After entering the village, he practiced state affairs while swaying square foot, while looking around with his eyes. As the patrol, these golden eyes must be used well. I saw a flat dirt road built behind the main gate of the village, which extended to the meeting hall at the top of the village. There was no plaque such as "The Way of Heaven" hanging in front of the meeting hall.

This is a rare thing. Generally speaking, bandits who occupy the mountain and become kings would hang a plaque like "Performing the Way for Heaven" or "Journal of the Rights Hall", because this can show that they are a group of thieves and facilitate recruiting new thieves to join. However, this copycat seems very simple and does not engage in those arrogant and domineering things.

He couldn't help but ask Zhu Yuanzhang beside him: "Zhu Ba, why didn't your village hang flags or plaques?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed in his heart: It’s not expensive to make a plaque? It’s not just wasteful wood, but also wastes carpenter skills. I don’t like to do those false heads.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a thrifty person in his previous life. He never liked to play with false things and was very pragmatic. He thought so, but he said in a trepid tone: "How can that thing be up? Isn't it obvious that you want to go against the court when you erect those flags and plaques? We occupy this mountain just to find a place to settle down and not to go against the court."

The Ming Dynasty was a country established by Zhu Yuanzhang. If you want to say that you don’t want to go against this country, there may be no one in the world who is more sincere than Zhu Yuanzhang. When he said that “I don’t want to go against the court”, there was no falsehood, but letting go of his true heart. Therefore, this sentence is very sincere and I can’t help but move my country.

"This person... seems to be forced to rebel!" Lian Guoshi sighed in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang added: "Oh, who in this world would be willing to give up a comfortable life and run out to fight for life and death? They are all forced by natural disasters and corrupt officials."

As soon as he said this, a large number of villagers following behind couldn't help but speak together: "Yes, I don't have the intention to rebel. They were forced to rebel by this severe drought and corrupt officials."

Everyone said this together, and they were quite powerful. As an upright scholar, they deeply agreed with this sentence. You should know that scholars are not completely stupid. They generally know why the peasants rebelled, and even the court officials, Emperor Chongzhen himself, did not know the truth about the peasants' rebellion? It's just that they know this problem but cannot be solved.

"All good people!" Chairman Lian Guo sighed: "Don't worry, let's find a way to overcome this natural disaster. As for the forced persecution of corrupt officials, hum! I, the inspector, are specializing in arresting corrupt officials."

The villagers on both sides of the mountain road knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Master Qingtian is the master of us!"

This scene was really full of performance. A few tears came from the corner of Jian's eyes. He walked along the mountain road, and villagers rushed over on both sides of the road and knelt on the side of the road. After a while, he knelt out on a ten-mile long street to welcome the clean officials. This scene really made Jian's state affairs full of energy and arrogant.

Only Yang Hong followed behind with a dark face, his eyes emitting a warning light. He didn't believe that Zhu Ba would be so easy to speak. All of this must be acting! It must be discussed by the thieves in advance. He had such an idea and then came to see the villagers kneeling on the roadside. Sure enough, he saw some people with poor acting skills shouting, "Master Qingtian is the master of us." There was a hint of laughter on the corner of his mouth.

Yang Hong couldn't help but pull the sleeves of the state affairs and whispered in his ear: "Sir, don't be deceived by these cunning thieves, their intentions are simply dissatisfied."

"Stop talking nonsense here, exaggerating!" Lian state affairs gave Yang Hong a dissatisfied look: "Why are these people not sincere? I see that they are all good people, and they are good people of my Ming Dynasty. I have decided to save them from dire straits."

This scholar and literati are most afraid of being foolish. Once the ill disease occurs, even eight horses cannot be pulled back. Yang Hong sighed and said nothing.

Soon, the long mountain road was completed, and Lian State Affairs came to the main hall of the mountain village. There were already a group of mountain leaders waiting for him in the main hall. Everyone invited him to the first seat to sit down. Lian State Affairs said: "If you have any grievances, you can raise them to me now. After this official considers it, I will repay the grievances you have raised to Yushi Wu and Governor Yang. As long as the court can avenge you, it will definitely do it."

This is the short stubbornness under the court. Although it is about seeking grievances, people who are not obsessed with it can understand it. This means: make the conditions, how much money is needed? How much reward is needed? What official position is the leader? Just list it, if the court can solve it, you will solve it. Then you will be good people and stop being bandits again.

As soon as he said this, everyone turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to propose conditions.

