"Old Pifu Xue, do you believe what this kid said?" General Ma Lao glanced at Old General Xue and asked.

General Xue poured a bowl of wine again and said: "It doesn't matter whether the old man believes it or not, the important thing is that the matter of military food is solved, and in the future, the soldiers of our army will have a lot less worries, and the old man will come to the king tomorrow to invite credit for this kid, according to the old man, if he does a few more such things, this title should be promoted again." ”

Li Yi's current title is county uncle, and if he rises one more level, he is the county candidate, and when he reaches the level of the prince, he can be regarded as the most powerful among the powerful.

Among several veteran generals, General Xue Lao and General Ma Lao fought for a lifetime, and made countless military exploits before they were able to be crowned dukes, as for the other veteran generals, they have a lot of prestige in the court, but the title is only a county candidate.

"How can you have the monopoly of the matter of inviting merit?" General Ma snorted coldly and said, "Tomorrow, a few of our old fellows will go with you." ”

Li Yi was a little stunned when he looked at the side, these old people seemed to have forgotten something, right?

Don't you need to ask for your own consent for such a thing?

In fact, for the title and official rank, he has now looked very lightly, anyway, after the old emperor dies, these will be empty, it is better to reward Qian'er with eight million taels of silver.

"Ahem, Old General Xue, there's no need to invite merit." Li Yi put down his chopsticks and said, "Otherwise, you can discuss with Your Majesty whether you can convert it into silver ......."

"What does that translate to?" Old General Xue's eyebrows furrowed.

"You don't have to ask for credit." Li Yi waved his hand and said: "It's all about contributing to the country, you see that I am so young, I am already a county uncle, if this is rewarded again, I am afraid that there will be many people in the court who are not convinced, which is not conducive to the stability of the court, or convert it into silver ......, or forget it." ”

"!"

General Xue slapped the table fiercely and said: "Merit should be rewarded, guilt should be punished, it has been like this since ancient times, they are not convinced, they have the ability to help His Majesty solve the problem of military rations, if you don't have the ability, you will talk less nonsense, who dares to say more, the old man will pinch his eggs!" ”

Tsundere Lori tugged at Li Yi's sleeve and asked, "Sir, what is an egg?" ”

"Ahem!" General Ma coughed heavily, glared at General Xue fiercely, and said: "Although Old General Xue talks nonsense on weekdays, this sentence is reasonable, and meritorious service should be rewarded, you don't have to worry, who dares to have half a sentence of nonsense in the court, the old man pinched his ......, cough, cough, the old man will have a good talk with him." ”

Li Yi was reluctant in his heart, the old emperor named him a county uncle, and many people in the court were dissatisfied, if this went up one more level, what would the officials of the family who had worked hard for the country all their lives and not yet earned a knighthood think?

Do less things that offend people, and be hated by so many people for no reason, this is not his style!

After I go back today, I'm afraid that I will have to stay up for half an hour at night to write a book of "Military Rations", and I don't know what the old emperor will reward this time, what about the silver, I'm afraid there is no hope, the old emperor picks it, and the thing of naming 10,000 copper coins 10,000 gold has been done, don't think about what rich rewards can be.

In his previous life, he didn't owe them to the old Li family, not to mention the tiring preparation for the construction of the college, but also to compile books, eat and drink with him, and now he has to raise a daughter for him, one is two ------ what are you trying to do?

Forget it, bow your head to eat, the Xue family's meals are very light, the taste is average, the plate of wild vegetables in front of him is quite in line with Li Yi's appetite, when he was a child, he liked to eat the wild vegetables that his grandmother dug from the ground, it should be called pulp water vegetables, and he ate porridge, almost a fixed meal every day.

Although the taste is still different at this time, it also evokes a lot of memories for him.

Tsundere Lori can't stand the food of Xue Mansion a little, she often rubs rice at Li's house, Li Yi or Ruyi cooks herself, she is now a little disgusted with even the skills of the imperial chef, seeing that Li Yi only ate a dish in front of her, her eyes rolled, and she also took a big mouthful, but she was almost spit out with bitterness.

Generally speaking, a family with a little status will have more etiquette requirements in all aspects, and those who don't eat and sleep are silent, and Tsundere Lori has a deep understanding of this before coming to the Li Mansion.

However, several veterans didn't know what table manners were at all, drinking in a big bowl, eating meat, and the matter of military rations was solved, and they were happy in their hearts. ”

"Military rations are military rations, and business is business, how can these two things be linked together?" Old General Xue frowned and asked.

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Military food is also food, why can't you do business, not to mention, it is something to eat, soldiers can eat it, civilians can eat it, and naturally you can do business." ”

Instant noodles are a good thing, and they have created a sales myth in later generations, and the bear children can't do without it, and they almost don't have to consider the risk of doing this business.

He also looks at the situation of the Xue family, it doesn't seem to be so good, I think a few veterans should be similar, on weekdays, these veterans have a lot of protection for him, if there is anything that can help him, he naturally has to help him.

Moreover, there is no better partner for this business than Jiangmen.

Several veteran generals also understood what he meant at this time, and General Ma looked at him and asked, "You mean to say that we produce our own military rations and do business with Your Majesty?" ”

"Not only with Your Majesty, the military rations produced are enough, and they can also be sold to civilians......"

Several veterans were silent, and after glancing at each other, they all saw a hint of intention in each other's eyes.

The situation of the family, they naturally know better than anyone else, they are still veterans, and the life of the whole house is still passable, but if it is a few years later, everything is unknown.

When it comes to arranging troops and fighting on the battlefield, they are all first-class good players, but when it comes to doing business, they don't know anything.

The decline of Jiangmen is even faster than that of the other Wenchen families, and they have to leave something more for their children and grandchildren before burying themselves in the loess.

"Is this really possible?" Old General Ma looked at Li Yi and asked.

Before Li Yi spoke, Old General Xue laughed twice and said, "Nothing else may work, this kid is in business, but he is a first-class good player, but this is doing business with His Majesty------ don't we want to take advantage of Your Majesty?" ”

Old General Xue stood up and paced back and forth in the hall: "As a courtier, isn't this disloyal to Your Majesty?" ”

General Ma nodded, stood up, and said: "Eating the king's money, sharing worries for the king, and solving the problem of military rations is what we courtiers should do, so how can we talk about business with Your Majesty in this way?" ”

Li Yi looked at them and asked tentatively, "So how much silver do the two generals plan to give out ------?" ”

"One thousand taels." Old General Xue said.

"The old man is not as rich as the Xue family, he scrapes together, smashes pots and sells iron, and he can probably make up a thousand taels." General Ma said with a smile.

"The old man is also with a thousand taels." General Song stroked his beard and said.

"Old man eight hundred!"

"The old man is also with eight hundred!"

Li Yi put down his chopsticks, "Deal!" ”
