Chapter 418, Preferential Treatment

"Bold, do you know who you're stopping?"

With a roar on the ground, it is really "a roar, and the wind and fire break through Kyushu"!

But when I looked at it, I found that it was the handlebar type of the car that was driving-1

Ning Caichen frowned and said, "This military commander is also serious about carrying out military orders, and he is not at fault. ”

If it weren't for the Xixia people here, Ning Caichen would have roared earlier.

I don't know if I'm deliberately delaying time, what can you do, what kind of mess are you making? And you're so tough!

This is probably the driver of the big official!

Huh? Crossing into this world, it seems that we are also mixed with the driver.

Ning Caichen was thinking about it, but the soldiers guarding the door were so excited that their faces were swollen red.

Yes, he is Lord Ning Caichen, Lord Ning! No one else will speak for us. The grown-ups had their eyes on the top of their heads.

Looking at us, we all feel that our eyes are dirty, how can they speak for us, only a star in the sky like Lord Ning has such a broad mind, and will treat all beings as equal.

Just look at the book written by Master Ning, "The great man of the country is for the country and the people", and he has written a lot! Only people who really look up to our martial arts can say such things, and they can say such things.

Ning Caichen didn't know that just one sentence made the two soldiers become his hypocrites.

Although this is derived from the style of the Chinese people who believe in everything, it is indeed in this Great Song Dynasty that the civil officials bullied the warriors too hard.

This faith power was not lost, but went to the afterworld. Wutian has damaged the Houtu world too hard, and it will take a long way to completely restore it to a normal world.

It is only the condensation of the law that can be compensated for by merit.

There is a certain number of what kind of laws a world needs to maintain and how many laws it needs to be stable.

However, the arrival of faith is like a catalyst that can accelerate the evolution of the world. Because faith itself has a strong belief in it, and it has a sense of the world.

It's just that Ning Caichen, the kingdom of God who stumbled by mistake, to be honest, is a little unworthy of the identity of Hou Tu Niang.

Thinking that after that, Tu Niang Niang did not leave the underworld, and she was equivalent to the existence of a saint. The saints opened up their own heavenly realm in the chaos, and then Tu Niang Niang mixed up a world that was picked up after destruction, and no one had ever sacrificed it.

It's a bit indebted.

However, he can't ask too much of Ning Caichen, anyway, he also got a divine kingdom for a dead god's mansion. Moreover, this kingdom of God is still evolving, and the future may not necessarily be as strong as the heavenly realm of saints.

After a while, the noise in the camp became louder and louder, and a man was faintly heard shouting in a loud voice: "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

Someone shouted, and naturally someone came out to watch.

The officers of the Great Song Dynasty were no better than small soldiers, they could leave the army and go to the city for a while, they had this condition and this financial resources.

The officers could enter the city, so they naturally recognized Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen's book sales in Bianjing were so sensational that even believers appeared, how could they not recognize this civil official who had been speaking for their martial artists.

"Lord Ning, why are you here?" Not only did they know Ning Caichen, but they were also fans of Ning Caichen. Although there is no such name in this era, they are.

Because they are fans, they know that Ning Caichen is on vacation for a while. Seeing Ning Caichen appear here, they were naturally surprised.

When the Tangut people saw that the generals with the rank of colonel and general had come out of the barracks, they immediately spoke: "We are the envoys of the Tangut Dynasty, and we are here to visit our captured sergeants. ”

"The Tangut people!" The Song generals did not have a good impression of them, not to mention that they had fought each other on the battlefield for so long, and more importantly, the Tangut people had no faith. ...,

While negotiating peace, they continued to sneak attack, which was the specialty of the Tangut people.

Whoever has fought with the Tangut people, which one is not a blood feud. This was mainly due to the fact that the Tanguts did not leave prisoners.

The captives captured by the Tangut people will be sold to the Liao people and the steppe people, and they will be slaves and maids. A life of bitter wind and rain.

