The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 113 Long live
Since winning the extension, Liu Zhenhua's team has enjoyed a lot of peace and stability. He fully understands the principle of taking too long and taking advantage of the situation. Every time he conquers a place, Liu Zhenhua always has to pay both ideological and military attention.

Control people's hearts.

From time to time, Liu Zhenhua would go to some villages to show his holiness, conjure up hundreds of bowls of porridge, and then cook it in a big pot to give to the people.

In the surrounding villages and towns of Yanchuan and Yanchang counties, people who promote Stove King can be seen.

“Everyone has clothes to wear and everyone has food to eat.”

"I would rather be a natural soldier than an emperor."

The militia under his command has expanded to [-], and the number of heavenly soldiers is [-]. Daily training will also produce a small number of heavenly soldiers.

It is estimated that it will take a month or two to reach the upper limit of [-] at this speed.

Among the heavenly soldiers, there are 1 crossbowmen and [-] Mo Dao hands. The number of Mo Dao hands has begun to increase, mainly because Liu Zhenhua's restructuring has relaxed the requirements for crossbowmen. A person who can accurately shoot three times in one minute is considered qualified.

The sweet potatoes growing in the fields outside the city were gratifying, and even if Liu Zhenhua sent troops to guard them, the people spontaneously gathered around the sweet potato fields.

People come here every day to watch and giggle at the green sweet potato field.

The entire Yanchuan extension area, except for those ravines, is all earthy yellow.

This green space is so rare.

This is hope.

The common people are like this. If they stutter and have hope, they are all peaceful. How can they rebel?

Everything is developing in a good place, except for one thing, which is the scarcity of talents.

It's not that there is a shortage of people to lead troops. There is no shortage of company commanders or platoon leaders. There are many who are excellent in training. These are all malleable talents.

What is lacking are literate civil servants.

This problem was a flaw of the Ming Dynasty. As the economic center moved south, the center of education also moved to the south.

Although the Ming Dynasty has consciously intervened in this issue, it is still unable to change the situation.

Throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, there were a total of 870 Jinshis in Shaanxi, ranking seventh from the bottom among the nineteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty!

Don't think that seventh from the bottom is already good. Look at the following provinces. Liaodong, the last from the bottom, is a place of bitter cold.

The following Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi are all places filled with miasma.

Look at the No. 1 Zhejiang Jinshi, there are 690, which is more than four times that of Shaanxi.

In Yanchang and Yanchuan counties, there were not many literate people. Most of them were sons and grandsons of landlords, and many of them were killed by Liu Zhenhua.

The officials in the city also killed a small group, and the rest, although they were very sensible, were used by Liu Zhenhua.

But it still cannot fill the vacancy at the grassroots level.

"It will be better if we go south."

Liu Zhenhua said in his heart that these are not trivial matters. What Liu Zhenhua is looking forward to is the reaction of the heavenly soldiers when they see the new meal tomorrow.

Yes, Liu Zhenhua's reputation will be enough to upgrade the reputation meal after it is refreshed tomorrow.

This new prestige meal not only contains rice, eggs, meat, and even vegetables.

"Go ahead and summon all the heavenly soldiers and militiamen tomorrow. Don't let them go out for training."

Because Liu Zhenhua's territory changed from one county in Yanchuan County to two counties.

The training content of the militia and the heavenly soldiers includes a long-distance running.

"In addition, there is news that the Kitchen King will provide better food to the heavenly soldiers tomorrow.

People who come to watch can also get some gruel. "

The advantage of this is naturally that it can make the people fear the Stove King even more.

It can also stimulate them to join the army more enthusiastically.

Now Liu Zhenhua does not force people to send one person from every household to join the militia.

The number of soldiers is already large enough, and there is still an endless stream of people who want to join the militia, because the militia is in charge of the food, and there is a good chance of being promoted to the heavenly soldiers.

I would rather be a natural soldier than an emperor, not just for words.

Only after most of this group of people have advanced to the Heavenly Soldiers will Liu Zhenhua expand his recruitment on a large scale.

The two people in the hall holding hands in front of Liu Zhenhua's door were two government officials from Yanchang County.

Liu Zhenhua gave these two people the opportunity to serve as militiamen, but they were unwilling. They wanted to be gatekeepers, not militiamen, or soldiers. They just wanted to serve Liu Zhenhua, pass messages and so on.

"This is to be a Zhou Deng."

Liu Zhenhua couldn't help but smile a little, but he didn't refuse. There were people trying to get into camps everywhere, and these things were unavoidable in this world.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liang, the yamen servant, cupped his hands and said, then quickly ran outside and walked out of the county yamen. He had a cheerful smile on his face and hummed a tune. He was full of thoughts about what the Kitchen King would give the heavenly soldiers to eat tomorrow. of curiosity.

That day, he stood on the city gate and was one of the defenders. He saw with his own eyes the Kitchen King's magical methods.

Therefore, when King Zhao later gave him the opportunity to serve as a militiaman, he did not become a militiaman. Whether he was a militiaman or was promoted to a heavenly soldier in the future, there was no way he could follow the Kitchen King.

The gatekeeper in heaven is also a god.

Zhou Deng followed Guan Gong around in the past, but now he has entered the temple. Maybe Zhang Liang will be remembered like this in the future.

