While Ke Tu was waiting for the generals to be in a bad mood, their soldiers lived very well.
Since these days, they have been able to eat good meals that they can’t normally eat. The white steamed buns and the rice that is very comfortable to bite in, plus the supply of vegetables and meat, make them feel that this time they come out is not a war, but a blessing. .
Especially when the night is heavy, the person in charge of the night watch can still get a small glass of wine. It looks a little bit less, but it is much stronger than the previous drink. Only a small glass can get the whole body from the inside. It's warm outside.
The soldiers had already liked such days one by one. The only thing that was a bit unhappy was that the 1,000 people and hundreds of guards who followed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not eat the same food as their own and others.
For example, what I ate here last night was one portion of fish, two portions of green vegetables, which were eggplant and cucumber, and a bowl of lamb soup.
But the person who came with Zhang Xiaobao ate eggplant and cabbage, the meat dish was braised pork, and a bowl of egg drop soup, that’s fine. After all, the fish I ate here is braised fish, although the taste is good. Almost.
But eggplant and cabbage are not vegetarian dishes at all. Whose vegetarian dish is called Roumo eggplant? Whose vegetable dish has shredded pork in it
Whether you are envious or jealous, you can never complain.
"I'm not complaining." A Khitan soldier in charge of the night watch with a glass of warm wine in his hand, gently licked twice with his tongue, said to the same night watchman next to him, and then continued: "This life is worth it, every day. There is meat, and the night watch has wine. Since I was young, I have never had such a good wine before."
The other person felt the same, using his nose to sniff on the wine glass, "Unfortunately, tomorrow I will switch to someone else's night watch, and I will discuss with them how hard it is that they will not do it. I will voluntarily take on the hard work of the night watch.
I'm afraid now, I'm afraid that I will follow along the way, come back from a victorious battle, leave Zhang Cishi and Wang to join the army, how to live in the future, and now I understand why people's subordinates are so effective and eat well. "
"Be quiet, don't let people listen, or even if you don’t die, you will lose your skin. I really regretted not going to Jilizhou to serve as a soldier. If I brought my family along with me, oh... I dare not think, dare not think. what."
The previous speaker lowered his voice, looked around nervously, and exhaled when no one was paying attention here.
The two continued to watch the night while sipping their wine little by little, and the same thing was happening on different boats.
But how could Suu Yu not hear any news? But he has no way. He can't keep his subordinates from eating the meals provided by Zhang Wang's family. Then where can he go to find the food supply subordinates
The subordinates are used to eating the food of the Kings and Kings of Zhang, will it be possible to raise them according to the food of Kings and Kings when they return to the Dudu's House
"Order it down so that people can find someone to buy Croton as soon as possible. They are about to arrive in Luoyang, and they will be handed over there. Once Croton is handed over, they will be used by others."
Suddenly, there is a feeling of living like years, wishing to grow a pair of wings and fly outside to bring Croton back.
The subordinates who had been in charge of waiting agreed and carefully left the cabin to make arrangements. It was also very troublesome to contact people outside. At that time, they would have to send Croton to each ship, and one negligence could be discovered.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have already arranged some things for Ke Tuyu, and they are also waiting for the time to come.
"Xiaobao, things at the bank are now stable. Do you have any plans for the next step?" Wang Juan lay on the bed, resting his head on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder, and whispered.
Zhang Xiaobao knows what Wang Juan asked, which is the same interest issue as when the national debt was issued some time ago. The bank now saves money without paying any extra fees.
Since the introduction of such measures by banks, other places that specialize in exchanging money for people have to find other ways to collect funds, and no one wants to go to them to deposit.
At the beginning, there were a lot of shops that wanted to stand up, but as the court bought a lot of silk, it was only when time was about to end that they felt the court's determination and strength.
Seeing others coming over to take away a large amount of money and transfer it to the bank, they had to implement exchange and preservation without any fees like Datang Bank. Otherwise, all the people who deposited money here would come to withdraw the money together. Simply can't afford it.
