Delicious! Delicious!

When Zhao Hongyu took Li Xiang and them to the water division's station, it happened to be time for lunch.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu asked Li Xiang and them to taste it too, and see what kind of food the imperial sailors ate. At the same time, he also showed them the food standards in the Imperial Army, so that they could open their eyes.

Sauerkraut and pork stewed vermicelli, beans and beef stewed potatoes, and enough rice to eat, all of which made Li Xiang and them stunned.

Compared with the food in the army on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the food of the soldiers on the side of the empire is simply too luxurious.

Even the food standard in the imperial army was incomparable to many small landlords in the Ming Dynasty.

God, even if the Song Empire is so rich, it can't be so rich. How much money does this get every day, isn't it still like flowing water to use up the silver?

Although they thought so in their hearts, Li Xiang and the others also joined the team and lined up to receive food according to the rules.

The big guys all took the food and tasted it...... Well, it's delicious!

Food like this is not available in this era.

In particular, the cooks in the Imperial Army used all kinds of spices that seemed expensive in this era, and there were even condiments that were not available in this era.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Xiang and they think it is delicious.

Although they had eaten breakfast, everyone still had some place in their stomachs after encountering this delicacy.

"Your Highness, I have to say that the food in the army is really good. The soldiers in the army on the side of the Ming Dynasty couldn't eat such food. ”

After eating his own military lunch, Li Xiang put down the rice bowl in his hand, and then looked at Zhao Hongyu with a serious face and said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, the standard of food in our army is actually not very good. They eat this monotonous food every day, and I'd like to give them a different diet if I could. It's just because this is in the army, different from the outside restaurant or something. So it's not good to let the cooks go too far, so they didn't do it. ”

I'm going to go!

Isn't this kind of food good?

After Li Xiang listened to Zhao Hongyu's words, she was completely messy and speechless to the extreme.

Not to mention the appetizing sauerkraut, at least the genuine pork belly slices in it made Li Xiang stunned. On the side of the Ming Dynasty, how many people can eat pork belly every day?

Basically, ninety percent of the people in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to eat pork belly every day.

Even if some talents raise people with a little money, they don't eat it every day.

Not to mention the beef stew with potatoes and beans, this is simply extravagant to the point of being extravagant.

Look at what the soldiers in the army on the side of the Ming Dynasty eat, two meals a day, and it is very good to have two nest leaders at each meal.

A lot of the time. Those officials were greedy for silver, and they hung the soldiers with one meal a day, and they couldn't die anyway, but they couldn't be full.

Because their food expenses were all deducted by Shangguan.

Therefore, one meal a day is already an eye-opener.

It's like there are those black-hearted guys who don't even give food to the soldiers, so they let them find food for themselves.

If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers of the Song Empire ate this standard, it is estimated that they will be able to go crazy.

"Your Highness. Our Da Song is really rich. I can't imagine that the food in the army is so good, we really can't imagine it. Li Xiang licked her dry mouth, and said this sentence in the end.

Zhao Hongyu smiled and said, "It's true that the empire is rich. After all, our Great Song Dynasty controlled all the trade from the Americas to Europe, and even the big cannibals came to trade with us. With so much silver, is it not necessary to keep it? So use part of it in the army. Nothing remarkable. ”

European?

Li Xiang: This is the first time I've heard of it.

"Oh, that's what you call the Southern Barbarians or the Franc Machine." , Zhao Hongyu saw that Li Xiang was a little puzzled. I explained.

Rich!

The Song Empire was rich!

It can even be said that there is money to the point of flowing oil!

This is what Li Xiang felt from Zhao Hongyu.

Since the empire has money and is willing to use it in the army, what else can he Li Xiang say.

Besides, look at these good guys who eat well and are physically strong. Li Xiang has no reason to say that this is not good, after all, these people will be his subordinates in the future.

If there are all such elite young men in the sailors in the future, plus those extremely elite warships, Zheng Zhilong will have nothing to fear.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment, and then thought about it.

"Let's go, walk around the army with me." After the group had lunch in the army, Zhao Hongyu began to take them around the naval division's station.

In fact, this is mainly to let Li Xiang and them have an understanding of some things in the Imperial Water Division. When the time comes, their eyes will be black, and they won't know anything.

