Emperor Hongzhi smiled noncommittally.

His heart seemed to be touched.

Although his complexion is dark, the skin on his back, because of the sun, has shed layers of skin, like a child's graffiti, the new and old skin are intertwined, which makes people panic.

His hands were full of calluses, his fingers were almost ground to the point that he couldn't see the texture on his fingers, and on the back of his hand, there were a series of cuts, God knows if it was a scratch left by an accidental sickle, or it was cut by the wheat leaves.

A few pieces of bread, he was like a treasure.

But he didn't care, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Your family has been a military household for generations." ”

"Yes, since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, he was ordered to garrison the Beijing Division, no, at that time, the Beijing Division was in Nanjing, and our family was young and old, and we migrated from Nanzhili."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "It's not easy, I left my hometown and came here......

Here we are...... They are not doing well, which is also the deep-seated reason why Emperor Hongzhi said that it was not easy.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I don't think you are like a military household, but like a farmer." ”

"I'm a farmer." The old man was happy again: "I've planted the land for a lifetime." ”

Emperor Hongji: "......"

He couldn't bear to ask any more.

Fang Jifan said on the side: "I see that you are so skilled, it is better to go to Xishan to farm, Xishan recruits talents." ”

"Yikes." The old man's eyes showed a look of yearning: "It's a good place, but unfortunately, I'm a military household, otherwise, I really have to go." He seemed to feel that his straw sandals were panicked, so he took off his shoes, took out the wheat stalks, and scraped the mud in the straw sandals: "But ...... Now in this Yongqingwei, it's not that life can't go on, don't you know......"

Speaking of this, the old man paused, his eyes suddenly turned a little red, and said: "The emperor and grandson have mercy on us soldiers, a few days ago, I went to the military department to make trouble, let the military department pay ......."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, the Yongqing Left Guard is an ordinary guard, they are given military fields, and they are self-sufficient, which is the difference between them and the Twelve Regiments and Battalions.

The 12 regiments and battalions, or the cavalry battalion, the 3,000 battalions, etc., all belong to the elite and are selected from the guards, and the difference between them and the guards like the Yongqing Left Guard is that almost everyone is supplied by the imperial court with money and food, while the Yongqing Left Guard will not give any pay unless they fight, they all plant their own land and feed themselves.

Zhu Zaimo is fighting for the salary of the 12th regiment battalion, and it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with the Yongqing Left Battalion.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Yongqing Zuowei is also paid." ”

"No." The old man shook his head like a rattle.

Fang Jifan looked at the old man with a sympathetic expression, this person ...... The IQ is a little low, you don't send it, what are you happy about.

"But ......" the old man grinned and smiled: "But yesterday, when I heard the news, our commander has already let go of his words, and wants to send us more food, hundreds of households, thousands of households have gone, and the commander reprimanded him, saying that they only know how to squeeze the military and do not treat us as human beings. ”

"Look, isn't this the credit of the emperor's grandson? It wasn't the emperor who spoke for our soldiers, but he also hit the military department, and I heard that the master of the military department was beaten beyond recognition, tsk...... The emperor and grandson are mighty, we military men will be blessed in the future. ”

Emperor Hongji was dumbfounded.

Even Fang Jifan began to tilt his head at this moment, connecting the cause and effect.

Think about it.

That's really the case.

In the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of others, military households are almost no different from lowly status, no one will care, no one will pay attention, what about the military attachés, regard them as their own tenant farmers, but how to pay rent, but almost the military attaché himself decides, let you pay as much as you want, otherwise, it is military law service.

But the grandiose grandson, the nobles of Tianhuang, the grandson of the current emperor, the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the heir of the future Ming Dynasty, rushed into the yamen of the military department for a group of Qiu Ba, and made such a big fuss about this matter, someone in the military department was beaten, and the ministry hall was even more in a mess.

The emperor and grandson have pity on these Qiu Ba.

If at this juncture, which guard makes a scene where the Qiu Ba have no hope of life and hangs themselves, or because they are really hungry, they starve to death at home.

This...... Isn't it looking for death?

All of a sudden, all the guards began to get nervous, and the Wei commander found thousands and hundreds of households, and put on a posture of defending Qiu Ba's interests, and reprimanded him. Thousands of households, hundreds of households, naturally feel that something is wrong, for fear of causing trouble, naturally call the general flag and the small flag, whether they are sincere or false, but the food ...... I still sent it down.

Jun Han said happily: "Just a few days ago, our chief flag officer was fierce, beating and scolding people at every turn, but early this morning, everyone saw him, and he smiled at us, saying that the brothers worked hard...... Heard...... It's the Ministry of War that may be going to be investigated......"

"Inventory?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

How did you not know?

