When Yang Shanlu arrived on the training ground, it was not long after the sun rose, but the training ground was full of people.
The recruits who have been recruited one after another are all training seriously. Of course, the newly appointed Supervisor Zuo Maodi must be there.
To say that Wen Tianxiang at the end of the Ming Dynasty was still very dedicated these days. Every day just after dawn, he visited various military camps and talked to officers at all levels, but the effect was helpless but the effect was very poor...
Because he has discovered that Yang Shanlu's control over the army is higher than he imagined! He is simply his private soldier!
So what should I do? Come to the training ground... This is a place where recruits concentrate. Since those veterans don’t make sense, these new recruits must be easier to deal with...
Therefore, the current Zuo Maodi reports to the training ground on time every day, as if he was also one of the recruits. And talk to these recruits about how to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, and to promote the Donglin Party to them... Only their Donglin Party members can save the world.
To his disappointment, it was even more difficult to communicate with these recruits! Because almost all of these recruits are illiterate, they don’t understand what he says...
Some recruits even heard him repeatedly mention the word'Donglin', and asked him curiously, what is Donglin? Can you eat it
So let this Wen Tianxiang at the end of Ming Dynasty be very depressed.
But at this time, after he saw Yang Shanlu coming, these recruits rushed to greet him. This kind of love, this kind of contrast... made him even more depressed.
But Yang Shanlu smiled when he saw him, hehe, my corners are not so easy to dig, do you really think that all my hard work is a waste...
But Yang Shanlu didn't take it seriously. It is good to have this kind of enthusiasm. As long as it is properly guided, it will work. So Yang Shanlu smiled and said, "It's early for the Zuo Jianjun!"
Then Yang Shanlu said: "You have been to the town guard for a few days since Zuo Jianjun, and I haven't accompany you to look around. It just happens to be more free today. I will accompany you to visit various castles. …"
"This..." Zuo Maodi hesitated. Other castles didn't have so many recruits.
And Yang Shanlu smiled when he saw it. He said, "Hehe, don't worry, as long as you go down and watch, you are guaranteed to have unexpected surprises! It's the one you are interested in!"
is it? Hearing what he said, Zuo Maodi really became interested, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a trip with you."
After making such an agreement, the two rode on the horses and began to go to Zhenluwei's subordinate fort.
And when she passed the gate of the city just now, the wise girl was still waiting there, and then saw Yang Shanlu winking at her, and hurriedly followed, and Yang Shanlu smiled when she saw it... Haha, Let you see how I solved the food problem.
The purpose of this trip is Zhenkoubao, and it is also the route arranged by Yangshanlu.
And on the road, the farmland I saw was full of golden rice and fragrant veins! Seeing to be harvested soon, it is still a rare big harvest!
This is really unusual for this year of famine everywhere!
Although Zuo Maodi had some trouble with Yang Shanlu, seeing this, he still had to admire him... This is exactly how the horse can quell thieves, and the country can be governed by dismounting!
As for the Miss Liu who followed, let alone, her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Shanlu like searchlights. She has lived in the capital for a long time, and she has seen countless young talents, but now It seems that he ranked first with the one in front of him.
Then there was nothing to say all the way. After the group rushed to Zhenkoubao, Zuo Mao's first few people discovered that compared with Tianchengcheng, Zhenkoubao is also very neat and clean, and it is very comfortable to watch.
But, just walked into the fort, but there were also discordant voices.
When they walked down a street, they saw a group of private households in front of them yelling angrily: "Bah! These nasty profiteers, the price of food has increased again!"
"Yes, yes! It is the grace of his old man who ordered the adults to let these grain merchants come in and set up shops, but these guys with pus on the soles only make money with black hearts, and their conscience has been eaten by dogs..."
After hearing these voices, Zuo Maodi immediately became interested. When Wen Tianxiang was a county magistrate in the late Ming Dynasty, he was famous for his love of fighting injustices and punishing tyranny. Now, this righteousness still exists.
