Chapter 054: What the People Want (I)

In the three days he took office, apart from patrolling the defense and going to the army to eat with the soldiers every day, Hu Wei just mingled with the soldiers, chatted and bragged, and did not do anything special. wenxueMiM did not call a meeting of the generals and officers, nor did it gather all the soldiers to give lectures. Those captains of the army all felt that they couldn't understand Hu Wei, only Riquelme was faintly guessing in his heart that Hu Wei must be planning something.

On the evening of the third day, Hou San appeared in Hu Wei's tent. The expression on his face was excited, as if something had been discovered.

"Drink some water first, then speak slowly. Look at you, if you fart, it's all written on your face, how to do big things in the future. Hu Wei didn't rush to greet San, but asked Hou San to sit down first.

"Yes, that's what the Captain said. Hou San took a sip of water, his face calmed down a little, and he was indeed smiling in his heart. Although Hu Wei did not say that he would be promoted to his official position, the sentence 'do great things' is very revealing.

Hu Wei waited for Sanjing to calm down, and then said, "Okay, let's talk." ”

"Yes, Captain, I searched for three days in a row, and finally let me find out. The problem lies with those grain officials. Look at this. Hou San took out a small bucket from his arms and put it on Hu Wei's table.

Hu Wei picked it up and looked at it, and said, "What is this?"

Hou San explained: "This is a tool for distributing grain. What they do in the bucket. The grain that was distributed with this bucket was much less than what was originally planned. ”

Hu Wei played with the bucket in his hand and said: "I can see this, I mean that if you only use this bucket as your hands and feet, the soldiers' food will not be so bad." ”

"If this bucket is only used once, of course it won't be that bad. But it's not just one fight. ”

"Do you mean that they do this in big fights and small fights, and eat layer by layer?" Hu Wei was moved. If you fight once, you will have one less fight, and this food is really not enough for a few fights.

"Yes, it's not just the grain officials who do it, they also collude with the guys. The man ate another verse, and the grain was even less.

This is the account book I got by accident, you can see it all when you look at it" Hou San took out a small book from his arms again.

Hu Wei glanced at Hou San, snorted coldly and said, "If you have something in the future, give me all of them at once." In front of me, you don't have to play with those little tricks. ”

Hou San was frightened by Hu Wei's eyes, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, I remember, there will never be such a thing in the future." ”

"Hmm. Only then did Hu Wei pick up the account book and read it carefully. is the same as Hou San said, after reading it, he understands everything.

It turned out that those grain officials not only fought in and out of their own big fights, but also colluded with their gangsters to do the same. The food they withheld not only ate for themselves, but also secretly sold out. This ledger is evidence of the spoils that were shared among the several of them, and it records in detail the amount of each deduction and the amount each person has received. The most ridiculous thing is that there is an order behind it. It says when the buyer will order how much grain, how much deposit will be charged, and when the delivery will be made.

Hu Wei closed the account book, took out a gold coin, put it in Hou San's hand and said, "You did a good job this time, go and rest first." ”

"Lord Captain, I'll help you with things, how can you ask for this. ”

"Take it, and have a chance to invite your brother to eat and drink. ”

After Hou San left, Hu Wei thought about how to make this move alone. That's right, with just this account book in his hand, Hu Wei can give an order to directly arrest those grain officials and men. Even if he was going to cut it, it couldn't say anything about him.

But is the question really that simple?

Although there was no other dirty record in the account book except for the grain official, Hu Wei knew that if it was not written, it did not mean that there was none. Hu Wei believes that if the grain officials did not connect the line between heaven and earth, they would never dare to do this. This is a complex problem that cannot be solved in the heat of the moment.

After thinking about it for most of the night, Hu Wei finally came up with a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. This plan can not only get what you want, but also make those grain officials restless and panic all day long.

Early the next morning, Hu Wei called Riquelme. Riquelme was not only a pawn, but also a herald for Hu Wei. Because Hu Wei is not yet qualified to open a government and set up accounts by himself, he does not have a private heir herald.

"Captain. Riquelme walked into Hu's tent and bowed.

"Riquelme, I want you to pass on my order, that from tomorrow all generals, including me, must dine with the soldiers. Unless there are special circumstances, no additional dining is allowed.

