East Factory Governor

Chapter 740

The owners of the restaurants in Baoding City were only notified the day before (considering safety issues, it is impossible for Qin Shuhuai to notify in advance, otherwise, he would suffer if spies mixed in and poisoned on a large scale), but they immediately gathered together spontaneously after receiving the notification Let's discuss the largest running water mat in the history of Baoding City.

First of all, they delineated the "sphere of influence", more than 3 soldiers, according to ten people per table, a total of 120 tables, right?There are [-] large and small restaurants participating in the production of this banquet, so let's divide it up and how many tables each family is responsible for.

At the beginning, the rule was that larger restaurants would have more tables, and small restaurants would have fewer tables, but soon the owner of the small restaurant quit.

Why, our restaurant is small, so we can't afford a few tables of wine?Now that the imperial court has a new policy, business and travel are intertwined, and the common people have a lot of spare money, which restaurant's business is not better than before?Let's make a month's money for nothing, can we reward the soldiers?

You must know that according to the regulations, whenever a restaurant is in charge of making that table, there is a sign of that restaurant next to it!That's propaganda, but also face!There are dozens of tables and dozens of tables in the house, with a row of signs inserted, and you only put in two or three signs, isn't it shabby?

After a lot of quarreling, everyone finally decided that each restaurant will be divided equally, and each restaurant can serve 19 tables.

As a result, the owners of various restaurants all went to the battle in person, recruiting their own buddies to cook various special dishes.As for the ingredients and so on, most of them are specially bought from other places - because the price of vegetables in Baoding City has risen to the point that they can no longer buy them, so they have to consider the cost if they are generous?

As for the fact that Grandpa Guo promised to reimburse all expenses, no one took it seriously at all.

Just kidding, so who would have the nerve to ask the Duke for some money?Can the store still be opened after the news spread?

In short, in this banquet, not only every soldier can eat and drink at the table, but also the table is full of good wine and food!

On a July night, the cool breeze is blowing and refreshing.

The aroma of vegetables on the street, accompanied by the aroma of wine, makes people salivate.

No one informed this group of big soldiers in advance, they only received an order to go to the city to spend the night, but when they entered the city and saw tables of delicious food, no matter how stupid they were, they guessed it.

During the expedition, the food in the army can be imagined.Especially in the second half, the food and grass were collected from the Western Regions, and they couldn't get used to that taste!
Now that they can finally eat authentic Middle-earth delicacies, won't this make them excited?

Swallow, and then swallow.

Bear, bear again.

When their lord gave the order that they could sit down, there was a burst of cheers.

No matter it is the Demon Sect soldiers, martial arts soldiers or court soldiers, they are completely integrated at this moment. Everyone is shouting and laughing, drinking and eating meat together, the deliciousness that ordinary people can't understand at all.

Open up and eat, eat happily, it doesn't matter if you get drunk tonight, the Duke of the country said, as long as you don't disturb the people, you will be forgiven.

And in Baoding Governor's Yamen, it was even more lively.

Can you imagine, who are the people attending this banquet?

Needless to say, the Jianghe Gang, Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Lai San'er, Pi Gou, Zhang Xiao, Chen Jing, Qiu Dali and others were all there, and even the old Taoists rushed over from Tianjin, that is, Hua Chen was still in the south to host Zheng Zhilong The navy is temporarily unable to make it through.

On the Devil's side, Mei Yinzhi, Jin Gang, Wu Lie, Chen Hou, Buer Sanren, Three Apostles, Six Apostles, and Shen Xi are all present.

On the court side, there are Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng, He Renlong, Du Wenhuan and other generals.

It can be said that there are a lot of talents and elites!
More importantly, most of them are still good wine drinkers.

After Qin Shuhuai took his seat, he first poured a bowl full of wine, and said to everyone, "Soldiers, good brothers from Wulin and Sun Moon Sect, I'm going to Qin Shuhuai, thank you on behalf of the people of Ming Dynasty! Thank you for sweeping away the troubles of the Western Regions, thank you We have opened up the road to the west, and thank you all for exalting the Ming Dynasty! This glass of wine is a toast to you! And even more to the loyal souls who died in the Western Regions!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp!Even Lu Xiangsheng, who rarely drinks alcohol, drank a bowl full of wine!

