For a long time, Chen Ying did not dare to take out the gunpowder, because he was afraid that this kind of uncontrollable power would show up and make the emperor jealous. He was already considered a master of merit, but if he added gunpowder, it would be a dead end.

Therefore, Chen Ying is willing to go far away on the original path, rather than leapfrog development.

At some point, Li Daozhen, who was silent at first, suddenly said: "Stop pretending, I know you are not asleep, let's talk!"

"Yeah!" Chen Ying turned around and faced Li Daozhen. Even though it was dark, because of Li Siye's presence, the lights in Li Daozhen's room were usually kept on.Chen Ying could clearly feel Li Daozhen's body trembling.

"What are you afraid of?"

"I didn't... I was afraid that you would take my son away!"

"The son is mine too!" Chen Ying sighed and said, "Our son, as I said, will not let him leave his mother. A child without mother's love will have an incomplete life!"

Li Daozhen didn't believe that Chen Ying would be so magnanimous at all, she said with tears: "I don't want the iron ore, I don't want the salt mine anymore, you can take them all, and return all the land in Lingzhou, as well as the canning workshop. You, don't take my son away..."

Chen Yingzhen didn't know how to persuade Li Daozhen, he was telling the truth, but Li Daozhen didn't believe it at all.

Is this still the brutal, domineering and murderous Li Daozhen back then?

Nothing like it.

Chen Yingdao: "Let me swear, I will never let him leave you before he reaches adulthood! Otherwise, I will be shot through my heart with ten thousand arrows, and it will not be good..."

Without saying the word "death", Li Daozhen covered Chen Ying's mouth with his hand.

Chen Ying took Li Daozhen's hand away and said, "You don't believe me?"

Li Daozhen shook her head and said, "No, I believe you!"

"You're still lying, you obviously don't believe it!" Chen Ying sniffed the Nv Nai Xiang on Li Daozhen's body. Although Li Daozhen didn't breastfeed Li Siye, because he often hugged Li Siye, Li Daozhen had a faint Nv Nai Xiang on her body.Chen Ying unconsciously leaned in front of Li Daozhen.

Li Daozhen became vigilant: "What are you going to do?"

Chen Ying didn't speak. At this time, silence speaks louder than words. Actual actions are more effective than thousands of words.

That night, Li Daozhen slept extremely well, and it felt so good to have a man by his side.

However, when Li Daozhen woke up, Li Siye was playing with Nunao Bubbles, but Chen Ying had already disappeared.

Li Daozhen was a little absent-minded at this moment, as if she had a erotic dream last night, but the mottled hickey marks on her body clearly told her that it was not a dream.

……

The young and strong from Hebei Province arrived at Yezhu Ridge outside Lingzhou City anxiously under the escort of officers and soldiers. When they had just arrived at Yezhu Ridge, they saw the towering Beijing Temple. The human head has long been turned into a pile of skulls, covered with dark dust.

However, this dark black luster made them feel extremely shocked.

Originally, the Yezhuling Valley was the station of the Yu She She Department, but it was converted into a permanent camp by Yu Guni. However, the original Yu She She Department has long since disappeared, and now it has become a temporary camp of the Hebei Army.

After entering the camp, these Hebei soldiers registered according to their respective regiments and brigades, and then lined up to receive their own equipment.

Each set of bright blue armor, two sets of Gebu army uniforms, two sets of down jackets, two pairs of cowhide boots, a lunch box made of tinplate, a washbasin made of tinplate, and a down sleeping bag.As for the equipment, it is more sufficient. The archer is equipped with a horizontal knife, a stainless steel folding shield, a light bow and a hard crossbow, and the horizontal knife hand is equipped with a light bow, horizontal knife, and shield. A hard crossbow was fired.

The horizontal knives used by ordinary soldiers are also cold and cold, cutting iron like mud.The hilt, scabbard, and blade do not have any decorations. They are plain and unpretentious, but they have a terrifying and murderous aura that makes people's hearts chill.With these equipments, these soldiers from Hebei feel at ease.

Chen Ying is really willing to spend money to equip these soldiers with such a good knife!For such a good armor, one must know that the equipment of the cannon fodder troops in this era is a crude long spear, or a horizontal knife that can be cut when chopping wood. The outfit that Chen Ying distributed to them was at least more than a hundred.

Taking so much money to arm them is naturally not used as cannon fodder, but as a first-class elite.As long as they don't die on the battlefield and don't get any rewards, this outfit is enough for them to eat for half their lives.

When they came to the dormitory where they lived, the big soldiers from Hebei Province were eye-opening.In a clean room, there are six bunk beds for a group of ten people, and two of the empty beds are used to place their washbasins and lunch boxes.

A vicious gangster shouted: "Things should be placed in order, this is a rule, and everyone has to abide by it. Put clothes and so on in the wardrobe and shoe cabinet, and tea mugs and washbasins as your own signs. Put them together and put them neatly... Do you see the cabinet near the door? Remember to put your weapons in and lock them up after training every day, and take them out of the barracks without permission. Clear!"

A stabbing soldier was not very happy: "The weapon is locked, isn't it very troublesome for us to take it out?"

