Chapter 150: I Have Thirty-Three Foot Battalions, How Many Powerful Men Are There?

He Xinyin knelt on the ground, trembling and explained how many people were standing behind him, Sichuan, Huguang, Nanya, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, all of them had his supporters, and there were many supporters, and all of them were named by the gentlemen and powerful men of the herdsmen of Antu.

Zhu Yijun listened calmly to He Xinyin's chatter, and then asked Tiqi to pull He Xinyin down, with a heavy face.

"The problem is much worse than expected." Zhu Yijun said very solemnly to Zhang Juzheng.

Behind He Xinyin is a behemoth, and the purpose of them funding people like He Xinyin to shake their lips around is to create a confrontational wind and public opinion, so that the people and the court are completely opposed, which is their goal.

Once this opposition is fully achieved, then the people must rely on the powerful to get rid of the harshness of the imperial court; And the court rules the people, and it must rely on the powerful people all over the country.

This made Zhu Yijun more fully understand the bottom-up and top-down of power, as well as the root cause of the exhaustion of the country.

"Now it seems that it is not Wang Chonggu who is radical, but the ministers who are conservative." Zhang Juzheng rarely affirmed Wang Chonggu's decision in governance, and Wang Chonggu asked the imperial court to issue a strict ban on destroying the world's unofficial academies and prohibiting the gathering of apprentices to give lectures; If you get a thief, you will be killed, and you will be in the right world!

And this decree, in the previous view, was Wang Chonggu's radical behavior from the position of the victim, but now it seems that Zhang Juzheng's understanding of the harm is not deep enough, and his understanding of this contradiction is not as good as Wang Chonggu's empathy.

Qi Jiguang's gaze was circulating, and he said very firmly: "Your Majesty, please order the Jingying to go to Liaodong to attack the barbarian tribes." ”

Qi Jiguang used his actions to support any decision of His Majesty the Emperor, and Jingying wanted to use victory after victory to maintain His Majesty's authority and deter the world's powerful tycoons from encroaching on His Majesty.

"In the minister's view, it is nothing more than that Liaodong and Northwest have not won for more than ten years, and people's hearts are fluctuating and restless, which gives these villains a chance to take advantage of, if they win the war, and win a big victory, these demons and monsters will hide and look for the next respite." Qi Jiguang believes that the defeat of the northwest and Liaodong for many years has weakened the cohesion of the national dynasty.

It would be nice to win it back.

Just like what Qi Jiguang did in the southeast back then, if the Ming army can win, everything will be fine.

Zhao Mengyou bowed his head and said: "The minister asked for orders to dig three feet into the ground to prevent future troubles from the family of Quanhao confessed by He Xinyin." ”

slandered the emperor's biological mother, and these supporters behind He Xinyin also deserve to die.

"Well, it's a big deal that I have issued an edict to seal my guilt, I am a child, I don't understand the severity, Mr. persuaded me, but I didn't persuade it." Zhu Yijun stood up and said with his hand, he agreed to Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, and Zhao Mengyou's proposal, among which Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang's idea had to go through court discussion, and Zhao Mengyou's proposal could be realized now.

"People, you can't live too gentlemanly, wouldn't that villain be so rampant? To deal with villains, it does require some villain means. Zhu Yijun held his hand, took square steps, and slowly left.

He Xinyin did not make false accusations, because according to He Xinyin's confession, the real purpose of the people behind this demonic wind was to oppose the court's debt collection.

It is the super doubling of the little emperor before, Luo Bingliang was in the south of the government to audit taxes, the courtiers played and said to be benevolent, to be righteous, not to speak of profit, and Luo Bingliang should not be taxed by thousands of households, and the court decided to double the super and collect the past tax arrears.

This is just a silhouette of the bonded war of the Ming court.

And He Xinyin, as a typical figure of strict governance, was pinned on by the powerful people, hoping that He Xinyin could create enough wind public opinion, so that Zhang Juzheng was tired of coping, and had no time to clean up, clean up the encroachment, return the land, collect debts, etc.

He Xinyin was caught too quickly, so that the powerful people couldn't react.

