Li Yan, who went out with the army, saw the spring plowing scene of the people of Jingdong along the way, and was stunned.

"King Chuang claimed to have rebelled for the sake of feeding the people of the world, but he had never organized such a scale of peasants to cultivate, and even wantonly plundered and drove out the displaced people in order to expand the army.

Zhang Xianzhong, who is far away in Sichuan, is even more like a bandit, no matter whether he has land or not, whether he is willing or not, as long as all the living people are filled into the army, it can be said that there is no grass everywhere he passes. ”

In contrast, Emperor Chongzhen, who has been shouting and shouting and killing in the rebel army for more than ten years, is so sympathetic to the people.

It's like a joke.

When passing outside Yongping City, Li Yan saw a new type of farm tool.

It is said that it was distributed free of charge by the imperial court and shared.

After careful questioning, I learned that this is a kind of plough designed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, two wooden sticks are opened in a herringbone shape, and the coulter is fixed at the junction, and the lever principle can be used to easily plow the ground using manpower.

It is said that this is specially designed for children. With this lever plow, two teenage children are comparable to a ploughing ox.

There is also a hand-pulled plough specially designed for women, a crank of nearly two meters, and a single wheel, which can allow women to go into the field to plow, and three or two people are comparable to a ploughing ox.

And the people were given the land, and they got the seed for nothing, and they gave out this miraculous farm implement, and they all praised the heavenly family.

Under the propaganda of the working group on the division of land, Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen, the two brothers of the Heavenly Family, are like Xuanyuan alive, and they have been doing their best for the people for many years.

If it weren't for the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who got in the way, there would have been no people in the world who could not eat.

Even the agrarian revolution was propagated by the field division group as the policy of the Wanli Emperor many years ago, but it is a pity that corrupt officials obstructed it, and it has only been implemented so far.

The people of the Gyeonggi area praised the Ming royal family, and some even worshipped the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the Emperor of Wanli every day and respected them as gods.

Li Yan had long heard that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, was a carpenter emperor, and he knew that he was discouraged by his playthings, specializing in carving lacquerware, beds, and comb boxes, and ignoring the government all year round.

Who knew that he loved the people so much, and designed this kind of labor-saving farm tools, and it was rumored that the invincible five-arrow crossbow was also from the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

But the traitors are in charge, so that these kinds of shocking things are locked in the palace and cannot be saved.

When the army arrived at Shanhaiguan, Li Yan, who was full of doubts, couldn't hold back any longer, and after several reports, he finally waited for Chongzhen's will to meet him.

Li Yan walked into Chongzhen's study with a mortal heart, and got up after a hasty visit, and the vision surprised him again.

Chongzhen sat at the square table and dined, and there were only 2 side dishes and a bowl of noodles on the table.

The imperial diet was so coarse.

Chongzhen saw Li Yan in a daze and smiled: "What, hungry?" Why don't you come and eat together? ”

"The grass people don't dare!" Li Yan replied subconsciously.

"The grass people have something important to report." Li Yan straightened his clothes.

"I know you have something important, say it."

"The grass people are not called Li Sixteen."

"Yes."

"Grass Folk Li Yan."

"Well, go ahead."

"Caomin is Li Zicheng's military division, formerly known as Li Xin, his father Li Jingbai once served as the governor of Shandong and the title of secretary of the military department, Chongzhen was convicted in the early years of Wei Zhongxian's rebellion case to "befriend close servants, and secondary, three years in prison, and ransom for the people". ”

Tian Shouxin was taken aback when he heard this, and cautiously stared at Li Yan's every move, for fear that he would attack Chongzhen violently.

"On that day, judging by your bearing, I guessed that you were an important member of the thieves. If I don't dig deeper, if you don't hide, why will you kill yourself? Zhu Youjian took a sip of noodles.

"What the grass people have seen and heard in the past half month is very different from what they know in their lives, so that it is difficult to sleep and eat, and they must ask the ins and outs at the expense of this cheap life." Li Yan looked serious.

Zhu Youjian smiled dumbly, "Ask!" ”

"The hand-pulled plough and the lever plough are really made by the apocalypse?"

"Yes!"

