Chapter 583 No Need to Waste Your Efforts
Li Zefei and Jing Han were not embarrassed when Ning Xi pointed them out.
Jing Han remained silent. He and Li Zefei had different reasons for coming.
Li Zefei's tone was quite good, "Little Prince, we really came here because we want to discuss something with you."
"Recently, the Ning family's army has been eating big white steamed buns and meat every day, and the soldiers of our two armies couldn't help but get into trouble. But the food and grass we prepared did not have these things, so we don't know how to solve it."
He did not express his inner thoughts at the beginning, and also expressed his fear of Ning Xi's domineering temperament.
Ning Xi sneered: "If your two armies are quarreling, what does it matter to me? If you want to find a solution, just think of it yourself. I don't have the energy to help you solve it."
Jing Han smiled bitterly, Ning Xi was just as he expected.
Li Zefei's chest felt tight, but Ning Xi was still so arrogant and difficult to deal with, not giving anyone any face.
"We thought about it and came up with only one solution. We can only ask the young prince to lower the food standards of the Ning family army, so that the soldiers of the two armies will no longer have trouble." He did not get angry, and his tone was laced. A low profile.
As long as the food of the three armies is not much different, and the minds of the soldiers of the two armies are balanced, there will naturally be no quarrels.
But Ning Xi seemed to have heard some joke, "Why! Why do you and your army do this because I feed and clothe my soldiers? Why should I listen to you?"
"Besides, I have never been harsh on my soldiers. I don't have those dry and dry grain cakes in my rations."
All the straw and wheat harvested in the Xiacheng fiefdom this season were used as food for the Ning family army this time, and there was still a lot leftover. Ning Xi never thought about letting the soldiers continue to eat bran-pharynx vegetables for the war.
She had stepped from an ordinary officer to the position of young marshal, so she could naturally understand the hardships of the soldiers.
"I don't know how many soldiers will be buried in the wilderness in this war. Why not let them eat and clothe themselves?" Ning Xi said earnestly.
For the Ning family army, Ning Xi's goal is to ideally have 50,000 people come and 50,000 people return. Even if casualties cannot be avoided, they must strive to reduce casualties to the minimum.
The situation of the other two main armies must be different, and the death rate of soldiers will not be too low, so Ning Xi mentioned it like this.
Li Zefei found that he couldn't understand Ning Xi more and more. He really didn't expect that this dandy young prince would have such a kind heart.
"We also want the soldiers to eat well and be clothed and warm, but the military expenditure is insufficient, and the food and grass we brought have been prepared long ago, so there is nothing we can do!"
Ning Xi didn't believe his lies. The Li family's power was huge. Through so many years of accumulated wealth and financial resources, it was definitely much more than what they now have in Xia City.
Although there are several times more soldiers than the Ning family army, it is not difficult for them to spend such a sum of money. In the final analysis, they are just reluctant to bear it.
"That's the matter of your Prince Li's Mansion. You like to treat the soldiers harshly, but I like to treat the soldiers preferentially. There is no room for negotiation on the food issue. You don't have to waste your time." Ning Xi's attitude was very strong.
Li Zefei took a deep breath to suppress his anger, "Ning Xi, don't forget that our three armies have to deal with foreign enemies together. What you do is disturbing the morale of the army."
"Pah!" Ning Xi got angry and slapped the table in front of her, "Disturbing your sister's military morale."
"I have the final say on how my army will eat. If you keep nagging, believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Ning Xi happened to be full and needed some exercise.
