CHAPTER XV

In the Qianhu Office of Kaiping Weixi City, Zheng Qianhu Dama Jindao sat in the main hall, Shen Qianhu's dark eyes were slightly sunken, and his mind was unpredictable, Meng knelt down on one knee under the hall, trying to be calm, at this time, calmness is more important than anything else.

Calm, calm, calm, calm.

Meng kept hinting at himself, but his heart was still like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down.

One Shen Xuan is enough for Meng Shishilang to drink a pot, plus a Zheng Qianhu who sits like a rock and is as powerful as Meng Hu, the pressure is too great.

The light in the hall is not good, and there is a picture of Meng Hu descending the mountain behind Zheng Qianhu, Meng can't help but have an illusion, the first two people have changed into flying fish suits, this is not Xicheng Wei Qianhu, but Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division.

Wipe the cold sweat silently, scare yourself, and make up for your brain, where is the Jinyi Guard here.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, the Jinyi Guard has been abolished, the torture equipment has been burned, the edict has been closed, the right to judge and torture have also been deprived, and the only function left is the emperor's honor guard. Although he no longer bears the name of Jinyiwei, as one of the twenty-six guards of the pro-army, the emperor can't abolish his honor guard, right?

Therefore, the abolition of Jinyiwei is abolished, and the people are still there.

When the darkest years have passed, King Yan ascends the throne, and the good time for the factory guard will come.

The two people in the audience have not made a sound, Meng doesn't want to continue to kneel stupidly, when the matter comes to an end, he thinks a lot, but he is not so afraid.

Isn't it just the construction of a semi-tofu scum project? First, he did not neglect his duties, second, he did not take the opportunity to collect money, and third, he did not take the risk of receiving military exploits, at most he increased the probability of being put in small shoes by his boss, what is he afraid of?

Even if this is an era of killing people like cutting watermelons, we must always pay attention to the cause and effect, and the teacher is famous. What's more, he is a small banner of the Ming border army, not a Mongolian Tartar on the opposite side.

"I've seen Zheng Qianhu and Shen Deputy Qianhu under the mark!"

"Get up."

The voice was very unfamiliar, and Meng didn't need to look up, he knew that it was Zheng Qianhu who was speaking.

In the army, there is a difference between the top and the bottom, the main and the deputy must be divided, and the rules are ironclad.

Noticing this, Meng didn't feel very happy, even if he could pass this pass safely, how should he explain to Ma Zongqi?

If you don't handle it well, this pair of small shoes, I'm afraid you have to wear it if you don't wear it.

When Meng stood up, Liu Cheng on the side glanced at him, and looked at the several craftsmen under the hall, Nunu, his movements were extremely fast, and he was clean and neat, no less than the people in the army.

Meng remained silent, and knew in his heart that the matter was due to these craftsmen. What the hell is going on, he doesn't know what to do now, so he can only ask afterwards. In short, let's get past the moment first.

Thinking of this, Meng's back straightened up, and his mind spun quickly.

"Meng Xiaoqi."

"Mark it in."

"This," Zheng Qianhu unfolded the piece of paper he had seen with Shen Xuan before, which was the drawing that Meng handed over to the craftsmen for reference, "Is it from you?" ”

"Returning to a thousand households, it is indeed from the hands of the standard."

"Well, it's really good." Zheng Qianhu seemed to want to put on a kind demeanor, but he was obviously not very successful. This praise only proves that the level of art appreciation of thousands of households really needs to be improved.

“…… Xie Qianhu praised and was ashamed. ”

"Meng Xiaoqi is a scholar?"

"I didn't have a talent, and I read for a few years."

"Or a child?"

"It's a fluke."

Zheng Qianhu grinned, "Be modest." ”

Meng also grinned, "Modesty is a virtue, and I have been working hard under the mark." ”

Zheng Qianhu was silent, turned his head and glanced at Liu's experience as a background board, with a very deep meaning in his eyes, a reader, it was really unusual.

Under the gaze of the thousands of households, who was too naked, naked, and naked, Liu Shi, who was lying down and was also shot, was speechless and cried.

Who did he recruit and provoke whom? Isn't it just a tie-in-one, helping to make a Chinese-person person, and making a little labor fee on both sides? As Kaipingwei of the "military management", he is a civil official, and it is not easy to earn some money at the same time.

Liu Shi's expression was too complaining, Zheng Qianhu finally moved away from the tiger's eyes, and Meng couldn't bear to turn his head, the dead Dao friend is not the poor Dao, even if the culprit is himself.

Shen Deputy Qianhu suddenly turned his head sideways, put one hand into a fist against his lips, and coughed twice. Runyu-like fingers, brightly colored lips, and between the eyebrows and eyes, it seems to be a little sharp.

"Meng Xiaoqi's military affairs?" Zheng Qianhu didn't speak, and Deputy Shen Qianhu took over the right to speak.

"I know a little about the skin, but I can't call it on paper."

"Knowledgeable about miscellaneous studies?"

"I have dabbled in it, and I dare not say that I am proficient."

"Can it be a camp?"

"Okay."

Shen Xuan nodded, not suspecting Meng of lying.

