After seeing the power of the artillery, we looked at the firing of the flintlock pistol.

After a few rounds of shooting, Xie Zhi said triumphantly: "Your Majesty, the increase in the range of this flintlock pistol is only one aspect, the most important thing is that the cancellation of the arquebus structure will greatly improve the effectiveness in actual combat." ”

Although this flintlock pistol does not yet have continuous fire, it is much more convenient than the arquebus structure.

Emperor Hongzhi saw it with his own eyes, and it was more intuitive than sitting in the deep palace and looking at a few folds.

Since seeing the power of the artillery, Emperor Hongzhi was quite satisfied, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Since you have come up, go to the academy to have a look..."

In the Two Wolf Mountain Academy, Cheng Minzheng is taking more than 50 scholars to analyze the policy questions of this year's Spring Brigade.

After all, these scholars are preparing for the next Spring Festival, so naturally they need to train more in terms of policy theory.

Cheng Minzheng, who was walking back and forth in front of the examination table of more than fifty people, was taken aback when he saw Emperor Hongzhi standing at the door, and then walked out quickly.

Walking to Emperor Hongzhi's side, just about to salute, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Don't be polite, I don't have to be too loud." ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi stopped it, Cheng Minzheng did not insist on it anymore.

Emperor Hongzhi then asked, "Can these scholars have hope for high school in the spring next year?" ”

Cheng Minzheng replied truthfully: "There are more than a dozen people, it should be about the same. ”

Cheng Minzheng was born as a scholar, and he has also done the main exam, so he is more or less sure of this judgment.

However, the figure Cheng Minzheng said is still a bit conservative, at least in Xie Zhi's opinion.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said gently: "There are only more than fifty people in the Two Wolf Mountain Academy, and it is really not easy if there are really more than a dozen people in high school." ”

After chatting a few words, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the previous strategies made by these scholars before leaving the academy.

After leaving the academy, Emperor Hongzhi said: "I was going to take a look in the clouds by myself, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the tea shop, let's go, and then go to other places." ”

Xie Zhi, who is now under the rule of Yunzhong, is still very relieved, Emperor Hongzhi said that he was going to go around again, but he was not worried, and asked: "I don't know Your Majesty, where are you going?" ”

This question has to be asked clearly, otherwise, I think Xie Zhi specially picked a good place to go over.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Hongzhi did not give a specific point, and replied: "Go first.."

As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiao Jing on the side and said, "Tell the guards to go farther, don't follow too close..."

If the distance is too far, Emperor Hongzhi will not be able to react quickly if there is something here.

Xiao Jing was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was so determined, he had to respond.

After Xiao Jing arranged according to the order, Emperor Hongzhi instructed Xie Zhi again: "Send your people away." ”

Although Xie Zhi was confident in the changes in the clouds, he did not dare to guarantee that no thief would know the whereabouts of Emperor Hongzhi and do something to assassinate him.

If Emperor Hongzhi has three long and two short in the clouds, Xie Zhi can't afford to bear it.

Xie Zhi was full of embarrassment and persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's send the officials to follow, the guards have also been withdrawn, if there are no more officials..."

Since Emperor Hongzhi came out, he just wanted to see the situation in the clouds clearly, and he didn't want to take the official mansion to swagger through the market, so he put on a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Is it because you don't believe in the security in the clouds, or because you are not confident in yourself, if there is really a danger, you can't bear the safety of Gu Zhen and Xie Qing?" ”

Can this risk be taken?

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated and was a little embarrassed, but Xie Qian said: "Listen to Your Majesty's will and send the people from the Yamen!" ”

With his father's words, Xie Zhi was also relieved.

With his own father taking on this responsibility with him, he can be regarded as having some confidence, and replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Then, he casually shouted to Li Jia, who was more than a dozen steps away: "Wait and go back to the ya, there is no need for you to follow here in this county..."

Li Jia didn't know the identity of Emperor Hongzhi either, and he didn't have anything to worry about Xie Zhi's wandering around the county, so he immediately took the order and left.

In the absence of the accompanying team, only Xie Qian's father and son, Emperor Hongzhi and Xiao Jing remained, and a few simple people were more like merchants who came to Yunzhong to investigate.

It was Emperor Hongzhi who wanted to see the changes in the clouds with his own eyes, and where to go, it had to be Emperor Hongzhi's final say.

Emperor Hongzhi followed the official road all the way south, and Xie Zhi and others followed.

Today, Xie Zhi is afraid that he has walked the most day since Yunzhong took office, and he is about to spare the entire Yunzhong.

