    tasty!  tasty!

    When Zhao Hongyu took Li Xiang and the others to the navy station, it happened to be lunch time.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu asked Li Xiang and the others to have a taste and see what kind of food the imperial navy ate.  At the same time, he also showed them the food standards in the Imperial Palace to open their eyes.

    Li Xiang and the others were stunned by the stewed noodles with pickled cabbage and pork, the stewed beans, beef and potatoes, and enough rice.

    "Compared with the military food in the Ming Dynasty, the food eaten by the soldiers in the empire was simply too luxurious.

    Even the food standards in the imperial palace were unmatched by many small landowners in the Ming Dynasty.

    God, even if the Song Empire is so rich, it can't build it like this.  How much money do you get every day? Why don't you have to spend money like running water?

    Although they thought so, Li Xiang and the others also joined the team and lined up to receive food according to the rules.

    After everyone received the food, they tasted itwell, it was indeed delicious!

    Food like this does not exist in this era.

    Especially the chefs in the Imperial Palace use all kinds of seasonings that are very expensive in this era, and there are even seasonings that are not available in this era.

    Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Xiang and the others find it delicious.

    The group of people ate so much that they were so satisfied. Although they had already eaten breakfast, they still made some room in their stomachs after encountering such delicacies.

    "Your Highness, I have to say that the food in the army is really good. The soldiers in the army in the Ming Dynasty can't eat such food."

    Finished his military lunch.  Li Xiang put down the rice bowl in her hand, then looked at Zhao Hongyu with a serious face and said with some regret.

    "Oh, the food standard in our army is actually not very good. They eat this monotonous food every day. If possible, I would like to give them something different to eat. It's just because this is the army, it's different from the outside world.  It¡¯s a restaurant or something, so I don¡¯t want to make the cooks too troublesome, so I didn¡¯t implement this.¡±

    I¡¯m going to do it!

    Isn¡¯t this kind of food good?

    Li Xiang listened to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words.  Completely messy and speechless in the wind.

    Not to mention the appetizing sauerkraut, at least the genuine pork belly slices inside made Li Xiang stare.  In the Ming Dynasty, how many people ate pork belly every day?

    Basically, 90% of the people in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to eat pork belly every day.

    Even though some scholars have a little money, they don¡¯t have to eat every day.

    Not to mention the beef stew with potatoes and beans.  This is simply luxury to the extreme.

    ¡°Look at what the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty¡¯s army ate. They had two meals a day, and having two brats for each meal was considered very, very good.

    Many times, those superior officials were greedy for money and gave the soldiers only one meal a day. Anyway, they would not die but they would not be full.

    Because of their food expenses.  They were all deducted by Shangguan.

    So, one meal of steamed buns a day is already an eye-opener.

    ¡°There seems to be that kind of dark-hearted guy who doesn¡¯t even give food to the soldiers.  Let them find food on their own.

    If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty knew that the soldiers of the Song Empire were fed to this standard, they would probably go crazy.

    "Your Highness, our Song Dynasty is really rich. I didn't expect that the food in the army is so good. I really didn't expect it." Li Xiang licked her dry mouth and said this last sentence.

    Zhao Hongyu smiled and said: "It is true that the empire is rich. After all, the Song Dynasty controls all trade from the Americas to Europe. Even the cannibals come to trade with us. Ships of all kinds of goods are sold  When you go out, it¡¯s just money. With so much money, why don¡¯t you keep it and use it? So use part of it in the army. There¡¯s nothing special about it.¡±

    Europeans?

    This is the first time Li Xiang has heard of it.

    "Oh, they are what you call Nanbarians or Folangji people." Zhao Hongyu explained when he saw that Li Xiang was a little confused.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The Song Empire was very rich!

    It can even be said that he is so rich that he is dripping with money!

    This is what Li Xiang felt from Zhao Hongyu.

    Since the empire has money and is willing to use it in the military, what else can Li Xiang say?

    ¡°Besides, look at these people who eat well and are strong.?Great lad.  Li Xiang had no reason to say that this was not good, after all, these people would be his subordinates from now on.

    If there are such elite young men in the navy in the future, plus those extremely elite warships, Zheng Zhilong will have nothing to fear.

    Li Xiang thought about it for a while and then thought about it.

    "Let's go and walk around the military with me." After the group had lunch in the army, Zhao Hongyu began to take them around the naval station.

    In fact, this is mainly to let Li Xiang and the others understand some things in the Imperial Navy.  It saves them that their eyes will be darkened and they will not know anything.

