"Go on, my aunt has such a hot temper. Do you dare to use it if I follow you around?"
Jinzhu glared at the fifth man and pushed the two men behind him in front of him.
"They are brothers who followed me in Tianmen Mountain. One is named Xu Da and the other is Zhao Yun. They are both talented people who passed the examination. Later, they were forced to become bandits. I recommend them to you today. You can I must thank my aunt well."
The man, who was about thirty-five or sixty-six years old, smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists and said: "I am Xu Youliang, a native of Huaihua, Hunan, and a failed scholar. Because he went up the mountain to become a bandit, he changed his name to Xu Da."
The fifth person shook his folding fan and laughed: "You are so brave. How dare you call the name of the founding hero of this dynasty, the King of Zhongshan?"
"You've become a bandit, and you're still afraid of a bird!"
Xu Youliang laughed sheepishly, "However, now that Xu is innocent, he must change his name back to his real name."
Jin Zhu sat down on the stool carelessly, picked up half a pomegranate on the table and ate it, "I still think the name Xu Da is better, it's nice to call and easy to remember."
The fifth person raised his hands and said to the sky: "The name of the Taizu of this dynasty is easy to remember. Do you dare to call it?"
"Are you talking about Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Chongba?" Jin Zhu said nonchalantly while eating a pomegranate.
"Ouch... Auntie, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."
The fifth person was so frightened that he held up his hands and begged for mercy, "If our words get out, the Jin Yiwei can send us brothers and sisters to prison and punish us for the crime of disrespect."
Jinzhu chuckled: "My master once served as a member of Jin Yiwei's family. I have been tired of hearing stories about Jin Yiwei since I was a child, so I am not afraid of Jin Yiwei at all."
"I'm afraid that our mayor will get angry at me when he hears me calling their ancestors by their first names. That's all, that's all... no one is allowed to mention the joke outside!"
When the two of them finished their talk, the young man next to him, who was about 26 or 7 years old, handsome and fair-faced, clasped his fists and saluted.
"I am from Jiangxi. My real name is Zhao Zilong. Zhao Yun is also my pseudonym after I fell into the grass."
"Hey... what's the difference?" The fifth player clapped his folding fan in the palm of his hand, "Then you should call me Zhao Yun. Zhao Zilong's name is too murderous."
Jin Zhu introduced: "Brother Zhao is a man of real talent and learning. He was born in Juren."
"Lift people?"
The fifth one was startled.
I remembered my first "college examination", when I was selected as a scholar at the age of seventeen. I was very ambitious at that time, dreaming that one day I would be able to take part in the joint examination, or even the palace examination, and get the top prize and return to my hometown with honor and honor my ancestors.
Who would have known that after that, he participated in the "International Examination" four times in a row, but failed in all of them and had no chance of passing the examination.
The fifth place was disillusioned after studying hard for twelve years. By chance, he was appreciated by Chen Changsheng, the magistrate of Jinping County, and became the county government master for three years.
Eventually, due to the death of Mr. Tian, he was exiled to Jiangjia Village, and now he has become the boss of Chang'an Town, in charge of the daily government affairs of the village.
But in the heart of the fifth place, there has always been a dream of imperial examination high school, so when he learned that the young man in front of him turned out to be a civil servant, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "The past is too painful to look back on, so it's okay not to mention it."
"How old are you?"
After the fifth person was surprised, he became suspicious of Zhao Yun's identity, and looked up and down with doubtful eyes and asked.
"Twenty-six years old."
"How many times have you taken the test?"
"When he was twenty-one years old, he was a scholar in his hometown Peng Zezhong, and when he was twenty-three years old, he was a scholar in Nanchang Mansion."
Seeing Zhao Yun's promise, the fifth place somewhat believed it, "You won the first provincial examination?"
Zhao Yun nodded: "I was lucky. I was appreciated by the examiner, Mr. Yang Yaozu, so I was promoted to be a candidate."
"Oh...it seems that Brother Zhao is indeed knowledgeable."
The fifth person didn't dare to take the assessment. If the other party's knowledge far surpassed his own, wouldn't he look very embarrassed?
"Since you won the election, then there is a vacancy for officials in the county, and you can fill the post. Why did you become a bandit?"
Zhao Yun smiled calmly: "Because he killed someone."
"kill?"
The fifth person was surprised, "Since Brother Zhao has been successful and has a bright future, why do you still take risks and violate the law?"
