The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 390
One morning, Zhu Jinzhang hoeed the ground for an hour.

This was not over yet, when he saw an old farmer tremblingly carrying dung, he took the courage from the old farmer's shoulders in full view.

The king of Liaoping Mansion, under the watchful eyes of the officials and the people, carried three loads of manure for the old farmer.

While proving that there is nothing wrong with his body, Zhu Jinzhang has greatly gained the hearts of the people.

For the icing on the cake, Zhu Jinzhang also personally took two big steamed buns from his lunch and gave them to the old farmer's two little grandsons.

King Ming loves the people and is close to the people, and it is clearly shown in front of the people like this, which made many people want to die on the spot.

Feeling the reverent eyes of the people around him, Zhu Jinzhang was extremely satisfied, and finally today was not in vain.

It looked like he had done enough work, and it was noon, so Zhu Jinzhang organized his ministers to have lunch.

Everyone was in the field for lunch, but when the food was served, everyone present was dumbfounded.

There is only a plate of wild vegetables in front of each person, and there is not even a minimum of steamed buns, so the tree roots are almost served.

The taste and taste of wild vegetables are bad, and the officials present don't eat them on weekdays, after all, they have the conditions to eat better.

The big guys followed suit to rebel, not just trying to live a good life.

Seeing that the people did not move their chopsticks, Zhu Jinzhang directly picked up the plate with wild vegetables, then looked at the ministers and said, "This is what the common people eat when they work, and we will also eat this at noon today!"

After speaking, without waiting for others to speak, Zhu Jinzhang picked up the chopsticks and ate it, as if the wild vegetables were delicious.

After taking a few big mouthfuls, Zhu Jinzhang's expression collapsed when he saw that only a few people were eating and the others were still motionless.

He put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you eat? What? Do you think the lunch today is too bad?"

The words have already been said for this sake, how can everyone not eat, are they more noble than Zhu Jinzhang?
Everyone had no choice but to do what they could, and took chopsticks to send wild vegetables to their mouths. Originally, they wanted to forget about a hungry meal.

Seeing everyone moving their chopsticks, Zhu Jinzhang said earnestly: "Brothers, you eat well on weekdays, I am afraid you have forgotten how miserable we are and how miserable our people are!"

"Eat more wild vegetables, let you feel it, and it must also make you sober!"

Zhu Jinzhang's purpose is so simple, no one can find any problem, and many people also understand Zhu Jinzhang's painstaking efforts.

But his arrangement had some surprises.

Seeing that officials eat wild vegetables, the common people feel more balanced and more loyal to Zhu Jinzhang.

The battle with Prince Yong's Mansion is imminent. For Zhu Jinzhang, he not only wants to develop his own strengths as Zhang Ziming said, but also develops his own strengths.

War has never been a contest between arms and troops, and it also has the support of the hearts of the soldiers and the people. What Zhu Jinzhang wants is the hearts of the soldiers and the people.

Everyone accepted the wild vegetables and started to eat them in silence.

Wu Pingxuan was one of the few people who took the initiative to eat wild vegetables, and he was sitting beside Zhu Jinzhang at the moment.

"Your Highness, a battle with Prince Yong's Mansion is inevitable. I think we should do everything possible to fight to the death with Prince Yong's Mansion!"

Seeing Wu Pingxuan speak, Zhu Jinzhang asked, "What do you think?"

"I think that the spies placed in Prince Yong's mansion may be useful for another second!"

"How to use it magically?"

"Your Highness, King Yong Zhao Yanxun lives in the palace, if you can try to kill him in the palace, wouldn't it be a one-and-done thing?"

"This... I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

Wu Pingxuan smiled: "As long as the design is proper, it is not impossible!"

Zhu Jinzhang nodded, and then said: "You plan this matter first, and report it when you have an idea!"

"Yes!"

As an aide, Wu Pingxuan has to use his brains. Only by showing his own value can his position be stabilized.

The scene was silent for a while, even if someone spoke, they were very quiet. After all, who would want to chat after eating wild vegetables.

Under such circumstances, the cry of a child from a distance easily reached Zhu Jinzhang's ears.

Logically speaking, it is not a big deal for a child to cry, but if it is accompanied by soldiers scolding, then the problem will be different.

Zhu Jinzhang's seat was higher. When he looked at the place where the sound came from, he could easily see a few soldiers arguing with the farmers.

"Go to two people and see what's going on!" Zhu Jinzhang said with a cold face.

Immediately, an entourage rushed over, and the man returned after a while, and the entourage included the two soldiers who were arguing with the people.

"What's going on?" Zhu Jinzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to the prince, the two of them took the child's things and started arguing with the little baby's family!"

"Take something from the child? Do you take it or grab it?"

"This..." The follower couldn't answer.

Hearing a "bang", Zhu Jinzhang slapped the table, startling everyone who was eating normally.

I saw Zhu Jinzhang looked at Zhang Ziming who was on the side, and said: "Brother Zhang, you are right, it is time for us to rectify military affairs!"

"Come on, bring those two bastards here!"

The soldiers who were in charge of the guards immediately went to a few people and escorted the two soldiers who committed the crime.

"Your Majesty!"

"Tell... what did you do!"

Being escorted in front of Zhu Jinzhang, the two soldiers were so frightened that they lost their minds. One of them kowtowed and said, "My lord, we know we were wrong!"

"I know I'm wrong? Are you wrong?" Zhu Jinzhang asked back.

"We shouldn't be taking children's things!"

"What did you take? Take it out and let me see!" Zhu Jinzhang's tone became colder.

"The two steamed buns have already been returned to the two children!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinzhang became even more angry.

Farmers couldn't afford steamed buns, so what these two people robbed was the two that they rewarded.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinzhang was furious.

"Old Wu, what is the crime for robbing the people?"

The military law is formulated by Wu Pingxuan, so it is natural to ask him at this time.

"It depends on the situation. It's as light as a military stick. If the situation is bad, you can be punished on the spot!"

"Come here, drag them down, and cut them off in front of the common people!"

Upon hearing this, the two soldiers kneeling on the ground seemed to be struck by lightning, one of them collapsed to the ground, and the other quickly kowtowed: "My lord, spare me, my lord, spare me!"

"My lord, I just took two steamed buns, just hit them with military sticks more, and give them a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!" An officer below pleaded.

Several people immediately echoed these words, and even Wu Pingxuan pleaded for mercy. He also thought that Zhu Jinzhang's punishment was too much.

"My lord, if the punishment is too severe, I'm afraid the army will panic!" Wu Pingxuan said the most crucial sentence.

"Nianza Zhuqing pleaded for the two of you, and spared your lives for the time being, dragging it on... In front of the people, beat them with fifty army sticks!"

"Yes!"

It is good to use heavy codes in troubled times, but Zhu Jinzhang also has to consider the stability of the army, and the idea of ​​​​the common people's importance to the army is also very important.

But this incident also made Zhu Jinzhang vigilant, and he wanted to rectify it in the army.

It is difficult to guarantee the combat effectiveness of an army with lax military discipline, and implementing Zhang Ziming's interspersed tactics has become empty talk.
