[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

The matter of finding land had already been offered as a reward when Lin Yu took over Dongfan.All the merchants who go out to sea for business have received a simplified version of the sea chart from the Yamen of Beizhou. If they really find the large piece of land in the south and bring back the animals and plants there as proof, not only can they be provided by Lin Yu With a generous bonus, you can even name that region after yourself.

But for such a long time, even with the simple sea chart provided by Lin Yu, very few people have actually found that piece of land.Before, a businessman came to say that he had found the mainland, but it turned out that he only found an island on the side, maybe he could find the real mainland if he went deeper, but it is a pity that he thought that the bounty had already been spit out. Within reach, turn around and leave.

This time, since this piece of information has been reported to the Huangshi side, it means that there is real and conclusive evidence, which means that the businessman named Dahu really walked into the hinterland of that piece of land.

Huang Shi and Lin Ruhai looked at each other, ready to move.However, Lin Ruhai looked down at the official affairs on his desk, grinned regretfully, and said, "Brother Huang, go yourself, remember to drink tea if you find something new later." He really wanted to see new things, but There are more important things ahead.Compared with a continent already in the pot, the imminent Northern Expedition is more significant.The Central Plains is the center of the world in the minds of all Chinese people, and a continent cannot be compared with it for the time being.

Huang Shi smiled, raised his foot and went to the Northern Zhou government office.

Inside the yamen, Xin Zongping has personally received this businessman named Dahu.This can be said to be quite a high salary when the government departments of the entire Northern State are urgently preparing for the Northern Expedition.Xin Zongping paid so much attention to it because Lin Yu once told him that as the population continued to expand in the future, they should learn from their ancestors in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods and continue to find and open up new lands for their descendants.

Seeing Huang Shi coming, Xin Zongping rushed forward and said, "Brother Huang, come and see." The two walked into the back of the mansion together, where a merchant named Dahu was bringing rare and exotic beasts Where are you waiting.

Seeing that Xin Zongping went to the front to personally welcome an adult wearing a red looped jacket, Duo only thought that he was a taller officer, and his heart became more nervous, and he almost touched the ground with a standard salute.

"No need to be polite." Huang Shi smiled. He stepped forward and stretched out his hands to help him, and then looked around several cages containing exotic animals. Among them were big birds with long necks and hunchbacks, some with bags in front, There are also long-tailed beasts with cubs in the bag, and a number of animals that have never been seen before.

The big tiger on one side also said regretfully: "There is another kind of rare beast, which lives on the tree for a long time and has little activity. For this reason, the little one dug the soil and planted a tree, but it is a pity that the tree lived, but the strange beast died."

Huang Shi asked, "Where's the corpse?"

"There is no one on board who tanned furs. They had to throw them away in order to let them rot and cause disease." Duo also felt that it was a pity. Among these beasts, in his opinion, the only one looked unsatisfactory and had a docile temperament. It's just right to offer it to the family members of the general's family.

Huang Shi nodded, and asked Xin Zongping, "Have you already asked?"

At that time, there were no specialized experts on animals and plants, and the so-called broad-minded people had nothing to do with such things that had never been recorded in books.We have to ask animals to ask veterinarians, plants to ask old farmers, and recruit people who are knowledgeable in such miscellaneous subjects.

Xin Zongping nodded and said, "I've asked all of them, there's no problem." There's no need to confirm how these animals are. The most important thing is that these things can prove that what Dumb found is indeed a large continent.He took out the rough map presented by Du Hu again, and said, "This is the nautical chart he recorded, and the location of the landing, including what he observed along the coast within the range of his ability. "

Huang Shi took a look and said, "That's enough. Later, the general will organize other people to go there." He put away the chart and said, "Is there anyone there?"

When Duhu heard this, he knew that the two men had recognized his merits, so he couldn't help but beam with joy, and hurriedly said: "Yes, but he drank his own blood and never had his own writing. The young ones only came into contact with such a tribe. There are many such tribes, not necessarily as kind as they are."

