Fortunately, the cellar was not full of iron money, but also gold, silver and copper money, otherwise it would be tiring to move.

Perhaps frightened by Zhu Ming, Xiang Zhixian became much more generous.

The archers who went out of the city to help get money were paid hardship fees according to their duties, Zhang Guangdao got two pieces of money, Gu San got 1,500 yuan, Bai Sheng got 1,200 yuan, and the rest of the archers each received the same money.

More than 30 pieces of iron money were thrown out, and he thought to the magistrate that he could buy people's hearts.

But he completely thought about it!

The archers who went out of the city tonight were all from Shangbai Village, and Zhu Ming shouted out of the barracks. Xiang Zhixian was high above them, and it was too far away from them, no matter how much benefit the archers obtained, they would think that it was Zhu Ming who took them to make money.

Everyone took off their coats, wrapped iron money around their waists, and put on their clothes and hid them tightly.

It was already afternoon when I took the boat back to the city, and baskets of goods were carried from the wharf to the inner courtyard of the county government. Although it was covered with something, anyone who is not stupid knows that Xiang Zhixian must have made a windfall.

By the evening, it was all done, and everyone was tired enough.

Xiang Zhixian also ordered takeout in the restaurant, asked the store to deliver the food to his home, and treated them before happily sending them away.

"Wait until you get out first." Xiang Zhixian said to the slave.

Several servants bowed down and retreated, and only Xiang Zhixian was left in the house.

The cargo instantly took off all its disguise, rushed over and grabbed a handful of silver coins, held it in his hand and looked at it again and again. Picking up the few pieces of money again, he not only stroked it, but also put it under his nose to smell it, and the smell made him extremely intoxicated.

More than 1,000 acres of remote fields, even if all of them are sold cheaply, they can be sold for seven or eight hundred.

Coupled with cash, Xiang Zhixian got about 5,000 yuan this time.

Put it in Kaifeng, five thousand farts don't count.

But this is Xixiang County, Xiangzhi County only has 12 regular salaries, 4 additional salaries, and 4 stones of Lu rice per month, and another 2 hectares of vocational land to collect rent.

In such a remote and small county, there is no public money (entertainment expenses), and you have to pay for it yourself, and the gray income can only be intercepted from the summer and autumn grains (when the tax amount reaches ninety percent, it is called "breaking points", and the excess taxes can be disposed of by the officials themselves).

For more than half a year after taking office, Xiang Zhixian only earned more than 100 yuan of filial piety money in addition to his normal income.

The rent of two hectares of vocational land, as well as summer grain and excesses, have not been confiscated so far. Xiang Zhixian is shy in his pocket, and his family is so poor that he is about to run a mouse.

Now there are five thousand in front of him!

Gold, silver, iron, and even bronze, all charming cuties.

After killing the Zhu Zhuzhu book, the next tea smuggling will also send him filial piety money, and Xiang Zhixian is excited just thinking about it.

What Lu officials, what white outsiders, what black wind village, they can do whatever they want, and they are honest and not involved. Zhu Ming's threat made him unhappy, but it didn't matter, it was the right thing to bring the money back to his hometown alive.

Moreover, the rebellion case of the main book has been pacified, and the village of the rebels will be broken, which is a special political achievement!

That night, Xiang Zhixian did not let the concubines serve, and slept with gold and silver money in his arms.

……

On the way back to the school, Bai Sheng couldn't help but ask: "I got 1,200 yuan, how much did Brother Zhu get?" Why didn't you see you with it? ”

Zhu Ming said: "Xiang Zhixian is stingy, he feels distressed if he gives too much, and he is afraid that I will dislike him if he gives less." Therefore, he didn't give me a penny, and only allowed me the tea mountains and fields over there in Heifeng Village. ”

Zhang Guangdao said disdainfully: "Heifeng Village hasn't been attacked yet, this guy has made promises indiscriminately, I'm afraid that he will want to regret it then, Brother Zhu has to keep a few eyes." ”

"Well, what can be done? People are magistrates, and we are just little archers. Zhu Ming sighed.

Before he reached the gate of the school field, the news that Zhu Ming had not received the reward spread among the more than 30 archers.