The Song people may be doing well in their own country, but they are not so popular with other people. Especially on the grassland, the status of Song slaves was not even as good as cattle and sheep.

Not only is it not eaten fruitfully, but once it dies, it is often made into minced meat and becomes fodder for war horses.

The cultivation civilization uses beans and eggs as a nutritional supplement for war horses, while the steppe civilization does not have beans and eggs, and they directly serve the meat.

The Song people who were sold to them often did not live to be thirty.

Just like Master Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", why arrange for Guo Jing's father to die, is so that Guo's mother can raise Guo Jing to grow up. Women on the prairie are always more likely to live than men.

The grassland people don't like Han men, but they like Han women, and are even willing to help these women. Even if there is an inter-tribal war, it will not kill the woman.

It is precisely because of the characteristics of the grassland people that the Northern Song army and the Western Xia people are really a blood feud.

Every time the Tangut people sold a Song captive, they offended more than two Song people at the same time. Brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, no one jumped out of the stone.

This is also the reason why once there are Western Xia captives, the Song court will quickly send them to Bianjing.

Nominally, they were sacrificed to the imperial city, but in fact, they were afraid that they would kill people directly.

Killing prisoners is ominous, and the Song court is extremely taboo about this.

Hearing that it was the Tangut people who came to see the captives, the Song generals immediately believed it.

The Song fought with the Western Xia with more victories and fewer defeats, so they were often able to receive a lot of Western Xia captives. And once the Western Xia captives came, it often meant that the Western Xia envoys had arrived.

Now that Ning Caichen is following, they naturally don't suspect it: "You guys come in, right?"

So easy to get in?

Ning Caichen was shocked and dissatisfied.

Even if you don't need any warrants to let us go back to get the decree, you should at least search your body, right?

Ning Caichen didn't know that the Tangut people were already frequent visitors here. The Song generals are no longer surprised.

But what if you know? Can you still say, "Don't give face! Let us go back and ask for a decree!"

Entering the camp tent, the barracks was preparing for dinner.

The prisoners were made separately from the Song army.

On one side is white flour steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables in meat oil, and on the other side is old rice with rice, bean sprouts and pickles.

"How can you eat so badly? This doesn't treat us like people!" Xixia was very angry, as if he had done something angry and resentful.

Ning Caichen's crumbs.

This is a captive! It is even more ancient! It would be nice to have bean sprouts and pickles, what else do you want?

Ning Caichen tasted the bean sprouts.

Good guys! No salt.

Taste the pickles again.

The one who makes pickles is the one who runs the salt farm.

Identification completed.

Well-salty and light matching.

Yes, worthy of being a Song person, there is really a humane spirit. Everything was taken into account. Some people have a light taste, so they know bean sprouts, and some people have a strong taste, so they eat old pickles.

The general who brought them in said, "What else do you want? ”

"That's good! This food is good!" Ning Caichen naturally helped his family.

Don't say that there is something dry, even if it is all thin, he will also say that it is good.

Don't forget, they are captives, just starve to death, and it's already too merciful not to let them work in exchange for food.

But the Tangut envoy said: "But we are Tangut people, we are meat-eaters, and we are not Song people who eat vegetables!"

Porphyry-

Ning Caichen directly spit out the pickles in his mouth (he was also going to vomit, it was too salty, he just came with the Xixia people, it was not good to do this, just take this opportunity): "What? Eat meat? You are crazy! Do you want us to offer you up!"

The Chinese people are so easy to bully? Oh, after losing the battle, they still want to eat meat, and I will eat your pig's intestine! How many people in this world can eat meat?

This is ancient times, a pig for three or five years, only more than 100 catties of ancient times. It's not the afterlife of the moon and the moon.

It is the kind of pig in later generations that will cost more than 300 catties for two or three months, and it can be slaughtered, and there are also people who can't afford to eat meat.

Seeing Ning Caichen's reaction so big, the Western Xia envoy was a little strange, as if Ning Caichen shouldn't have reacted so much. "What's wrong with Lord Ning? We Xixia people eat roasted whole sheep on the grassland. The Great Song Dynasty arranged some meat for the Heavenly Empire, shouldn't it?"