Huang Shi nodded, and said: "That's barbarians." He didn't take such natives seriously, in his heart, these people were probably inferior to the Tartars in the north, and they were the ones who needed to be educated.

"This is to trouble Brother Huang." Xin Zongping knew that he was going to report the map to Lin Yu through the channel of their Military Intelligence Department, and when he saw that he had finished speaking, he ordered, "According to the regulations, the 1 taels of gold is yours. That's right. The continent you discovered, the city and the dock built from the place you landed will be named after you, and it will be called Tiger City, how about it?"

Dug couldn't help being overjoyed, bowing and nodding repeatedly.He was more pleased with the 1 taels of gold than his fame through the ages. Even though according to the regulations of Beizhou, the gold in his hands was only 8000 taels, but it was still a large amount of money. A huge sum of money that even the merchants can't make back.

After leaving these strange beasts behind, the big tiger left behind the crew who took care of these wild beasts on board. Xin Zongping and Huang Shi then left from the back office, walked into the study, and said, "It's a pity! , the north is about to move, I'm afraid the general won't be in the mood to watch a show like Xianbao."

Huang Shi rubbed his chin, and a short layer of downy whiskers had grown on it: "Even if it's not in war, the general doesn't like any auspicious things. In his words, they are all deceptive things, so don't use them." Recording it will only make future generations laugh. However, it is a good thing to find the mainland, and the general will be happy."

"That's true." Xin Zongping once looked at Lin Yu's historical map from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the present position. It clearly shows that the Chinese nation has occupied a small part of the Central Plains until now. Generally occupy almost all the arable land in the entire continent.The comparison before and after clearly shows the expansion of the Chinese nation, but this kind of expansion is not the naked|naked bloody like those barbarians in the West, but a relatively gentle process of turning barbarians into Xia.

This is the real core of the distinction between Chinese and Barbarians in Confucius' mouth, not an excuse for those cynics to kneel and lick the rulers.The ancient Chinese strictly distinguished the advanced Huaxia people from the backward barbarians by their culture, rather than by single factors such as blood relationship, which itself had a strong color of cultural nationalism.In Lin Yu's words, although it was difficult earlier, the ancestors who have been tempered are the real strength.Not to mention surviving tenaciously, but also summed up such a thought theory that can be called the golden rule, which is not eclipsed when used in future generations.

Therefore, this distinction between Hua and Barbarians has become the core of thought under Lin Yu's rule. After combining the wisdom of the ancestors found from the pile of old papers with the current situation, it is used to refute those who died of the former Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. Those cynical ideological weapons that the imperial court took for themselves can be said to be accurate.

As Lin Yu has always said, in the pre-Qin period, the Chinese nation held a sword in one hand and a book of poetry in the other, so that they could conquer such a region.Then the first emperor swept Liuhe, and the books were on the same track as the Wenche, and this was the basis for the continued expansion of the Chinese nation.

In this kind of history, the most fundamental point is the strength of force value.Just like the sentence that Lin Yu once said in the history that Lin Yu once experienced, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Lin Yu has never shy away from talking about such things. The Beizhou Daily, which he set up under his instructions, often publishes some short stories in plain language when the ancestors expanded, while attacking the region by force and holding up poems to educate foreigners. .

And such newspapers spread to the south of the Yangtze River as the area that Lin Yu captured expanded.

Newspapers are a good thing that is easy to carry around. The convenience of north-south communication allows the family of officials in Yangzhou, which is still under the control of the imperial court, to read these Beizhou daily newspapers one after another.

No matter how strictly the local government bans it, the Beizhou Daily will no longer appear on the surface.But privately handwritten tabloids spread like a raging fire.Even the magistrate of Yangzhou secretly read the confiscated tabloids. Under such circumstances, how could he be able to hold back.

In the pre-Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu once made a rule that students were strictly prohibited from discussing state affairs.This has been scolded by most people who don't know why in this dynasty and even later generations. It is thought imprisonment and so on.

