4138 millet porridge and pickled cabbage
Taiyuan Mansion is in the northwest direction of Bianjing, and there is not much overlap with the marching route of the Jinbing East Route Army.
The Western Route Army led by Wanyan Zonghan was still competing with the defenders of Taiyuan Mansion and had not yet moved south.
As a result, there were very few war disasters along the way.
The atmosphere around the towns is quite peaceful and peaceful.
Li He and others traveled all the way through the mountains and rivers, rode horses and galloped, and enjoyed the customs of various state capitals along the way.
Although it is dusty, it also has a different taste.
The state government along the road learned that this was from Bianjing, and went north to rescue the soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan Mansion, and ordered people to go out of the city to greet them, and after confirming their identities, they were invited into the city to hold a banquet to reward the soldiers.
It has been more than 110 days since he came to this world, and Li He is well aware of the habits of soldiers in the current era.
Not wantonly looting is already considered a strict military discipline.
If you want them to become a celestial army that does not take any of the people, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve it for a while.
In view of this, he did not prevent the soldiers from receiving money and goods too much.
On the one hand, this is a voluntary gift from the officials of the state capital.
On the other hand, I also feel that these money and goods are deserved by the soldiers.
If the soldiers who defend their homes and countries should not take the money, then who should take it?
The waste that sits in the house of the temple and talks about it?
Or are those dead soldiers who don't report, don't pay compensation, don't recruit just to leave a place to eat empty wages?
Originally, Li He was still a little worried about continuous combat, and the soldiers' military exploits were only recorded and not honored, which was easy to cause adverse reactions.
Now I feel more at ease, and the "reward" along the way can more or less make up for it.
Just wait for Taiyuan to go back and talk about merit and reward one by one, and it will be perfect.
But then again, make up for it.
A team of 100 people is too much to walk and become more than 500 people!
The extra ones are all all kinds of logistics and transportation personnel sent by the state capitals to see that the soldiers are taking too many things.
Yes, people.
All kinds of people who carry bags and carry carts.
The reason why Li He did not return to Bianjing after the Eastern Route Army and went straight to Taiyuan was to fight a blitzkrieg lightly and quickly reap a large number of results.
It's good now, it's a shame to travel lightly, and you have to take care of the "birth, old age, sickness and death" of the people along the way.
In these years, most of the coolies are fighting for their lives, not to mention the frail and sick, and from time to time there will be an accident such as fainting and shock, which disturbs the reincarnation people unspeakably.
Wu Liulang and some other team leaders persuaded the immortal family not to care about those who fell halfway, saying that they would naturally get up and continue walking or turning back after sleeping for a while.
But as a modern person, how can he be so easy to fool, sudden fainting or shock, if he doesn't get it right, he won't lose his life.
had the intention of dismissing all these people and driving them back, but found that after hearing the news, they kept kowtowing to the "fairy family", begging bitterly not to drive them back.
Later, Li He learned from the soldiers that if these people were returned, it would be ineffective and would disgrace the state officials.
The light ones may just be beaten and scolded and the money will be deducted, and the heavy ones may be directly punished and executed.
To drive them away is to send them to death.
Several reincarnators tried to collect all kinds of money with their belts.
After trying it, I found that there are a lot of different kinds of items, and if you use a belt to collect them, you will have to spend at least 100 points.
Spending so much money to be a transporter in the mission world is a bit of a luxury.
They can't even take it back to the real world and sell it as antiques.
Not even the most valuable Tongbao or porcelain.
Contemporary objects would be hell if they were brought back to the modern era and not be targeted.
The appraiser will say, everything is right, it's too new.
The other jewels were too complicated, and the diamond crown that Li He brought back before was enough for a headache.
It's not as easy as exchanging cash.
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a better way, so I had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, there were enough horses harvested from the golden soldiers, and some help in transportation was also a solution to some of the problems.
To transport materials on war horses, if you want to let the doctors in Bianjing know, I am afraid that you will have to shock a batch of them.
It's just that after that, Li He no longer dared to casually enter the state capital to receive the "hospitality" of the officials.
Try to pick up the trail, and when you are hungry and tired, go to some less well-informed towns to rest.
It's a lot less troublesome.
