Chapter Forty-Six: Receiving the Confession

Tomorrow will be the same again, after everyone got up in the morning, they smelled the porridge made by the women organized by He Ping, and Xiao Yi asked Huang Yang to take his subordinates to Changning Town to buy some meat, although there were very few bowls distributed to everyone, but the people were grateful with tears in their eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiao Yi looked at the grateful people, and felt a little unbearable. You see, these people, are they demanding? All you need to eat is enough, and if you can protect them well, they will be grateful to you, how can they have a heart of resistance.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly Shi Lu's voice came, "My lord, I should go and get my body today!" ”

Xiao Yi slapped his head, he almost forgot, these days he was busy building the city, and the time to receive the farewell had been a day, that is, he handed over all the affairs here to Huang Yang to deal with, Liu Tong also stayed here, and Xiao Yi immediately took Wang Dayong, Shi Lu, and Shi Gang to Changning Town.

When they arrived in Changning Town, Xiao Yi and the others went straight to Wang Changliang without stopping. Just arrived at the door, but the little school in front of the door reminded, "Why did Mr. Xiao come, my lord was a little angry yesterday, let's go in quickly!" ”

Xiao Yi nodded gratefully, he was the first to enter, and after entering, he saw Wang Changliang sitting in the hall, after Xiao Yi saluted again, Wang Changliang did not have the previous smile, just waved his hand lazily, "Tell yourself on that table, lead it and leave." "I don't know if Xiao Yi provoked him when he asked for military households and things a few days ago, or because he couldn't get the complaint in time yesterday.

Suddenly, Li Zhen, the team officer, passed through the lobby and said in a strange manner, "It turned out to be Mr. Xiao, but he came to receive the confession?" Why didn't you come yesterday? ”

Xiao Yi said with some shame, "There was some trouble in building the fort yesterday, and I hope the two adults will not blame it." Liu Zhen opened his mouth as he walked, "Don't be angry, it's just that in a few days, Lord Deputy Qianhu will come, you have to build the fort quickly, don't blame me if it hasn't been built yet." ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Wang Changliang opened his mouth at this time, "Xiao Yi, I was about to mention this matter to you, after the twelfth day, Lord Qi Deputy Qianhu will come to inspect, and then you will have a shape even if you can't finish it." ”

Xiao also knew that Shangguan would come to inspect, but he never thought that it would come so quickly, looking at Wang Changliang's appearance, he estimated that he would not finish the construction on time, so he reminded him. Xiao Yi nodded, "Don't worry, Xiao Yi will definitely complete it within the deadline." ”

Wang Changliang was also a little surprised when he saw that Xiao was so confident, waved his hand, and said, "Take these and go back first, and build it quickly." Finally, I don't forget to give a word of advice.

After Xiao Yi said goodbye, Wang Changliang muttered, "I don't think this Xiao Yi is as unbearable as Li You said, how can he say that?" With that, he shook his head, and went into the house, pondering.

This Qi Kui is one of the three deputy thousand households in Peach Blossom Castle, and he is also a scrivener, in charge of all matters related to the construction of the fort in Tuntian, and he is the top boss for Wang Changliang and the three of them. The Ming Dynasty stipulates that the construction of the fort needs to be inspected by the scrivener within 20 days, and if it is qualified, it can be reported to the Tunbao at that time, and if it is not qualified, it needs to be dotted with money, if there is no money, it will be difficult to do.

Before the Ming Dynasty, most of the Tunbao officials were supposed to help each other, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone was sweeping the snow in front of the door, so how could they care about the frost on the tiles of others. After a long time, there are fewer and fewer people who volunteer to fort, and it is simply a self-seeking unpleasant job.

Xiao Yi is in the middle of this list, and there is no money to pay for, and the time to build the fort may not be in time. Xiao Yi was very anxious, but when Xiao Yi changed into a brand-new general flag official uniform, threw away the tattered cloth shoes that had always been under his feet, replaced them with brand-new cowhide official boots, and hung a wooden plaque made of sandalwood, he was full of pride.

Several people were the most powerful assistants under Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi reported for them that day, asking for the post of a small flag with a crown, and everyone was looking forward to it, but they didn't expect it to be really rewarded, and they were very happy to change into a new official uniform. Everyone can be described as a freshly dressed angry horse, and he is very energetic.

Xiao Yi rode out of Changning Town a few times, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, riding his horse and galloping, Xiao Yi shouted loudly and stopped, and Shi Gang and a few people behind him were all screaming and yelling, as if they were venting something. Shi Gang roared even more so that his throat was a little dry, he Shi Gang had never thought of being an officer and soldier in his life, let alone being an official, although he was a small flag officer who did not enter the stream, but Shi Gang seemed to be more respectful and obedient to Xiao Yi.