In fact, most of the students are at a young age, and they are especially vulnerable to being used by those old tricksters in the court.In fact, this article became a formality after Hongwu, just like Dahao once.At the time of Hongwu, some people dared to sue the court against corrupt officials.Ever since Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi treated literati kindly, there has never been such a phenomenon.

It has to be said that the popularity of tabloids is due to the zodiac signs that Lin Yu spread.They have been authorized to form a dark army at the location, and marching troops are not easy to do on the bright side.For example, the newspapers in Yangzhou are now spreading like a raging fire, even in the direction of Shandong.

If it is said that most of the common people just listened to the excitement, it would be false if those who have studied and attended school did not leave traces in their hearts due to such propaganda.There are only a few people who can really stick to their point of view. Even if more students know that this is just Lin Yu's psychological attack, they still can't help but start to believe what the newspaper says.

There was once a scholar who wanted to refute such 'nonsense', but after reading the history books, he couldn't help but fell silent.These short stories are all excerpted from history books. The people who wrote them did not exaggerate them artistically at all, but just wrote them more plainly, so that more people can understand them at a glance.

The scholar's name was Zhuo Ming. After thinking and struggling, he finally made up his mind to take these books with him to meet his classmates.

Before he walked in, he heard the faint excited voices of his classmates "crushing against non-officials" coming from inside.

Seeing him approaching, a scholar whose face was flushed with excitement hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Mingcheng, didn't you say that you went to check the history books, how did you find the basis for the arbitrary arrangement of those traitors. "

Zhuo Ming saw that everyone in the room looked at him with excitement, and couldn't help but put down the history book in his hand silently, saying: "I found it."

He spread out the books one by one, and showed the words he found to his classmates, and the silence in the room was unsurprisingly received.He looked at these people, thinking that they were suffering from the same thought shock as before, and was about to say something, when he saw a person who had come to greet him stand up suddenly and said: "The world changes, the past situation, and Can it be the same now?"

There was one person at the beginning, and someone immediately followed: "That's exactly the case, and the Han Dynasty was full of militarism. How can there be a wise pilgrimage to the emperor to recuperate and never add gifts." People responded repeatedly, as if this could cover up their weak hearts.

Seeing this, Zhuo Ming swallowed all the persuasion that came to his lips.He remembered that the newspaper once published an analysis of the huge scam under Never Added Fu, and he used to be unwilling to believe it, but he still couldn't hide these things if he really wanted to investigate them.

Historically, China's taxes were not one word, but two separate taxes.Among them, the tax goes into the national treasury and the emperor's internal treasury for royal use.Indeed, the endowment has decreased.But the royal family wants to have fun, so it’s not about making money from the treasury. Didn’t the Supreme Emperor, who had just passed away not long ago, go to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and didn’t he get money from his own treasury?

The state treasury cannot make ends meet, and it is not because of the need to increase taxes, coupled with the help of corrupt officials and petty officials, the lives of the people will only become more and more difficult.Otherwise, if you really want to be as wise as these people boast, then how can there be such years of famine.The rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, and even the former dynasty, which was said to be extremely dark by the court, have never experienced such a famine!

He also thought about whether the history books would deceive people, but no matter how much he tried to make excuses for this dynasty, he still couldn't pass the test of his conscience.

Zhuo Ming looked at it and spat, saying that the ruler of the dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, emphasizing Confucianism, gentry, and hometown. This is the image of orthodoxy, while the "thieves" in the south set up some nondescript township officials and wantonly expanded the primary school , but does not teach the study of sages, and those who come from mud legs are put together with scholars, and scholars are also asked to do the lowly work that officials originally did.

He finally understood that these people didn't really understand the records in the history books, but they felt that the way of the south belittled their "noble" status of scholars. Therefore, the south is a traitor, and this dynasty is "orthodox".

Different ways and not conspiring with each other, he silently packed up the history books he brought, and left quietly.

