If Cheng Luan had not been pregnant, Cheng Yaojin would have felt that he had let Li Xiang down in some way, but now everyone in the capital knew that his daughter was pregnant, and it was Li Xiang's first child, so Cheng Yaojin spoke with much more confidence.
Qin Shubao stood by and was filled with envy. If he had a daughter or granddaughter, he would immediately push her to Li Xiang. Judging from the looks of the generals next to him, Qin Shubao knew that Cheng Yaojin's status in the army was also different.
If we talk about military achievements, Cheng Yaojin is indeed not a coward, but there is still a certain distance between him and Qin Shubao. It can be seen from the way they address each other that Cheng Yaojin has to call Qin Shubao brother. But now the situation is different. The other man has overtaken Qin Shubao by marrying his daughter.
"Who is that? Come here. I heard that many seafood here are very delicious. In some taverns in Chang'an City, a table of seafood banquets has already cost hundreds of coins. Can the food here be that expensive?"
Since Li Xiang cannot come, many things cannot be done. Even though Cheng Yaojin is Li Xiang's father-in-law, he cannot make decisions casually when it comes to military and national affairs. If he breaks Li Xiang's rules, it will bring discredit to his daughter.
Cheng Yaojin was a veteran of three dynasties in history and the last of the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion to die. Of course, he was very clear about these little things. We dare not interfere in military and national affairs, but we have nothing to say about eating and drinking.
"To answer the old general, the main reason these things are expensive to transport to Chang'an is the transportation fee. We have them everywhere on the seashore. We have prepared them for you tonight, and we have the most famous chef nearby."
When Ding Tu was talking to Cheng Yaojin, he had a smile on his face. The King of Wu rolled his eyes beside him. He was obviously a person of the most noble status, but he did not expect to be treated differently in the Goguryeo navy. There was nothing he could do about it. It was because he did not establish an alliance with Li Xiang before. Although the relationship between the two sides was good, there was no clear covenant.
If he thought about it carefully, the King of Wu felt that the fault was on his side. When Xueyantuo was in trouble, Li Xiang saved his life. After returning to the capital, no one cared about him, and it was Li Chengqian who helped him.
Logically, the King of Wu should have moved over later, but he still had his own pride. He could cater to the decisions of the Eastern Palace on many things, but he never regarded himself as a subordinate of the Eastern Palace. The King of Wu had hesitated at that time, but in the end, the pride of being a prince overcame everything, and the King of Wu felt that he should still go it alone.
The King of Wu is now feeling a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have clearly stood on Li Xiang's side when Li Chengqian extended an olive branch to him. But then again, if he had clearly stood on Li Xiang's side at that time, then the task of leading the troops to attack Fusang today would not have fallen on him. The emperor would not let a prince from the Eastern Palace lead the troops.
Having Li Xiang is already a headache, and now he has become too powerful to be removed. If the King of Wu is trained again, and is a member of the Eastern Palace team, then Li Shimin should hurry up and become the emperor.
That night, a seafood banquet was held in the navy camp. This was very rare for people in the inland, but it was too simple for them. In their spare time or when they returned from training, these people would just cast a net and catch a variety of seafood.
Moreover, most people live by the sea, and they are born knowing how to catch these seafood. It’s just that in the past they didn’t know that some things were edible, nor did they know how to eat them.
Now these people all understand that as long as they get a pot of water to steam it, and then dip it in minced ginger and vinegar, it will be the most delicious thing in the world. Of course, all this was said by Li Xiang. They used to cook it directly and eat it.
Although the seafood and liquor seemed a bit incompatible, everyone present ate their fill.
Although the food cooked by the chefs in the military camp was not that exquisite, the taste was fine, especially since the quantity was large. If you had a seafood banquet in Chang'an City, many people would feel like they had not eaten anything after they were full, but the 150 strings of cash had been spent.
But here you don't need to spend any money at all. There are all kinds of things, and before you finish eating the food on your table, they will be immediately replaced by the next table. In the eyes of the navy general, these people from Chang'an City have obviously never seen the world. They can eat such food in such a way. Is Chang'an City really the richest place in the world?
Woo woo woo…
The next morning, at dawn, the King of Wu had drunk too much the night before. When he heard the horn, he remembered that this was the necessary daily training for the navy warships. He had said yesterday that he would go out to sea with the ship today. As a result, because he drank too much, when the King of Wu came out of the tent, the navy warships had already gone out to sea.
Looking from the King of Wu's position, more than a dozen large ships were slowly sailing outward. Each ship was more than seventy meters long, and had two layers of gun platforms on the top and bottom, looking majestic.
The people in the navy camp nearby also started a day of training. Except for the warships going out to sea for training, other warships, even if they were in the port, would also spend half a day on training. As for the remaining half a day, of course, they would be used for self-production.
There are a lot of fertile fields around the port. After their half-day training is completed, these people will begin to patrol the fields. Of course, they will not manage the planting of these farmlands. These are all immigrants from the country.
These people sat on the fields like rich landlords, watching the Goguryeo people working for them. Of course, these Goguryeo people were not so honest, and riots would happen from time to time. This required our naval officers and soldiers to patrol, and when it was time to harvest, the domestic immigrants and naval officers and soldiers would each take half.
As for the working people of Goguryeo, each person was given three steamed buns every day, and there was plenty of cold water.
If you don't work hard, you may get two steamed buns a day, or sometimes you may only get one steamed bun a day. Of course, if you work hard, these landlords may give you an extra steamed bun. The people of Goguryeo had to work hard with steamed buns every day.
