Just in front of the road, Zhu Gaoxu and his group of more than a dozen people arrived at the place, they saw a group of people gathered outside the yard, all surrounded by an old man in a long robe.

This place should be Tang Saier's house. The roof of the yard is covered with tiles. As expected, her family does not seem to be very poor. Because along the way, Zhu Gaoxu saw that there were occasionally thatched houses in some villages.

Zhu Gaoxu and others got off the horse and walked over. The old man with a long robe knelt down on the ground with a few people and bowed to the ground, saying, "The old man's surname is Tang, and he is a fellow villager here. The adults passed by the village, and he was far away to welcome him. How dare you ask the adults' name Gao?"

However, the onlookers did not salute or kneel, and still stood around, watching the villagers talking to the officials like watching a show. Asari was a Semi-sama, which was rare in the countryside of Daming. Many villagers were paying attention to Asari, probably because they were strange.

Hou Hai turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu raised his chin slightly to indicate.

"My hometown elders ask for it." Hou Hai went up to help him and said, "I am the left envoy of the Guardian Department, Hou Hai, who is Tian Xiuyuan, the Tongzhi of Binzhou Prefecture."

The hometown elder said, "I have been long and long. Lord Hou is an official in the capital? I heard that the emperor is lucky to Binzhou. Could it be that Lord Hou has arrived here with the emperor? "

Hou Hai smiled and said, "The hometown elders have a good understanding."

Zhu Gaoxu also felt that this fellow villager knew more than Li Zhizhi, and he was also a person who had read books when he heard him. At this time, most of the landlords who were wealthy in the local area were willing to read and read.

The fellow villager turned around and waved, "Come here quickly, your father is having an affair with a noble man."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked behind his hometown, and then he saw a tall girl coming over. She was probably Tang Sai'er.

Li Zheng said that she was only fifteen years old, but she was about the same size as the man around her, with straight facial features and slightly tall cheekbones. She was not wearing a skirt, and her long top was tied with a cloth rope around her waist. The clothes that were not cut were a little bloated, and she was wearing pants under her. Although her clothes were very old, she still looked quite heroic. The young lady had good skin, but her hands were big and rough.

In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, Tang Sai'er was not very beautiful, but he was not disappointed, just thinking that her temperament was really different from that of ordinary village girls.

It is said that in history, after Tang Sai'er failed to rebel, Zhu Di searched and arrested a large number of nuns and female Taoist priests in order to find her, but he still found nothing. Now, this woman who may want to overthrow the Zhu family dynasty stood in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaoxu was in a complicated mood for a moment.

"Minister Tang Sai'er greets you all," Tang Sai'er bowed.

Hou Haidao: "No gift."

Tang Sai'er said: "Dear sirs, neighbors, don't stand at the door, please sit in the house. My father is not at home, so the girl cooks some coarse tea to entertain everyone."

Zhu Gaoxu heard that she spoke clearly and behaved generously, but he felt that this woman should have some control ability. Even if she wanted to lead a group of poor peasants uprising, she needed some ability. Those who could not speak clearly and were afraid of their words and deeds could not do it.

So everyone walked into the yard together. Tang Sai'er led the way on the front side. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she turned around and asked, "How did my father know the noble man?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. He was self-righteous and was of course unwilling to lie in public easily, even if it was just to make excuses. Besides, the person who fooled Li Zheng before was Hou Hai, so of course Hou Hai should come to smooth things over at this time.

Hou Hai pondered for a moment and said, "We have a son of the same clan who went to Beijing to take the exam. There were a few bandits on the way, but they didn't know that he was a scholar, so they stopped the Daoji. At that time, there was a Shandong hero who was helping him when he saw unfairness on the road. Later, the hero reported to his family, saying that he was from Binzhou, and also talked about the female name Tang Sai'er in his family. The official happened to pass by here recently, so he came to search."

Tang Sai'er asked, "Mr. Hou, when and where did that happen?"

Hou Hai turned his head and said, "Young Master Hong, Tian Tongzhi, please." He pretended to be polite with Zhu Gaoxu and others, and ignored Tang Sai'er's words. If this question is answered, it will definitely be in trouble on the spot. How could Hou Hai know when Tang's father and where he worked?

Fortunately, Tang Sai'er was not embarrassed to ask repeatedly, which was temporarily avoiding embarrassment.

Everyone sat in the dirt house on the front of the yard. Other villagers had not left. Some were standing in the yard, while some were looking for a place to squat and watch the fun. The villagers took a box of tea for Tang Sai'er. She said that the water had been boiled in advance, so she went to make tea.

Sure enough, Tang Sai'er came to entertain guests with a tea bowl, took a few thick bowls, took a basin of tea soup, and asked the villagers to drink tea together. She was busy and thought of everyone under the limited conditions.

Duan Xueheng, who was accompanying him, drank the tea in front of her first. After waiting for a while, she changed Zhu Gaoxu's bowl with her own bowl.

The small details made the villagers stare at me for a moment. While talking to Hou Hai respectfully, the villagers frequently looked at Zhu Gaoxu and kept observing Zhu Gaoxu.

