131 Less Desire (Two in One)

When Qin Zhanying decided to start a war, his preparations would be quite complete, which was also recorded in the "History of Yu" - in another time and space, Qin Zhanying, who did not have much money on hand, copied three of the four pavilion elders before setting out on the expedition.

If you don't bring enough money and food, Ren Yu Wuzong doesn't want to attack, so he can't go half of it without food, and let the sergeant loot, which is too bad.

This is also the reason why Yu Wuzong's reputation in later generations has gradually improved, he can restrain the army from plundering the people, not to mention ancient times, and there are few armies that can do this in modern times, just such a character who is willing to spend effort to establish strict military discipline, can he be the kind of tyrannical and inhuman character described in the official history?

The four major pavilions of this time and space are all gone, and Qin Zhanying has big projects such as national cowpox and tarttarstone at hand, and the liquidity is very considerable, and it costs a lot, but it is also convenient to turn over.

First of all, Emperor Cheng'an's pro-army must finish planting the pox in advance and use the spitting tartar, and then start eating a full meal a month in advance, and carry out discipline training and physical training produced by Empress Lu to improve the combat ability of the soldiers.

After the opera was arranged, Qin Zhanying took Emperor Cheng'an to watch it in the opera garden in person, and after watching it, Emperor Cheng'an actually cried.

The unexpectedly emotional emperor put his arm around Qin Zhanying's shoulders: "You wrote this book?" That's so well written! That's great! ”

Qin Zhanying: "I didn't write it, it was written by the class master, I just provided pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked him to write a play that fits your life." ”

Emperor Cheng'an gave many rewards to the class master.

A group of people in the Wu family class thanked the lord Longen, that is, when Emperor Cheng'an talked to them, he mistook Wu Mei, the pillar of the protagonist, for a man, and asked if they had any relatives and children.

Wu Mei: "I don't get married, I don't have children, and Weichen is not a cheap person." ”

Emperor Cheng'an: "Ah, you are actually a girl." ”

In order to facilitate the management of household registration, the people were always divided into different classes of origin, and there were also military households and artisan households in Yuguo, but Zeguo had already abolished the cheap nationality, and they were divided according to their place of birth.

In order to prevent people from borrowing the account for profit and corruption, Qin Zhanying deliberately made the process of registering the account very simple, and increased the supervision and punishment.

In Zeguo, the only thing that can be called a crime is the guilt, that is, neither the offender nor the children of the offender are allowed to enter the army and the official office.

Wu Mei's parents are gone, she herself has been displaced from Bashu Road to Qiongya Island, and she has today by singing, her temperament is naturally hard, since she has taken off her lowly status, she will never admit that she is cheap again.

She used to be the chief opera officer of the Drama Department of the Ministry of Rites of Zeguo, and she was also a petty official of the Law Popularization Department of the Yuguo Criminal Department.

Emperor Cheng'an asked carefully how to use opera as propaganda, and Wu Mei replied one by one.

Qiu Yu looked at Qin Zhanying's expression, it is true that the business ability of the class master and the drama troupe is very strong, and the drama discharged is very touching, and it can most resonate with the sergeants of Emperor Cheng'an's generation, but when the essence of this book is Qin Zhanying's propaganda tool, probably looking at a cold tool that causes a bunch of tears, Qin Zhanying's heart is very curious.

What did he think?

Qin Zhanying secretly glared at Qiu Yu, turned his head and asked Emperor Cheng'an to go to the street to eat a bowl of small wontons, the emperor's uncle liked wontons very much, he said that after Emperor Kailong finished the war, he would let those black and thin wives who were widows make a pot of wontons, and the family ate lively, happier than eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace.

Qiu Yu also got a bowl.

The little prince in his regular clothes went to pay the bill, the white-haired wonton old man wanted to find money, Qin Zhanying didn't ask for it, he took three boiled eggs back, and now the eggs are only one penny, and he uses the eggs to find money, so that the old man can earn a few more pennies.

The prince peeled the shell slowly, ate one for himself, and put the other two in the bowls of Emperor Cheng'an and Qiu Yu.

Emperor Cheng'an was flattered.

Qiu Yu looked at the bowl, and for some reason, her throat choked, and the joy of the child's growth welled up in her heart.

This kid is indeed a good hand at manipulating public opinion and playing with power, but he still has warmth in his heart.

