After a few people sat down one after another, someone brought them tea. This was probably preferential treatment for Shangguan.
When everyone was picking up tea, Zhang Shi was the first to say: "Master Hou, we just took a quick look and already understand the rules of eating in this cafeteria. It looks very similar to the rules of eating in the palace, but the tableware is a little different. "
Because Zhang Shi was personally appointed by Empress Dowager Li, and according to the information Liu Haojia had learned, Zhang Shi had never said much during the journey, so he was somewhat polite to Zhang Shi. So he said: "Let Eunuch Zhang know that these eating rules were actually learned from the palace, with just a slight change. After all, there are many people here at this time, and the surrounding eating places are expensive, which is not suitable for most people. People can’t afford it, so we just provide them with a working meal.”
Zhang Shi nodded and said: "I see, Lord Marquis is serious! These measures are also a good idea for those small officials."
Liu Haojia also sighed and said: "As officials, we want the people under our rule to be well-clothed, well-fed, happy and healthy, so we always do something when we can. Otherwise, we will be receiving the salary of the imperial court in vain!"
Zhang Shi laughed loudly when he heard this, while Wu Yunshan and others were extremely unhappy and felt very uncomfortable! In their view, Liu Haojia's words were simply insinuating them.
Just as they were thinking about how to respond, their men had already brought lunch over. There are two steamed buns, two vegetables, a few shrimps and a piece of chicken breast on each person's plate! And it looks bright in color, goes well together, and smells good!
Zhang Shi looked at the dishes on the plate and said, "Yes, even the food in the palace does not necessarily have meat every meal. The Marquis is really thoughtful! But if it is like this every meal, the expense may not be small!"
Xu Wanjiang said angrily at this time: "Everyone knows that Wu Ninghou has a golden touch and his family is rich, so naturally he doesn't care about this little money!"
Liu Haojia said nothing, but picked up the chopsticks and said to Zhang Shi: "Eunuch Zhang, please have a taste."
Zhang Shi nodded, picked up his chopsticks and tasted the green vegetables. He found that they tasted pretty good, so he motioned to the other people to start quickly. Then several people started eating slowly, but Zhang Shi was talking to Liu Haojia during the whole meal, while Wu Yunshan and others whispered to themselves.
After everyone finished the meal, they returned to the third floor. The accounting gentlemen who had finished eating first were already checking the account books. After several people walked around, Wu Yunshan said to Liu Haojia: "Master Hou, can we set off now?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "Okay, we still have to pass through the city. By the time we get to the military camp, the soldiers' lunch break will probably be over."
Wu Yunshan said: "In this case, please ask the Marquis to lead the way."
Liu Haojia directly ordered people to prepare the war horses, then wrapped Wu Yunshan's carriage in the middle and went straight to the military camp. In the car, Wu Yunshan watched the servant beside Liu Haojia move nimble and comfortable on the horse, and he was secretly amazed! He has met many servants, but such tough ones are indeed rare!
But this strengthened his determination to bring down Liu Haojia! After all, people who have reached his position naturally understand the significance of civilian officials suppressing military attachés and nobles, and they are also willing to use such methods!
At the same time, he also knew that those nobles seemed to be scattered now, but once a powerful figure appeared to unite them, they would also play a huge role in politics! Therefore, battles between civil and military forces are inevitable. After all, sharing huge rights with others is worse than keeping them to yourself!
When the large group of people arrived at the gate of the military camp, someone stopped and knocked on the car window and said loudly: "Master Wu, the military camp has arrived, please get out of the car!"
Wu Yunshan, who was pondering what was going on, lifted the curtains and took a look. He found that the carriage did not enter the military camp, but stopped a hundred steps away from the gate! He felt that Liu Haojia was making things difficult for him again! So he said loudly: "This place is so far away from the camp gate and the military camp is so huge. Can't I let you go in?"
Just as the Jin Yiwei was about to answer, Liu Haojia jumped down from his horse and said, "Master Wu, no one is allowed to ride a horse or ride a carriage in the military camp except at night. As a doctor of the Ministry of War, don't you even understand this rule?"
? "
Wu Yunshan was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that there seemed to be such a rule in the military camp. It's just that the Ming army's military discipline is now loose and no one follows it at all. So in the past, when he entered the military camp, he would let the carriage drive directly into the military camp, and only respectfully ask him to get off when he reached the center of the camp, so he had long forgotten this rule.
Now he saw that Liu Haojia had dismounted and stared at him, so he could only climb down from the carriage angrily, shook his sleeves and said, "Of course I know this rule, and I don't need Wu Ninghou to remind me!"
Liu Haojia said coldly: "I don't know if you followed the rules in the military camp before? But you'd better obey the rules here, otherwise military law will be merciless!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia threw the reins of the horse to the servant behind him and strode forward. Upon seeing this, Wu Yunshan rolled his sleeves angrily and followed Liu Haojia into the military camp.
When he entered the military camp, he started to look around. His first feeling was that this military camp looked particularly clean compared to the military camps he had seen before! There are no debris on the road and all surfaces are smooth. And it doesn’t smell like shit! You must know that other Ming army soldiers defecated indiscriminately in the military camp, making the smell of the military camp very bad!
Look at the soldiers in the military camp. They are also very different! The first thing that was different was that he actually saw groups of soldiers patrolling inside the military camp! And this is simply unimaginable in other Ming army camps! Those soldiers often go to the military camp in the morning and disappear, and such people are considered diligent, and more soldiers don't even show their faces! Not to mention patrolling the military camp!
Moreover, he also saw soldiers receiving training from officers in squad mode, some exercising with equipment, and some soldiers maintaining weapons and armor. And this scene is difficult to see in the Ming army camp!
If the soldiers of the Ming army appeared in the camp, they would either gather together to gamble, or they would lie down and rest lazily. Nothing like the energy of these soldiers in front of me! Even the officers are not ashamed!
Along the way, he also discovered that these soldiers had great respect for Liu Haojia! All soldiers who met Liu Haojia stood up and saluted! And Wu Yunshan can be sure that this kind of love is real and not fake. Even he, an outsider, can feel it. This makes him increase Liu Haojia's danger by one level!
