The number of masons was limited, and Zhou Ping could not build a barracks that could accommodate 10,000 people in a month, even with three heads and six arms, so the recruited Jinyi Guard recruits could only live in tents. Zhu Cheng scattered the recruits of the Jinyi Guard in the Huangzhuang, with every 5ooo people as a battalion. When the temporary camp was built, a lot of winter wheat that was growing well was bulldozed, which made many tenants sigh pity.

However, these landless peasants soon realized that the loss of their horses was not a blessing. They were recruited as agricultural workers by Huangzhuang and lived a life of drought and flood protection. As long as you go to work on time every day and work hard, you will have a monthly salary of 1 tael of silver every month, which is 12 taels a year, which is equal to the income of a year of labor in the farmland in a good year.

The agricultural workers now work in a strange place, like the mythical Crystal Palace. The walls and roofs of these houses are made of transparent crystal, allowing sunlight to penetrate the rooms, and the miserable weather is kept out. Looking at this house, people sigh that it is worthy of a royal manor, and the shot is really generous. What's even more amazing is that they actually installed a stove inside, and the temperature was too low to light the stove. At first, the workers thought that the foremen took care of their bodies and were afraid that they would freeze. Later, after they finished work, the stove was still not extinguished, and then they realized that this stove was to maintain the temperature in the Crystal Palace, which was really a luxury.

The new steward of the current Huangzhuang of agricultural workers is very kind, but he does not know much about agricultural affairs, and likes to command blindly, so he actually let them sow seeds in the Crystal Palace in the tenth winter month. Although the name of wheat is winter wheat, it is not sown in winter, it is really a layman commanding an insider. Strangely, though, the seeds sprouted and grew tender green leaves. Farmers who have grown vegetables recognize at a glance that these shoots are seedlings of greens, spinach, celery, cucumbers, etc.

Some workers thought that these seeds were very special and might be new varieties, so they asked Zhu Cheng for some with an old face, planted them in front of the house and behind the house, took care of them, and watered them seven or eight times a day, but there was still no movement, so they were convinced by Zhu Cheng.

When the vegetables were about to be harvested, Ke Qingqing came back with 3oo people. They were the last to return, after all, doctors were a scarce resource in any dynasty, and they were not easy to find.

Zhu Cheng was a little surprised, how could Ke Qingqing be so powerful and find so many doctors who were willing to join the army. After asking, I realized that Ke Qingqing only recruited 34 doctors and 66 nurses, and the remaining 2oo people were recruits recruited by the two bodyguards.

Time couldn't be delayed any longer, Zhu Cheng took a large team of people, dragged two carts of vegetables, and entered the palace with Zhu Youzhen to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw two carts of green vegetables, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Although he is a son of heaven and can eat countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, he still has to be constrained by nature, and he still eats very few green vegetables like this in winter. Although some people in the Ming Dynasty have begun to try to grow some vegetables in greenhouses, because the light in the greenhouse is not good, only some melons and fruits can be planted, and green vegetables are basically impossible to grow. Of course, there are a lot of vegetables in the Jiangnan area, but when they are transported to Beijing, at least nine and a half baskets of ten baskets of vegetables have to rot.

Wei Zhongxian didn't believe his eyes a little, reached out and touched it, and pulled off a vegetable leaf, chewed it, and was reluctant to spit it out, so he ate it raw.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Zhu Cheng, you are really amazing. When I said let you grow vegetables, it was originally a joke, but I didn't expect you to actually grow so many vegetables for me. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be taken aback when he caught a glimpse of Zhu Cheng's expression, only did he see that Zhu Cheng not only did not have a proud look, but his face was full of sadness. Looking at Zhu Youzhen again, he was also unwilling, with a worried expression.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhu Cheng knelt on the ground with a "plop", and Zhu Youzhen also knelt down.

Seeing the two of them kneeling on the ground, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Weichen is guilty. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed and asked, "What trouble have you caused again?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "I accidentally recruited more when I was recruiting. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked relieved and said, "Don't worry about dozens of people, I'm not a stingy person." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "More than that. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed again and said, "Although a few hundred is beyond the limit, it doesn't matter, who made you my sincere brother?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Ten, ten times." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's expression changed greatly: "You recruited 10,000 people? ”

Zhu Cheng nodded.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious: "What do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" If you are given a thousand households, you will dare to recruit 10,000 people, and if you are given a general, won't you take away all the soldiers of the whole country? ”

Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse is generous and benevolent by nature, he is an emperor after all, and he is willing to let anyone who may threaten his throne take it lightly. He shouted: "Left and right, take Zhu Cheng down and put him in prison." ”

Zhu Youzhen was so anxious that tears came out, and said, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang......"

