Chapter 769: Two taels of silver

In the moment before fainting, Li Zicheng took a deep breath, barely suppressed the rising qi and blood, and in a daze, he suddenly remembered that he had no grudge against his former teacher, Guo Yong had come to Daming with him, became Guo Shijun, and was worrying about the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion in Sichuan.

Li Zicheng's spirit is fluttering, as if returning to the afterlife, back to the former school......

His mind was foggy, his eyes didn't seem to open, only a little of his mind was desperately fighting, and when he saw that he was about to lose consciousness, he coughed, and all the distractions were removed.

In the moment just now, Li Zicheng seemed to experience the feeling when he crossed over, and the Yuan Shen wandered for a week, and finally came back...... He didn't know if he had a new time crossing, or returned to his original world, he really couldn't tell whether he resisted or complied, but a cough just now suddenly dissolved this feeling.

Maybe it's subconsciously, I'm more willing to stay in this era, right? After a few years of hard work, you can pick the last fruits!

Li Zicheng secretly debugged, and pressed all the rising qi and blood into his chest, and his eyes, which were originally a little foggy, gradually became clearer, and Zhang Dingyan also showed a clear face, but he no longer had the intention of persuading Zhang Dingyan to speak at length, and a cold smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

"Director Zhang, in a word, join the Mandate of Heaven Army, do you want to do it?"

"!" Zhang Dingyan didn't know what happened to Li Zicheng, he just saw a trace of weirdness from Li Zicheng's body, there seemed to be a powerful primordial spirit, squeezing him, pressing him almost breathlessly, if Li Zicheng hadn't lifted this oppression, he would have almost screamed.

It's just that I don't understand, what tricks Li Zicheng has revealed, why does he have a feeling of oppression, is this the so-called noble atmosphere?

Originally, I wanted to be reserved, at least to let the world understand that he, Zhang Dingyan, defected to the Mandate of Heaven Army, not greedy for life and fear of death, chasing fame and fortune, but had a last resort, but when Li Zicheng asked directly, he almost blurted out!

What is the origin of this Li Zicheng? Why was he eaten to death? I was born as an official eunuch, so let the world see jokes?

Li Zicheng didn't look at his jokes, but just smiled faintly: "Director Zhang, Governor Bendu just said, Governor Bendu is here to treat Director Zhang's heart disease, how is it now, has the heart disease been removed?" ”

"Remove, remove," Zhang Dingyan seemed to feel that he was not getting rid of his heart disease, but just like a bride who had just entered the cave room, he let go of yesterday's reserve, "The villain will serve the governor of Dadu from now on......"

"Director Zhang has served in the court, and his status is noble," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The small Yongning County naturally can't accommodate Director Zhang, your appointment, let's talk about it in a few days, for the time being, first assist Wu Dalie to distribute disaster relief food to the people, Director Zhang has a very high prestige in the local area, such a thing should be brought forward by Director Zhang!" ”

"The Governor wants to give food to the people?" Zhang Dingyan's eyes flickered a little, "Metropolitan Governor, isn't the Heavenly Mandate Army a rogue ......?"

"You squires, you must be worried, aren't you?" Li Zicheng smiled and said: "I don't want your belongings, except for land!" ”

"Land?" Zhang Dingyan was puzzled, "Henan has been in drought for many years, and crops will not grow on the land for a while and a half......"

"The Mandate of Heaven Army is not short of food!" Li Zicheng knew in his heart that when he came to Yongning County, the army still had 20,000 stone of grain left, and nearly 100,000 stone of grain was confiscated in the Wan'an Palace, Yongning, which was enough for 30,000 people to eat for a year.

However, the Mandate of Heaven Army specializes in robbing the palace, so don't talk about it for the time being, just make a fortune in silence, otherwise......

Zhang Dingyan said cautiously: "Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven Army is really like the soldiers advertise, specifically for the poor people in the world......

"Wrong, the Mandate of Heaven Army is for the people of the world, of course, the gentry also belong to the people, so you don't have to worry," Li Zicheng smiled faintly, secretly adjusted his blood again, feeling fine, and said: "However, I will confiscate all the land and then redistribute it to all the people." ”

"This ......" Zhang Dingyan was shocked in his heart, he had read the book of sages, and understood in his heart that only at the beginning of each dynasty, the land would be a round of reshuffle, could it be that the Mandate of Heaven Army was not for food, but for the world?

"The gentry can get rich," Li Zicheng said: "But the premise of making a fortune is that all the people must be able to eat enough, and only when the people are comfortable, the gentry will have a chance to get rich!" ”

Zhang's mansion has a lot of land, although he joined the Mandate of Heaven Army, but he is still a little distressed about the land that is about to be lost, which is what the Zhang family has accumulated for several lifetimes, "However, without a lot of land, how can the gentry get rich......

