Chapter 1469 Treatment is different
Zhang Yong and Liu Jin were exhausted along the way. They finally met Chen Xi and thought they could be a blessing. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi gave them a warning when they came up and showed their contempt for the military supervisor in front of the soldiers.
In normal times, the two would have been furious and even threatened to complain to the court, forcing the leader to apologize to them and give them generous gifts to seek peace.
But when I arrived at Chenxi, this trick was not easy to use.
Others were afraid that the military supervisor would complain to the court, which would affect the recognition of merits of all the soldiers. However, Chen Xi always had the imperial court to suppress his contributions. There were more people in the court who complained about the crime, and these two people were not short of them. Even if they complained, Chen Xi could still win a great victory, which proved that they were incompetent in the military supervisor and were looking for trouble for nothing.
The result of the complaint will lose the credit you have obtained, which is really not worth the loss.
Zhang Yong and Liu Jin are both familiar with Chen Xi's personality. Even if they are angry, they have no place to vent. This is the reality. There is no other way to compromise. How to fight with Chen Xi is a science. This is the old enemy in the future, and now they have become an allies in the court. They are thinking about how to get benefits from Chen Xi.
Zhang Yong and Liu Jin were arranged in the same tent. More than a dozen soldiers helped carry the box "gifted" by Chen Xi to the door of the tent and put it on the ground, without any intention of continuing to deliver it in.
Zhang Yong said angrily: "What is this? It looks good at the door, right? Why don't you send it into the tent quickly!"
The captain of the guard who led the army said respectfully: "Please forgive me, two military supervisors. This is Lord Shen's order. Please count the good items outside the tent. There is a list here. If the two masters count it correctly, put the seal on the list and press the handprints so that it will be easier to return after the war and there will be no deviation..."
Zhang Yong waved his fists and was furious: "You are so reckless, don't you take our family seriously? Our family is a military supervisor and can kill you at any time!"
Zhang Yong was tortured by Chen Xi. He used to be angry every day when he was in Tumu Fort. Now when he was in the southwest, Chen Xi seemed to be even worse. Zhang Yong felt that he was suffering a huge grievance, so he was a little hysterical.
However, Liu Jin learned to be patient and said in a silence: "Calculate and count. When you lift the lid, count it in front of us. We are watching from the side..."
The soldiers opened the boxes.
Liu Jin and Zhang Yong's eyes turned to the box, and saw a dazzling array of things. Whenever a soldier took out something from it, the guard captain made a record and muttered: "... Ten dou of rice and grain, including five dou of new rice, five dou of Chen rice, two pairs of armor, ninety percent new, and two knives..."
Chen Xi sent ten dou of rice, and one dou was made into twelve kilograms, and ten dou of rice was 120 kilograms. If a person had no meat, there would be no problem eating two kilograms of rice a day, so these rice was equivalent to the cost of one month for two people.
Liu Jin and Zhang Yong originally thought Chen Xi would be more polite, so they could make some money. In the end, they found that it was simply a delusion. Chen Xi sent all the things that they thought were ridiculous, and seemed to be sincere in trying to make things difficult for them.
The captain of the guard asked, "Do you have any objections to the two military supervisors?"
Zhang Yong said angrily: "These rags will be returned in the end? It's fine if we carry them with us. If we don't go to the battlefield, we will return them intact. But how can we do the rice and grain? Could it be that we won't let people eat them?"
The captain of the guard explained: "The two adults misunderstood that the rice and grain were given to you privately by the adults. It is a gift for the two adults to perform their duties in the army. If you don't want to accept the gift, you can choose not to accept it, and then follow everyone to have a big pot meal!"
Zhang Yong and Liu Jin looked at each other. They had never heard of the word "big pot rice". Liu Jin asked, "I'll ask you, what is big pot rice?"
The captain of the guard explained politely: "This is the rule set by the Lord. The army consists of thirty people, and eat around a big pot. Two meals a day to fill the house. The soldiers responsible for the vigil will have a meal, but the meal is reduced by half. No one in the army is allowed to set up a small stove privately, otherwise it will be treated as military law..."
The eunuchs in the military have always been prescribed rules for eating small dishes in the army.
Zhang Yong and Liu Jin both fought with Chen Xi, but the requirements were not so strict before. Even when the Tumu Fort war was at its most tense, Zhang Yong secretly asked someone to open a small stove to make a fire and cook. At that time, Chen Xi knew it and said nothing.
But even if he had a small stove and cooked a pot of rice porridge, the rice grains were pitifully clear. On the contrary, when the army opened the stove, there would be a large number of meat soup made of meat and bones from livestock such as war horses, donkeys, mules, etc. that suddenly died on the battlefield. Therefore, Zhang Yong would basically not have a small stove except that he was so hungry.
Now Shen Xi actually wanted to cut off the qualifications of two people to have small kitchens, which made the two eunuchs of the military supervisor very dissatisfied. Zhang Yong said: "Our family is not suitable for the environment in Jiangnan and cannot eat here. They must eat in the way of northerners... When you go back, tell Lord Shen that there must be a separate kitchen here!"
The captain of the guard politely refused: "No!"
