The soldiers replied in unison: "Okay." But the voice was obviously smaller than before.
Liu Xin smiled and shook his head, and said, "You guys, you didn't tell me the truth. I don't know the rest of the time. Just look at this lunch today. I want to say you are full, I believe. But I want to say you can eat well. Okay, I don't believe it."
A dark and thin soldier took the courage to say: "Back to the lord, we used to have a full meal and a hungry meal at home, but now we can eat three meals a day, how can we dare to have any extravagant hopes."
Liu Xinchao smiled encouragingly and said: "You are telling the truth, which shows that you still want to eat better in your heart. Training is a hard and tiring job. I am more motivated if I eat well. Let me ask you again, if today’s lunch is a pot of radish stewed with tofu and a pot of radish stewed with pork, which one would you eat first?”
A younger soldier blurted out: "Of course I'll eat meat first."
When everyone looked at him, it seemed that their saliva was about to flow out, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Liu Xin couldn't help but laughed and said, "Okay, everyone will work hard in the future. I will find ways to improve the food for everyone, so that everyone can eat well and eat well."
Liu Xin returned from the training center to the prefecture and she immediately sent someone to Jusui and asked, "Gongyou, is there any way to make the soldiers eat better? It's best to have meat at a meal, and breakfast can be added. Eggs."
Jushou said embarrassedly: "Lord, not counting the local army, the 5th Army Corps plus the navy army, now there are 65,000 people in Jingzhou's army. If each person has an egg a day, there is no money to buy it. ."
Liu Xin pondered, yeah, he hadn't thought about this problem yet, and there were no large-scale farms at this time. It was really tricky to solve this problem. However, if you don’t want to ensure the nutrition of the soldiers, you can’t do it. He saw the soldiers at the training center today that they are relatively thin. Except that the physique of the southerners is not as good as that of the northerners, the main reason should be due to the fact that the physique of the southerners is not as good as that of the northerners. Poor nutrition and a serious lack of protein intake.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin said: "Gongyou, you have lived in the north for a long time, and you should have been in contact with the people on the grasslands. Compared with the people of the Central Plains, they are generally stronger and stronger than the Central Plains. I analyze. This has a lot to do with their long-term consumption of beef and mutton and goat’s milk. It would be great if our soldiers could also eat more meat."
Jushou thought for a while and said, "With so many people, if they eat meat every day, the meat on the market will immediately become expensive, and even cause looting. It is really necessary to let the soldiers eat meat, and only raise their own pigs and sheep."
Liu Xin slapped his head, yes, raising pigs by himself, why didn't he expect that the powerful army of later generations would have the tradition of raising pigs and growing vegetables by themselves. Liu Xin said decisively: "Do this, raise pigs by yourself."
Jushou couldn't believe his ears, and asked, "The lord wants to let the corps raise their own pigs?"
Liu Xin said affirmatively: "Yes, it is to raise pigs by yourself. You tell Gongming and Yide to ask them to select ten people from each team of hundred people to be responsible for raising pigs. Of course, the training of these ten people is still not enough. Can't fall. As for how many pigs you raise, you should estimate with them to ensure that the soldiers can eat meat every day."
Jushou has always resolutely implemented Liu Xin's orders. What's more, if they are not allowed to raise pigs, in case Liu Xin turns to ask him to buy pork, not only this is an impossible task, but also a big burden for his finances.
Liu Xin has not been in Ma Yun’s room for three days because he is worried about Bianyu’s body. Today, Bianyu’s complexion looks much better. At night, Liu Xin also came to Ma Yun’s room with confidence. After all, she too In confinement.
When eating dinner, Ma Yun knew that Liu Xin was coming tonight, so she coaxed Liu Yu to sleep early, fed Ma Fan again, and lay down on the lamp while waiting for him to come. The last time she agreed to Cai Yan, she never found a chance to ask Liu Xin. It has been several days and can't delay any longer.
Liu Xin saw the training center today and was very satisfied with the results of the exercise. In the evening, he saw the report on the situation in the new area sent by Kuailiang in the study. He felt more comfortable. He hummed a small song and walked into the courtyard leisurely. .
Qiao'er had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Liu Xin coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and said crisply, "Master, you are here."
Liu Xin nodded towards her and asked, "Has the madam slept?"
This was an agreement that no one had stated clearly. If Ma Yun had already fallen asleep when Liu Xin came, he would stay in Qiao'er's room. Although Liu Xin doesn't go by too many times each month, the little girl Qiao'er is still looking forward to it. After hearing his words, her pretty face turned red, and she bit her lip and said, "Madam is waiting for the master in the room. ."