So Zuo Maodi immediately took a few steps forward, smiled and arched his hands: "Brothers, what were you talking about just now?"
"Aren't you talking about those bastards!"
These people looked at Zuo Maodi and saw that he was wearing a cotton robe (the official robes were not exposed in it, which is a private visit by Weifu). They thought they were also buying rice, so they all said angrily: "These guys are simply It's so bad! You said that the price of rice he listed the day before yesterday was still 4 taels per stone, but it was only a day after today, and it has risen to 6 taels per stone!
I also questioned them at the time. Recently, it was the time when the green and yellow were not picking up, so the food was relatively tight, and there were also many refugees in the fort, and they needed food to save their lives. Are you not afraid of punishment by the law when you are so skyrocketing? Guess how they answered? "
"how to answer?"
"They said that as long as there is white money, Wang Fa is bullshit!"
"hateful!"
Zuo Maodi was furious when he heard it. He thought that Zhenluwei would be a treasure place to live and work in peace and contentment under Yang Shanlu's rule, but he didn't expect such criminals to exist!
At this time, Yang Shanlu had already looked at him and said, "How is it? Surprise enough..."
Zuo Maodi gritted his teeth and said: "Well, it's really a pleasant surprise!"
Then Zuo Maodi rushed forward without looking back, and Yang Shanlu nodded when he saw this... Hehe, your righteousness should be better used here...
Then the group of people came to the grain shops and waited until they had seen the prices listed outside, and that was indeed the case.
You know that in the entire town’s prison guard, the Xuanjia Army’s disabled veterans have opened a lot of grain shops, and the price of grain has been stable at two and a half stone, but these profiteers actually cost six or two and one stone, which is exactly one stone. More times!
And these food merchants are really inhumane! At this time, everyone saw with their own eyes that there was a refugee with ragged clothes and white beard, leading a five or six-year-old girl to buy rice.
But when he asked the price of food, he was stunned, and said in disbelief: "Isn't there only 4 two and one stone yesterday? Today it has risen by half?"
"Can you control it?" There was a guy inside lazily saying: "You can buy if you want, and you can go if you don't want to buy it!"
After the old man listened, his white beard was shaking with anger. If it weren't for this, who would buy this rice? However, this is too ridiculous...
At this time, the little girl he brought with him already said weakly, "Grandpa, I'm hungry."
"Okay, let's buy rice! Buy rice!" But the old man looked at the few coins he was holding tightly in his hand, but he couldn't stretch it out anyway...
People who fled like them are already in abject poverty. He finally earned this little money by finding a little work. It was originally estimated that he could buy rice for a day, but now...
But after seeing that guy, he was indifferent, he didn't even lift his eyelids... After all, this kind of thing is commonplace for them, and it is not unusual for a disaster year like this.
After seeing this scene, Zuo Maodi couldn't help it anymore. He strode to the man and pointed to his nose and asked, "Do you still have a conscience! Are you still born by your parents!"
"Yo-" The guy just glanced at him disdainfully: "Which green onion are you! I want you to breathe more like this!"
Okay, Zuo Maodi was so angry that he wanted to identify himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should not be familiar with a buddy, so he asked sternly: "Where is your shopkeeper? Ask your shopkeeper to come out and speak."
"I'm watching here, what's the matter?" At this moment, I saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the counter of the grain store, but because the light was dark there, I didn't see him just now.
Zuo Maodi didn't talk nonsense with him when he saw it, just sternly said: "Do you still have a conscience, dare to sell food prices so high!"
"Poor and sour, it's up to you!" The shopkeeper looked at Zuo Mao for the first time, but he didn't even kill him at all. He was still laughing in his heart-dumb hat, isn't Laozi making money from this...
"You!" Zuo Maodi's face flushed with anger, and when he thought about whether to show his identity and do something (generally the supervising army can't control the civil affairs), there was a small accident.
The old man who came to buy rice was so hungry that he couldn't hold it anymore, and was attacked by angry anger, so he had shaken a few times and fainted to the ground.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" The little girl started crying anxiously when she saw her grandpa fainted.
