(Everyone, you can give us suggestions on what else to post in the Easter Egg Chapter!)
Early morning, Liaoping Fucheng, inside the government office.
Zhu Jinzhang walked out of the inner house, and his closest officials were waiting in the yard.
What is more surprising is that today Zhu Jinzhang and all his confidants are wearing short-sleeved commoners, and they all look like old farmers.
In fact, before breakfast, most of them were farmers.
"Brother..."
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing Zhu Jinzhang come out, everyone waiting outside saluted, but there were differences in their titles.
With a smile on his face, Zhu Jinzhang said loudly: "Today, we brothers will go out of the city to hoe the fields and sow seeds carefully, so that the people can see... We are not officials who are domineering, but we are just like them, seeking a living."
people!"
Someone immediately answered: "Brother, have you recovered from your injury? Let me tell you, for this kind of thing... our brothers can do it for you!"
"What? You think, brother, I still have to stay in bed?"
Looking at everyone present, Zhu Jinzhang said solemnly: "Not to mention simple hoeing, just carrying manure and carrying food, that's not a problem!"
Ever since he was injured, Zhu Jinzhang's physical condition has been worrying his brothers. No matter how he explains it, it won't have much effect.
So today, Zhu Jinzhang took the opportunity of spring plowing to tell everyone that he was intact.
"Let's go... let's go!"
Today, we chose to farm fifteen miles north of the city. There were a large number of people working there, who happened to be the spectators of Zhu Jinzhang's work.
When Zhu Jinzhang appeared, the people present were shocked.
Those high-ranking officials in the royal palace who usually wear the same short clothes as them today are going to the fields with hoes on their shoulders?
The people's guesses were finally confirmed.
Zhu Jinzhang and the ministers really went down to the fields, raised their hoes and started working.
"Good boy... Mr. Ming, the old man, actually works with us!"
"In order to have more food, even the prince himself went to work in the fields. We... don't dare to be lazy anymore!"
"Now that we are planting food, we will be able to eat white flour after the autumn harvest... we won't have to eat all the roots of wild vegetables every day!"
"Sigh... I've eaten too many wild vegetables these days, and even my poop is green. I'll have to dig some tree roots in the next two days!"
"Although life is hard now, as long as the prince is here, we will have hope..."
"It's a pity that those in the court in the south have bad intentions towards us. They have nothing to eat or drink, and they even want to rob us of our wild vegetables!"
That's right, under Zhu Jinzhang's propaganda, the people under the rule of King Yong over there lived a miserable life where they couldn't even afford wild vegetables.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people in Liaoping, the people in Yuanyang were in dire straits, without enough food and clothing, being squeezed and exploited by the army, and invaded by zombies.
With this idea, they will work harder to protect their homeland and share the same hatred with Zhao Yanxun in the south.
"The people from the southern government couldn't defeat him, so they resorted to tricks and sent people to assassinate the prince..."
"Fortunately, the prince is blessed with good fortune and God bless him. Not only did the assassin fail to succeed, but his head was also checked by the prince's soldiers..."
"So, the prince is the one destined by fate. Let's follow him... and live a good life!"
"Of course..."
"You guys, stop talking nonsense, I didn't see that the prince is working!"
When the people saw Zhu Jinzhang coming, they were all talking about it, and the contents of their conversations were roughly the same.
In a word, Zhu Jinzhang is the most respectable and sacred person in the hearts of the people of Liaoping. They are willing to follow such a wise master to create a better tomorrow.
"It rained continuously in the past two days and killed many monsters. This is something I didn't expect!"
While hoeing the ground, Zhu Jinzhang was talking to Wu Pingxuan, who was also busy with a hoe.
The heavy rain a few days ago came to an end in Yuanyang, but it rained for three days in Liaoping, helping Zhu Jinzhang eliminate many zombies.
"God is helping the prince, you are the one destined by destiny!" Wu Pingxuan flattered him.
"Destiny? If I believed in destiny, I shouldn't rebel against the Jin court..."
Looking up at the people working in the distance, Zhu Jinzhang solemnly said: "The human heart is destiny!"
I heard Wu Pingxuan continue to say: "Now that the people have joined us, they all love and respect Your Highness. Isn't this destiny?"
Zhu Jinzhang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
But in his heart he knew that he had cheated his destiny.
As long as the real situation of Yuanyang is known to the people, almost all those who are willing to follow him will leave him.
Who would want to follow him and eat wild vegetables and tree roots instead of Yuanyang’s white-flour steamed buns?
Food is the most important thing for the people, and it is so simple for people to make choices.
From this point of view, the person whose true destiny belongs to him is Zhao Yanxun... Thinking of this, Zhu Jinzhang suddenly became unhappy.
While Zhu Jinzhang was thinking, Zhang Ziming came over with a hoe.
"Now that Ziming is here, will you also do the farm work of our farmers?"
"Your Majesty, when my parents are here, even though I have to study and prepare for exams, I still have to go to the fields when the farming is busy, so I can do the farm work naturally!"
Zhu Jinzhang glanced at Wu Pingxuan aside: "This is the same person as us!"
Everyone around him laughed, and Zhang Ziming also laughed out loud.
Zhang Ziming "squeezed" over, naturally not to work next to Zhu Jinzhang.
"Your Majesty, after these busy days, it's time for us to prepare our troops for war!"
While working in his hands, Zhu Jinzhang replied: "According to the spies' report, the farming in the south is almost over, and King Yong will definitely not be able to help but take action!"
"What are your plans to deal with Prince Yong's Mansion?"
Zhang Ziming had already prepared a draft of this and replied: "In my opinion, we should use our strengths to attack the other's weaknesses!"
"Tell me in detail!"
"The army of Prince Yong's Mansion lacks horses, but we have more horses here, so I should take the initiative to attack and kill the soldiers and civilians of Prince Yong's Mansion!"
Stopping what he was doing, Zhang Ziming continued: "We come and go like the wind. Even if they discover us, they can't catch up with our army!"
"Repeated harassment, attacks in various places, destroying their garrison stations in various places, turning Prince Yong's Mansion into a deaf and blind man, with only a sound of courage but no use... In this way, we can gradually restore our disadvantage!"
Zhu Jinzhang also had to admire Zhang Ziming who was brave enough to come up with a proactive strategy.
This strategy took advantage of their cavalry and had certain feasibility, which made Zhu Jinzhang very tempted.
"The method is a good one, but this matter needs to be discussed in detail after we go back. Taking the initiative is not an easy thing!"
If the army attacks, if it wants to achieve what Zhang Ziming said, it must go deep into the hinterland of Yuanyang. This will face the problems of unfamiliar roads and inconvenient supplies.
There is also a question of who will lead the troops. We cannot be like Zhu Xiaoyong last year, who led hundreds of people south, only to deliver food to people.
"Prince Mingjian!" Zhang Ziming nodded, and then picked up the hoe again.