"You don't understand this," Li Zicheng said: "In the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, it is not by land to make a fortune, and if you have the opportunity to go to Xining and Lanzhou in the future, you will understand, the Tianming Army has just entered Henan, coupled with the drought in Henan, now you can only let all the people have enough to eat, and in the future, they will also take the road of Xining and Lanzhou......"

When Li Zicheng left, Zhang Dingyan still didn't understand it, but he already knew that if the Mandate of Heaven Army was determined to be in the world, as an official of the previous dynasty, it would be the best result for him to only lose the land and save his family and his family's property.

He had already joined the Mandate of Heaven Army, and once Li Zicheng succeeded, he was still a minister of the dragon......

Li Zicheng left Zhang's Mansion and did not return directly to the Wan'an Palace, but scattered his own soldiers to see the order in the city.

Not everyone in the city needs disaster relief, but only those who are about to run out of cooking are eligible to go to the disaster relief site to receive food distributed by the Mandate of Heaven Army.

In order to prevent fraudulent claims, the city was divided into several areas, each of which had a disaster relief point, which was supervised by local acquaintances, and the people could only go to the area where they were located to receive relief food.

Li Zicheng took He Xiaomi and several personal soldiers to a disaster relief point in Nancheng, and stood under the eaves to watch from afar.

The people lined up to receive the relief grain, and the county officials who distributed the grain prepared a large number of bags, each bag of ten catties, when the people approached, the officials first registered the names of the people, and then handed over a bag full of grain, and the people took the grain and left, without delaying the time at all.

Li Zicheng smiled secretly in his heart, this Wu Dalie is really a talent, and it is a shame that he came up with this method, which greatly saved the time for distributing disaster relief food.

The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven were patrolling in the distance, and the disaster relief site was in good order, and Li Zicheng was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a shout, and looked up, it turned out that there was a conflict between the disaster relief officials and the people receiving food.

The two sides did not reach the point of fighting, Li Zicheng did not go over, just watched from a distance, but the soldiers patrolling the street were alarmed, and when they came forward to ask, it turned out to be the fault of the people, he had already received the relief food yesterday, and today he stood in the line and wanted to receive it again, but was discovered by the disaster relief officials.

The soldier patrolling the street kicked the people, "The Metropolitan Governor is sympathetic to the people, how dare you live up to the Metropolitan Governor's kindness?" If you don't get out of the way, I'll get you in prison! ”

The people didn't dare to resist, but pleaded with the soldiers, "It's really that there are too many people in the family, and the military master is doing well......"

"It's your business if you have a large population, ten catties of grain per household, not a little more!" The soldiers ignored it and drove the people away, "It's not impossible to want more food!" ”

The man was already disappointed, but when he heard the soldier's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Master Jun, what is the solution?" The villain must listen to the military master's ......"

Li Zicheng's heart moved, could it be that this soldier wants to bend the law for personal gain? He unconsciously leaned under the eaves, hiding his tracks.

"If you want more food, there is only one way," the soldier stretched out the rifle in his hand and said: "As a soldier, the Metropolitan Governor has always been sympathetic to soldiers, if you let the strong men in your family join the Heavenly Mandate Army, you will not only get food, but also military salaries, and if you make meritorious service, you will also get an additional reward!" ”

"What the military master said is the truth?"

"Of course it's true, have the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven ever deceived the people?" The soldier raised his neck and said, "It's just that the recruitment of soldiers in the city has ended, and I don't know when it will be next time!" ”

The man shook his head in disappointment, looked back at the relief food being distributed, and reluctantly left.

Li Zicheng is thoughtful, Henan is in a drought, the people are struggling on the death line, being a soldier is indeed a way to solve the problem of food and clothing, if the imperial court cannot recruit a large number of soldiers, they will join the Liukou!

In order to survive, the usually timid and fearful people, once they become outlaws, will be keen to plunder, not madness, but venting their previous grievances together.

Li Zicheng saw that order had been restored to the disaster relief site and was about to leave, but he did not expect that the disaster relief site was in chaos again, and there was no need to look at it, and there was a conflict between the disaster relief officials and the people receiving food.

"Second leper, your family's grain can at least eat until the summer grain is ripe, and you don't belong to the scope of disaster relief!"

"Who said I have a lot of food in my house? Did you see that? If you don't give Lao Tzu food and make trouble with the county government, Lao Tzu won't spare you......"

"You ......"

"This is to distribute food to the people, is Lao Tzu a common man? You bully Lao Tzu and don't know the market? ”

"Hurry up, the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven are coming, and you won't be able to eat and walk around when the time comes......"

"Lao Tzu wants to see, who dares not to give Lao Tzu food?" The second leper had a fierce gaze, and he was about to rob it, and the officials who distributed the relief food were obviously a little jealous of him, so he stopped the work at hand.

