First Minister of Ming Dynasty

In this way, after more than a month of busy work, the territory controlled by Wang Heihu has grown from one village to more than a dozen villages, and there are three to four hundred soldiers under his command.

This is no longer a village, but a town.

Wang Heihu felt that he should ask for instructions from above, and at the same time, he should make it clear to the people and tell them what the court meant.

Therefore, Wang Heihu ordered that everyone gather together to announce something important.

After receiving the order, all the people from all walks of life were full of enthusiasm. Among them, many young people even grabbed the rooster, and I don't know where they got the yellow paper.

Someone also brought an incense burner from the ruined temple... These are all very important things. Next, let's swear to the Tianmeng, drink chicken blood wine, and then pull up a team, enter Dadu, and kill the emperor Laozi.

Tiger Lord!

We all support your enthronement and proclaiming emperor, done!

People rushed over excitedly, shared their ideas, and only waited for Lord Tiger to nod, so we pulled up a team and reversed his mother!

Wang Heihu, who had always been calm and confident, was afraid for the first time, and his legs went limp.

"You bastards, you want to kill me! I'm not a green forest hero, I'm an official of Ming Dynasty! Officer, do you understand? I came here at the emperor's order!"

Wang Heihu can only try his best to explain to everyone...to let everyone understand that there is a new imperial court called Daming!He was sent by Daming to help the big guys.

The common people expressed their emotional stability, so don't lie.

After all, there are imperial courts, and there are also those who help the people, but it is nonsense to say that the imperial court helps the people.

Wang Heihu explained for a long time, but the people were still skeptical.

Only then did he fully understand that Zhang Xiang's idea, which sounded so perfect, could not be carried out.

As far as the folk situation is concerned, tell them, borrow some money, buy farm tools and seeds, and after the autumn harvest, return the principal, and the court will help you pay back the interest, and you will be able to live a good life... These people will only think that your brain is broken up.

If you still want to implement national policies, go ahead and dream!

Wang Heihu didn't read much. If he knew that in the Northern Song Dynasty, someone was trying to implement the Young Crop Law when the grassroots were in a mess, he would definitely throw himself into the ground.

If we have a little brains, we know that this can't be done.

But the wonderful thing about this is that it has actually been implemented for a while.

This thing is outrageous!

I can only lament the excellent matching mechanism of the Northern Song Dynasty.

After Wang Heihu collected his thoughts, he could only ask the nearby yamen for support, preferably veterans who came down together, it would be best to have a few more, he couldn't manage so many people.

Then Wang Heihu divided his subordinates into groups, while continuing to fight against bandits and keep the fruits of victory, while registering and making an atlas of population and land to grasp the situation.

Wang Heihu, who was quick to write, had to teach a bunch of guys who couldn't read to write.

He still has time to hold a class, probably at the threshing ground, under the willow tree, lighting a bonfire, chatting with the big guys, and explaining various principles.

Anyway, I heard it in the army, Wang Heihu tried his best to talk, and the common people listened hard, everything went smoothly.

There is only one problem that has always puzzled Wang Heihu, that is, there are always people who look at him and show their loyalty to him. Everyone is willing to do it with you, so don't talk about Da Ming. Let's rebel and enter Dadu. You are the emperor, we are The hero of the founding of the country, sitting on the dragon chair by himself, the Sangong Sixth Courtyard, how majestic!

The common people were obsessed with persuading them to come in, until more than ten days later, the first batch of veterans came, there were seven of them, and they helped to establish the rules and make all the work run smoothly.

Only then did the common people gradually accept that there really was a Ming Dynasty...Wang Heihu, who seemed omnipotent and looked like a god, was really just an ordinary member of the Ming Dynasty. There are countless people as powerful as him.

And this Great Ming Dynasty seemed to be really kind to them, sending farm tools, cattle, and seeds... That's right, Wang Heihu didn't dare to talk about borrowing money and interest with the big guys.

Because he felt that explaining to the people at this time would only scare them.

But it can't let the imperial court suffer, it didn't come from suppressing the bandits all these years, but got some money, silks, and cloth from the den of thieves, Wang Heihu didn't care how much money it was, just put it together, and handed it in at a discounted price.

Anyway, he only wanted ten cows, but the imperial court sent twenty and gave them Quyuanli.

It's hard to say who is at a disadvantage and who is at an advantage... Anyway, land leveling, land reclamation and cultivation have been implemented, and the enthusiasm of the people is very high.

It was also difficult for Wang Heihu to express his complicated feelings clearly... He originally wanted to disarm and return to the field, but in the end he had to lead people to fight again. He thought that there was no need to kill people, but in the end, he killed more people these days than when he was in the army.