"Of course, isn't that obvious? The emperor's grandson is at a young age, although he is sympathetic to us Qiu Ba, but ...... Think about it, I heard...... The emperor and grandson were instructed by the Duke of Qi to make trouble......"

Fang Jifan immediately said: "That's right, it was instructed by the Duke of Qi Guo, I also heard about it, and I also saw that the Duke of Qi pulled the emperor and grandson to teach him in person, and his mouth was dry." My second aunt's brother has a son, and his neighbor is on an errand in Xishan, and he saw it with his own eyes. ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan and was silent.

The old man was happy, and seemed to be quite proud that his news had been confirmed, and he immediately said: "Although we are Qiu Ba, how can we not understand the truth, the old man, I have lived a lot of years, how can I not understand the twists and turns on the top, you see, the Duke of Qi instructed the emperor to go to the military department, and this Duke of Qi has the favor of himself, otherwise, how could the emperor Lao Tzu marry his girl to him?" So, nine times out of ten, this is the idea of the emperor Lao Tzu, the Duke of Qi is in the emperor's heart, the emperor is not good to come forward, he has penetrated the emperor's spleen and stomach, and then instructed the emperor and grandson to do it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's old face turned red, and I ...... My idea?

The old man said: "What does this mean? It shows that His Majesty pities us soldiers, he has long been dissatisfied with those corrupt officials in the Ministry of War, first borrowed the hand of Qi Guogong and asked the emperor and grandson to beat them, I want to come...... Soon I will take advantage of this matter to ruthlessly check the military headquarters and guards. Now we Yongqing Zuowei are all spreading this matter, and I heard that the commander, thousands of households, and hundreds of officials are all anxious, afraid of causing trouble. We, the soldiers, will have a good life in the future. ”

Isn't that...... It is...... Fang Jifan's mind was spinning, and a word came to mind, Pastoral Keyboard Hero? It's still primitive, green and pollution-free, this is the grandfather of keyboard warriors.

Fang Jifan was almost on his knees.

Emperor Hongzhi was silent again.

He thought that the emperor's grandson made such a fuss, which was a shame for the royal family, this kid was too impulsive, and he should sharpen his temperament.

But who would have expected such a fuss to produce such a result.

Looking at the old man's face was full of excitement, and his eyes seemed to glow with hope.

"So, our emperor Shengming, in the past, who cared if we lived or died, now ...... After all, the emperor can't stand it, we, the poor soldiers, have the support of the emperor, the prince of Qi and the emperor's grandson, they think about us everywhere, we are afraid that we will not have a good life in the future. Last night, Chen Liu, his mother-in-law, gave birth to a big fat boy, and my old man's daughter-in-law followed him to deliver the baby, this Chen Liu, who also admired the virtue of the emperor and the emperor's grandson, gave his son a name, called Muen, Chen Muen, you see, this name is good. ”

Fang Jifan cocked his thumb: "It's a coincidence, when I gave birth to my son, I also thought of a name, called patriotism, but it's a pity that ......"

He shook his head, now it seems that this Mu En is more advanced.

The crowd is crowded, and creativity is endless.

The old man rested for a while, but he got up busily: "This ...... This...... It's not too early, I want to harvest the wheat, ladies and gentlemen, the old man is just talking nonsense, haha...... Thank you for the bread, but the old man has to go and harvest the wheat. ”

So saying, he went back to the ridges, took a sickle, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel on his shoulder, and began to work.

Emperor Hongzhi stood up and was silent for a moment: "Xiao Banban, go and help." ”

"Your Majesty, slaves don't have scythes." Xiao Jing looked at the wheat, a little infiltrating.

Many times, following His Majesty's private patrols, looking at these toiling people, he was glad in his heart, fortunately his father let him be a eunuch, and it was good to cut a knife, at least not ...... In this life, he is like these toiling masses.

But now it's okay, the slaves and eunuchs have done it, and they still have to cut the wheat? So what are we going to cut?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, his face gloomy.

Xiao Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Slave and maid go and look for it, go and find it." ”

Busy with a few guards, hurriedly went, after a while, he looked for a sickle, and looked at Fang Jifan, who was sitting next to Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jifan looked for a fan, and shook the fan in a leisurely manner, he deliberately made the fan bigger, so that he and Emperor Hongzhi both fanned.

Xiao Jing carried a sickle and a few guards into the field.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, sometimes I really envy Gonggong Xiao, he has a good way to do anything, such as this wheat harvest, look at his posture, he can really bluff people." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Say less cool words." ”

"Oh." Fang Jifan nodded hurriedly and said, "Erchen doesn't dare." ”

"Come, come, come, who will fetch a little more water, no, go find a few melons, it is better to be chilled, Your Majesty wants to eat!" You dogs, what are you doing here, like a stake, look at it, our majesty is going to die of thirst. ”
