Borrow the day to change the day

The general who escorted the convoy was handing over supplies to the Baigan army, while the guard Zhao Zhiqi went to see the imperial envoy and invited Zhong Jinwei to have dinner in the city.

It was just after noon, and Zhong Jinwei was actually fine in the barracks.He was interested in going to the city to see how the people's livelihood was, and when he saw the invitation from the guard, he agreed.

So, under the leadership of Qianhu Xie Dong, dozens of Jinyiwei, together with Fan Yan led by Gu Baichuan, the head of the Dongchang stall, and Li Laosi and other entourages protected Zhong Jinwei, and rode into the city in a mighty manner.

After Zhong Jinwei entered the city gate, he didn't see any people on the road, only soldiers Ding Minzhuang stood guard on both sides of the road.

He saw that the costumes of these soldiers Ding Minzhuang were much more decent than the peasant army he had seen before, but they were not as good as the soldiers Ding Minzhuang in the capital, let alone the appearance of the army in Zhong Jinwei's impression.

The houses on both sides are also built of loess, and there are basically no brick houses.

Zhong Jinwei couldn't see the situation of the people, and felt a little dissatisfied.But he knew that this should also be a kind of defense measure that the local government would take when senior officials in ancient times traveled.

So, he didn't make a sound, just slowed down the horse and let the horse go forward at a canter.

Zhao Zhiqi accompanied him carefully, not daring to be careless, for fear of making Zhong Jinwei unhappy again.

But sometimes, things often don't go as expected, the more you are afraid of something, the more things will happen.

Just when Zhong Jinwei turned the last street and was about to arrive at his destination, Huang Juren's other courtyard, a group of beggar-style people rushed out from a side alley and rushed to the street.

Seeing that they were in a hurry, the nearby guard soldiers surrounded them and drove the people away with their guns.

But these people ignored them completely, and shouted their grievances loudly while pushing and shoving these soldiers.

They had someone on the lookout and rushed over when they saw Zhong Jinwei approaching, so the harassment happened right in front of Zhong Jinwei.

Jin Yiwei hurried forward to protect Zhong Jinwei, staring at these common people.It's just that without the order of Marquis Zhongxing, they took no further measures.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Zhiqi turned pale with fright. He recognized these people, but he made a mistake in his busy schedule and forgot about them.For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Jinwei naturally couldn't ignore it, and ordered Xie Dong to bring them over.

So, Jin Yiwei went over to a few people, stopped them first, then asked the soldiers to search them, and released them after they were safe.

As soon as these people came in front of Zhong Jinwei, they knelt down and shouted: "Master Imperial Envoy, make the decision for us."

Zhong Jinwei thought to himself that there was an unjust prison and there was no way to appeal, so he came to block the way to file a complaint.In his mind, a similar picture of later generations in movies and TV shows immediately appeared.

He squinted at the guard Zhao Zhiqi, saw his pale face, and thought that it was so.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei said in a gentle tone: "Speak one by one, if you have any grievances, just tell me, I will make the decision for you."

The leader of an older commoner raised his hands, and the people behind him shut up when they saw him, and looked at Zhong Jinwei expectantly, hoping to achieve their goal with Zhong Jinwei.

"Imperial envoy, we want to sue this guard, Zhao Zhiqi, for defaulting on our salaries, causing us to starve and freeze, making us unable to survive." The old man pointed to Zhao Zhiqi who was beside Zhong Jinwei, and said angrily.

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback when he heard that, he heard it right, salary?Could it be that these people are still officials?

"You said you owed your salary?" Zhong Jinwei asked in surprise.

"Yes, we are all descendants of the Zhu family. The Taizu 300 years ago is our common ancestor with the emperor."

When the old man said this, Zhong Jinwei felt that the expression on his face was very strange, a little proud and a little helpless.

Zhong Jinwei turned his head to Zhao Zhiqi and asked, "Is what he said true?"

Zhao Zhiqi had slowed down at this time, and the imperial envoy had already been disturbed anyway. He nodded to Zhong Jinwei and said, "Yes. They are all descendants of the dragon under the command of the last general."

