Liao and Liu muttered quietly and reached a political compromise. Zhu Pingjin saw He Youyi, who was wearing guard armor in the distance, sent him the agreed signal:

His eight-petal helmet was replaced by a cluster of blue helmet cherry blossoms.

Succeed with flying colors! The Qin descendants succeeded.

Now that he has succeeded, the copy of the impeachment chapter will soon be delivered as soon as possible. Judging by his expressions, the top officials of the two systems of military administration and supervision in Sichuan also reached an agreement. In this way, there is great hope for the legalization of the caravan.

The legalization of the caravan would be tantamount to opening a gap in the feudal ban. With this gap, many shady things can be brought to the fore.

The palace can openly recruit cadres without concealment;

The new army can continue to expand without having to be sneaky;

The village guards can be transformed into caravans at any time to go out to fight, and they don't have to be limited to one village and one land.

The royal institutions and officials went out on tasks and dealt with the local government and the garrison, so they had a reason and identity.

Even in the future, there will be a reasonable excuse for setting up a card to collect taxes jointly with the government.

It's just that it's not easy to do that. Without the emperor's approval, Liu Zhibo may not endorse Zhu Pingjin or Liao Daheng when Chen Shiqi impeached him first.

Emperor Chongzhen has a strong personality, a good face, and is very suspicious. It should be difficult to fool him. There are also those courtiers, all of whom are old ghosts in officialdom, and they are one in a million. In particular, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant who is rumored to be reinstated, is still the champion and the first, and is inextricably linked with the Donglin Party, which represents the interests of the southeastern gentry. To ensure the approval of the imperial court, Liao Daheng and Liu Zhibo's concerts are written seamlessly, but the key is how to create a big situation in Sichuan, so that the imperial court will not approve it!

"Duke Liao, Lord Liu, this son of the world knows that the two adults are incorruptible. Since the thieves entered Sichuan last year, the treasury has also been empty. A soldier must not go a day without food, and an army must not go a day without pay. The palace money village minted a batch of money a few days ago, and today it is just used to reward the three armies! ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Pingjin has changed from a rich N generation to a good classmate who is knowledgeable.

In ancient times, the money was spent by the people themselves, and it was the festive money, auspicious money, and evil money minted by the people themselves, which was roughly equivalent to today's commemorative coins, not the legal circulation currency of the imperial court, that is, the money.

Because it is not a money-making system, the quality of spending money is good and bad, and people can play many tricks in spending money. The style of spending money is eclectic, and the patterns are complex and different, but most of them are festive and auspicious words such as "longevity and wealth", "adding officials to the knighthood", and "a hundred years of good cooperation". Spending money existed as early as the Han Dynasty, and there were so many styles of spending money in all dynasties that any numismatic expert couldn't tell. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, where Zhu Pingjin unfortunately lived, even if the country was not Thai and the people were uneasy, private casting and spending money was still popular among the people.

No matter what kind of money, as long as it is money, Liao Daheng is very interested. Even Liu Zhibo was attracted by the topic of Zhu Pingjin and turned his head to make fun.

"Oh? The money spent by the royal mansion, why not let the old man see it? ”

Zhu Pingjin spread out his palm in a trick, and a shiny silver dollar appeared in the palm of his hand.

It turned out to be silver money!

Liao Daheng twisted the silver dollar with two fingers and tilted his head to look at the daylight. He was a little proud of himself once again. This kid in front of him has a lot of ghosts! If you dare to offer treasure here, it must not be an ordinary thing!

"Seventy into five silver, exactly one or two!" Zhu Pingjin conjured another one from his palm and handed it to Liu Zhibo.

"The mother concubine said, this son asked to manage the affairs of the Shu King according to the ancestral system, and there should be a commemoration. I wanted to wait for the edict of the imperial court to come down before it was issued, but this morning I was invited by Duke Liao, and I left the house in a hurry, and I didn't have time to prepare, so I had to ask people to take a bag of this thing to reward the soldiers! ”

The silver money was heavy in his hand, and it was very generous.

