Everyone turned around and saw that it was Zhang Shize who was returning to Beijing to see off the prisoners. They all blushed for a moment.
They were clamoring to leave, but Mr. Zhang, who was usually despised by everyone, rushed back to the army station at this time.
Mr. Zhang is usually a playboy and a fool, and everyone despises jokes. But a strong wind knows a strong grass, and a rough man knows a loyal minister. After all, the eldest son and grandson of the most distinguished person in the Ming Dynasty has some blood and bones.
For a moment, the civil servants who had caused Yang Fan to make trouble just lowered their heads in shame.
"Give me a bowl too, use a big bowl. I'm starving to death." Zhang Shize took off his cloak and threw it to the soldiers behind him, panting.
"It's so damn dangerous. I took my cavalry servants and rushed to the city gate before the Oirat people encircled me. If we were even close, it would be over." Zhang Shize said with lingering fear.
"You tell me, why are you coming back? Isn't it great to be in Beijing?" Yang Fan said with a wry smile.
The reason why he plays well with Zhang Shize and treats him as a buddy is because this guy has a bad temper with Yang Fan. Although he comes from a noble family and is from the top noble family, he has something in him that many people in this era no longer have.
thing.
"I am the deputy commander of the Beijing camp, and the war is about to begin. How could I not hurry back?" Zhang Shize was not polite and went directly to Yang Fan. He picked up the extra-large sea bowl sent by the Huotou Army and started
Eating wontons noisily.
"I'm starving to death. After riding a horse for a day and a night, I ate some dry food and drank some milk." Zhang Shize took a big gulp of wonton soup and smashed his mouth with satisfaction.
"Shrimp wontons, okay, I just love this bite." Zhang Shize said with satisfaction.
Yang Fan has long been tired of eating beef and mutton. This is the only thing that is abundant here. Now Yang Fan eats more seafood for breakfast. These are prawns caught on the beach and dried shrimps, which are shipped here. After the water is cooked, they are mixed with mutton.
Wrap wontons with leeks.
The wild leeks on the grassland are very delicious. The chive flowers made from wild leeks are also a rare and delicious thing in the mainland.
When everyone saw it, Uncle Dingyuan made up his mind that he would have to eat even if the sky fell. The biggest thing in the world was eating. They had no choice but to pick up the bowls and eat wontons.
It has to be said that they followed the Beijing camp on the expedition this time and did not suffer any crime at all.
I originally thought that when the army went on an expedition, I couldn't afford anything, so I just had to survive. At least I had to endure it and go back when I got my military merits and qualifications.
Unexpectedly, this time the army went out with so many supplies that it felt like going out for a group outing in the spring. In the winter, there were cotton tents, stoves, briquettes, dehydrated vegetables, beef and mutton, which was enough to eat. Their food was all from Dingyuan.
Uncle left.
What we eat is rice and white flour, beef and mutton, game, and seafood (mainly canned sea fish, dried shrimps, sea cucumbers, and abalone). Seafood in this era is not expensive, and there is a lot of it in the sea, but the preservation methods are backward.
Yang Fan provided later methods to the processing factory in Beitangkou. Great progress was made in processing sea cucumbers, abalones and other processes. At the same time, going to the sea to touch sea cucumbers and abalones also provided many employment opportunities for the locals. With enough raw materials,
, now there are more than a dozen seafood restaurants opened in Beijing.
It’s not that no one eats in the capital, there are too many rich people. There are just not enough fresh raw materials, and there are no good cooking techniques. In order to sell seafood, Yang Fan directly published the seafood recipes of later generations. As a result, they sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Visited more than a dozen seafood restaurants.
These big seafood restaurants are packed every day and open until midnight. Anyway, the curfew has been canceled in the northern part of the capital. The emperor wants to increase the business hours to collect more taxes.
They were the first to get the news about the army's auction of trophies. Yang Fan also turned a blind eye. After all, he only considered selling the things so that he could make up for the arrears of the troops in the Beijing camp and the four towns. As for who could buy the goods?
He doesn't care when someone comes to visit him.
These people notified their relatives and friends one after another, and rushed to Dongsheng City as soon as possible. They bought a lot of good things first. They themselves also gained a lot.
Yang Fan slowly finished eating Huan Chaos. At this time, everyone had finished eating and looked at him with big eyes and small eyes.
Yang Fan sighed, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was completely over. There was not even a single backbone civil servant. Everyone was as anxious as if their own house was on fire.
In fact, Yang Fan hates these people. They are here to cause trouble to Yang Fan. Each one has to take extra care. However, it depends on the owner when beating a dog. After all, it is the emperor's wish. Yang Fan can only endure it. Now they
If you want to leave, you can get rid of all these human-shaped cameras.
"If you all need to return to Beijing for business, I have approved all of them. Shize, please arrange a boat. It's been more than a year since I came out, and it's time to go back and report to work. You have worked hard this year, living in the open and in the wind. Shi Ze
Ze, please give each person fifty taels of carriage fare. Let’s express our feelings. I am here to wish you all a safe journey.” Yang Fan stood up and cupped his hands.
"I have to go to the North Gate to inspect the defense, so I'll excuse you now." Yang Fan stood up and said.
Everyone didn't expect that Uncle Dingyuan not only didn't get angry, but was so easy to talk to, and also gave Yicheng fifty taels. Although none of them were short of the fifty taels, it was still a good intention. Uncle Dingyuan did this beautifully, well
When we got together and parted, there was not a single unpleasant word.
"Uncle Dingyuan, you are busy, you are busy"
"I don't want to bother you, Marshal. I'll just handle it myself."
"My uncle is from our Jinyiwei. Naturally, I feel sorry for our brothers in Jinyiwei. I won't say anything. In Jinyiwei, my uncle will only have errands to do from now on. If we say anything to evade him, we won't be considered human beings."
Yang Fan smiled, clasped his fists one by one, and then led his soldiers to the North City Wall.
Zhang Shize smiled bitterly. He was actually quite angry with these guys. But after thinking about it, it was a good thing that these people left. They had no effect here except causing chaos. They were all gone and everything was clean.
Gao Qiqian looked at the others. They surrounded Zhang Shize like a swarm of swarms, which was even worse than the siege by the Oirat people outside the city. He felt a bit contemptuous in his heart. He turned around and went out.
Gao Qiqian looked at the railing toward the north city, where the Oirats were arranging their troops and preparing to attack the city.
Zhang Yixian came over and said in admiration: "Gong Gao can still keep his composure. We feel inferior to ourselves."
All the eunuchs bowed in obeisance.
"You guys, if you want to be successful in the future and be able to take on the work of the Long Live Lord, you have to think carefully about the word stability. Otherwise, we will be useless today as villains, why bother."
