The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 7 Arriving at Xi'an Mansion

This is the thinking of the little people in this era. To be a soldier is to eat the royal rations and fight for the court.

The imperial court pays money and food to go to war; the imperial court has no money and food, so it does not fight.

If the battle is won, follow the chiefs to ask for credit and receive rewards. If the battle is lost, each will find his mother according to his ability.

Having been here for thousands of years, Chen Hu didn't think there was anything wrong with him fleeing back from Saarhu.

"The foot strength of a villain is the second in the army, and no one dares to say that it is the first. This is not a villain's bragging." Chen Hu told Sun Jie about his ability with great interest.

The taciturn Zhao Dading moved closer to Sun Jie and said, "My brother's skills are unrivaled in the army, so don't worry, my lord!"

Liang Wu ran at the forefront with a Miao knife in his hand, his head was like a rattle, looking in all directions.

Born in Yebushou, he always pays attention to the surrounding environment, if there is a slight change, he will notify Sun Jie.

Sun Jie didn't speak anymore, and quietly let Chen Hu carry himself on his back.

Chen Hu didn't have much flesh on his back, it was skinny, and with the bumpy road, Sun Jie felt a little uncomfortable.

After eating a few full meals, if you want to restore your body, you have to take a good tonic.

Sun Jie didn't say anything, and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking, what method should he use to enter Xi'an Mansion?

Without a guide, I can't tell the origin of my identity, plus these three fugitives, if I want to enter Xi'an Mansion, it's tantamount to a dream.

But if you don't enter Xi'an Mansion, there is no way to realize your plan to make money.

As an important town in the northwest, Xi'an Mansion was the fortress defended by the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted his second child, Zhu Yu, to Xi'an Mansion, he began to repair the city of Xi'an Mansion.

After Hongwu, successive dynasties will also expand Xi'an Mansion.

For so many years, Xi'an Prefecture dare not say that it is impenetrable, and it is also one of the best strong cities in the world.

In the past few years, Shaanxi has not been peaceful, and banditry has continued. The Ming court has almost spared no effort in defending Xi'an Mansion.

Sun Jie, who is familiar with the history, knows that Sun Chuanting's army is stationed near the Xi'an Mansion, and the defense is extremely strict. If he wants to enter the Xi'an Mansion, he must first pass through the hands of these people.

As for sneaking into the city, it's hard to say.

For so many years around the Xi'an mansion, there have been many swords and swords. As the most important defense, how can they easily get in?

"There is no way to guide, it is really difficult to enter the city. Forget it, let's go there first. Xi'an Mansion is the most prosperous city in the northwest region, and it is also the place with the most rich people.

If you go to the south, it's even more nonsense.Thousands of miles away, there are many barriers on the road, and it is impossible to go.As for Jinmen, this thing is teleported from where it was when it left. There is no way around it! "

Sun Jie looked at the road ahead solemnly and fell into deep thought.

Sun Jie is still far away from Xi'an Mansion, but Sun Chuanting has already entered Xi'an Mansion.

When passing through the city gate, Sun Chuanting left an admonition to the soldiers guarding the city, "Tighten your guard and don't slack off," and then hurried to the governor's office.

Just when they came to the gate of the yamen, a servant in soap clothes rushed out from the door.

When he came to Sun Chuanting, he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, the Prime Minister came to you and said that I have something to tell you!"

Sun Chuanting jumped off the horse, handed the reins of the horse to the guard behind him, and looked at the soap-clothed government servant suspiciously, "My lord Prime Minister? Why is he looking for this officer?"

"I don't know, it's something important!" Zaoyi Yamen replied.

Sun Chuanting didn't ask any more questions. Looking at it like this, the matter shouldn't be too small.

He hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the camp of Wang Jiazhen, the prime minister of the five provinces.

At this time, the prime minister of the five provinces was Wang Jiazhen, who was mediocre and had no great ability.The original prime minister of the five provinces was Lu Xiangsheng.

