The number of bricklayers was limited. Even if Zhou Ping had three heads and six arms, he could not build a barracks that could accommodate ten thousand people within a month, so the recruited new recruits of the Jinyiwei could only live in tents. Zhu Cheng scattered the new recruits of the Jinyiwei in the imperial village, with every 500 people being a battalion. When building a temporary camp, he flattened many well-growing winter wheat, which made many tenants sigh a pity.

However, these landless farmers quickly realized the famous saying of "Sai's uninhabited horses and losing their horses" and "will be a blessing". They were recruited by the imperial village as agricultural workers and lived a life of guaranteed income from drought and flood. As long as they work on time every day and work hard every day, they would have 1 tael of silver per month, which would be 12 taels a year, which is equivalent to the income of working in the farmland for a year in a good year.

Agricultural workers found that the place where they worked was strange, like the mythical Crystal Palace. The walls and roofs of these houses were made of transparent crystals, and the sun could shine into the room, while the wind and rain were locked outside. Looking at the house, it made people sigh that it was a royal manor, and it was indeed a luxury to take action. What made people even more tongue-in-mouth was that they even installed a stove inside, and the temperature was too low. At first, the workers thought that the foreman cherished their bodies and were afraid that they would freeze. Later, they found that after they finished work, the stove still did not go out. Only then did they realize that the stove was to maintain the temperature in the Crystal Palace, which was really a luxury.

Agricultural workers found that the new manager of the imperial village was very kind, but they didn't know much about farming and liked to direct blindly. They actually asked them to sow seeds in the Crystal Palace in the twelfth month of the 10th. Although the wheat is called winter wheat, it is not sown in winter. They are really an outsider and expert in command. However, strangely, these seeds actually sprouted and grew tender green leaves. Farmers who had planted vegetables recognized at a glance that these tender sprouts were vegetable seedlings such as green vegetables, spinach, celery, cucumbers, etc.

Some workers thought these seeds were special and might be new varieties, so they always looked at Zhu Cheng, planted them in front of and behind the house, took good care of them, and watered them seven or eight times a day, but there was still no movement, so they were convinced by Zhu Cheng.

When the vegetables were about to be harvested, Ke Qingqing brought 300 people back. They were the last batch to come back. After all, doctors are scarce resources in any dynasty and are not easy to find.

Zhu Cheng was a little surprised. Why was Ke Qingqing so powerful? She found so many doctors who were willing to join the army. After asking, she realized that Ke Qingqing had only recruited 34 doctors and 66 nurses, and the remaining 200 were recruiting recruits by the two bodyguards. They were really bodyguards, and they were both recruiting soldiers.

Time can no longer be delayed, so Zhu Cheng led a large group of people and two carts of vegetables to the palace with Zhu Youjian to pay homage to Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth when he saw two trucks of green vegetables. Although he was the emperor and could eat countless delicacies of mountains and seas, he still had to be bound by nature. Such green vegetables were still eaten very little in winter. Although some people had tried to grow some vegetables in greenhouses in the Ming Dynasty, because the light in the greenhouse was not good, they could only plant some fruits and vegetables, and basically they could not grow them. Of course, there were a lot of vegetables in the Jiangnan area, but when transported to Beijing, at least nine and a half baskets of vegetables would rot.

Wei Zhongxian was a little distrustful of his eyes. He reached out and touched it, grabbed a leaf of vegetable, chewed it, and couldn't bear to spit it out, so he ate it raw.

Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Zhu Cheng, you are so amazing. I asked you to grow vegetables. It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect you to really grow so many vegetables for me."

Emperor Tianqi was shocked when he saw Zhu Cheng's expression. He saw that Zhu Cheng not only did not look proud of himself, but was worried. Looking at Zhu Youjian again, he was also unconstrained and worried.

Emperor Aoki asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhu Cheng knelt on the ground with a "splash", and Zhu Youjian also knelt down.

When Emperor Tianqi saw the two kneeling on the ground, he knew something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"

Zhu Cheng said: "I am guilty."

Emperor Apocalypse sighed and asked, "What trouble have you caused?"

Zhu Cheng said: "I accidentally recruited more people when recruiting troops."

Emperor Tianqi's expression relaxed and said, "It's not important to have dozens of people more, I'm not a stingy person."

Zhu Cheng said: "More than stop."

Emperor Tianqi sighed again and said, "Although several hundred are beyond the limit, it doesn't matter. Who made you my sincere brother?"

Zhu Cheng said: "Ten, ten times."

Emperor Apocalypse's expression changed drastically: "You have recruited ten thousand people?"

Zhu Cheng nodded.