"Beautiful!" Liao Daheng touched the silver and spent money, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

There is a portrait in the middle of the front of the silver money, and there is a circle of dragons and flying phoenixes outside the statue. There is a "Shu" word in the middle of the back, and there is a circle of text around the edge.

Liao Daheng asked Zhu Pingjin: "Why is there a circle of indentations on the side of the silver coin?" ”。

"It's embossing. I did the embossing, but I could prevent the traitor from being frustrated and the quality from being broken! ”

"The prince is extremely thoughtful!" Liao Tycoon still can't put it down.

The sun shines directly, and the white light reflected on the silver dollar is dazzling.

Liu Zhibo narrowed his eyes, took the silver dollar and looked at it carefully, and there were words in his mouth: "The words on the back of this are the ...... to protect the country and the people."

"On the back is the words 'protect the country and the people, and the world is peaceful'. Master Shu's handwriting! Zhu Pingjin read it out for Liu Zhibo.

"That's a well-written word! The statement is also appropriate! ”

Liu Zhibo was angry, and read those eight words upside down a few times, and couldn't help but admire again and again.

"The positive portrait is ......," Liu Zhibo asked again.

This time, Liao Daheng was surprised: "This is the true face of Emperor Gao, the ancestor of my Ming Dynasty!" Don't you think it's like that? ”

"Like! It's like! Liu Zhibo hurriedly replied.

Liu Zhibo lied. He has never entered the Jingshi Taimiao, where does he know what Taizu really looks like. But in front of everyone, how can he admit it?

"Nature is like!" Zhu Pingjin said with a smile, "Compared with the portrait of Taizu in the Wangfu Temple, how can it not be like it!" Every few days, this prince will also ask the painter to paint a larger one according to the portrait of the Taizu and hang it on the tower of the Duanli Gate. At least two zhang high, one zhang five wide, framed in gilt wood. Hang it high so that people can see it from a distance......"

"Good! This not only shows the majesty of the heavenly family, but also shows the loyalty and filial piety of the son! Liu Zhibo high-fived and praised, but he was a little worried: "But is it too much?" ”

"Good steel should be used on the edge of the knife! It's worth the money! If you can deter Xiaoxiao, dissolve people's hearts, and bring peace to my Shu for three or five years, the money will be well spent! ”

"The prince is far-sighted, and the lower officials have been taught." Liu Zhibo immediately surrendered.

He was sincere this time. As for Chen Shiqi's impeachment, he forgot about it for the time being.

"Since the middle is the true face of Taizu, then this circle of dragons and phoenixes must be an allusion to Emperor Taizu and Empress Ma." Liao Daheng confidently guessed.

Zhu Pingjin did not answer Liao's speculation. He said to Liao and Liu: "When the angel brings the holy decree, Liao Fu and Lord Liu will take some and reward them to the officials below, so as to show that the palace and the officials and people of Shu are celebrating together!" ”

Without waiting for Liu Zhibo to refuse, Liao Daheng had quickly said on behalf of the Sichuan officials that the emperor's edict to allow the prince to manage the affairs of the Shu king's mansion according to the ancestral system was a great joy for Shu, and a grand celebration ceremony should be held. Silver money is best spent on the grand ceremony to show the grace of the vassal.

He also added that the prince was killed in mid-May, and he must have been sent to Beijing more than ten days ago. At that time, he personally sent a person in the yamen to deliver books, and also sent more than a dozen elite soldiers to escort him. One person and two horses, a thousand miles and a journey, at the latest a month and a half will be in Beijing. Now that the imperial court has withdrawn the post station on the avenue, remote places like Sichuan will be miserable. People can't rest, horses can't change ......"

Today, Liao Daheng complained in front of Liu Zhibo, called out the results, and also called out the benefits, so he couldn't help but start calling again.

Zhu Pingjin had to interrupt him, and the soldier stood under the scorching sun, and half an hour was the limit.

