Datang first village

Chapter 762 Northwest Labor Force [Part 2]

A banquet is just a situation. .

People in high positions, the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, are no longer enjoying the food at the banquet, but enjoying their status.

During the banquet, the materials on the flying boat were being moved down box after box.

"Your Highness, the Yiwu Army and the Gaochang Army are also soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. If one treats one more favorably than the other, it may cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of the attached soldiers. Therefore, for the laborers this time, please Your Highness bestow favor on the Yiwu and Gaochang armies." Li Xiaogong called Your Highness, not Goro, this represents a formal proposal.

Li Yuanxing didn't answer immediately, but just looked back at Wei Ting, and immediately shook his head slightly.The sight shifted to Li Chengqian and Li Ke again.

The two understood that this was waiting for their speech.

Given their age, no matter what their identities are, King Qin's inquiry can only represent a test, and does not really need their opinions.

Li Ke took a step forward and said: "Since you are loyal to my Great Tang, even if you can't have the same treatment as my Great Tang sergeant, but my Great Tang has benefited the world, and it may be a good plan to give a reward."

Li Yuanxing has been paying attention to the expressions of these two people. It is obvious that Li Chengqian bit his lip and squinted at Li Ke slightly.

When Li Ke finished speaking, Li Chengqian said: "Uncle Wuhuang, Chengqian thought that when the Tang Dynasty established the country, each class had its own distinctions. It doesn't matter if you don't reward it!"

"Very good!" Li Yuanxing nodded slightly, and said to Wei Ting: "I'm sorry for the hard work of Chang Shi. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are firing like a few shots, and the Yiwu army is the same as the Tang army. The Gaochang army is halved. Among the two armies, there are those with military merits." Reward a little."

"Yes!" Wei Ting would not ask such trivial matters as how much to reward.

What's more, he doesn't need to go in person to distribute the supplies, he just needs to come up with a plan.

Li Yuan has been observing, Li Yuanxing adopted the suggestions of two people, Li Ke's approach was not smooth enough, and there were some suspicions of striving for merit.Li Chengqian might have had an idea similar to Li Ke's, but instead of supporting Li Ke, he bit the bullet and came up with another plan.

What the two princes did was not good enough.

Li Yuan was slightly disappointed. As for Li Yuanxing, he was the best among foxes, and Li Yuan didn't comment.

At the time of the banquet, an order had been issued requiring the senior officers of each team to assemble, ordering the regiments to prepare to receive the New Year's labor rewards after dinner.

At the banquet, Li Yuanxing just greeted Ni Zhu and didn't say anything more.

After the dust-cleaning banquet, eight huge lamps illuminated an open space of about 200 mu where the flying boat was moored. A thousand guards around Li Xiaogong were in charge of guarding it, and three regiments were selected to carry it inside.In Datang, there are 100 people in one regiment, one regiment and two brigades of [-] people each, and then divided into two teams, each team has five groups, and each group has ten people.

The regular army of the Tang Dynasty stationed here in the northwest is a guard, with a full staff of 6000 people.Plus 4000 auxiliary soldiers.

Later, the armies of Yiwu and Gaochang were incorporated and reorganized, so there were more than 10 troops stationed in the Northwest Tang Dynasty alone.

The towns and garrison (shu).It also indicated that some people were sent over to collect their supplies. Only dozens of remote towns and prefectures did not come because the distance was too far.

"Your Highness, get ready!" Wei Ting whispered beside him.

Li Yuanxing took a deep breath, raised his hand, picked up a list of items written by Wang Gui, and handed it to the first lieutenant in the queue: "Don't worry about your home, everything is fine at home. Guard the border for the Tang Dynasty ,Thanks for your hard work."

"Swear to die for my Great Tang!" the captain shouted.

Next, the captain stepped back. Based on the item list, the captain called his subordinates to come in with a cart to pick up the item.

A package in a sack, what is it?The sergeants didn't know.Next, there are two hundred oiled paper bags, one hundred tin cans, one wooden box, forty altars, five bamboo baskets, and one iron box with a seal.

Li Yuanxing, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xin, the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji, Minister of the Military Department of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Zhijie, General Cheng Zhijie of the Right Martial Guard of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Weiting, Chief of the Qin Palace of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Prince Li Ke.Distribute supplies to each group in turn.

This is the royal family, and this is a gift from Tang Dynasty.

It was late at night, but it was a sleepless night.

There were noisy sounds in the barracks, and the sound of many people shouting.

Li Xiaogong ordered in front of Li Yuanxing: "Order, as long as you don't fight for grabbing things, tonight..., exempt from responsibility!"

What is the thing on the spaceship?

Outside the city of Yizhou, there is a mixed military camp.One army and five regiments, this is the Tang system.It is also impossible to form Yiwu or Gaochang into an army alone, not to mention that the court is not at ease, even Li Xiaogong himself is not at ease.

The leader of this army is a guerrilla general from the fifth rank.

The supplies of the five regiments were all piled up there, together with the 600 auxiliary soldiers of his army, a total of 100 people, lit torches and stood on the school grounds.Among them, there are two regiments of the Tang Army, two regiments of Yiwu, and one regiment of Gaochang.The auxiliary soldiers are mixed, with only 300 in Tang Dynasty, 200 in Yiwu, and [-] in Gaochang.