Zhao Yun said coldly: "The hatred of seizing your wife is irreconcilable. There was a boss named Bai in our county who took advantage of my going to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination and seduced my wife and committed adultery for a long time. When the matter was exposed, he wanted to slander me and send me to jail. I struck first and set up a trap to kill. My future was ruined, so I had no choice but to go to Luocao on Tianmen Mountain..."
"Fifth surname, why do you have so many questions?"
Jinzhu suddenly became impatient, and the Thunderbolt personality suddenly flared up: "My father was still the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, my master was once a member of the Jinyi Guards, and Jiang Sange was even the Qian general of the Qi family army. Aren't they all forced to go to the end of the mountain and have no other way out? ?"
"You don't believe my aunt, do you? How about you two each write an article now and let the literate people in Chang'an Town evaluate who has a higher level?"
"I thought that you, the town committee, lacked helpers, and didn't want Brother Zhao to be buried in ink, so I recommended him to you. You see, you are asking all kinds of questions, and you are very verbose."
The fifth person hurriedly apologized: "Sister Jin, calm down, your fifth brother didn't mean this. I feel sorry for Brother Zhao!"
"Stop worrying about things, let's just talk about whether the town committee will accept my two brothers or not?" Jin Zhu refused to give in and pressed forward step by step.
"Stay, stay... How dare you not stay? You can take office today. Each person will receive one or two monthly salary, and you can also accumulate work points." The fifth place agreed readily.
Zhao Yun and Xu Youliang bowed together to express their gratitude, "Thank you so much, Fifth Master. If you have any instructions, please feel free to give them."
Jin Zhu then stood up and said goodbye: "That's a joke. From now on, you two will work with the fifth master and you won't have to participate in drills and patrols. I will go back and direct the other brothers to move. Without me, it will be a mess and make people laugh. .”
"Congratulations to my eldest sister."
The fifth man carried the folding fan and sent Jinzhu out of the town committee gate, and then returned to the hospital to discuss work arrangements with the newly recruited subordinates.
Under Jin Zhu's organization, more than 300 strong men moved happily from the "old house" where they had just lived for one night to the new house that had been built less than a day ago.
Jiang Guanjun did not rush to his office like the fifth place, but went to Zhu Renxia and made a suggestion: "The school grounds in the town are too small and cannot accommodate four to five hundred people for training. We must practice at the south gate." Build a new school field outside.”
Zhu Renxia agreed immediately: "Then I will ask Tianzun for help?"
"Wait!"
Jiang Guanjun stopped Zhu Renxia, "I think we should not bother Tianzun if we can solve the problem ourselves. Four to five hundred people can go into battle together and a school field can be cleared in half a day."
"That's fine."
Zhu Renxia nodded in agreement, "Let the strong people combine work and rest, sometimes practice and sometimes work, maybe the effect will be better."
Following Zhu Renxia's order, Jiang Guanjun led 1,780 civilians carrying shovels, pickaxes, hoes and other weapons and lined up out of the south gate, preparing to open up a new school field.
After more than three hundred "bandits" had finished moving, Jin Zhu waved his hand and said: "Everyone, follow me out of the city and follow the mayor and battalion commander to build the school grounds. We don't have tools, so we bring swords, guns and axes. Everyone does their best, Use your tools to their fullest potential.”
More than three hundred former bandits, now the strong citizens of Chang'an Town, immediately shouldered their weapons, lined up in neat steps, followed Jin Zhu out of the south city gate, and met the busy team.
Zhu Renxia stood on the high slope and pointed with his big hand: "Our goal of Chang'an Town Minzhuang is to grow to 3,000 people, so this area must be built into a school ground."
Following the mayor's order, nearly five hundred strong men started to work together, cutting down trees, digging soil, and moving rocks. Everyone was busy and full of energy.
After the land was leveled, the villagers brought out more than 20 horses from the village, drove out a dozen mule carts and donkey carts, and rolled them back and forth around the empty field to compact and level the ground.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the construction of the school ground covering hundreds of acres was completed.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who erected a flag without permission was considered a rebel, so Jiang Guanjun ordered that flags not be made, but only martial arts could be practiced every day.
In this way, even if someone slanders, it can be argued that the villagers have a martial spirit and keep fit in their spare time.
Under the rustling autumn wind, Zhu Renxia, Jiang Guanjun and Jin Zhu boarded the reviewing stand together.
Four hundred and seventy strong men, each holding a weapon, lined up neatly according to Jiang Guanjun's instructions, waiting for the leader's instructions.
