Datang Fenghua Road

Fortunately, Li Shimin just waved his hand at will, and said lightly: "Let's put it away beforehand. It's five nights, and it's raining heavily outside. The soldiers must be sleepy and tired. Go and arrange for everyone to camp." He said here Glancing at Han Yue, he suddenly asked, "Stinky boy, do you still have any sweet potatoes in stock?"

"Yes!" Han Yue agreed, with some doubts: "Why did Your Majesty mention this?"

"Why do you still need to ask?" Li Shimin scolded, raised his leg with a kick, and shouted: "Don't hurry up and get some out for the soldiers to eat, I don't have the eyesight..."

"Oh oh oh!" Only then did Han Yue react, and he said goodbye quickly, and went out with Li Chong to get sweet potatoes.

The fifth watch is the time when people are the most sleepy. In addition, it is raining non-stop, and the night wind on the top of the mountain is a little cold.Even so, the thousands of soldiers did not complain, they just huddled under the eaves of the earthen fort under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, constantly squeezing the rainwater on their clothes with their hands.

Originally, there was a large row of low-rise houses next to the earthen fort. Although it was a little crude, it was completely able to shelter from the wind and rain.It's a pity that the soldiers of the Hundred Knights were forbidden. Before they got the emperor's order, they would rather squat under the eaves and endure the cold wind than go in.

Han Yue was a little moved. Of course, these warriors were there to protect Li Shimin, but tonight they searched for Wang Lingyun in the wind and rain, and they were helping him wholeheartedly.

The rain was still falling, but it was about to stop gradually. When the Hundred Knights soldiers who were sheltering from the rain saw Han Yue and Li Chong approaching, everyone bowed their hands lightly, and there was no resentment on their faces.

"Marquis of Jingyang!" Li Chong suddenly approached Han Yue and said in a low voice, "It's nothing for us warriors to be hungry and cold. Although Your Majesty asked you to feed the soldiers with sweet potatoes, I heard that sweet potatoes are High-yielding and fine-grained seeds, one more variety can live an extra person. Let’s not eat them.”

"Don't eat it!" Han Yue nodded slowly, his tone was a bit strange, he suddenly took a deep breath, and said, "Sweet potato is nothing, but it's just to fill the stomach. Tonight, I want to invite everyone to eat meat..."

"Eat meat?"

Li Chong was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the top of the mountain for a long time, but did not find where the meat was stored. "Could it be that the Marquis of Jingyang wants the people down the mountain to slaughter pigs and sheep and bring them up?"

He didn't know that Han Yue actually wanted to use the system. The price of the system for high-nutrient marching meat was not expensive, and a few points could be exchanged for more than ten catties.

The warriors are braving the wind and cold, and they will face the battle of Weishui soon, it is time to add some meat to them.

Let them taste it today first, and tomorrow I will go to the emperor, as long as I exchange for a secret recipe of marching meat, the military ration business of Datang will belong to me in the future.

There are also red-clothed cannons. Before the Battle of Weishui comes, I will sell [-] to the emperor...

Chapter 96 Soldiers Talking About Han Yue Quietly

A heavy rain washed over the world, and when the sky was about to light up, the rain finally stopped.

After the so-called empty mountains and new rain, the weather is late and autumn comes, and a few big stars quietly appear from the dark clouds. A bright moon slowly disappears in the sky, but the fish’s belly has not been revealed in the east. view.

There are four large pots on the square on the top of the mountain, and a bonfire is burning under the pots. The water in the pots gradually rises, and the heat slowly comes out.

The soldiers sat around the cauldron, saying that they wanted to bake the fire to dry their clothes, but in fact they were all staring at the pile of meat next to the cauldron.

That's right, a pile of meat mountain, a full three or four hundred catties.

Marching meat, as the name sounds, is the meat used to make military rations. The method is to first cook a large piece of raw meat, then divide it into small cubes of about half a catty, brew it with various Chinese herbal medicines that increase qi and blood, and finally soak the tea in salt water. Xu, air-dry, and wrap in oiled paper.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even later generations didn't have this thing, but it was something that Han Yue discovered by accident when he inquired about the system.This item is military rations that can only be found in a different world. The Qinglian system can be exchanged for items from the heavens and myriad worlds, so it is of course easy to get some marching meat.

Han Yue was not so stupid as to exchange it from the system in front of everyone, he just lied that this product was a military ration developed by himself, and because the formula was not perfect, he had been locked in the fourth floor of the earth castle.Anyway, when Li Shimin's family visited the earth castle, they only visited the first three floors, so this lie will not be exposed.

The marching meat is very fragrant. Although it has been dried, it still has a unique taste of meat. Many soldiers are greedy and quietly drooling, and their eyes are different when they look at Han Yue.

"The Marquis of Jingyang insisted on asking everyone to eat meat."

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the treasury was not full. It is not bad to have a full meal when you are a soldier. Where will you be given meat to eat?The Hundred Knights are stronger. Because they are the emperor's own army, they occasionally add some meat and slaughter their teeth, but most of the time they eat rough pancakes.

In this case, a large group of people cut their heads and drilled into the Hundred Knights.

why?Because the emperor is close to the army, his job is stable.The other armies of the Tang Dynasty were all government troops. When there was no war on weekdays, the court did not support soldiers. If you want to eat, you can go home and farm the land yourself.

In this era, the yield of crops is really low. You work hard all year round, and the final harvest is only half full. Once you catch up with a year of famine, it is normal for people to starve to death.

So even though the food of the hundred knights is not very good, the soldiers still have no complaints.