"The property and military affairs in the Imperial Army are separated, and there are people who take care of government affairs. The main purpose of this is not to distract the military commanders, so that they can devote all their minds to military affairs. ”

Along the way, Zhao Hongyu took Li Xiang and them around several departments, and at the same time patiently explained to them.

Yes, in the army of the Empire, whether it is a naval army or an army, it is basically such a framework.

Those in charge of military affairs are in charge of military affairs, and those who are in charge of military property are in charge of property, and at the same time, civilian personnel are also assigned to military commanders to handle some military documents and official documents.

Instead of thinking about the Ming Dynasty, everything was managed by the military.

In doing so, it made the highest commander in the army a lot easier.

Of course, the purpose of this is also to limit the power of the military governors, so that they will not have the possibility of rebellion.

Zhao Hongyu also absorbed the modern military advantages of another time and space, that is, a lot of power was delegated to the hands of low-level officers, and the principal and deputy officers were matched, as well as fifth-level soldiers and sergeant majors.

Layer by layer, if they have ambitions as the highest military commanders, they can't actually control the entire team. At most, the only people they can grasp are their cronies.

So. Zhao Hongyu's structure also avoids some trouble to a large extent.

Zhao Hongyu's gaze was far away, because the empire was not a country composed of a single race, but there were many races in the Americas.

And after the people of these races merged into the Song Empire, many young people have begun to be absorbed into the army, or the grassroots departments of the government to do things.

With the development of time, God knows whether any of these people will rise to a high position in the future.

In order to prevent some problems that may occur, Zhao Hongyu must make some arrangements in advance.

At the same time, as the territory of the empire expanded. There will definitely be some people who will come to you at that time. For example, Li Xiang and the British handyman of the Mayflower at the earliest time are not examples.

Li Xiang is not stupid!

He followed Zhao Hongyu around, and after learning about those departments, he turned around in his heart and saw that such a military structure would avoid any problems.

It's good that the chief officers are indeed relaxed, but their rights have also been invisibly weakened a lot.

It's just that you can't see it on the surface.

But if you want to be like the Ming Dynasty, as a military commander can control everyone under his command, it is impossible.

It is worthy of being the legacy of the Song Kingdom, restricting the generals. There's really a set.

In Li Xiang's mind, he suddenly thought of the story of the Zhao Song Dynasty's release of military power with a cup of wine in history.

Yes, the most powerful thing in the Zhao and Song dynasties is not to restrict the power of martial artists and soldiers.

Seemingly. Even when they went to the Americas, the tradition was preserved.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know that Li Xiang thought crookedly, and actually thought of this thing in history.

However, even if he knew it, he wouldn't explain anything.

And what about Li Xiang. He just smiled helplessly in his heart, in fact, he had no ambition now.

At the same time, he can now understand one thing, that is, he wants to take charge of the army on Zhao Song's side. Then they all accept this set of others.

If you don't accept ...... Fools know what the outcome of the road will be.

Now that he is desperate, people can take him in and already look up to him.

It is impossible for him to be ignorant of current affairs.

And the crown prince of the family shows that he values him very much from the inside out, and he is also entrusted with important tasks. He has to be worthy of others, so he can't have any more ideas.

"Well, yes, such a military structure can indeed make it a lot easier for the officers. I don't think I will have to worry about many things in the future, as long as I focus on training sailors to surround the sea frontier. ”

Li Xiang followed Zhao Hongyu's words.

In fact, Li Xiang's words also told Zhao Hongyu from the side that he was very satisfied with the structure of the army. At the same time, there was no dissatisfaction, and he told Zhao Hongyu that he had no ambitions.

After listening to Li Xiang's words, Zhao Hongyu also felt the sound outside the strings, so the smile on his face became even brighter.

"The benefits of being the chief officer are still good, but if I don't tell you now, you will know the Tao in the future." , Zhao Hongyu pretended to be mysterious and made a little joke with Li Xiang.

In fact, Li Xiang didn't know about this.

Even the soldiers at the bottom of the Imperial Army were able to enjoy such a good situation and receive such a high salary. As an officer in the army, I think it will definitely be better for welfare.

"Oh, that's the case, my subordinates are waiting for this surprise."

However, cooperation still has to be cooperated, and Li Xiang is not a fool.

And Li Xiang's nephew and the Li Xiang guards who came with him were stupid and didn't hear anything, but they just felt that His Royal Highness had a good conversation with his uncle (boss), and they were also happy...... (To be continued......)
