Wang Shouyi snorted coldly, "If he wants to show off, then let him do it. It has nothing to do with us. He will definitely take out all the food in the military warehouse and distribute it to the people. Just wait and see. There will be a lot of scolding in the barracks. In a few days, the army and the people will be alienated."
When the military advisor heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Since the military and civilians have lost their minds, should we ..."
He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Wang Shouyi waved his hand.
"No. I am still a criminal. The Yang guy from Jiaozhou is still watching me. I must not act rashly. When this matter calms down, I will make them pay the price. By the way."
Wang Shouyi pursed his lips and looked in the direction of the salt field. "That guy over there is talented, loyal and gullible. He is very useful to me. If you can appease him, appease him. Don't let them know how much is in the military warehouse. Remember, don't leak a single thing! That is my coffin money, I can't let those low-class people get away with it."
The military advisor understood, "Yes! My Lord, looking at the current situation, I think there will be many places where food and fodder will be needed in the future. Do you want to reduce the food and clothing expenses of the soldiers?"
Wang Shouyi opened the military tent and took a look at the soldiers who were training in the distance.
It was early autumn and the weather was getting cooler, but the soldiers were still wearing their summer shirts. They were so skinny from hunger that there was not a bit of meat on their arms.
Wang Shouyi concealed the complex emotions in his eyes.
Ordered in a cold voice.
"Reduce it. As long as you don't starve to death, it's fine. Don't buy more autumn clothes. As for the rice porridge we usually eat, add more water and wild vegetables to it."
———
That night, Captain Sun looked at the white rice porridge that was so thin that his face could almost be seen in it, and he couldn't help but get angry for the first time.
"How can this be!"
But even though he was angry, Wang Shouyi still didn't throw away the bowl in his hand.
If I lose it, I will go hungry tonight.
It's rare, but better than nothing.
The soldiers on one side were trying to persuade, scold, and howl.
"Why do we have to eat these? Sinan's food is so good."
"If only I had joined the Sinan Military Camp, I wouldn't have to suffer so much!"
Captain Sun listened to the soldiers' passionate and indignant discussion and remained silent for the first time.
Not far away is the garrison of the Sinan soldiers.
The fragrance of rice noodles wafts from afar, making people salivate.
Captain Sun suddenly recalled what Wu Daqiang had said to him.
I can't suppress it no matter what I do.
A few days later, they were still eating thin porridge and water. The soldiers' rebelliousness became more and more serious, and they were all starving and emaciated.
Captain Sun had no choice but to ask Shu Jian for help, asking him to let the soldiers who were guarding the salt field enter the salt field to look for crabs on the beach and catch some fish and shrimp to satisfy their hunger.
Shujian agreed quickly.
"You can, but you can't touch anything in the salt pan. Otherwise, you will be punished by military law."
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes raised.
"Have you fallen to this point? Do you still have to rely on the soldiers to fill their own stomachs? Where can you find elite soldiers to catch fish and shrimp?"
His mouth is really poisonous
Captain Sun didn't say anything for a long time.
"The situation is tense and food is scarce. General Wang must have thought a lot before making this decision."
"Really? But a few days ago, I went with my county magistrate to visit General Wang, and his tent was filled with delicacies from land and sea, with no shortage of anything."
Captain Sun was angry.
"Don't make up stories and sow discord. Captain Sun lives a hard life. How could it be like what you say?"
Shujian raised his eyebrows, held the sword and turned around to inspect the salt field.
Captain Sun took the soldiers to the beach to catch fish and shrimp.
That night, the soldiers built a charcoal fire and grilled the caught fish and shrimp, and they wolfed them down without even peeling the shells or removing the bones. It was the most filling meal they had had in days.
With Shujian's release of water, the soldiers on duty almost caught all the fish and shrimp in the salt field, leaving the salt workers with a frown on their faces every day.
They also have to rely on fish and shrimp for food!
All the news here was passed to Xie Ling's ears by the spies.
Xie Ling raised an eyebrow.
"The time has come."
The second day.
Something big happened in Chang Shou’s military camp.
Chang Shou's military treasury was stolen!