There are many young students like Zhuo Ming, and some of them understand something like him.Some people, like his classmates, obviously didn't understand, but they saw the end of their original good life, so they crazily praised the "orthodoxy" and "benevolence" of this dynasty.

They may not know that the 'Ben Dynasty' has come to an end, but they still hope that Emperor Longchang in the north can regroup and regain the rivers and mountains, so that they don't have to face the end, and they can kneel and lick the 'Ben Dynasty' Shengming with peace of mind No casting.

Fortunately, young people like Zhuo Ming are the majority after all.The more sober among these people, I am afraid that they may not know that they are against the class they were born in, but with a little blood in their hearts, they resolutely made the decision to flee south and join Lin Yu's rule.

At this time, Lin Yu had already returned to Jinling from Shaanxi.

The first order when I returned to Jinling was to reopen the imperial examination.This time the imperial examination is different from all the previous ones, and the original content has been greatly reduced.Among them, poems, stereotyped scriptures and other scriptures were all deleted, which Lin Yu thought was useless, and almost only policy theory was left, and law and numerology were added. If you can ride and shoot, you will get extra points.

Such a large-scale reform, of course, is impossible to ask people to take the exam at once. I am afraid that apart from those officials in his army, few people can pass the exam.In fact, after the reformed imperial examination system was announced, textbooks on numerology and the newly compiled Han law were also distributed at the same time.

Basically, as long as you have learned these and can apply them flexibly, it will not be a problem to pass the exam.In addition, Lin Yu also specially set up an official training school to teach them to be officials, and it is also a warning.Unlike the imperial court in the north, the salaries of Lin Yu's officials are very high, but once it is found that there is evidence of accepting bribes, according to the amount of money and the size of the loss, there will be different punishment measures.

Even if the family members are not involved, the intensity of the blow against oneself is second only to that of the Hongwu period.Once it exceeds a thousand taels of silver, it will be a small life.

Zhuo Ming had a great time chewing on the law book he just bought from the bookstore. He just arrived in Jinling this month, because the identity of people from Yangzhou has been checked quite a bit, but compared to those who came from further north Man, his treatment is much better.Because under Lin Yu's rule, only the status of students is recognized, and no further recognition is made at the higher level. Therefore, Zhuo Ming, who is a Juren, has to treat himself as a scholar and start the exam again.

To be honest, Lin Yu's order not to recognize the status of a student or above caused an uproar in Jiangnan at first.But the total number of Juren is only so much, even if they have a great influence in their hometown, and they once gathered a crowd to make a scene. Since all the students were taken away from that time, the scholars who already have a family background cherish their identities very much, and they are not willing to do it again. Follow the instigation of others and make trouble again.

For the scholars, they still have to continue the exam, but the content of the exam has changed, and the content of the learning has also changed, which does not touch their fundamental interests.As soon as the scholars misfired, the Juren couldn't make a fuss anymore.As for Jinshi, most Jinshi are officials, not to mention what happens to those who become officials during wartime.Especially those officials who lost ground and fled, wishing that they would not be recognized by others, how dare they be the rafters in the early days.

Therefore, after Lin Yu issued the order to continue the imperial examination, a little spark was wiped out.

In desperation, all the scholars who still want to be an official picked up their books again. Fortunately, Jinling not only distributed the textbooks, but also sent down a number of numerology and masters who were proficient in the law. Classes are taught, but not closed.Therefore, every time a class is held, the inside and outside are full of scholars.

Such a scene was seen by those old students who swore not to be rebels, and they couldn't help sighing that their hearts were not bitter.He groaned and sighed and disturbed others' lectures, and he didn't stop being kicked out.

Before the imperial examination is officially held, there is one more thing that needs to be resolved first.

Lin Yu is now only roughly called a general, and does not have an official title.Even if Lin Yu himself doesn't care anymore, people in the world care about an orthodoxy.As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not go well. Such genes have probably been firmly engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.Therefore, before the Northern Expedition, Lin Yu had to officially change his name.

