I am Da Song

Chapter 18 The Empress Who Lives Through the Ages

The Shangshi Bureau of Dianzhong Province is only a posting official. According to the official system of the Song Dynasty, the establishment of Shangshi Bureau belongs to Dianzhong Province.Then the officials of the Dianzhong Province will definitely not manage the Shangshi Bureau. The official who actually manages the Shangshi Bureau is called Yuchu. Although this name is relatively bad in later generations, but at this time, he is a very serious and powerful official title.

When Zhao Huan arrived at the Shangshi Bureau, a large number of officials, servants, and court ladies were like busy ants, carrying the ingredients nervously and hurriedly.

The beautiful queen (Note 1) in the crowd wearing a blue double-breasted collar Juyi looks like a fairy who is independent from the world. Although there are many people coming and going, everyone can notice that she is upright in the crowd. A queen of outstanding temperament.

After all, she was the daughter-in-law personally selected by Song Huizong, the first emperor of art throughout the ages. Empress Zhu Lian was the top existence among the billions of people in the Song Dynasty in terms of appearance, figure, temperament and virtue.

Zhao Huan stood beside the queen, and Zhu Lian, who was instructing the palace staff, noticed his husband. He put his hands together in front of his belly, bent his knees slightly, bowed his head in salute, and asked, "When did the official come here?"

"Just arrived. How is the situation? Is it going well?" Zhao Huan asked after glancing at the rushing crowd.

"Although there were twists and turns, it was smooth. At first, the imperial chef categorically rejected Yu's request, saying that the inner palace is not allowed to interfere in politics."

Zhao Huan was stunned, the backbone of the scholar-bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty was really used to bully women and children, and half of them were used to resist foreign enemies, so they would not be so humiliated by the Jin army.

"Looking at the turbulent situation in front of me, it doesn't seem to be blocked. How did the saint persuade the imperial chef?"

Zhu Lian looked at Zhao Huan, smiled coquettishly, and said, "The imperial chef is just an elm lump. Even if I moved out of the official house a few days ago and rewarded the soldiers with imperial food, I still can't persuade him. I must have the official edict to communicate with him." The chancellor has attached chapters. I can only find another way."

Speaking of this, two red clouds floated on Zhu Lian's beautiful face, she lowered her head shyly, and said, "I told the imperial chef that the official family's appetite has increased recently, and one person can eat tens of thousands of rations in the past. Although the imperial chef knows about Yu You are messing around, but you dare not bear the crime of starving your majesty, so you can only prepare more meals with all your strength."

"Hahaha! Very good, the queen is really smart and considerate, she is my good wife. My appetite has really increased recently. The job of the royal chef is to take care of my food. If I can't do my job well, I will suffer from hunger , you can abdicate yourself to the virtuous!" Zhao Huan laughed heartily.As for this excuse, compared to the more than 100 dishes a meal of the old woman in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhao Huan's appetite is a bit larger, which seems more acceptable.

In the end, it was nothing more than wasting all the food left by the old woman, and Zhao Huan gave the excess food to the soldiers of the imperial army.With the virtue of a feudal ruler, it is not surprising to do anything that breaks through the lower limit.

"Officials, although the food is almost ready, it is not easy to give it to the soldiers of the Imperial Army. The eunuchs are weak, and it was too late to deliver food to the palace ladies in the past. Many palace ladies can only eat cold soup. Hope the officials Can think of a complete solution."

Zhao Huan thought about it for a moment, and said helplessly, "I don't have a good solution either."

Even in future generations, ensuring that frontline soldiers can have a hot meal is an extremely challenging task for the military's organizational capabilities.

But at present, there are no insulation measures, and there are not so many food delivery tools. I want to pack and pack more than 1 hot meals and deliver them to each soldier precisely... If Da Song had this organizational ability, it would be too late. Being bullied like this by Jin Guo?
"What should I do?" Zhu Lian asked anxiously: "The Shangshi Bureau has been preparing the ingredients since the early morning, and it is not easy to prepare the lunch at noon. Is it because the delivery is not enough, so the soldiers of the imperial army still have to eat cold food? Soup cold broiler?"

