The rain continued to fall, and Qi Qili drank the broth with empty eyes. The broth sent by his men was boiled with meat. His men believed Zhu Dan's words, and not only did they not attack, but instead sent a large amount of meat as Zhu Dan requested. of game.
"Why don't I give you some meat! Look, this rabbit after the Beginning of Autumn is so fat!"
Zhu Dan felt the same and felt that it was really sad. If he were replaced by Qi Qili, he would be in the same bad mood.
So he decided to add nutrition to the other party. There was too little meat in the broth, which was not conducive to recovery, even if it was a minor illness.
He pushed the lid of the pot containing braised rabbit meat in front of Qi Qili, indicating that he would eat it for free.
Qi Qili blinked twice and stared at the lid again. He was drinking soup from the outer shell of a 78-style military kettle. The one filled with braised rabbit meat belonged to the same type.
He picked up the makeshift chopsticks made from tree branches and took a bite of rabbit meat: "Do you bring cooking ingredients with you?"
"There is no way, we are chasing you and we can't bring more When eating, I have to bring enough seasonings. When I encounter something edible in the wild, I can put some seasonings on it and try to make myself eat as delicious as possible.
A good appetite can ensure physical strength and a good mood. I don’t think so. Your team is so big and you have traveled so far to cause trouble.
Otherwise, we would have made other preparations. Our large force would have left Taiyuan Prefecture early and there would be no time to make things for us.
If we encounter the same thing in the future, we will have to bring two sets of small steam engines, as well as the assembled boat and windlass.
We must study hard when we go back, and at least practice assembling and repairing steam engines. If you have it, it is the most convenient when you encounter rivers and can fish.
Of all the things, seasoning is the most convenient to carry. Adding a little will make the dish more fragrant. Today I will make braised rabbit. But the fried sugar color has a burnt smell, right?"
Zhu Dan is in a good mood and is willing to talk more about his team's situation with Qi Qili.
"Is this set of things made of iron? I think your things are very good."
Qi Qi Li listened and became interested in chatting, trying to find out. The equipment of the Ming army.
Zhu Dan nodded lightly: "They are all the best equipment. The military kettle is made of thicker tinplate. Zhu Lichang said that this is the best for now, and we will make it again when new materials are available in the future.
It involves a technical and industrial background issue. It is not possible to mass-produce it if you want to, but we are already very satisfied.
Look at the leather boots we wear, they are strong and waterproof. It is made of the best cowhide and has a belt that can be used to hang things.
There is a duck down quilt in our backpack. The best duck down can be pressed into a small piece.
The quality of other sabers and other items is also the best in the Ming Dynasty. This set of equipment, regardless of the technical cost, only the materials and labor, is worth twenty swords.
If I give it to you, don’t give it to me. It is said that some things cannot be made, and even if they can be made, twenty guans are not enough.
Needless to say, guns cannot be measured by money. Others don’t have them.
In fact, you should surrender! It's already like this. You should be glad that your people didn't attack. When our people arrived and surrounded us, you said that you had negotiated with us and that you would be waiting so that no one would have to die again. "
As Zhu Dan spoke, he thought about persuading him to surrender. He really didn't want to kill people. After killing people, he still had to clean up the battlefield. It was troublesome.
"You can get it in a month. How much food and salary? "Qi Qili suddenly asked the other party's salary.
"This... is not fixed. There is a basic salary, that is, military pay, which is very small. If you break the grain, you can get two stones a month. We are the guards of the palace, and there are no other places. so much.
In fact, we have no food to take, so we all give money, bonuses and other things that add up to twice a month, which can take good care of our family.
Nowadays, there are more rewards for fighting. If I catch you this month, uh... Anyway... thank you!
You tell me what dish you like to eat, and I will cook it for you later. My cooking is delicious, and they all like to eat my cooking.
In addition to the normal basic salary and bonus, many miscellaneous things are given.
The things we use in the palace are provided by the palace. We give our family five pieces of soap, one soap, four towels, a piece of cloth, a box of tooth powder, shopping coupons for Jubiqi, and skin care products. A set of cosmetics and thirty pounds of meat.
The meat is given as meat stamps. You can go to a street in Xiaqiu Village and buy one. Each piece is half a pound. You can keep it for use, but it is used by our family and we do not exchange the meat stamps for money.
We give out things individually during holidays and festivals. We also give out pots and pans at home, and repair any broken houses.
So we don’t want to die in war. This life is very good. If we die in war, we will get a lot of money. If we don’t have it, we won’t be able to enjoy it. ”
Zhu Dan counted on his fingers and told Qi Qili everything.
Qi Qili was dumbfounded. His first feeling was that he was rich, and Ming Dynasty was rich. The two of them feel really rich. How can they afford so many guards?
“So much money...” Qi Qili didn’t know what to say.
“ It’s not how much money you have, but how many things you have. Without things, money is worthless.
We need to study production technology and convert it into productivity, which is the ability to grow as much food as possible from the land, including raising cattle and sheep.
As long as there are many things, money is not an issue. When the time comes, we will try our best to print treasure money.
If two shi of rice per mu are produced, one shi will be 200 fen. If ten shi of rice are produced per acre, it will not be 200 fen per shi. It should be 40 fen.
As more people raise poultry, eggs will become cheaper, chickens, ducks and geese will also become cheaper, and everyone can afford them.
Our Ming Dynasty has become rich by relying on the ideas given by the masters of Xiaqiu Village, so you did not lose unfairly.
The master is hiding in the team, can you be better than him?
Submit as soon as possible and enjoy the blessings as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you wait a few more years, His Majesty will get upset and directly bombard you. You will not be allowed to surrender even if you want to. ”
Zhu Dan did not forget to continue to persuade and persuaded him to get his bonus...oops! I don’t dare to think about it, I really don’t dare to think about it! Hey hey hey...
Qi Qili stopped talking and lowered his head to eat meat. This fried sugar-colored braised rabbit meat is really delicious. The other party's craftsmanship is good. He can make a fortune by not being a guard of the palace or opening a shop one day. .
......
One day passed, and it still rained the next morning. This made the guards very happy. There would be no fighting if it rained, and it would be inconvenient for the other party to charge into the mountain.
Everyone is busy making breakfast. After seeing the morning glow yesterday morning, the dry firewood collected in advance was covered with tarpaulin.
The meat sent by the enemy yesterday is still there, so today’s staple food is Pasta, fried dough sticks, deep-fried with meat.
I boiled a lot of oil when I made it last night, and the fried dough sticks are fragrant. The disadvantage is that they don’t taste good when they are cold and they are too greasy.
But the oil is already cooked. You won’t get sick if you eat it cold, but the taste is just a little worse.
“Our people sent a message saying that the rain has affected them. In order not to weaken the combat effectiveness, the team has slowed down its march.
If we can’t arrive at the right time, it’s best to Don't fight today, stay away and complete the encirclement.
Our task is to delay your people for another day. Think about it first. Once the encirclement is completed, your people will not be able to break out.
Let’s eat first! It’s delicious while it’s hot, but these fried dough sticks are filled with alum. They say it’s not good if you eat too much, but they’re still prepared for us.”
Zhu Dan brought the food to Qi Qili. He continued to persuade, and he was telling the truth. Once the encirclement was encircled, all five thousand people would stay.
"Surrender!" Qi Qili took a deep breath and nodded. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
