Wang Zuo saw the place and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send the commander of the Yongqing Sanwei to meet the driver first?" ”

According to the rules, whether it is the military department, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies or the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, they generally come to the garrison to meet with the chief officer first, and then they are led by others to inspect together.

It's just that people lead the inspection, and if you can find one, two, three, four, five, then it's a hell.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, "Don't go to see them, since it's a private visit from Weifu, I'll take a look by myself." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Qizhen actually got out of the carriage and traveled along a small road.

What should Wang Zuoneng do?

I could only sigh and follow.

Winter goes to spring, the sun is getting bigger and bigger day by day, wearing a thick velvet coat, if you are in the palace to bask in the free time, it is extremely pleasant.

But after walking for a while, Zhu Qizhen was already sweating, and he felt that his clothes were already soaked.

Turning his head to take a look, Jin Ying and Wang Zuo were no better, they were both panting and their faces were a little pale.

On the contrary, the accompanying brocade guards are as ordinary as usual.

After walking about three or four miles, the group finally met people.

A place that is no different from ordinary Zhuangzi appears in front of you, and as far as the eye can see, there is a large field, and countless ragged people are busy working in the field.

Zhu Qizhen saw a stream, ignored the obstruction of a cadre, rushed to the stream, bowed and poured a handful of water on his face.

It's so bright......

Zhu Qizhen was excited, and felt that the whole person was a lot more comfortable.

Jin Ying took out a pair of brocade handkerchiefs out of nowhere, "Your Majesty, wipe your face, don't suffer the cold."

Zhu Qizhen wiped his face and said with a smile: "Master Wang, do you want to try it too, this handful of water will go down to ensure that all the fire is clean." ”

Wang Zuo shook his head again and again: "The minister is old, this old bone is not like Your Majesty, but it can't withstand this toss." ”

"Okay, what Master Wang said is that Master Wang will have a good rest first, Jin Ying, and get some water for Master Wang."

After saying that, Zhu Qizhen stared at the farmland not far away.

Jin Ying took out the water bladder from the carriage, poured out the honey water, and endured the dry mouth and served it to Wang Zuo.

Wang Zuo was not polite, but after that, he drank it all in one gulp, and smashed it in his mouth.

This is looking at Kim Young...... I feel even more dry in my mouth.

Zhu Qizhen looked at this farmland, and it took a quarter of an hour to see it.

The people on the side waited so patiently and quietly, and they didn't dare to say more.

This is, Zhu Qizhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Come on, go and invite someone to come." ”

After the Jinyi guard received the order, he came and went in a hurry, and soon brought a soldier over.

This soldier looked a little old, his whole body was dark, and his face was even darker, as if there were thousands of ravines.

This soldier looked at this large group of people, and the one in the middle of the leader looked at his appearance and the materials of the clothes he was wearing, and knew that this person must be unusual, and he must be the son of a big family.

The military man was a little cramped, and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the old man......"

Zhu Qizhen looked at him like this and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, I ......, are you a military household in this guard?"

I've just watched it for a long time, watching you plough the fields, hard work.

Come, give him some water, and get some food. ”

Zhu Qizhen thinks that the best way to get closer to people is to eat.

Giving food to others is the best way to release goodwill.

"Ah......h

The soldier was stunned.

Then someone took out a few meatloafs, filled them with honey, and sent them to the soldiers.

The military man was polite, thankful and unacceptable, but his body took the meatloaf and water very sincerely.

After taking the cake, he was reluctant to eat it, so he put it away like a baby, and just drank the water.

The military man smashed it in his mouth, his eyes narrowed, obediently, this water is actually sweet.

"The lord is worthy of coming from a big family, and this water is as sweet as honey."

The soldier couldn't help but say.

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "With honey added to this water, it is naturally sweet." ”

This person seemed to be frightened, adding honey to the water, even a hundred households, and a thousand households would not dare to do this.

Wang Zuo on the side couldn't help but say: "I said, what are you doing if you don't eat the bread and hide it?" ”

"I'll take it back and feed my grandchildren."