A lot of money has already been released in the form of loan sharks, but it is still too late to receive it.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiaobao has not introduced the issue of deposits for interest. He is afraid that it will have too much impact on other financial industries.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan: "Is it too early? You have to know that once you deposit interest, then the currency depreciation has begun, in order to make the people feel that their money has not depreciated. , Then the only thing to do is to increase productivity. We are now in the process of researching various science and technology, and we have not yet applied it."
"Then take it out." Wang Juan also knows the situation. If the productivity is not developed, then the depreciation is the real depreciation. If the productivity can keep up, a balance between supply and demand can be achieved. The more developed the productivity, the more people live. The better.
"Xiaobao, it will be easier for the people to take it out." Wang Juan added.
"Fortunately, they won't be content, have you read history books? I haven't studied it systematically, but I also know the thinking of human life. In the past, it was called just liberation, right? At that time, a penny could buy a large piece. Of fermented bean curd.
Where are we? There are no points or hairs. A piece of milk rot is one dollar, which is still small. It should be regarded as a currency depreciation. It has depreciated by more than a hundred times. Nearly ten thousand yuan a month, that is low.
But our people at that time complained about the high prices, because the luxury goods were expensive, and some people made more money. How do you say that, it's called..."
"Don’t worry about widowhood and suffer from unevenness, do you mean that in order to let the people now live in the happiness of underdeveloped productivity forever, and prevent them from transitioning to the unevenness of being able to eat a lot and wear beautiful clothes? Times? I disagree."
When Wang Juan heard what Zhang Xiaobao said, he wondered what he wanted to do, but he knew very well that the development of the times wanted to rely on someone's power to interfere. It could only be delayed, but could not be stopped.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "I don't agree. I mean, anyway, if we develop our productivity well, others won't follow us. Why bother to release all the technology at once, bit by bit, and let's Just make a lot of money and invest a lot in scientific research.
In order to have more money invested in the benefit of the people in the future, we need to continue to accumulate a large amount of money, so as not to burden the court, nor to exploit the working people. Therefore, waiting for interest matters can be regarded as helping financial colleagues. A handful. "
"Okay, you can find any excuses. Just say that you want to make money and it will be over. Whatever comes out of your mouth will change. Sure enough, there is no good person in the business."
Wang Juan was about to be confused by Zhang Xiaobao just now, and he didn't realize until Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, it was nothing more than an excuse.
"Yes, whoever is a good person to do business, is going to be an official, a good person, a good official, isn't it?" Zhang Xiaobao muttered.
"I have nothing to say to you, when you are asleep, point it over there, don't take your arm away, and still sit on your pillow." Wang Juan also murmured, pulling Zhang Xiaobao's arm and putting his head on it.
"It's numb, it's numb, I have to stimulate them tomorrow to make them firm up their minds. I heard that some girls will marry children when they are 13 or 4 years old. Are we going to be soon too?"
"I heard that the eunuch doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing all his life, I can help you."
…
At dawn the next day, Beckham's group of little guys began to train their one hundred teenage guards, doing morning exercises on the deck, yelling, really like that.
The guards brought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, as well as the thousand sergeants, also exercised in a small area. The other 40,000 people were already immersed in the fragrance of the food, which was not worse than Wenrouxiang.
Today’s breakfast was pork buns. The chopped minced meat was filled with green onions. I didn’t wait to eat it. It was only served, and the tangy fragrance made people drool, plus the meat pickles and tofu brains, and the leeks. Flowers, eat in your mouth, just like the New Year.
Sure enough, Suu Yu's face became more gloomy after he knew what he had for breakfast today. The other generals also regretted in their hearts. They had known that they hadn't brought people here personally. They belonged to their own troops and wanted to win over them when they returned home. People's hearts are estimated to have to spend a lot of money.
The days were depressed for a small group of people, and a large group of people passed it happily. When the fleet arrived in Luoyang, that small group of people also became happy, waiting one by one to get Croton from Luoyang.
