Chapter 224 Reminder
Sure enough, Zhao Bing's itinerary the next day was like Huang Xianyao's "arrangement". He reviewed the former army in the morning and had dinner with the military generals in the camp at noon, and the same food as the soldiers.?? w?w?w?
?b i?q?u g?e?.
?c?n? In the afternoon, we summoned several generals and guerrilla commanders who were familiar with each other in the army, but we did not see the prepared commanders. After the talks, we had already reached the meal and were still having meals in the camp.
"Master, this group of food is too much money!" His Highness inspected the situation and had to pay for food. Everyone was accustomed to it and followed suit. Of course, Huang Xianyao knew it, but when he took it, he saw that the number was much higher, and asked Wang De in confusion.
"Not many, we came a total of 30 people, among which His Highness and Fushuai ate the middle stove, and the rest of them were all big stoves, and the two meals were just the right amount!" Wang De settled the score for him.
"Yes, but you've got enough food for a small stove!" Huang Xianyao said.
"Haha, Your Highness said that he had eaten all the way from Qiongzhou. The food in each army was good, and the big stove was better than their small stove! So..." Wang De looked at Huang Xianyao and said with a smile.
"What you eat is better, then you can't let Your Highness pay for the food according to the small kitchen!" Huang Xianyao said with a gloomy face.
"Haha, Your Highness has a few more words to ask General Huang!" Wang De smiled again, but there seemed to be something more ridiculous, which made people uncomfortable to hear.
"Dian... what is your highness asking?" Huang Xianyao and Wang De were familiar with each other, so naturally they could also hear the murderous intent.
"Your Highness asked you how much military expenses you have deducted? But still remember the iron rule in the mansion!" Wang De said coldly at this moment.
"Master, I... how dare I embezzle military expenses? Please let Your Highness take a look!" Huang Xianyao stood up all over his hair and said in panic. He knew that His Highness was the most severe dealing with those who embezzled military expenses, and would not show mercy. The prince did not come to ask in person, which made Huang Xianyao even more panicked, which showed that he did not even plan to defend himself.
"Your Highness also asked, since you have not embezzled military expenses, where did the target food money come from? Did you misappropriate other expenses?" Wang De asked again.
"Master, my subordinates keep in mind your highness's teachings and never dare to forget them at all times. They will never dare to do anything to embezzle military spending!" Huang Xianyao knelt down and said seriously, with his face full of cold sweat.
"Hmph, since that's the case, you must do things in the future. The Tartars' sword is not made of wood, nor is it made of paper. Don't always think about playing with some tricks!" Wang De said in his tone.
"I've written it down!" Huang Xianyao kowtowed.
"Go up quickly, Your Highness knows that you have spent a few days on the food cost to one day. Let me tell you that you must not do this again in the future, so as not to let the soldiers underestimate you!" Wang De helped Huang Xianyao up and said, but he found that his legs and feet were a little weak, and he couldn't help but feel funny.
"Thank you, the great official!" Huang Xianyao wiped the sweat from his face, and said steadily, "Master, how can your highness know?"
"Huang Zheng, you are also an old man in the mansion, so I will say a few more words to you." Wang De bent down and dusted the soil on Huang Xianyao's knees and said, "Although your highness lives in the mansion, it is rare to go out, but it is different from the princes and princes in the past. He not only knows what the Tartars are going to do, but also knows how much pounds of mutton are on the market in Qiongzhou, what is the price of Jiyang Army radish and cabbage. So don't play with some stupid things in front of the palace, it's all clever and can't accomplish anything."
"I'm taught by you, please tell Your Highness, Mr. Huang doesn't dare anymore!" Huang Xianyao said with a bow to the end.
"Since you know you're wrong, just accept the money!" Wang De put the money in his hand and said...
On the third day, after breakfast, He Rende went to the backyard to pay his respects to His Highness, but no one came out for a long time. When the sun rose, he couldn't help but ask and found out that His Highness and Fushuai went out as soon as dawn. As for where they went, they didn't know. The city was so big that He Rende soon found out that His Highness and his guards went eastward with their guards, and did not alarm anyone. This was very different from what Huang Xianyao said, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Sir, you said that the Mongol horses were short enough. I didn't expect that the horses here were smaller and not as tall as the donkey!" The group of people outside the city walked slowly, while Zhao Bing was riding on the horse. But even so, he was not as good as Ni Lianggao who was leading the horse in front, and couldn't help complaining. Today he thought about going outside the city. Ni Liang thought that it was inconvenient to sit in a sedan chair, and when he walked away, he was worried that the old and Fushuai, the old man, were not strong enough, so he found a few horses for them to ride, with luggage.
"Your Highness, although this horse is only three feet long, it is very steady. It is like flying through the forest and mountain roads. It can not only ride, but also pull a cart!" Ying Jieyan is not small. If his feet are pedaled, he will bend his knees and bow his body. He simply droops his legs. It is uncomfortable to see that he patted his seat and got off the horse and smiled.
"What I mean is that one place has water and soil to support the other people. The mountains are high and dense, and the mountain roads are narrow, but they are more flexible than those tall and big horses." Zhao Bing smiled helplessly. He had seen such hors in his previous life, but they were all seen in zoos. He always thought it was introduced by foreign countries, but he did not expect it to be produced in Hainan.
"Your Highness is right. The Mongolian horses we brought from Guangzhou are not resistant to heat here, are prone to illness, and are not easy to raise!" Ying Jieyan said.
"Your Highness looks down on these ponies, but the Chameng people treat them as treasures and send people to Jiyang Army to purchase them every year to supply them for military use."
"Well, then in the future, our army will also raise some local horses. In the future, we can transport military supplies when entering the mountains. It will always be more people and faster!" Zhao Bing said.
"Your Highness said right. This horse must be absolutely forbidden to be exported to the outside world in the future, and the court will uniformly purchase and supply military supplies." Ying Jieyan thought about it. He knew that war horses were the most important strategic materials at any time, and the general's army had only the batch of war horses seized and bribed from Guangzhou. It was not easy to replenish them and they still needed to be bought from the local area.
"Yes, in the future, food, copper, iron, gold, silver, and livestock are only allowed to enter and not leave. These materials are scarce items on the island. Once the war lasts for a long time, they will not be able to buy them even if they have money." Zhao Bing nodded and said.
"Yes, when I got back, I discussed with the Maritime Bureau, listed the article and reported it to Your Highness. This matter cannot be delayed." Ying Jieyanshen thought it was authentic.
"Your Highness, where should we go? Why not ask the Zhijun to accompany you, and you can't even find the road!" Seeing that the city was getting farther and farther away, the road was getting narrower and narrower, but before His Highness could stop, Ni Liang couldn't help but worry.
"Your Highness, I wonder why I didn't want He Zhijun to accompany him?" Ying Jieyan also asked curiously.