The horsemen of Beizhen Fusi were still repeatedly interrogating whether there were any fish that had slipped through the net, but soon a wind rose in the middle of the court, and He Xinyin was portrayed as a hero against power, and this round of shaping was extremely successful.

The portrayal of this hero is all-round.

He Xinyin is an actor who has never been done before or since, and Wang Yangming is a staunch supporter of the unity of learning, knowledge and action. Because He Xinyin has built his own home Liangfang into a Datong world, where everyone is virtuous, everyone respects the elderly, everyone loves the young, everywhere is uneven, and everywhere is food and clothing.

He Xinyin's real name is Liang Ruyuan, he founded the Convergence Hall in Liangfang, Ji'an's hometown, and appointed the rate of teaching and raising to be responsible for education and support, He Xinyin knows, and practices his own heart, He Xinyin eliminates harm for the country and assassinates Yan Song, this is not the unity of knowledge and action?

He Xinyin, is the first person in ancient and modern towns, is the last man of the Ming Dynasty, he is for the country and the people, is the great man of chivalry, for the country he assassinated Yan Song, for the small people to open his eyes, his discourse is all for the small people to speak, the door of the people on the self-teacher to protect the minister, under the arrest of Shishu Qiao Tao peasant officials, there is no class, edification.

The imperial court should have the obligation to protect He Xinyin, stop and persuade the emperor to stop the cruelty and atrocity against He Xinyin, and the Taoist officials must be open because of He Xinyin, the reason is: there are talents for the country and the people, because Kuang Zheng did not listen, but was killed, and there was no more righteousness in the world.

What He Xinyin said, the court should reflect, so many Ming dukes, He Xinyin does not attack, only attacks you Zhang Juzheng alone, regardless of what He Xinyin did right, isn't there anything wrong with you Zhang Juzheng?

Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant of the dynasty, was extremely harsh and cunning when he was governing, and He Xinyin rose up to fight back, shouldn't it?

In this world, no one can speak!

Zhu Yijun is holding a small cube metal ingot of one and a half inches in his hand, copper, tin, arsenic alloy, pure white, he is studying, how to make a clairvoyant mirror with a larger magnification more accurately, this time he chose not a translucent mirror, but a parabolic concave mirror, the production of a parabolic mirror requires any light shining on any point on this parabolic mirror, and its reflected light must pass through the focus.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you outside the palace." Zhang Hong reminded His Majesty in a low voice that Zhang Juzheng was asking to see him.

Zhu Yijun put down the metal block in his hand, nodded and said, "Xuan." ”

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty safe?" Zhang Juzheng saluted.

"I'm sorry, sir." Zhu Yijun smiled and asked, "Sir, come on, I have found something interesting." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Juzheng was originally looking for the little emperor to ventilate in advance, about the wind power public opinion in the court, Zhang Juzheng was somewhat worried about the emperor's state, and the untouchables always liked to tear up all the good things in the world, disappointing the emperor, and finally despairing.

And Zhang Juzheng was surprised to find that the little emperor did not have any disappointment, and was still tirelessly pursuing the infinite reason of all things.

"Sit down, sit down." Zhu Yijun let Zhang Juzheng sit in the position he was sitting in just now.

"Your Majesty, ministers can't sit, this is Your Majesty's chair." Zhang Juzheng insisted on refusing to sit, joking, this is the emperor who has sat on a stool, this kind of deference, Zhang Juzheng still has it.

During the Jingtai period, Emperor Jingtai went to the six corridors to inspect, sat on a stool, and then no one dared to sit on the stool in the six corridors, after Emperor Jingtai knew, he went to the six yamen or the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and never sat down again, just not to cause chaos to the courtiers, Emperor Jingtai is undoubtedly a benevolent monarch, and later he was changed by Ming Yingzong.

It is difficult for Renjun to protect himself.