The military man replied honestly.

"My husband is really a blessing", Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "I don't know my father's surname? ”

"Little Zhang He, the people in Weili, are all called old man Zhang Mazi."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, "You come up and sit down, there are some things that need to be asked of you." ”

Zhu Qizhen said, and then sat on the ground with a big grin.

Zhang He didn't dare, just squatted down: "I don't know if the master is here......"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Zhu Qizhen said in a relaxed tone, "My father-in-law has been a military household for generations?" ”

"Yes, during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, my family was ordered to guard the Beijing Division, but at that time, the Beijing Division was still in the south, and when the little second child was still young, I remembered that my family moved from Nanzhili."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and sighed: "It's really not easy, it's really hard to get here from Nanzhili and leave your hometown."

By the way, I just saw how my husband is still working in the fields at such an age, why don't you rest at home and look at your little grandson. ”

"I", this Zhang He showed a wry smile, "The little old man is no better than a nobleman, he was born with a cheap life and a hard life, how can he be blessed to share such a blessing."

Besides, there are still so many mouths at home that still have to eat, and I can't rest......"

Wang Zuo couldn't help but ask: "These jobs have their own children and grandchildren, and my father-in-law's son can't bear to let you work so hard." ”

Wang Zuo's words seemed to evoke Zhang He's sad past, the old man blinked his eyes, and tears fell from his beans.

Zhang He rubbed it with his hands, and Zhu Qizhen saw that his hands were full of calluses, the texture of his fingers was also invisible, and there were cuts or scars everywhere on his hands.

After a while, he spoke in a low voice: "It's gone, my son, it's gone." ”

Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zuo were shocked.

In this era, if there is something wrong with the strong labor in the family, it can be said that ......

"The son of the old man is ......"

Zhu Qizhen asked softly.

"He, his life is not good, he went out with the army last year and died in Tumu Fort, when he was in the moon, Wei Li came back with the news, saying that the person was gone."

Zhu Qizhen was stunned, a little guilty, and couldn't bear it, but he still continued to ask: "People can't be resurrected after death, and those who are alive have to look forward.

By the way, I remember that the imperial court had a decree, and the soldiers who died in the war all had pensions, pensions, and guards? ”

Zhang He nodded, "It's sent, Wei Li first sent five taels of silver, and two stone rice, a few days ago, Wei Li made up two taels of silver, and the hundred households also said that Your Majesty is gracious, and in the future, Xiao Lao'er, these families have people who died in battle, and the grain paid in the next three years can be reduced by three percent." ”

Although Yeongcheongwei is a guard post near Gyeonggi, it is still given to the military field for self-sufficiency, just like a general guard station.

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zuoji's faces changed greatly, and a wave of anger instantly swept Zhu Qizhen's body.

Mercy? Lao Tzu opened your mother's great grace.

At the beginning, the household department reported that it was 50 pieces of buried silver per person

Twenty stones, two stones, three years tax-free, five-year and a half-year tax.

But when his mother got here, she directly folded it in half.

No, this got a fraction of it.

Wang Zuo was also angry to death, knowing that this group of stinky hills would not be paid enough, and they didn't count the tens of millions of years, and these people were so ugly.

This silver, the household department, the military department, the five armies of the governor's office, the capital division, the guard, the thousand households, the hundred households, layer by layer, layer by layer, in the hands of the people, naturally there is not one in ten.

Besides, this is just the Gyeonggi Guard, if it is another place......

At this time, in the distance, a team of fast horses came.

Zhu Qizhen knew that it was Wei Li's commander and others who came, and they had already learned the news, so they rushed here in a hurry.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhang He, "Uncle, I can't get out of your son's death."

Now your family's life is not good, your son's buried silver is definitely more than this, and it should be sent to you immediately.

In this way, I will do something for my father-in-law and do my best, which will be regarded as making amends to my father-in-law. ”

After saying that, Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said with a calm face: "I don't want to see them, let's go, get in the car and go back to Beijing." ”

So, Zhu Qizhen got into the car, and a team of people hurried away.