Ning Caichen smiled, he was angry.

"Erxi Xia ends the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan in the south, and the desert in the north, covering an area of more than 20,000 miles. More than two-thirds of the country is desert terrain, and the water source is mainly groundwater formed by the Yellow River and snowwater from the mountains. There are only a million people, and you even tell me that you eat whole roasted lamb? Are you a fool to me, or are you a fool yourself?"

"This?" the Tangut was speechless.

How did he know? How did he know so much about the situation in our Western Xia? Didn't the Song people know nothing about the outside world except themselves?

Ning Caichen said that they had nothing to say, and General Song was naturally extremely happy: "Sure enough, it was Lord Ning, and they had nothing to say in one sentence." ”

It wasn't that Ning Caichen blocked them with nothing to say, but they let Ning Caichen suppress it.

What did the Song people want to do when they knew so much about Western Xia? Could they still continue to invade Western Xia? Yes, it must be so. This news must be transmitted back to China as soon as possible.

The mentality of the Chinese nation itself being content with the status quo and the heavenly kingdom makes them rarely understand other countries. Moreover, in this era, information is not advocated, what does an official of another country want to do when he understands his own national strength so well?

They had just lost a game, so naturally they were all soldiers. What's more, Ning Caichen is not making things up.

In their opinion, all the intellectuals around the emperor knew about it, not to mention the emperor himself.

How did they know that Zhao Ji himself didn't know about Western Xia at all. As for Ning Caichen, the great god of Du Niang in later generations, it is not difficult to know the military establishment of Western Xia.

As a slave country, Ning Caichen swept the history of Western Xia in his last life.

As he progressed faster and faster on humanity, there were some things that he couldn't forget.

"Then my lord, can we go and see our people?" The Xixia people didn't dare to delay any longer, they just wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible and fly to the country immediately.

They scared Ning Caichen, really.

went to see the Western Xia captives, Ning Caichen didn't see the grassland wind blowing, the black faces, all white and fat, eating very well.

Just looking at their appearance, you know that the Great Song Dynasty did not torture the prisoners.

At this time, the food is delivered by its own catering class, one for each person, no more, no less. A plate of stir-fried vegetables in meat oil and three large steamed buns.

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Ning Caichen stopped the people who were serving the food, and angrily pointed at the Western Xia captives sitting in rows. There was a fury in his chest, like an active volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

They didn't understand why Ning Caichen was angry, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Lord forgive me!"

This is the way for the little people to protect themselves, although they don't know what they have done wrong, but it is always good to make mistakes.

Ning Caichen held back his anger, he knew that the more angry he was, the more scared they became, and then he couldn't ask anything. ...,

Restraining his anger, Ning Caichen asked as kindly as possible, "Why do Western Xia captives eat like this?"

He has the power to be angry. Perhaps in modern times, people don't think it's any good to cook vegetables in meat oil.

But this is antiquity. In ancient times, there was never enough to eat.

In the case of Ning Caichen, who had just crossed, let alone eating meat oil, if he really had that meat oil to eat, how could he go to hunt beasts, and how could two people eat an egg.

Although the Song Dynasty was rich, there were still poor people, and there were still nearly tens of millions of people, and a meal dressed with meat oil was their Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

Ning Caichen is poor, he knows.

But Ning Caichen asked wrong. Ning Caichen is a traverser, so he naturally thinks that their food is too good, but people in this era don't think so.

O kingdom of heaven!

For the sake of his own face, the ruler will care how poor the millions of people are. They only know that we are the Heavenly Empire, so naturally we have to take care of foreigners.

Even if it is a foreigner's flea, it must be fed white and fat. In this way, "we" have more face in the world.

The kings thought so, and even more so the sourmen below. Anyway, if you don't spend their money and food, you can still get a reputation for "benevolence and righteousness", why not?