He wanted to treat the people kindly, but in the end he took them to death and beat them with a whip.

The imperial court issued loans in the hope that it would be the most start-up capital to restore people's livelihood.

But it can be said that his first bucket of gold was snatched.

what is this?

Black eat black?

But he is also called Wang Heihu... He couldn't figure out whether what he did was right or wrong, perhaps few people could tell clearly.

He could only write a letter to Mr. Zhang by candlelight, one stroke at a time, hoping that the omnipotent Mr. Zhang could give himself, a bad student, an answer.

And when Wang Heihu was writing the letter, a woman sneaked into Wang Heihu's tent and climbed onto his bed...

Wang Heihu roared angrily, telling her to get out of here, why should she be ashamed?

face?

Can you eat?

You are the strongest, and now there is no woman around, I don't care if you have a wife, I just want to accompany you, serve you, and help you relieve boredom, when you don't want to, just drive me away.

Don't worry, I won't embarrass you.

Don't worry!

Wang Heihu knew exactly what this woman was thinking.Don't talk about shame to them, they just want to survive, and at the moment, attaching to a strong person is the best way.

But the problem is that I don't want to!

I also thought that Ming Media was getting married, and I thought about Chuichuidada, just like Zhang Xiang.

Moreover, I still have a little idea... I am in charge of more than 2000 people now, if there are more, it is not impossible to be a county magistrate.

The worst thing is to guard thousands of households!

After all, thousands of households who lead soldiers need to take math tests, but guards don't.

I can't be ruined on you!

There was no other way, Wang Heihu could only persuade the woman to go out with good words, and selected a few guards to let them guard the tent, so that similar things would never happen again.

After taking care of the trivial matters, Wang Heihu finally sent the letter to Zhang Ximeng... Suddenly, he seemed to think of a situation.

Ten years ago, when His Majesty raised his troops, did he also encounter similar problems?

At that time, did you also ask Mr. Zhang to help solve it?

Heroes often exist, but Mr. Zhang does not often!

Chapter 5 Prince Treatment

Zhang Ximeng yawned, flipping through the letter from Wang Heihu, the more he read it, the more he frowned, there were too many typos.

At this level, how dare you boast that you can read a lot?

You are in front of me, I have to take a bamboo board and beat you hard!

Fortunately, Chinese characters are a language with a high error tolerance rate. Occasional errors will not affect the

Zhang Ximeng looked at it and basically understood what Wang Heihu meant.

In fact, my own estimation of the folks is still too optimistic.

This is not an issue that the common people are unwilling to accept, but that there is no way to promote it... It cannot be organized and implemented, and even the most basic common sense is not known to quite a few common people.

"Sir, are you worried again?" Jiang Nan handed Zhang Ximeng a cup of wolfberries.

Zhang Ximeng was very helpless, "At this point, I'm afraid we still need to find a way to gather the people together."

Jiang Nan said: "Isn't it okay to even the fields?"

Zhang Ximeng shook his head slightly, "It's not enough, after all, it wasn't ten years ago. Years of wars, what a crime!"

"Then, what else can be done? Establishing a school? Water control? Or disaster relief?"

"None." Zhang Ximeng said: "It seems that what the common people want is safety, and the lord must put in more power."

Zhang Ximeng didn't bother to say anything, and left the study directly to find Lao Zhu.

Also holding this letter, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of a person, yes, it was himself!

When he was just learning to read, he held the brush as if he was holding a knife, and the characters he wrote were like chopping with a knife. There were countless typos, and he was almost no different from Wang Heihu.

Looking carefully, Wang Heihu also gathered a group of people with a vague goal, but he couldn't make up his mind and needed someone to point him out.

Wang Heihu found Zhang Ximeng!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked meaningfully at the slightly haggard Mr. Zhang, "Sir, this Wang Heihu is capable. Even ten years ago, he would have been a hero?"

Zhang Ximeng didn't take it seriously, "If he is really a hero, he should know how to assign subordinates and find talents. Don't you want the court to help him when you ask for help! This kind of person is far away from the hero, and it can only be said that he is a little bit It's just ability!"

Hearing that Zhang Ximeng looked down on Wang Heihu, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little relieved, but he still wanted to ask the question.

"With Mr.'s talent, if I assisted this person at the beginning, I'm afraid I can achieve great things, right?"

Zhang Ximeng wanted to laugh, what happened to Zhu Yuanzhang?

"Your minister can clearly assist Zuo Mingjun, the Holy Lord, why waste your own life? The ruler chooses the minister, the minister chooses the ruler... Huan Fan is known as a think tank, Cao Shuang refused to use his strategy, and ended up being executed by Sima Yi. This Wang Heihu has been in the lord's army for so many years, but he is just a deputy Qianhu, and he can't even be promoted to the leader of the Qianhu, there are not a few people like this in the army."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered slightly, Mr. Zhang was telling the truth, but he was always a little worried.

