Zhang Nan looked at the people with happy faces, and asked strangely, "Lord Wei, who are they?" ”

Wei Tianwu said with a smile: "I haven't seen this building thing when I see Lord Zhang, and Lord Zhang doesn't look at what time it is, it's time for dinner." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info: The people are going to eat. ”

Zhang Nan seemed to think of something, and said, "Master Wei, are you interested in going with me to have a look?" ”

"Lord Zhang, what is there to see about this person's dinner, but Lord Zhang is going, then I must follow." After speaking, Wei Tianwu made another gesture of please, and Zhang Nan followed the people towards the place to eat.

Walking to the place where he was eating, Zhang Nan looked at it from a distance, and a group of people surrounded the overseer who distributed the food.

Zhang Nan and Wei Tianwu walked to the crowd, and Zhang Nan stopped and stood in place, without going any further. Wei Tianwu saw Zhang Nan stop, and couldn't figure out why, so he had to stand not far from the crowd with Zhang Nan.

The people who had already received the meal, and the people who squeezed out of the crowd, all of them were holding a broken bowl in their left hand, and a dry and small cake made of unknown ingredients in their mouths, squatting not far away, and gathered together to eat in twos and threes.

Zhang Nan waited quietly for all the people to finish receiving their food, and after all the people received the food, Zhang Nan walked to the two overseers who distributed the food, although the two overseers didn't know Zhang Nan or Wei Tianwu, but they knew Wang Ge next to Wei Tianwu.

As soon as he saw Wang Ge coming, he hurriedly called: "My lord." ”

Wang Ge nodded, Zhang Nan didn't speak, walked to the big pot of soup, took a spoon and scooped it up.

Then he put the spoon back into the pot and said, "I ask you both, what's in this pot?" ”

Two overseers, look at me, I'll look at you, I don't know what Zhang Nan meant by asking, Wang Ge saw that the two overseers didn't speak, and quickly whispered: "What do you want?" Your Majesty asks you something. ”

At this time, one of the overseers said to Zhang Nan: "If you go back to your lordship, this pot is filled with porridge." ”

When Zhang Nan heard that it was porridge, he picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful and said, "Come, see for yourself, is this pot made of porridge?" When you cook porridge at home, you don't put rice in the pot, only water, right? ”

When the two overseers heard Zhang Nan questioning themselves, of course they didn't dare to speak, and they both lowered their heads.

Zhang Nan picked up the cake in the dirty basket next to the pot again, and pinched it, it was harder than a stone.

Zhang Nan fell hard to the ground, such a hard cake, it was not broken. Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Won't you two tell me that this thing similar to a cake is a cake, what is this thing made of, noodles from a few years ago?" ”

"My lord, this thing is made by mixing bran and dregs." One of the overseers saw that Zhang Nan was an official, thinking that Zhang Nan didn't know, and kindly reminded him.

"Do you eat this too?" Zhang Nan picked up the cake on the ground made with bran and dregs, took it to the two overseers and asked.

"This ...... This thing is for the people to eat. One of the overseers seemed to see that Zhang Nan's face was a little bad, and changed the topic.

"Yes, then, Master Wei, let's go see what the overseers are eating? I don't believe it, this emperor allocated grain and appropriation, and it was this kind of thing in the mouths of the people. Zhang Nan turned to Wei Tianwu and said.

Wei Tianwu can be regarded as being in a high position, and obviously he didn't expect these people to eat this kind of thing that can't even fill their stomachs every day, so he said: "Okay, I'll accompany Master Zhang to see the food of the overseers." ”

After Wei Tianwu finished speaking, he said to Wang Ge beside him: "Wang Ge, you lead the way in front and lead me and Master Zhang to the place where the overseers are eating." ”

Wang Ge seemed to be a little hesitant, but Wei Tianwu was more than one level higher than his own official, so he had to lead the way in front.

After a short time, Wang Ge took Zhang Nan and Wei Tianwu to the outside of the overseers' shed, and the overseers inside saw that Wang Ge was coming, and one of the overseers inside said: "Brother Wang is here, come and come, sit down, just eat, so who, go and serve dinner to Brother Wang." ”

Another overseer walked to the cauldron, picked up the bowl and spoon, scooped a bowl of rice for Wang Ge, walked to Wang Ge's side, and handed it to Wang Ge.

However, with Zhang Nan and Wei Tianwu by his side, where did Wang Ge dare to pick it up, so he didn't stretch out his hand for a long time, and the overseer who delivered the food to Wang Ge saw that Wang Ge didn't take it, and he didn't take it back, nor did he stuff it into Wang Ge's hand, so he had to keep holding it.

A few people fell into an awkward situation.

Zhang Nan saw that Wang Ge was hesitant to take it, so he reached out and took the bowl, looked at the porridge in the bowl, which was not much thinner than rice, handed it to Wei Tianwu with a smile, and said, "Master Wei, the food in your Ministry of Industry is really good." ”

Wei Tianwu took the bowl, frowned and said, "You eat this every day?" ”

Wang Ge lowered his head and said, "Yes, just eat this." ”

"Then why don't you eat that bread made of bran and chaff?" Zhang Nan asked strangely.

"Where is that thing that people eat, and they can't eat enough, they can't pull it out if they eat too much, haha." One of the overseers inside laughed.

"Oh? So what you mean is that those people who were conscripted are not human anymore, are they? Zhang Nan turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Why aren't they people, they can eat that is a great gift from the emperor to them, if they want to put it in the previous dynasty, they still want to eat this, and they can deal with it by drinking a bowl of water every day." One of the overseers said as he pulled the rice from the bowl over and over again.

"Master Wei, the management of the construction department of your Ministry of Industry is really an eye-opener for me." Zhang Nan didn't pay attention to these overseers, but said to Wei Tianwu. At this time, Wei Tianwu's face was red, he really didn't expect that the Ministry of Industry he managed would work like this on weekdays.

"Who, Wang Ge, let me ask you, where did the rest of the grain sent to you by the Ministry of Industry go except for you to eat?" Wei Tianwu asked angrily at Wang Ge.

"This and this, it's all in the library, I haven't moved, so I take some out every day when I'm cooking." After Wang Ge finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his head.

When Zhang Nan saw Wang Ge's appearance, he knew that things were not so simple. So he said, "Okay, then please ask Lord Wang to lead the way in front, and let me and Lord Wei see if the grain in this ministry is moldy." ”

"This, this, this, this ......" Wang Ge heard that Zhang Nan was going to see the grain, and immediately began to stutter, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Hurry up, lead the way." Zhang Nan is iron-hearted, he must see how the grain is doing.
