Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 209 Food for the Qin Army

"Is the mansion short of money now?"

"Lack of money should not be a problem, but Mo Mansion has indeed spent a lot on the academy during this period."

Xiong Da touched his chin and replied thoughtfully.

Zhu Yeqing understood clearly after hearing this.

The funds for the construction of the academy naturally came from the treasury of the State of Qin. After all, although this 'new academy' was built in Hanzhong, it was ultimately for the State of Qin. Needless to say, this point.

But for the purpose of publicity and attracting outsiders to come to Hanzhong to 'settlement' and develop, Mr. Mo needs to make the money himself.

It sounds like a coincidence.

In order to develop Hanzhong, Mo Jun lent almost all the money he earned in previous years to the people of Hanzhong in the form of loans, resulting in almost no cash flow.

If not.

There is no need for Mo Mansion to get into trouble just for this little money.

I have to admit that even for the people in the Mo Mansion, the scale of the 'New Academy' built by Lord Mo in Hanzhong shocked them.

The size of the academy is not a big deal.

But they didn't expect that Mr. Mo would actually implement "free compulsory education". Sometimes even they can't understand what their master wants to do?

"Do you need our help?" Zhuyeqing asked.

"Needed, but not now, I still need to make some preparations."

Xiong Da said, smiled slightly at Zhuye Qing and said: "After all... these guys alone cannot satisfy the appetite of adults!"

Zhu Yeqing was startled, and then said: "Indeed, it seems that I didn't think carefully. In that case, I will solve the Xinzheng issue first, and then come back to help you."

Xiong Da nodded and said: "Okay!"

······

The five of them rested for the night in Xiong Da's courtyard.

the next day.

Six people hit the road again.

Um.

It was five when we arrived and six when we left. The reason was that Gai Nie also joined the team.

A group of people took a carriage and arrived outside Xinzheng City. At this time, Xinzheng was completely surrounded by the Qin army. Two hundred thousand Qin troops were encamped and surrounded several exits of Xinzheng City.

Under such circumstances, it would be almost impossible for even a first-rate master in the world to break into Xinzheng without some special means.

Therefore, the six people did not rush to Xinzheng.

Instead, he first entered the Qin army camp with the help of Lord Mo's token.

After that, Bai Feng, Yan Lingji, Wushuang Gui, and Gai Nie stayed in the outer camp. Only Zhu Yeqing and Heiyu walked into the inner camp to meet the commander of the Qin army.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

While the four men from Gai Nie were waiting outside the camp, they happened to see the military camp having dinner. At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, until a strong aroma of meat gradually wafted into the air, and the four of them were instantly stunned.

Meat?

There is actually meat in the army?

These days, it is quite good to have enough food when marching and fighting. Not to mention Yan Lingji, Bai Feng, and Wushuang Ghost, even Gai Nie, a famous master who came from Gui Valley, has never heard of any country. The army has such treatment!

It's okay to say that this is only the food for a certain part of the army.

But if this is the common food for the Qin army, then...

"I'm afraid these gentlemen haven't eaten yet after traveling so hard! If you don't mind it, why don't you just make do with it right here!"

Just when the four of them were surprised, the curtain was suddenly opened, and then a smiling armored soldier walked in. Judging from the token on his waist, he seemed to be a captain in the army.

"If that's the case, then I'm sorry."

The four of them had originally not wanted to have a meal in the army, but now that the other party invited them, it was natural for them to refuse.

What's more, they are indeed quite curious about the meat aroma wafting in the air.

"You're welcome. Please wait a moment, I'll have someone bring food over to you."

The captain nodded, then turned and left.

Soon.

I saw someone walking in with four large pottery bowls. The rice in the four big pottery bowls was piled high. At the same time, there was a large piece of fat meat, a piece of marinated fish, and a few pieces of rice that looked a little bit... Shrive green vegetables.

This kind of food was obviously not very good for the four people present.

But this is the army.

Even looking at the Seven Kingdoms, such food is definitely considered luxurious in the military.

"Please use it slowly."

"Wait a minute~~ Little brother, I would like to ask, are all the food here like this?" Yan Lingji held her chin in her hands. Although she didn't make any special movements, her voice sounded like With a different kind of charm.

What's more, Yan Lingji is already a peerless beauty in terms of appearance alone.

Facing the temptation of such a beauty, the soldier who delivered the meal quickly lost his focus, opened his mouth and said: "We..."

Gai Nie frowned and gently flipped the sword on his waist with his left hand, about to do something.

But before he could make any move, the curtain at the door was suddenly opened, and dazzling light shot into the tent, suddenly waking up the food delivery soldier.

The next second.

I saw the former captain walking in at a fast pace, holding a large casserole in his hand, and spoke as he walked.

"The general has an order. During the war preparations, everyone in the army will be fed equally. However, a few of them are guests from afar today, so they don't have to follow the order of the army. So I just specially ordered the fire room to provide an extra meal for a few of them. Dishes, please use them slowly."

Say it.

The captain placed the casserole in his hand on the table, and continued: "This is the 'stir-fried dish' invented by our Lord Shengping of the Qin State. The master of the army has just studied this method. Please don't dislike it."

Although the captain never mentioned what Yan Lingji had done just now, as if he didn't know anything about it.

But the other party's ability to arrive in such a 'timely' manner already speaks volumes.

After this incident.

Everyone also put away their excess curiosity.

Most of the food in the army is heavy in oil and salt, especially in the Qin army. This may be because they were used to being poor before, but now they are suddenly "rich". Most of the soldiers in the Qin army cook like nouveau riche.

Everyone just wanted to sprinkle a lot of salt on their rice.

When Yan Lingji and the four of them were eating, they felt their mouths were full of panic.

However, this allowed Yan Lingji and others to see another terrifying logistics power of the Qin Army.

In the end, Gai Nie and Bai Feng managed to finish the meal. After all, martial arts practitioners consume a lot of food. As for Yan Lingji, she only took a few bites, and the rest went into Wushuang Ghost's belly.

Not long after several people finished eating, they saw Zhu Yeqing and Hei Yu returning from the inner camp.

"The matter has been resolved, it's time for us to go."

"Now?"

"Yes, it just so happens that it's almost dark, so we'll sneak in under the cover of night. How are your preparations over there?"

Zhuye Qing looked at Bai Feng, Yan Lingji and Wushuang Ghost and said.

Under the current situation, there are two major checkpoints when entering Xinzheng from the outside world. One is the encirclement of the Qin army, and the other is the defense layer of the Korean army.

To pass the first level, you need to rely on Lord Mo's power.

The second level depends on [Liusha]’s support in Xinzheng.

"It's ready. Bai Feng will be here to inform us that we can enter Xinzheng from the south gate at midnight tonight."
