After taking a bath and eating, exhaustion swept over, Yan Heng did nothing in the end, and fell asleep soundly with Wu Ming in his arms.

Opening his eyes again, it was already three shots in the sun, but Wu Ming didn't get up yet, and was lying lazily beside him, staring at him with big eyes and small eyes.

Yan Heng suddenly felt that he really missed the opportunity last night, he should have another meal no matter what.But what to do now is to prostitute in the daytime, not to mention that a maid may break in at any time, and his group of guards should almost chase after him.

"Has anyone come to see me?" Yan Heng asked.

"No." Wu Ming said, "But Yao Zhong has been waiting in the front yard for a long time."

The guards must have come.

Yan Heng sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Ming into his arms, hugged him for a while, then resolutely got up and got out of bed, went to the cabinet to search for the spare clothes left here.

Wu Ming stretched his waist and sat up, "Eat Chaoshi with me, or with Yao Zhong?"

"You come with me too." Yan Heng said, "Have someone deliver the food to the front yard."

"Then I have to go to the kitchen first, and then go to you."

"good."

Yan Heng put on his clothes and went to the front yard. When he went out, he surprised the tortoise who was sweeping the floor outside the door.

Wu Ming didn't stay in the room for a long time. He put on some clothes, combed his hair into a simple bun, then grabbed the big cloak that Yan Heng wore last night, put it on his body, got up and went out.

As soon as he walked down the steps in front of the door, Tortoise came up to him, "Ma'am, is the lord back?"

"I've seen it all, so why ask?" Wu Ming flicked her forehead.

"What a lord!" Tortoiseshell rubbed her forehead that was sore from the bullet, "I thought I was seeing a ghost in the daytime!"

You are the devil in daylight now!

Wu Ming rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen.

Osmanthus had obviously noticed that the mutton in the casserole was missing, and she was running around in a hurry in the kitchen. When she saw Wu Ming push the door in, she immediately fell to her knees in fright, "Ma'am, the servant is guilty! The servant did not take care of the kitchen..."

"I took the mutton and rice." Wu Ming interrupted, "I'll talk about the daytime meal later. Are you ready for the morning meal?"

"Soy...soy milk...is ready, poached eggs...not...not yet..."

"Let me see for myself." Wu Ming couldn't bear Gui Hua's nervousness when she saw a man, so she walked to the chopping board and found that the soy milk had been squeezed, and there was a pot of steamed buns and a plate of seasoned radishes beside her. Dry, stewed meat, only poached eggs, which are not delicious when cold, have not been touched yet.

"Hurry up and make poached eggs, make a few more, all of them should be medium rare." Wu Ming ordered while going to get the food box.

Yan Heng had already arrived at the front yard.

As soon as he got out of the hanging flower gate connecting the front and back yards, Yan Heng found that all the guards chasing him were standing in the yard. He couldn't help but feel hot, and told the two closest ones: "Split half of the people to rest, I won't do it today." Leave the barracks."

"Promise." The guard bowed to promise, and conveyed Yan Heng's order to the guard leader.

All the guards around Yan Heng have undergone extremely strict training, and not talking too much is the most important thing in the training.Just like this time, even if Yan Heng stubbornly threw off the team and rushed back to Xiangping alone, the guards would only try to catch up without asking why.

But a confidant like Yao Zhong wouldn't let him worry so much.

As soon as Yan Heng entered the main hall, Yao Zhong, who had been waiting here for a long time, bowed to salute, and asked with a half smile: "I don't know what is the important thing for the lord to get rid of the guards and go back alone? "

"Important matters, of course you can't tell others." Yan Heng coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "You came so early, but is there something wrong?"

"The county guard is here, how dare the servants not come to kowtow?" Yao Zhong replied in a strict tone, and then continued with a smile, "Today the camp is rewarding the three armies. Since the lord is here, why don't you show your face?"

"When will it start?" Yan Heng asked.

It was Wu Ming who came up with the idea of ​​rewarding the armed forces with rice, grain, oil and salt. Although he just mentioned it casually when he was discussing the new term "logistics" with Yan Heng, Yan Heng remembered it very carefully.It happened that there was no severe drought or flood this year, and the crops planted in the military village were considered to be good harvests, and there were two more big inputs of soybean oil and sea salt. It was a good time for strong capital and buying people's hearts.Yan Heng asked people to perfect the content and process of the reward, and issued it as a serious order.

On the way of inspection, some barracks had already distributed the rewards to the soldiers. Compared with them, Xiangping's side was a bit late.

"It's already started." Yao Zhong said, "But this time the rewards are handed out to each soldier by the generals, and it won't be over in one or two hours. The Lord will have time to go after eating the court food."

"How do you know that I haven't used Chaoshi yet?" Yan Heng asked awkwardly.

"My lord, the front and back yards don't add up to much space. I can tell that Madam has never woken up just by listening..."

Before Yao Chong finished speaking, Wu Ming's cold snort came from outside the door, "What are you talking about me again?"

"Madam Mingjian, how could I speak ill of you, it's too late to praise you!" Yao Zhong hurriedly turned around and begged Wu Ming for mercy.

Wu Ming just used this sentence to remind them that he was here, and after speaking, he carried the food box and entered the main hall without even giving Yao Zhong a straight face.

Yan Heng didn't say any more, and sat behind the table pretending to be majestic, watching Wu Ming arrange the food.

But soon, Yan Heng noticed that Yao Zhong's eyes were turning back and forth between the two of them, and mainly lingered on Wu Ming's waist and hips, and he was annoyed: "You go out first, after my wife and I have eaten the court food." , I will call someone to call you."

"No." Yao Zhong made a promise with a playful face, bowed and left the hall.

