Chapter Do you have wine?

Liao Dong looked around and saw that there was no one else. It was obviously the "Your Majesty" who was letting him go. He realized this and was shocked. Why did Your Majesty call him? Could it be that the emperor recognized him and was worried that he would kill someone to silence him? Or was it because he blamed himself for his poor hospitality and asked him...

"..." Liao Dong walked to the emperor nervously, but didn't know what he called him. Should he pretend to be stupid or bow three times and pray nine times, and shout long live the mountain?

"Liao Dong, are you playing hide-and-seek with me?" Zhao Bing added the weeds to the war horses and knocked the edge of the groove with a groove stick.

"Your Majesty knows the last general?" Liao Dong's mind was confused after hearing the question. He asked in surprise without thinking.

"You have been in the palace for four or five years. How can I not know you?" Zhao Bing asked angrily.

"Hehe..." Unexpectedly, the emperor still remembered himself. Liao Dong smiled a few times in a panic, but when he saw the emperor looking at him with a very playful look, he quickly said, "It's not that he is rude, but he is really seeing His Majesty hiding his identity and dare not be abrupt!"

"Aren't you abrupt enough?" Zhao Bing knocked the groove twice with the groove stick and said, "Originally, we didn't even have a camping place, but after seeing me, you not only immediately vacated the military camp, but also set up alerts around you, fearing that others wouldn't know that there was a big man here!"

"The last one..."

"Don't move, a commander is giving a tribute to the team. Wouldn't there be no silver here?" Zhao Bing reached out to hold Liao Dongdao, who was about to give a tribute to him again.

"I just wanted to make some thoughts, but I didn't expect it to be backfired!" Liao Dong said embarrassedly.

"You are smart and have no major mistakes, but this matter must be kept confidential!" Zhao Bing reminded.

"I will ruin this matter in my heart!" Liao Dong immediately promised, and then whispered, "Do you have anything that I need to do?"

"It seems that you are doing well now!" Zhao Bing said, "The city is in order now, business has basically been restored, the supply of daily necessities is sufficient, and prices are stable."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I dare not take credit. After Neiqiu recovered, local officials quickly started their work after they arrived, and gave the list to appease the people's hearts, prevent the people from fleeing, count the population, count the land, and then redistribute the land to stabilize the people's hearts. Then, a large number of grain and materials were transported into the market at a fair price, and the situation finally stabilized temporarily!" Liao Dongyan said.

"Well, the work in Xinfudi Land is full of things. Don't be troublesome, you must be meticulous and patient." Zhao Bing nodded, expressing his affirmation of their work.

"Does Your Majesty still want to move forward?" Liao Dong saw His Majesty nodding, he said with some concern, "There are many hills in the inner hills, and there are a small group of remaining soldiers who flee into the mountains. There are also powerful people in the places who refuse to surrender. They hide in the mountains from time to time to come out to cause chaos, plunder villages and towns, and harass traffic. It is difficult to achieve the full results after several clearings. Of course, the guards around His Majesty are all brave warriors who are worthy of one hundred, so they are not afraid, but they still need to be careful on the way!"

"Well, I understand!" Zhao Bing nodded and once again reminded him not to disclose their destination for the trip, before waved to leave.

"Yes, the last one is gone!" Although Liao Dong was a little reluctant, he bowed and turned around and left.

“Hey…”

"Your Majesty has something to do?" Liao Dong thought that he had not done anything for the emperor. He was a little silent. When he heard the emperor call him again, he quickly turned around and asked.

"Do you have wine there?" Zhao Bing asked a little embarrassedly. Seeing that he showed a surprised expression, he quickly explained, "Although the supplies we sent contained wine, they were used to comfort the army, and they could not be stolen by themselves. I originally wanted to buy some in the city, but several stores were sold out. If it was difficult to find, don't make things difficult."

"Your Majesty... I bought it, but the wine here is not as good as that made from Lin'an winery!" Liao Dong's eyes heated up after hearing this. The emperor spoke carefully with him for a sip of wine, which made him feel sad.

"It's good to have wine!" Zhao Bing's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out a piece of silver and stuffed it to him.

"Your Majesty, even if you are the last one to contribute!" Liao Dong refused.

"I must accept it. Don't let me break the rules, otherwise I can't drink your wine!" Zhao Bing pulled his hand and put the silver in his hand and said seriously.

"The last general understands that the iron law in the army cannot be violated!" Liao Dong said again...

As soon as he set off today, Zhu Yu told him that he would stay in Neiqiu tonight and get together well. Zhao Bing knew that these grassroots small bureaucrats were the best at observing words and expressions. He must have seen that he had a special position in the team. He drank his imperial wine and made friends with him in order to facilitate his future. He also wanted to learn more about the following things through them and naturally enjoyed them.

However, how could Emperor Zhao Bing begs for free? After entering the city, he bought some food while the traffic jam. However, the New Year is approaching, and many passing teams will buy some wine to keep the cold. They came late, and the wine from each wine shop has been sold out. The wine is a fellow speaker. After two bowls of courage, they will talk too much, so they can talk less at night, but they cannot lack wine.