Zhu Yijun also shook his head when he heard this, and he said to Zhang Hong: "Oh, Zhang Hong is going to move a stool!" ”

"Obey." Zhang Hong hurriedly moved a stool and put it in front of the table, Zhu Yijun picked up the pen and paper in his hand and said: "Sir, look at this curve, we knew before that the angle of incidence of light is equal to the angle of reflection, so I want to find a curve, so that all the light that is shot at the mirror can be focused on one point, so that in the position of the focus, put a mirror, you can magnify the object." ”

Zhang Juzheng can understand this sentence, the refractor telescope has a strong chromatic aberration, which is the reason why the moon is red when Zhang Juzheng observes the moon, and it is too difficult to expand the magnification, because the grinding glass, the bigger the more difficult it is to grind, and to solve the problem of chromatic aberration and convex lens grinding, the little emperor once put forward the idea of replacing the refractor with a reflector.

But what kind of surface this mirror should be has always been a headache.

"When Uncle Huang talked about circumcision, he talked about the idea of infinite cutting, and I thought, if we cut this curve infinitely into a small inclined mirror one after another, doesn't that mean that we can find this curve?" Zhu Yijun took out its design drawings.

In fact, it is very simple, a parallel beam of light comes in, first two, three, then ten hundred, and finally draws a smooth parabola.

Zhang Juzheng was able to understand when he came here, and said with some doubts: "If you look for it like this, a craftsman may not be able to make such a concave mirror in his life." ”

Zhu Yijun took out a small set of rulers and said with a smile: "No need to be so troublesome, sir, look at this." ”

"In fact, it is not very difficult to find this curve, Mr. look, and then draw a quasi-line, the distance from any point on the curve to the quasi-line is equal to the distance to the focal point, and the problem is converted into a set of points that find the same distance between the fixed line and the fixed point."

"All you need is a triangle."

Zhu Yijun took a right-angled triangle plate, passed the right-angled edge through the focus, and then the vertex of the right-angle was always in a straight line, and the line was drawn along the right-angled edge, and the right-angled side swept was a standard parabola.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng explained the principle in detail.

Zhang Juzheng was surprised, then picked up the paper and tried it, thought for a while and said, "Actually, you can draw like this." ”

Zhang Juzheng's painting method is more cumbersome, he uses the principle of the vertical line at any point on the point and straight line to draw, maybe a craftsman to paint for a few days, but the concave mirror will be more accurate, the light will be more concentrated, and finally make the image clearer.

"Sir, I'm confused." Zhu Yijun looked at the drawings and said, "Sir, what is the relationship between the magnification of the object and the distance between the focal point and the fixed line?" ”

"This, this..."Zhang Juzheng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, wait for the ministers to study one or two, and then answer Your Majesty." ”

The little emperor suddenly smashed over with a sledgehammer, Zhang Juzheng didn't know what kind of relationship it was, it took a long time to study, this is an arithmetic problem, shouldn't you go to the mad Zhu Zaiyu to answer?

Zhang Juzheng said that he is a Chinese and political science teacher, not a mathematics teacher and a physics teacher! Your Majesty, please ask the math teacher questions!

Zhu Yijun drew lines on the small metal block and handed it to Zhang Hong, asking him to let the War Bureau grind out the new clairfront mirror.

"Ah, by the way, what is the matter with the gentleman?" Only then did Zhu Yijun remember that Zhang Juzheng had a serious business, not to study rulers and gauges to draw parabolas and reflective clairvoyants.

"Nanya's debt collection has caused a violent backlash, and the officials in the court seem to be rescuing He Xinyin, but they are looking for the debt." Zhang Ju talked about state affairs with a serious face, and he wanted to tell the little emperor the real purpose of these people.

He Xinyin is a reason, if He Xinyin can be rescued, it means that he can oppose the collection of debts and the tax of the imperial court.

Zhu Yijun clearly knew the fundamental purpose of these people, and said with a smile: "Is Mr. worried that I will be disappointed, so I came to take a look?" Most of the officials in the court have become the tongues of the powerful and powerful, openly disobeying the decree of the court, but they dare not refuse the invitation of the private family, which is what Mr. said for a while. ”

"If I say that I am not disappointed, it is false, but I have known their faces for a long time, so I am not so disappointed."