The news spread quickly in Yanchang County, and the people in the city were excited. Not only did they have melons to eat, but they also had free gruel to drink. People in the streets and alleys were discussing what food the Kitchen King would give to the heavenly soldiers this time.

"It's all just white porridge, pickled mustard and eggs. What else can such a precious thing have, like big fish and big meat?"

"Who knows, could it be Xiantao?"

"It's impossible. The Stove King is not in charge of the fairy peaches. Otherwise, there would be so many fairy peaches. They should be food that can be seen in the mortal world."

The people talked about it one after another. Such a huge gossip was the best way to pass the time for the people who did not have any entertainment activities in ancient times.The Heavenly Soldiers who got the news behaved in the same way. They were all curious. White porridge and mustard eggs were what they had imagined. No, they had never imagined that they could eat such good food before. They would never get tired of eating this stuff for the rest of their lives. .

Now it has been replaced with a new one, and with the Kitchen King’s temperament, it must be better food.

The militiamen are even more eager to become heavenly soldiers. Who can bear this? The eggs have not been eaten for a long time, and new things have to be added.

It is conceivable that the treatment of heavenly soldiers will increase even more in the future.

Not to mention there is an elixir that can make people live forever, at least it is big fish and meat.

Who would dare to think about big fish and meat every meal?
Hehe, in the past, if someone told them that someone was eating plain porridge, mustard and eggs, they would also say, "You fart!"

But now, hey, step up your training and quickly advance to become a heavenly soldier.

I hope to have a prestigious meal earlier in the future!

The news has not yet reached Yanchuan, and there are only militiamen left behind in Yanchuan.

Prestige meals are not easy to preserve. If the Heavenly Soldiers leave the team and stay away from Liu Zhenhua for a day, they will not be able to eat the Heavenly Soldiers meal.

In order to avoid this situation, Liu Zhenhua made such a move.

That's fine, the heavenly soldiers are all elites, and they can also be regarded as Liu Zhenhua's personal soldiers!
The kind that won't betray you at all.

In terms of interests, no one can give them better treatment.

In terms of relationships, Liu Zhenhua saved them from fire and water, gave them such good treatment, and treated their families so well, how could anyone betray him?

In the future, those who master guns will also be these heavenly soldiers, just like the Ming Dynasty's firecrackers and red cannons are in the hands of the Shenji Battalion.

At night, according to modern time, it was just eleven o'clock.

With the people of Yanchang and even the heavenly soldiers and militia looking forward to it, the second day finally arrived.

Liu Zhenhua had already gotten up at five o'clock before morning. He directed the militiamen to pour bowls of porridge into large pots.

There was a fire burning under the cauldron, and the firelight illuminated the faces of the surrounding militiamen. They all had excited looks on their faces.

Some are still discussing what kind of food the Kitchen King has prepared for the heavenly soldiers.

There were many people around, and militiamen were maintaining order.

The common people were also underestimating in a low voice. Because there were too many of them, although they were talking quietly, the sound at the scene was still very loud and noisy.

As the protagonists of this incident, the heavenly soldiers formed a neat square formation and stood facing the people. There was a huge open space between them and the people.

This design is also to allow people to see the prestige meal after this upgrade more intuitively.

These onlookers are the best tool to spread the reputation of Kitchen King.

The sun soon climbed up from the east.

By the time it was completely light, the aroma of porridge filled the entire venue, making the people swallow their saliva.

Liu Zhenhua walked slowly in front of the heavenly soldiers and the common people.

His gaze slowly swept over the people. The people who looked at Liu Zhenhua all had expressions of reverence on their faces.

A large part of them are the Xiangyong who originally defended the city, as well as the relatives of those Xiangyong.

It can be said that these people respect the Kitchen King even more than the people of Yanchuan County did at the beginning.

Because those brave men among them had watched the Kitchen King conjure so much food with their own eyes.

The family members of those Xiangyongs listened to their relatives constantly telling the story of the Kitchen King, and they also respected the Kitchen King extremely.

After all, how could his family deceive him?

"Long live the Kitchen King!"

Suddenly a man fell to his knees.

Then there was a row of people.

All the people present knelt down like dominoes.

They knelt down and worshiped devoutly, and the shouts were not uniform at first, but then all the people present shouted "Long live the Stove King" in unison.

The heavenly soldiers behind were also infected by the atmosphere and shouted long live the Kitchen King.

Even the people watching on the city gate and wall in the distance were chanting these four words.

Liu Zhenhua couldn't help but be a little infected by this atmosphere.

He spread his arms, spread his hands downward, and waved to signal everyone to be quiet.

The people present gradually became quiet from near to far.

"Everyone, get up."

Liu Zhenhua shouted loudly.

"All the people in the world and even myself are one family. Long live everyone in the world!"

Liu Zhenhua.Lower one arm, make a fist with the other hand, and wave upward.

"Long live everyone in the world."

he shouted.

The surrounding people, the surrounding heavenly soldiers and militiamen were stunned for a moment.

Then they all followed Liu Zhenhua and shouted, "Long live everyone in the world!"

"Long live everyone in the world!"

The sound resounded throughout the sky and lingered for a long time.
