4138 Millet porridge and pickled cabbage

Taiyuan Prefecture is in the northwest of Bianjing, and there is little overlap with the march route of the Jin Bing East Route Army.

The West Route Army led by Wanyan Zonghan was still competing with the Taiyuan defenders and had not yet moved south.

Therefore, there are very few war disasters on this stretch of road.

The atmosphere around towns of all sizes is quite peaceful and peaceful.

Li He and others traveled around the mountains and rivers, riding horses and admiring the customs and customs of various states along the way.

Although it is full of dust, it still has a different flavor.

Along the way, the prefecture government learned that this was coming from Bianjing and was heading north to rescue the troops of He Shuai from Taiyuan Prefecture. They ordered people to go out of the city to greet them. After confirming their identities, they invited them into the city to hold a banquet to reward the soldiers.

It has been more than one hundred and ten days since he came to this world, and Li He is well aware of the habits of soldiers in the current era.

Not wantonly looting is considered a sign of strict military discipline.

If you want them to become a celestial army that doesn't take anything from the people, I'm afraid it won't be possible for a while.

In view of this, he was not too lenient in preventing the soldiers from collecting money and goods.

On the one hand, this is voluntarily given by state officials.

On the other hand, I also feel that the soldiers deserve all these money and materials.

If the soldiers who protect their homes and country should not receive money, then who should?

Those losers who sit in the palace and talk nonsense on paper?

Or are they those beasts who do not report, receive pensions or recruit dead soldiers, just to keep a place and eat empty pay?

Originally, Li He was a little worried about continuous fighting. The military achievements of the soldiers were only recorded but not honored, which could easily cause adverse reactions.

Now I feel more at ease, and the "rewards" along the way can more or less make up for it.

It will be perfect once we finish the battle in Taiyuan and go back to discuss merits and rewards one by one.

But then again, make up for it.

It's too much for a team of 100 people to turn into more than 500 people!

The extra ones are all kinds of logistics and transportation personnel that the various state governments proactively dispatched when they saw that the soldiers had too much stuff.

Yes, it's personnel.

Various folk men carrying bags and ladles and pulling carts.

The reason why Li He did not return to Bianjing and went straight to Taiyuan after defeating the Eastern Route Army was that he could conduct a blitz with minimal equipment and quickly gain a large number of results.

This is a good time. There is no need to think about traveling lightly. You have to take care of the common people's "birth, old age, illness and death" along the way.

Most of the people who work as coolies these days are risking their lives, not to mention being frail and sick. From time to time, accidents such as fainting and shock will occur, which makes the reincarnations miserable.

Takerokuro and other team captains persuaded the Immortal family not to worry about those who fell halfway, saying that they would naturally get up and continue walking or turn back after sleeping for a while.

But as modern people, it's not that easy to fool around. If you suddenly faint or go into shock, your life may be lost.

He intended to send all these civilians away, but found that after hearing the news, they kept kowtowing to the "immortal family" and begged not to drive them away.

Later, Li He learned from the soldiers that if these civilians were sent back, it would be a sign of incompetence and would embarrass the state officials.

The lighter version may only involve beatings, scolding and deduction of money, while the more severe punishment may be directly punished and executed.

To drive them away is to send them to death.

Several reincarnations tried to use their belts to collect various kinds of money and items.

After trying it out, I found that there are many different types of items, and it would cost at least hundreds of points to collect them with a belt.

In the mission world, everyone thinks it's a bit luxurious to spend so much money to be a transport worker.

They can't even take it back to the real world and sell it as antiques.

Even the most valuable Tongbao or porcelain won't work.

If contemporary items were brought back to modern times, they would be damned if they weren't noticed.

The appraiser will say that everything is correct, but it is too new.

Other jewelry and the like are too complicated. The diamond crown Li He brought back before was enough to give him a headache.

It's not as easy as exchanging cash.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a better way, so I had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, enough horses were harvested from the Jin soldiers, and some of the problems were solved by dividing some to help transport them.

Using war horses to carry supplies, if you want to let the scholar-bureaucrats in Bianjing know about it, I'm afraid they will have to shock a lot of them.

However, after this, Li He no longer dared to enter the state capital to receive the "entertainment" from officials.