Fortunately, the Northern Expedition was too major and required too many preparations. It was not like the later generations who could take a trip as soon as they said it.Before the preparations in Beizhou were completed, Lin Yu was not idle in Jinling.

Changing one's name to be king is not like enthroning, it is something to consider after the Northern Expedition.However, in a country with great etiquette, when the so-called simplicity was presented in front of Lin Yu, it had nothing to do with these two words at all.

Lin Yu frowned and flipped through the pages. He shuffle through dozens of pages of rules and regulations. This is the first time he has received such a thick memorial after he streamlined the memorial and talked about everything in terms of data.He read two pages and stopped reading. Etiquette cannot be completely abandoned, but it is indeed not suitable at this time. He is only a wife, not to mention that he lives in Beizhou, and there is one in his stomach. It is such a cumbersome task for pregnant women to participate. Isn't this tossing people's etiquette, it is really unnecessary and inappropriate.

But one of the words caught his attention.

Jinling was still under military control for the time being, so he called Zhang Zhong and asked, "How many bannermen are there in this city?"

Zhang Zhong didn't know what his plan was, so he replied honestly: "There are more than 3000 people, and people are needed everywhere, so that's all that's left." The letters from dignitaries sent by the office gave me a headache, so I was quite impressed by these figures.

"Pick out those who are more senior." Lin Yu thought for a while, and said, "One out of ten, let's make 300 people, and prepare to sacrifice."

Sacrifice?Zhang Zhong was puzzled, but his duty of obeying orders made him turn around without hesitation.

It was indeed a sacrifice, the inspiration Lin Yu got from the thick memorial just now.He has already visited Jinling for the second time, but this time it is more justifiable than before. The land in the south of the Yangtze River has already been taken, and it is time to sacrifice to Emperor Hongwu who is sleeping underground.

What is more suitable for offering sacrifices to an emperor who drove Meng Yuan out of the land of China than the feat of expelling the Tartars?

Lin Yu has a destiny, even if his decision is not in line with the ancestral etiquette, a large-scale memorial activity is still quickly arranged and brewed.This memorial service is not only for offering sacrifices to Emperor Hongwu, but also for Lin Yu to proclaim the Northern Expedition before the mausoleum.

Several things were rubbed together by him, and the officials below broke their legs.Not only them, Zhang Zhong also specially allocated an army to guard Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the atmosphere in Jinling was unprecedentedly warm and tense.

The common people didn't know that Lin Yu would announce the Northern Expedition after the sacrifice, but when they thought that it was also expelling the captives, a future emperor would put on a battle robe in front of the past emperor's mausoleum, and inherit the will to become king. This kind of news is enough Make their blood boil.

As for the officials of Jinling City and the gentry who were dissatisfied with Lin Yu, facing such a significant memorial ceremony, they all stayed at home and dared not go out.They didn't dare to say harsh words at this time, the 'rebels' were already full of vigilance against their every move, in order to leave this useful body to wait for the sage king in the north to reorganize the rivers and mountains in the future, and then go out to serve the court at that time, They are also able to stay at home very well and not go out.

Speaking of which, the Supreme Emperor, who was facing the imperial court in the north, went to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and almost every time he came to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty. He was also praised by the scholars at that time as "the etiquette is prosperous, surpassing the usual sacrifices, and it is an act of eternal virtue."After Lin Yu knew about it, he almost made these scholars disgusted by their unscrupulous behavior of kneeling and licking. Wouldn't it be a ridiculous thing for a Tartar emperor to pay homage to an emperor who expelled the Tartars and was praised as the wise king? .

Therefore, this time Lin Yu murderously prepared [-] bannermen, preparing to use their blood to wash away the humiliation of the Chinese nation in the past century.Thinking about it, Emperor Hongwu would be satisfied with such a sacrifice while lying on the ground.

