Another bumper harvest was achieved, and Zhu Yixi was extremely satisfied.
However, the name of the bandit may be resounding throughout Chang'an County and Xi'an City, so it can no longer be used for the time being.
From Zhu Yi to Zhu Shi, plus Zhu Mou, Zhu Meng, and Zhu Jing, almost everyone participated. It was under his planning that everything went smoothly.
So, each person recorded thirty taels of gold again in the account book.
After being properly placed in the basement, Zhu Yixi slept peacefully.
The next day, he was awakened by the noise.
"what happened?"
"The sect master is from the county government. Wanfu reported it to the government last night, and the officers are going door to door to investigate!"
Thirteen smiled and said: "Knowing your identity, the officer just took a look and left."
Zhu Yixi also smiled, took the willow branch from Thirteen's hand, grabbed a handful of salt, and started tinkering with it in his mouth.
After rinsing his mouth, he said: "This business is not easy to do, let's take a rest for a while!"
"Okay!" Thirteen nodded quickly. He had always obeyed the sect master's words.
"Sect Master, there is a temple fair at Ci'en Temple today. Do you want to go shopping?" Thirteen showed an excited expression.
"Temple fair?" Zhu Yixi became interested. After a month of busy work, he really didn't take a break. It was time to combine work and rest.
Just when he was about to leave, an order came from the Governor's Mansion, asking him to go outside the city gate to welcome the arrival of the supervisory army.
"That's true!" Zhu Yixi was quite irritable, as she couldn't help herself in officialdom.
"Thirteen, take the horse, I'm going to meet the supervisor."
Then, after practicing equestrian for a month, he finally looked presentable, dressed in official uniform, and went outside the city.
The scene outside the city was extremely lively.
Headed by Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, Shaanxi governor Feng Shikong, inspector Huang Wei, commander Cui Eryuan, Xi'an prefect Jian Yuanrui, etc., as well as powerful generals such as Luo Shangwen, Niu Chenghu, Gao Jie, and Bai Guangen in the Qin army also personally welcomed him.
Zhu Yixi is no exception.
Thousands of people came in force, and the supervisory army, who came from all walks of life, saw it with their own eyes and found it extremely useful.
Sun Chuanting gave him face, so he naturally gave in a bit.
There was a smile on the gray face, and for a while, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
Zhu Yixi saw it in his eyes and thought in his heart that this supervisor represented the will of Emperor Chongzhen.
Obviously, Sun Chuanting had disobeyed orders and sent troops many times, which had made Emperor Chongzhen unhappy, and he even sent supervisory troops to directly convey the emperor's orders.
But, similarly, Sun Chuanting is also a stubborn person. Qingtian, who dared to act without hesitation even in the late Ming Dynasty, would he be afraid of the small supervisory army?
The current large-scale formation seems to be a welcome, but is it not a deterrent?
It's no wonder that Sun Chuanting did this. If the emperor hadn't blindly directed the wars for so many years, Li Zicheng would have been finished long ago. Why is he so corrupt?
The scene was over before I could finish thinking about all my complaints.
After finishing his work, Zhu Yixi lost some interest and continued to visit the temple fair at Ci'en Temple.
For the city of Xi'an that has been in decline for many years, perhaps the temple fair is the only bright spot!
…
Sun Chuanting welcomed Su Jing, the supervisor of the army, to the restaurant and held a banquet in honor of him.
The military attachés were not qualified to accompany him, but the civilian officials did not have much of an interest. Instead, they talked and laughed.
Su Jing drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Let's have more banquets with the Governor. After traveling thousands of miles, we can finally take a break."
"With the arrival of the supervisory army, Xi'an Mansion is in full bloom!" Governor Feng Shikong couldn't help but smile:
"I'll give you a toast!"
"Okay!" Su Jing smiled and took a drink.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became lively and the wine was intoxicating. At some point, the topic of big head plague came up.
Su Jing couldn't help but turned pale and said: "There are hundreds of corpses pulled out every day in the city. People in the capital are panicked. It is really a tragedy in the world."
Sun Chuanting couldn't help but say: "The same is true in northern Shaanxi. Drought, plague, and banditry are indescribable."
The atmosphere gradually became depressed.
Now, even the most loyal civil servants feel that the Ming Dynasty is about to collapse.
As the saying goes, during the Chongzhen years, countless droughts, plagues, and foreign invasions sapped the spirit of too many people.
At this time, Su Jing looked at everyone, sighed, and said: "There is news from the south. In the first month of the first month, the intruder named himself Marshal, changed Xiangyang to Xiangjing, and established officials and officials. When the emperor heard about it, he sighed with sorrow all night long."
Sun Chuanting's face instantly darkened.
Governor Feng Shikong said hurriedly: "The intruders are raging, but they are like grasshoppers after autumn. They cannot jump for a long time. The governor trains troops day and night without slacking off."
As he spoke, he said excitedly: "Last month, 20,000 chariots were formed. We can deal with intruders easily."
"Really? Governor Sun is so capable?"
Su Jing was a little surprised and said hurriedly: "The governor has been training troops for half a year and it has achieved results. I wonder when we can leave Tongguan eastward?"
Sun Chuanting frowned, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "There is no rush."
The civil servants were silent, not daring to speak to each other.
Su Jing was anxious and said hurriedly: "The intruders are powerful. If we continue to sit back and ignore them, I'm afraid the world will be corrupted."
"Nowadays, we are all new soldiers, so they can easily capture other bandits. However, most of the intruders are old thieves, so we should not use soldiers lightly."
Sun Chuanting glanced at him sideways, and Su Jing was startled, obviously frightened.
At this moment, he said calmly: "Now that the time has come, it is not easy to have elite soldiers, and it is even more difficult to deal with the old thieves' elite troops."
"Yes, but the emperor is anxious in the capital..."
"What's the use of being anxious?"
Sun Chuanting stood up, his eyes were like torches, and he said sternly: "If urgency was useful, the world would be at peace long ago."
"Is it possible that one hundred thousand Qin troops will die with just a word of urgency?"
As he said this, Sun Chuanting stared blankly. Su Jing was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was speechless.
The other civil servants were also shocked. They rarely saw Sun Chuanting's angry eyes.
"Sorry, I'm rude, you can continue eating!"
Sun Chuanting waved his sleeves, turned and left, leaving behind the astonished officials and the frightened supervisors.
Sun Chuanting returned home angrily, his face flushed, and his anger lingered for a long time.
The stepmother Zhang came out, brought a cup of tea, and softly comforted her: "Why? Aren't you going to greet the supervisors?"
"What kind of broken prison army!" Sun Chuanting heard this and cursed angrily: "As soon as we got to the banquet, he kept urging us to send out troops. He thought that the soldiers and horses could be sent out in one day just by touching their lips?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red: "The court thought that I cherished feathers and refused to send troops, and even called me a rebellious minister. Who knows, how could I be a rival to the thieves with hundreds of thousands of troops now that we lost all our elite troops last year? ?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang could not help but comfort her: "After all, it is for the imperial court. A little grievance is nothing. Senior officials in the imperial court are arrogant and boastful like Zhao Kuo. As long as you stick to yourself, you can quell the rebellion in the future. Who dares to say nonsense? You may not know. You are ashamed of yourself!"
After Sun Chuanting heard this, he calmed down and smiled: "You, Madam, are all the gentlemen in the court, and you can't understand them clearly."
Madam Zhang blushed and said hurriedly: "It's just a woman's opinion."
Zhang is the daughter of Zhang Zhijie, Nanjing's political envoy, and a virtuous housekeeper.