Qin Zhanying saw that he had been staring at the egg, thinking that he didn't want to eat it: "If you don't eat this egg, take it back and give it to the rabbit to eat, don't waste it." ”

Qiu Yu complained: "You are really diligent and thrifty enough to keep the family, how can there be a prince like you who doesn't even waste eggs in all dynasties?" ”

Qin Zhanying shot back: "When you need to often do logistics for the emperor who is pro-conscript, you will also become disgusted with waste. ”

War burns money, and the reason why he is good at managing money is because God let the little prince have two emperor elders who love to fight.

Empress Lu, who was far away on Luzon, sneezed.

The emperor's uncle didn't dare to say much, an emperor like him who was born in the military knew better than anyone that logistics was his father's truth.

Qin Zhanying doesn't like to eat wontons, and Emperor Cheng'an is concerned: "But you don't have a good appetite?" ”

The little prince replied, "I prefer powder." ”

Whether it is sour noodles on Qiongya Island, rice noodles in Huxiang Road, or rice noodles in Liangguang, these delicacies that were sorted out and promoted by Qiu Yu are all snacks that Qin Zhanying is used to eating, and the semi-liquid food of wontons and noodles is what he eats a lot when he is sick, and over time, he doesn't touch these when he is not sick.

Qiu Yu said: "When I go back, I'll make you rice rolls, double eggs with meat foam." ”

Qiu Yu knew that only he knew Qin Zhanying's taste best, for example, when the little prince ate garlic white meat and plum cabbage buckle meat, he could accept five points of fat and five points of lean meat.

For example, every time you eat a dish involving meat foam, it is best to beat the meat foam with two fat and eight lean meat, so as to have the fat aroma that is just right and can satisfy Qin Zhanying's adolescent appetite.

These eating habits were passed on to his son by Officer Lu, and ordinary cooks would only know that Qin Zhanying frowned when he saw fatty meat, and then turned his head and didn't eat it, not knowing that his acceptance of fatty meat in different dishes was completely different.

Qin Zhanying usually likes Qiu Yu to cook for him, but this time she said, "I'll go to the barracks to eat." ”

One of the ways to effectively limit the corruption in the army's logistics is to lead unscheduled raids, show up during meals, and then say that I will eat with the sergeants.

Qin Zhanying often did this on Qiongya Island, and once directly scared the officials in charge of logistics to death, Lu Xiaoxuan, who went over together, glanced at it and said that the old brother who was greedy for more than 2,000 catties of flour had a cerebral hemorrhage.

But there is no way, people from Chinese civilization understand the importance of eating and drinking, and an army that can eat enough and an army that can't eat is not the same thing at all! If the army wants to reach the pinnacle of world combat power, it must grow two legs, one leg is teaching and training, and the other leg is logistics.

Qiu Yu knew that no matter how many quartermasters were scared to death, he couldn't stop the prince from going to the barracks, because the prince was now acting as the chivalrous and tender thigh of the Yu army!

Emperor Cheng'an, out of consideration for visiting the work status of the successor, also followed Qin Zhanying, and Qiu Yu followed.

The dragon guard camp is on the outskirts of Beijing, and the three of them also met a funeral team on the road, and an official of the Ministry of Officials was gone when he was repairing the road, and this person's family still had some power, and the ancestral tomb was in a county near Dajing.

Qin Zhanying stopped the carriage, opened the curtains and looked at it for a while, and said regretfully: "The crying spirit is not loud enough. ”

Qiu Yu had a headache: "Don't see that the funeral is not big enough." ”

This kid doesn't even want to hide his hellish nature in front of the emperor's uncle!

Who knew that Emperor Cheng'an actually sighed: "My father used to like to see the funeral, especially like the scene of crying, if there is more than one coffin in the funeral procession, he can run over and ask people who died in this family, and because of this, he has fought with the funeral team." ”

This is too lacking in morality, isn't it?

Qiu Yu showed the expression of the old man in the subway.

There are more royal secrets he doesn't want to know!

And when the men of the dragon guard battalion directly under the emperor in the suburbs of Beijing saw Qin Zhanying, most of them showed an expression that seemed to be numb but seemed to be very enthusiastic.

In fact, before Wang Xing began to prepare for war and persuade the emperor, the crown prince had already packed up the 50,000 people in the Dragon Guard Camp and the Dragon Guard Camp for almost half a year.

He asked the men to change their bosses three times, and the prince himself put forward strict requirements for the work and environmental hygiene of the cooks, and even dragged them to class, telling them how dangerous it was to eat unhygienically, and keeping a closer eye on their achievements in practice, requiring the men to train the strength to be able to carry more than 80 catties of steamed bread and flatbread to the city wall to deliver food during a long-term defense of the city.

