It’s really a good rain, we’ve only just returned the rice to the barn, and it’s raining in the heavens.”
After the rice was harvested, it began to drizzle, and the people who had already returned to their barns couldn’t help but be thankful.
The autumn harvest was most afraid of rain, once it rained, the rice in the ground would not be harvested in time, it would be spoiled in the ground, leading to a reduction in production, and if the drying rice was drenched in rain, it would easily become mouldy and rot, which would be even more unlucky.
That’s why people are glad it rains only after the autumn harvest.
“Although this year’s rice yield is lower than previous years, but our county magistrate applied to the imperial court for us to reduce taxes, the villages that were scourged by the Japanese were exempted from taxes, and the villages that were not scourged by the Japanese were also reduced by 30%. This year, our people can finally have a good year.”
“Yes, God is good, and so is the magistrate. We’ve finally had a good year. It’s a pity that the magistrate will be promoted soon. I wonder if the next magistrate will be as good as ours.”
“Don’t think about it, I don’t think we’ll ever meet another governor as good as our Prefect. If the next governor can be as good as ours, he’ll have the courage to do what we’re doing! If only the next governor could be 30% as good as our Grand Master, I would wake up from my dreams with a smile on my face.”
After the agricultural work, it was raining again, so people sat at home and chatted about their feelings.
Zhu Pingan was allowed to go home to participate in the autumn harvest of the prisoners, in the autumn harvest is over, also returned to the prison as promised, not one less. The county governor loved the people like a son, and released all the prisoners for the autumn harvest; all the prisoners knew the kindness and returned to the prison as promised. This story has become an annual story, a piece of strange news, quickly spread from Jingnan to the outside.
Zhu Pingan is no longer a nobody, with the spread of the news, in the people’s reputation.
Light rain pattered, although it did not rain much, but it continued to rain for two days and two nights, and there was no intention of stopping.
People are welcome to this continuous drizzle. Autumn is also harvested, the warehouse is also returned, willing to go down, just can take the opportunity to cat at home for a few days, a good rest and relaxation.
People are at home cat, conflicts and disputes greatly reduced, basically no one to the county court litigation; coupled with the rain can not go out of business, the planned repair of the city wall, the construction of the beacon and so on can only be postponed up, the county government office for a time idle a lot.
“Soldiers of the expensive selection, still carry on, and the time is different, the selection is difficult to constrain a. If the grass is not the beginning of the recruitment of the first, the recruitment of the first, the recruitment of the first. If the beginning of the grass and obscurity, recruiting the situation, such as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States with the military for a long time, it is the same method of selection. Fang today under the peace, the compilation of the people to forget the war, the car book mixed together, the change of the pawn ……”
Zhu Pingan had a lot of free time, began to search his memory, writing down and restoring the “New Book of Discipline and Effect” and “Practising Military Practices” that he had read in modern times, and while writing down and restoring them, he was also trying to study and understand the essence of them.
The New Book of Discipline and the Practical Records of Soldier Training are both summaries of the military experience of Qi Jiguang, a famous general who fought against the Japanese, and could not be more applicable to today’s Ming Dynasty. This is the advantage of Zhu Pingan’s hundreds of years of experience, now Qi Jiguang is still in the Dengzhou Wei Command Commander Commander, and will have to settle down for decades before he can summarise these two military masterpieces, while Zhu Pingan can already draw on the nutrients of these two military masterpieces in advance.
Zhu Pingan this time the reason why attentive to the “new book of discipline”, “military training” this kind of military books, one is because of the Japanese in Jiangnan such as hanging over the head of the sword of Damocles, and the future will soon be a full-scale outbreak of the more and more intense; two is because of Zhu Pingan was appointed to mention the criminal investigation division of the Commander of the Department of the Ming Dynasty and the previous dynasty, the abolition of the regiment of the ambassador, and changed to the press commissioner, the military preparedness of the road to the regiment of the affairs of the regiment of the training. Zhu Pingan, when he received the promotion document, listened to the official who sent the document said, Zhejiang territory of the sub-patrol road has Hang Yan Road, Ning Shao Road, Jiahu Road, Jin Qu Road and other four sub-patrol road, because of his outstanding achievements in the Jingnan anti-world Warriors, the above intends to allow himself to mention the Criminal Investigation and Prosecution Division Commander as a division of a sub-patrol of regimentation and grain affairs.
