Chapter 533 Recruiting Soldiers
The emperor happened to be here and was curious about the canteen in Beishan Camp, so he wanted to go and take a look.
Su Xiuye pointed to the cafeteria not far away and said, "Those two floors are the cafeteria."
The emperor took a look and said, "It's quite big."
He thought the cafeteria was a place the size of a kitchen.
I didn’t expect that the entire long building from one end to the other was the size of a two-story building.
Su Xiuye explained, "There are two floors of the cafeteria, and different windows correspond to different foods. Everyone can order dishes and rice according to their preferences. Normally, there are three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, and the staple food is enough to satisfy your appetite."
"You can buy food freely on the second floor. If you want to eat something else, you can go there and buy some more. The food there is more abundant..."
The emperor immediately understood and said, "The first floor is to ensure that everyone has enough food. If you want to eat something else or something more substantial, you can go to the second floor to buy it."
Su Xiuye nodded and said, "That's true, but the food on the first floor is actually quite rich, and every meal is different."
The emperor nodded, he thought this was fine.
I feel like no canteen in other military camps can compare to the one in Beishan Camp.
When he actually entered the dining hall, the emperor found that it was really spacious and bright. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, the tables were clean, and there were windows, through each window one could clearly see the food on the plates below.
It was almost dinner time, and some of the food was ready and placed on the window.
The emperor was surprised to see how sumptuous the meal was.
Although they are all simple meals, there are both meat and vegetarian dishes.
There are fried eggs with loofah, fried fish, stewed chicken with potatoes, etc...
"Can I eat now?"
Su Xiuye explained: "We can eat when it's time to eat."
"About a quarter of an hour."
The emperor noticed that there was a lot of food in the window, and it smelled delicious.
He knew the recipes for some of the dishes in Beishan Camp, which were also developed by Madam Su.
This Madam Su was truly an extraordinary woman and made many contributions to the Great Yan Dynasty.
The emperor then went to the second floor and found that the food there was more abundant, including fried skewers, rolls, grilled skewers, chicken and beef wontons, dumplings and other foods.
The emperor felt that this visit to Beishan Camp had broadened his horizons, and he also knew what the canteen of Beishan Camp, which people talked about so much, looked like.
The emperor also wanted to try the food in the cafeteria.
If the food was made somewhere else, Su Xiuye really wouldn't dare let the emperor taste it.
But the people who cook in Beishan Camp are all strictly selected by the Su family. They have all been tested in practice and are loyal to the Su family.
Including the ingredients, they are all personally inspected and screened by Shen Yueyao's manor to ensure there are no problems before they are delivered to the cafeteria.
When it arrives at the cafeteria, it will undergo layers of inspection to ensure that there are no problems before the food is cooked.
Although the Beishan camp only has 30,000 soldiers, it is an iron wall and no one can get in.
Since the emperor wanted to taste the food, Su Xiuye naturally had to allow it.
The reason why the emperor dared to do this was because Su Xueyi and Madam Su sent him many bottles of spare medicine and detoxification pills before leaving the capital.
Moreover, Su Xueyi also taught him some ways to identify medicines.
So he has the ability to protect himself.
An Yi's expression changed, "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
It is best for Your Majesty not to eat out.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's safe here, don't worry."
Seeing that the emperor had made his decision, Su Xiuye took the plate and helped the emperor get his meal.
The emperor said, "I can do it myself."
The emperor followed Su Xiuye's example, took the plate, and then followed the instructions to get his meal.
There are three meat dishes and three kinds of ingredients, which are quite a lot. The staple foods include rice and steamed buns, which are enough to fill you up.
The emperor and Su Xiuye sat down to eat. He tasted the chicken stewed with potatoes and nodded, saying, "It tastes really good."
"And this loofah scrambled eggs, the eggs taste great too."
"This fried fish is delicious too."
The emperor was used to eating food prepared by the imperial kitchen, so he had to praise it.
The cooking ingredients are really good.
No wonder the soldiers can train seriously and with peace of mind.
If you can eat enough, you will naturally have strength.
The emperor felt that the Beishan camp was well trained.
He couldn't help but think about it and said, "If I recruit another 30,000 soldiers, can you still train them?"
Su Xiuye said excitedly: "Yes, I will obey the orders of the emperor."
The emperor knew that the border was not stable at the moment, so he still wanted to recruit more soldiers.
Of course there were other military camps, but the emperor saw that Su Xiuye managed the military camp so well, and the soldiers were well trained and made great progress, so he naturally wanted more elite soldiers.
So we plan to let Su Xiuye recruit another 30,000 troops.
After the emperor had his meal, he took his men back to the palace and issued an imperial decree to expand the Beishan camp to 60,000 troops.
The court officials couldn't object even if they wanted to.
The emperor today is no longer the same as when he first ascended the throne. He now holds real power and has absolute say.
Not to mention that there are some officials in the court who are newly supported by the emperor and are all loyal to him.
Many of them were those who were exiled back then. Those young people took the exam and returned to the capital to pledge their allegiance to Yan Hanxi again.
Not long after, the people arranged by the emperor also built a workshop on the emperor's private farm.
Papermaking began.
Even so, the news of cheap paper appearing in Hezhou had spread to the capital.
It attracted great attention among the nobles and businessmen in the capital.
Many people couldn't believe it.
“How can paper be cheap?”
“Paper is so difficult and expensive to make, how can it be cheap?”
"It's true. Cheap paper has appeared in Hezhou. I heard it's a new type of paper developed by Madam Su."
When they heard Mrs. Su, everyone fell silent.
It is true that Mrs. Su is very well-known.
When she followed Su Xueyi to Beijing for the imperial examination, she was already a sixth-rank lady when she entered everyone's sight.
Everyone wanted to make friends with this Madam Su, but she refused to attend any banquets.
She is only busy with her farm and shop.
But who knew that Mrs. Su would really cause such trouble.
Her shop is doing very well.
It also made the village at the foot of Lulin Mountain popular in the capital.
Everyone likes to go there for barbecue when they have nothing to do.
It’s a milk tea bakery that everyone likes to visit often.
Of course, takeout has emerged now.
Anyway, they didn't understand. They heard that it was the man named Lin Chi who was close to Madam Su who formed a team with a group of people.
As long as you apply for a gold card membership in the store and write down your address, when you want to buy bread, someone will come to your door to ask you. After learning the quantity you want to buy, they will go to the store to buy it and deliver it to you.
This is so convenient.
Now they don’t have to queue up and can drink fresh milk tea and eat bread and cakes at home.
