Chapter 581 What a Beautiful Thought!
The Ning family soldiers did not eat mutton soup for lunch, but they did eat fried tofu soup, which was still fist-sized white steamed buns.
For dinner, each person had a bowl of chive and egg drop soup. More than a dozen soldiers carried out several large buckets, and everyone lined up with their own bowls.
Then everyone saw a large bowl of white rice with two vegetables on top.
One cabbage and another lettuce can still see the foam of meat slices. The aroma of the vegetables wafted, and the soldiers of the two armies swallowed their saliva.
I really want to throw away the dry grain cake in my hand. Compared with the food of Ning Jiajun, what they eat is just feeding pigs.
The soldiers of both armies were so envious that they ate like wax.
Ordinary generals usually eat the same food as the soldiers, except those with higher military ranks who are hospitalized and receive three dishes and one soup.
They all thought to themselves that they couldn't believe that the Ning family army could eat so well every day.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Ning family army did not disappoint everyone, eating in different ways every day.
Of the three meals a day, one always contained meat, which made the soldiers of the other two armies feel miserable as soon as meal time came.
The Ning family soldiers who had been encouraged to leave and join the two armies were filled with regret when they saw this.
They left in order to eat meat. Now they can indeed eat meat every month or two, but their former comrades now eat meat every day!
It’s been more than a year since I last saw them, and each one of them has grown a lot stronger. Their faces are rosy and they seem to be eating well.
Many people had second thoughts and secretly asked their comrades who had been on good terms with them before, if they wanted to come back?
Without Ning Xi's instructions, the generals simply refused.
Huh, you left so coolly, now you want to come back? Phew, what a beautiful thought!
In just seven days, a sharp contrast emerged. The Ning family soldiers lived warmly, were well-fed, and were in better spirits than the last.
The soldiers of both armies were often woken up by the cold, and they ate even more dry grain biscuits every day. Their faces were full of sadness, especially when it was time to eat, they almost wanted to rush to the Ning family army to rob them.
Gradually, the soldiers of the two armies started to make a fuss. They all responded to the generals, why were the Ning's army treated so much better than them when they were all here to fight?
After receiving that all the food, grass and military supplies for the Ning family army were provided by Xiacheng, the soldiers continued to make trouble. They also wanted to improve their treatment, feed and clothe themselves.
Soon, the news was fed back to Jing Han and Li Zefei.
Jing Han smiled bitterly after hearing his subordinate's report. He had guessed that this might be the case. Ning Xi would never play his cards right.
After Li Zefei heard the report, he was filled with hatred. That guy from Ning Xi must have deliberately gone against them. It was so abominable!
The two of them came out of the yard and met each other.
"Where are you going, Prince Jing?" Li Zefei asked with a meaningful smile.
Jing Han sighed, "I want to go to the young prince's courtyard. Where is Prince Li?"
"I'm here to see Prince Jing." Li Zefei said straight to the point.
Jing Han raised his eyebrows: "I wonder what Prince Li wants from me?" He guessed it in his heart.
Li Zefei's face turned ugly, "I believe the soldiers in Jing Shizi's army have also started to make trouble, right? Ning Xi has gone too far, so I want to invite Jing Shizi to come over and talk."
"What did you say?" Jing Han had a bad feeling.
Li Zefei said matter-of-factly: "Of course I want Ning Xi not to shake the morale of the army and change the food to be similar to that of our two armies."
How much military expenditure would it cost to wear and eat the kind of clothing that Ningxi provides to soldiers? He, Prince Li, didn't want to incur such a large amount of expenses, and he couldn't afford it over time.