The team leader said: "The brigade commander is in charge of the key. After the daily training, the brigade commander is responsible for checking whether every weapon is put into the cabinet, and then locks the cabinet. After the morning run, he will open the cabinet and take out the weapons. Start training, that is to say, during the non-training period, except for the sentries and patrols guarding the barracks, other people are not allowed to wear weapons."

The stab head said again: "This...in case there is a war..."

"When it's time to fight, you will of course keep your swords in your arms and stand ready for battle, but you still have to follow the rules." The gang leader just said halfway, when there was a burst of gongs outside, he immediately changed his words: "Let's serve dinner now, arrange Team, take the lunch box and go to get the meal..."

The dining hall is a huge wooden shed, covered with thatched grass, about two feet high, very spacious, and at a glance, it is a thousand steps long. There, a bucket of food is ready, 3 More than 300 people lined up in more than [-] rows, and they went forward to receive meals one by one, even the officers were no exception.

Seeing so many people, the stabbing head couldn't help being a little worried, what if the food was all eaten up?The gang leader smiled at him and said: "Don't worry, there is enough to eat. General Chen stipulated that if the gang leader did not cook enough food for the battle, he would cook the gang leader in the pot, so don't worry about eating, it will definitely be enough." , everyone can eat enough."

As he spoke, he twitched his nostrils, inhaled the aroma of the food, and looked greedy: "Today's food is good, very fragrant."

The stabbed soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva.He smelled mutton.

When was the last time you ate lamb?

A year ago, or three years ago, anyway, I can't remember clearly.

Chapter 56 Long-Lost Happiness (Part [-])

Finally, it was his turn.The guy in charge of cooking asked, "Would you like rice, pancakes, or soup pancakes?"

The stabbing soldier said: "Soup cakes, I have a big appetite, so give me two more."

The gang leader shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter how much I give you. Remember to finish eating, and the military discipline officer will go to check. If you can't finish eating, you will be served by military sticks!"

Afraid of losing money, the stab head took four steaming pancakes and put them into the lunch box.Only at this time did he realize that this humble lunch box actually has four layers, one for pancakes, two for vegetables, and one for vegetable soup.

The meals are of course very rich, one is salted duck eggs, one is stewed mutton with radish, and the other is egg drop soup.

Since Chen Ying created down clothes and bedding to keep out the cold, Datang’s duck breeding industry rapidly expanded. In the second year of Wude, it was very difficult for Chen Ying to prepare [-] sets of down jackets in Chang’an City, but only In Lingzhou, there are hundreds of large-scale duck breeding workshops.The cost of raising ducks in Lingzhou is very low.

There is alfalfa here. Chop the alfalfa and mix it with wheat bran. The duck tastes sweet and grows very well.In Chang'an, the down quilts that cost tens of hundreds of quilts are actually worth only ten sheepskins in Lingzhou, which is less than one-tenth of the market price in Chang'an.

It's just that although the down quilt is light in weight, it is bulky and inconvenient to transport. In addition, Li Daozhen maliciously hoarded it, so the down market in Lingzhou did not affect Chang'an.

With the prosperity of the duck industry, the food of the common people has become richer. Although it is not necessary to eat meat every day, at least there is no shortage of duck eggs. Lingzhou is rich in salt. The salted eggs marinated with marinated salt are not only delicious, but also beautiful Excellent, especially the egg yolk, which is crispy and delicious, one bite, half a mouthful of oil.

These Hebei soldiers were moved to tears when they saw this meal.Many people have grown up so much, and have never eaten such a hearty meal.If this meal is placed outside, it is impossible for the landlords and rich people to eat it every day, let alone their big soldiers.

The portion of the biscuit is very large, one is eighty-two heavy, it is made of high-quality flour, there is no impurity, and it is full of chewiness. Even a big-bellied man with a good appetite will be full after eating two and drinking a bowl of soup up.Rice is the staple food of this era, not only tastes good, but also resists the forehead.

Lingzhou is located in the Hetao Plain, and the land is fertile. Not only can wheat be grown, especially in Woye County, almost one-third of which is wetland. Once the wheat is planted in the rainy season, it will definitely be flooded. The rice planted, although only In one season, you can harvest about three stones.

Mingzhou, Hebei is also a wetland. Some of the people here mainly eat pasta, and some eat rice as the main food. Therefore, in order to take into account the eating habits of these soldiers, Chen Ying asked people to prepare one-third of the pancakes and one-third of the soup. cake, and a third of rice.

No matter if you choose cooking cakes, rice, or soup cakes, everyone devours them hungrily. Never waste any food. eat it.Some officers were patrolling back and forth with a stern face, staring at everyone's lunch boxes and dishes, obviously trying to catch picky eaters and food-wasting guys.

The stabbing soldier thought it was superfluous, what kind of world is it now, even a full meal is so sad, and besides such a good meal, even a small landlord can only eat once in a while, who dares to waste it?Those who dare to waste don't need officers to do it. More than 3 people can drown him with saliva!

The stinger soldier ate the meal very deliciously, and wiped out all the food, leaving no leftovers or vegetable juices.After eating, wash the lunch boxes, everyone takes their lunch boxes back to the dormitory, and then it is time for free activities.