"What are these? I'm afraid if you don't open this one, you guys won't be able to sleep well."

Many sergeants laughed, and a school lieutenant shouted: "General, open it and have a look."

As the chief general, he naturally has a more detailed list in his hand, which was issued by his superiors, so that he can make a comparison, and if there are too few, he can ask for it again.

"This time, our army leader has seven and a half shares. The accounts are counted. The brothers in Gaochang came late, and they were given half of the share. So this is considered to be one less, but our army has two in this year. The battle exploits of eliminating the bandits, so half of the bonus was paid. Brothers in Gaochang, don’t complain, this general will be the master, and they are all brothers who eat in the same pot, and these things have been leveled.”

"The general is wise!" shouted the soldiers below.

Gaochang people didn't expect to have them, after all, they only joined for two months.With half of the share, there is already gratitude in my heart. This equalizes the share, but it is the brotherhood among the army.

"What is this sackcloth bag, let's talk about it at the end. Let's talk about the canned food first, the kimchi we got, the fish in the sea, and the fruit from Lingnan, the sweet fruit. Come on, set up a fire and burn it. Eat it Hurray!"

Is it black and white? Canned fruits should also be heated.In fact, in Tang Dynasty, many people ate fruit, but they still boiled it, and not many people actually ate it raw, so heating it was a normal thing for the people of Tang Dynasty.

Soon, the fire was built.

"Each ball, [-] roasted chickens. Don't move this thing. Dig a hole in the snow and store it. Let's eat it on New Year's Eve. Each ball has a box of candy. You must know that this candy is a precious thing. Today everyone sends One piece, keep the rest. The jar is filled with wine, as well as the top-grade red hoof, a famous dish of Prince Qin’s Mansion, which will be kept for Chinese New Year.”

All the soldiers were drooling when they heard it.

A soldier of the Tang army said to the Yiwu soldier beside him: "This is a good thing. Although it is an ordinary thing, it is not easy to make. It can't be bought in Chang'an City. Only the Qin Palace has spent so much effort on making it. It can be divided into one person. The last one, then you can even bite your fingers and eat it."

This is getting more and more drooling.

Not to mention pig's trotters, a school lieutenant didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he put a few roasted chickens wrapped in oil paper into the fire, and when heating the cans, those few roasted chickens were It exudes an incomparably delicious aroma.

"General, let's pass the New Year today, who can bear these things."

"A bunch of bastards who don't know how to save points." The general laughed and cursed.

The sergeants below also booed for a while.

"Okay, there are no generals and no big-headed soldiers here. According to five people, one will be opened first, and then ten altars of wine will be opened. Don't shout that there is less wine. This is the fairy wine from the Qin Palace brought from Chang'an. .Get it together!"

A general gave an order, and immediately dozens of school lieutenants ran forward, put on airs, put all the chickens on the shelves, and then placed them beside the fire. If the team sends people to look after us, it doesn’t matter if there are fewer at that time, whoever dares to fight, the general’s whip will not show mercy!”

Datang's military regulations were still very strict. The sergeants dared to joke with the superiors, but they dared not break the military regulations.

A basket was opened.

"What is this, not to mention you, even I have never seen it before. I heard that this is a good thing that Yaozhou just made. The first batch of it is naturally sent to the palace for the use of the Holy One. This is the first The second batch was not sold in Chang'an City, but was brought to us. I don't know if this thing is worth money. But whoever has seen such a soft and beautiful thing, I will have heard from General Li. The noble ladies of Chang’an City can’t even buy this thing in Yaozhou.”

"General, what is it?" The soldiers shouted.

"Clothes, close-fitting clothes. I'm going to tell you how good they are, but I can't say enough about them. Each person has two sets, and four pairs of socks. You only know one is good after wearing it."

It is winter now, although there is no snow, it is so cold in the northwest.

At that moment, a strong captain stripped himself naked, and was going to try on the clothes.But he was kicked down by the general: "You stink, your snow-white clothes have been soiled by you, go and wash yourself clean."

In winter, cold water, freezing cold water.Several strong captains directly brushed their bodies with brushes.

After putting on the clothes, the people in the clothes were silent. They couldn't describe the clothes in words. Only one captain said: "I'm sorry for the clothes if I don't work hard for Your Highness!"

The leading general did not speak, but just opened the iron box: "The one just now is Lao Jun, this is the reward." After finishing speaking, he took out a silver coin from the box and flicked it out forcefully, the crisp sound affected many people heart of. "Silver coins are used in wars, but soldiers are like silver coins. Who has seen them before?"

Datang silver coins, the lowest level, are those of 24 heroes.

However, Li Yuanxing specially made a non-standard silver coin with an octagonal soldier's head, weighing seven renminbi.

Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cried. The Yiwu people didn't understand, and the Gaochang people didn't understand. Only the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty knew what the silver coin represented.

"Cry, I'll cry enough today!" The leading general cut open the sackcloth bag with a knife, tore it open forcefully, and threw it down: "Look, this is a letter from your Highness's family. One, one is not bad, everyone has it!" (To be continued.)
