"All of them have - open rice!"

"I'm moving!"

After singing a song in praise of Qianxin sauce, which is similar to the pre-dinner prayer of a certain Nanban Sect, these soldiers of the "People's Liberation Army," who were already very organized and disciplined, began to devour food into their mouths.

The shouting just now used up the last of their strength, perhaps to cover up the conspiracy that the food in the cafeteria was actually just an ordinary big pot of rice with a lot of oil and water, and it was not delicious at all.

- At least Izumo Akuni, who saw those soldiers eating so deliciously, put a green vegetable that looked bland with chopsticks into his mouth in anticipation, and immediately changed his face and developed a feeling of "being deceived".

Well...... When people are very hungry, no matter what they eat, they are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it seems that Ah Guo's problem is still light.

However, Kenshin-chan, Aya Gozen, the mixed-race female ninja Haru, the black long straight Lori Naoe, and Chu Xuan all ate this meal seriously and seriously, which was actually not delicious at all, only the glamorous female version of Maeda Keiji had a bitter face, and poured the meal into his stomach with his eyes closed as if he was taking medicine.

"Huh? There is even meat oil and meat, and civilians are not forbidden to eat meat? ”

Just now, out of politeness, Ah Guo, who didn't take a closer look at this seemingly ordinary meal, only ate one bite, and then made a new discovery.

She looked into the distance a little, and found that the ordinary soldiers at the other tables were also happily stuffing large slices of fat into their mouths, making sure that the food of these ordinary soldiers was indeed the same as that of Kenshin-chan and the others.

At first, she thought that she would not be able to eat oil flowers if she "experienced" the food of ordinary soldiers at noon today.

"Who stipulates this?"

After Chu Xuan quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, he put down his chopsticks and asked Ah Guo lightly.

"Huh? It's ......"

Ah Guoleng, who didn't expect Chu Xuan to ask this, paused for a moment, and then quickly began to search his knowledge base, but even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out who stipulated this "taken for granted" rule.

- I don't know who made it, but everyone has been following it...... Or maybe it's the distinction of identity.

Maybe this is a Buddhist "precept" from the Celestial Empire? But the monks themselves still drink wine, eat meat, and have children; So is it the Nanban Sect? However, those southern barbarians seem to not only eat meat, but also like to drink blood, and eat half-cooked meat or even raw meat.

- At least as a shrine maiden, Ah Guo knows that the gods have never issued an oracle forbidding civilians to eat meat.

Even shrine maidens are allowed to eat meat except during the ritual of fasting.

Then it is probably a secular general, in order to ensure an adequate food supply, the civilian population is forbidden to eat meat.

After all, the amount of meat produced is too low compared to the amount of food that one person can produce, and there are too many people to feed in this small country.

When food was scarce, the general even ordered a ban on alcohol, not only for commoners, but also for nobles, but of course there were still some nobles who would secretly use grain to make wine.

Because those nobles simply have too much food to eat, and if they are stored for too long, they will naturally spoil, so why not use it to make wine?

Although the rice overflowing the granary was collected from the yellow-skinned peasants...... No, it's the life-saving rations that were snatched over, but how can the noble adults care about the life and death of those "untouchables"?

"Moreover, they are no longer civilians.

They are soldiers, fighters who are ready to give their hearts to the cause of the liberation of mankind. ”

Chu Xuan, who is a good teacher, did not give Ah Guo a "popular science" this time, but just said a few words lightly, then picked up the chopsticks again and continued to eat quietly and quickly.

(Is it no longer a civilian...... ）

Ah Guo didn't ask any more questions, but nodded thoughtfully, and then also focused on the undelicious meal.

If this wasn't the "luxurious" lunch that Chu Xuan had arranged in advance to show her, then the treatment of the "People's Liberation Army" in Echigo would be too high, and they could even eat rice and dishes with plenty of oil and water in non-war times, as well as meat that civilians were forbidden to eat and were not willing to eat at all.

Looking at the seats in this cafeteria, a long table can seat ten people, which happens to be a fixed team, and the tables in the canteen are arranged in three rows, one row is thirty people, and ten rows of three hundred people...... A total of 500 soldiers dined here.

"Mr. Chu Xuan, may I ask if there is some special thing about Echigo today?"

Finally, Ah Guo asked tactfully, but she didn't want to question Chu Xuan for cheating in front of her, but planned to persuade Chu Xuan a few words-if these ordinary soldiers usually ate so well.

"No, it should be a normal day."

