Chapter 163: Preparation Items

Chapter 160 Three: Preparation Items

After spending a short and warm time with his family, Zhang Jiu quickly fell into a busy life.

He didn't come back this time for a vacation, but he had his own plans. Qin Ce's fortunes and misfortunes at the border were unpredictable. Even if he was asked to play, Zhang Jiu was not in the mood.

Regarding the matter of going to the battlefield, Zhang Jiu thinks that he can't help much. The only logistics he can do, thinking of the hardships at the frontier that Qin Yi said before, Qin Ce will appear in Zhang Jiu's mind squatting on the ground, just The scene of Qingshui gnawing steamed buns and pickles may even be unable to eat steamed buns and cabbage. Every time he thinks of such a picture when he eats, Zhang Jiu will lose his appetite.

So even if it is for himself not to be able to eat anymore, he must improve the situation. He must prepare sufficient food and vegetables for Qin Ce's army so that they can eat well. I specially selected a few chefs with the best cooking skills from Huaxia Restaurant, and sent them to the border with the food I had prepared.

Many people may think that he is a bit willful in doing this, but Zhang Jiu is still firm in his determination, not only in terms of food, but also everything he can think of in terms of basic necessities of life, he will send it to Qin Ce, so that Qin Ce can have nothing. Concentrate on fighting with peace of mind.

But Zhang Jiu didn't think about it, as a prince and general, how could he be reduced to eating steamed buns and pickles?Even if Qin Ce is willing, the people around him will not agree, because Qin Ce is the favorite prince of the emperor and empress, and they dare not treat him slowly.

This is care is chaos!

Regarding Zhang Jiu's behavior, apart from what Jiang Jian said to him at the beginning, all the Zhang family acquiesced. As long as Zhang Jiu is willing, even if he wants to sell things to Qin Ce, the Zhang family will not say anything wrong. What's more, their Zhang family's current achievements are mostly due to Zhang Jiu's credit, and they have no objection to Zhang Jiu's squandering.

Besides, things like money are what their Zhang family lacks the most. If they don’t bring it with them when they live, they still worry about having nowhere to spend it. Now that Zhang Jiu is willing, it just solves this problem. They kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it?And they also believe that even if they spend all of it one day, they will have the ability to earn it back.

The cost required for a 40 army is not a small amount. No matter how powerful Zhang Jiu is, it is impossible to raise so many things at once. Even if he counts all the things in his hands, it still does not meet Zhang Jiu's requirements. , so only when buying from others.

Of course, Zhang Jiu also knows that such things as sending things to the front line cannot be done with great fanfare, and there is even a need to do it secretly. Based on these things raised, Zhang Jiu decided to send them to the border in batches and according to different routes. In case of any accident, he decided to send the last purchased items by himself.

It's fine to send the things in his farm, but he still wants to buy them when he sees Zhang Jiu. Jiang Jian couldn't sit still again, and ran to Zhang Jiu to persuade him earnestly. "Xiao Jiu, don't you know that the imperial court will provide all the military supplies for the army?"

So there was no need for him to worry that Qin Ce would not eat well or dress well.

"I know." Zhang Jiu nodded. Soldiers and horses went ahead without food and grass. This was always a prerequisite for marching and fighting. Of course, he knew this. If the court didn't provide it, why should the soldiers prepare their own dry food?

"Now that you know, why do you still send so much food and supplies?" Jiang Jian was even more puzzled. Even if he wanted Qin Ce to eat well and wear warm clothes, those were enough, plus what Zhang Jiu sent Things are definitely more than enough, and Jiang Jian can guarantee that this army is definitely the best-paid army ever.

Zhang Jiu put down the cold tea in his hand, and said unhurriedly, "The things provided by the imperial court can barely maintain their food and clothing. This is not an accident. The things I sent are I want them to go to a well-off life after they have solved their food and clothing."