Winter is approaching, and there is nothing to do in the fields, and there are few pedestrians to be found along the way.

"Your Majesty, the pottery workshop and the oil mill can recruit a lot of people, and when there is no work in winter, the people can also go there to work and earn some silver, and with the silver, they will be able to live more comfortably..."

Xie Zhi made an introduction as he walked along the way.

Before walking to a wine shop in the north of the city, there were many onlookers at the door.

The road was peaceful, Xie Zhi thought that everything was over, and he had walked a lot, and Emperor Hongzhi was almost tired of walking, so he took it back for a meal, and the matter was solved, but he didn't expect that there would be such a situation when he was coming...

In such a situation, Xie Zhi is also a county magistrate, and in front of Emperor Hongzhi, it seems a little inappropriate not to come forward to solve it...

Xie Zhi smiled awkwardly at Emperor Hongzhi and replied, "Go and take a look..."

Xie Zhi wanted to take a clear look, and Emperor Hongzhi naturally wanted to follow.

Xiao Jingpao pulled away from the crowd of onlookers, and several people squeezed in.

After squeezing in, Xie Zhi saw the general situation of so many onlookers.

There is a flat pole next to one person, and some tofu brains are placed next to him.

The other person is with his hands on his hips, snorting angrily...

"What's going on?" Xie Zhi asked.

The depressed face of the man with the forked waist didn't have a good impression of Xie Zhi, and said fiercely: "What's your business?" ”

What's more, Xie Zhizhong has been in Yunzhong for a few months, and I didn't find that there is such a folk custom here.

In front of the emperor and his father, can you give some face?

Instead, he grabbed the man with some eyes, glanced up, and then got up and exclaimed, "The county master? ”

Does anyone still know him? It's not all a bad person!

Xie Zhi straightened his waist and replied, "Exactly, a certain Xie Zhi." ”

In an instant, a large number of onlookers, those concerned, knelt down.

Xie Zhi coughed, glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Get up first." ”

After the group got up, Xie Zhi asked, "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it! ”

The man with the crossed waist was still frowning coldly at first, and scolded Xie Zhi for foul language, but now he was smiling, and said with a smile to Xie Zhi: "Master Zhixian, the villain really doesn't know..."

Xie Zhi raised his head and interrupted this person's apology, what Xie Zhi needed was to solve the problem, not this apology.

"Just say it!"

The man smiled embarrassedly, his smile did not decrease, and replied: "Villain Li Xiong, running this tea shop, small business, villain doesn't feel that winter is coming, I want to buy two Cao tofu to make tofu, where did I think, what he sent became tofu brains, villains small business, so many tofu brains, how can the villain sell them..."

The man with the flat pole drooped his head and did not deny it.

It seems that what Li Xiong said is true.

Despite this, Xie Zhi still asked the man, "Is what Shopkeeper Li said true..."

The man frowned, and replied: "I don't know if the county master still remembers the villain, the tofu when the county master was eating in Xuezhuang was the villain's responsibility, the villain Zhang Quan, the people who booked tofu with the villain before were all word of mouth, and the shopkeeper Li had to do some letters this time... The villain is also illiterate, and mistakenly turned tofu into tofu brain...

The villain thought that the shopkeeper Li had a wine store anyway, and if he collected a part, the villain's loss would not be too big, but unfortunately the shopkeeper Li didn't agree to live or die... also asked the villain to return all the deposits... The villain's money is used to buy beans, how can there be money..."

The reason Xie Zhi figured it out.

The key to this matter is Zhang Quan's negligence, and you can't make a mistake about someone's goods just because they changed the ordering method.

However, what is the specific, you have to look at the evidence to speak, and you can't end the case because of the two of them's one-glance justification.

"Where's the letter?"

Zhang Quan took out Zou Zoubaba's letter from his arms.

Xie Zhi unfolded, what was written on it was really clear, two Cao tofu.

You can get it wrong in just four words.

Xie Zhi returned the letter and said to Li Xiong: "You really can't want this tofu brain?" ”

Li Xiong probably looked at Xie Zhi's face, and replied: "The villain can only serve thirty bowls at most, which is also the biggest limit..."

Li Xiong's wine shop is not big, and so many tofu brains really can't be sold.

This one is also stupid, Li Xiong's wine shop can have so many tofu brains.

Xie Zhi can't take advantage of the privilege to make it difficult, right?

Xie Zhi waved his hand and said simply: "Send these to the county government and go to the yamen silver." ”

It's just a matter of a few taels of silver, and Xie Zhi can afford it.

Besides, the officials of the yamen can also consume these tofu brains, and they will not waste them.