Zhang Yong blushed and was about to get furious, but Liu Jin persuaded in a peaceful tone: "Forget it, what the soldiers in the army eat, our family will eat, and it will be over for a fool. Will Lord Shen still be hungry? If we are really hungry, change to a big bowl and eat more..."
The captain of the guard suddenly remembered something, waved his hand, asked the soldiers to send two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Two soldiers, bowls and chopsticks have been prepared for you, and the other soldiers' tableware is all made into tiled jars. Lord Shen is afraid that you will not get used to it, so he specially prepared bowls and chopsticks for you. This is Lord Shen's kindness, and the two masters need to understand the affection!"
Zhang Yong wanted to go up and hit someone again, but was stopped by Liu Jin.
The captain of the guard said: "All items will be counted and recycled after the war. The three armies shall not waste any money. The losses will be compensated at the price. The two adults, tableware and other items are nothing. If armor and weapons are lost, even the humble position cannot be remedy for the two. Please keep them on weekdays..."
After saying that, the captain of the guard took out a list and asked Zhang Yong and Liu Jin to sign and seal it.
Zhang Yong didn't want to make a name on the list, but Liu Jin didn't have much resistance. He first drew the plagiarism and then pressed the handprint. Seeing that the soldiers had no intention of leaving, he stared at him fiercely. Then Zhang Yong cursed and pressed the handprint on after signing.
Seeing that the matter was completed, the captain of the guard was about to take his people away. Zhang Yong shouted in anger: "A few meanings, you have finished counting the things and won't send them to the tent, so you're leaving?"
The captain of the guard kept walking, as if he hadn't heard it, and led the man away straight away.
Zhang Yong was furious and stood in front of the tent and cursed. Liu Jin sighed and said, "Shou'an, don't be upset. Now that Chen Shangshu is gathering together, he is naturally a bit arrogant and domineering."
"For you and me, this time, it is just a warning to warn us not to ruin his good things. Since we understand his intentions, we will just pretend that nothing has happened and move in by ourselves. We will find someone to sell rice and grain tomorrow. In this way, we can buy some money and get some money in the future... Do you think that with Lord Shen's wisdom, can you still starve you?"
Zhang Yong, whose courtesy name is Deyan and his pseudonym is Shou'an, even though he has a bad relationship with Liu Jin, he has worked in the East Palace before and is somewhat intriguing.
Now that Liu Jin has lost power, and the conflict between the two has not been prominent, he can keep his relationship safe.
Zhang Yong was angry: "When Chen Xi was in Xuanfu, he made things difficult for our family and finally escaped from death and returned to the capital. He thought he had restrained his temperament, but now he has reached the southwest, but he has become more and more serious and wants to torture our family to death. It's really annoying and hateful!"
Liu Jin was lifting a small bag containing rice and grain. He heard this and looked at Zhang Yong with a squinted look. He was envious of Zhang Yong's military achievements in the northwest. Now, when Zhang Yong complained, he seemed to be showing off to him and didn't like to listen.
Liu Jin said: "If you don't move in, you will be able to take away the things. In the future, you won't even have any money to store people. You have to pay out of your own pocket. You can do it..."
After saying that, Liu Jin ignored Zhang Yong and moved things by himself. He was very reserved in his actions, showing that he did not want to fight with Chen Xi.
Zhang Yong was a little puzzled: "Liu Jin used to be quite arrogant. He relied on being an attendant of the Eastern Palace and was domineering in the palace and arrogant. Why did he change his temperament so much after only two or three years?"
He didn't know that Liu Jin had a bad personality before, but after losing power in the past two years, he had been suffering from hardships. In order to rise again, he had to put away his arrogance and pretend to be a grandson in front of others.
Liu Jin's ability to rise in history must have his own merits. After such ups and downs, his personality has become more tenacious, and once he rises, it will become more and more difficult to deal with.
On the contrary, because Zhang Yong made great contributions to the northwest with Chen Xi, his temper began to become irritable and restless, and he did not know the importance of his work. Fortunately, he was still under Shen Xi's command once again. Otherwise, with his arrogant attitude in other people's army, he might be able to do what kind of military supervisors would do, harm others and themselves.
The two spent a lot of effort and Liu Jin took the lead in moving everything into the tent. The tent was simple and Liu Jin sat there to rest.
Zhang Yong was so tired that he suddenly remembered that he had brought a few followers to help. He came to the door and shouted, "Are there any living people?"
A bunch of patrol soldiers came over, not knowing the two, but they felt that their clothes seemed different from those of the soldiers in the army, and they did not dare to fist and kick. The leader asked impatiently: "It has been a long time since nightfall, and the army must not make noise at will. Who are you? Why are you so unaware of the rules?"
Zhang Yongdao: "Our family is the military supervisor who joins the camp today. Who are you? Call our entourage immediately. Our family needs help!"
Zhang Yong knew that Chen Xi and his subordinates would not help him, so he simply found his own entourage, without any use. The leader of the school flattered and said, "The people who came today, except for the two military supervisors, have been driven out of the camp by the adults. You yell again and drive you out together!"
Zhang Yong was furious, regardless of the authenticity, and was swaying there again.
Liu Jin came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Shou'an, you never thought, how could Lord Shen leave the people you and I bring in the army? We are all servants. In Lord Shen's mind, one of them is a rebel spy. This southwest land is so dangerous, and it is a blessing that we can go back alive."
