Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After breakfast, the squad leaders elected by the cooking team carried these wooden barrels out of the camp area, and they went to "take out" the garbage.

The garbage area was divided yesterday. In fact, some of it was dumped for dinner yesterday, and it was picked up by some poor people near the pier.

These people are often homeless, so weak that they can't even do work, and many have various disabilities, or are old and weak.

There are quite a few of these people escaping at the pier, and it is estimated that there may be as many as several hundred people.

Yesterday's news had already spread, and today the "garbage area" designated by the Tang army gathered people here early.

"This general... are you going to throw it away?" When these cooking squad leaders came here with these "trash cans", and gathered here, some poor people with peculiar smells on their bodies, some bold people were cautious. asked.

After they passed by yesterday, they all knew that these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were more talkative, so they became more courageous.

"Yes." A cooking squad leader said after a moment of silence.

"That, can you give it to us?" These poor beggars asked cautiously.

These beggars now are not as arrogant as those in later generations, not to mention they are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Well, I'll give it to you, anyway, we can't finish what's left." These squad leaders put down the barrels very simply.

Soon these beggars surrounded him instantly.

The things were quickly divided, and the porridge was all drunk by their hands or old wooden bowls, and there was nothing left in the end.

These cooking squad leaders understood why the captain said that these things would not be wasted. These people were from Silla, but for some reason, these cooking squad leaders were not in a good mood.

Many ordinary people living on the pier saw this scene in the distance, but they didn't say anything. Although they envied the wealth of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they didn't want to compete with a group of beggars for food.

What's more, if these beggars can survive, it will save them from hustling, and... After all, they are also human beings. They are ordinary people and there is nothing they can do. It is a good thing that they can survive.

After breakfast, at the gate of the barracks, the coolies came early yesterday. They received the news yesterday that there was still something to be delivered today, and the wooden signs from yesterday were not taken back, so they just brought them over.

But yesterday they all received food... More people came today.

At noon, all the soldiers of Datang ate outside, which was considered the most luxurious meal.

After eating, some leftover meals, greens, and vegetables were carried and thrown to the "garbage area" outside in the same way.

The things thrown away at noon are even more "luxury". There are even a lot of bacon, ham, and some meat in it. Although the amount is not large, there is indeed.

The beggars and poor people waiting here are all looking at these things eagerly. They have smelled the smell for a long time just outside the camp.

Now watching these things being taken out, they are all swallowing the saliva in their mouths frantically.

"That...these dishes are all raw, you can't eat them directly, otherwise, if you eat them, your stomach will be ruined, and you may not be able to recover if you get sick." A cooking squad leader couldn't hold back, and reminded the beggars.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. We have a pot, just cook it." A beggar nodded hurriedly.

Several cooking monitors didn't say much, they just gave them things.

After they left, a large group of beggars finally gathered together. There was a lot of food at noon, but it was certainly not enough for each of them to eat.

In the end, they decided to follow the words of these Datang soldiers and cook it.

So, some old pottery pots, and even a few complete pottery pots were put on the fire, and then they put some leftover green peppers, cabbage, scallions, and what seemed to be dried tofu, and a small amount of bacon, The ham was carefully put into the pot.

Finally mixed a bunch of discarded sauces, leftover stir-fries, etc. into a pot and boiled them up so they could eat a little more and add a lot of water to fill them up abdomen.

Maybe it was because there were a lot of things in the morning and yesterday, they were not too hungry, maybe it was because the Tang army was nearby, they didn't dare, in short, although there were a lot of beggars, they didn't fight for them.

Soon, these pots exuded an unprecedented strong fragrance. Smelling this smell and watching the things tumbling inside, these beggars swallowed their saliva frantically.

A beggar couldn't help but said: "I heard that there is also this kind of cooking and eating in Datang. It seems to be called hot pot. Are we hot pot?"

"Haha, it must be. We also eat hot pot, but it is the hot pot in the army, and it tastes so delicious =, what is it called? Is it called army hot pot?"

"Or army hot pot?"

A group of beggars couldn't help laughing out one after another. I'm afraid they haven't seen such a smile on their faces for a long time.

It's just a name they joked about casually. I don't know if it will be passed down completely in the end.

But, sometimes... history is always surprisingly similar.

But what they didn't know was that Xue Rengui had already been eyeing them.

Beggars, beggars, homeless old, weak, sick and disabled, poor people who can't afford food, no matter what the composition of these people is, their influence is minimal and terrible.

It is even possible to fall asleep at any time and never wake up again.

But they're... not useless.

"Political Commissar Wang, I will leave this matter to you. Tomorrow, we will implement the original plan for one day, and increase the proportion of whole steamed buns and some leftovers among the meals thrown away."

"Then the day after tomorrow, you will come forward and ask them to do us a favor on the pretext that they ate our food."

"The request doesn't have to be too difficult. We need some branches that are not too thick and longer, and let them pick them up. Then we will use these things to make a fence to serve as the fence of the resident." Xue Rengui said calmly.

"Understood, Captain, just look at me. This move is better than Captain's." Political Commissar Wang said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's all taught by His Highness. In addition, we are planning to hire people on a large scale to clean up the camp area we have drawn and build the pier."

"We can hand over some building materials to these local people to prepare. The salary of craftsmen will be increased by three times, and the salary of some master craftsmen will be increased by five times." Xue Rengui shook his head.

"Yes. The preparatory work can be completed tomorrow, and the relevant follow-up materials can also be delivered tomorrow, and the recruitment can start the day after tomorrow."