After this glass of wine, the banquet has really begun!

Immediately in the hall, cups were exchanged, cups were exchanged, it was considered civilized at first, you respect me and I respect you, but after half an hour, the style of painting changed suddenly, those who stood up stood up, those who jumped onto the chairs jumped onto the chairs, Some laughed, some cried, and some pointed and scolded each other.

"Fu'er old man, you fucking blocked me in Ruoqiang, if you don't drink this jar of wine now, I'll never finish with you." He Renlong pointed at Bu'er Sanren and cursed.

This posture seems to be that Buer Sanren blocked him until he owed him, which is completely illogical!
Buer Sanren laughed, "Hahaha, Brother He, don't worry, I didn't say no to drinking! Didn't I just drink a pot, you will allow me to hiccup."

Du Wenhuan pointed at another person and scolded, "Chen Hou, you're so fucking unkind! It's obvious that I'm the main force in the fight against Hami and you should cooperate with me, but you're fine. You invaded the city before we arrived, and you're giving it back to me!" The old king has been arrested, and I am so ashamed that I can't see anyone! Tell me what to do?"

Chen Hou, who has always been calm and honest, smiled slightly. He knew that Du Wenhuan was messing around after drinking too much, but he still said, "General Du, I didn't think well enough, ha ha. I accept the punishment, accept the punishment!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up a jar of wine and drank it down.

But before he finished speaking, Du Wenhuan staggered over again, put his arm around Chen Hou's shoulder and said, "Chen Banner Master, I should respect you, I respect you! Really, I respect you monsters... Oh no, the Sun Moon Sect is a good man! Every one of them is a good man!"

Chen Hou still just smiled innocently, then said "dry" and continued to drink the wine in the jar.

Qin Shuhuai was very happy when he saw these pictures.

After a year of fighting side by side, the Demon Cult and the official army finally reconciled completely.

In this way, the winning rate of the Northern Expedition has increased again!
A celebration banquet greatly boosted morale.The morale of the current coalition army has skyrocketed.

The next day, Qin Shuhuai took the main generals of the Western Expedition, including several chief generals of the Devil's Cult, to the Forbidden City.Chongzhen wanted to summon them in person.

The rest of the soldiers rested near Baoding City.

Chongzhen specially approved 100 million taels to reward the army, and Qin Shuhuai added 100 million taels himself—the docks of the Jianghe Gang made a lot of money this year.

The reward of 200 million taels will be distributed directly, and an average person can get about 50 taels, which is definitely a huge sum.

For the first time in these veterans' careers, being a soldier feels like being rich.

Chongzhen summoned Mei Yinzhi and others in the Forbidden City. They were once mortal enemies, but now they are sitting together, chatting freely about the future.

Qin Shuhuai was naturally accompanying him. You must know that if a master like Mei Yinzhi wanted to assassinate Chongzhen at close range, these big inner guards would definitely not be able to stop him—even though the possibility of this is now very slim.

Mei Yinzhi didn't say much, but watched Chongzhen's words and deeds, and secretly recorded them in his heart.

Chongzhen, although he has the dignity of an emperor, but when it comes to excitement, there is still some youthful madness. This is an ambitious emperor.

The note of the plum seal.

Although Chongzhen lacked a little experience in governing the country, his eyes always shone brightly when he talked about the people of the world. This is an emperor who wants to be famous in history.

The note of the plum seal.

Chongzhen, although the power fell to Qin Shuhuai, he seemed to have no scruples. Whenever he looked at Qin Shuhuai, there was always a smile on his face. It seemed that they were really brothers.

The note of the plum seal.

Chongzhen talked about his big plan to reduce taxes, boldly saying that he would make the world exempt from land taxes forever, and that he would also provide subsidies to poor farmers in the future.He promised to never increase the current tax rate, and said that he would overhaul official roads, promote water conservancy, and develop education throughout the country...

Everyone has food to eat, everyone has books to read, and everyone has jobs, and if the people of Ming Dynasty go to sea or travel far, there is a powerful imperial court behind them to support them.

The people of Ming Dynasty will never be bullied!
Write down one of the plum seals.
