Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 261
To be honest, Zhao Yi doesn't really like to get involved with the military, because he knows that Ying Zheng is very strict about military power.

Before he was enthroned as emperor, Zhao Yi never took the initiative to get involved in the affairs of the military, except for passive things, such as the immediate matter of logistics and military supplies.

That's a fat job, otherwise, how could there be self-examination? In Zhao Yi's view, the quartermaster who was found out is a fool. He directly greedy for logistics supplies, which is to bring disaster to the whole family. If it were him, it would be absolutely impossible to do so Dry.

Military supplies are related to the combat power of the Qin army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important yamen in the army, and at the same time, it can also reap huge benefits for itself.

There was no way to reach out before, but now that it is free, someone naturally moved their minds. Ying Zheng probably had a headache at the moment and didn't know who to choose as the quartermaster, so he thought of Zhao Yi.

So when Zhao Yi arrived at the imperial study, there was already a lot of noise in the hall, especially Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe, each of them was louder than the other.

They are all military generals, they are heroic and invincible in fighting the enemy, and they have few opponents in the world when they quarrel.

But at the same time, Zhao Yi also saw the left minister Li Si and the right minister Feng Quji, Jiancheng Hou Zhaohai, Changwu Hou Cheng, Wuxin Hou Feng Wuze, five doctors Yang Mu and others.

But these people were watching coldly from the sidelines, as if they were waiting for the quarrel between Qiang Lian and Yang Duanhe to come to an end, and they would go on again.

But these people can wait, but Ying Zheng can't wait any longer. Seeing Prince Zhao Yi coming in, Ying Zheng slapped the table and said, "Shut up, you guys are arguing and talking nonsense. What I want is Quartermaster, not a good brawler!"

"Now we, Daqin, don't sit back and relax. Our enemies are in the grasslands, in the icy and snowy places. Once the army penetrates into the enemy's territory, logistics supplies are very important. What use are those messy things you mentioned for military supplies?"

"What I want now is to be able to go deep into the enemy's territory, and still be able to guarantee the military supplies, and to ensure the rations of the soldiers. If you can't solve this problem, you should forget about the post of quartermaster!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe shrank immediately, and the others were also stunned.

Let the group of people in front of them count as a thousand, they might not even blink their eyelids, but it is really embarrassing for them to think about such details about military supplies.

Especially asking them to figure out how to ensure safe food and military supplies in the enemy's territory is simply too difficult for these warriors on the battlefield.

Even Feng Jing, who had been in charge of the Taiwei Mansion for so many years, couldn't help but feel his scalp numb after hearing Ying Zheng's words.

Li Si widened his eyes and thought for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, your concerns are not unreasonable. There are indeed many cases where our army goes deep alone, but the food you mentioned is probably impossible." do it."

"Usually in such a situation, we can only obtain local materials, and it may not be realistic to carry them with us."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qiang Yan also yelled, "You have also led soldiers. In such things as war, especially when a single army goes deep into the enemy's rear, soldiers can carry dry rations for three days at most. This is already the limit."

"Even if you can take it for a few more days, your majesty, you have to consider the weather and other factors. You are a bit too strong!"

Zhao Yi walked into the crowd silently, listening to what the people around him said, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

[They are all a bunch of idiots, they can't understand the meaning behind the old stuff's words, of course it's really difficult for some strong people, but it's not impossible, just make the compressed military rations and it's over! 】

[The old thing is actually talking about the compressed military rations of later generations. With Daqin's current assembly line technology, it is too simple to make this kind of thing. 】

[Just knead soy products, wheat and locust powder together, then add condiments, press them into shape, and then dry them to make food that can guarantee military supplies. 】

[This kind of food is not perishable after processing, can withstand various harsh environments and temperatures, and is rich in nutrients, which can quickly satisfy people's hunger. 】

[Of course, the taste may not be very good, but on the battlefield, especially in the situation where you can't get supplies after going deep into the enemy's rear, this thing will come in handy! 】

Zhao Yi's heartfelt thoughts fell into Ying Zheng's mind, and Ying Zheng was dumbfounded at the time.

The reason why he just put forward such a condition was completely an excuse. The purpose was to allow the group of guys in front of him who only knew how to quarrel to retreat in spite of difficulties.

But Yingzheng never expected that Zhao Yi would come up with the idea in two or three clicks, and after careful consideration, it was really feasible.

In this way, each soldier only needs to carry such a piece of compressed military rations, and he can last for a long time. When the time comes, the problem of military rations can be solved very well.

The plan I have been planning all along, to go to Mobei to wipe out the last hidden danger on the grassland, will be able to be realized!

"Your Majesty, if you don't change the conditions, it won't work!" Qiang Yan said at this moment, interrupting Ying Zheng's train of thought.

"Hmph!" Ying Zheng came to his senses, gave Qiang Yan a cold look, and said in a loud voice, "Since you can't even meet such a small requirement from me, then let's leave it at that. I will personally take care of the military needs of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

Yingzheng really wanted to try it now. Zhao Yi said that the matter of reducing the military rations, in fact, he was also worried that the people below would not be able to do it well, and it would be more appropriate to do it himself.

"No, Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs, how can you hinder your time because of such a trivial matter!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have a lot of things to do every day. Just leave the little things to us, so I won't trouble you!"

"Your Majesty, you have already decided that if the general needs to delegate this, it is better to go to the court tomorrow morning. Let's discuss it again. You will take charge of it yourself. Doesn't it seem that we are too incompetent!"

Everyone said in unison that they were unwilling to let Ying Zheng get involved. Their purpose of arguing here was to fight for their own interests, but if Ying Zheng got involved, they wouldn't even have the soup to drink.

The other people who hadn't spoken just now couldn't help but stare at Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe, blaming these two idiots for making things too much, now it's all right, no one will have anything to eat.

"That's the deal, you guys back down." Ying Zheng was too lazy to listen to their arguing anymore. If there was a way, they would have thought of it and said it just now, so why wait until now.

Now that Ying Zheng had obtained what he wanted to know from Zhao Yi, he no longer looked down on the group of people in front of him, and sent them away directly, and then prepared to do it himself to make a living.

Seeing Ying Zheng's words, everyone suddenly became frightened and could only pull their heads and retreat.