    "The property and military affairs in the empire are separated, and government affairs are also handled by people. The main purpose of this is to prevent the military officials from being distracted and to focus all their thoughts on the military."

    Along the way, Zhao Hongyu took Li Xiang and the others around several departments, and at the same time patiently explained to them.

    Yes, in the imperial army, whether it is the navy or the army, it basically has such a framework.

    Those in charge of military affairs are specifically responsible for military affairs, and those in charge of military property are responsible for property. At the same time, civilian personnel are also assigned to military chiefs to handle some military documents and official documents.

    Rather than thinking like the Ming Dynasty, everything was managed by the military commander.

    Doing this will make the highest officer in the army feel a lot more relaxed.

    Of course, the purpose of doing this is also to limit the powers of military commanders so that they will not have the possibility of rebellion.

    Zhao Hongyu also absorbed another modern military advantage of time and space, which is to delegate a lot of power to the hands of low-level officers.  And there are matching officers and deputy officers, as well as fifth-level soldiers and sergeants.

    Layer by layer, as the top military commander, if they are ambitious, they actually cannot control the entire team.  The most they can control are the close confidants around them.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s structure can avoid some troubles to a large extent.

    Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes looked far away.  Because the empire is not a country composed of a single race, but there are many races in the Americas.

    After the people of these races merged into the Song Empire, many young people have begun to be absorbed into the military or work in grassroots government departments.

    Over time.  God knows whether any of these people will reach high positions in the future.

    In order to prevent some problems that may arise, Zhao Hongyu must make some arrangements in advance.

    At the same time, as the territory of the empire expands, some people will definitely come to join us.  For example, the British handyman on the Mayflower in Li Xianghe¡¯s earliest days, isn¡¯t that an example?

    Li Xiang is not stupid either!

    He followed Zhao Hongyu around and learned about those departments.  After a moment of thought, I realized that such a military structure would avoid problems.

    It¡¯s good that the chief officers are relaxed, but their rights have also been weakened a lot.

    It¡¯s just that you can¡¯t see it on the surface.

    But if you want to be like the Ming Dynasty.  It is impossible for a military commander to control everyone under his command.

    "As expected of the Song Dynasty, he really has a way of restricting the generals.

    In Li Xiang¡¯s mind.  Suddenly I thought of the story in history about the Zhao and Song dynasties who released their military power over a glass of wine.

    Yes, the most powerful thing about the Zhao and Song dynasties was the restriction of warriors and military power.

    It seems that even after they went to America, this tradition has been preserved.

    Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know that Li Xiang had thought wrongly and actually thought of this incident in history.

    However, even if he knew it, he wouldn't be able to explain anything.

    And what about Li Xiang.  He just smiled helplessly in his heart. In fact, he no longer had any ambitions.

    At the same time, he now understands one thing, that is, if he wants to control the army on Zhao Song's side, then he will accept their tactics.

    If you don¡¯t accept itany fool knows what the result will be.

    Now that he is desperate, people who can take him in already think highly of him.

    It¡¯s impossible for him to be unaware of current affairs.

    ¡°And the crown prince showed that he valued him very much from inside to outside, and even entrusted him with important responsibilities.  He has to be worthy of others no matter what, so he can't have any more ideas.

    "Well, not bad, such an armyThe medium structure can indeed make the officials feel a lot more relaxed.  I think I won't have to worry about many things in the future. I can just focus on training the navy to encircle the sea.  "

    Li Xiang followed Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words.

    In fact, Li Xiang¡¯s words also told Zhao Hongyu from the side that he was very satisfied with the structure of the military.  At the same time, he was not dissatisfied, and even more so, he told Zhao Hongyu that he had no ambitions.

    After listening to Li Xiang¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu also felt the implication, so the smile on his face became even brighter.

    "The benefits of being a chief officer are pretty good, but if I don't tell you now, you will know later." Zhao Hongyu pretended to be mysterious and made a little joke with Li Xiang.

    In fact, Li Xiang doesn¡¯t know this.

    Even the soldiers at the bottom of the imperial army can enjoy such good things and receive such high salaries.  As an officer in the military, I would definitely have better benefits.

    "Oh, that's actually the case. My subordinates have been waiting for this surprise."

    "However, you still have to cooperate. Li Xiang is not a fool.

    But Li Xiang¡¯s nephew and those Li Xiang¡¯s guards who came with him were so stupid that they didn¡¯t hear anything. They just felt that His Highness and his uncle (boss) had a good conversation, and they became happy