In July of the [-]th year of Chongzhen, Jian slaves invaded the capital, Lu Xiangsheng was transferred away, Wang Jiazhen was appointed by Chongzhen, served as the left servant of the Ministry of War, and concurrently served as the censor of the capital of Youqin, Prime Minister of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Jiangbei military affairs, on behalf of Lu Xiangsheng to fight against thieves .

Originally, Lu Xiangsheng was in the Central Plains, together with Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, to encircle and suppress the rogues. If the battle goes well, it might be possible to deal a strong blow to the rogues.

But at this time, Jiannu entered Kou Jingshi and entered Changping.Chongzhen was flustered, and hurriedly transferred Lu Xiangsheng to lead the troops northward to serve the king, and this Wang Jiazhen took the position that Lu Xiangsheng took out.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting captured Gao Yingxiang in Zhouzhi, and the war in Shaanxi gradually calmed down, but the thieves fleeing in Henan had not yet been calmed down. Chongzhen hated the inaction of Henan governor Chen Biqian, so Wang Jiazhen took over his official position.

Not long ago, Ma Jinzhong, the chieftain of the bandits, invaded Nanyang, and Wang Jiazhen supervised his division in Nanyang.

Zuo Liangyu's department was transferred, but Zuo Liangyu's department did nothing, and Wang Jiazhen was originally a person with mediocre qualifications. Although he had made some contributions, the situation began to deteriorate.

Chongzhen was gradually dissatisfied, so he dismissed Wang Jiazhen as the prime minister of the five provinces and let him be the governor of Henan.

As for the posts of prime ministers of the five provinces, Xiong Wencan will take over.

As for Hong Chengchou, he is the trilateral governor of Shaanxi, the trilateral military affairs governor of Ningxia Town, Gansu Town and Yansui Town.

Adding the title of Prince Taibao, Minister of the Ministry of War, and even the governor of the five provinces of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan for a while, he is a powerful figure and a big official with soldiers and territory in his hands.

It is now mid-March, and Xiong Wencan's appointment will not be issued until early April, but the transfer order to Wang Jiazhen has already reached Wang Jiazhen's hands, but Sun Chuanting, who has been busy with military affairs, has not paid too much attention to these matters.

Wang Jiazhen also returned to Shaanxi some time ago, mainly to hand over things in Shaanxi to Sun Chuanting.

After changing his clothes, Sun Chuanting came to Wang Jiazhen's camp with two or three followers.

Wang Jiazhen's camp is not far from the governor's office, which is the distance of two streets.

Under the leadership of the servants, Sun Chuanting came to the study.

Sun Chuanting is the governor of Shaanxi, and his official position is under Wang Jiazhen, so he made an official ceremony and saluted Wang Jiazhen.

"I've seen you!" Sun Chuanting's tone was calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

Wang Jiazhen quickly got out from behind the desk and helped Sun Chuanting up.

"Master Sun has made great achievements and is the pillar of the imperial court. This old man is nothing more than a mediocre person. How can he afford such a burden?!" Wang Jiazhen's tone was more flattering.

This made Sun Chuanting puzzled, your official position is above me, you are my immediate boss, it is only right for me to greet you, why do you sound so yin and yang?

Before Sun Chuanting could speak, Wang Jiazhen explained the truth.

"The old man is no longer the prime minister of the five provinces. Now he is the governor of Henan. You and I are on the same level. Why do you need to salute?!" Wang Jiazhen's face was a little more self-deprecating.

He is just a person who is rejected by the emperor, but Sun Chuanting is a rising star in the fight against rebellion.His future is irresistible, and the status of the two has begun to deviate.

This is the way of life where people walk in tea, and they are not leaders anymore, so how can they put on the airs of leaders?

This surprised Sun Chuanting. How could such a big event be so sudden?

Wang Jiazhen began to explain again: "At that time, the old man was still in Henan, and His Majesty's transfer order came here. Maybe Mr. Sun is focusing on military affairs, and there is still a distance between Henan and Shaanxi, so it's normal not to know. This time when I return to Shaanxi, I just pack up and hand over the affairs! "

"So do you know who is the new prime minister of the five provinces?" Sun Chuanting asked hastily.

