Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 23 Rewards
In the next two days, Zhu Yixi would come to the Golden Immortal Temple to offer incense every time after handling the affairs of the medical office, and she was extremely devout.

At dusk, when you leave, there will always be a wild flower on the steps.

When Miaoxian saw it, she was quite calm and didn't chase people away. She just put the wild flowers into the vase and raised them.

The host of Miaofa saw something was wrong, she pulled Miaoxian and said, "You know this young man, did you come here for you?"

"I don't know!" Miaoxian said softly, "I just saved me once before."

"I also found out."

Miaofa said softly: "He comes from the clan, although he was down and out before, but now he is appreciated by the governor, so he has some future."

"However, in today's troubled times, there are many conquests in the army. If you want to, you may suffer endlessly."

Miaoxian blinked her pretty eyes when she heard the words, and said, "What did Master say? Do you want to marry a man you've known for a few days?"

"That's good!"

Miaofa breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's better to marry an ordinary family."

Miaoxian was silent and did not respond.

On this day, Zhu Yixi was walking on the street, watching the market gradually gaining vitality, he couldn't help but said: "Now, the market has truly stabilized."

The continuously rising food prices will naturally affect the entire city of Xi'an, and immediately affect Governor Sun's great cause of production and training.

Therefore, after Zhu Yixi's suggestion and some conspiracy, on April [-]th, one hundred thousand shi of old grain was poured out, and the price of grain in Xi'an city was cut in half, falling to the current three taels per shi.

Although it is still high, it has stabilized the hearts of the people a lot.

As a result, Governor Sun's popularity has dropped by a few points.

However, for a strong person like him, everything is for the purpose of countering the rebellion, so he doesn't care about it.

Therefore, when Zhu Yixi conspired, he was not prepared to claim credit and make a name for himself.

He still has the best reputation as a genius doctor in the military.

Moreover, for Zhu Yixi now, the reduction in food prices means that the money in his hands is becoming more and more valuable.

Not bad either.

Inflation is bad.

"Governor Sun is also courageous and meticulous."

Zhu Mou was at the side, full of admiration: "Governor Sun's [-] stone grain came out, and the grain price dropped sharply, but in the final analysis, the grain price is still higher than three taels. Now, I don't know how tens of thousands of taels have been earned!"

"It's only a few hundred thousand taels."

Zhu Yixi waved his hand and smiled lightly.

The price of grain sold by Sun Chuanting started from [-] cents to [-] cents for a total of three days.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly bought it back in the market at a price of three taels per stone.

In the end, the food was not only intact, but also earned 120,000 taels.

This operation directly shocked Sun Chuanting.

Sell ​​high and buy low, and earn hundreds of thousands of taels in blood.

So far, Sun Chuanting has once again deepened his trust in him and his status has risen.

In order to get rid of the suspicion, Zhu Yixi went to watch every day, pretending to be obsessed with beauty.

As we all know, he never pretends to be beautiful when it comes to beauties.

Sure enough, almost no one in Xi'an City doubted him, and they all dumped their grievances on Sun Chuanting.

"Oh my God!" Zhu Mou covered his mouth, his eyes were full of shock. In a few days, more than a hundred thousand taels, it's not so fast to pick up money!

"Let's go, go to the Governor's Mansion to have a look, our Governor Sun has made a lot of money."

After offering a trick, Zhu Yixi hid his name deeply, but there is still a reward or something.

Today is the time to harvest.

When I came to the Governor's Mansion, everything went smoothly.

"Jingming, you're here!"

Seeing Zhu Yixi who made a lot of money for himself, Sun Chuanting showed a rare smile.

"Ma'am, go prepare some good dishes, and have a few drinks today!"

"I've heard your name for a long time, but I saw you today, you are indeed a handsome talent, you two can talk slowly."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, and then went to the back to prepare.

Zhu Yixi was so flattered that she brought her wife to see her. It seemed that she was completely trusted.

After taking his seat, Sun Chuanting said with a smile on his face, "Now that Xi'an is under great rule, Jingming, you have made outstanding achievements. It's a pity that I can't report your achievements."

"The governor is absurd!"

Zhu Yixi said modestly: "It's just a matter of size. Besides, for a clan like mine, it's better to keep a low profile. It's not good to be too ostentatious."

"Too!"

Sun Chuanting nodded, quite satisfied with the young and quick-witted subordinate in front of him.

Modesty, resourcefulness, and ability to handle affairs, the key is that he was born in the clan, so he was naturally loyal to the imperial court.

One admired, the other respected, drank wine with each other, and chatted.

As for men, the basic common topic is politics.

"What do you think of burglars?"

Sun Chuanting thought for a while, then asked, with anticipation in his eyes.

"Du Xian, in my opinion, the thieves this year are not the same as last year."

Zhu Yixi thought about the news that came over the past few months, and said without hesitation,
"Oh? What do you say?"

Sun Chuanting became interested.

"Last year, thieves broke into Luoyang and flooded Kaifeng. They were invincible. It was even rumored that they cooked Fu Wang and called it Fulu meat. All this shows that he is just a bandit. Although he is powerful, he is a bandit in the end."

"However, in the first month of this year, he occupied Xiangyang, proclaimed himself Grand Marshal, established a dynasty, set up hundreds of officials, and even treated the clan favorably, pretending to be a general. This is a blatant traitor!"

"Its intention has changed from begging for food to subverting the Ming Dynasty."

"That's right—" Sun Chuanting patted the table with a serious expression: "The intruder is already too big to shake off. That's why the imperial court sent a supervising army to urge someone to leave Tongguan."

"It's good that you have this knowledge."

Governor Sun's eyes were full of appreciation.

"Although I'm a bit stingy, there are clear rewards and punishments. Money is still an official position. What do you want to pursue?"

These words were so grand that Zhu Yixi was shocked, and the meat scene finally came.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Yixi said slowly:
"With the status of the clan below, I can't always lead soldiers, but I can't see the country's decline. Naturally, I want to make a little effort for the court and to suppress the bandits."

"Nowadays, in the north of the Yangtze River, trespassers are the most important, and in the army, the Qin army is the most important. I want to do my best in the Qin army."

"Huh?" Sun Chuanting couldn't help frowning when he heard the words of turning left and right. He has been in the army for many years, but he is a bit straightforward.

"Jingming, don't beat around the bush in front of me, it's fine to just speak up."

"Subordinates, I deeply believe that the only way to deal with intruders and build slaves outside the pass is firearms."

Only then did Zhu Yixi bluntly say: "The next official is willing to take charge of the craftsman's battalion to enhance the advantage of our army's firearms."

"Carpenter's camp?" Sun Chuanting was startled, looked suspiciously, and saw a serious face, and then believed it was the truth, and couldn't help feeling relieved: "Hahaha, Jingming, I read you right, you are really Daming Thousand-mile horse."

"If there are more people like you in the government and the public, why worry about intruders and burglars?"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, although firearms are important, craftsmen are inferior to others after all. Even the chief medical officer is more than a step above the chief craftsman.

And Zhu Yixi's ability to bow down and enter the craftsman's camp can be said to be a sacrifice for the country, which is worthy of praise.

"I'm afraid you have been wronged too much!" Sun Chuanting said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, for the sake of Daming, why talk about grievances?"

Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice.