"Powerful people, how many foot camps are there? I have three infantry battalions, and Qi Shuai has thirty infantry battalions in Jizhou, Yongping, and Shanhaiguan. ”

"The secretary of the Criminal Department is Wang Chonggu, what is his attitude?"

Zhang Ju said with a strange face: "Wang Sikou said that He Xinyin must die!" Send him to the hospital to die, send the vegetable market to kill the head, He Xinyin is not dead, the world is unstable, Wang Sikou is the victim. ”

He Xinyin is a symbol, a symbol of killing a king and killing a father without a king.

"What is the attitude of Lu Guangzu, the secretary of Dali Temple?" Zhu Yijun asked another key gentleman, the Three Law Division, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, He Xinyin has no official status, and no matter how fierce the official is called, it has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said, "What Lu Tingwei means is, kill." ”

Lu Guangzu is Zhang Juzheng's fellow list, and he is also a follower, He Xinyin's name, Lu Guangzu has long heard of it, this kind of person is infinitely harmful.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Then don't worry, hide this He Xin, pick up this fire, find out the officials in the court who dare to disobey the decree of the court and dare not disobey the private invitation, and then use the examination method to see how these officials do in the examination, if they do not do well, they will all be dismissed." ”

"Obey." Zhang Juzheng needs to clearly know the emperor's attitude, if His Majesty wants appeasement, Zhang Juzheng also has a way to appease, if His Majesty wants to handle this case to the end and completely intensify this contradiction, Zhang Juzheng also has a way.

It all depends on the attitude of the emperor.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Sir, I heard Qi Shuai say that among this army, traitors are hated the most, because these traitors will leak the secrets of the march, and they are killing their lives and harming the lives of their comrades, so all those who are conspired with will be dealt with by military law, and then reported to the court." ”

"The officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces under this great tomorrow, how can this not be the truth? Like their peers, the officials also need to be cleaned up, so they will use this incident to find out those people and clean them out once and for all. ”

"Sir, there are some things that you should not be too conservative about."

"Obey the holy commandments." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again.

In the matter of He Xinyin, Zhang Juzheng's handling is indeed conservative, conservative is good, conservative can maintain stability, especially when the lord is in doubt, stability is greater than everything, and it is more difficult to implement the new policy in stability;

And radical also has the advantage of being radical, you can flood the water, and then attack the fortification, everything depends on the choice.

Zhang Juzheng did not choose to be radical, but also because He Xinyin had old grudges with him Zhang Juzheng, so he had some scruples about doing things.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining, just like the smile of the little emperor, Zhu Yijun came to the Wenhua Hall and routinely listened to the government at the imperial gate.

"Excuse me, let's discuss." The reason why Zhu Yijun is so happy is because the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty far exceeded Zhu Yijun's imagination, and it only took one day for the reflector surface of a parabolic concave mirror to be ready, which was ninety-three years ahead of Taixi's reflective clairvoyant.

Of course, this can't be compared with Zu Chongzhi and Zu Yu who are more than a thousand years ahead, but it is already precious.

Zhang Juzheng first took out a book and said: "Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, wants to ban the destruction of non-official academies in the world and prohibit the gathering of disciples to give lectures, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Wang Chonggu heard that this was actually the case, he immediately said: "Look, look, I said a long time ago, these cheap people, you can not give them a little color, they will kick their noses in the face!" Look, look, I'll be right. ”

"These lowly Confucians, why do they run in seclusion every day, he gathers and openly violates the county hall, lynching and killing six people, everything he says is shaking his lips and drumming his tongue, this kind of thing, he is cheaper to send to the hospital, and he is rescued?"

"Destroyed, the face of the new Bowang Shouren has been lost by them!"

Zhang Juzheng sorted it out and said: "There are a total of sixty-four academies, and the Yamen of the Criminal Department is in charge?" ”

"Well said!" Wang Chonggu agreed without any hesitation.