Everyone has the same utilitarian mind, no matter who they are.

Sun Chuanting made great contributions during his tenure as governor of Shaanxi.

Although he knew that the hope was a bit slim, he still hoped that he would be the next prime minister of the five provinces.

Wang Jiazhen shook his head, "I don't know the specific old man, but according to the gossip from the capital, it seems to be Xiong Wencan. It is said that he made a suggestion of 'five difficulties and four musts' to His Majesty, which was valued by His Majesty. As for the 'five difficulties' I don't know what the Four Musts' are."

Chongzhen's old habit was committed again, and he liked to listen to empty words.This was the case with Yuan Chonghuan back then, and now there is another Xiong Wencan.

Sun Chuanting was slightly disappointed, but it took only a moment for him to return to normal.

"So that's it!" Sun Chuanting said calmly.

When they walked out of Wang Jiazhen's camp, it was already dark.

Looking at the sky full of stars, Chief Sun Chuanting sighed: "Don't talk about being a marquis in your life, but only wish to pay homage to the crown!"

Shaking his head, the figure gradually drifted away and disappeared into the night.

Most of the fields around Xi'an Mansion are the estates of King Qin's family.

After nearly 300 years of accumulation and plunder, King Qin has already become the largest family in Shaanxi.

The current king of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, doesn't know how much land his family has, and it's all taken care of by servants in the mansion.

After all, they are blood relatives of the royal family, and the property of Prince Qin's mansion must be protected in times of war.

The surrounding area of ​​Xi'an Mansion is heavily guarded, and the thieves also know that Xi'an Mansion is not a place to be provoked, so they basically avoid it.

Because of this, most of the land properties here have been preserved, and most of them are safe and sound.

After the bandits gradually leveled off, Sun Chuanting transferred all available soldiers away.

This is not an important place, the thieves are almost beaten, what's the use of leaving too many soldiers and horses here?

King Qin didn't come out for military pay and food, so why waste time at his house?

It was also like this that Sun Jie took advantage of the loophole.

In the fields in March, winter wheat sprouted sparsely.

Sun Jie was carried by Chen Hu, and ran wildly to the edge of the field.

Chen Hu and the others, who were born in poverty, tried to avoid the wheat fields and ran, even if the grains were not theirs, the concepts they had cultivated in childhood still drove them.

The green shoots are sparse, and they look malnourished.

Without pesticides and chemical fertilizers, high grain yields are undoubtedly nonsense.

"My lord, ten miles ahead is the Xi'an Mansion. In the early years, I followed the adults to suppress bandits around the Xi'an Mansion, so I am familiar with this place.

The fields around here should belong to Prince Qin. "Chen Hu put Sun Jie down, panting heavily.

Sun Jie asked Zhao Dading and Liang Wu to put down the suitcases on their backs, took out several bottles of mineral water from them, and distributed two bottles to each of the three.

Although he was shocked that there is such a magical and transparent "baby" bottle in the world, his actions did not stop.

It's just that it has never been lifted, and I fumbled for a while on the mineral water bottle, and I don't know how to start.

Sun Jie took out a bottle, unscrewed the bottle cap under the amazed eyes of the three, and began to drink freely.

The three followed suit, opened the bottle cap, and started to drink.

"Hiss, ha!"

Chen Hu drank the mineral water in one breath, and smiled, "Sweet, so sweet, this water is so sweet!"

The environment in Yansui Town is harsh, and the water they eat has high alkalinity and a slightly bitter taste.

Compared with the water in Yansui Town, the mineral water from later generations is simply divine water.

Chen Hu, who had never drank such clean water, was naturally attracted by the sweet taste.

Carefully put the cap on the bottle again, reluctant to throw away the bottle, carefully placed it on the ground, and opened another bottle.