Although the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was heavy on the eight-strand system, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were by no means nerds as imagined by later generations, and in addition to studying, they would always cultivate a variety of hobbies, such as medicine, agriculture, tea art, and so on. There are many kinds of miscellaneous studies, and there are not a few people who specialize. It would not be surprising if a household department published an agricultural book in the middle of the matter, or if the Ministry of Industry was good at diagnosing people's pulses.

If you don't have one or two hobbies, you're embarrassed to say that you're a Ming scholar who has detached yourself from low-level interests.

Just as a speech official who has not scolded the emperor, impeached the cabinet, or participated in the six group brawls is not a good speech official.

Don't doubt that group fights are indeed a unique landscape for the civil and official groups of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, after Hongwu Yongle.

It's not that there are people who are stupid to read books, but by no means the majority. A nerd like Fan Jin is a registered trademark of Whip Chao.

Meng, who was a child before joining the army, has some insight in miscellaneous studies, and it is not untrustworthy. It's just that he is too young, and Zheng Qianhu and Shen Deputy Qianhu both think that there should be a famous teacher behind him, or a folk sage.

"In miscellaneous studies, who do you learn?"

"Back to the deputy thousand households, the mark is really self-taught."

"Self-taught?"

"Yes."

"If you are self-taught, where do you learn from? What book to read through? Shen Xuan picked up the drawing that was already a little crumpled, "It's called a bunker, it's actually an enemy platform, I built it on the side wall, you are a child, you are only fourteen years old, and you haven't been out of Beiping before joining the army, how can you teach yourself?" ”

Meng was not too nervous, "Go back to the deputy Qianhu, mark down and read part of the fragment of the former Song Xuanjinggong's "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and benefited a lot. ”

"What volume?"

"Defend the city." Meng raised his head, "But the mark is only a little learned, and the construction of this fort depends on his brothers and craftsmen in the city." What is said under the mark is true, and I dare not deceive in the slightest. ”

"Why did you come up with the idea of building a fort on the top of the mountain?"

"A month ago, the Tartars committed a border, marked down on the city wall, and saw a tragic scene on the pier." After a pause, Meng Cai continued: "I have no other plan to defend the outside of the city, just to do my best, please a thousand households, and a thousand households will be Mingjian." ”

When the words fell, the needles in the hall could be heard.

Shen Xuan didn't continue to ask, and put one hand on his lap, as if he was groaning.

Zheng Qianhu had already slowed down his expression, nodded, and asked, "The bunker here has been built?" ”

"It will take some time to return to a thousand households."

Asked Xian Ge to know the meaning of Yaya, Meng quickly guessed what Zheng Qianhu wanted to do, if Lord Qianhu wanted to go on a field trip, the face project still needed to be done again, at least one more layer of wall skin should be pasted.

"It's okay, I'll leave the city tomorrow, what does Ziyu think?"

Shen Xuan didn't nod immediately, but when Meng was full of hope, he said something that made him dumbfounded, "Qianhu still needs to sit in the city, so it's better for Xuan to act as a party." ”

"This ...... Also available. ”

"And this matter is extraordinary, if it is really practical, it needs to be reported to Commander Xu, in Xuan's opinion, the sooner the better."

"That's right." Zheng Qianhu nodded.

Zheng Qianhu waved his hand and immediately made a decision, and Deputy Shen Qianhu went out of the city today to conduct a field trip.

Meng Xiaoqi had no room for resistance, so he could only lead the way obediently and go out of the city with the deputy Qianhu Lord.

Several craftsmen who have been used as a backdrop board and Liu Shi were also pulled together, Meng Xiaoqi was resolute, and everyone received the "credit" together, and it was even more so to accompany the leaders to inspect!

Walking out of the Thousand Households, the group went straight to the city gate.

Deputy Shen Qianhu had a horse to walk, and Meng and Liu followed behind the horse's tail and ate a stomach of ashes. Looking at the tall horse in front of him and Shen Deputy Qianhu on the horse, Meng Shishilang slandered in his heart, it was not without reason for the toiling masses to hold high the banner of anti-feudalism.

Walking to the bottom of the mountain, looking up and vaguely seeing the corner of the earthen fort, when he reached the top of the mountain, Deputy Shen Qianhu walked directly into the fort, looked up and down, and showed a surprised look.

Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even if it was a semi-tofu scum project, he could handle it anyway.

Before he could finish in one breath, Shen Deputy Qianhu suddenly spoke.

"Meng Xiaoqi."

"Mark it in."

"You have meritorious service in building this fort, and it will be promoted to the general flag on the same day, and it will be reported to the commander, and all those who build the fort will have other favors."

Meng blinked, he is, promoted?

"Report to the deputy thousand households, build this fort, the same material and manpower, and Ma Zongqi will also take care of it."

Shen Xuan nodded, not saying it explicitly, but when the reward is issued, there will definitely be no one missing Ma Chang.

As for whether Ma Zongqi really contributed to this...... The horsewhip was held in the palm of his hand, and Deputy Shen Qianhu knew it in his heart.

Standing among the soldiers, the former Muku Shiro regretted again, saw the stitches, turned the tide, turned the disadvantage into an advantage, and waited for these words to come out, no matter how unwilling he was, Ma Zongqi was not good at will to find Xiaoqi, no, the trouble of Zongqi.

What a good civil official seedling, it's a pity!