Until this day, the team settled in a small county town called Tongba.
It was almost noon, Li He led the soldiers to have lunch in a spacious restaurant, while Lin Kai took the others to make a barbecue outside the city with great interest.
It's so greasy to eat at noon, I don't know if it's going to be nauseous.
Li He silently vomited in his heart, shook his head and ate the pickled cabbage provided by the root store for free, and drank the porridge made of millet that he brought.
The store's face turned blue.
If it weren't for the generous efforts of the other people in his company, he would have been kicked out of the store long ago.
Holding a chicken leg in his left hand, a wine bowl in his right hand, and a bite of the fatty and tender roasted mutton in his mouth, Wu Liulang, who has always been bold, asked Li He curiously: "Immortal family, why are other immortal families not taboo meat and vegetarian food, but I only see you eating corn every day?" ”
Li He took a leisurely sip of millet porridge and exclaimed: "How good the millet is, it is delicious and nourishing to the stomach." ”
The bold Bao Tianwu Rokuro took a sip of wine and said disgustedly: "No one eats corn, it's really embarrassing for the fairy family." ”
Li He didn't mind, but asked strangely: "Yes, why doesn't anyone want such good food?" So much for only a few pennies, I bought a few stones at once, and I couldn't eat them all. ”
This question is too profound, and Wu Liulang can't say it, so he can only chew the chicken thigh and say vaguely: "It's probably not delicious." ”
Li He looked at the shiny half of his face, nodded in agreement: "It's definitely not delicious compared to meat." ”
Since seeing that Lin Kai, Ye An and others have also practiced internal strength, Li He said that it is impossible not to care.
Maybe it was because he swept 72 peaks and calmed his heart at the beginning, even if he was in a hurry, he didn't show it.
It's just that I have developed a light taste of drinking porridge and eating vegetables, and occasionally I eat meat, but I still eat some salted duck eggs and other foods, and I really live like a fairy.
The two talked and laughed, and there was no He Guan to cut off the head of the bold Bao Tianwu Liulang, he spoke a lot more neatly, and told a lot of rumors in the market, which also made Li He listen to it very happily.
Liu Xiaoyi on the side is different.
It was very quiet, just silently finished the meal he ordered, and then took out the gun and slowly wiped it with a cloth as Lin Kai taught.
At this time, a small group of people came in from outside the restaurant, about five or six.
Leaning on the counter of the store and shaking his hands, he looked around at the people in the store, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
The shopkeeper stepped out of the counter and gave the leader a heavy bag.
The leader shook it, opened the bag and looked inside, frowning unhappily.
Li He, who was close, heard him say, "That's it? ”
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "There is a war over there, there are many fewer caravans, and there are no guests to eat." ”
The leader slammed the counter: "So many people eat and I'm blind!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "They just came, and there was really no one for a long time before, so it was hard to wait for so many guests to make up for the losses of these days, and they couldn't pay them all!" Everyone, please be considerate and leave a way to live. ”
"Okay, I haven't been hard for a few days." The leader sneered: "Alive? I don't think you want to live anymore. ”
He lifted up and kicked the shopkeeper in the abdomen, causing the shopkeeper to bend over and hug his belly and retreat repeatedly, and finally fell to the ground and rolled in a half-circle.
Coincidentally, it landed at Li He's feet.
Li He picked up the stool and moved it to the side, and continued to eat.
The leader didn't stop after kicking down the shopkeeper, waving his hand for others to rush up and continue kicking.
He stepped forward and stood aside and hummed and said, "If you dare to live with me, I'll see how tough you are." ”
After a few more kicks, the shopkeeper was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he couldn't breathe.
A little girl in her teenage years rushed out of the inner hall and threw herself on the store and cried.
The leader pulled the little girl over and looked at her for a moment and smiled.
Drag her up and hold her in your arms and rub it.
The shopkeeper, who had not moved, suddenly struggled violently and slammed into the leader.
was grabbed by others and pushed to the ground and kicked hard.
In the process, he finally touched the table of Li He and a few people, spilled the wine, and shook the dishes.
Li He's eyes were quick, he picked up his millet porridge and the pickled cabbage that the store gave him for free, turned his head and said to the leader not far away: "Go far away, don't affect our meal." ”
