In the wilderness of Wuchang County, Qiu Cao's Huangzhou Army Station was in full swing. Qiu Cao ended today, and the soldiers would set sail north and return to the garrisons of each prefecture and county.

Next to the big iron pots everywhere in the camp, soldiers lined up to make meals, all of whom were looking forward to it, and their excitement was beyond words, because each person could have an extra sausage for this meal.

Sausages are cooked with big pot rice. Since the Daye Supervisory Office, iron pots have been promoted in the military. Cooking rice with iron pots can save firewood than using a jar, and the rice is cooked faster.

Sausage rice is very popular among soldiers. The so-called sausage is to put pork into a casing made of pig small intestine, and then compress, dehydrate and dry it. It is similar to the method in the North.

There are many pigs in Huangzhou, so there are many pork products. The sausages are easy to store, so it is most suitable to serve as military rations. The sausage rice derived from this is a popular meal during the Qiu Cao period.

There is fat pork in the sausage. After cooking with rice, the lard overflows. The rice grains are covered with the fat and aroma of the sausage. Even if it is just ordinary brown rice, it tastes more fragrant than ordinary brown rice, because even less oil is a bit too small.

Oil is a good thing. You can't stand hunger if you eat without oil. Everyone's first bowl of rice can be divided into a small piece of sausage, and they bite it in one bite. The wonderful feeling is really indescribable.

Every day, each person can have a salted egg, maybe it’s salted egg or salted duck egg, it doesn’t matter, because salted eggs contain salt, and people can’t eat salt. Not only does salted eggs serve rice, but they are also considered meat dishes. In addition, there is a little meat floss and ham slices that are available in each meal. The food is really unspeakable.

The food level has improved, and the soldiers are full of food and are energetic. Everyone thinks that General Yuwen is really good to them, and the generals can't help but be amazed when they see such a good food.

The young Huangzhou general manager Yuwen Wen, the style of leading the army, looks average, nothing special, and even a little suspicious. However, there are some places that make people think are good. Let’s not talk about other things for now, but the logistics alone is very talkative.

Two words: luxury.

He actually supplies so much meat to soldiers. I won’t mention the famous Huangzhou ham in Shannan, as well as meat floss, salted eggs, and sausages. It not only consumes meat but also salt. Everyone knows that you have money, so do you want to be so luxurious!

The treatment of being a soldier these days is not very good. The food is sloppy. Just a few years ago, when the food level had not improved, it was nothing more than a problem of rice or rice mixed with sand. What about meat? Basically, soldiers were fighting against wild animals near the garrison in the marching area.

The amount of salt is enough to have a salty taste anyway. If it is oily, just mess it up.

This is not the case. Unless it is the elite soldiers or generals, their food will be good. After all, it is a life-threatening situation. Generally, soldiers just support the scene when fighting.

However, this time, the army's food level has improved a lot. Everyone knows that there are many meat products in Huangzhou, and now the generals know how much more "more" is.

Nearly 10,000 people, how many salted eggs, sausages, meat floss and ham should be eaten every day? Who pays for this money?

Anyway, it was not the generals of each department who led the troops. This time, the troops of each department, whether they were prefectures, county soldiers, government soldiers, or recruiting troops, brought their own food and grass as required. After all, this is also an assessment subject, and the additional meat products such as sausages and ham were allocated by the commander Yu Wenwen.

In addition, the allocation was made, not many people knew whether the fee was paid for by the General Administration or the Duke of Zhu himself. However, according to the reviews from the Duke of Zhu, everyone is guessing that it is paid for by himself.

The baskets of salted eggs, ham, meat floss and sausages not only contain the production date, but also the names of the relevant store owners, one for the sake of easy accountability and the other for the sake of gaining fame.

This Huangzhou general manager is also working very hard to promote the Xiyangcheng merchants!

Many soldiers are illiterate and cannot understand what is written on these bamboo blues. However, the tastes are slightly different among the products of each company. After all, they naturally know which company has the right taste for you.

Then the soldiers exchanged each other, and there was always a saying, so they had to know which sausage, salted egg, or meat floss they liked to eat, and remember it after a while.

Thinking of the Shannan government army purchasing a large amount of meat products in Huangzhou, everyone couldn't help but admire Duke Zhu's methods: it was really no one else to turn war into a business.

Although Yuwen Xingtai and Yuwen Huangzhou are relatives (father and son), and the orders of the government army cannot be separated from human relationships, everyone is very welcome to these salted eggs, ham, meat floss and sausages as military rations. After all, they have already eaten them, and they are indeed convenient and delicious.