Wan Shihe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The matter of forbidding the gathering of disciples to teach should be annotated by Wang Yangming's mind and set out the official style, but anyone who does not speak according to the official style, only talks about conscience, and does not talk about the unity of knowledge and action, it is a heresy, and they cannot be allowed to distort the doctrine of Xinjian Bo like this, and if they continue to distort it like this, Xinjian Bo may be difficult to see under the spring." ”

"Then the Ministry of Rites is going to do it?" Zhang Juzheng pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Does the great uncle think it is feasible?" Originally, as a person of the heart school, I should have picked up this burden, but because the state affairs are busy, there will be Uncle Lao. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's a trivial matter, how to say it, I also read the contradiction." Wan Shihe agreed with a smile on his face, and he loved to hear people call him Uncle Dazong.

"The Ministry of Officials, the law of obfuscation, must be implemented within the year, this is the cabinet of the Ministry of Officials." Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Han and explained an errand, he did not ask Zhang Han's opinion, but arranged the decree that had already been passed by the court and must not be disobeyed.

Zhang Juzheng found a very interesting phenomenon in Wenyuan Pavilion, that is, why the court officials who are running in seclusion, under the examination law, most of them are inferior.

The Ming Dynasty was admitted to a total of nine grades, the upper third class, the middle third class, the lower third class, the upper third class was promoted, the middle third class was retained, and most of the lower three classes had to be dismissed and deprived of their official bodies, and the lower class was basically equated with corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

This list is highly overlapping, so the emperor confessed to clear the officials who served as officials for the powerful and wealthy gentry from the court, and only need to strictly implement the examination law, and it can be done.

"Wang Sikou's recital, does anyone have any objections?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

Tan Lun leaned forward and said: "Wang Sikou's book is because of He Xin's hidden case, He Xin's hidden case implicates the public, and it is difficult for Tiqi to support 600 people alone, can a group of soldiers be selected from Jingying and the three towns of Jizhou?" These powerful gentlemen have raised a lot of domestic slaves. ”

"I think it is advisable to choose from the distant marquis of Duntai who do not collect the sentry at night, they are loyal to the country, otherwise they will not go deep into the grassland camp to investigate the enemy."

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a while, the number of Ti Riders was too small, he looked at Zhao Mengyou and asked, "What does Ti Shuai think?" ”

"I have no opinion." Zhao Mengyou said with a smile: "Expanding the number of horsemen, this is the first time since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, won't I be on the same level as Ji Gang in the future?" When the princes killed me, it can't be said that I was more of an outlaw, this was the proposal of the princes. ”

The reason why Zhao Mengyou said this is that in the world view of Confucianism, the marquis of Duntai, who did not collect the sentry at night in the camp, was an outlaw.

Ji Gang's death was that he concealed the case of Emperor Chengzu on a blank paper, did not make an edict, did not arrest people by himself, and was finally disposed of by Emperor Chengzu, and Ji Gang had a crime of saving more lives, that is, expanding the number of horsemen without permission, so Zhao Mengyou explained that when the public killed him, the charge of saving more lives must not be detained on his head.

It was passed by the court.

Zhang Juzheng wrote down again, wrote his disposal opinions on the floating ticket, and submitted them to the imperial front.

Zhu Yijun picked up the seal ribbon of the treasure of Wanli, read it carefully, printed it, and then said: "It's better to be a gentleman and a master." ”

The little emperor once again showed his dissatisfaction with Zhang Han, listening to Zhang Juzheng's meaning, Zhang Han still wanted to wait until He Xinyin's case had a result, and then implement the law of obfuscation, isn't this a blatant disobedience to the clear will?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "The most taboo in state affairs is that there are many political affairs, and if the minister is in charge of the country again, I am afraid that there is a danger of overturning." ”

Zhang Juzheng's power is big enough, no matter how big it is, he can't control what his subordinate Zhang Danghui will do, and this Yuan Fu is just right.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Han, this wolf ambition is not even as good as Wan Shihe, he said gently: "Then according to what Mr. said." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and thanked him.

