Chapter 31: Looking forward to the labor camp, thousands of people round up Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Captain, they were depressed when they left the city. Why do they suddenly seem to be talking and laughing?"
"After they left the city, they went to the Sanatorium to get to know Mr. Ye, and then went to Huimin Medical Center. Then they felt like they had found a treasure. They seemed to be in a good mood along the way."
"It's a pity that in order not to alert others, we followed them too far and couldn't hear what they were saying."
"..."
The other agent teammates made guesses in front of the squad leader based on what they saw and heard.
But the agent captain looked at their retreating figures and showed a cold smile.
In his opinion, he already knew why these people were suddenly in a good mood!
Judging from what they learned from the guard, these people were actually asking the guard to learn about the true character of their Lord Ye!
It is obvious that these people have understood that in addition to being a corrupt official on the surface, Mr. Ye is also a real parent official who cares about the people.
But such a character has become Ye Qing's most fatal weakness in the eyes of his enemies.
As the leader of Yanmen, Ye Qing has the people in his heart, so they can capture some people to threaten Ye Qing before the war begins.
But if Ye Qing is just a corrupt official who doesn't stick to trivial matters, then he may not be able to be threatened by the life and death of dozens or hundreds of people!
Can they be unhappy if they have caught the weakness of the Lord of Yanmen?
It would be nice not to celebrate in advance!
Thinking of this, the agent captain secretly made a decision.
He was not prepared to let these people sleep peacefully in the hotel for a night!
These spies and guests from Beiyuan should sleep in a cell on their first night in Yanmen County!
"You go back to the county government office from the east gate, mobilize a thousand crossbowmen, and first secretly surround the hotel where they are staying!"
"Yes, Captain!"
A young agent with sharp eyes parted ways with them immediately after answering.
At the same time, the captain also led others to follow while maintaining a safe distance.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others stopped at the edge of a field.
In fact, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who stopped after seeing an old farmer with a smiling face.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes,
Compared with farmers in other places, this old farmer has completely different mental outlooks.
They all have their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky, but while they are resting, they are still in the mood to sing hometown folk songs.
The key is that with his rosy face and energetic appearance, he looks like a man who, although tired, has had a good night's rest and has eaten and drank three good meals.
Seeing that the farmers were living well, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally more happy and more friendly.
"Brother!"
"Brother, how old are you this year?"
Taking advantage of the old farmer's rest, Zhu Yuanzhang not only came to know him directly, but also called him "old brother" more smoothly than anything else.
He is such a person. Even though he has already put on the dragon robe, when he sees the farmers, he still feels like he is seeing his relatives.
From the perspective of the old farmer, although the acquaintance in front of him was wearing rich clothes and clothes from a completely different class than himself, he could not feel any sense of difference at all.
There is no other reason,
Just because of the peasant bone marrow in Zhu Yuanzhang's bones and the true friendship he showed.
"You're sixty, where are you from?"
"It's rare that you wear such a beautiful outfit and are willing to call me brother."
In the eyes of Empress Ma and Mao Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have a natural affinity with the farmers, and they quickly became familiar with him.
This big farmer brother is also undefended and knows everything and talks about everything.
From the conversation between the two, Queen Ma learned some new news.
The old farmer told Zhu Yuanzhang that in fact, the reason why the crops grown by farmers like them look better than those grown in other places is that, in addition to their own high motivation, they must be well cultivated in the "reform-through-labor farm"!
The Laogai Farm not only optimizes and cultivates varieties of existing crops in Ming Dynasty, but is also committed to researching fresh cash crops.
As the old farmer gave an in-depth explanation of the labor camp, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were shocked for a moment, and their faces were filled with anticipation!
They also want to see this mysterious labor camp, as well as the [labor camp] that the waiter mentioned before, which allows a county to achieve meat-freedom!
But in their opinion, there is no need to be too anxious.
After the interview with Ye Qing tomorrow, just ask Ye Qing to take them to see it.
If it is true as the old farmer said, Zhu Yuanzhang may consider letting Ye Qing start with a larger official position in the capital!
"Brother, it's getting late. If it gets later, you have to go down to the city gate, and you won't be able to enter the city."
The old farmer looked at the remaining red clouds on the horizon and reminded him kindly.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the old farmer's calloused hand tightly: "Take care, brother. Don't worry, under the rule of His Majesty the Emperor, Ming Dynasty will be more and more prosperous."
The old farmer smiled and said: "His Majesty the Emperor's ambition is too far away, but to be lucky enough to live under Mr. Ye's command in this life, I already feel very ambitious."
The old farmer's words made the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face freeze slightly.
But it was just for that moment that my face looked a little ugly!
He knew that this old brother made an unintentional mistake, but he also made him aware of his shortcomings.
Ashamed!
In the hearts of the people in the border area, his position is not as important as that of their Lord Ye.
It’s a lie to say that I’m not jealous, and it’s also a lie to say that I don’t care at all.
But he also has the fighting spirit and ambition to motivate himself to work harder and not lose to a local official!
After bidding farewell to their fellow villagers, the three of them continued walking on the way back to the city.
And in their eyes, they also looked forward to the [Reform-through-Labor Farm] and [Re-education-through-Labor Ranch], and they were all looking forward to Mr. Ye personally leading them to inspect them.
Finally, they saw the city gate.
Just when they entered the city, the county government's deployment of troops and generals was completed.
On the street heading to [Yanmen Hotel],
Ten hundred-man brigades, led by Baihu generals, ran all the way to Yanmen Hotel.
"quick,"
"You go over there and ambush upstairs!"
"In a word, let me ambush Yanmen Hotel from all sides!"
"You are not allowed to disturb the residents, but you may not be allowed in or out. If there is any mistake, all households will go to the Military Justice Department to receive the penalty!"
"..."
After the plainclothes general Qianhu gave a quick order, he followed the other agents and went directly to the hotel lobby as a guest.
finally,
All the county gates have been keyed and locked.
At the same time, a thousand crossbowmen also formed an ambush around the Yanmen Hotel.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and the other three also saw the entrance of Yanmen Hotel.
"etc!"
But just when I entered the door,
Mao Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard, current commander of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, and future first commander of the Imperial Guards, suddenly frowned.
Chapter completed!