"We have come from a beggar monk to today, sitting on most of China. If some people follow our actions, will there be a second Zhu Yuanzhang in the world?"

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "My lord, if you are worried about this, I suggest that my lord ask the Imperial Academy to start drafting, write down my lord's experience over the years, and then publish it to the world and let everyone know about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned suddenly, "Sir, you, what do you mean? Shouldn't it be kept secret?"

Zhang Ximeng looked up to the sky and sighed, "My lord, the purpose of creating the world is to tell everyone how difficult it is for the lord to come to this day. Make them give up! Could there be a second lord in the world? Wang Heihu is very good, but We only gathered 2000 people, and we can’t go any further, the road is difficult, the Lord still doesn’t know?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little stunned, but he couldn't help laughing, "Talking with Mr. is really inspired, like seeing the sun through the clouds!" After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "These days, Yang Xian found someone who is said to be from Zhongnanshan. A hermit, if you know the dragon veins in the world, as long as you let him cut off the dragon veins in the world, the Great Ming will not fall for ten thousand years. Not only me, but also Biaoer, and future generations can enjoy wealth and honor..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed at himself, "The theory of the relationship between heaven and man has long been refuted by my husband. The theory of dragon veins is also nonsense. Yang Xian sent us demons for nothing more than to confuse us and have bad intentions. We, we You shouldn't believe such nonsense."

Zhang Ximeng was slightly taken aback, but he didn't immediately refute anything... Feng Shui Longmai, I'm afraid there will be a considerable market in later generations, right?

The more you know, the more you feel ignorant.

Since ignorance is so great, it is not surprising to believe in some metaphysics.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't talk about it, and only cultivates immortals and doesn't go to court, Zhang Ximeng thinks it's not a big problem.

After solving the problem of metaphysics and facing the reality, Zhu Yuanzhang also quickly accepted Zhang Ximeng's suggestion.

"Suppress the bandits! Suppress the bandits thoroughly! Restoring local order is the first gift we give to the people. What do you think you should do to quickly eliminate the banditry?"

Zhang Ximeng said: "Talents drawn from the army like Wang Heihu, let them loose their hands and feet in the local area, and ordinary thieves will disappear. But there are always some powerful bandits who have been around for many years and are cunning. It is difficult to deal with, which requires the imperial court to send troops. It is just that there is no need to go to war, it is better to send some small groups of powerful troops. They are flexible and quick to respond. They can combine with the local people, take the initiative to attack, and defeat them one by one. In one fell swoop, we will wipe out the banditry in the Central Plains!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, the banditry in the Central Plains is also a perennial problem.

Since the shame of Jingkang, the Central Plains have been torn apart and lost order.

After the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the level of governance was not flattering.

After another ten years of hard work, the bandits have also become elite, which is very difficult to deal with.

But we Daming can't say no!

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to personally deploy to suppress the bandits.

This matter cannot be solved by Zhang Ximeng just saying a few words and having a general plan.

"Sir, we see that you look haggard and lack of energy... Don't you be sick again like the previous few years? This is not okay, we can't leave you for a moment, sir, so let's let you rest for a while, and give it to you." Jiang Tiju will take a vacation, and the branch bureau will be temporarily handed over to the deputy director, Han Xiuniang. Don't worry, they are all capable female officials, and they will not make mistakes. Let Jiang Tiju and you have a good rest! When will you come back to see things? We tell you."

Good guy, the couple were temporarily dismissed from their official positions and went on vacation directly.

If this falls on ordinary officials, it is estimated that they will have to wait to be imprisoned and interrogated by the three divisions.

However, Zhang Ximeng said that he was in a stable mood. When he went back, he bought two catties of red dates in addition to goji berries.

effort!

After giving Zhang Ximeng a holiday, Zhu Yuanzhang called a few people over. Coincidentally, they were all young talents in the army, Zhu Wenzheng, Lan Yu, and Li Wenzhong. Zhu is very satisfied.

"Zhu Wenzheng, you played very well in Shanzhou. You fought against strong enemies and were indomitable. We will use your perseverance."

Lao Zhu looked at Lan Yu again, and smiled, "You have made a great contribution in raiding Baixingkou this time. What we value is that you are meticulous in thinking, thoughtful and bold in handling things. This is the key to suppressing bandits."

Lan Yu sullenly did not answer, but she was very excited in her heart, finally Jane was in the emperor's heart.

The last gaze fell on Li Wenzhong. He seemed to have done nothing in the past few years, and he had nothing to show for it. Why did Lao Zhu choose him?