"The Beijing camp is opened, go to Liaodong, and attack the barbarian tribes together, Your Majesty has reviewed: Qi Shuai is hard." Zhang Juzheng turned out a notebook, this is Qi Jiguang's notebook, and now the general army of the Beijing camp can't be evacuated by the military department, and it is directly sent to the emperor, so Zhang Juzheng got this notebook, which has the emperor's clear will.

Qi Shuai worked hard.

"The opening of the Beijing camp has always been the military affairs of the governor of the Ministry of War, Your Majesty is benevolent, and the minister is unwell, let the left waiter Liang Menglong go on his behalf, can the minister go and see? If you don't oversee military affairs, you don't fight, you just go and see. As soon as Tan Lun heard that there was a battle to be fought, he clamored to join in the fun.

Zhu Yijun looked at Tan Lun and said with a solemn face: "Da Sima's words, do Da Sima himself believe it?" Da Sima is the military secretary of the dynasty, and his body is related to the vitality of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not a child's play. ”

Tan Lun whispered: "Wu Baipeng, Liang Menglong, and Liu Yingjie are all very good, and they are not indispensable ministers. ”

Zhu Yijun was helpless, waved his hand and said, "No, this matter will not be discussed again." ”

"Obey." Tan Lun could only sigh and accept his life, he was afraid that there would be no war to fight in this life, he really wanted to go, even if it was to see, but the emperor just wouldn't let him.

"Is there a problem with the household quartermaster?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Guoguang, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Wang Guoguang looked at Qi Jiguang and said: "This year, the household department and the military department have worked together to supervise the construction, and 1,500 chariots in the main compartment and side compartment have been delivered to the Beijing camp in full, and I hope that the general can triumph and show off the prestige of our country!" ”

In the past, the household department was the most opposed, but the household department did not oppose it at all, and also built 1,500 chariots for Qi Jiguang, the main compartment and the partial compartment are two chariot specifications, one is a heavy vehicle, and the other is a light vehicle.

Taking the main car as an example, each car is equipped with 2 big Franc machines, each equipped with 9 sub-guns, and 256 Franc machines in the whole camp;

The bird gun hand is equipped with 1 bird gun, and the whole camp has 512 bird guns; Each rocket operator was equipped with 60 rockets, and the whole battalion had a total of 15,360 rockets, which was the firepower of an infantry battalion.

According to Qi Jiguang's original plan, Daming's scooter riding camp, each heavy vehicle big Buddha Lang machine has one machine, two medium Buddha Lang machines, two bird guns, two ground beads, two Yongzhu cannons, ten target fast guns, and stronger firepower, but with practice, the firepower seems to be stronger, but the flexibility is reduced, and... The imperial court didn't have that much money to equip him with such a luxurious chariot, so he gave up.

The main thing is still poor.

There are only three infantry battalions in the Beijing camp, which is the best soldier among the elite soldiers.

"Don't dare to say anything else, I still have some ability to fight." Qi Jiguang said with a smile.

"Uncle Zong, what is your opinion on the matter of fighting?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wan Shihe and asked.

Wan Shihe said a little helplessly: "Rouyuan people are one of the nine dimensions of the world, but if they are too soft, it doesn't work, they can only be said to be barbarian wolf-faced beasts, and they are afraid of power and virtue." ”

Wan Shihe wanted to talk about the Rouyuan people, he wanted the Rouyuan people, and the distant people did not cooperate with him, so could he not kneel to the north in front of the Altan Khan, the barbarian Chahan Khan, knelt on the ground, and said: Please, let me be soft?

To show off the power of the world is to deter the small groups in the world, and the imperial court still has an absolute machine of violence, and has the right to use violence legally.

I didn't understand, so I asked Ge Shouli with some doubts and said: "Let's be so harsh, if Quan Hao forms a foot battalion and openly rebels, how will the court respond?" ”

Hai Rui said with a smile: "Ge Zongxian thinks too much. ”

"Oh? Why do I think too much? Ge Shouli asked.

In order to gain a reputation for a while, he would rather resist the edict of the imperial court than dare to hang the slander of the vulgar; It is better to violate the law and discipline of the public than to violate the private request. These are Zhang Juzheng's original words. Ask for a monthly pass, woo!!!