Try to walk on small roads as much as possible, and when you are hungry and tired, go to some small towns that are not so well-informed to rest.

It saves a lot of trouble.

Until this day, the team settled in a small county town called Tongtang.

It was nearly noon, and Li He led the soldiers to have lunch luxuriously in a spacious restaurant, while Lin Kai happily led the others to have a clay oven barbecue outside the city.

I wonder if it will be nauseating if I eat something so greasy at noon.

Li He complained silently in his heart, shook his head and ate the pickled cabbage provided by the store for free, and drank the porridge made from the millet he brought with him.

The shopkeeper's face turned blue.

If it hadn't been for the lavish spending of other people traveling with him, he would have been kicked out of the store long ago.

Holding the chicken leg in his left hand, the wine bowl in his right hand, and biting the tender roasted mutton in his mouth, Wu Liulang, who was always brave and bold, asked Li He curiously: "Xianjia, why are other Xianjia not tabooing meat and vegetables, but you are the only one who sees them?"

Eat corn every day?”

Li He took a leisurely sip of the millet porridge and exclaimed: "How good millet is, it tastes good and nourishes the stomach."

The daring Takeroku took a sip of wine and said in disgust: "No one can eat the corn. It's really hard for the Immortal family."

Li He didn't mind, but asked strangely: "Yeah, why doesn't anyone want such good food? It only costs a few pennies. I bought several shi at once and couldn't finish it."

This question was too profound, and Takerokuro couldn't explain it. He could only chew the chicken leg meat and say vaguely: "Maybe it just doesn't taste good."

Li He looked at half of his shiny face and nodded in agreement: "It definitely doesn't taste good compared to meat."

Since seeing Lin Kai, Ye An and others have also started to practice internal strength, Li He said it was impossible not to care.

Perhaps it was because he had calmed down his mind by scanning Peak 72, so no matter how anxious he was, he didn't show it.

I just developed a light taste of eating porridge and vegetables. Occasionally I would eat meat if I was craving for meat, but more often I would eat salted duck eggs and other foods. I lived like a god.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and there was no one who wanted to chop off the head of the bold and daring Ten Takeroro. He spoke much more eloquently and told a lot of rumors in the market, which made Li He very happy to listen.

Liu Xiaoyi on the side was different.

He was very quiet. He just finished the food he ordered silently, and then took out the gun and carefully wiped it with a cloth as Lin Kai taught.

At this time, a small group of people, about five or six, came in outside the door of the restaurant.

He leaned on the counter of the store and shook his hands, looking around at the people in the store with a smile on his face.

The store owner walked out of the counter and gave the leader a heavy bag.

The leader weighed it, opened the bag and looked inside, frowning in displeasure.

Li He, who was very close, heard him say: "That's it?"

The store owner said helplessly: "There's a war going on over there. There are a lot fewer caravans coming and going, and there are no customers coming to eat."

The leader slapped the counter hard: "So many people think I'm blind while eating!"

The store owner said anxiously: "They have just arrived. There has been no one for a long time. It's hard to wait for so many customers to make up for the losses during these days. I can't help but pay them all! Sir, please be considerate and leave a way to survive."

"

"Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days." The leader sneered: "How to survive? I think you don't want to live anymore."

He raised his foot and kicked the shopkeeper in the abdomen. The kick made the shopkeeper bend over and hug his belly, and then retreated repeatedly. Finally, he fell to the ground and rolled half a circle.

By chance, it fell at Li He's feet.

Li He moved the stool to the side and continued eating.

The leader kicked the store owner down but did not stop, waving for others to rush in and continue kicking him.

He walked forward and stood aside and said with a smile: "You dare to try to survive with me, let me see how tough you are."

After being kicked for a few more times, the shopkeeper's mouth and nose were bleeding and he could no longer breathe.

A little girl about ten years old rushed out from the inner hall and threw herself on the storekeeper crying.

The leader took the little girl to look at her for a while and smiled.

Drag her up, hold her in your arms and rub her.

The store owner who had stopped moving suddenly started struggling violently and slammed into the leader.

But he was grabbed by others, pushed to the ground and kicked hard.

In the process, I finally bumped into the table where Li He and others were sitting, spilling the wine and shaking up the dishes.
