Xu Jiao got into the special carriage and set off to her fiefdom, Zhong Xiangcheng.

On the day that the princess's party left the city, the lord of the kingdom followed her and sent her out of the city.

"Good boy, if you really have a bad time, come back, father doesn't blame you, don't hold on." The lord of Yuehua still had red eyes, and he forcibly held back his tears from falling.

This is the daughter he has put on the tip of his heart for more than ten years.

Xu Jiao stretched out her hand to hug the gentle emperor and said, "Father, don't be sad, don't you know my character, if I don't have a good time, I will definitely run back all of a sudden." ”

The princess and the lord parted ways, and the ministers and the guard of honor waited in silence behind them.

Scholar Mei also came, and before he set out, he specially ordered two large boxes of books he had prepared for the princess.

Now that he has to part with this student who has been giving him a headache, he can't help but feel a little sad, and his tone is much softer.

When the lord of the country finished talking to Xu Jiao, Scholar Mei came forward: "You...... When you arrive in the fiefdom, you have to study hard, and don't go crazy. ”

Mr. Mei wanted to say something warm, but who knew that the mouth still became like this, or said the most annoying words of this student on weekdays.

Xu Jiao looked at the old man in front of him, his temples were already frosty, although he was strict, he had been teaching her very seriously and patiently, and each of the books sent to her was patiently marked with notes.

Xu Jiao looked at him and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, teacher, I will listen to your senior disciple's class well, and I will write to you, don't miss me too much." ”

Mr. Mei wanted to say that he wouldn't miss her, but he felt that he couldn't say it, so he waved her hand and let her go.

Xu Jiao's team is a bit long, and the servants she brought from the palace have hundreds of people, plus those officials, craftsmen from the craftsman's house, and her own things are loaded with dozens of carts, plus two thousand elite soldiers escorted.

It takes ten days to travel, and it should take half a month to walk, but fortunately, she is not in a hurry.

There is a post station on the official road, Xu Jiao doesn't need to sleep in the open, but the post station can't fit so many people, only Xu Jiao and those officials live in, and the craftsmen and elite soldiers camp outside the post station.

After a day's journey, the team stopped at a post station when it was dark.

The post station only carefully prepared delicacies for Xu Jiao and the servants and officials around her, and there were no soldiers and craftsmen outside, so they could only eat their own dry food.

The post station usually relies on weekly supplies, and it is true that it can't take out anything to give to more than 2,000 people outside.

The soldiers brought their own cooking utensils, and the craftsmen were not as well prepared as they were, and they helped the soldiers to set up many tents, and the soldiers invited them to use the cooking utensils together.

Dry food is a hard multigrain cake, just add water and boil it to soften.

Xu Jiao saw that they were tired for a day and could only eat these things, so she was naturally not very satisfied.

There are five of her luggage carts that are actually filled with Northeast rice, and she has a reward of 100,000 tons of Northeast rice, and now she only takes out 10,000 catties, that is, five tons, and fills these five cars.

She walked near the car, took back the rice in one of the cars, and went to the mall to exchange for 2,000 catties of delicious cured meat for twenty mission points.

Xu Jiao came to the camp where the soldiers were encamped, and the soldiers were preparing to make a fire. Seeing that the princess was here, Lin Haihai, the leading captain of the Yue cavalry, came to worship and asked, "Why is the princess here, this place is chaotic, and now the soldiers have to make a fire to eat." ”

This is a steady middle-aged man, and the lord of Yuehua also trusts him very much on weekdays, so he sent him to protect his daughter.

Along the way, Lin Hai didn't talk much, but he arranged the convoy in an orderly manner, and he specially arranged the journey, ensuring that the princess could arrive at the post station to rest before dark.

"I see that the soldiers are working hard, why do they eat these things?" Xu Jiao asked.

"The princess doesn't know, there is about half a month on the way, and other things are not easy to preserve, only this cake, hard and light, durable."

Xu Jiao nodded, and when she turned her head to look, she happened to see Ding Rong and his party smiling and saluting her.

Ding Rong and the others have already dealt with the princess a lot, and they are not very restrained now.

"Come here." Xu Jiao beckoned.

A dozen or so craftsmen at once trotted over, not knowing what the princess was looking for them.

Xu Jiao pointed to the two cars in the convoy, which were loaded with cured meat and rice.

"Go and bring the two carts, and take out the contents of them, and divide them equally among the soldiers, and you will also take some to eat."

The craftsmen immediately went and harnessed the two carts, which were tightly covered with cloth, and they did not know what they contained.

Lin Hai looked at the two cars curiously, and lifted the cloth under Xu Jiao's eyes, revealing the contents inside.

It turned out to be white rice and salted meat with a shiny smell of meat.

The eyes of all the soldiers were straight, including Lin Hai.

Such good rice can only be eaten by princes and nobles, and officials can only eat inferior rice. If the official position is not high, the family eats coarse grains mixed with fine grains on weekdays. Although Qianyue City is rich, and the people can eat fine grain and white flour several times a year, they still mainly eat coarse grains on weekdays.

The food in the barracks is coarse grain, and the travel is all multigrain cakes, and there are no wars in Yuehua Country, so the military household department does not give much, and it is already a good thing to be full.

"Then it's troublesome for the captain to give everyone a point, only when you are full can you have the strength to work, these things are divided equally and what everyone gets is not heavy."

Of course, Lin Hai will not be too heavy, he also feels sorry for his soldiers, now that he is traveling with the princess, he has the opportunity to eat good and improved food, of course he will not refuse.

"Divide into twenty teams, and the captain of each team will come out to receive the food for the team members."

A hundred people is for a squad, and a squad has ten detachments. Hearing the captain's order, the squad leaders came to receive the supplies one after another, one person could not take 100 catties of rice and 100 catties of cured meat, and the rest of the squad leaders also came up to help move back to the camp tent where the fire was lit.

Zhang Huojiao is an ordinary soldier, the reason why he is called this name is because when his mother was pregnant, his father gritted his teeth and bought her a fire with meat to eat, and his mother remembered the taste until he was born, so she named him Huoyao.

When the army was recruited, he was the only one in the village who was selected. Because it is a conscription in the national capital, there are many people who want to go, and the requirements are particularly high. His physique was the strongest in the village, and everyone said it was because his mother ate meat when she was pregnant with him.

He has been a soldier for a year, he has never eaten meat, and once in a big competition, their team won the first place, and everyone got a bowl of broth. There was only meat in the broth, no meat, but he was satisfied.

The thing was too heavy, and the captain called him to help carry it with another person, and his physique was considered strong out of a hundred people.

Holding the pile of cured meat that was taller than him, he could smell the aroma of meat through the grease, and his stomach couldn't help but start drumming.

The princess said that she would divide it equally, so each soldier was given a pound of rice and a pound of meat, and the people at the post station sent several cartloads of vegetables, all grown by the nearby residents, and they sent people to buy them.

Zhang Huo boiled a large bowl of rice, cut off several pieces of marinated meat, and boiled a pot of fragrant broth, with a lot of vegetables, and he put it in the broth to cook together, which also became very tempting.

Tonight, the soldiers were all overwhelmed, and in their dreams they were still holding on to the leftover rice and cured meat, and kept smashing their mouths.