When Zhong Jinwei was in the later life, he had been in the forums and posted, and read a lot of time-travel novels.Therefore, I also have a little understanding of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

Those with low titles cannot engage in many occupations because their rights are restricted. Therefore, if there is a problem with their salary, their lives will be extremely unsatisfactory.

Zhong Jinwei didn't think it was true, and let himself meet him.

He looked at these people kneeling in front of him, they were really no different from beggars.I couldn't help thinking, if Zhu Yuanzhang had a spirit in the sky, knowing that his descendants lived like this in the Ming Dynasty that he established by himself, how would he feel.

"Imperial envoy, please make the decision for us. We don't want all the salary, just a little. The children in the family can't stand hunger!" Seeing that Zhong Jinwei seemed to be in a daze, the old man cried loudly.

Seeing this situation, the others were also so sad that they burst into tears.

After Zhong Jinwei was crying like this, he came to his senses and didn't care about Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings.Just treat them as ordinary people, and you have to solve their difficulties.

So, he turned around and asked Zhao Zhiqi, "Why don't you give them a salary?"

"Returning to the imperial envoys, the last generals will not give them. In fact, the superiors have not allocated their salaries, and the last generals can't do anything!" Zhao Zhiqi explained to Zhong Jinwei.

"Anyway, they are all sons and grandsons of the dragon, and you can't let them starve to death. You can help them a little bit." Based on his understanding in later generations, Zhong Jinwei felt that Zhao Zhiqi was not lying, so he said in a negotiating tone.

"Yes." Zhao Zhiqi is also a man of discernment. He didn't dare to contradict Zhong Jinwei, so he agreed to Zhong Jinwei, and then he said to the dragon son and grandson who was kneeling there: "Come to the garrison mansion early tomorrow morning, the imperial envoy still has important matters. , is about to disperse."

These dragon descendants didn't have much hope at first, they just thought that in this remote place, there was such a rare opportunity, an imperial envoy came, maybe he would help solve it for the emperor's sake.Come to block the way and cry for injustice.

Unexpectedly, the wish came true, and they were overjoyed immediately, and they kowtowed to express their thanks and then dispersed.

They didn't dare to ask for much, otherwise they would offend the guards severely, and when the imperial envoy left, they would accept what they had.

After such a small episode on the road, there were no more accidents, and when they arrived at their destination, Huang Ju was sent to the hospital.

This other courtyard imitates the style of the Beijing Normal University Siheyuan. Its architectural pattern is "Bagua Fuluan".

Zhong Jinwei has been exercising for so long, and he is already a bit of a city, and he is not angry because of these differences.

After being seated, while serving the food, there is a song and dance performance.If you look at the situation in this courtyard, it is really peaceful and peaceful, and who knows that there are victims outside who even ate the bark.

Zhong Jinwei originally intended to go into the castle to see the people's sentiments, but he couldn't see it now. After thinking about it, he came up with an idea.

He just kept quiet and listened to what they said, and he also had a delicious meal, which had already been served, so it couldn't be wasted.

A person, as long as he drinks too much, he talks too much.Under Zhong Jinwei's signal, Xie Dong from Jinyiwei Qianhu and Gu Baichuan, the head of the Dongchang stall, toasted them in turn. The gentry and officials present did not dare not to drink the wine from the factory guard. After drinking too much, they started talking about everything.

Zhong Jinwei just listened silently and heard a lot of news.For example, the guard Zhao Zhiqi and the general of Yulin Town are brother-in-law, Huang Juren and the Hanshu Office of the Yansui Governor's Mansion are in the same year, etc.

In addition, Zhong Jinwei automatically filtered out the topics of showing off, such as property and women.

He felt that most of the officials here were rotten, and there were still various relationships between them.If in the future it is just a remote command and let official A restrict official B, I am afraid it will not be so easy to achieve the desired effect.

While eating and thinking, Zhong Jinwei suddenly had an idea, that is, how to deal with the peasant army leaders.

So, he didn't want to stay in this place anymore, patted his ass and left, and went back to the barracks outside the city.