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly, first winked at Wang Er and others next to him, saying, "The dispute can start", then bowed to Lian Guoshi and said seriously: "When Xiaomin saw the censor's righteousness, he only hoped to return to the court's arms as soon as possible to be a good citizen, so he would first decide the time for responsiveness... This matter is sooner and sooner, the better."

Of course, the faster the better. This is exactly the same as the intention of practicing state affairs. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, the faster the better! Well... It's early May, and I think May 15th is a good day. Why don't you come out to receive servitude on that day?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy and seemed to be about to agree. Suddenly, a desperate man walked out of the side and shouted: "It's not appropriate!"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Everyone turned their heads and stared at him.

Psycho Saburo shouted: "On May 15th, there are two fives on this day. Five means nothing, and nothing means nothing, which is too unlucky. After we are dependent on our hometown, wouldn't we have nothing? No, no! I don't agree with being dependent on this day."

"Then when did you say?" Lian Guoshi was slightly angry.

"Of course it's June 6th." Pinming Saburo said seriously: "The so-called Six Six Great Sutra means that everything goes well, let's use this day."

When I heard about the state affairs, it made sense: "Then it will be June 6..."

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him shouted: "It's not appropriate!"

It turned out to be two brothers, Lion and Dog. The two brothers said together: "What is the best thing for six or six? That's fortune telling. We two brothers think June 10th is better."

"Why?" everyone asked.

"June 10th is the birthday of my two brothers." Mr. Lion said this for granted, and it is natural.

Everyone was speechless. Can this birthday be auspicious?

"I don't think it's right, I like June 5th!" Wang Er jumped out: "For a reason, there's no reason, I just like that day."

"No, I want June 8th!" Ma Xiaotian also came to join in the fun.

The meeting hall was suddenly in chaos, and the leaders each bite their own days and never let go of their lives. They were quarreling.

They quarreled for a while when they practiced state affairs, which made them dizzy and felt angry. They wanted to have anger, but he was afraid of angering the thieves, which made them unwilling to be slaughtered. So he acted like a master, insisted on not saying a word, and just looked at Zhu Ba with one pair of eyes, which meant: You are the leader, you will decide.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not decide this day? He just wanted to delay time. So he spread his hands and said to the leaders: "No one is it up to you to discuss and decide when you are dependent on the day of servitude? Where do you place the Governor and the Censor? In my opinion, the matter of servitude on which day of servitude should be decided by the emperor appointed by the emperor. No one here has the right to decide."

After hearing this, he felt it was reasonable, but the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor was Wu Qi, not him. Where is Wu Qi now? In Baishui City, he was guarding the treasury given by the emperor, and it was impossible for him to come to this mountain. How could he decide?

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed to him and said, "My Censor, why not write a letter to you, write down all the time the leaders have picked up on paper, and send the soldiers with Chengkuai to the city and hand them over to Master Wu to decide. Do you think so?"

"Okay!" Lian State Affairs was stunned by the noise and did not think deeply about the conspiracy behind this matter. Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to send paper and pen. He blew a roar and phoenix danced. He wrote a letter asking which day he would be better for dependents. Then Lian State Affairs handed the letter to an elite soldier and ordered: "Send it back to Baishui City, go and go quickly."

"Yes!" The elite soldier ran away with the letter as if he was flying.

It was not until the elite soldier ran away and practiced state affairs that he slapped his forehead. Hey? It took a long time to make trouble, and it seemed that the bandits had not started to make conditions yet. They made a fuss for a long time to be responsive.

He quickly corrected Zhengrong: "Okay, let's continue talking! Do you have any grievances?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed in his heart. He gave Ma Xiaotian another wink. This guy was the smartest. Seeing this, he immediately understood and walked out and said, "Sir Censor, before I went up the mountain to get weeds, I was a villager in Xigu Village. Our village is the poorest village in Baishui. The land in the village is barren and it is difficult to grow crops. I want to ask, can we move a lot for me after we become good people... I heard that the land in Leiya Township is relatively fat. Can we change it to the villagers of Leiya Township?"

It is not surprising that his request was that although the most reasonable plan for the bandits to return to their original homes, it is common for the court to arrange a new place for the bandits to take root and sprout when they recruited bandits. I didn't feel anything unusual in practicing state affairs, so I smiled and said, "It's no use for the court to solve such a small matter. I agree to your request..."

Before he finished speaking, the two lions and dogs next to him jumped out of the ground and shouted: "No! Isn't Leiya Township the hometown of our brothers? There is no extra land in our hometown to distribute to Ma Xiaotian... This guy doesn't like to be clean, doesn't learn, and snore at night. We don't want such a neighbor."

Practice state affairs: "..."
