Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1068
Li Ji knew that Little Baga was going out with Li Qinzai, but he also turned a blind eye.Originally, it was inappropriate to bring women in the army, but this matter can be justified.

Xiao Baga's status as the eldest daughter of the Emperor of the Kingdom of Japan really helped Li Qinzai strengthen his control over the Kingdom of Japan. Before going out for the expedition, Li Qinzai asked Li Zhi for an order, and Li Zhi also agreed, and others had nothing to say.

Seeing Xiao Baga respectfully bowing down to him and calling himself "Li Shi", Li Ji's eyes flashed, and he smiled and beckoned Li Qinzai to help her up.

"You are the eldest princess of the Wa Kingdom, so you don't need to be so generous." Li Ji stroked his beard and smiled.

Little Baga bowed his head and drooped his eyes and said softly: "I am already my husband's concubine, how can I be rude in front of my grandfather."

Li Ji said with a smile: "You are with Qinzai, has he ever bullied you?"

"He... treats me very well." Little Baga blushed slightly.

Li Ji hummed, and said: "Go back to Datang after the war, let Qin Zai give you a title, and you will have children in the future..."

Li Qinzai immediately answered: "Grandpa, her and I's first child will be King Wa."

Li Ji glanced at him in surprise, then seemed to understand something, he was silent for a long time, and said indifferently: "This matter must be asked to the emperor, and you must not lie, otherwise there will be disaster."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandpa, this matter is so important, how dare grandson deceive the emperor."

After speaking, Li Qinzai winked at Little Baga, and Little Baga hurriedly took the pot with both hands.

"Grandfather, this is the chicken soup my husband cooked for you. My husband said it will nourish your body. Please taste it."

Li Ji took the earthen jar, opened the lid, and a strong smell of chicken soup came to his nostrils, Li Ji couldn't help sniffling, and said with a smile: "Okay, beautiful son and beautiful wife, it's a rare filial piety, the old man hasn't tasted it for many days Qin Zai made the soup himself."

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Grandpa, try it while it's hot. Today's chicken soup tastes different. My grandson added something good to it."

"What good things did you add?"

"I added love." Li Qinzai put two fingers together, comparing hearts, cute and cute.

Li Ji rolled his eyes, and Xiao Baga couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Ji picked up a mouthful of chicken soup with a small wooden spoon and put it into his mouth, Li Ji's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I tasted such a delicacy, and I've been eating wild vegetable dumplings every day since I left for the expedition, and I'm really tired. "

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "If grandpa likes it, grandson will make it for you every day."

"No, at this old man's age, if he can't even restrain his appetite, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Just try something new once in a while, and you don't need to waste your energy on such unnecessary things. Train your soldiers more and deal with them more. The military side is the right way."

"Grandpa, you don't need to talk about big things in front of your grandson. My grandson understands your attitude of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, but attitude is something that can be seen on the public face. What should be enjoyed in private is to enjoy it secretly. Anyway, the soldiers can’t see it.”

Li Ji frowned: "Is this how you usually lead troops? Live a hard life in front of the soldiers, and get big fish and meat behind their backs?"

Li Qinzai said confidently: "That's right, at the beginning I was doing acting, but later my grandson simply didn't bother to act, and the big fish and meat are open to eat."

Li Ji was angry: "You bastard! If a handsome man can't share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, who is willing to work for you? Who will come out to fight for you in a crisis?"

"Grandpa calm down, grandson thinks that suffering is not a necessary condition for flaunting morality and noble personality. Wouldn't it be better if everyone didn't have to suffer?"

Li Ji sneered: "The old man would like to hear a good opinion."

"To be handsome, you don't have to eat wild vegetable dumplings with the soldiers to share the joys and sorrows. If the soldiers can eat meat, they will be rewarded every time they go to battle. Every gram will be a city. Won't you loyally support me as the coach?"

"Instead of performing eating wild vegetable dumplings in front of the soldiers, it is better to focus on how to improve the food for the soldiers. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to eat meat together?"

Li Ji gritted his teeth: "The old man beat you 'cool'! There are tens of thousands of mouths in the army, where did you get so much meat?"

Seeing the quarrel between grandparents and grandchildren, the little Baga next to him couldn't help being a little scared, but he mustered up his courage and said weakly: "My lord, grandpa..."

"My husband, he...has spent a lot of thought on food and grass. As far as I know, my husband ransacked the official warehouses every gram and collected all kinds of meat. The soldiers did eat meat every meal. There are many, but everyone is very satisfied..."

"What's more, since my husband led the army, he has given rewards to the soldiers intermittently. Now the soldiers of the Tang Army under his command have received a lot of benefits, and each of them speaks less than a hundred words..."

"This does not include the income of the soldiers who plundered the city. The wounded or the dead are even more rewarding. The soldiers are very supportive of their husbands. People before and after praise him for loving soldiers like sons."

Li Ji was stunned again, and said in astonishment: "Just counting our Tang soldiers, you have nearly [-] soldiers and horses under your command, each of whom gets a hundred coins, that is... thousands of coins? Where did you get so much money for marching and fighting? "

It's no wonder that Li Ji was surprised. These days, ordinary government soldiers carry a hundred coins in their pockets, which is already quite a fortune.

Although prices are a little higher these days than during the Zhenguan period, they are not too high. Prices in Chang'an and the two cities are stable, "eight coins for rice buckets."

That is to say, eight renminbi can buy a bucket of rice, which is equal to twelve catties. One hundred renminbi is enough to support a family for a whole year, and it can also eat meat.

This is only the money that Li Qinzai rewarded the soldiers on the surface, if you add the income that the soldiers plundered the city...

Is this really a war?It is clear that the bandits went down the mountain to make a fortune.

Li Ji's face was a bit ugly, and there was a lot of confusion in his expression. The money didn't fall from the sky, so where did this evil animal get the money?

Li Qinzai was startled immediately, his expression was a little weak, and he said with a dry smile, "Grandpa, don't bother with these trivial matters, drink the soup while it's hot..."

As he said that, he hurriedly winked at Little Baga, and told her with sharp eyes, shut up right now.

Unexpectedly, Little Baga didn't see Li Qinzai's eyes at all, and subconsciously said: "Husband and Mr. Xue's family have been doing business since the Japanese kingdom, and they have made a lot of money. Thousands of coins are just a drop in the bucket for my husband... Huh. "

Li Qinzai quickly covered her mouth with his eyes, then quickly glanced at Li Ji, and said with a dry smile: "This little Baga is a foreigner after all, and he can't speak Guanzhong well, and his sentences are mixed with Japanese dialect. Grandpa, don't get it wrong, she didn't mean that... ..."

But Li Ji had heard what he should have heard, and his face was ashen.

"How dare you do business in private during the war? The beasts are so rampant, this old man must clean up the house for the Li family today!"
