Auxiliary Princess.

Wei Jinzhong was fishing by the pond at the moment, when a Xuanjia warrior walked in and said, "General Qiyu, Lord Zhan's letter has arrived!" ”

Wei Jinzhong closed his eyes, waved his hand, and the Xuanjia warrior understood, unfolded the letter and read: "General Qiqi, Sheng Guo'er of Ping'an Township has developed a military ration that meets the requirements, and his subordinates have tried it personally, and it has miraculous results. Zhan Yuzhao respectfully! ”

Wei Jinzhong opened his eyes and said, "Who is Sheng Guo'er?" ”

The Xuanjia warrior shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know. ”

Wei Jinzhong threw away the fishing rod and said, "Waste, do you still need me to do this thing?" ”

The Xuanjia warrior hurriedly knelt down and said, "My subordinates are not doing well, please punish the general!" ”

"Xuanwu, immediately call someone to check the details of this Sheng Guo'er, the matter of military rations cannot be easily entrusted to others, in addition, ask Zhan Yuzhao to bring me the military rations developed by Sheng Guo'er, I want to see if there are such strange people in this world, and I can really develop military rations that will not make people hungry for two days!" Wei Jinzhong commanded with his back to Xuanwu, a warrior in Xuanjia.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!" Xuanwu took the order and turned around and walked out of the Fuguo Mansion.

Wei Jinzhong had a gloomy face, the reason why he wanted to use military rations to suppress Meng Xingzhou's old department this time was because these guys did not obey their orders, and the saint was ready to weaken the power of these heroes, between life and death, he Wei Jinzhong had already united with the barbarians to resist the imperial court to reduce power, but he never wanted to rebel, but adopted the strategy of besieging the barbarians but not attacking them, and appeasing and raising traitors, so that he could raise bandits to protect himself and support his own army.

For Meng Xingzhou, Wei Jinzhong felt that this kid had resigned and gone into hiding, and there was no threat to him, as long as he killed the military soul he left behind.

But when Xuanwu investigated the situation and came back to report, Wei Jinzhong was angry with Meng Xingzhou again!

Even if this kid lives in seclusion in the countryside, he can still make waves against himself! is still sheltering those former subordinates, this Sheng Guoer turned out to be his mother-in-law, it seems that this matter must not be simple.

Just thinking about it, suddenly a holy decree came from the palace, and the holy lord summoned Wei Jinzhong to discuss the matter of military rations.

Recently, Emperor Wu has been more upset, the barbarians have been harassing the border passes, Wei Jinzhong led the generals but has not made any achievements, and the barbarians have purchased Western firearms, and the military strength has increased greatly, but the combat effectiveness of the Dasheng army has been hovering in the middle and upper reaches, and the military rations have become a big problem after the winter.

Therefore, when Meng Xingzhou's recital came up, Emperor Wu was instantly dissipated, if the problem of military rations was solved, the imperial court could buy military rations as much as he wanted.

Wei Jinzhong is currently a general at the border gate, so he naturally wants to discuss this matter with him.

In fact, how could Wei Jinzhong not know what Emperor Wu had summoned him for, but he didn't want to hand over this business to Meng Xingzhou, so he made up his mind to muddy this matter when he was about to face the saint.

"Jinzhong, come, sit down and talk!"

As soon as Wei Jinzhong entered the Chongying Palace, Emperor Wu cordially asked him to sit down and talk back.

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" Wei Jinzhong sat on the prince's chair, and the little eunuch on the side brought a cup of tea.

"This is the bird's tongue tea bud of the bird's tongue, which is delicious and tight." Emperor Wu took a sip of tea first, and then said, "You taste it!" ”

Wei Jinzhong heard the saint mention the Yanque Pass, presumably reminding himself of the border guard, so he said: "The saint, this cup of tea is bitter!" ”

Emperor Wu said that he was going to complain to himself, so he didn't break it, and said: "It's normal for the tea to be bitter, so will you go to Huoshengjin!" ”

Wei Jinzhong arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, at present, the military food is in short supply, the soldiers are hungry to fight, but the treasury does not provide food and salary, and the minister's errand is extremely difficult!" ”

Emperor Wu said slowly: "I have already requisitioned military rations from the second county of Jiangning to go to the border pass, you don't have to worry!" ”

Wei Jinzhong said: "Holy Lord, the closest to the border pass is the Jinlong Mansion in Eastern Liao Prefecture, and it should be faster to transfer grain from here. ”

Emperor Wu said: "But the Golden Dragon Mansion has always been a bitter cold place, the common people have enough food and clothing, if a large number of military rations are mobilized, I am afraid that the common people will not be able to stand it, you still hold on and wait for the military rations of the second county of Jiangning!" ”

Wei Jinzhong said: "The Holy Lord actually knew for a long time that someone in the Golden Dragon Mansion had developed a new military ration, so why did he still tell me about the military rations in the second county of Jiangning? ”

Emperor Wu glanced at Wei Jinzhong, and said in his heart that this person has really become bold now, and he dares to question me directly!

But guarding the border passes, fighting the barbarians, you still have to serve the soldiers, so Emperor Wu stabilized his mood and said: "Oh, Aiqing has known for a long time, Jin Zhong, you must know that this new military ration I didn't pay attention to at all, how can the things developed by a house slave who is a township student and politician be used?" ”

Wei Jin Zhongxin said that it seemed that he didn't need to muddy this matter, and the saint didn't believe it, but then Emperor Wu changed his words and said: "But Zhan Yuzhao tasted this military ration, he just ate a few pieces and died, if it is really as Meng Xingzhou said, one piece can be worth two days, then it will greatly save military expenses!" ”

Then Emperor Wu took out the compressed biscuit and said, "Jinzhong, why don't you taste it and see how it works!" ”

Wei Jinzhong's heart turned at this moment, is this poison or really eating? Does the emperor want his own life?

