At this time, the fruit of the mountain was probably not edible. It was too sour. The ferns were fresh and tender, but they were usually boiled in water. With the green and oily pot of soup, the taste would make one sick of it no matter how good it was.

Looking at the game she brought back, Su Zhi pondered for a moment before getting the wild boar and goat killed.

The army was a good place to practice martial arts, and they were all nimble when it came to rough work.

After the wild boar and goat were cleaned, Su Zhi immediately ordered his men to leave all their internal organs behind, saying that it was useful.

"young lady Su, what's the use of keeping these underwater for now? If they're hot, then they're rotten, that smell is not good."

Su Zhi was so busy that she did not explain any further. She just asked them to keep it, not to throw it away.

Lunch was roast mutton, so using the fire to cook it in the tent was a taboo, but during the time of truce, Xiao Qian did not say much, and just let the young woman do as she pleased.

There were more than ten sheep roasted on the fire rack, Su Zhi went to check the situation one by one.

The rest of the wild boar was sliced into thin pieces by the finely crafted lackey. He cooked a few large pots of meat and sprinkled them with the fragrance of garlic.

She made the hickory sauce again and used it for the roast mutton sauce.

When the lunch was almost done, Su Zhi was so tired that her eyes were blurry.

In the kitchen, the woman heard from the general who was helping the assistant general that one third of the men in the barracks had been dismissed and only part of the military pay had been allocated. The general read the soldiers' thoughts about their families and even paid for the return of those who did not receive military pay.

The only son of the family left first, the unmarried ones left first. There were those who left first with their wives and children, leaving only a few people behind.

Su Zhi really liked Xiao Qian's way of handling things.

As a general, it was not only necessary for him to kill the enemy, but it was also important for him to distribute the labor while he was busy.

Xiao Qian was a rare husband and a good general.

Today's lunch was an unprecedented sumptuous one. There was a plate of stewed meat with stir-fried ferns, roast lamb and cold mixed vegetables. The soldiers were eating very well.

Xiao Qian sat in his tent, looking at the beautiful dishes displayed on the table, his cold face had traces of being frozen.

He walked out of the tent and looked at the back and forth between the two of them with a look of approval.

After tasting the food, there was actually a taste of home.

In the afternoon, he had time to rest.

After Xiao Qian ordered the soldiers on the battlefield, he continued to worry about the pay.

There weren't many rations left, so dispersing the soldiers as soon as possible was the best choice. However, when he checked his accounts, the books were in complete disarray. It was truly a headache.

With some free time, Su Zhi took her two children and played football. Seeing Xiao Qian's camp had many people coming and going, Su Zhi felt it was strange.

She asked the people around her what had happened.

It was no wonder that even after being small for half a day, not a single trace of Xiao Qian could be seen.

Although Su Zhi didn't have any ulterior motives towards staying in the army camp for the time being, it was still possible for him to think of ways to help others solve their problems. She then called for Ah Jin to take care of Little Pancake and brought the tea in.

Xiao Qian was having a headache and did not notice that she was the one who came in to bring water.

He only paid attention to the thick accounting books piled in front of him. They were densely filled with information about all military expenditures. However, his words were vague and unclear.

"General, are you worrying about the soldiers?"

A clear voice sounded out beside his ears. Xiao Qian subconsciously raised his head, and upon seeing Su Zhi, he nodded slightly and sighed.

"The military pay of the court has not been fully allocated and half of the sequestration has not been completed. The harvest will arrive very soon. If the soldiers can't get the silver, how can they be willing to go home peacefully? They will follow me and risk their lives without even getting a few taels of silver, how can I face them? "

Su Zhi understood, and said: "General will not dismiss all the soldiers back home, there must be someone guarding the border."

"That's right, but the problem is that we are starting to run out of rations. We can't let our brothers stay and starve."

The entire imperial court was being controlled by the Empress Zhao. Her Majesty was wholeheartedly focused on the rumors of the elixir of life, ignoring the imperial court rules and trusting only the scholars.

This kind of Great Wei was in a precarious situation, and the majority of the silver was stuck somewhere, unable to be allocated.

"General, don't be upset. The problem is solved, so it's useless to be anxious."

Xiao Qian smiled lightly, raising his eyebrows he looked at her, "What, you have a way?"
