The World of Yellow Sky

There was another burst of cheers and cheers in the teahouse.

"However, what I'm talking about this time is not about the "Northern Xiongnu"..."

There was a hint of cunning in the storyteller's eyes.

"What stories are you planning to tell, sir?"

Sure enough, an impatient person asked loudly.

"This story happened in our Jiangyi."

The storyteller smiled and said loudly.

"The story I will tell next is called "Yan Ling Dao". It tells the story that happened in our Jiangyi. The protagonist of the story is none other than Jiangyi's eagle wolf guard Baihu——Zhao Ji!"

"General Nanzheng is courageous, with the Qiushui Yanling knife across his waist."

"The wind blows the drums, the mountains and rivers move, and the lightning flashes the flags and the sun and the moon are high."

The storyteller first read the opening words of "Yan Ling Dao", and his heart surged.

The person who wrote these stories was Xu An, the great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao, and the opening words of each story are catchy poems, and these opening words are all written by Xu An.

The storyteller told the story of "Yan Ling Dao" passionately, and he admired Xu An even more in his heart.

Chapter 345 "Four Musts" and "Four Don'ts"

In the teahouse, it was very noisy and bustling.

But no one noticed that not far from the teahouse, there were three Tiqi of Eagle Wolf Guards standing.

These three people are the Yinglangwei Tiqi of Jiangyi City, and they are Zhao Ji, Lin Zhong, and Zhang Ji who came to investigate the accounts of Mintun in the north of Jiangyi.

Hearing someone talking about Pingshu, the three felt itchy for a moment, so they also listened to the lecture.

"Baihu is now on Pingshu, but he has become a celebrity in Jiangyi."

Looking at the embarrassed Zhao Ji, Zhang Ji couldn't help joking.

Lin Zhong seemed to have a smile on his face at all times, looking beaming, and when he heard Zhang Ji's words, he also echoed them.

"I was worried that our Baihu would not be able to find a good match, but I didn't want Baihu to become the protagonist in the storytelling. It seems that the matchmaker in Jiangyi who is going to marry him is probably going to be our Baihu. outside the government office."

"You two brats..."

Zhao Ji shook his head helplessly, and cursed angrily.

"With just the mouths of the two of you, I will definitely recommend you to be storytellers someday."

When Zhang Ji followed Xu An as a guard before, he didn't talk much about Xi Huang.

To be honest, those who followed Xu An were indeed a bit depressed, and the pressure Xu An was under also affected the people around him.

There are more than [-] soldiers, and millions of lives are tied to them. Half a mistake or half hesitation may cause the Yellow Turban Army to suffer unacceptable losses.

Over time, Zhang Ji also developed the habit of being unsmiling.

It's just that Zhang Ji is still a young man after all, and after being transferred to Jiangyi City, he is obviously much more lively.

Everyone didn't know his identity, they only said that he was a newcomer from the Taoist hall.

In addition, among the hundred households of the Wolf Guard in Jiangyi, Lin Zhong and others were also chatterboxes, and Zhao Ji came from the Yellow Turban Army soldiers camp, and he didn't have any airs of being a superior official. After getting acquainted with each other, Zhang Ji became more talkative.

"Since you can say that..."

Zhao Ji rolled his eyes and smiled.

Lin Zhong's heart tightened, and he knew something was wrong, so he said quickly: "Baihu, I remember that there still seems to be some problems with the deputy clerk's account, so I will go ahead."

"Don't worry."

How could Zhao Ji allow Lin Zhong to leave at this time, and grabbed Lin Zhong's clothes.

"Lin Zhong, please memorize the regulations recently issued by Wei Zhong."

Lin Zhong finally endured the pain with a smile on his face. He is not afraid of swords and guns, nor is he afraid of investigating cases, but he is afraid of literacy and endorsement.

What makes people uncomfortable is that all the flag officers and above of the Eagle Wolf Guard are required to be able to read and read, and a Fu Zhu was sent over, and the superior opened a literacy class in the guard.

No matter what position he was in, he had to start learning how to read and write. Lin Zhong was tortured to death.

But fortunately, don't recite Na Laoshizi's "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", just let them know the most basic characters.

Otherwise, Lin Zhong would really like to commit suicide by jumping into the river. The literacy class was opened two months ago. In two months, Lin Zhong could only recognize more than 100 characters.

Lin Zhong hurriedly laughed and said, "Please forgive me, Baihu."

"Hmph." Zhao Ji snorted coldly, and said with a smile, "This is a new rule promulgated by the great virtuous teacher. Do you have an opinion? Don't you want to memorize it?"

"This……"

Lin Zhongjian really couldn't escape, so he could only hesitate and recite it.

"The first rule: When talking to people, you must be kind. The second rule: You can't buy other people's things forcibly...or sell things by force. Buying and selling things must be fair..."

Lin Zhong barely recited two or three, and got stuck on the spot.

The new regulation was promulgated not long ago, and he had a headache when he mentioned the endorsement, and he couldn't memorize it completely.

"Hehe, I knew it."

A smile appeared on Zhao Ji's face. He knew that Lin Zhong would not be able to recite it all.

"Go back and copy the eight rules fifty times."

Lin Zhong showed bitterness, and begged for mercy: "It's impossible, Baihu, there are not many yellow papers in the government office. It's too wasteful for me to copy them fifty times."