Chu Xuan replied expressionlessly, and at the same time looked at Qianxinjiang and the others, but these locals also shook their heads blankly, not knowing what was special today.

Although there are many festivals in Echigo, there is no activity today at any time, whether it is nearby Shinbata Castle and Tochio Castle, or Honjo Castle and Harumayama Castle farther away.

Speaking of festivals, the Hotaru Shrine in nearby Tochio Castle held the Hotaru Festival two and a half months ago, and the Hotaru Shrine is a traditional Taoist god with a male surname, "Beep-", which is said to be the guardian of agricultural harvests and the prosperity of future generations.

At the time of the Hotaru Festival, a giant beep statue of the god of Hotaru is brought out and placed on the shrine with a wooden sculpture that is more than two meters tall and weighs 600 kilograms, and then a few brides who have been married for less than a year are selected to sit across the giant beep, and many men carry the shrine around the shrine.

The brides who sit on it can enjoy the pleasure of shame, while other participants in the festival can stretch out their hands to the giant "beep-" to pray for the possession of the spirit, for a good harvest, many children and grandchildren, good marriage between men and women, safe and smooth birth, prosperous business, and good health of the family.

However, this is only a small god of Echigo, so there is no need to expect how good it is.

"That...... If it's not something special, could it be that these soldiers really eat so much every day? ”

Although Ah Guo had already decided in her heart that this was probably the case, she still asked in disbelief.

"Of course, they train a lot every day and they have to be nourished.

It can be said that these soldiers were trained according to the standards of the Hachimoto samurai, but the training they received was much more severe than that of the Hachimoto samurai, and the physical consumption was naturally much greater, and it was not enough to eat fish.

Moreover, they will not all be left behind in the end, and after this training, only the best 300 people will be able to become the glorious 'People's Liberation Army'.

The rest of the people had to be trained with the second group of recruits for the last chance to join the army, and those who still couldn't pass the pass were assigned to Agano Castle or other places to maintain law and order. ”

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and replied ruthlessly.

This year, that is, during Chu Xuan's mission period, he only planned to train these three hundred professional soldiers plus two hundred reserves, and he could only wait for the next time he returned to this world.

"Flag, Flag Samurai?

Three hundred, that's a lot of money! ”

Ah Guo's eyes widened, he gently covered his mouth and sighed, and then asked euphemistically in confusion:

"But they're all men......"

In this world where generals can ride a thousand, ordinary soldiers and even ordinary flag warriors can't escape the fate of being "cut grass", but girls who serve as flag warriors and receive strict training are more likely to become military generals who awaken to "peerless".

The Flag Samurai is equivalent to the youth academy of the football club, the club will invest part of the funds to cultivate more potential young players, as long as there is a Messi and Ronaldo among ten or a hundred people, it will be released, and it will not lose money to cultivate a group of professional players with sufficient ability, as for the remaining players who have not played out, they can only let them find another way to make a living.

But in any case, these youth players are considered to have the potential to become professional players and even superstars, and Chu Xuan spent a lot of money to train a large number of male surnamed Qiben samurai who are destined to be impossible to awaken the "unequaled", which is undoubtedly equivalent to the men's football club cultivating a group of female football players.

No...... These samurai with the male surname Banner are not as good as the female soccer players, at least the female soccer players may still have the needs of the women's football team, and these male samurai with the surname Banner have no value at all.

"Compared with the generals who are only limited to female surnames, the number of ordinary people is much larger, and at the level of ordinary people, the physical fitness of male surnames is better than that of female surnames.

Moreover, it is much faster to train a thousand qualified warriors with the male surname Qiben than to train ten awakened "unequaled" generals.

It will probably not be long before the Takeda clan will come to invade Echigo, and perhaps even encourage the Echichu clan to act together, but what we lack at this time is time. ”

Chu Xuan replied very calmly, Qian Xinjiang and the others seemed to have heard about this inference from him a long time ago, so they all continued to eat the unpalatable big pot of rice very calmly, only Ah Guo was slightly surprised.

"But...... Even if there are a thousand banner warriors, they may not be able to resist a general? ”

Ah Guo said with some concern, seeing Echigo's thriving appearance, she really didn't want anyone to destroy this place that was moving towards the ideal "Taoyuan Township".

"No problem, just three hundred people are enough."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and replied very confidently.

With those "secret weapons" he made, these 300 professional soldiers could completely turn into 300 Spartan red trousers in the Warring States period. (To be continued.) )
