That night, after everyone rested, Zhu Yuanzhang was still lighting an oil lamp in the small cave and looking through the account books. Usually, he has always been inspected, and he rarely lights up at night, but today he actually lights up and reads at night, which makes Zhang Yingxian, who lives in the same cave, full of curiosity. She couldn't help but hold Qiu Ye's hand and cautiously leaned behind Zhu Yuanzhang to look.

I saw that what Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at was the distribution of food in the entire cottage.

Zhang Yingxian is literate, knows a lot, is a rare intellectual in the cottage, after a few glances, her beautiful eyebrows are gently wrinkled together.

"Food...... It seems that there is a difficulty......" she whispered behind Zhu Yuanzhang's back.

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang did not shy away from her, and replied: "Originally, the grain stored in the cottage could be eaten for half a year, but after accepting these seven hundred and eighty-three people, our grain will not last for half a year, at most for four months." ”

"Then why did you take them?" Zhang Yingxian sighed: "When they don't have enough food, most people will hold their pockets tightly and are unwilling to share it with others...... So that I can live a little longer. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly: "Because that person's goal is just to keep himself alive, but my goal is not just to live in a mess...... If I want to do a big job, I must have enough manpower, and the manpower will not fly down from the sky by itself, I must be able to share everything I have, and turn it into more help. ”

"You...... What exactly do you want to do? Zhang Yingxian was infected by the arrogance in his tone, and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it just under the guise of doing the right thing for heaven, robbing women, grabbing food, evading the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and occupying the mountain as the king?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed slightly: "In your eyes, am I such a person?" ”

"Not quite like ...... But ......" Zhang Yingxian was a little scared: "I can only think like this." ”

"Hah, that's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang's frowning brows relaxed: "With your knowledge and vision, you can only think of this step, if you can also think of a higher place, it would be really strange." Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about things that are too far away, it's all empty now, it's better to be a human being, or just talk about the things in front of you. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head again, looked through the account book twice, and then closed it and put it on the table: "The food is indeed not enough, it seems that we have to go out and grab ......."

"Where are you going to grab it?" Zhang Yingxian couldn't help but help him analyze: "Yichuan in the north, I heard that Wang Zuo is making trouble there, and he should have robbed all the grain, and Luochuan in the west can be considered......"

"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "I want to go back to Baishui to grab grain." ”

"Scared? Back to whitewater? Zhang Yingxian was frightened: "You killed from there, and you went back there?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously: "There are several conveniences in going to Baishui to grab grain." First, my army was familiar with the terrain and the location of the squires and landlords, and it was easy and convenient to grab food. Second, the squires I robbed of Whitewater once last year, and they knew that as long as they obediently sent me taxes, I would not take their lives, so they would be more cooperative than the squires in other places, and if I changed the county seat, I would have to face the village warriors and bring casualties to myself in vain. Third, my reputation in Baishui is not low, there must be many people like Uncle De and Poodle in Baishui, I want to bring them all back to the cottage, if I go to other counties, I may not be able to do it. ”

Zhang Yingxian: "......"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "You are right, now I am a mountain king who robs women and food." ”

"Can you be the king of the mountain?" Zhang Yingxian said very seriously: "You don't like to listen to what I said, but I still want to say, accept the court's recruitment, Yang Hong may be a fake Zhao'an, but in the future, there will definitely be court officials who come to recruit in good faith...... Why not take advantage of the trend to join the imperial court, become a military attaché, and achieve unlimited achievements in the future. ”

After all, Zhang Yingxian is a young lady from a county order, and she also knows a little about the imperial court, Yang Hong is fake Zhao'an, she can see it, but she also knows that there are some civil officials in the imperial court, who are moderate, and they like to use Zhao'an's means to deal with bandits and rogues, and they are sincere Zhao'an.

Zhang Yingxian's opinion is not wrong, in the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fu*jian, recruited the great pirate Zheng Zhilong, and it was a sincere Zhao'an, and Zheng Zhilong was given the title of a Five Tiger Guerrilla General, Zheng Zhilong, the largest pirate leader in the southeast sea, became a court official.

In the near future, that is, in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Yang He, the trilateral governor of the Lord and faction, also began to recruit Liukou on a large scale, and also used the emperor's 100,000 taels of Neinujin to appease the thieves.

If he grasps the opportunity of Yang He's recruitment, it is not impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to transform himself into a real court official.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get angry with Zhang Yingxian, he just smiled faintly: "Who said that being the king of the mountain is unproductive?" I knew that there was a person who became the king of the mountain and became the emperor. Can a person who accepts Zhao'an become an emperor? ”

"Silk!" Zhang Yingxian gasped: "The person you said was the king of the mountain and became the emperor...... Isn't it...... The grandfather of this dynasty? ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, thinking in his heart: It turns out that you have also heard of my deeds?