After shouting, Xiao Yi became worried again when he looked at the cracked land in front of him.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, class contradictions became increasingly acute, and natural and man-made disasters continued to occur. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, political corruption, rural bankruptcy, increasingly oppressive and exploitation, and drought in Shaanxi made it impossible for the people to live. For many years of disasters and famines, the land was occupied by the royal family and nobles, landlords and gentry.

At this time, all over the country of the Ming Dynasty, there were few people who could eat three meals at a time, and when the most basic food and clothing were difficult to solve, these people took risks and embarked on the road of resistance.

In July of the first year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayin, Yang Liu, and Bu Mu raised the banner of righteousness in Fugu, Shaanxi and other places, and the whole Shaanxi responded. During the second year of Chongzhen to the third year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and others rebelled successively, and Li Zicheng also joined Gao Yingxiang's team at this stage, and Xiao can be said to have developed at the same time.

At this time, there were more than 100 rebel troops in the whole territory of Shanxi. Some time ago, thousands of officers and border soldiers also joined the rebel army due to lack of pay and became the backbone. However, at this time, the rebel army was fighting, spontaneous and blind, and even the Weisuo army could easily defeat it.

At this time, the Ming court ordered Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to adopt the erroneous strategy of "suppressing and appeasing at the same time, focusing on appeasement". At this time, the Ming court was already bankrupt financially, and it was unable to feed a large number of hungry people, so it had already appeased those who had risen up again and delayed the best opportunity to exterminate the peasant army.

Xiao also thought about the current situation, and accelerated his speed. This is the most critical time, and we must not delay any longer.

When Xiao Yi and a few people appeared in their eyes, they saw four generals in fresh clothes and angry horses coming, and the person at the head was even more resolute, and he was mighty and extraordinary, and the person in the tattered mandarin duck robe on weekdays was very different.

Everyone was amazed, is this still the same person, it is really a person who relies on clothes and Buddha relies on gold. I didn't expect my Shangguan to be so heroic after changing into an official uniform.

Since it was noon, He Ping looked there, and could only see the backs of four horses on horsebacks, He Ping stayed for a while, found that no one was paying attention, and quietly touched his cheeks, which were already hot, and drank, "Lord Zongqi is back, come and everyone, don't do it first, let's eat!" ”

The big guys all put down their work and consciously led the porridge and food.

Xiao Yi was anxious about building a fort now, and immediately found Huang Yang, and after handing over his body to him, he opened his mouth and asked, "How is it, how is the construction of the city progressing, and the southern city wall is completed?" ”

After Huang Yang changed into his official uniform, his joy was indescribable, he really became a small general, and it all depended on Xiao Yi.

He replied, "The southern wall has just laid its foundations, and it is almost rammed earth and bricks." ”

Xiao Yi was surprised, "So fast? ”

"Haha, Liu Lao said that there is no need to make a ticket door hole in the south, so it is naturally faster." Huang Yang said with a smile.

Xiao Yi nodded, a little happy. Picking up a green brick, Shi Lu immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yi, "My lord, what if the official uniform that has just been issued is dirty." ”

Xiao Yi replied, "If the official uniform is dirty, you can wash it again, I just want to build a fort for the people as soon as possible that they can settle down and protect them." Without questioning, he picked up the boulder and began to do it.

The people saw that Xiao Yi was working so hard as a Shangguan, and they all secretly drank a bowl of porridge and continued to work. The work is no longer forced to be called up like Xiao Yi in Daankou, but spontaneous action.

A middle-aged man drank the porridge in his hand, put down the bowl and started working again.

"Hey, how can you be full after drinking a bowl of home, drink more and work better." A woman looked at her man and couldn't help but worry. The middle-aged man replied without looking back, "My lord is still so helpful as the chief flag officer, how can I drink porridge alone and be lazy, this is not my Hao Da's style!" "Let's start doing it when it's all over the place.

Everyone is like this, what Xiao Yi has done these days is in the eyes of everyone, only resting for less than half a pillar of incense, most people just drank a bowl of porridge hastily, and followed Xiao Yi to start working again.

In this way, it was only half a day, and it was evening. That is, most of the southern wall is built, and the southern wall does not need a foundation. All are made of glutinous rice juice, **** soil, sand and slaked lime mixed together to ram it, and the city was built with "steamed soil to build the city".

Therefore, the construction is quite fast, and it took a few hours of busy work, the south city wall has been built, and everyone is eating and resting under He Ping's shouting.

That night, Xiao Yi sat there, drinking porridge, looking at the half-formed city wall, Xiao Yi unconsciously clenched the bowl in his hand.

Since ancient times, a young husband cannot be without money for a day, and a big husband cannot be without power for a day! Xiao Yi thinks that he is a big husband, but he has no money and no power now, if he doesn't step up, how can he achieve his ideals.