Ning Caichen was a Confucian student, there is no doubt about it.

Hearing Ning Caichen ask about the food, they immediately replied: "Lord Hui, I really can't buy meat recently, so I ......"

"Who asked you this? I'm asking why they eat steamed buns instead of rice?"

The cook breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Hui! This Xixia people are northerners, northerners like pasta, and southerners eat rice." They can't eat rice. ”

His answer made Ning Caichen even more angry: "Can't eat rice? What are you? Are they VIPs? They are captives! They still eat barley? Why don't you buy it?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"What is it?"

"Go buy barley. ”

Ning Caichen almost made him angry: "No need! From now on, all the captives will have porridge and pickles! He ***, he eats better than when Lao Tzu was poor before!"

The generals were originally in a daze, but Ning Caichen's foul words of "he***" instantly brought the relationship between them closer.

's favorability towards Ning Caichen is rising straight up, almost bursting the charts.

What did the literati scold them as soldiers, wasn't it just vulgar language? Ning Caichen burst into foul language, and not only did they not feel vulgar, but on the contrary, they felt cordial.

When the relationship is close, it is natural to talk about it deeply.

"Lord Ning, isn't it miserable to only eat porridge?"

Ning Caichen looked at the military general who opened his mouth, white and tender, no wonder Marco Polo would say in the book that the city gate officials of the Song Dynasty ate better than the kings of Europe, and the roots were here!

The people of Bianjing are really "too rich"!

"How miserable is it! If you don't die of hunger. Lao Tzu used to be much worse than them, and he couldn't eat enough for three days. ”

Although Ning Caichen was training people, he was an old man, but he did not make the generals feel disgusted.

How difficult it is to make a civilian official speak violently, they, the soldiers of Bianjing, know it very well. Ning Caichen is rude, they will never think that Ning Caichen is a person who likes to be rude. The champion, the people around His Majesty, the world's celebrities......

How can such a person be a person who likes to be rude?

The more Ning Caichen is like this, the closer they are to Ning Caichen.

"Lord Ning, we are worried about the ...... of the official family"

"I'll talk about it when the official family has it. Change, change now. Stir-fry vegetables in meat oil and give them pickles. I'm just here watching. Ning Caichen said loudly.

It's really too hot, what are the Tangut people?

Although the writers of history were all sympathetic to them, this could not hide the essence of the Tangut people. ...,

foreign captivity, human trafficking, and slave ownership.

In the early Song Dynasty alone, the Western Xia people plundered the Han land, captive tens of thousands of people, cattle and sheep.

This is their essence, that is, now the Western Xia nobility also has a large number of Han Chinese slaves.

If it weren't for the existence of these Han people, Ning Caichen would never agree to release them. The Tangut people are like rat-tailed boar skins, sparsely populated, killing one less one.

Now we even let our own people eat vegetables without oil and water, but it is so good for the group of prisoners.

Ning Caichen was not a great politician or military strategist, and he couldn't see how great the strategic significance of being so good to the group of prisoners was.

In addition to allowing foreigners to verbally praise you, they should hit you or beat you.

Ning Caichen insisted on doing so, and the generals had to give in. Although Ning Caichen is not their top boss, Ning Caichen is a civil official, and he is also a knowledgeable official, and he is a close minister of the official family, which is enough.

Seeing the generals nodding, the cook immediately said, "Lord Ning, the little one will send someone to buy rice." ”

"What kind of rice to buy?"

"But my lord, there is not enough rice in the treasury to feed more than 20,000 captives. ”

"It's stupid! Didn't our people divide three more steamed buns? They will definitely not be able to eat them all, so add some water to the leftover rice and steamed buns, and boil them. ”

Is that okay?

The chef is in a dilemma.

This is the image of the Great Song Dynasty.

It has not been a year or two since they received Western Xia captives, but we are the Heavenly Empire, rich in materials, rich in land and resources, in order to best express this, we have also killed pigs and sheep, but we have never had such a shivering person.