The people in the city didn't know the butcher's knife they raised towards Lin Yu, and it didn't matter if they knew it.The people in the restaurant can be seen talking enthusiastically about the upcoming memorial ceremony almost everywhere. Zhuo Ming gnawed on the law book for half a month, walked out of the inn dizzily, walked down the street, and drank one ear Words such as offering sacrifices and proclaiming kings.

He picked a random restaurant and sat down. His family had a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to live in Jinling for more than half a year.He brought an old servant with him to take care of his daily life, but at this time, he asked the old servant to rest, and went out by himself to wander around and listen to any news on the street.

Under Lin Yu's rule, newspapers are of course not banned, and there are even special storytellers in the restaurant to tell the contents of the newspapers, and the common people can have a good taste by ordering a plate of fennel beans and a pot of turbid wine While away the afternoon.

Zhuo Ming took the seat upstairs and sat down. He was wearing a fine cotton robe, and at first glance he looked very different from the mud-legged ones downstairs. The waiter hurried up to meet him and asked, "What does this gentleman want?"

Zhuo Ming asked, "Are there any newspapers here?"

The waiter in the shop smiled and said: "Yes, of course there are." They are in the business of receiving and delivering. How can we not be prepared for this kind of thing that everyone likes? Free, no need to buy another one. If you are dissatisfied, you may watch it for free, just don’t be dirty.”

Zhuo Ming picked out a silver bean from his purse, and said, "A plate of seasonal dishes, a plate of vinegared fish, rice, and a pot of good tea." After a pause, he added, "Tea and so on." I'll serve it after dinner, and bring it along with the newspaper."

The waiter in the shop let out a hey in a hurry, carefully picked up the silver bean and went down to pass on the dishes.At this time, the purchasing power of silver is astonishing, and ordinary Dousheng people have never seen white | flowers | flowers in their entire lives.A silver bean like the one Zhuo Ming gave was about two renminbi, and the dishes he ordered were not delicacies, and one silver bean was more than enough.This is because the price of food has risen since Lin Yu attacked the middle school. If it were changed in the past, even in Jinling, such food would be enough for a penny.

According to the rules, he doesn't have any share of the money, at most the shopkeeper credits him with a penny more.Therefore, the waiter in the shop was also happy to report some better materials to Zhuo Ming.For example, he will quote the freshest seasonal side dishes, choose the largest vinegar fish, and choose the most expensive tea.In this way, there are still a lot of two coins.

As soon as Zhuo Ming saw the dishes coming up one after another, he knew it in his heart, smiled and grabbed a handful of copper coins to reward him, and the waiter went away happily.Taking a good look at the second floor, Zhuo Ming put down his job and hurried up to tidy up, and made tea with him again, not forgetting the newspaper that Zhuo Ming wanted, which was very attentive.

It was already almost afternoon, Zhuo Ming missed the restaurant because he had read too much, the restaurant was not very busy.Seeing that the boy was interesting and discerning, he put down the newspaper first and asked him line by line.Since there are people coming these days, storytellers say something, they ask about the price of food and everything, and the waiter in the shop is also happy to talk about it. It's not Menqing, a mouth that can give the name of the dish neatly is really loud and fast.It wasn't until the shopkeeper downstairs called him loudly that he shrank his neck and went with oil on the soles of his feet.

Zhuo Ming heard from the waiter in the shop that the Han army had killed several of those grain merchants who were hoarding for odds, and Fang Ping lowered the price of grain in the south of the Yangtze River.Don't you know that when General Lin was first in Xinghua Mansion, he had already killed a man's head for such a thing, and he was only a magistrate at that time.Now that they are about to be crowned king, it is no surprise that at least this land in the south of the Yangtze River faces the imperial court in the north.It's really boring to dare to break ground on the head of Tai Sui.