Everyone was indignant and felt that Zhu Ming had suffered a loss.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Zhu Ming took people back to the school grounds, and the rest of the archers had already rested, and the area around the barracks was very quiet.

They were busy working day and night, and at this time they were so tired that they went into the Chase bunk to sleep without taking off their clothes.

When I woke up the next morning, there was still no one to order, and I could sleep whenever I wanted.

It wasn't until mid-morning that he came to put food with his servants.

Hand power is a miscellaneous errand in the county office, he serves carefully everywhere, and when he sees Zhu Ming, these temporary officers, he nods and bows.

Zhu Ming, Zhang Guangdao and Chen Ziyi are all heads, not only white rice with meat, but also a pot of rice wine.

The heads of the three ancient deputies, as well as the ten generals below, although they did not have rice wine to drink, they could also see the meat, and the rice was not mixed with sand.

As for the low-level archers, the food was even worse, and they could only drink two bowls of gruel.

Chen Ziyi felt that this arrangement was normal, he poured the rice wine on it, and asked with a smile: "You two, did you go to the magistrate yesterday to get the stolen goods?" ”

Zhang Guangdao was immediately upset for Zhu Ming: "Xiang Zhixian caught thousands of guan yesterday, but only gave me two, and the rest of the archers were only consistent." Brother Zhu didn't get half a penny, he only promised him the land property of Heifeng Village, and he didn't know if he could cash it out. Even if it is cashed out, I am afraid it will have to be discounted. ”

"This birdman, it's really a small-bellied chicken intestine, let's work for him in vain," Chen Ziyi had a worse impression of Xiang Zhixian, and comforted, "Brother Zhu, don't worry, I am fighting for my life, and I want to help you get those fields!" ”

"Brother Chen has a heart," Zhu Ming pointed to the archers who were receiving the meal, "The soldiers' training is quite physically demanding, how can they eat two thin meals a day?" We have to fight desperately, let the soldiers eat this, will they still fight for their lives? ”

Chen Ziyi shook his head and said, "It's just an errand to deal with, they just want to save their lives." ”

"That's it," Zhu Ming said, "they are all archers who enlist together, the elder brother of the Chen family is a brother, and those archers are also brothers." Since the brother was deprived of food, can the elder brother of the Chen family sit idly by? ”

Chen Ziyi thought about it seriously, it was indeed such a truth, nodded and said, "I have to ask the magistrate to allocate more money and food." ”

Zhu Ming said: "No matter how much money and grain the county has allocated, it has also been deducted by those officials, so let's make trouble with him for the time being." ”

"What's the fuss?" Chen Ziyi asked.

"Look at me!" Zhu Ming stood up suddenly.

He walked up to the hand that was putting the rice, greeted him with a smile, and hurriedly asked, "Zhu Dutou, but the food is not enough?" I'll have some more tomorrow. ”

Zhu Ming pointed to the gruel in the bucket and asked, "We fought with all our lives two days ago, and we killed the anti-thief Zhu Zhu's main book." School field archers, which one does not have merit and hard work? This still has to be practiced every day, and then you have to fight hard with the thieves in Heifeng Village, so you let your brothers eat this kind of pig food? ”

The low-level archers who lined up to receive the porridge looked at their hands together.

They already had complaints in their hearts, but they dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but at this moment, with Zhu Ming taking the lead, dissatisfaction was immediately triggered.

The hand strength smiled vigorously: "Dutou, I am a handyman who should be on errands, and I can't turn into big fish and meat if I don't give enough money and food." ”

Zhu Ming rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "Since you can't be the master, let the one who can be the master come, and only give you two quarters of an hour." Don't get out of here! ”

Frightened, he ran out of the school yard and on the street, he really didn't know who to look for.

After some grinding, he came to the grain depot and said to Douzi: "The archer thinks the food is unpalatable, so let me give more money and food." ”

Douzi is the warehouse manager of the grain depot, and it also belongs to the wheel officer, and sneered: "I am only looking at the grain, and I am not in charge of the grain, and the boss does not speak, how dare I give more grain?" ”

Helplessly, he turned around and left, neither daring to go to the county office to ask for money and food, nor daring to go back to the school to face the group of archers.