Therefore, the later celestial dynasties concluded that people are more important in war.Without good organizational skills, no matter how much wealth you have, no matter how sophisticated your weapons are, it is useless.

The shortcoming of the Song army's large-scale operations is that the army is not in charge of logistics.As long as the scale is large, the problem of the Song Army's weak logistics supply will be fully exposed.Even if Zhao Huan was an emperor, he couldn't think of which army or which department should be responsible for supplying the army's food.

It is obviously too late to form an army now.Zhao Huan could only order: "Let the Shangshi Bureau prepare food, and the troops will enter the palace according to the formation. Every two commanders (1000 people) will eat directly in front of the Shangshi Bureau."

Think of Shangshiju as a barracks restaurant.

Zhao Huan continued to order: "If there is not enough tableware, go to the private hotel to requisition. Prepare at least [-] sets, and directly serve the soldiers. Set up a special person to wash the cups and plates after the soldiers finished eating. After the soldiers finished eating, they quickly left in line and changed The next team will come and eat."

Obviously, this is the standard procedure of fast-food restaurants in later generations.What are the advantages of fast food restaurants?Naturally, it can quickly entertain a large number of customers in an assembly line.

Zhu Lian frowned slightly, and asked: "Officials, let the forbidden army enter the palace directly? This may damage the reputation of the palace."

Zhao Huan sighed, full of a deep sense of powerlessness towards this era.The whole world is like a viscous muck pile, and I am deeply trapped in it, and everything I do is restricted by invisible resistance.

As long as you promulgate a government order yourself, there will inevitably be people who are worried and dissuaded.

So Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "Okay, the sage doesn't need to persuade him any more, it's settled like this. In everything we do, we must consider the laws of our ancestors. How can we let go of things and overcome the national crisis? There is no forbidden army in the palace. I believe that the queen and Concubines and concubines who can conceive and behave cleanly will be chaste."

As long as the peerless queen can keep her chastity, Zhao Huan has never even seen the others, and doesn't care.Even if there is a tauren plot, Zhao Huan remembers that many LSPs in later generations would like to hear about it, so let him go.Anyway, these people are Song Qinzong's palace, and he will be dismissed from the palace in the future.

Compared with the rapes suffered by Zhao Song's concubines during the Jingkang disaster in history, the humiliation on the emperor's head, the so-called loss of reputation and gossip are not worth mentioning.

In the end, Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian and said: "The most urgent task is to boost the morale of the army, defend Tokyo, and continue our Great Song Guozuo. At this time of national crisis, there is no need to care about too many red tapes. Let the forbidden concubines and palace maids go to the palace to help with food and cleaning Plates, tailoring and sewing shoes."

The powerful aura of the Da Song official at the moment made Zhu Lian's heart beat wildly, his pretty face blushed, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into the official's bold eyes, and replied: "Commander Yu Ding, everyone in the palace, work together, work together The government and the family help the country together.”

Zhao Huan is a straight man of steel. He didn't notice that the queen's daughter was shy and uninterested. He continued to talk about other important matters without pausing, and said, "I'm about to go to the Ming Hall to discuss matters with the prime ministers. I know that there are still 400 million horses in the forbidden warehouse. Silk, the sage can organize the Shangyi Bureau, palace servants, servants, eunuchs, etc. to sew winter clothes for the imperial army later. It can also be distributed to the common people, so that the common people can actively participate in sewing. There is no need to be stingy with wealth, as long as the common people can sew a set For winter clothes, three or five bolts, or even ten bolts of silk, are fine for each household.”

400 million bolts of silk, the wealth accumulated by Song Dynasty for many years, when the country is at the end of the road, it is time to explode its value.Even if each household is given ten bolts of silk to make a set of winter clothes, they can quickly sew 40 sets of winter clothes.

With so many winter clothes, Zhao Huan did not believe that the Forbidden Army would be trapped in the severe cold.No matter how you look at it, this is more valuable than giving the silk and silk to the Jin army for peace.

Hearing the official's serious words, Zhu Lian showed a helpless smile, and said with relief: "The official can go and meet with the prime ministers, I will do my best to manage the food and clothing of the imperial army."

"Then I will go to Mingtang first."