But if you think about it carefully, it's a bit wrong, if the emperor wants his own life, he won't let himself hold military power, isn't he afraid of mutiny?

After thinking about it, Wei Jinzhong felt that the current emperor would not harm him, so he took the compressed biscuit with a smile and said: "It turns out that the saint has already won the battle, so Weichen will taste it!" ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Jinzhong ate a piece of compressed biscuits, which was indeed delicious, and he instantly felt full.

But Wei Jinzhong made an expression that was difficult to swallow, spit out a small piece, and said: "This thing tastes like chewing wax, if it is eaten by soldiers, won't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?" ”

Emperor Wu laughed and said: "I'm afraid that you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you are not used to eating this kind of thing!" I've asked a lot of people to taste it, and they all say it's delicious, but you, hahaha! Besides, this kind of thing is only emergency food during the war, and naturally cannot be classified as a daily army diet. ”

The emperor said this, even if he approved of this compressed biscuit, Wei Jinzhong still wanted to suppress it, so he said: "Holy Mingjian." But this kind of thing is cheap, so it doesn't cost too much military spending, and it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the saint, since Meng Xingzhou has developed such a wonderful military ration, and he has also been a military marshal, he should know the hardships of the soldiers, and as far as Wei Chen knows, his wife Sheng Guo'er is a proprietor who owns three shops, and the family has good financial resources, so she should contribute military rations! ”

Emperor Wu smiled: "Don't you give money for eating?" ”

Wei Jinzhong was speechless for a while, and Emperor Wu got up and paced and said: "To win the trust of the people, we must be happy with the people. Besides, the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty was originally about the establishment of the country by righteousness and faith, if it cannot win the trust of the people, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the founding of my Dasheng Dynasty? ”

Wei Jinzhong said: "Then how much money is the Holy Lord going to give Sheng Guo'er?" ”

Emperor Wu smiled and said: "This is your business, you are a general, how much military expenditure you want to allocate is your business, and you can report a total amount to me when the time comes." ”

Wei Jin Zhongzhong said that he would retreat and ask for the second, as long as the Holy Lord left this matter to himself.

Wei Jinzhong arched his hand and said: "Shengshang, rest assured, Weichen will definitely do a good job, and maybe he will find a better military ration than the compressed biscuits developed by Sheng Guo'er!" ”

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid it's very difficult, the front-line soldiers are waiting to be fed, the general should handle the purchase from Sheng Guo'er as soon as possible!" ”

Wei Jinzhong thought for a while and said, "Okay, Weichen will do it!" ”

Back at the Fuguo Mansion, Wei Jinzhong called Xuanwu and said, "Xuanwu, I remember that you are from Ping'an Township, right?" ”

Xuanwu said: "What the general said is true, his subordinates are indeed from Xifeng Village, Ping'an Township!" ”

Wei Jinzhong gently knocked on the lid of the teacup and said, "I remember that you are Boss Du's apprentice, right?" ”

Xuanwu said: "Yes, the shopkeeper of Chase is my mentor. ”

Wei Jinzhong said: "I heard that Datong Shop has acquired Gan Linji, a century-old store, and is still in the pastry business, and there is a capable little girl named Du..."

Wei Jinzhong couldn't remember this person's name for a while, and Xuanwu hurriedly reminded: "It's Du Ling, it's my junior sister!" ”

Wei Jinzhong said: "Well, you go and tell her, get Sheng Guo'er's secret recipe, she also makes compressed biscuits, and I will give her the military expenses when the time comes, as for how to divide it, you should know how to do it!" ”

This great good thing is put on himself, how can Xuanwu not care, only to see Xuanwu arch his hand and say: "The general is so loving, Xuanwu will definitely do his best to assist the general, but the general is the first to look forward!" ”

Wei Jinzhong said: "Okay, okay, let's go on an errand!" ”

Xuanwu nodded, turned around and left the Fuguo Mansion.

Xuanwu had just left the Fuguo Mansion, but he saw a young girl waiting at the door, looking very familiar.

When the girl saw Xuanwu, she hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Brother Xuanwu! ”

Xuanwu went over and asked, "Girl, do we know each other?" ”

The girl said, "Did Brother Xuanwu forget me so quickly?" ”

Xuanwu said a little strangely: "Forgive me for offending, I really can't remember!" ”

The girl sighed and said, "It's no wonder, I was only ten years old when you went to Beijing to be an official, and now that six years have passed, you naturally can't recognize me, I'm Du Poria!" ”

Xuanwu said in surprise: "You are a little junior sister!" ”

Du Fuling nodded happily, and then said: "My master and I came to the capital to do some business, and the master and I went to your mansion, and when we learned that you came to the Fuguo Mansion, we didn't dare to disturb you, so we were waiting for you outside!" ”

Xuanwu said, "Master is here too?" ”

Du Lingling pointed to the teahouse opposite and said, "Yes, he is waiting for you in the teahouse!" ”

Xuanwu hurriedly said, "Let's go, it just so happens that I still have important things to tell you!" It's a coincidence that you're still here, and I'll go to Ping'an Township again! ”

Du Fuling asked curiously, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”
