Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 7 Usefulness
When Zhu Yixi returned to the courtyard, he saw Big Zhu and the three of them were looking forward to him, and when they saw him from afar, they came up to meet him.

Immediately, they were stunned when they saw a carriage following behind them and the grain piled up on it.

"What are you looking at? Move in quickly!"

Zhu Yixi yelled, and the three of them came back to their senses.

"Sovereign, you, you are amazing."

Thirteen hurriedly searched up and down, and after finding out that there was no injury, he said in amazement: "Is this food brought back from the Qin Palace?"

"Borrowed, borrowed."

Zhu Yixi said calmly: "Our clan is so hungry, we can only go to the Prince Qin's mansion to fight the autumn wind, move back quickly!"

"Hey!" The other two also carried it with a smile.

"Big head, let me tell you, the suzerain is capable, and he won't be hungry." Big Zhu said in a low voice.

"That's right!" Datou nodded fiercely, with a smile on his simple and honest face: "The suzerain is very capable of digging out food from Prince Qin's mansion!"

Although the Prince Qin's Mansion is rich, it is stingy in the same vein. This is obvious to all in Xi'an City. It is indeed a great skill to get food.

After finally putting away the food, everyone was sweating.

Looking at the accumulated food, Zhu Yixi suddenly felt that he would not have to worry about food and clothing for several months.

In this way, he bid farewell to starving to death for a short time.

"Sovereign, not long after you left, the Governor's Mansion sent this!"

Thirteen smiled openly, holding a pass token.

"They asked you to go to the barracks tomorrow!"

"understood!"

Zhu Yixi nodded and said, then looked at Zhu Datou and Zhu Dagao who were anxious, and then said: "From today on, you will stay at my place, anyway, there are a lot of rooms."

The two looked at each other, overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you suzerain, thank you suzerain!"

"By the way, did you get the willow leaves back?"

"Sovereign, although there are many poor people, no one will eat the willow leaves, so we used half a bucket of flour and exchanged twenty baskets, which is about a hundred!"

Big Zhu stepped forward and said regretfully, "Sovereign, this thing is really inedible!"

"I am useful."

Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice: "Also, from now on, whatever I give you, you are only allowed to obey, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, and you can't talk nonsense to the outside world, you understand?"

"Yes!" The two were stunned for a moment, awed by its majesty, and hurriedly bowed their hands in response.

The thirteenth look was stunned, and he responded immediately.

"In the future, whenever I have a mouthful of food, you will have a mouthful of food to eat, and you will never starve to death."

Zhu Yixi said solemnly.

The three of them froze, then nodded fiercely
In the evening, it was steamed buns, and several people ate them happily.

Zhu Yixi was roasting on the fire and fell into thinking.

After ensuring that they will not starve to death, the next step is to expand the small group of four, and then form the ability to protect themselves in this troubled world.

When it comes to pulling wool, there are quite a lot of people in Sun Chuanting's place, so they are just stingy.

In terms of money and food, the place with the most food is in the Qin Palace.

How can there be a way to pluck the wool?
"Sect Master!" Suddenly, a soft cry woke him up.

Turning his head to look, the thin big man Zhu, with a smile on his face, said tentatively: "Sect Master, we used three buckets of grain today, and now we still have five stones and seven buckets. Save some food, and it will last half a year."

"Huh?" Zhu Yixi looked at his shrewd expression and asked in doubt, "What do you want to say?"

"Hey!" Rubbing his hands, Big Zhu was embarrassed, his eyes were a little uncertain, and after a while, he took courage and said sincerely: "If we exchange this fine flour for some coarse grains, we can exchange one catty for four catties , enough for us to eat for two years."

"Change coarse grains?" Zhu Yixi patted his head, suddenly realized, and looked at Big Zhu differently: "Do you have connections?"

"Hey!" Big Zhu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Sect Master, go to the grain store, you can only exchange three catties of coarse grain for one catty, but I know Zhu Juren, and I can exchange four catties!"

Zhu Juren and Zhu Yixi also knew him. His real name was Zhu Yiquan, and he was the clan of Qin Fan.

After winning the Juren, the so-called title of lieutenant was naturally abolished, and he jumped up and became a master, and the king of Qin couldn't control it.

"Hey!"

Zhu Yixi was very envious when he heard it.

If he had a reputation, he would have run away if he knew about it, why is he still in Xi'an City.

"Keep one bucket, and change the rest."

Zhu Yixi waved his hand, and then looked at him seriously, the big man was a little panicked.

"From today onwards, you are the accountant."

Zhu Yixi asked, "Can you read?"

"Sovereign, the younger one has studied religious studies for a few years, so I will."

Big Zhu was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

"Okay, I will teach you a more practical method in two days."

"Thank you, suzerain!" Seeing that he was useful, Big Zhu no longer panicked, and immediately raised his head and chest, full of complacency.

Seeing this, the big head became jealous, hurriedly walked over and said, "Suzerain, Suzerain, what can I do?"

"You?" Seeing Datou's burly figure, Zhu Yixi thought for a while and said, "You can be the guard to protect our safety."

"it is good!"

Zhu Datou was also overjoyed, patted his chest and said: "Those villains must never get close to your body."

"What about me?" Thirteen's little head also stretched out, looking eagerly.

"You!"

Zhu Yixi hesitated for a while, and said, "You are the cook, help us tidy up our clothes and eat."

"Okay!" Grinning, the twelve-year-old child showed a heartfelt smile.

The small group was initially formed, and Zhu Yixi was also a little happy. Against the backdrop of the fire, her yellow and thin face showed a trace of relaxation.

The next day, under the protection of the personal guard Zhu Datou, Zhu Yixi came to the barracks fully dressed, wearing a waist card, and holding two baskets of willow leaves.

In the First World War last year, the elite were wiped out. Sun Chuanting trained [-] recruits. Just outside Xi'an, he formed four battalions, corresponding to the four guards, and continued to practice.

In the past six months, it has begun to take shape.

Among them, Bai Guangen commanded the elite train battalion, and Gao Jie commanded the cavalry, which can be described as the backbone of the Qin army under Sun Chuanting's command.

At this time, Zhu Yixi came to rely on the train battalion.

The train battalion of the Qin Army, a battalion has 6600 soldiers, 1985 various muskets and 344 various artillery pieces.

From the looks of it, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong.

However, when Zhu Yixi came, he saw that many soldiers walked slowly, and it was very difficult to push the chariot.

Needless to say, it must be beriberi.

After the token passed, Zhu Yixi looked forward to it and was quite disappointed.

The soldiers are thin and thin, with thin armor and few horses, mostly donkeys, horses and mules.

Chariots, mostly unicycles and two-wheelers, are thin and weak. They are naturally powerful when they encounter Mongolian light cavalry or refugees, but they are food delivery vehicles when they encounter heavy armored Eight Banners soldiers.

However, many of the artillery are small tiger squatting cannons with limited lethality. For cavalry, they are better than nothing.