However, this is also General Lin's love for the people, which can be seen from the time when he was in Xinghua Mansion.Zhuo Ming spread out the newspaper carefully. This is no longer a new newspaper. The ink on the newly printed newspaper is not dry, and it will be stained if you are not careful. I will stick my hands and pass it to the gentlemen.But the one in Zhuo Ming's hand didn't have such troubles. From Beizhou to Jinling, even the dates couldn't be matched, not to mention the ink stains, which had been thoroughly dried long ago.

Hearing that the Beizhou Daily is coming to Jinling, Zhuo Ming recalled the gossip he had heard, looked up and down the newspapers, but found no relevant news, and felt a little discouraged.Although the Beizhou Daily was denounced as the mouthpiece of the general's mansion by the literati in Jiangnan, in the hearts of Zhuo Ming and even most of the common people, there were not too many newspapers.Especially for scholars like Zhuo Ming, after understanding the timeliness of newspapers, they look forward to running a newspaper in Jinling.

Newspapers have added different sentence readings, which should be called punctuation marks now.I was not used to looking at it before, but it is like Arabic numerals, and I feel much more convenient when I get used to it.

He flipped through the newspaper, and even read the advertisements in the cracks twice before refolding the newspaper.He stretched out his ears and listened to the storyteller below for a while. He didn't stand up until he finished speaking and began to repeat, ready to go back and continue preparing for the scientific examination.

That thick law book is not an easy job. I heard that the scientific examination is not only about memorization, but also examples. It is not easy to get a good evaluation.

He went downstairs, just in time to see a group of sergeants in big red looped jackets coming in from outside.These people are the sergeants of the general's mansion, usually smiling, sometimes walking on the street and seeing something inconvenient, they always take action when they can.Therefore, the truly simple people have never been afraid of them.However, seeing them walking in with such serious faces, they only regarded it as something important, and the big men who usually dared to joke with the soldiers couldn't help but fell silent.

They stood still at the same spot, pulled out a black notice on a yellow background made of cloth from their waists, and pasted it on the chopping board in front of the restaurant. Such a chopping board was originally used for posting government notices and arrest warrants.After posting it, I went all the way without saying a word.After they had all left, the crowd gradually made noise.

"Usually I don't know that I'm laughing and joking, but now I see that Guai Dao is an invincible master. When he puts on his face, he really has a bluffing temperament."

"No, I really can't see it." Someone greeted me, "If there is any difficulty in normal times, tell them to come forward to help without saying a word, and they don't want to leave without a penny. Didn't they say that soldiers used to be like scorpions? "

"That's called banditry is like combing soldiers, and life is like a grate." Hearing a few words from the old boy next to him, he opened his mouth triumphantly.

"Hey, that's that." The one who spoke before said, "I heard that they just copied the houses of corrupt officials, and they didn't steal a big one." In their hearts, any family like that It's not that there are piles of gold and silver, and you can eat for a lifetime with a little deduction.It is quite reassuring that the Han army can not take any.

"I don't know, they are paid five taels of silver a month, but if you become a small captain, you get more money, everyone is like you, just look at your eyes?" Someone laughed, "It's like that The story says that it’s not that people from good families can’t join the army!” He held his head up, and asked him if he was from a good family.

"You are a son of a good family, and I didn't see you dare to join the army!" As a result, I didn't invite anyone to ask, but I laughed, "There is no room for bragging, why don't you read what is written on it, I heard that anyone who can join the army must Literate, do you know how to read?"

But there was no sound.

Zhuo Ming heard that those people came and went for a while, but there was nothing to say, so he walked to the cutting board and knew why.The notice issued by the general's mansion has always been based on the standard that the common people can understand it, but this time it is rare to add a lot of modified words to show solemnity.Just know a few words and really can't understand.

Seeing such a white-faced scholar in a long robe approaching, the people on the side squeezed each other to make room for him, and asked anxiously, "What's written here?"

Zhuo Ming turned around and said loudly: "On the first day of next month, the general will behead the tartar in front of Emperor Hongwu's mausoleum to sacrifice to his old man's spirit in heaven!"
