After listening to these people's words, Zhu Youcheng understood that he was finally going to be a little leper dog.

It turned out that these people were the gunners of the Shenji Battalion, and there were more than a hundred of them. Didn't Zhu Youcheng borrow forty gunners from the Shenji Battalion of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division last time? Back in the capital, those gunners returned to the Shenji Battalion. There was nothing to do in the Shenji Battalion, and the forty people were idle, and then looking at the meager and intermittent military salary, it was really uncomfortable, so they discussed whether they could defect to Jinyiwei. They had already heard that Zhu Youcheng was a popular man in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and if he was willing to accept it, he would be able to pass it if he went to the military department to say it.

The other soldiers of the Shenji Battalion saw that these forty people had come back and made a generous move, and they came to inquire one after another, and after learning that they were living a privileged life in Jinyi Weixi Town, they were so envious that their saliva was about to flow out—it was not an exaggeration at all, it was really drooling. Because although the Shenji Battalion is stationed in the capital, it lives a very hard life, and eats vegetarian all year round, and the oil stars in the dishes can be counted. Look at Xizhen Fusi again, there is a sudden, and he does it in a different way. For example, the first day is braised pork, and the next day may be back to the pot pork, and the recipe is hung outside the canteen, and there is no repetition within ten days. As for the military salary, it is fixed every month, ranging from 1 tael and 2 yuan to 1 tael and 5 yuan. The Xizhen Fusi stipulates that recruits will receive 1 tael of silver per year, and 1 tael of silver will be added every year in the future. Originally, the first batch of soldiers could get 1 tael and 9 yuan, but now they have become 100 or 1,000 households, and they receive officers' salaries, which is of course higher.

Regarding the military salary of Xizhen Fusi, the military department has always had a lot of opinions. At the end of the year, hundreds of thousands of taels had to be pulled out to the Xizhen Fusi, which made the overstretched army's finances even more strained. But the powerful traitor Wei Zhongxian used his power for personal gain, and the secretary of the military department had no choice. In order to reduce or reduce military salaries, the military department Shangshu sent people to check the number of people and supervise the salaries, but they did not find any problems. In fact, everyone in the capital knows that Zhu Youcheng and King Xin are small millionaires, and their factory in Miyun is constantly producing perfumes, soaps, towels and other items. It can be said that it is making money every day, and it is impossible to stretch out a black hand in this regard.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion moved their minds. I want to be transferred to the West Town Fusi. The forty people were about to go back, and they knew that Zhu Youcheng lacked manpower, so they invited nearly 100 gunners to stop Zhu Youcheng on the street. It is hoped that they will be recruited into the West Town Fusi. So why don't they ask to see in private, but ask publicly? There's a little bit of their mind in it. Zhu Youcheng gives people the impression that he is eager to seek talent, and if he refuses on the street, it will damage his reputation for seeking talent. Of course, this is also a ruined move, because if this matter is known to the admiral of the Shenji Battalion, he will definitely give them small shoes. However, if the shoe is broken, even if it is a little smaller, it is not too sad.

Zhu Youcheng groaned slightly. Then he said loudly: "That's it, I'll go to the military department first, you can be regarded as borrowing." But. The West Town Fu Division has a high salary, and the training task is also heavy, we are practicing once a day, from the town to the soldiers, everyone is like this. Moreover, the Xizhen Fusi is responsible for the task of pacifying the bandits. There is a certain danger in going to war at any time. Are you still coming? ”

The voices of the gunners were much more sparse, and two or three of them even slipped away.

Zhu Youshen looked at them with a smile and didn't speak.

At the instigation of the forty gunners, the gunners mustered up their courage and answered again loudly.

Zhu Youcheng said loudly: "If you want to be rich and dangerous, if you want the opportunity to be promoted to official wealth, Xizhen Fusi will give it to you, but you have to have the courage to fight for it." A manly man would rather die standing than live on his knees. This is the life of the common people, not the life of our soldiers. We must be born vigorously and die heavier than Mount Tai! Since you are willing to come to the West Town Fusi, then while enjoying the superior treatment, you have to participate in the devilish training of the West Town Fu Division. What I want to make clear is that this month, you are on trial in the West Town Fusi, and you can withdraw at any time. But a month later, your relationship officially transferred to Xizhen Fusi, and if you want to quit, it will be a deserter, but you have to engage in military law. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youcheng called a guard and asked him to take the gunners to Xizhen Fusi for devilish training. At this time, he saw two or three more people in the team sneaking away, and he didn't mind. Xizhen Fusi wants elite soldiers, not waste snacks. I remember that the three major battalions of the Beijing Division - the Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion, and the Fifth Army Battalion were worrisome, and Chongzhen went out of the capital to fight with Li Zicheng's troops in the 17th year, and was defeated by himself before the battle. Although these gunners had already withdrawn from the Shenji Battalion at that time, the spirit of cowardice and fear of death of the three battalions was also passed down from generation to generation, and as a link in the middle, they also contributed a lot. Although it seems a bit of a pity that Sand eliminated some of the timid rats, the remaining elite soldiers can wield a greater effect.

