In the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture had a fixed supply of military pay, but Xu Yunyan was curious about how they had food, so she quietly stepped forward regardless of Yue'er and the others.
Seeing the soldiers gathered around an iron pot in his front yard, drinking clear soup and water, Xu Yunyan was completely surprised.
The original curiosity turned into guilt.
"Is this what you guys eat?"
Xu Yunyan almost got angry when he looked at the porridge made from not many grains of rice, and his words were a little shaky.
A young leader hurriedly raised his fist at Xu Yunyan and said, "I didn't know that Lord Duwei was coming, but I didn't expect you to come from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
Xu Yunyan was furious now and ignored him, pointing to the gruel in the pot and asking, "Tell me, what's going on? Why do you eat this?"
Xu Yunyan didn't return the favor or use any courtesy. He directly asked the question in his mind, "Does Zhechong Fu soldiers eat such things? I remember that the imperial court stipulated that the foster care of Fu soldiers should not be like this."
Xu Yunyan just finished speaking, these soldiers look at me and I look at you.
"This...that..."
Seeing that the soldiers continued not to tell the truth, Xu Yunyan got angry, "What? What are you afraid to say? Did the Shangguan deduct your food and salary, or did you never know how the court stipulated the food and salary for the soldiers?"
If you don’t know, I’ll tell you! The imperial court stipulated that the soldiers should have one dou of food, seven taels of vegetables, and other supplies every day.
Don't tell me that twenty of you have enough food for a day. This is all you have left at night. "
When these soldiers heard Xu Yunyan clearly and clearly stated the food ratio for their soldiers, the little leader knelt on the ground with an ordinary sound.
"Sir, Shangfeng didn't deduct our food and wages, it's just the young ones who are confused!"
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan felt that this matter was not that simple, and immediately pulled him up, "Kneel down? Why kneel down? I don't know that this man has gold under his knees?"
What's more, how can you, the soldiers who protect your home and country, kneel down at every turn? When you are so spineless and talk about defending your home and country, when facing the enemy, do you still have the spine to rather die than surrender? "
When Xu Yunyan said this, all the soldiers in the room knelt on the ground and began to button Xu Yunyan's heads.
"My lord, make atonement, my lord, make atonement. We were confused for a moment, so please make atonement, lord."
Seeing these people kowtow and apologize to him, Xu Yunyan waved his hand, "I

What did you just say? What's going on to give you some backbone? Stand up for me, no matter whether you are guilty or not, stand and talk to me! "
Xu Yunyan said this. After the team leader stood up, he glanced at Xu Yunyan and sighed.
"Sir, this is what happened!"
Soon, the truth came to light.
There is no poignant love story.
There is no such thing as misbehavior on the peak or corruption and perversion of the law.
Not to mention the situation where the soldiers of the government gathered in front of them to eat, drink and gamble.
On the contrary, these soldiers participated in the Hebei War and attacked other enemy armies in the future. Their compatriots died one after another.
One dead member is replaced with a new one, and some families of the soldiers are so dead that no one can pick up a weapon and go to the battlefield. However, the family of the soldiers has no backbone, leaving a group of orphans and widows, but they cannot ignore it.
They say they can't ignore it, but the court really doesn't care.
These government soldiers were kind and righteous, and used part of their few food and salary to support the family of the government soldier who had no backbone.
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan sat down beside him in despair.
"This is all our fault. The incompetence of one general exhausted the three armies."
But when Xu Yunyan was silent here, the team leader stepped forward and said, "Sir, how can this have anything to do with you?"
Our former captain of Zhechong Prefecture led us to the battlefield, and his soldiers were injured. After more than a year, he still couldn't survive. He died and was replaced by a good captain like you. It was too late for us to be happy. How could we blame you all? "
Seeing these people saying that they were good captains, Xu Yunyan laughed at himself.
"If I were in a good position, I wouldn't be angry with you anymore when I don't know the truth of the matter."
After Xu Yunyan said this, he immediately thought of a plan.
"But don't worry, I may not be able to do it in other places, but I can't ignore things like this in Jiangzhou."
After Xu Yunyan said this, the soldiers hurriedly tried to persuade Xu Yunyan.
"Sir Captain, your annual salary is limited. We can support a few people. Please don't get involved in this matter. You are not the previous Captain, you are new here."
But after they said this, Xu Yunyan shook his head
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He shook his head, "If I don't get involved, how long can you help them? If something happens to one of them suddenly, wouldn't you have to increase the burden?"
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he saw what these soldiers were going to say and hurriedly revealed his plan.
"I still have a little money, and there are still many rewards from His Majesty, Prince Qin, and others. I can definitely buy a large piece of unowned land in Jiangzhou.
We brought all these families who had lost their breadwinners together to form a new village and let them cultivate the fields.
We soldiers will help them when we have time, so that they can still be hungry, fed and clothed even if they have no support. Do you think this is good? "
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the eyes of these government soldiers lit up: "Yes, what you said is absolutely true, but we are unable to implement it because we have no money."
One of the soldiers said this in a naive manner, and was immediately pushed to the ground by other soldiers, who punched and kicked him.
"You little stick, you don't have money, so you can't do anything!"
Seeing this group of people having fun here, Xu Yunyan waved his hand, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Now I'll give you a task."
While talking, Xu Yunyan took out a golden lump from his arms.
"Take these and buy some food. As my soldiers, I can't let you eat rice bran all day long and become as skinny as a monkey. How will I lead you to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future?
What's more, Your Majesty wants me to train a strong army. How can I train you like this? "
"Sir, this is inappropriate!"
"..."
After talking nicely to these people and finally accepting Xu Yunyan's golden knot, Xu Yunyan continued.
"When you go to buy food, you must keep your body healthy for me. The other one is going to count for me the families of the soldiers who have difficulty in counting. When the counting is done, I will go to the governor to discuss and see if I can buy it. The next piece of land is ownerless.
If you really buy the land and let the poor soldiers live a new life according to my wishes, if you are as skinny as a monkey and have no strength when I ask you to help them work, what will I do? Get rid of you. "
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, these soldiers hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Yunyan again.
"My lord, please be kind."