Zhang Yingxian wiped her sweat: "But...... You...... How dare you compare yourself to your grandfather? How can you be as good as him? ”

"Hah!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, why can't I be compared with myself? Forget it, it's no wonder she thinks so, it's really no wonder she. He was rarely in a good mood, and he actually talked with a woman for a long time, and he felt a little funny, and waved his hand to let Zhang Yingxian go back to sleep by himself.

It wasn't until he got to bed and lay down that he understood why he deigned to talk about ideals with a woman, because the cottages were full of illiterates, and it was rare for someone who knew a little knowledge to talk to him about these things, alas! Do you want to catch a few talented people or celebrities and others to go up the mountain to be military advisors? When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, the first military division of Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, he was actually arrested, didn't he do a good job later?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly dispelled this idea, now his strength is too weak, even if he catches a celebrity, he will not be willing to contribute to him, and when he has a certain strength and a possible surname to plot the world, the literati and celebrities will be willing to join him.

Zhu Yuanzhang fell asleep quickly, but Zhang Yingxian, who retreated to the other corner of the cave, tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep.

"Miss...... What are you thinking? Akiba couldn't help but ask timidly.

"Alas, Akiba...... I'm thinking...... Isn't this Zhu Ba a little abnormal......" Zhang Ying bit Qiuye's ear and said softly: "You say, what is he robbing me to the mountain to be the lady of the village?" ”

"Of course...... It's to have a lady. "The idea of Akiba is very simple.

"Stupid, have you ever seen a man who has a wife but doesn't share a room with him?" Zhang Yingxian scolded in a low voice.

"Yes, hasn't the second young master of the Ma family never been in the same room with Miss?" Akiba said stupidly.

"That's different...... Zhang Yingxian's face turned red, fortunately it was at night, Qiu Ye didn't see it, she said in a low voice: "That man hates it to death, of course I don't want to have sex with him, I keep arguing with him, and he is not interested in touching me, but ...... He slept with the maid every night...... It shows that he still has that ability......"

"Wow, what do you want to say, miss?" Akiba began to hear that something was wrong.

Zhang Yingxian bit her lower lip and said, "I'...... I suspect Zhu Ba...... I don't have that ability...... Not a real man......"

"Flutter!" Autumn leaves almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands: "No......"

"How not?" Zhang Yingxian said in a low voice: "Look...... It's been months since we've been up the mountain, and he hasn't even touched me, and he doesn't like to look at me naked...... You said...... Would a normal man be like that? I suspect that he is not a real man, and in order to cover up this flaw, he deliberately robbed me of being the wife of the village and made it for others to see...... Haven't you heard of it? The eunuchs in the palace will also deliberately marry a wife at home......"

"The servant doesn't understand!" Akiba pretending to be stupid.

Zhang Yingxian bit her lower lip hard: "I've always been afraid of being insulted by him...... But...... If he doesn't have that ability at all, I can let go of this heart. Akiba, you help me try him to see if he is a real man. ”

Akiba Khan: "This ...... How do you try it? ”

"Take off your clothes and go to get into his bed, if he is unmoved, then I can be sure that he is not a man, and I can let go of this heart."

"But...... Miss...... In case of...... What if he's a real man...... Won't the servant just ......?"

"So what's the matter, you like him anyway, so what's the point of giving your body to him?" Zhang Yingxian flattened her mouth and said: "You have long wanted to be his wife, don't let me know ......"

"This ...... The servant is not ready ......"

"What are you not prepared for, don't you listen to my words?" Zhang Yingxian Ma lowered his face: "I know, after coming to this cottage, you don't treat me as a young lady, right?" ”

"No...... Can't! You will always be my miss. Qiu Ye pouted aggrievedly, Zhang Yingxian's order is really a bit difficult for a strong man, if it is a different man, Qiu Ye really doesn't listen to her order, but the object is Zhu Ba, Qiu Ye's heart is full of knots, and it turns and turns. In the end, she still compromised: "Son...... Go is ......"

She slipped down from Zhang Yingxian's bed and gently took off her clothes, the darkness in the cave made her feel much less ashamed, but the feeling of not having a wisp of her whole body still made her feel weird. She is only fifteen years old this year, and she is still a little girl in high school in the next generation, but in the Ming Dynasty, she is already a mature woman who can be married.

Qiu Ye gritted her teeth and thought: Women, sooner or later, there has to be this day, let it go, the object is Zhu Bugs, there is nothing to be afraid of.

She walked lightly to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedside, lifted the quilt with a speed like flying, and swished in.