In this era, being able to eat pancakes every day is already considered a good life.If there is meat, it is simply not too beautiful.

Now that Han Yue asked to eat meat, how could the soldiers not be happy.

The bonfire was raging, and the water in the cauldron began to boil. Han Yue called out a few young people from Shiyi, and each handed out a large package of condiments, and asked them to start cooking pepper soup.

Pepper is used to keep out the cold, and it has a natural spicy taste. A middle-aged warrior from Baiqiji sniffed and asked the Shiyi boy carefully: "Little brother, this thing is very choking, why should it be boiled in a pot? Can I still drink water later?"

"What do you know?" The young man squinted at him and said proudly, "This is Hu spicy soup, a secret method originally created by Lord Hou. Drinking it from a bowl will make you feel refreshed."

"Hu spicy soup?" The soldier's eyes lit up, he swallowed quietly, and subconsciously said, "Is it spicy?"

"It's not particularly spicy, because I'm reluctant to put too much." This young man in Shiyi is also a two-knife. He didn't know that no matter how much pepper was added, it would not increase the spiciness. He forced himself to boast: "Pepper is a spice, It is said that one or two pieces of gold are hard to buy, and only those wealthy families can enjoy it. Hmph, so what if they can afford pepper, they can't make Hu spicy soup, no one in the whole Tang Dynasty understands this secret recipe, only my Marquis can. ."

"That's what it is!" The soldier praised with admiration on his face and gave a thumbs up: "Young genius, although he is about the same age as my baby, he has already been named Marquis. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really amazing. How could I? If such a genius is not born, go home and beat the girls..."

"Wife beating?" The Shiyi boy looked disgusted and said with a sneer, "My Marquis is a disciple of a god. Even if you beat your daughter-in-law to death, you won't be able to give birth to a genius like Marquis."

"Alas!" The middle-aged warrior groaned angrily and stomped his feet vigorously. He didn't know if it was because he regretted not being able to give birth to a young wizard, or if he planned to go home and beat the girls.

"Uncle, stop sighing, we don't have that fate." A young soldier next to him gave him a hand. This man had some knowledge and whispered in his ear: "You didn't see that even His Majesty the Emperor stayed here overnight, Pulling the Marquis of Jingyang and talking about it in the middle of the night, as well as the Queen, Concubine Yang, and even the little princess. thing?"

The middle-aged soldier was slightly startled, frowned and recalled for a while, and finally confirmed: "I have never seen it."

"That's not right!" The young warrior slapped his thigh and said mysteriously: "You think about it, Your Majesty never stays outside the palace, but he lives here for the first time tonight. Is he greedy for the scenery of the small barren mountains? No? No, there are so many civil and military ministers in the Manchu dynasty, but I have never seen anyone who has this kind of treatment? So, the Marquis of Jingyang and the family members are very long..."

"That's what it is!" The middle-aged soldier swallowed, his face slightly unnatural.

The young soldier glanced at him and finally said what was in his heart, whispering: "You just opened your mouth and said that you can't give birth to a young wizard. I almost misunderstood when I heard this, and I thought you were alluding to being a family member. Dad. Uncle, the trouble comes from the mouth, we are all ordinary soldiers, we really want to provoke Lord Jingyang, hehe..."

He didn't continue talking, but the middle-aged soldier's face turned pale. He quietly swallowed and said embarrassingly, "No way."

"Of course not!" Han Yue's voice suddenly sounded, he pushed aside a few surrounding soldiers and walked directly over, smiling: "I'm not a vicious villain, how can I get angry just because someone said a few words?" He glanced at the middle-aged soldier, saw that his face was a little timid, and said gently: "This uncle looks at Mianshan, but he really looks like a kind elder, just now you praised me, boy, but I heard it, I am very happy.”

"Hehehe!" The middle-aged soldier grinned honestly, not knowing where to put his nervous hands.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone talking at the earthen fort, and the familiar voice was Li Shimin. "The stinky boy's behavior is still a little right, and it's not worth my painstaking teaching."

It turned out that the emperor hadn't slept yet. He walked out of the fort wearing a long robe, Shi Shiran, when he appeared, the soldiers fell to their knees, Li Shimin waved his hand lightly, and said lightly, "Get up, all the soldiers and soldiers. I didn’t rest at night, I felt very uncomfortable, I couldn’t help but come down and take a look.”

Invitation to buy people's hearts, absolutely invitations to buy people's hearts, but a large number of soldiers turned red after hearing this, as if they had eaten a powerful pill, Han Yue quietly rolled his eyes, and felt very unhappy.

I just wanted to pretend to be forced, and you immediately ran out to grab the limelight. Are you still letting people pass?

But Li Shimin didn't care what he was thinking, he walked all the way to the cauldron, his eyes swept the marching meat beside the cauldron, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted at Han Yue: "What is this? Come over here and talk to me."

"Tell me well?" Han Yue's eyes also lit up, he quickly put on a smile, and flattered: "Your Majesty wants to listen to the introduction, the boy knows everything..."

The emperor became interested in marching meat, how could he not let him return with a reward?

Tonight, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the air at the top of the mountain is refreshing after the rain. Hehehe, taking advantage of Li Shimin's good mood, it seems that the military ration supply contract has not run away.

Chapter 97 Fool the emperor to buy military rations

"Look, Your Majesty, this thing is called marching meat, a pure natural product without any additives. It is completely marinated and air-dried with refined meat. Six kinds of nourishing medicinal materials are added to it. A man has a strong back."