What food and clothing, what well-off?Jiang Jian's sincerity was too wasteful, and it wasn't all due to his selfishness. If it wasn't for Qin Ce who also went this time, Zhang Jiu must have been too lazy to take a look. "Xiaojiu and the others are rushing to a well-off life, but do you know that there are still many people who have not even solved the problem of food and clothing?"

What does this have to do with him?He is not a savior, and there is no need to care about everyone's lives. Zhang Jiu hesitated, but he had a righteous look on his face, "Uncle Jiang, I have my reasons for doing this. Think about it, soldiers If it weren't for them and the people behind us, let alone food and clothing, I am afraid that all of them would be below the poverty line, and they might even become slaves, so don't you think it is even more important to let them enter a well-off life first? Will you lead us to a well-off life later?"

Zhang Jiu's words sounded very reasonable, and after thinking about it, it also made sense, and seemed to stand up to scrutiny, but the paradox is also the same. Jiang Jian stared at Zhang Jiu for a while, and Zhang Jiu's eloquence He has seen it many times before, and he thinks he can't compare, "Xiao Jiu, do you really want to insist on this?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Jiu smiled and nodded, and said calmly, "Uncle Jiang, you watched me grow up, you should know what kind of person I am, let alone the fact that other people have not solved the problem of food and clothing." , Even if there are beggars around me now, I will still send all the food to the border. It has nothing to do with me, I only care about the people I care about."

Jiang Jian knew that this was Zhang Jiu's sincere words. He had seen Zhang Jiu's ruthlessness with others more than once. Sometimes even he was shocked by Zhang Jiu's side, but for those who cared, Zhang Jiu absolutely Is good can not say.

At this point, Jiang Jian knew that he could not make Zhang Jiu change his mind, and he had already made such mental preparations when he came, and it was just a fluke to persuade him. "Since that's the case, you can decide for yourself, Xiaojiu. I won't say more. If there is anything I can help you, just say it."

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." The smile in Zhang Jiu's eyes deepened, his character has already been formed, he will never think of helping the world like Jiang Jian in his life, and suffering himself for the sake of the world, Zhang Jiu will only be alone, for the sake of I would rather bear the world.

Jiang Jian also knew about this, but he didn't use his own standards to ask Zhang Jiu. This is also one of the things Zhang Jiu admires Jiang Jian.

"What's there to thank, I can't help you much, you don't think I'm annoying." Jiang Jian stroked his beard and smiled, "Xiao Jiu, the second prince shouldn't have any big problems at the border. , you don’t have to worry too much, you have lost a lot of weight during this time, so don’t exhaust yourself by then.”

"Have I lost weight?" Zhang Jiu looked down at himself, "Uncle Jiang, I was talking about losing weight, but I didn't expect it to come true before I implemented it."

After subtracting it, he would only have a handful of bones left. Jiang Jian shook his head and laughed, knowing that Zhang Jiu might not want to talk about Qin Ce, so he changed the topic according to his wishes. "Xiao Jiu, where did that brat Jiang Ning go? Why didn't he come back with you?"

When Jiang Ning was mentioned, Jiang Jian's eyes were no longer so kind. Ever since he went to the capital with Zhang Jiu, let alone a figure, he hadn't even written a letter. Did he not care about family affairs at all?Jiang Jian still remembered that Jiang Ning had promised them to get married and have children as soon as possible, but what about people now?He shouldn't trust Jiang Ning easily.

Now even Zhang Jiu, who is younger than Jiang Ning, is married, but Jiang Ning has not heard from Jiang Ning for a long time. Jiang Jian can't help but feel even more headache. Together, as long as he is willing to get married, he will admit it.

"Didn't he come to the south a long time ago? Why didn't he come back?" Zhang Jiu asked suspiciously, and began to think about the reason why Jiang Ning had never entered the house three times, was he afraid of being forced to marry, or was he afraid that the matter between him and Chen Zhuo would be discussed? Jiang Jian and the others know?

He came back a long time ago, but he didn't go home. Jiang Jian's eyes gradually turned cold. It seems that he has to teach Jiang Ning a good lesson.