Emperor Tianqi was furious: "What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? If you give you a thousand households, you dare to recruit ten thousand people. Then, if you give you a general, wouldn't you take away all the soldiers from all over the country?"

Although Emperor Tianqi was generous and kind by nature, he was the emperor after all. How could he let anyone who might threaten his throne go easily? He shouted: "Left and right, take Zhu Cheng down and put him in the Heavenly Prison."

Zhu Youjian was so anxious that he burst into tears and said, "Brother, brother..."

Wei Zhongxian also advised: "The emperor calms his anger, the emperor calms his anger."

Emperor Tianqi shook his sleeves and went to the back hall. Zhu Youjian and Wei Zhongxian rushed to chase him.

In the Tianzhu, Zhu Cheng was taken off his official robe and changed into a prison uniform. The Tianzhu was a serious criminal, and the prison uniforms he prepared were all from adults. He looked extremely depressed after putting on them.

Zhu Cheng had a few silver ingots in his clothes. After the prison guard found it, he naturally accepted it with a smile.

The prison chief asked, "Boy, you're lucky. He was so young that he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. He was the number one person in the Ming Dynasty. What did he do?"

Zhu Cheng said: "I really want to know? I remember a great sage once said that curiosity killed the cat. It is easy for me to say it, but if I know, I have to come in with me. Seeing that you want to know so sincerely, I will tell you."

The prison head waved his hand and said, "I live quite freely, just stay in it alone."

The room in Tianzhu was dirty and messy, because the urine bucket was still inside, and there was a bad smell.

Zhu Cheng sat on the ground and looked up at the ceiling. He was still too anxious. Ten thousand soldiers pose too great a threat to the imperial power, but he had to do so. It was the year of the Tianqi period, and in October of the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu was the first time he entered the pass. If he did not train a strong soldier during this period, how could he defend the enemy outside the country? There were nine years between them. Although it was enough to train a powerful army for four years, five years later, Zhu Youjian was already fifteen years old. At that time, he expanded the recruitment of soldiers. Despite the deep brotherly love, Emperor Tianqi would still secretly feel suspicious. Now Zhu Youjian is only eleven years old. If he recruits more soldiers, everyone will only think that the little boy did something wrong, and no one will think that he is unjust.

Zhu Cheng wanted to organize a powerful armed force when Zhu Youjian was young. Unexpectedly, he committed a taboo of Emperor Tianqi. He was locked in prison, but Zhu Cheng was not afraid; what Zhu Cheng was afraid of was that Emperor Tianqi forced him to disband the newly recruited soldiers. He had inspected all of these soldiers and was a good seedling.

Zhu Cheng was thinking that a man wearing a black cloak came to the prison. He looked closely and found that it was Li Yongzhen.

Li Yongzhen said: "Eunuch Wei sent me to see Lord Zhu. He made you relax. Now he and Zhu Youjian are joining forces to persuade the emperor. The emperor's attitude has changed and he will release you in the next few days."

Zhu Cheng looked at Li Yongzhen and was so moved that tears burst into tears in his eyes, saying, "Since Eunuch Wei is advising the emperor, how could he have time to send you to visit me?"

Li Yongzhen was silent for a while and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhu is so smart. No one sent me here. It was our family who came here by himself. I secretly listened to their conversation and knew that the emperor's attitude had softened, so I came to report the message first, so I can rest assured that Lord Zhu and don't make any trouble in a hurry."

Zhu Cheng said: "You treat me as a friend, and I treat you as a friend. If you have any problems in the future, just look for me."

Li Yongzhen opened the food box that he brought, which contained wine and meat.

The wine is rice wine, and the meat is beef.

Zhu Cheng said: "It's so boring to eat alone. If I think I'm a friend, just eat with me."

When he was drunk, he was even more worried. Zhu Cheng was drunk for the first time in this life. He shook the iron gate and shouted: "I have the ambition to serve the country, and I have the ambition to serve the country!"

Then Zhu Cheng hugged the iron fence and burst into tears.

Li Yongzhen advised: "Let's just live it. There are so many people in the Ming Dynasty, one more than one more, one less than one less, one less, it's better to live your life with peace of mind."

The prison head came over with a whip and cursed: "Which bastard is yelling, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Li Yongzhen glared at the prison.

The prison head recognized that this was the eunuch in power in the palace. He was so scared that he threw away his whip and knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Li Yongzhen advised Zhu Cheng a few words and said goodbye. Before leaving, he repeatedly told the prison chief to take good care of Zhu Cheng, saying that if Zhu Cheng lost a piece of hair, he would have to look good.

The prison head was so depressed that he wanted to whistle to the sky, and thought to himself: "Why did an old man be locked up in this prison? It's like this? Are our prisoners still alive?"