But he said that in the school grounds, Zhu Ming called more than 300 archers over and spoke: "A meal in the morning and evening, it's all thin, can you eat enough?" ”

"Can't get enough to eat! Don't say that school drills are busy farming in the countryside, and strong laborers must be eaten and dried. ”

"It's not just thin, it's also mixed with sand in the porridge!"

"The dishes are not good, they are all pickles."

"I killed a thief that day, and I gave my life to the magistrate in vain!"

“……”

The archers became noisy and vented their dissatisfaction, at first they only complained, and gradually began to roar.

Zhu Ming poured the white rice he ate into the wooden bucket of gruel, and poured the meat into the wooden basin with the pickles.

He said to the archers, "Although I have become the head of the capital, I am like the big guys, and I am all archers recruited from the country." There is a saying in an ancient book, how can it be said that there is no clothes, and you are in the same robe with the son. Meaning, don't say you don't have clothes, my clothes are your clothes. I have clothes to wear, so I won't let you freeze to death. This is the comrade, this is the robe brother! Would you like to be my brothers? ”

"I do!" Bai Sheng shouted, the first to cheer.

"I'm willing too!"

"I want to be a brother with Zhu Dutou!"

"Count me in one!"

“……”

The archers became more and more excited, and Zhu Ming said: "Those who have already received the food are poured back into the bucket, and we will divide it again." In ancient times, there were people who were with the son, and now there are people who eat with the son! ”

Bai Sheng, as a tenth general, also ate rice, and he quickly poured his dry rice into the porridge in the bucket.

Seeing this, the low-level archers also stepped forward one after another and poured back all the food they had received.

"Righteous enough!"

Zhang Guangdao exclaimed and came over with food. The deputy capital and the ten generals under him naturally did the same.

Those prodigals all looked at Chen Ziyi.

"Good means, I'll accompany you to do it." Chen Ziyi also took out his own food, and those prodigals immediately followed.

Chen Ziyi not only read the book, but also knew the allusion of Wu Qi's sucking.

How could he not understand Zhu Ming's practice of inviting people to buy people's hearts?

He can do the same, but he can't. Because the archers are provisional, and they will be disbanded after the bandits are suppressed, why bother to make trouble with the county officials for the sake of a few peasants?

However, since Zhu Ming is making trouble, Chen Ziyi is also willing to accompany him, and his heart is more important than anything else.

Zhu Ming personally picked up the big spoon, mixed the dry rice and porridge, mixed the meat and pickles, and shouted loudly: "Come here to get the rice!" ”

The atmosphere of the school field instantly became cheerful.

It's still thin, but the feeling is different.

After everyone finished receiving the meal, Zhu Ming said again: "If you have food, you should eat together, and if you have wine, you should drink it together!" ”

He took a sip from the flask and handed it to the archer next to him.

The archer also took a sip and passed it down immediately.

Everyone is very conscious, just to taste the taste, because there is so little wine.

Even if you can only taste it, it's like drinking honey, and it feels delicious.

The temporary archers who are discouraged by the army finally have a little taste of the army, and they have a heart in the matter of eating.

At this moment, they only recognize Zhu Ming, and there is no county and government in their eyes, because Zhu Ming can take them to eat meat and drink wine.

"Poof......"

After everyone finished eating, Zhu Ming smashed the rice bowl and roared angrily: "If you don't come back, you won't be able to get money and food." Wait and go with me to the county office, you can't let the brothers eat dry, I don't deserve this head! Shout with me, break into the county office, and eat dry rice! ”

"Break into the county government and eat dry rice!"

"Break into the county government and eat dry rice!"

“……”

More than 300 archers shouted in unison.

A few days ago, they would never dare to do this, and the county government was heaven for them.

But after a fight, these people have seen blood. Now that he has been instigated by Zhu Ming, he has suddenly become bolder, not to mention that the sky is falling and Zhu Ming is on top of him.

Zhu Ming said again: "Don't bring weapons, that would be a rebellion, let's just go to make trouble." Come with me empty-handed! ”

Chen Ziyi asked Zhang Guangdao in a low voice: "What is the origin of this Brother Zhu?" ”

"He is a hero." Zhang Guangdao replied.

"Haha, he is indeed a hero," Chen Ziyi laughed, "I will accompany him to make a mess today." ”

More than 300 archers left the school field and went straight to the gate of the county government.