Li Zicheng swept his eyes and saw that the people in line were anxious, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they already understood a little in their hearts.

The Mandate of Heaven Army provides disaster relief to the people, that is to save lives, and whoever wants to insult the sympathy of the Mandate of Heaven Army is to insult their own intelligence!

Li Zicheng remained silent, approached the disaster relief team, pointed at the second leper with his hand, and said, "Your name is the second leper?" Why are you here to make trouble? ”

"Who said Lao Tzu was making trouble?" The second leper turned around and glared at him, but when he saw the armor on Li Zicheng's body, his arrogance suddenly went out a little, but he was still unconvinced, "This military master, since the Heavenly Mandate Army has set up a disaster relief point here, old ...... The villain belongs to the people, so why not let the villain receive food? ”

The official who distributed the grain didn't know Li Zicheng, so he hurriedly explained: "Master Jun, the second leper has a solid family background and is not ......."

Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to stop, but he looked at the second leper, "He is right, the Mandate of Heaven Army has set up a disaster relief point here, which is to provide disaster relief to the people who have interrupted their cooking, and your family is also about to run out of cooking?" ”

The second leper is still hard-mouthed, "My family...... Naturally, I'm going to run out of cooking......"

"Very good, I will immediately send someone to your house to search, if what you say is true, I will not only give you disaster relief food, but also punish him," he pointed to the official who distributed the disaster relief food with his hand, and said: "If you deceive the Mandate of Heaven Army and fraudulently receive disaster relief food for life-saving, I will not spare it, and I will confiscate your family's food stock, I will confiscate ......"

"This ...... Who cares about this bit of relief food......" The second leper saw that the situation was not right, and he said that he was leaving.

Li Zicheng made a look, He Xiaoxiao stepped forward quickly and stopped the two lepers, "The Mandate of Heaven Army is for disaster relief, you dare to mess around here?" Now it's been debunked, and I want to run away......"

When the second leper saw He Xiaomi's hand pressing the handle of the knife, he was immediately deflated, bent his knees, and fell to the ground, "Master Jun, the villain knows that he is wrong...... Spare the villain for a while, the villain will never dare again......"

Sure enough, it's a Rippy!

Such a character has always been mercenary and has no moral bottom line, Li Zicheng naturally will not be as knowledgeable as this kind of person, thought for a moment, and said: "Since you know how to repent, I will not confiscate your family property, from now on, for three days in a row, follow the soldiers, beat gongs and drums, and confess their sins along the street!" ”

"You ......"

He Xiaomi pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "The words of the Grand Governor, do you dare not listen to them, are you looking for death?" ”

When the second leper heard that he was the governor of the capital, he knew that he had hit the iron plate, so he hurriedly pleaded guilty to Li Zicheng, kowtowing like pounding onions, "The villain deserves to die, the villain admits punishment......"

Li Zicheng asked his own soldiers to escort the two lepers down and hand them over to the soldiers patrolling the city.

The official who distributed the relief food didn't know Li Zicheng originally, but only then did he know that the Metropolitan Governor was patrolling the microservice, and he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The villain knocked on the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

The people saw everything that happened in front of them, the two lepers made trouble, affecting the distribution of disaster relief food by the Mandate of Heaven Army, although they were so anxious that their hearts were itching, but they were afraid that the two lepers had always been domineering, and they did not dare to stand up, and the Mandate of Heaven Army was this general, and the two lepers were escorted down in a few words, which was really happy......

The people were still whispering, and even guessing what kind of punishment the two lepers would receive, until they saw the officials who distributed the grain kneeling on the ground, and they realized that they had met the Grand Governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army!

They are just the people, and they are the easiest to conform to the crowd, and when they see the officials bowing, they are busy worshipping to the ground one by one.

Li Zicheng looked at the back of his head in front of him, and hurriedly asked them to get up, this is almost new yuan, and it is important to distribute food.

"Thank you, Grand Duke!"

After everyone got up, they all read the good of the Metropolitan Governor and the Heavenly Mandate Army, they were all grateful, bowing, pretentious, and affectionate words, and simply regarded Li Zicheng as the Lord of the Buddha, Li Zicheng waved his hand, and asked the official who had just quarreled with the second leper to come over, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Be loyal to your duties, this is the official of the Heavenly Mandate Army." ”

"The villain just did what he had to do......"

Li Zicheng bowed slightly, and asked He Xiaomi to take out two taels of silver, "Although your position is not high, you can be loyal to your duties, and it is worthy of all the officials of the Heavenly Mandate Army to study carefully, these two taels of silver are a reward for you!" ”

"This ......" The official was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, villain!" ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand, asked him to get up, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and distribute relief food, the people are still waiting to go home for New Yuan!" ”