There were two women in the group, except for the Semen Asari, who was dressed as a man, Duan Xueheng. Even the high-ranking official Hou Hai in a red robe could not be served by the women accompanying him. And what is the identity of "Young Master Hong"? What is the essence of "Young Master"? Anything that is so expensive that it needs others to try first?

Zhu Gaoxu felt that his identity had been guessed by his fellow villagers. He could not stay here for a long time. It was not that there was any danger, but that it would be embarrassing to stay.

He looked at Tang Sai'er again. It was not certain whether Tang Sai'er had anything to do with the White Lotus Sect, but she obviously had not rebelled yet.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that the important factors of the Shandong uprising might have played a limited role. He thought: One reason is that the local area once had too heavy burdens and the people had difficulty in making a living. The other reason is that the White Lotus Sect organization. If there is no organization, people will obviously be unable to fight against the government.

He finally made up his mind and said, "Today we have received hospitality, we have prepared some fine gifts. I heard that Mrs. Tang has engaged to the Lin family and waited for Lingzun to return home, so I will add some dowry as your family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, immediately stood up, took off a treasure bag from his waist, and sent it to Zhu Gaoxu with both hands. Zhu Gaoxu held it in his hand and heard the sound of metal collision inside, which should be some silver and copper coins.

Zhu Gaoxu handed over to the direction of Tang Saier standing.

Tang Sai'er said: "My father taught me a lesson. The common women dare not receive favors for no reason."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Ling Zun is not at home, you should bear it for him."

Tang Sai'er said: "My father helped him on the road, not to get rewards."

The fellow villagers said, "If Zilu saves the drowning, the man worships him with a cow, and Zilu receives it. Confucius said that people from Lu must save the drowning."

Tang Sai'er looked confused.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "What the hometown elder means is that your father helps others in emergency and you will receive benefits. Everyone is willing to help you in the future. This is a good thing for the people's customs. I hope that after your father returns to his hometown, your family can live a stable life and the villagers can also be safe."

After hearing this, Tang Sai'er stepped forward to collect the gift bag and bowed to thank him.

So Zhu Gaoxu got up and said, "I'm upset, we have to say goodbye."

Tang Sai'er said: "I haven't asked the hero about his surname Gao yet."

Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "No need, I will accompany my friend to take a walk. Just recognize this Hou Zuo envoy, Hotan Tongzhi."

Everyone walked out of the room and asked the guards to lead the horses over. Then, under the gaze of a group of villagers, the villagers and Tang Sai'er were both sent outside the yard.

At this time, the sun was already west, and the group rode straight back in the direction of the military camp and soon found the main road.

Walking on the road, Duan Xuehen suddenly caught up and asked directly: "How can the Master know Tang Sai'er?"

When Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, he saw Hou Hai and others looking curiously. Hou Hai did not dare to ask, but Duan Xuehen sometimes had to be much more casual in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

"The name made up casually." Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to answer, "The name of the little girl in the village, Sai Jinhua, Sai'er is a common name. I just want to find a commoner to see the days of the common people in the Ming Dynasty."

Duan Xuehen seemed not very satisfied with this answer, but she could not say in public that the emperor lied to her, so she had to give up.

Hou Hai's voice said: "The Lord cares about the people, and it is a blessing for the people of Daming."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Hou Hai and said, "What did you say when you meet a robber in the same clan when you take the exam? Tang Sai'er's father came back to his hometown and immediately exposed it."

Hou Hai bowed embarrassingly: "In a hurry, I didn't expect a good statement for a moment. Please forgive me for your sins."

"Forget it, don't worry about this little thing anymore." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Everyone returned to the military camp, and Zhu Gaoxu entered the headquarters of the central army, and let the accompanying civil and military personnel disperse. Duan Xuehen and Asari were together these two days, they followed him to the civilian houses in the Tuyuan.

Asari's voice said: "I thought the emperor and the Khan would only care about court wars and major events, or the struggles between large tribes. His Majesty the Emperor personally visited the villagers and cared about the serfs, but I really didn't expect it."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at her and said, "The Ming Dynasty did not have a serf system. Moreover, no matter how powerful the empire is, its territory will eventually fall apart. No matter how much gold and silver is stored, it will always disperse. Only those who live here are real. What we should care about most is the level of civilization of the people of the country."

Asari seemed to be confused and said, "Your Majesty doesn't care whether the military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty are weak?"

"It is human nature to be greedy for life and fear of death. Why should ordinary people not get along with themselves?" Zhu Gaoxu said, "Besides, the northern tribes are brave and fighting, but the cavalry has advantages for the time being. The day after the curtain call will not be too far away. There will be another judgment on the strength of the country in the future."

He didn't explain it too clearly, and Asari could not understand it anyway. Once industrial civilization begins, it is impossible for the little resources on the grassland to talk about martial arts and strengths. The brave and enthusiastic herdsmen will also turn their interests to be able to sing and dance.

Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking, but was still thinking about his own affairs in his heart.
