408. Turn helping into a business seeking a monthly pass,

Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: https://The fastest update! No ads!

Marco hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and had to smile embarrassedly.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw Lin Zhenyuan pressing down Ma Ke's arrogance, he felt secretly happy and became increasingly satisfied with Lin Zhenyuan.

After the Guanning Army and Xuanfu Town Army arrived at the camp, Lu Xiangsheng specially added a meal for them in order to win over the morale of the army. Not only could they eat enough, but they also had fish and meat, which greatly increased the appetite of the Ming soldiers who had worked hard all the way and their morale increased a lot.

The first main course they had actually had only two types of main dishes, stewed with potatoes, braised salted fish, and some bone soup. Such standards have already made these Ming soldiers very satisfied.

The most important thing is that the New First Division has special cooks and is willing to put seasonings when cooking, which is not comparable to the Ming army's food. Although it is not as exquisite as the restaurant's food, the soldiers are already salivating as long as they look at the heavy oil and water on it.

Many soldiers in Xuanfu Town have fought side by side with the Jinzhou Army and have basically understood the food standards of the Jinzhou Army, so it is not surprising. This is the first time that the Guanning Army soldiers of Mako have eaten such a big meal in the military camp, and they are very excited.

"It's so delicious, better than the banquet I ate in the restaurant. Is the food in the south so good?"

"It shouldn't be true. If anyone can bear eating like this all day, the mountains of gold and silver will be destroyed. Maybe it's because we just arrived and we specially added a meal for us."

"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. The master Lu made it so authentic. The meat and fish are so salty, so it is definitely full of ingredients."

"The key is that there is no bitter taste. It should be good salt, which is a bit like salt produced by Jinzhou military."

"This taste is made with chili sauce? It tastes so good."

"I really invested a lot. Jinzhoujun's chili sauce is not cheap. Only a little bit of it will be used in the restaurant."

"After eating the food here, how can we eat our food? It faded out of the birds and there was a strange smell. Those guys completely treated us as pigs."

"You're wrong. How could they feed us as pigs? We are not even as good as pigs!"

"That's right, just look at this steamed bun, it's fragrant and soft, and there's no sand or stones yet, and it's all good cornmeal."

"Just with this meal, I won't have a waste of time. If I eat like this every day, Governor Lu will do whatever I ask me to do."

"What are you thinking about? You can eat it every day. You can burn the fragrance once every ten days and half a month."

...

The soldiers were extremely satisfied with the food, which invisibly increased Lu Xiangsheng's prestige. After all, it would be good to be able to eat well these days, and it would be a great favor to be able to eat well.

This was the first time that Ma Ke had come into contact with the Jinzhou Army's logistics supply system, and was very surprised that the New Division provided such a high standard of food.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Lu Xiangsheng was the matchmaker to Ma Ke and Yang Guozhu, Ma Ke raised his doubts to Lin Zhenyuan: "General Lin Shen, do your soldiers usually eat like this?"

"How is it possible? How can I serve the meal if I eat this way?" Lin Zhenyuan quickly denied.

After hearing this, Ma Ke nodded. After a long time, Lu Xiangsheng became a big shot and won people's hearts.

"There will be no more food tomorrow, only salted fish with potatoes, so you don't need to think about the meat." Lin Zhenyuan said regretfully.

"Salted fish stewed with potatoes? Is there still fish to eat tomorrow?" Marco was uneasy.

"As long as the waterways can be kept open, it is okay to eat salted fish every day. I'm afraid that the soldiers will get tired of it after a long time." Lin Zhenyuan nodded.

"Do you have a lot of salted fish?" Marco asked curiously.

"Of course there are too many salted fish produced in not only Jeju Island and southern Liaoning, but also Shanghai. The key is that the price of salted fish is cheaper, which is much more cost-effective than eating meat." Lin Zhenyuan said with a proud look on his face.

In this era, the fish harvests in the coastal areas are abundant, and as long as you are willing to put in your efforts, the harvest will generally be good.

In particular, in order to vigorously develop the fishing industry and fill the food gap, the Jinzhou Army strongly supported fishing.

Two important tools for fishing: boats and fishing nets. The Jinzhou Army not only produces them themselves, but also encourages civil forces to join in.

After all, fishing boats do not require as high technical content as warships. In addition to ocean-going fishing boats, ordinary boat yards and even workshops can be built.