Liu Xin was a little surprised, but Ma Yun should have already rested by this time. He had planned to come early today to talk to Ma Yun, but just after dinner, Kuai Liang sent the report. Although Liu Xin was lazy in the past, now he has to look like a lord in everything, so he had to cheer up and read the report. After that, it was a little late.
Ma Yun saw Liu Xin walk in, stood up and sat up, and said with a smile: "This busy man in our family, how can I have time to visit the slave house today?"
Liu Xin walked over to sit by the bed and smiled: "My wife, if you want to say this, I have to find a place to get in."
Ma Yun moved inside and said, "You went to the training center outside the city during the day, and you have been busy at night until now. Is there anything wrong over there?"
Ma Yun has made many useful suggestions for this training center, so she is also very concerned about the situation at the training center.
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The training center is doing well. I was reading the report sent by Kuailiang. The land and shops in the new district have been selling very hot recently. Guess what, how many accounts have been received now? "
Ma Yun took a sip, and said, "You're a money fan, I don't guess, waste brain cells."
Liu Xin took off her shoes and socks, went to bed, put Ma Yun in her arms, put her head on her shoulders, and said softly: "Well, if you don't guess, don't guess. I tell you, you have to keep your breath. These land and shops have been sold for 700 million yuan."
Ma Yun exclaimed: "What? So much!"
Liu Xin said triumphantly: "I can't think of it. I finally understand now why those real estate developers were at the top of the wealth list back then."
Ma Yun gave him a nudge, and said, "You can't get into the eyes of money to make that ambiguous money. You have to think more about Yu'er and Fan'er."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Don't worry, wife. Your husband, I am a good man, and the people in the city don't say I am good. I also did a great deed today. I am going to raise pigs and improve the food for the soldiers. ."
"Raising pigs! You are going to be a piggery!" Ma Yun twitched her nose and said, "No wonder she has a smell on her body, so she won't be allowed to sleep in my bed in the future."
Liu Xin said irritably, "I don’t need to feed the pigs myself. What’s the smell? What’s more, I just took a shower. I want to increase the protein intake of the soldiers and strengthen their physical fitness. If every morning, It would be great to be able to get them another glass of milk, but unfortunately, this one really can't be realized."
Ma Yun touched Liu Xin's forehead and said: "You are stupid, you would not use soy milk instead of milk without milk. The protein content of soybeans is not low at all."
Liu Xinyu wakes up from a dream, and with a thumbs up, he praises: "Yes, how come I didn't expect this, but my wife is smart, come, kiss and encourage me."
Ma Yun stretched out her hand to block Liu Xin's mouth and said, "Stop making trouble, my husband who is not educated and skillless, I will tell you something serious.
Liu Xin laughed and said, "It's no wonder that I haven't gone to bed so late, because I have something to tell me."
Ma Yun nodded and said, "Well, I just have something to tell you. What do you think of this girl Cai Yan?"
Liu Xin said in surprise: "Cai Yan? Why do you think of asking this? It goes without saying that she is a famous and talented woman. However, now it seems that she is not as talented as you."
Ma Yun heard her heart happily, but pretended to be angry and said: "Go, bluff! I'm not asking her talents, but what do you think she looks like?"
"Pretty!" Liu Xin somehow thought of the little feet he saw by the pond that day, blurted out, turned around and found that Ma Yun's expression was a bit wrong, and hurriedly changed her words, "Of course, you can't compare with your wife. In my heart, you are always the most beautiful."
"Poor mouth!" Ma Yun said although she knew that he must not be true, but she was still sweet in her heart, "I'm serious with you, if I promise you to marry her home, what do you think?"
Liu Xin said in disbelief, "What did you say? Let me marry her home?"
Ma Yun nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, marry her and go home. Alas, I don't know what's good about you. That girl is desperately in love with you. I think she is pitiful. Now I will ask you what you mean."
Liu Xin hesitated: "She fell in love with me? Why don't I know. Besides, how old is she, she is just a child."
Ma Yun said disdainfully: "She is only one year younger than Qiao'er. I don't think you want to run into Qiao'er's room all day."
Liu Xin said embarrassedly, "I'm not so erotic. I only went there one or two times because I was worried about interrupting your rest occasionally. However, Cai Yan is a bit difficult to handle. You also know that her father is a faceless person. She’s an old scholar, let her marry and be a concubine, I’m afraid her dad won’t agree to it anyway."
Ma Yun gave him a white look and said, "Is there anyone who talks about her future husband like this? You don't have to think about it so much. As long as you have no objection, I will figure out the rest.
