao Yang felt that the smell in the room was not good, he didn't dare to cover his mouth and nose like Li Yuntian, Zheng Liang and others, and replied with a smile.

"This king knows that you are in trouble, so this king has made a request, clean the barracks, and wash the bedding and everything, this matter is related to the health of the soldiers, and cannot be ignored."

After listening to Zhao Yang's words, Li Yuntian's brows couldn't help frowning, and he ordered Zhao Yang in a deep voice.

"Obey the order, and do it." Zhao Yang bowed down when he heard this, and agreed in a deep voice.

"Forget it, dispose of the bedding and everything, this king will transfer a batch of military supplies to you from the Longjiang Shipyard." Li Yuntian turned his head to look at the many quilts on the bed next to him, revealing the blackened cotton wool inside, and then changed his mind, and it seemed that these bedding could no longer be washed.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zhao Yang was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian to thank him.

The personal belongings of the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army are distributed free of charge by the Xiaowu Army, and the quality is high, and if Li Yuntian can provide this batch of bedding, it will save Haiwei a lot of expenses.

Because the smell in the room was really bad, Li Yuntian didn't stay long, and then went to check other places under the guidance of Zhao Yang.

As time passed, Li Yuntian's brows furrowed more and more, except for the office of Zhao Yang and other Dinghaiwei officials, the buildings in other places were all dilapidated, and some of them turned out to be crumbling and dilapidated houses, which was really shocking.

As for the stables that were supposed to have a lot of horses, most of them were empty, and according to Zhao Yang's explanation, Dinghaiwei could not afford the cost of raising horses, so he could only streamline them, but even the remaining horses were old and thin, chewing fodder there weakly, and they couldn't charge into battle at all.

Li Yuntian knew very well that Dinghaiwei had not invested much in infrastructure at all, and the money in the guard was embezzled by Zhao Yang and others.

Seeing that Li Yuntian's face was getting more and more ugly, and Zhao Yang's heart was getting higher and higher, who would have thought that Ningbo City Bosi would suddenly be attacked by the Japanese Invaders, let alone that Li Yuntian happened to be patrolling Jiangnan at this time, so he was very depressed at this time, you must know that the situation in the guards all over the world is similar, but he was too unlucky to crash into Li Yuntian's hands.

"Lord Wang, it's time for lunch, do you want to eat first?" When Li Yuntian came out of a warehouse where there were not many things stored with a gloomy face, Li Yi'an greeted him and bowed down to ask for instructions.

"Okay." Hearing this, Li Yuntian glanced around at the officials around him, and said in a deep voice, "You go down to eat first, and then this king will go away." ”

As he spoke, Li Yuntian got up and strode away, which made all the officials at the scene look at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Master Li, you go down first." Seeing this, Zheng Liang, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, opened his mouth and said to Li Yi'an, it was obvious that Li Yuntian didn't want people to follow, especially the people from the Third Division of Zhejiang.

"The subordinate obeys." Li Yi'an didn't dare to slack off, and after bowing his hand to Zheng Liangyi, he led the officials on the scene to lunch.

Zheng Liangze, Qin Kangmin, the secretary of the Nanjing Household Department, Zhang Quan, the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and Fang Youdao, the Nanjing garrison, chased after him and accompanied Li Yuntian to continue his inspection.

"Lord Fantai, what does King Chungmu mean?" Zhao Yang wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, he gave up, after all, Li Yuntian didn't let him lead the way just now, so he asked Li Yi'an worriedly.

"The prince has always eaten with the soldiers when he goes to the barracks." Li Yi'an looked at Zhao Yang quietly when he heard this, "Fortunately, this official has already prepared to bring in a lot of ingredients, otherwise those meals in your room will definitely spoil the prince's appetite." ”

"Thank you, Lord Domain, thank you, and thank you to the people under the Domain." Zhao Yang smiled awkwardly, and thanked Li Yi'an repeatedly, it is an indisputable fact that the food in the health office is poor, and Li Yi'an didn't say that those meals are enough to give him face if they are only fed to the pigs.

After all, the guards belong to the self-sufficient yamen, and it is usually difficult to obtain funds from the imperial court, and they cannot have the opportunity to make oil and water like the local yamen, so the officers of the guards can only target the military households in the guards, not only encroaching on their fields but also enslaving those military households, as for the daily supply in the guards, they naturally follow the minimum standards, as long as they do not starve to death.

This caused the training of the guards to be abandoned and demoralized, many people fled because they could not stand the exploitation and oppression of the commanders, so that the situation of the guard system deteriorated, although the Ming court rectified many times but could not improve, so that after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the conscription system gradually rose, step by step replaced the soldiers of the guard to become the main force of the Ming army.