Because he stayed in the military camp in the city, there was no need to arrange so many people to pay whistle, so Zhao Bing had time. It was said that drinking was strictly prohibited during the war, but this time he went to the north, Zhao Bing had already issued an intention to distribute two taels of wine to each frontline soldiers every day to keep warm in winter to ensure combat effectiveness.

So it is not considered a violation of discipline as long as they don’t drink too much. Of course, no one can take care of the emperor if he wants to drink. It’s just that Zhao Bing doesn’t want to destroy his tall image and lose his reputation.

After feeding Ma Zhao Bing, he took the food he bought during the day to go to the appointment. Zhu Yu and his team, of course, had to take care of him. Although they did not live in a single room, they did not have to squeeze into the big kang with the people. When he entered the house, they had already entered the countryside and placed a table on the hot kang and arranged dishes, but they were only dried tobacco, jerky meat, a few radishes, cabbage and other seasonal vegetables, with few meat.

Zhao Bing handed over his stuff and ordered the chef of the transportation team to deal with it. After a while, they were all meat dishes such as braised meat, roasted rabbits, fat chickens, roast ducks, etc. Zhu Yu immediately felt a little worried about his face and said, "The Yellow Team is really not stingy. The vendors here do not collect paper money, but to bring in a few silver, several people have collected some to buy this thing!"

"Haha, I only knew about these things before leaving. I found someone to exchange them, otherwise I would have to come empty-handed!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

In fact, he knew in his heart that these people in Xinfudi had long lost trust in the banknotes issued by the Mongolian Yuan, which led to resistance to the Song Dynasty banknotes. Therefore, the court allocated gold and silver to satisfy the use of them, and the gold and silver they transported were used for this. If it is not known, it is unreasonable, but he would definitely not be able to explain it at this time.

"It was said that I was waiting for the boss, but in the end it was going to cost the Yellow Team!" Xie Bin also bowed his hands and said embarrassedly.

"Haha, but there is food but no wine right now, it's really..." Wang Qin looked at everyone and said with a wry smile.

"When I entered the city, I went to a few wine shops to buy wine, but I had no wine to buy. Fortunately, I asked him to try it out when I met a old man in the city. It should be delivered soon!" Zhao Bing looked at the embarrassing people and laughed in his heart. They must not be able to buy wine, so he was lucky enough to think that he would bring wine.

"Oh..." The few people felt extremely embarrassed when they heard this, and looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"Don't do this. We are destined to go on the same road. What are some wine and meat? We will rely on you to take care of you in the future!" Zhao Bing quickly comforted him when he saw them being discouraged.

"The Yellow Team is really a generous person, and it will be useful in the future. I dare not do my best!" Zhu Yu said with deep tribute when he saw this, and the other two people also claimed that they were.

After they said it, several people were waiting while talking. After a while, someone pushed the door in with a jar of wine. Zhu Yu and others were shocked when they saw it and stood up quickly, bowed and asked, "Is there anything Shangguan?"

"Don't be polite, this is my old acquaintance who asked to buy wine!" Zhao Bing was a little confused when he saw Liao Dong coming in, thinking that this child was so stupid that he just asked a subordinate to send it, but why did he deliver it in person?

"Yes, yes, Team Huang is working with the same army as the one in the lower place, don't be polite!" Liao Dong was actually a little confused. He didn't expect that the emperor was drinking with others. Although the few people in front of him didn't know him, he was worried that he was a high-ranking official who had hidden his identity like the emperor. He came in rashly, so he responded quickly and quickly followed the emperor's words and agreed.

"This is the commander of the first Yangzhou Division under Huaidong Road and the chief general of Neiqiu City. When I joined the army, I was my partner commander. I made great contributions during the first Northern Expedition. Now I can only look back on it!" Zhao Bing hurriedly said the words, and at the same time, he reminded Liao Dong not to let go of his words.

After hearing this, Zhu Yu and others bowed again and exchanged a few greetings. Zhao Bing introduced them to Liao Dong again, and the few people invited him to the table to drink with him. But it was not until Zhao Bing nodded secretly that he sat down next to the emperor in a panic.

The wine brought by Liao Dong was five pounds a jar, and Zhu Yu didn't dare to ask for it at this time. He personally warmed the wine and poured it for everyone. Although this wine is not as pure as the wine in the country, it is also the best wine in the local area and is still a little excited. At first, everyone was a little restrained, but the wine was bold. After drinking a few cups of hot wine, even though they didn't immediately put in a fragrant head and pray for a handful, they were much more intimate.

As soon as he got drunk, he talked more. Xie Bin, who had the worst alcohol content, mentioned the topic of being interrupted last night, which made the emperor feel like he was thinking that stopping the Northern Expedition at the moment and imitating the strategy of "recovering the Three Capitals and Heguan as the basis" decided by Duanping and Luluo, so as not to repeat the lessons of the failure of the Northern Expeditions many times at the beginning of the founding of the country.

"What do you think of this?" Xie Bin said his reasons and some of his colleagues' concerns, and then went to ask Liao Dong.