Anyway, the government pays money, and the generals of each department are happy to be good people. Of course, if they ask them to pay for it themselves, it would be different if they are willing to give up.

In the Central Army's tent, a lively barbecue conference had just ended, and the generals left with all their might. "Host" Yuwen Wen burped and walked out of the tent to blow the air.

Today, Qiu Cao ended successfully in a place called "Shengli" in Wuchang County, Ezhou. As the head coach, he naturally had to have a big banquet for the generals. Of course, what he ate was roasted pigs, roasted whole lamb, roasted game, etc. It was impossible to wine, but this was in the military camp.

Drinking is a mistake, and it is easy to get drunk and whip soldiers, or insult generals after drinking. Yuwen Wen does not want to make any trouble for this, so unless it is to celebrate the achievements after the victory or practice it for the dead, the military camp is not allowed to drink.

The patrol of Hengzhou, Zhou Faming, and several other generals came back to report the order. Yuwen Wen asked him to move out the reserved barbecue for them to eat, and asked about the patrol of the patrol by the way.

"The general manager, the soldiers like these salted eggs, sausages, meat floss and hams as side dishes. They can serve rice and enjoy meat. They are salty and taste better than drinking light salt water."

"Main-General, the soldiers are still a little worried about eating pig internal organs. After all, they have never eaten these things very much. Of course, ordinary people can't eat pork a few times a year, and they don't think they have the chance to eat internal organs."

"The general manager, the soldiers who like to eat salted duck eggs are similar to those who like to eat salted eggs. Basically, it doesn't matter which one you eat, and there is no obvious problem of avoiding food."

"Mainstead, the down jacket is still a little hot now. The soldiers who patrol the night feel good when wearing it. After all, the night wind is a little cool..."

Yuwen Wen listened quietly to the feedback from the generals under his command. These opinions came from the ideas of grassroots soldiers, so he had to pay attention to them and improve them to do a good job in logistics. After all, he paid for the money he spent this time.

Yes, as some people have guessed, Yuwen Wen paid out of his own pocket to add a meal to Qiu Cao's army.

Is he so much money that he burns? No, although he makes a lot of money, Yuwen Wen also spends money like flowing water and doesn't think it's too much money.

But this money must be spent.

Whether it is to buy military morale, or pretend to be a pretentious person, or to promote business for the meat products workshop in Xiyang City, Yuwen Wen was determined to improve the food in the military, so he was not afraid of burning money.

Why do you keep so much money? If you lose a war one day, how much money will be cheaper to others!

As a "later", Yuwen Wen knew many historical stories. In the late Ming Dynasty, the peasant army besieged Luoyang. After the city was broken, Zhu Changxun, the Fu King of Luoyang, came to the end of his life.

There are two statements about the death of King Fu. One is that when the peasant army was at the city, the soldiers guarding the city originally planned to grit their teeth and defend. Some officials advised King Fu to take out his family wealth to reward the army. King Fu was reluctant to accept it. After the defending army learned that the army had lost all its morale and opened the door to surrender.

Secondly, King Fu knew that the situation was not good and it was useless to keep the money, so he agreed to use his family’s wealth to reward the army. As a result, the officials had just left Prince Fu’s mansion with the money, and had not been drifted "as usual" and were divided into few soldiers who were defending the city.

I thought that the soldiers who would be rewarded with great rewards were angry, so I opened the door and surrendered without hesitation. After the city fell, the King of Fu ascended to heaven.

No matter what the statement is, Yuwen Wen didn't want that kind of scene to fall on his head. It is the most important thing to seize military power in troubled times. When someone is in the face of Xiyang City, he will carry the money box to the city to spend money to buy military morale, and it will be a dead end.

If you can't defeat the wild wave battle, you'll be no different from a rabbit and a hawk, and it depends entirely on your face.

Once there is something wrong in the current situation, most of the civil and military officials in Shannan surrender will be basically in danger of life. Only the male members of Yuwen cannot survive. In this case, they are reluctant to spend money to buy military morale. Do you think you are tired of living?

You are good to soldiers in normal times, but only when the critical moment is the soldiers may fight for you. Not to mention the probability, at least it is better than cramming for the moment.

What's the use of squeezing, abuse, and enslaving soldiers, not treating soldiers as humans, to raise money at critical moments? The soldiers might turn around and surrender.

To put it bluntly, this big order was the move by the three fathers and sons of Yuwen to buy the morale of the army. Some of the money spent was paid by the official account, and some of them paid by themselves. It was a loss from a business perspective, but it was worth it.