"Is the agrarian revolution really an attempted policy of Wanli many years ago?"

"Yes!"

"Then why is it being implemented now when the country is ruined?"

Tian Shouxin was already annoyed when he saw Li Yan's questioning regardless of etiquette, and when he heard the words "the country is ruined and the family is ruined", he couldn't help it anymore, "Bold Li Xin!" ”

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said, "Do you think that in addition to letting the thieves into Beijing and waiting for the hundred officials to rebel, what other way can I confiscate the cultivated fields of the world in one fell swoop and distribute them to the displaced people?" ”

Li Yan was shocked when he heard this, "What, King Chuang attacked the Jingshi, you did it on purpose!" ”

Zhu Youjian was extremely thick-skinned, and laughed, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, the previous pot is already full of mice, no matter how difficult it is to eat, I can't think of using my strength to knock him over and cook it again?" ”

Li Yan's eyes widened, a good ruler is like cooking a small fresh, and a good one is recooking.

Zhu Youjian didn't give Li Yan a chance to speak, and said slowly: "The imperial court is erosive and in danger, but the Manchu Dynasty only knows how to fill the people with their own pockets, and I am heartbroken!"

Since the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the elite of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty has been lost, and the country is about to die. ”

"What a phoenix!" Li Yan admired.

Zhu Youjian was ready to be thick-skinned, ate a few bites of noodles, and continued: "I have been on the throne for 17 years, and I have been thinking about it every day. Hey, the people are bitter, but I won't be bitter?

How can I not know that the Liao salary hurts the people, and the salary hurts the country? But if not, could it be that I watched Jianyu enter the customs and slaughter the people? Watching the ancestors fight the overturn? ”

"Even so, the saint can be pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, meritocracy, and Zhongxing Daming." Li Yan didn't realize that he unconsciously changed his words and called Chongzhen a saint.

Tian Shouxin was also stunned, and after thinking about it, he immediately admired Chongzhen.

Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly: "Okay, if I make you the first assistant and let you go to the virtuous minister, Kuang Fu Sheji, what should you do?" ”

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, thinking about the civil and military forces that could be killed in all dynasties, and he really didn't know who was a virtuous minister for a while.

"Is it that you are in the army of thieves, in the army of thieves, and the previous thieves and Cao thieves, all of whom are virtuous ministers? Not a villain? Zhu Youjian asked.

"Only when I want to capture the past and hide from the world can I catch all the corrupt officials, defeat all the bad gentry and local tyrants, and let the people have land to grow and eat! You say yes or no! ”

"This ......," Li Yan was speechless in shock.

Zhu Youjian drank the noodles and laughed wildly in his heart, "Happy, bragging is happy!" ”

Li Yantong knelt down.

"The saint is like a god descending from heaven, and what he thinks and thinks is far beyond the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and the grass people admire it to the fullest. I implore the Holy Lord to let the grass people have a way to live, and let the grass people do something practical for the people of the world! ”

Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, and there was such an immediate effect on bragging?

This is Li Zicheng's backbone!

Surrendered so easily?

However, depending on his confession of identity today, with an attitude of mortality, it doesn't look like a fake.

"Believe it or not? Believe it or not? Believe it or not? Zhu Youjian began to brainstorm on his own.

Li Yan saw that Chongzhen was silent for a long time, and he didn't know what he meant, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Heh, I'm ready to do practical things for the people, and it's even more torturous than when I confessed to death just now. I'm afraid of dying in vain......" Li Yan comforted himself.

"Li Xin." Zhu Youjian said in a deep voice, "Open the city gate and welcome the king, and the king will not pay for food when he comes." But from your mouth? ”

Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew that he had passed the test. "It's the grass people's strategy."

"Good. You are all-round in civil and military affairs, and you have the heart to serve the country and the people, so I sent you to assist the king and assist in the division of the land. Let's be a propaganda commissioner by his side for the time being. ”

"Propaganda Commissioner? What the hell is this? Li Yan looked confused.

……

On the same day, Li Yan took the official document specially approved by Chongzhen and the work manual of the Propaganda Department, left Shanhaiguan on horseback, and returned to Beijing to take up his post.