The men who were originally fat and strong either followed their bosses to build roads or were eliminated, and those who managed to survive were all strong twice, and they were able to put down two or three big men with kitchen knives and spatulas, and their salaries were raised.

The point is military pay!

Don't look at the prince quietly coming to the barracks for dinner, none of the men ran to their superiors to tell the truth, "The prince has come to inspect us again", but they worked very hard when cooking dinner.

Now the economy of Yuguo is like that, and the old family of the four pavilions is still not rich, and there are many places to spend money, so naturally it is impossible for the sergeants to eat meat every day, but it is possible to grit their teeth and provide an egg a day, and then provide insect powder biscuits to supplement protein.

The insect powder biscuits are not bad in nutrition, and eating them can prevent night blindness to a certain extent!

Today's dinner in the barracks is two mixed noodles and steamed buns for each sergeant, and then the eggs are beaten into the cornmeal, and the sauerkraut is put in the pot to make gnocchi soup.

Don't think this is shabby food, Emperor Cheng'an is a child born when Emperor Kailong was still a soldier, he has suffered, and naturally knows how rare it is for low-level sergeants to eat this kind of steaming, oily and salty meal!

He was stunned and said, "Yo, this is the Chinese New Year!" "Eat so well, will you not be able to live in the future?

Qin Zhanying's face was expressionless: "As long as the logistics are not corrupt, there are no holes in the minds of the officials of the household department, and at least two-thirds of the country's land has not suffered natural disasters, then in terms of the current number of troops in the Yu country, it can afford to feed the sergeants like this every day." ”

Although Emperor Cheng'an didn't understand economics, he had suffered the losses of corrupt officials, so he only coughed and gave the prince a thumbs up.

Natural disasters are not something that people can control, but the prince is worried about cleaning up corrupt officials and arranging officials with no brains in the household department.

He got up and walked to the edge of the barracks, and saw many sergeants standing in a boxy formation, advancing, retreating, running, and waving their wooden knives, sticks, and rattan shields under the command of Xiaoqi, Baihu, and other petty officers.

There are also soldiers in the army when they train

weapons, so unless they go to the battlefield, they will not easily send iron weapons to them, which is also to prevent the grumpy soldiers from arguing and directly cutting each other.

Emperor Cheng'an boasted: "No one has a yellow complexion, no hair is scattered, and his clothes are neat and not tattered, they are all good soldiers, who is responsible for the recruitment in the past two years?" This person deserves a reward. ”

The prince's face was expressionless: "Before I took over here, they had yellow faces and thin muscles, their clothes and weapons were tattered, and the entire battalion could not find a sergeant without lice on their bodies. ”

Emperor Cheng'an knew why the prince took sick leave, his foundation was not good, and the workload was so large, he was tired.

But Emperor Cheng'an is willing to give the throne to others, and now the state and the emperor's private treasury can also manage the finances of the prince, I really don't know what to reward, and the whole person is very embarrassed.

Qin Zhanying continued: "Qiu Yu is really working hard, wherever he goes, insect farms, pig farms will be opened, he has employees on hand who specialize in promoting the technology of raising livestock and insects, and often go to other villages and towns to find farmers to cooperate, they teach technology and capital to farmers, when farmers raise pigs, cattle, sheep and insects, they go to buy, and they can be regarded as helping many villages and towns get rid of poverty." ”

Most of these employees come out of literacy classes, and they will go to Qiu Yu's factories that can already be regarded as state-owned enterprises to learn more professional knowledge, and for the rest of their lives they will have to run around the countryside to spread this knowledge, this job is risky, because after entering some villages, they may be robbed of their property by fierce villagers, and then killed, eaten meat, bone stew, and even worse, on the way they will be robbed by bandits and boiled into rations.

To tell a horror story, in today's world, only Zeguo in the world can go out without being stewed, even if he encounters robbers and is even unfortunately killed, at least he doesn't have to go into the pot and grill after death.

Like Yu, Meng and those foreign countries in the west, it is actually the norm to go out and be stewed, because there are too few people who have eaten enough these years, and people are irrational when they are extremely hungry, but a beast that wants to live madly.

After that, such hired workers had to go to the barracks to learn martial arts before leaving the army, and when they traveled, they had to travel in the company of dozens of people, carrying weapons in their hands, and hard currency such as salt, sugar, and cloth on their backs.

Emperor Cheng'an understood: "Give him a knighthood." ”

Qin Zhanying: "Just give a viscount." "Then the promotion in the back will wait for Qin Zhanying to seal it herself.