"Unlucky! Throw it aside! Don't break the business!" The shopkeeper showed disgust in his eyes.
Okay, Zuo Maodi was so angry that he was about to faint... Is this still a human
At this time, Liu Hongli, who had been watching, couldn't help it anymore, and rushed up angrily: "You hurry up and sell them some rice, or I will ask my grandfather to take care of you!"
"Who is your grandfather?" The shopkeeper is a little serious, after all, there are still existences that they can't afford to provoke in this town captive guard.
"Huh! My grandfather is the deputy dean of the college, he is amazing!"
"School? Associate dean?" The shopkeeper laughed loudly when he heard it, and even his stomach hurts. Isn't this just a teacher? Just like this, dare to come and tell me
I don't even inquire, they are the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi!
On the contrary, Yang Shanlu shook his head when he saw that they were still talking nonsense with the shopkeeper... What more? For this kind of person, you have to fight so that you don’t even know him/mum...
So Yang Shanlu directed Zuo Maodi and said, "Zuo Jianjun, come forward and clean him up!"
"Uh, I, the supervising army, only manages the army, can this also take care of him?" Zuo Maodi asked hastily, even though he was almost unable to bear it.
"Of course." Yang Shanlu said sternly: "Look, he sells rice, but isn't rice just military rations? This bastard sells so high that those military households can't afford it. Has your combat effectiveness been affected? So this is the time when you exercise your power as a superintendent!"
"That's right." Zuo Maodi's eyes lit up suddenly... I thought I didn't expect it! So he immediately greeted the two entourages around him: "Hit! Give me a big beating!"
To be honest, according to the procedures of the prison army, they should first be convicted before they can be punished, but now, Zuo Maodi is really angry, and he has to vent his anger before speaking.
And the two entourages immediately took their orders. In fact, these two were the two guards who were responsible for protecting him. They were also wearing plain clothes today, but they didn't lose their skills.
So the two immediately stepped forward, one by one grabbed the shopkeeper and the buddy, and slapped a few big ears on the face! It's called a crisp!
Even so, they still felt uncomfortable. Seeing that there were just a few empty rice bags on the ground, they simply put a set on the heads of these two guys, and there was another round of punches and kicks.
Just this one beat, the ghost cries and the wolf howls that beat these two guys... At this time, there were many households who were going to buy rice, and they stepped up and stepped on their feet when they saw it, and felt sick.
"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?" Unexpectedly, at this time, a few other rice shops on this street had already rushed out menacingly seven or eight guys, everyone holding the guy in his hand.
These rice shops belonged to the eight great families in Shanxi. When selling rice, they were all embarrassed together. So now, when someone dared to make trouble, they all ran over together.
"Damn, it's really lawless!" Zuo Mao was even more angry at first glance. To be honest, seeing this posture, he was determined to ask for the imperial decree and kill a few bastards!
But he also knows that this estimate is useless... After all, the imperial decree can only be understood by people in official circles, and people like these profiteers can't understand it at all!
It was the two Jin Yiwei who saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly shouted: "Jin Yiwei is handling the case here, and the idlers are waiting to evade."
"Avoid you Mao!" Those thugs rushed over and beat! Because they didn't believe that there would be Jinyiwei in a small place like Zhenluwei!
And having said that, even if it is really Jin Yiwei, it is still correct! If you want to know who they are, they are the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi! The big shopkeepers above and Jin Yiwei Qianhu and so on are all known as brothers and sisters! So, do you still need to care if you beat the two little guys who went to the streets to patrol.
"It's the reverse! It's the reverse!"
Seeing this scene, Zuo Maodi was very angry, but it really didn't work for a literati like him who had no power to hold a chicken.
But it doesn't matter, Yang Shanlu has already taken action at this time... He just sipped softly: "Give it to me!"
So some passers-by disguised as nearby immediately rushed on!
You must know that Yang Shanlu now has 20 guards who accompany him every time, and all of these 20 are excellent military players, and they are selected by thousands of people!