Zhao Ji sneered and said: "It's okay, I can still apply to the Qianhu Institute. When I opened the literacy class before, Qianhu told me that I should catch a few typical examples and copy the Huangtian paper, which is enough!"

Seeing that Zhao Ji was unmoved, Lin Zhong looked at Zhang Ji with a bitter face, feeling a little better in his heart.

If Zhang Ji can't recite it, at least he has a brother who suffers with him.

Not long after the new regulations were promulgated, Zhang Ji went to Mintun with them for inspection, so he probably wouldn't be arrested either.

Zhang Ji just glanced at Lin Zhong to know what he was thinking.

"The eight regulations are named "Four Musts" and "Four Don'ts."

"Four things."

"One, be kind when talking to people."

"Second, buying and selling things must be fair."

"Three, damages must be compensated."

"Four, you have to return the borrowed things."

"Four nos."

"One, don't hit or swear."

"Second, the crops must not be damaged."

"Three, don't molested women."

"Four, don't take advantage of your power to bully others."

"These are the "Four Musts" and "Four Don'ts", which explain how the people under my Taipingdao rule should get along with each other."

"This……"

Lin Zhong's face turned into a liver color in an instant.

"Brother Lin, it seems that you have to copy "Four Musts" and "Four Don'ts" fifty times by yourself."

Zhang Jijiu followed Xu An, and also learned to read and write from Yan Zhong's long-term follower.

But the most important point is that as long as Xu An said something important, Zhang Ji will definitely write it down, and remember it very clearly.

The eight new regulations of the "Four Musts" and "Four Don'ts" that must be complied with this time are Xu An's orders.

So Zhang Ji had already memorized these eight rules by heart on the first day.

At this time, he was not afraid of Zhao Ji's school exam at all.

"Lin Zhong, look at Zhang Ji, who is also a banner official. Others remember it well, why can't you remember it?"

Zhao Ji patted Lin Zhong on the shoulder and laughed.

Zhang Ji smiled, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "I heard that these eight new regulations are promulgated to the entire army, not just our Eagle Wolf Guard?"

"Indeed, this time the new regulations must be followed by the entire army."

Zhao Ji nodded and said.

"Speak kindly...the business is fair..."

Zhao Ji was talking about the newly promulgated regulations. He remembered what Xu An had said when the people who were harassed by the Huns were relocated to the north.

If the people go north, the army should go south.

"Okay!" "Okay!"

The sound of applause and applause came from the teahouse.

Zhao Ji looked up at the teahouse, and he saw something different.

The people in the teahouse seem to have a look in their eyes.

That was a look he had never seen when he was just an ordinary farmer in the Taihang Mountains.

There are smiles on the faces of these people, and that look is the longing for a better life in the future.

Zhao Ji was a little stunned. The beaming people in front of him knew that their smiles were genuine.

There are no exorbitant taxes, no domineering tyrants, bullies, no bandits and bandits that can threaten their lives.

3Chapter 16 Jinyang Conference

Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, and Jinyang City Government Office.

On May [-]st, there were only three months to go before the decided date of the uprising.

All the decorations of the government offices and offices in Jinyang City have been removed.

The majestic government office that once looked magnificent has long been changed beyond recognition because of the Yellow Turban Army's move-in.

Those ornamental plants, rockeries, and pools were all removed and buried.

Now all the affairs of the Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Road must be handed over to Jinyang City.

The political and military center of the Yellow Turban Army here, as well as the staff working in the government office, are far higher than the size of the Han army in Jinyang City before.

Therefore, those things that were originally used for viewing and had no practical use were removed. As for the places where the dignitaries and nobles rested, they were also removed one by one.

There is no such thing as privilege in the Yellow Turban Army. All the generals and officials of the Yellow Turban Army, including Xu An, basically have the same food, clothing, housing and transportation as ordinary soldiers and civil servants.

The places where all the generals and officials of the Yellow Turban Army live are not magnificent places.

Although he defeated the Xiongnu, he obtained part of the money, food such as cattle and sheep, and free manpower.

But now the financial crisis of the Yellow Turban Army has not been resolved, and the seized money from powerful families, as well as the taxes collected, only barely allow the Yellow Turban Army to survive.

Like Han Ting, the food cost of one meal per person of the aristocrats of the aristocratic family would even consume a few days for a full hundred people.

Dahan has thirteen prefectures with tens of millions of people. The current Yellow Turban Army only occupies one part of Bingzhou with a population of one million.

Now is not the time to enjoy, nor should it be.

Your salary, your salary, the people's anointing and the people's fat.

Extravagance and waste were strictly prohibited by Xu An in the Yellow Turban Army.

Sugar-coated cannonballs, luxurious places are the easiest to corrode people's will.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty is a good example.

In the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they made great strides all the way, winning consecutive battles.

After defeating the Qing army and occupying Nanjing, the rulers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became increasingly corrupt, greedy for pleasure, indulging in a luxurious life, and completely divorced from the people.

According to the "Modern History of China": after the Taiping Army entered Nanjing, they immediately built large-scale construction projects, expanded the Yamen of Liangjiang Governor into Tianwang Mansion, demolished a large number of private houses, and employed tens of thousands of male and female laborers.