The commander of the Yongqing Sanwei, the servants and others did not dare to step forward, but only dared to watch the carriage leave.

Looking at Zhang He, who was alone, the commander pointed at Zhang He with a horsewhip: "You...... Come here......"

After Zhang He came over, he looked at the commander and the Qianhu officials, his face turned blue with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Humble Zhang He, I've seen it...... I've seen ......."

"Say!" The commander said eagerly: "What did you just say to Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ...... "Zhang Heru was struck by lightning.

The command of these three guards has been confused until now.

It was fine, but the factory guard suddenly came to the door.

At this time...... Only then did he know that His Majesty had actually come to Yongqingwei.

The commander was already anxious to stomp his feet, and now that he saw His Majesty leave directly, he was nervous again.

The one who just spoke...... Is it a kind young man, Your Majesty?

Zhang Hehe couldn't have imagined that he was talking to himself anyway......

Suddenly, he was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.

But immediately these gangs were in a hurry: "Say it quickly, say it......"

Zhang He took a deep breath and muttered, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty talked to me, asked, asked the name of the little old man, and also, asked about Wei Li and the little old man's son........."

Zhang He was already talking a little gibberish at this time.

Qianhu lifted him up and was completely angry: "Dog thing, you say! What else did Your Majesty say to you? ”

Zhang He thought about it for a while, and looked honest: "Your Majesty also asked about my son's burnt silver ......"

Damn, the conductor was already dazed, and he almost fell off his horse.

Burning, burying silver......

He heard that in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the two younger brothers of the British Duke suffered a big loss because of this burning and burying of silver, and they were almost beaten to death by the British Duke, and even characters like the British Duke also ate melons.

"You, what did you say?"

The conductor asked with some reluctance.

"Little Lao'er, little Lao'er said it truthfully."

Zhang He said with an innocent face.

The commander felt that he was angry and bloody, and he was not a man, and none of the thousands of households were white-faced.

It's over, Your Majesty must know about this.

Zhang He looked at these Shangguan with a dead mother's appearance, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Your Majesty said just now, Weili, you have to send me fifty stone rice." ”

"What?" The conductor was stunned.

This...... It's true?

Zhang He swore that it was to compensate his son who died in battle.

The biggest problem with this kind of thing is that no one can prove his authenticity.

No one can falsify it, unless, you go to the emperor to verify it.

But you, a small commander, are also worthy of seeing Your Majesty and his old man?

And now go to Your Majesty, look for death, isn't it?

They looked at each other and found that they could only choose to believe.

What is the profound meaning of Your Majesty's words?

Zhang and his son......

Could it be that Your Majesty is trying to make us ......

Countless thoughts came to the conductor's head.

Finally, this command seemed to understand His Majesty's deep meaning.

Your Majesty, take Zhang He as an example, in addition to making up the silver, he also asked Wei Li to make up 50 stone of rice for every family that died in the war?

Yes, this is very likely, Your Majesty attaches great importance to these big-headed soldiers.

Looking at Zhang Laohe, who was panicked but extremely sincere, the commander wanted to scold, but after thinking about it carefully, this person and His Majesty had talked again, and God knows if His Majesty would pay attention to this person.

If you say or do something today, you will be reported by the Jinyi Guard......

The commander smiled: "Your name is Zhang He, right, yes, yes, you are a proper person, fifty stone rice, let me go to your thousand households tomorrow to get it."

By the way, the burned and buried silver that was sent before has not been distributed in Weili, so you will go to the Thousand Households to get it tomorrow. ”

Zhang Hele was happy, revealing his black teeth.

…………

On the way back to Beijing, Zhu Qizhen shook his head at Wang Zuo: "I have seen what real corruption is today. Looking at the panicked but extremely sincere Zhang Laohe, the commander wanted to scold, but after thinking about it, this person and His Majesty talked again, God knows if His Majesty will pay attention to this person.