In addition, the Jiangnan area originally had a foundation for shipbuilding, so the shipbuilding industry has developed very rapidly in recent years.

As for fishing nets, although there are no new materials from later generations, the developed textile industry of Jinzhou Jun has made fishing nets a batch industrial product with high quality and low price, and can no longer become a constraint on the fishing industry.

The booming fishing industry has brought a large number of fish catches. If these fish catches cannot be digested in time, the industry will not be able to continue to develop. Fortunately, there are not many other things in Jinzhou Army, and there is enough salt. The endless fish can be made into salted fish and preserved for a long time.

Once dried salted fish are made, the fish harvested from the sea will truly become commodities, and there is a possibility of long-distance trafficking.

Jinzhou Jun even went further and directly processed the salted fish into canned salted fish, reaching the level of ready-to-eat when opened. Of course, if it could be heated, it would definitely be more delicious.

In southern Liaoning, Jeju Island, and Shanghai, there are many fish processing factories. There are small family workshops for several people, and large factories with hundreds or thousands of people. As long as they catch fish, they all want them except those that cannot be eaten.

The booming production and sales have made more people invest in the industrial chain of fishing and processing, which not only enriched the Jinzhou Army's food source, but also created considerable economic value.

Thinking of the Jinzhou Army soldiers having fish for every meal, Marco suddenly felt that the big meal in front of him was no longer delicious. If the Jinzhou Army soldiers were delicious and spicy, and his soldiers ate grass and yelled bran, Marco could imagine the resentment and anger of his subordinates.

"Supervisor, if the food is different, I'm afraid the soldiers will complain." Ma Ke couldn't command Lin Zhenyuan, but he could ask Lu Xiangsheng for help.

"Have you ever said that the food I distributed will be different?" Lu Xiangsheng deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"This, this..." Marco was stunned for a moment. He just imagined it based on the routine, thinking that everyone was eating their own food.

"Don't worry, you are killing enemies for the country. I will treat you equally. Everyone eats the same food, and no one will be special." Lu Xiangsheng just wanted to hit Ma Ke, not wanting to embarrass him too much.

"It's because the official misunderstanding, please don't blame me. I love soldiers like my sons, and I'm so grateful." Ma Ke quickly admitted his mistake.

"If you want to thank you, let me thank General Lin Shen. He raised all these foods from Jiangnan. If it weren't for him, let alone eating fish, it would be nice to have porridge now." Lu Xiangsheng carried Lin Zhenyuan out in time.

Yang Guozhu was used to this kind of thing. He knew that Lu Xiangsheng could not get much money and food from the court, and his life was not because he was supported by Lu's God of Wealth.

Ma Ke looked at Lin Zhenyuan with admiration and a fool's expression. It would be fine if he didn't make money when he became an official, but he actually used his own money to give it to the public. It was really weird.

"Sir Lin, thank you." No matter what I thought, Yang Guozhu and Ma Ke still expressed their gratitude to Lin Zhenyuan.

"No, no, everyone is killing the enemy for the country, so they should work together and advance and retreat together. However, the officials also have a request, please help from the two adults." Lin Zhenyuan was first arrogant and then took the opportunity to express his request.

"Please speak by Lord Lin." Ma Ke and Yang Guozhu said politely.

Lin Zhenyuan raised the request to hand over the prisoners' refugees to the Jinzhou Army for processing.

After hearing Lin Zhenyuan's request, Ma Ke immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Lin Zhenyuan would make some excessive requests, but it turned out that he just wanted those refugees.

"Of course there is no problem with this. Please rest assured Lord Lin. As long as the refugees are captured, I will definitely send them to you." Ma Ke said with his chest patted.

"What a small matter, why bother with me? Lord Lin, don't worry." Yang Guozhu felt the familiar smell again.

"Thank you so much. Of course, we won't let the two adults work in vain. As long as we hand over the people to us and get them away smoothly, we will pay a piece of silver for each person." Lin Zhenyuan not only provided food and grass, but also prepared to pay according to the cap.

Yang Guozhu was not surprised at all, while Ma Ke's eyes shone and said repeatedly: "How can you be so embarrassed, how can you be so embarrassed."

"This matter is quite troublesome. You can't make it difficult for your brothers to do it. It's better to give some hard work." Lin Zhenyuan said with a smile.

