There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 331 Special purpose, secret book.

"My lords, the three hundred guards in the back are too much to eat. I want to ask if I can provide some more supplies?" The Governor and Ambassador Cang came with the Huotou Army.

The governor is the person who manages the logistics. He is in charge of all the supplies. Now there are 300 more people.

As a result, when these people heard that they could eat as much as they wanted, okay?

Eating is called a speed!

And eat a lot!

Ambassador Cang couldn't take it anymore.

With a little less, he can add some more purchases next time he manages the luggage, but if he loses too much at once, it will not work.

So the governor was notified, and the governor took him, and Huotoujun, to find Wantong and Wu Youwei.

In this barren mountain and wild place, they have money but can't buy it!

You can't hide this matter, you can only report it truthfully.

After hearing this, Wantong pointed to Wu Youwei and laughed loudly: "No wonder I have to rely on you!"

Wu Youwei wiped his face: "The next time I replenish, the money will come from me."

"Hey, hey!" Now that someone paid for it, the three of them felt relieved.

"However, feed them well." Wu Youwei said: "At the next stop, remember to buy more meat. Not only them, but we also have to eat. We must eat and sleep in the open along the way."

"Yes, my lord!" The three of them clasped their fists together and saluted excitedly before leaving.

Wu Youwei asked Wantong inexplicably, "What are they excited about?"

"Eat, let's eat!" Wantong told him while picking up food for him: "Generally, it is not bad for the army to carry meat on their shoulders a few times a month, but you are fine. Once you open your mouth, you will see meat every day, and you don't care about it." If you are full, can they not thank you?" "I just won't say, don't they live like this." Wu Youwei said: "If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. In the same way, if you want If you want to train well, you have to give them a good body and a big camp where they don’t go hungry.” Since ancient times, there has been a saying that “good irons don’t turn nails, and good men don’t serve as soldiers.” Being a soldier is more important than good iron nails. Hard work, so military households had no status in ancient times, and they were not as good as ordinary people. "In our place, soldiers have to ask for help!" Wu Youwei curled his lips: "It's really different.

"When you get there, build the military factory first." Wan Tao said: "I know that those things you made are hot weapons, if they are really effective, the Ming army will no longer be afraid of those tartars.

"Actually, in our era, force was more of a deterrent, and there were many ways to calm them down." Wu Youwei said while eating: "Let's take our time, maybe in a few years, we will You can also travel abroad...

...

"Traveling?" Wantong sneered, "I hope so!

Wu Youwei thought of the messy tourist attractions for ethnic minorities in later generations, and immediately felt that this idea was good.

Think about the scenery on the frontier of "the wind blows the grass and see the cattle and sheep", look at the beautiful scenery of Lijiang, Dali, Yunnan...

After dinner, Wu Youwei took a special look at the three hundred guards. When they left, each of them carried a small bag on their backs. There were thin quilts, two clean clothes and a pair of shoes inside.

This seems to be their standard equipment, everyone is dressed like this, but Wu Youwei's twenty or so students came over to have a good chat with them.

Seeing that they all got along well, Wu Youwei simply asked the students to take care of these big brothers.

Of the three hundred guards, twenty-five was the largest and fifteen was the youngest. They were all tall and burly, with protruding muscles, but they had simple and honest smiles.

At first glance, he looks like a martial arts student from an honest family.

Seeing Wu Youwei, he originally called "Master", but Wu Youwei felt that it was not good, and it didn't please his ears: "Don't call me Master, just call your lord."

What he hired were guards and not the thugs of the family. These people were all good citizens from innocent families.

"My lord!" Well, you can call it whatever you want, they don't choose.

As long as you can manage your fullness, you don't pick them when you sleep, but Wu Youwei is afraid that they will be cold, so he asks them to cover them with thicker quilts.

Who knows these people say no.

The reason is that their martial arts practitioners are full of blood, and it is too hot to cover them with too thick quilts. In addition, the temperature gets higher as you go south. Don't look at March and April, it's still cold in the capital, and it's already spring here.

The reason why the quilts were very thin was because Wu Youwei was going to Songjiang Mansion, and the place was very hot, and there was no snow all year round.

Wu Youwei understood, this is very forward-looking.

But I was still afraid that they would be cold, so I burned a little charcoal before going to bed to ensure the temperature in the tent.

In order to keep warm, the tents are surrounded by thick straw mats, which can at least provide shelter from the wind.

After walking for three or four days, I stopped at the post again.

But this is a small inn, and the regiment camp of 1 people still has to live in tents, and people who are not in the regiment camp and a few generals can enter the inn to rest.

Yicheng is an old man, he has never seen so many guests, he is completely confused!

Seeing him like this, Zhang Shen knew that this person was no good, so he called his support staff, and the governor came over: "Our family will give you the money, and you take someone to follow him to buy some meat and come back to cook for the big guys." Fan, dare to embezzle, little monkey, our family can't get around you!

The governor nodded and bowed his waist: "How dare you, Mr. Superintendent, look, should you also ask Mr. Wu? There are quite a few of his fellows."

"Go and ask." Zhang Shen said: "Master Wu is an upright official, so he won't take advantage of our family."

Yicheng took people with him to follow the governor, and people went to ask Wu Youwei if he wanted to buy something.

After all, it is not easy for them to go out for a trip. If they can meet a place to buy, they should buy as much as possible, so that they can travel and eat.

Wu Youwei was worrying. If he brought it out for others, he couldn't eat corn noodles and steamed buns every day, right?You don't have the strength to practice martial arts like that?

Just in time, let Cui Tieniu take 3000 taels of silver and go shopping with the Governor and the others!