Zhu Pingjin reminded him: "Liao Gong! Can you ask Liao Gong to give instructions to the soldiers, and then reward the money? ”

Liao Daheng reacted. His eyes purred, and he stared at Liu Zhibo: "It's rare for Lord Liu to come to proofread!" Lord Liu went out on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and Lord Liu arrived, like the Son of Heaven in person! Why don't you ask Lord Liu to say a few words for the soldiers? ”

Liu Zhibo just wanted to accept it, but when he saw Chen Youfu and Luo Jingyun in front of the team, he quickly dispelled the idea of speaking.

"Since the caravan is a volunteer soldier formed by the prince and the gentry to recruit and donate money, it should be up to the prince to speak!"

"Two adults......"

"Let's ask the prince to speak!"

The scene is enough, and Zhu Pingjin no longer needs to pretend to excuse himself.

He straightened up and bowed his hands to Liao and Liu Zhibo. Immediately, he flicked his horse's head, carried his own flag, and ran back and forth in front of the platoon of the third battalion queue.

……

Zhu Pingjin stood on his war horse, waving his palms vigorously, loudly encouraging the young soldiers.

"You went to northern Sichuan this time, and it was extremely glorious!"

"The people of northern Sichuan have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time!"

"Their grain seeds were robbed by the local tyrants; their sister daughter, insulted by the thugs; The homeland where they have lived for generations is occupied by the thugs! ”

"They have no land, no house, no clothing, no food! They see you as saviors, they see you as children, and they see you as the last hope to defeat the tyrants and regain a peaceful life! ”

The company commanders of each company and several officers gathered near Zhu Pingjin, and they were responsible for transmitting every sentence of Zhu Pingjin back to the company in turn, and telling it to every soldier.

"You are liberators! You are the vanguard of the Protectorate! ”

"Let your words and actions, let your great military exploits, tell every people in northern Sichuan: they have not been abandoned by the Ming Dynasty! Not abandoned by the Shu Palace! Not abandoned by the son of this world! And you guys! It's their strongest force! ”

"The people who are coerced by the local tyrants should be given a chance to change their ways! But to those bandits who have lost their conscience, committed heinous crimes, and died without repentance......"

Zhu Pingjin pulled out his saber, allowing the shiny knife surface to reflect the sunlight. "The only way to kill them all! No toleration! ”

"Kill them all! No toleration! ”

"God bless me! Long live the Ming Dynasty! The caravan is mighty! ”

"God bless the Ming! Banzai! Mighty! ”

After Zhu Pingjin finished speaking, amid the continuous cheers of the soldiers, he raised his sword and ran back and forth again in a dashing manner.

Whether it was the people around them, or Liao Daheng and Liu Zhibo, who were at the center of the sound, they all felt a strong shock like never before.

……

In this wave of cheers, Liu Zhibo blinked his moist eyes lightly. Looking at everything in front of him, he suddenly remembered a poem he had read when he was young, which Du Fu wrote when he was young:

"The rain throws gold chain mail, and the moss lies on the green gun."

Liu Zhibo was intoxicated by Du Shi's artistic conception, and did not pay attention to the sluggish face of Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan beside him.

"Fifteen volunteers, five years to set two capitals.

When did the thieves capture and bring peace to the four seas? (Note 1)"

The world is in turmoil, and heroes will inevitably emerge! Liao Daheng sighed in his heart, does the contemptible person want to bet his life on this?

Thinking of this, he hesitated again.

Just these hundreds of people, even if they are magnified ten times and hundreds of times, they are still far from the position of the Jingshi!

According to the results of the discussion with Brother Liu, let's wait and see. The most important thing at the moment is to bring this Liu Zhibo over and solve the old thief Chen Shiqi!

……

The prince of Shu and several adults have already walked away with their guards. The tall military master also led his army, beating war drums and singing military songs, and set off north.

It was noon, and the sun was blazing.

The onlookers gradually dispersed, and the girl from Tianxianglou's top brand was still standing in place, looking at the back of the prince leaving.