Therefore, when Yangshanlu travels, most of them pretend to be passers-by, not showing the mountains and dew. If you really do it...
So needless to say, those thugs originally played happily, but after these 20 guards were off the field, they all fell to the ground in an instant, and the beat was called a crying father and a mother...
And Yang Shanlu was also very angry, so if he didn't call to stop, these guards just went on fighting...
"Good! Good fight!"
When Zuo Maodi saw it, it was a loud applause! And when the eldest Miss Liu Hongli saw it, she jumped her feet in excitement to cheer! It seems that the most powerful force is needed to deal with these bastards!
But at this moment, seeing the situation is not good, the shopkeepers of the several food shops hurried over, and then they all yelled: "Is there any king of law! I urge you to brighten up the tricks... We are the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi." !"
"Really? It's your kind of bastard!" Yang Shanlu said lightly.
At this time, Yang Shanlu had already taken out his seal and sent Liu Dabangmao to the military camp in the fort to transfer a group of Xuanjia troops.
So when these shopkeepers were clamoring, a group of profound armor troops with bright armor had already arrived at the scene, waiting for instructions.
But since Zuo Mao is in the first place today, there is a beginning and an end. Yang Shanlu said to Zuo Mao: "Left Supervisor Army, these Profound Armies will be handed over to you for command."
"Very good—" Zuo Maodi Zhengchou had no one available, and when he saw this, he immediately ordered: "Get me arrested all these guys."
So in the next moment, these Xuanjia troops entered the arena instantly like a tiger entering a flock.
And this is one thing and one thing. These shopkeepers, who were still aggressive just now, saw that even the Xuanjia army had come, and suddenly their faces were as gray as death, and they were all wilted...
It's over, it's over, this is over, they are all too clear, the Xuan Jia army represents the commander! If you dare to move around...
When seeing this scene, the surrounding people clapped their hands and cheered, and felt a bad breath.
And then naturally it goes without saying. According to the Ming law, profiteers like this drive up prices and bully the market. Not only do they have to confiscate their illegal gains, they also have to eat them in prison!
So next, these grain merchants were unlucky. Not only were the stores closed, including all the grains in the store, all the silver they earned was confiscated! It was all moved out and piled up into a hill on the street! And they are all sent to jail!
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people cheered even more, great!
Including Zuo Maodi at this time, the same joyous smile appeared on his face. Although he and Yang Shanlu have different political ideas, they are completely the same in terms of saving the country and the people and combating profiteers, let alone Yang Shan. Lu even supported him this time...
So Zuo Maodi was still a little grateful to him, and after discussing with Yang Shanlu, Zuo Maodi announced loudly: "All the grains and rice copied are used to help the victims, including afterwards, there will be a Xuanjia army soon. The veteran came to open the shop and made sure that the price of rice would not exceed the upper limit set by the Zhenluwei, which is two and a half stone!"
"Wow!" After the news was announced, the surrounding residents were even more applauded! This is a good adult...
Including the eldest Miss Liu Hongli, I was even more convinced... Xindao just now no wonder someone said that it's useless to make a few tens of kilograms of rice like her. After all, like her now, it is a big deal...
After processing, the group left Zhenkoubao. On the way back, Zuo Maodi suddenly held a fist at Yang Shanlu and said, "Thank you just now."
Yang Shanlu smiled after hearing this, "Thank you, isn't this what we all want to see?"
Actually, Yang Shanlu is still thinking about it, in fact, I brought you here today to make you the supervising army play a role, and now it seems that the effect is very good...
So this also proves that the Donglin Party members are not hopeless. The key is how to make good use of their patriotic enthusiasm. As long as it is used in the right place, it can be effective.
Even in addition, Yang Shanlu had unexpected gains. He felt that someone was peeking at him from time to time along the way...
Especially when he was leaving, Liu Hongli's admiring eyes still made him very comfortable... Hehe, it is not easy to win the admiration of talented women... (End of this chapter)