It just so happens that there is a big farmer nearby, with pigs and sheep, almost being rounded up. This big family is quite interesting. There are several butchers in the family, and they came with them. They helped clean up before leaving. Each of them got a reward of two taels of silver. , all happy.

In the evening, they ate braised pork, mutton soup, and spinach with nuts.

The weather here is relatively warm, and some people have started to grow vegetables early on. They just cultivate them in their houses and eat them at home. Now they can be sold for money, and almost all of them are bought by the army.

This whole day's meat is also not good, green vegetables are very important.

In the evening, Wu Youwei specially invited Zhang Shen over. They all came together. It made no sense for Wantong to have dinner with his subordinates instead of calling Zhang Shen.

Moreover, Wu Youwei specially asked someone to make a pot of Junshan Silver Needle, which was tribute tea.

Wantong and the others drank it, but Zhang Shen smelled it as soon as he picked it up: "Good tea!

"It was given by a friend when he was leaving." Wu Youwei pointed to Wantong and his group next to him and said, "Give them a drink, it's all wasted."

Zhang Shen laughed loudly: "They can also drink Gao Mo'er!"

Wu Youwei also laughed, right?

This place doesn't have any good dim sum either. The best thing served by the postmen in the post station is the red bean cake, which is not in a good shape.

Zhang Shen saw that Wu Youwei ate two without hesitation, and felt more and more satisfied.

When they first walked together, he thought that he was going to suffer. After all, literati and elegant scholars looked down on people like them, thinking that his good days in the army were coming to an end.

Who knew Wu Youwei was so influential!

The army used to call him "Eunuch", but since Wantong and Wu Youwei called him "Master Zhang", the army also changed their address, calling him "Master Supervisor" instead of "Eunuch".

This made him faintly feel that he is a complete person, not rootless...

When eating in the evening, everyone also sat separately, but they were all in the same dining room, and they didn't pay much attention when eating. Some people even asked Zhang Shen some business-related questions.

Everyone rested very late that day, and Yicheng kept making people boil water, and more than 1 people had to soak their feet.

On the second day, he took a full day off, and he still invited poor women from nearby farmers to wash and sew clothes. Wu Youwei asked Cui Tieniu to buy some dried meat and distributed it to the guards. Stomach pad.

As a result, Cui Tieniu not only bought a lot of food, but also bought a lot of big geese when he came back!

"Why are you buying a big goose?" Wu Youwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sir, there are too many big geese in that family, and all the geese I picked were males. The goose feathers can also be used as a feather cushion for Mr. Zhang. I saw him rubbing his waist and twisting his butt the other day. The car is uncomfortable." Cui Tieniu said: "I can do it today."

"Do you know how to remove the smell from goose feathers?" Wu Youwei sighed, "You brought so many male geese back?"

Cui Tieniu... was dumbfounded.

He only noticed this because he saw that the military supervisor was also very good these two days, thinking that his husband seemed to have a good relationship with him, so he wanted to get a gift for the military supervisor .

After all, they were walking behind the human army with six or seven hundred people.

Moreover, as a child from a humble family, Cui Tieniu has experienced the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that no official hired three hundred guards as bodyguards when he took office, and these... were hired by Mr. privately, the Prince of Ming Dynasty Back then, there were only [-] guards.

But that's for life, not employment.

"Hey, be good next time." Wu Youwei patted him on the shoulder. This kid has grown up and is taller than him. The little boy who used to be good is now a big fool.

But Cui Tieniu is stubborn, he just went to find someone, tossed all night, and the next day he really tossed out a goose feather cushion!

The square goose-feather cushions are made of homemade cloth from the village. In order to prevent the goose feathers from flying around, they are all sewn into the shape of matts. An extra layer of fine cloth is added on the outside, and simple auspicious cloud patterns are embroidered on the four corners.

It doesn't look very high-end, but it is very soft.

Wu Youwei thought about it and let them handle it by themselves.

Cui Tieniu went back to discuss it, and the students gave it to Zhang Shen on behalf of Tao Wen Academy.

Zhang Shen was flattered: "For our family?

"Yes, I have been taken care of by adults these days. I am traveling abroad and have no possessions. I only give this to adults as a token of my heart." Although Cui Tieniu is the same as before in front of Wu Youwei, but outside, he Already able to stand alone.Okay, okay, our family accepts it, accepts it. "Zhang Shen is so happy. It is so rare to be respected by scholars. But before going to sleep at night, Zhang Shen is still writing a memorial under the lamp: Slave Zhang Shen, I respectfully invite Shengan. Today I have arrived at the Sanshan Post Station, Wu Serving and taking in three hundred martial arts disciples from Cangzhou as protectors....

Every day, Zhang Shen will actually write a memorial, including what he saw and heard along the way, as well as the local folk customs, the quality of officials, and so on.

The governor of the Hejian Mansion was arrogant and didn't come to pick them up. Zhang Shen wrote it down in the memorial to Emperor Xianzong.

Only Wantong and a few people from Jinyiwei knew about this matter. Even Wu Youwei didn't expect that Zhang Shen wrote a memorial every day, and he thought it would be at least every three to five days.

What Zhang Shen played were all special orders, and all the written documents were secret documents. They were sent directly to Emperor Xianzong's imperial case without anyone's hand, and no one could suppress them.

He wrote down all the gifts he received today, but changed the name: Tao Wen Academy student, young minded, not seen from the worldly perspective...

Emperor Xianzong himself was a person who dared to fight back against the world's vision, otherwise he would not have fallen in love with Wan Zhen'er, a court lady who was 17 years older than him, and made her a concubine, and gave birth to a second daughter and a son.

Zhang Shen believed that the emperor would definitely prefer such an underachiever.

After finishing writing, I put the memorial into a sealed kraft paper bag, and wrote the mailing address on it....