Spending money to buy refugees is not because Lu Ruolin has too much money to spend, but because Lu Ruolin is worried that if there is no reward for money, these Ming troops would not sincerely help the Jinzhou army gather refugees. After all, it is definitely not easy to hand over the refugees to the Jinzhou army. The best way is to make these refugees valuable.

When help becomes a business, the Ming army will not feel that refugees are troublesome.

Lu Xiangsheng watched the three of them reach a deal, his heart full of bitterness.

The Ming army treated the people like grass and wanted to kill them all, but the Jinzhou army would rather spend a huge price to transport the people away. The gap between them was too big.

People can carry boats or overturn the boats. If the imperial court continues to do this, the people's hearts will probably run to the Jinzhou Army.

Although everyone in the court knew that this was dangerous, no one was willing to give up their own interests to make changes.

It is difficult to get back, and there is no cure for it.

The Ming army was repairing, and the rebel army was not idle either.

After Yang Guozhu and Ma Ke arrived, Hao Yaoqi looked at the Ming army that had become very powerful and did not dare to take it lightly. While reporting to Li Zicheng and requesting reinforcements, he built fortifications to prepare for the Ming army's attack.

Fortunately, Li Guo led 100,000 reinforcements to arrive at this time, which made Hao Yaoqi breathe a sigh of relief.

"Old Hao, it's a scary thing for you. We haven't seen anything before, so what?" Li Guo joked.

Hao Yaoqi said with a serious expression: "Major General, this time is different. The Ming army is completely different from the Ming army we have seen. Everyone is wearing armor and has a lot of muskets and cannons. And they also have a navy to transport food and grass for them. Although there are not many people, it is very difficult to deal with."

"I have been sending whistle drivers to inquire about their news these days, but they are suppressed by their whistle drivers and cannot even get close. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

Li Guo is also a soldier. When he heard about the situation, he began to get serious. "There is such a thing? Take me to see it."

Hao Yaoqi did not dare to neglect and brought all the elite soldiers and Li Guo to inspect the enemy situation.

In the middle of the rebellion army and the Ming army, the whistle and cavalry of the two sides confronted each other, constantly preventing each other from approaching their camps. Judging from the results of the battle between the two sides, the Ming army completely gained the upper hand.

Moreover, the Ming army had telescopes, so they did not need to get too close to observe the situation of the enemy camp. They only needed to catch the survivors of the tide of the treasury army, and the task was relatively simple.

After Hao Yaoqi took Li to a small slope, he beat him to death and refused to let Li Guo stay closer.

"Major General, you can't get closer. If you get closer, you will easily be attacked by enemy whistlemen. The range of their muskets and crossbows is too far."

Li Guo looked at the Ming army whistle cavalry who was eager to try in the distance and wisely followed Hao Yaoqi's opinion. They were all veterans, so he naturally knew when to be cautious.

At this time, Hao Yaoqi carefully took out a copper tube from his arms and handed it to Li Guo.

"What is this?" Li Guo asked curiously.

"This is the clairvoyance of the Ming army. We have lost many brothers to get such one." Hao Yaoqi said with distress.

"Qianliyan? How to use it?" Li came over and became interested.

Hao Yaoqi patiently taught Li Guo to use a telescope. This is the method he used through the whistle chasers and then explored little by little.

After Li Guo clearly saw the Ming army's camp through the telescope, he couldn't help but shouted excitedly: "What a baby! It's so amazing!"

Li Guo couldn't let go and watched for a long time. Not only did he look at the Ming army's camp, but he also carefully observed the Ming army's whistle cavalry.

When he found that several Ming army whistle cavalry were also observing him with telescopes, he suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by prey and felt very uncomfortable.

"Does there be many clairvoyant Ming army? Why do you have those whistle cavalry?" Li Guo asked curiously.

"According to our observation, the captains of the Ming army's whistle cavalry are all clairvoyant. I think there should be quite a few things on the Ming army." Hao Yaoqi said truthfully.

Li Guo felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, but said, "It doesn't matter. When they are killed, no matter how many good things are, we will be."

"Major General, this battle may not be easy to fight. I am afraid that the chance of winning will not be great if I take the initiative to attack the enemy camp." Hao Yaoqi said worriedly.