Three times, five divisions and two divisions, several people drank all the mineral water Sun Jie handed out in one gulp.

"Give me this bottle, prepare to burn it, and erase the traces to prevent people from discovering it." Looking at the few people who were preparing to treasure the bottle, Sun Jie said.

Chen Hu became anxious all of a sudden, "My lord, this bottle is still in good condition, so crystal clear, it looks like something from a fairy family.

Even if it's useless, it can't be burned, and it's good to keep it as a family heirloom, so that future generations can feel immortal! "

Instead of laughing at Chen Hu's petty attitude, Sun Jie persuaded: "This thing is worthless and useless. I will get you better ones in the future!"

Sun Jie obviously underestimated Chen Hu's determination, holding the bottle tightly in his hands with a look of reluctance.

Zhao Dading and Liang Wu are also like this, looking reluctant to part.

Sun Jie had no choice but to let them go, as long as they didn't show off indiscriminately.

"Okay, let's go forward! The Xi'an Mansion is ahead, think of a way to see if you can get in! By the way, temporarily bury your weapons and those two boxes in the nearby ground, otherwise, it will be too attractive Pay attention! Let's check the situation first!" Sun Jie gave some instructions and started to move forward. Chen Hu and the others followed Sun Jie's orders after finishing their work.

After walking for a while, several half-built earthen houses appeared.

At this time, the characteristic buildings in Shaanxi, the land of Shaanxi, especially in the Guanzhong area, most of the houses are half houses like this.

This kind of house saves materials and is cheap.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is because the productive forces are underdeveloped and the people are poor.

The sun began to rise, and people carrying farm tools came out of the house one after another.

These people are basically tenants of the Qin family, and the land they plant is all the land of the Qin family.

Are these tenants difficult?It's really difficult, I can hardly eat enough, and I can't save a few pennies throughout the year.

Then again, it was much better than those self-cultivating farmers.

These tenants only need to pay the rent to the Qin Palace, and ignore everything else.

And self-cultivating farmers have to pay a lot of taxes every year.

Almost all of the three major salaries in the late Ming Dynasty came from self-cultivating farmers all over the world.

The King of Qin is a relative of the emperor, and the whole world belongs to their old Zhu family. How can they pay taxes?

One of the big reasons for the financial bankruptcy in the late Ming Dynasty was that there were too many moths in the imperial court.

These tenants had lived here for decades, and they rarely saw outsiders. Now that the four of them, Sun Jie, suddenly appeared here, they immediately attracted the attention of these people.

Sun Jie showed a smile on his face, his teeth were slightly exposed, and he walked towards the tenants with a warm face: "Don't worry, everyone, I just happened to pass by here, I am not a thief!"

If it was someone else, maybe these tenants would not have given Sun Jie the chance to say this and turned around and ran away.

Sun Jie, with red lips and white teeth, has a dignified appearance, and a well-fitting and generous clothes, which sets off his full dignity.

The clothes on these tenants were like rags, their faces were covered with sallowness, and their shapes looked haggard.

The sudden appearance of Sun Jie gave people a new feeling.

A society that looks at faces has always existed. A good-looking person, whether in ancient or modern times, is very popular.

People who are kind and handsome will always be subconsciously convinced.

The king of Qin sent people here to publicize the traits of thieves before.

The propagandists said that the thieves were all shabby households, poor and skinny, like living wolves.Even if they broke through a certain county, even if they got good clothes, they would wear them all on their bodies without paying attention to their manners.

That's right, the rebels these days are basically people who can't survive, but if they can survive, how can they be thieves?

"This man looks like a foreigner at first glance. Recently, banditry has become more and more serious. Could this man be a bandit?" An old man muttered softly, frowning while carrying a hoe.

"I don't see it. People say that those gangsters are like living wolves. I don't think so, this little brother.

It should be the son-in-law of the Juren master's family. How can there be such a good-looking person among the gangsters? " said a young man.

These tenants gathered together and discussed a lot, leaving Sun Jie there.