Only then did Yan Heng ease his tense expression, and asked Wu Ming if he knew about rewarding the three armies today.

"I know, Luo Daozi invited me to watch the ceremony, but I didn't want to stand outside in the cold wind, so I turned it down." Wu Ming said.

"Come and take a look with me." Yan Heng said, "Just go and have a look, you won't stand for too long, just wear more."

Wu Ming is not just a colorful flower branch, there is no need to hide in the house all the time and see no one.Anyway, in a few days, he will go out with him. Today is a trial, let him get used to the feeling of hugging.

Wu Ming didn't think too much about it. He just thought that if he went there, he would be the background wall. There would be no trouble or difficulty. After pondering for a while, he nodded in agreement, "Let's go and have a look."

After agreeing to the promise, Wu Ming knew that the background wall was not so easy to use.

First of all, all the clothes he was wearing had to be changed from the inside to the outside.When he finished wrapping the new clothes brought by Aunt Lao into three layers, Wu Ming suddenly felt that he didn't need to worry about keeping warm at all. With so many layers of clothes, no matter how strong the wind was, it couldn't blow into his body. .

When changing clothes, Aunt Lao saw Wu Ming's impatience, and reminded him with a smile that this was in the barracks, and many things were omitted. To add another circle, the hair crown on the head should be replaced with a few catties of gold gemstones.

Wu Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, and began to consider whether it was possible to use plastic to fill gems, and replace gold with aluminum alloy.

He was still daydreaming whimsically, and Aunt Lao began to ask questions about etiquette again.

Fortunately, Yan Heng has always been impatient, before Aunt Lao muttered a few words, Yan Heng broke in impatiently and took Wu Ming, who was already dressed, away from Aunt Lao's spell.

When the two came down to the school grounds surrounded by a group of guards, the reward ceremony was already halfway through.

There was never a surprise attack when the leader arrived. As soon as Yan Heng agreed to attend the reward ceremony, Yao Zhong sent someone to report Yan Heng's arrival to the barracks to the officers and Luo Daozi here, and asked them to be ready to welcome him. Be prepared—and more importantly, be prepared to be escorted.

So, as soon as Yan Heng showed up, the whole ceremony came to an abrupt end.

All the officers on the platform expressed surprise, and hurriedly came down to salute with Luo Daozi, while the soldiers below all knelt down on the ground. Although they didn't shout long live three times, the ostentation was not too bad.

Yan Heng didn't talk too much with these people, and he didn't deliver any inspiring speeches. He stepped onto the viewing platform with an indifferent face, stood still at the chief, and then said in a deep voice, "Get up."

"Get up—" The guard who followed him immediately raised his voice, conveying Yan Heng's order.

After the soldiers below stood up one after another, Yan Heng looked at the officers on both sides, and seeing that they had found their positions, he said again: "Go on."

"Promise!" The two or five hundred masters promised loudly, and then personally conveyed the order to the hundred generals below.

There are no chairs in this year, and the people on the viewing platform—including Yan Heng—can only stand under the sun like the soldiers below, but the positions are different, and it seems that there is a little sense of sharing weal and woe.

After receiving the order, the people below called out their names again, and the soldiers whose names were called also promised loudly, and ran forward to receive the reward.

Yan Heng didn't want people to think that he had the intention of treason. Although these soldiers in the field also had the title of the army, they were dressed differently from the regular army, and they only claimed that they were recruited to store up military rations for the border.The training grounds are all in the middle of the barracks, surrounded by barracks and farmland.Ordinary people can only see soldiers working in the farmland, and they don't know that they also have to go out for drills every day, holding knives and guns.

The number of soldiers in each garrison will not be recruited too much. For example, in Xiangping, there are only about 1000 people, led by a two- to five-hundred-lord, and there are two five-hundred-lords and ten generals.

This reward, two or five hundred masters, five hundred masters, and Luo Daozi, who only manages the craftsman camp, all watched the ceremony on the stage, and ten hundred generals were responsible for distributing the reward items to thousands of soldiers in person.

The rewards are actually not many, just a can of soybean oil, a pack of salt, a liter of flour, and a catty of pork.

But the soldiers who received the rewards all smiled happily, just because these things can be sent home with less, so that their families can enjoy them.

Those who will take the initiative to join the military camp these days are all poor families. Although these four things are not in large quantities, for poor families, each of them is a precious thing, which is enough for their whole family to have a good year.If you save some, things like soybean oil and table salt can be used for a few more months, and the saved expenses are not 01:30.The jars containing soybean oil can be used for a long time, adding an extra item to the family.

When Yan Heng was looking for people to garrison the fields, he had the consideration of using these people to influence the local people. The soldiers in each military station were mainly local people, and only the officers were selected separately.Soldiers who have been in the camp for a certain period of time and perform well can get family leave. One day a month they can go back to reunite with their families. Even if their family leave has been used up, other people who have not used it can take things back with them. .

Of course, every time before going back, Shangguan would repeatedly tell him: don’t say what you shouldn’t say, don’t do what you shouldn’t do.

But in this year, the word loyalty and filial piety is the most important thing. If the sheriff gives them food, they will work hard for the sheriff, so what's the point of keeping their mouths shut?Make a lot of money in silence, they don't want people to think that life in the military camp is too good, come and compete with them for a position!

Yan Heng didn't understand the mood of these soldiers, but seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, he felt that this reward was not useless, and as long as conditions allowed, he could continue in the future.

Wu Ming was also feeling emotional, but what he was feeling was that people of this age are so foolish.

If this is changed to later generations, which factory boss dares to use this thing as a welfare, don't expect to recruit people in the coming year!

But the soldiers in front of them didn't know the reason why the wool came from the sheep, and they were all grateful to Dade!