"Don't put the lake in the fiefdom."

That is the hometown of the Qiu clan, originally Huxingfang is a famous martial arts family in the water system of Huguang Road, and then give a knighthood, it is really a family that was originally honest in shipping to work hard in the direction of the old family of the four pavilions.

Emperor Cheng'an: "Then where to put it?" ”

Qin Zhanying thought for a while: "Put it in the north, and you will ...... Laishui County, he will be Laishui County in the future. ”

Emperor Cheng'an: "Zhan Ying, the land there is not ours yet." ”

It is currently returned to Beimeng.

Qin Zhanying affirmed: "One day it will be our family's, Laishui is close to Taihang Mountain, my grandmother said that there is a place where feng shui is very good, and my mausoleum will be built over there." ”

Qiu Yu couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard that he was suddenly about to be knighted, and the territory had not yet been defeated, but when Qin Zhanying mentioned the matter of the mausoleum, his heartbeat suddenly stopped for a moment.

He didn't seem to realize for the first time until this moment that Qin Zhanying was going to die.

Oh yes, Yingying will be gone sooner or later.

When Qiu Yu crossed over, it was because he knew that he was in Qin Zhanying's era, so he was determined to survive here, because the era in which Yu Wuzong was located, at least it would not be too bad, and it was true, but if Yingying was not there one day, and a regular ancient emperor would take charge of the country, would this still be a place that modern people could accept?

Qiu Yu never denied that he actually relied on Ying Ying in some way.

Emperor Cheng'an is not surprised, as an emperor, who didn't repair the mausoleum first when he was alive to ensure that he could be prosperous and rich after his death, and there would be a group of servants? Not to mention the emperor, people with a bit of family background are all doing this.

"My mausoleum is close to my father, if you can really fight north, then the mausoleum should indeed be placed on the north side, I originally thought you would put the place in the ancestral land."

Emperor Kailong's hometown is in the north of Shanlu Road.

Qin Zhanying said: "The feng shui over there in Taihang is good, my grandmother said that the snow scene and the sea of clouds over there are extremely beautiful, I don't want any gold and silver antiques to accompany the funeral after I die, just lie on the mountain with a coffin and a stone tablet engraved with my name, and stuff the coffin with those investigation notes I wrote, what I wrote myself is not valuable, so as to save the trouble of being dug up for money after death." ”

He had no intention of overhauling the mausoleum.

Qiu Yu sat on the side, lowered his eyes, spread his palms, and remembered that during the war, there were tomb robbers who pried open the tomb of Yu Wuzong and stole his calligraphy and paintings.

He had seen "The Picture of Soldiers Protecting the Country", and was amazed that this Wufu Emperor, who was recorded in official history as an out-and-out martial artist, had such superb artistic attainments, and also knew that "Qiongya Sea Tide Map" was auctioned abroad for a sky-high price of 230 million US dollars.

Emperor Cheng'an exclaimed: "You can think about it, beware of some people saying that you are not an emperor." ”

Qin Zhanying said indifferently: "I don't believe that there are gods and Buddhas in the sky, if you die, you will die, come with a red stripe, bring some calligraphy and painting when you leave, enough, no matter how many people talk about it, they won't be able to read it after I die, just let them go." ”

The descendants of the rain god and the godson of Mazu actually don't believe in God, which is also a strange story.

But this is the idea that Qin Zhanying had when he was seriously ill when he was a child, he thought to himself, that is, if he puts all the wealth in the world in the mausoleum, can he come back from the dead or what? If you think about it, you know that it's impossible, so forget it, and squeeze it in the grave without extra messy things.

"It's too expensive to build a mausoleum, wouldn't it be much more practical to have this effort to build roads and embankments?" Qin Zhanying sighed, he felt that if all the emperors did not waste this money, the pressure on the household departments of all dynasties would be much less, although with the temperament of those officials, it was unknown whether the money saved by the emperor could be used on the people.

It is also because of this that Qin Zhanying just didn't repair the mausoleum himself, but he didn't ask his mother and uncle not to repair, he only restrained himself.

It's a pity that Qin Zhanying feels that it doesn't matter, but everyone who listens to it feels sour in their hearts, in these years, after death, Jian Ban is actually very aggrieved, Qin Zhanying is willing to leave more money for future generations, this is no longer pretending to be virtuous, but really virtuous and loving the people to the extreme.