Also, what the soldiers eat, the generals also eat. Eat in the same pot without any difference. ”

"Lord Captain, this is not in order. Riquelme reminded: "Generals have certain privileges. ”

Hu Wei said toughly: "I don't care what the other troops are." In my troops, there is no such privilege. You can pass it on according to my orders, and if anyone can't figure it out and has any ideas, let him come to me personally. ”

Riquelme's eyes shone brightly: "I didn't obey orders." ”

The first order issued by Hu Wei was issued to the troops in a public form, and within half a day's effort, it caused constant discussion among the army.

The generals and soldiers ate in the same pot, which was something that had never been heard of. Although Hu Wei has eaten with soldiers in the past few days, many soldiers know that there are soldiers who have really eaten with Hu Wei.

But everyone thinks that it is only a matter of three or five days. When the novelty of Hu Wei has passed, it will naturally not be like this again. But this time, it was issued in the form of an order, and it was very different.

The soldiers had long had opinions about their food, but they were all afraid to be angry. Now Hu Wei's order is to let all the generals and soldiers eat together. The soldiers were really happy, and they were all waiting to see the good show of the generals.

Hearing the order, the first people to jump up were those grain officers and men. In the past few days, they heard that Hu Wei had been dining with the soldiers, and they felt that something was going to happen. Although they thought about adding food to Hu Wei, they couldn't figure out which team Hu Wei would eat in, so they couldn't implement it. And they also think that Hu Wei and the soldiers eat together, just because they think it is novel and fun, and after three or five days, they can't bear the hardship, so they naturally don't go.

But they never thought that Hu Wei would actually give them this hand. This is in the form of an order, but it is not a matter of three or five days, it is a long-term matter. For a long time, let the generals of the entire column eat wild vegetable porridge with the soldiers, even if the generals don't say anything, the people above will not let them go.

If this news spreads, the third column of the first wing of the 18th Division, from the captain to the soldiers, more than 300 officers and soldiers guarding the first line of defense, all eat wild vegetable porridge to live?

Ha, it's not just a question of one column, it's a problem for the entire Blizzard Legion, or the entire Empire. Not to mention a few of their small food officers, even the corps commander Sumentar couldn't withstand such pressure. You must know that military rations are the first to be supplied, and the front-line soldiers are the first. The front-line officers and soldiers have nothing to eat, regardless of what the people at home will think, what people from other countries will think, and the most important thing is where to put the face of the third emperor Valencia?

Hu Wei's small method can not be said to be poisonous, it is simply killing people without blood.

On the day the order was announced, the soldier found that the food in his bowl was all different. Not only is there plenty of white rice, but there is also meat. A few of the soldiers were eating and eating, and they were all about to cry. Although everyone didn't say it, everyone knew that it was Hu Wei who brought them this. Because Hu Wei ate with the soldiers, he knew the hardships of the soldiers.

"Lord Captain, you've done a really beautiful job. You didn't even hear it, the soldiers were all talking about you behind your back. Hou San said proudly.

"Oh, what do they say about me?"

"They say you're the one who really knows the soldiers, and you're their backbone. ”

Hu Wei said: "Well, if we do this, I believe that the food officers will not dare to mess around, but according to the food supply standards in the army, the soldiers can only eat half full at most, which is still not enough." ”

"That's already good, just order wild vegetables, and get by. Hou San didn't care. I used to eat porridge with wild vegetables, but now I have food to eat, what else is there to think about.

"It's not okay to eat wild vegetables, if you want the soldiers to play their combat power, you have to let them eat meat. Hou San, you are born as a hunter, you go to check for me, where can you hit wild beasts nearby. ”

"I don't have to look it up, I know what it is. ”

"You know?"

"Yes, but if I say it, you can't punish me. ”

As soon as Hu Wei saw Hou San's expression, he immediately thought of a place, the valley opposite. This piece should be the only place where you can hit your prey.

"Where is that?" Hu Wei didn't say, but he believed Hou San knew what he was talking about.

"Hmm. Hou San knew that Hu Wei had guessed the place, and explained: "The food here is too bitter, and I have no choice but to do this." ”

"How did you do that, how did you get through the defense line in the army?" asked Hu Wei nervously. If Hou Sanneng passed unknowingly, then Anrong's people can also come over like this. It's no joke, I can't get up one day only to find that my head is gone.

"I took advantage of our shift. The brothers in the class covered me, and I took one or two people over, and when I was done, I came back again. ”

Hu Wei said with relief: "So that's the case, no wonder you said that your subordinates all listen to you."

How's the prey over there, how?"

"Many, too much. That valley was so high that the wind and snow couldn't blow in, and it was warm inside. A lot of animals spend the winter in it. ”

"Okay, I see, you go down first. ”.