Wei Zhongxian also persuaded: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse flicked his sleeves and went to the apse, and Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian hurriedly chased after him.

In the prison, Zhu Cheng was stripped of his official robe and changed into a prison uniform. The prison is closed for serious offenders, and the prison uniforms prepared are all adults', and they look extremely depressed after being put on.

Zhu Cheng had a few silver ingots in his clothes, and after the cell boss found it, he naturally smiled.

The cell boss asked: "Boy, it's good luck, being imprisoned in the prison at such a young age, you can be regarded as the first person in the Ming Dynasty, what did you do?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "I really want to know? I remember a great sage who once said that curiosity kills cats. It's easy for me to say, but if you know, you'll come in with me. Seeing that you want to know so sincerely, I'll tell you sù. ”

The cell boss hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm living a fairly comfortable life, so you can stay in it alone." ”

The dungeon's room was dirty and messy, because the urine bucket was still inside, and there was a foul smell.

Zhu Cheng sat on the ground and looked up at the ceiling. He was still too anxious, 10,000 soldiers, the threat to the imperial power was too great, but he had to do it again. It is now the first year of the Apocalypse, and in October of the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu will enter the customs for the first time. There were nine years in between, although four years was enough to train a strong team, but five years later, Zhu Youzhen was already fifteen years old, and at that time, the scale of recruitment was expanded, and despite the deep brotherhood, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would still secretly be suspicious. Now that Zhu Youzhen is only eleven years old and has recruited more soldiers, everyone will only think that the boy has done something wrong, and no one will think that he has a disobedient heart.

Zhu Cheng just wanted to take advantage of Zhu Youzhen's young age to organize a powerful armed force. Unexpectedly, he still committed the taboo of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. locked up in prison, Zhu Cheng is not afraid; What Zhu Cheng feared was that the Emperor of the Apocalypse forced him to disband the newly recruited soldiers. He has inspected all these soldiers one by one, and they are all good seedlings.

Zhu Cheng was thinking about it when a man in a black cloak came to the prison. He looked at it fixedly, and it was Li Yongzhen.

Li Yongzhen said: "Father-in-law Wei called me to come and see Lord Zhu." He made you relax, and now he and Zhu Youzhen are working together to persuade the emperor. The emperor's attitude has changed, and he will release you in the next few days. ”

Zhu Cheng looked at Li Yongzhen, moved to tears, and said, "Since Gonggong Wei is persuading the emperor, how can he have time to send you to visit me?" ”

Li Yongzhen was silent for a while, and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Zhu is really smart, it is true that no one sent me, it was our family who came by themselves." I secretly listened to their conversation and knew that the emperor's attitude had softened, so I came to report the news first, so that Lord Zhu could rest assured and not rush to make trouble. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "You treat me as a friend, and I also treat you as a friend." If there is anything in the future, just look for me. ”

Li Yongzhen opened the food box he brought, and there was wine and meat in it.

Sake is rice wine, and meat is beef.

Zhu Cheng said: "It's boring to eat alone, when I'm a friend, just eat with me." ”

Zhu Cheng was drunk for the first time in his life, he shook the iron door and shouted: "There is no ambition to serve the country, there is no ambition to serve the country!" ”

Then Zhu Cheng hugged the iron fence and burst into tears.

Li Yongzhen persuaded: "Let's get by." There are so many people in Daming, there is no more than you, no less than you, no less, it is better to live your little life with peace of mind. ”

The cell boss came over with a leather whip, and scolded in his mouth: "Which bastard is yelling, making Uncle Ben uncomfortable." ”

Li Yongzhen glared at the cell boss.

The cell boss recognized that this was the eunuch in power in the palace, and was so frightened that he threw away the whip and knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Li Yongzhen persuaded Zhu Cheng a few words, and then left. Before leaving, he repeatedly told the cell boss to take good care of Zhu Cheng, saying that if Zhu Cheng lost a head, he would have to look good.

The cell head was so depressed that he wanted to look up to the sky and howl, and said in his heart: "How can an uncle be imprisoned in this prison, it's like this, our jailer can't live yet." ”

Suddenly, he thought that he had also found a lot of silver from Zhu Cheng's body, and it seemed that he couldn't keep it, so he had to put it back in his official robe quickly.