Qin Zhanying has a short temper, kills people too neatly, likes to pile up the Beijing view, sends his head to the city wall, buries people in the soil, sometimes is too rational and does not pay attention to human feelings, does not take the official's life as his life, and other harmless little problems, but he is not greedy for enjoyment, he doesn't even want to overhaul the mausoleum, he actually has very little material desire, but he does a lot of work for the country, the people, and the soldiers, and those who do not break the law will live very comfortably under his hands.

He would be a good emperor, at least the common people would be happy to sit on the throne.

Emperor Cheng'an thought for a while, and said sincerely: "If you were like you when Meng Guo sat on the throne, your grandfather wouldn't have to rebel." ”

After a while, after the drill in the barracks, the sergeants lined up to come over for dinner, and finally saw Qin Zhanying sitting by the stove and roasting the fire.

The sergeants showed a look of surprise, but no one came to disturb them, but they just asked the prince to be the first to cook during the meal.

As a royal family, sometimes enjoying special treatment is also a way to show his identity and authority, Qin Zhanying accepted it with confidence, he took Emperor Cheng'an and Qiu Yu to sit down on the low table and low stool in the corner, and the rest lined up to get food, and then ate on the side of the long table and chair, some simply squatted.

Most of the soldiers were rude, which could not be changed after only three months of literacy classes, so they ate quietly, and the sound of bowls and chopsticks beating and smacking lips was endless.

Emperor Cheng'an took a few bites of steamed buns, and felt that although the taste was rough, it was indeed kneaded by solid grain grinding noodles, and the portion was sufficient, and a trained soldier covered in sweat could be very full after eating two.

Qin Zhanying had to take the steamed buns and soak them in the gnocchi soup, otherwise he wouldn't be able to swallow it.

Emperor Cheng'an quipped: "There are so many young people in the clan, so you are willing to eat this." ”

Qin Zhanying: "Otherwise, those sergeants who will go to the battlefield to work for Yu Guo in the future will also eat this, and I will come here occasionally, what does it matter?" ”

Emperor Cheng'an: "You are very right. ”

Qin Zhanying also mentioned that the military camp eats meat occasionally, usually three times a month, and the logistics will send live pigs that meet the number of live pigs in the military camp according to the algorithm of one pig for 500 people, and the men have to kill the pigs themselves.

Pork bones must be stewed in soup, and meat and seasonings are stewed together with vermicelli, wild vegetables, enoki mushrooms, etc., making a hodgepodge.

Pig blood will be mixed with tofu and flour to make meatballs.

The pig is not wasted in the water, and it is marinated directly with sauce, which is so fragrant that people can't wait to swallow it!

Each person has a small spoonful of lard, and together with soy sauce, it is a treasure for bibimbap, and if you scoop a few pieces of oil residue in the spoon, it can be so beautiful that the sergeant will be in a good mood all day.

"People can't help but eat oil and water, otherwise they won't grow tall, and it will be harmful to the internal organs, and they will have bad eyes and hair loss, and they usually give vegetarian oil in the barracks, and the meat oil must be replenished on time, and when you go to the front line, the supplies will try to keep up, and it is also according to the standards of the dragon protection camp."

After a while, the commander of the Dragon Guard Camp finally hurried over, nodded and asked the prince to say goodbye, but when he saw Emperor Cheng'an, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he knelt down, the whole person relaxed a little.

It seems that it is a terrible thing for them to face the crown prince alone, but having an emperor next to them makes them feel at ease.

Qiu Yu almost laughed.

Until it was time to go back, Emperor Cheng'an returned to the palace, and Qin Zhanying told his uncle that he wanted to rest at Qiu Yu's house, and they wanted to talk about more things related to logistics.

Emperor Cheng'an agreed.

Dajing has a curfew, but the crown prince doesn't have to abide by this, he is a privileged class.

Late at night, when the night wind was blowing in Beijing, the little prince called a stop near Qiufu, left the carriage and guards behind, and walked back with Qiu Yu.

When approaching Qiu's house, Qiu Yu whispered: "Your tomb is still a little bigger, I am going to be cremated after death, you must at least leave a place next to the coffin where you can put the urn." ”

There is no other reason, just as a courtier, Qiu Yu also hopes to be buried next to Qin Zhanying after death.

However, since the little prince has made up his mind not to repair the mausoleum, and the size of his tomb is estimated to not fit too many coffins, Qiu Yu said that he would not mind entering in the posture of a box.

Qin Zhanying stopped, carefully looked at Qiu Yu's expression, turned back again, and said lazily: "Look at your performance, let's make more contributions when you are alive." ”:,,.
