For Yun Zheng, one hundred sheep wouldn't cost much money.
He just wanted to let the people in Beidaying know that they would get to eat meat if they followed him!
When Yun Zheng met Lu Xing for the first time, he didn’t talk much.
After Lu Xing walked around the camp, Yun Zheng left.
"General Lu, will the prince really send me a sheep?"
After seeing Yun Zheng off, the personal soldiers around him asked Lu Xing expectantly.
Lu Xing nodded gently. "He is a prince, he won't break his promise for such a small amount of money."
Considering his salary, he certainly could not afford to buy a hundred sheep even if he went without food and drink for ten years.
But Yun Zheng is a prince after all.
Moreover, he was the only prince in the Dagan Dynasty who was crowned king as an exception!
...
...
If His Majesty gave him some reward in exchange, it would probably be enough to buy a hundred sheep.
"Then we can have a feast?"
The soldiers couldn't help swallowing their saliva at the thought of the delicious mutton.
At this time of year, the sheep have just gained weight in the autumn and the meat is at its fattiest.
"Um."
Lu Xing nodded slightly, but he was secretly confused.
What does this prince mean?
Does he really want to help his brothers improve their food, or does he have other purposes?
Could it be that he wants to win me over?
He is a prince, so there doesn't seem to be any need for him to win me over, right?
What is there in the Tian soldiers in my battalion that is worth winning over?
If he really has this idea, he might as well win over Huo Gu who is guarding Shuofang!
Moreover, he never showed any intention of winning me over from the beginning to the end!
"This prince is pretty good!"
The guards laughed and said, "He is generous and doesn't put on airs! The people above us are not usually very nice to us, but they are more arrogant than each other! Even more arrogant than the prince!"
"Shut up!"
Lu Xing turned his head and glared at his guards, "Watch your mouth and don't make trouble!"
He has suffered a great loss because of this mouth.
He has learned from his mistakes and is now much more cautious in what he says and does.
The personal soldier smiled bitterly and said no more.
At dusk, the one hundred sheep sent by Yun Zheng arrived.
Looking at these fat sheep filled with autumn fat, almost everyone was secretly swallowing their saliva.
"It's just a hundred sheep, isn't it? Look how greedy they are!"
A soldier who was delivering the sheep whispered to the person beside him.
"You've only had a few full meals, and you have the nerve to laugh at others?"
Another soldier laughed and cursed: "If it weren't for the prince's kindness, wouldn't you be greedy now?"
"Haha, that's right, that's right!" The soldier nodded and laughed, "We can't help it, we are lucky to have met the prince to be the general of our South Camp!"
"Yes!" another soldier said with emotion: "I can eat meat every day and have fine grains to eat. This is a life I never dared to dream of before!"
Although the voices of the few people were not loud, the people who came to receive the sheep could all hear them.
"Brother, brag!"
A hairy-faced man approached them and asked, "You guys eat fine grains every day, and you can have meat every day?"
"What bragging?"
The soldiers of the South Camp were not happy. "Go to our South Camp and see if we are bragging. We ate meat last night and at noon today!"
“Is this true?”
The hairy-faced man still didn't believe it, "Eating like this will destroy a mountain of gold, right?"
"Who do you think our prince is?" The soldier from the South Camp said proudly, "Our prince is the only prince in our dynasty who was crowned as an exception! If we pluck any hair from his body, it would be enough for us to eat for half a year!"
"That's enough! Why are you arguing with him?"
Another soldier called out to the soldier from the South Camp, "Don't waste time, hurry back and have dinner!"
“Yes!”
The man slapped his head suddenly and said, "Go, go quickly!"
Having said that, several people left in a hurry.
It was as if he was rushing back to eat delicacies from land and sea.
They had only been away for a short while when the news that the people in the South Camp could eat meat and fine grains every day spread to the North Camp.
Although some people are skeptical, more people are envious.
It’s still Tian Bing!
Others eat meat and fine grains every day, but they are very stingy when it comes to coarse grains and cooking with water!
This difference is really huge!
…
In the next few days, the news that the people in Nandaying could eat meat and fine grains every day spread completely.
Many people were skeptical at first.
But after those skeptics went to Nandaying under various pretexts such as visiting friends, this matter was completely confirmed.
As a result, the defenders of Shuofang City and the soldiers in Beidaying completely envied those in Nandaying.
If they were not afraid of being charged as deserters, many people would have defected to the South Camp.
Huo Gu naturally knew the situation in the camp very clearly.
Seeing that the soldiers had no intention of training all day long and were finding all kinds of excuses to get free meals at the South Camp, Huo Gu was almost going crazy.
"If this continues, all the soldiers in the city will run to the South Camp!"
Huo Gu paced back and forth in the barracks anxiously, and said to the deputy general beside him: "Hurry up and think of a way to stop this wind!"
"What can I do?"
The deputy general smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, General, I want to go to the South Camp to eat!"
Big chunks of meat!
White flour buns!
Rice!
Who the hell doesn’t want to eat?
The Shuobei War is imminent, and no one knows whether they will be able to survive after this battle.
Who doesn’t want to eat enough before the war starts!
"you……"
Huo Gu was almost vomiting blood because of the deputy general's words. "Don't you know the long-term consequences? If this continues, all the troops will turn to the Sixth Prince!"
"I know."
The deputy general smiled bitterly and said, "But what can we do? The Sixth Prince paid out of his own pocket to improve the food for these soldiers. What can we do? Do we still have to order the Sixth Prince not to do this?"
"Then issue a ban in the military!"
Huo Gu said with a sullen face: "No one in the camp is allowed to run to the South Camp!"
"No way!"
The deputy general sighed helplessly: "If we issue this ban, I'm afraid those soldiers in the camp will hate us to death..."
It is said that cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents!
They prevented these soldiers from going to the South Camp to eat and drink for free, which was almost like cutting off their source of income!
If the soldiers' resentment accumulates too much, there might even be a mutiny!
"I……"
Huo Gu choked slightly and shouted angrily: "Are we just going to watch the Sixth Prince eat away at our military's morale?"
If this continues, no one will listen to him, the defender of Shuofang City!
They all treat the Sixth Prince as their breadwinner!
The deputy general sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Unless we also pay out of our own pockets like the Sixth Prince to improve the food for the soldiers..."
"Can the little money we have afford such a feast?"
Huo Gu asked back in a bad mood, and then said depressedly: "Besides, I have a family to support!"
Yun Zheng is the prince!
Even a single hair plucked from your body would cost you one or two years’ salary!
Compare your wealth with the prince?
Isn't this simply sick?
"If it doesn't work, you can tell General Wei about this situation!"
The deputy general was also in a headache, "Maybe, we can ask General Wei to allocate some money and food to us..."
Huo Gu frowned, thinking carefully about the deputy general's words, but he did not reply...