In Luoyang, the ship needs to be stopped for a day for rest. The main reason is that Queen Wang’s two children need to be sent to the homes of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They cannot bring the two babies to war.
Seeing that the two of Pan'er were about to be sent away, Beckham reluctantly reached out and touched Pan'er's face, then bowed her head and kissed "My dear baby, don't worry, it won't take long. My elder sister will bring the soldiers back from the victorious battle, and then you will be able to grow up and take you to swim. It's very simple."
Pan'er blinked, looked curiously on the bodies of several people, and finally cried.
It wasn’t because of parting that they cried, but the people who hugged the two of them were not familiar with them. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s mother just happened to be dumb and nothing to do, and their children were not around. Now it’s a solution to send two little guys. A boring one.
After staying with Xiaobei and others for a day, when the fleet was about to move on, they told me to pick up the two children who were still admitted and leave.
When the cries faded away, the fleet embarked on a new journey.
…
In the cabin, he suddenly looked at the big bag and big bag of croton that Luo was there, and looked very nervous, and asked the person who was going to work: "Have someone else followed?"
"No, the little one looked carefully, not to mention that the little one used to buy other things as an excuse. Who knew there were so many crotons in the goods he brought back?"
The person in charge shook his head resolutely and promised that, let alone no one else found out, even if he did, he would not dare to say that he would lose his head.
She suddenly licked her lips with her tongue, then bite and pressed, and said, "Try to pass it on to another ship, and do it at the same time in the evening two days later. If this matter is leaked, then you..."
"The little one understands that if it is leaked, it is done by the little one alone, and has nothing to do with the general. At that time, the family of the little one should also wait for the army to take care of it."
How can the person who does the job do not know what Ke Suuyu means, and if there is a problem, he needs to deal with the crime himself, even if he does not want to do this, but he has no right to choose.
"Go, your benefits will be indispensable after the matter is done." But Yu suddenly commanded, took a few deep breaths, no longer cared about the croton in this cabin, and walked outside as if nothing had happened before and looked at the river. View.
Since we are going to the desert, we don’t have to travel over Jiannan Road anymore. This makes Zhang Fang brothers and sisters very regretful. They can only find a way to discuss with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and let them go home. Look, or bring the family in.
You don't need to go by land, you just walk along the Yellow River, to be precise, you pass by the capital, and then enter Jingshui.
Suddenly, I was looking at a bridge on the river in shock. The water of the Yellow River was surging and hit the ship's side. Compared with the bridge across the two banks, the surging water seemed less shocking. .
"What's the name of this bridge?" Ke Yu suddenly looked at the pedestrians on the bridge and asked the soldiers guarding here.
"If you go back to the general, this bridge is called the Third Bridge of the Yellow River. It hasn't been named yet. I've heard about it. It's not easy to name it. If anyone is willing to put out a thousand times, he can name the bridge this year, and it will be like next year. I want to continue naming, but I have to pay more."
Soldiers think that they usually communicate with others and know a lot.
"The third bridge? So there are the first and second bridges? I have to give a thousand titles to name them? Is anyone really stupid enough to do it?"
But Suddenly, I haven't seen the bridge last time. This time there is one. It seems that there is more than one, which makes him feel strange. What is even more strange is to spend money to name it.
The soldier said: "Yes, the first bridge and the second bridge have been named. The first bridge is called Wanzhangbuhang, and the second bridge is called Weishui Chuanyun. General, this bridge was built by the King Zhang and his family. The Zhang family’s skills are so great that they can build a bridge over the river, and the food they usually eat. Yesterday they added another dish."
"Okay, you can eat it. It's not small, it's really not small." But Suuyu really didn't know that the bridge was built by King Zhang's family. Today, I saw with my own eyes that not only did he fail to applaud Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but he felt even more emotional. Heaviness, the greater the abilities of their two families, the more sad their days in the governor’s mansion.
The court no longer cares about its own military power.