After beating away the artillery, Zhu Youcheng once again whipped the horse and rushed back to the children's paradise. Before he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a red official robe waiting for him at the door, and he looked at it, but it was Xu Guangqi.

Zhu Youcheng jumped off the horse, Xu Guangqi greeted him, and said, "What about the potatoes?" What about sweet potatoes? ”

Sure enough, it is the style of an agronomist, who has no one in his eyes and only cares about crops.

Zhu Youcheng smiled and said: "If you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes or roast beef with potatoes, you can do it." ”

Xu Guangqi wrinkled his eyebrows and glared, and said angrily: "You dare!" If you eat a sweet potato or a potato, old man...... The old man fought with you. ”

Zhu Youcheng saw that the old man was really angry, and hurriedly laughed dryly: "How can it? It's all a baby, hanging in the backyard. ”

Zhu Youcheng took Xu Guangqi into the backyard of his and Xinwang's residence in the children's paradise, and sure enough, all the shops were potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Xu Guangqi was a little stunned and asked, "Master Zhu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Protect the seeds. Transported from Huating to Beijing, there was wind and rain along the way, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes were kept in the box and would rot. It's dry, so it's good to put it away. ”

"When are you going to sow the seeds?"

"I'll have to wait until next spring."

"No, no, it's too late, I'll plant some tomorrow."

Zhu Youcheng couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Lord Xu, I can understand how you want to solve the problem of famine in the Ming Dynasty, but you have to respect the laws of nature, now that winter is approaching, if you bury the seeds in the soil, he will not sprout, he will only silently rot in the soil, maybe I have to complain in my heart that you sent them to the western sky." ”

Xu Guangqi looked stern and said, "Don't lie to me, you have a greenhouse, you can grow there." Don't say anything, your greenhouse, the old man requisitioned. ”

Zhu Youcheng was a little embarrassed and said, "The greenhouse has not been opened yet. Even if it is enabled, it is planted with seasonal fresh food for the emperor to eat. The number of greenhouses in Jingxi Huangzhuang is limited, and there are so many potatoes and sweet potatoes, how can they be enough? ”

"Then I don't care," Xu Guangqi is a rare upright person, "Anyway, if you don't plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, the old man won't leave, and your food and clothing will be yours, and if you can't go to the court, yours...... Otherwise, you don't plant so much, half the potatoes and half the sweet potatoes. I'm going to try the planting method you said, whether you can grow high-yielding potatoes and sweet potatoes. If I can, I will promote it next year. ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded helplessly. Xu Guangqi was very domineering and forced him to write down a warrant, and forcibly requisitioned one of his carriages and went to Jingxi Huangzhuang. Xu Guangqi originally wanted to force him to go with him, but Zhu Youcheng really had a lot of things, and he really couldn't get out, so he had to retreat and go to Huangzhuang with a warrant.

Before leaving, Xu Guangqi also instructed Zhu Youcheng to take strict care of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and instead of Zhu Youcheng, he wrote an order to transfer ten brocade guards to guard the seeds, and searched for a big seal from Zhu Youcheng's body and stamped it. In the months that followed, the peasants of Jingxi Huangzhuang appeared in a small warehouse, surrounded by ten brocade guards, day and night. Everyone was curious about this small warehouse, and the news gradually spread, and the more evil it became. The snitch in the capital is covetous, and whoever steals the treasure inside will be the king of thieves in the capital.

Jinyiwei is not a vegetarian, come one to catch one, come two to catch a pair. But after all, there are still artists who are bold, and there is a big thief who finally enters the warehouse at the end of spring, but it is now empty. Nonsense, the seeds are all buried in the soil, what else is left in the warehouse? Besides, if it weren't for the empty warehouse, the ten brocade guards wouldn't have been removed, and the thieves wouldn't have been able to get in. (To be continued)
