You must know that this place has not only become a financial hole, but also a laggard in all aspects of social security and economy. If it weren't for the fact that Linqing would absorb a part of the coolies to carry bags and pull fibers on the canal every year, I am afraid that there would be a wave of arms here from time to time to win the grain scene (rebellion).

But Zhu Cihong took Fu Rugui and looked at the brick kiln in front of him with fireworks, and salivated: "Here, it is the best source of soldiers!" ”

The workers, but they are better soldiers than the peasants!

"It is easier for a worker to train into an army than a more scattered peasantry." Zhu Cihong laughed softly: "I heard that Qi Jiajun is the volunteer miner selected. The brick kiln workers of this battalion branch are a cumbersome waste in the eyes of Yang Chuan, Liu Zeqing and others, but in my eyes, it is a treasure! ”

After hearing this, Fu Rugui suddenly understood, and sighed softly in his heart. Zhu Cihong's gaze is really different from others.

However, in a blink of an eye, thinking of Zhu Cihong's attitude towards soldiers, Fu Rugui also understood a little in his heart. If all the soldiers in the world treat the sergeants with the same attitude towards the imperial examination as Zhu Cihong, how can they not understand the ingenuity of this link?

With a slight relief and helplessness in his heart, Fu Rugui whispered to Zhu Cihong: "Yiming, although this Yingqi Branch Kiln Village is a treasure, no one else knows it except you and me, and even these brick kiln craftsmen don't recognize it. Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, let's go in, don't be given by others...... When the fat sheep. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly. The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and what you encounter in the countryside is not necessarily the simple villagers, but the villagers who will be transformed into robbers at any time.

In this regard, of course, Zhu Cihong will not be unprepared.

Not to mention that the old seventeen, who was not far behind Zhu Cihong, led more than a dozen knights to the left and right, even in front, there was also the idle man buried by Zhu Cihong.

"Yuan Xi, do you remember Zhang Zhen?" Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

Fu Rugui recalled slightly, and remembered a thick and thin face: "Is it your old family?" ”

Zhu Cihong said "um". Looking ahead, a few people came.

Leader, it was Zhang Zhen, who had not appeared for a long time.

This brave and loyal, thinking that Yu Jing and Zhu Cihong were going to quarrel and fight, so the big man who led people outside the court to prepare for a fight was a little more stable today, and even hid some city mansions.

Only Zhu Cihong knew that a small house slave in the past now had a more important and secret task.

So much so that it was so secret that Zhu Cihong did not intend to explain Zhang Zhen's real tasks and functions to Fu Rugui. Because, Zhu Cihong has dug up a lot of good hands in Beijing from the East Investigation Factory and Jinyiwei, and they are all assigned to Si En and Zhang Zhen. More than 8,000 taels of silver money was spent before and after, just to make Zhu Cihong's ears and eyes more informed.

Putting aside this little reverie, Zhu Cihong looked at the current Zhang Zhen, his breath became more calm, and he thought about the news from Zhang Zhen some time ago, and he was quite satisfied with Zhang Zhen's ability to do things.

"See Master, this is the experience of the Camp Division, Li He." Zhang Zhen came over and bowed and helped Zhu Cihong to get off the horse.

Subsequently, Zhang Zhen saluted Fu Rugui and introduced them on both sides.

"This is my lord, the head of the Linqing Tax Division of the Ministry of Households."

"This is my master's best friend, Master Fu."

Zhu Cihong nodded towards this Li He, which was regarded as a salute.

This Li He originally wanted to take Qiao, but when he saw Zhu Cihong's naturally exuded bearing of palm power, a few thoughts in his heart suddenly pressed down again. When the old seventeen who followed not far behind Zhu Cihong and followed silently with more than a dozen knights, Li He suddenly remembered the ability of this little master of the town.

Of course, the kiln village of the camp branch is not a good place for simple folk customs, and I heard that there was a rich businessman who was worth a lot of money and wanted to order 100,000 red bricks as soon as he opened his mouth, and there were three good hands that night.

As a result, the next day, Li He, who was in the camp division, still saw Zhang Zhen intact. Zhang Zhen naturally looked like a wealthy businessman, smiling and talking about purchasing bricks and stones.

At first, Li He just thought that the three good hands had finally released the pigeons and didn't go. So Naqiao shouted a high price, so angry that Zhang Zhen put away his smile, didn't continue to talk, got up and left. was so angry that Li He dropped the cup that he hadn't picked up yet.

Just when Li He was still planning to find someone to find the field, he saw three bandits who had a bit of a fierce reputation at the Linqing Wharf in Yao Village coming to kowtow, and only begged Li He to help them save their lives.

Because...... All three came in with eight fingers. Both hands are gone, little fingers.

All three, all of them.

Seeing this scene, Li He, who was feeling cold in his heart, immediately ran to Zhang Zhen's house, not only immediately matched Zhang You, the head of Zhangjiayao, to Zhang Zhen, but also took over the matter of finding a bricklayer to build a house.

Zhu Cihong was not polite, and when he saw Li He, he said: "You must know what this official is going to do here." ”

Li He was slightly stunned, remembering the news from Yang Chuan's messenger before.

"It turned out that the adults wanted to ...... Want to take over the battalion division? Li He was stunned.

Zhu Cihong squinted his eyes at Li He and said, "In the tax division, I will give you a position with an annual salary of one hundred taels, and from now on, you will be treated as if there is no business division." ”

Li He's body shook slightly.

He didn't care about Zhu Cihong's tone of completely ignoring the imperial court, the imperial court, who could give him Li He a hundred taels a year?

Don't look at the thousands of households in the camp division, tens of thousands of people are legally kneaded by Li He. But now, Beijing doesn't need tribute bricks, and few people dare to buy this thing if they want to sell it, so what power can Li He wield? Just want to be greedy for ink and silver, Li He doesn't dare to go too far, after all, there are still thousands of people waiting to eat and drink below!

In this regard, Li He didn't dare to be too greedy. You must know that without the money and food above, Li He feels that he can't suppress this group of lawless potters.

There is a way that is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, these people have no family property, and they have the mission of making tribute bricks to the emperor for generations.

Thinking of this, how could Li He not agree?

"Yes, sir!" Li He was so happy that his voice trembled: "The junior official understands, the junior official understands!" ”

Zhu Cihong said "um" and didn't speak again.

Then, I saw that Zhang Zhen gave Li He a look, and Li He immediately ran away.

Without outsiders, Zhu Cihong was also a lot more precautionary when he spoke, looked at Zhang Zhen and said, "Tell me about the situation in this kiln village." ”