A general is incapable of exhaustion of three armies, since I know that he took office as the Commander of the Division of the Tidings Inspection Department, it is likely to be divided into a unified sub-patrol of the regiment training affairs, then you have to quickly enrich their military knowledge, enhance their military command and other qualities. The country’s major events in the rituals and military, military is no small matter, must be 10,000 heart.
In fact, Zhu Ping’an was very hopeful about the regimentation.
Zhu Pingan had previously sworn an oath, vowing to clear all Japanese pirates from the territory of Daming, and to lead the Long Army to flog the Japanese chiefs of the islands. Now that he had a chance to get his hands on the military and realise his vow, Zhu Ping An naturally wanted to be well prepared and firmly grasp this opportunity.
When the Japanese invasion comes, the people will be devastated!
I cannot endure!
The long night was accompanied by the sound of rain. Zhu Pingan had been studying until around the third night, before he put out the light and went to his bedroom to rest.
The light rain had been raining for five days, and it was only when Zhu Pingan listened to Painter muttering during the midday meal that he suddenly realised that this continuous autumn rain had been raining for five whole days, basically not stopping in between.
Zhu Pingan suddenly thought of something, and could not help but put down his chopsticks and quickly walked to the door to inspect the amount of rain in the courtyard.
“Auntie, Auntie, this shrimp pastry won’t taste good if it gets cold, and that shark’s fin soup has to be drunk while it’s still hot to be tasty.”
“Ya, I almost forgot, Auntie, it’s still raining outside, you need to hold an umbrella, it’s easy to get wind-cold if you get wet in the rain. If you’re not feeling well, if Miss knows about it, she’ll definitely scold the maidservant for not taking good care of Auntie.”
Baozi little maid painting child see Zhu Pingan did not eat two bites to put down the chopsticks out of the door, can not help but drumming small mouth, said, hands and feet with bowls, dishes will be covered to reduce the heat emitted, cover half suddenly remembered that outside the rain, the aunt seems to have just gone out without an umbrella, instantly like being stepped on the tail of the cat as a cat, all of a sudden jumped up, in a hurry and panicked umbrella went out to catch up with it.
As soon as you go out, you will see the aunt in the yard a moment to look up at the sky, a moment to look down at the yard of the water Wang, like a dumb goose. Baozi little maid painting child’s cheeks suddenly more bulging. The sky is raining a little rain and not a chicken leg, can have my cooking delicious ah, the courtyard of the water wang what to see, but also can have ……There are ……I’ve cleaned up before I left home. I put on powder, dyed my eyebrows, and put on lipstick. ……But Master didn’t even take a good look at me. ……
Miss even asked me to warm the bed and feed him.But the bed is so hot, and Master hasn’t even come to visit.
Baozi little maid painting the more she thought the more her little face bulged, but it did not affect her little legs running fast, tiptoeing on her little feet will be the red oil paper umbrella lifted high, propped up to the head of Zhu Pingan, almost the whole umbrella to the head of Zhu Pingan, their own outside in the rain.
“The situation is not right.”Zhu Pingan frowned, as if saying to Painter, and as if talking to himself.
“Of course it’s not right, the maidservant has a bed warmer every day, and Auntie doesn’t even come ……”The bun little maid, Painter, reflexively blurted it out, and only when she said it, she realised it was wrong, and her little face was shy.
Oops, shy people, how to put the heart of the words are out ……However, the lady just explained it ……
The bun little maid painting child’s ears are red at the root of her ears in shame.
“What ah, I am saying that this rain is not right ……”
Zhu Pingan casually flicked the painting child’s brain, took the umbrella in the painting child’s hand, righted it, and covered both of them under the umbrella.
This simple silly girl is too deeply poisoned by feudal thinking.
“Auntie, it hurts …….”
Painter covered her head and saw her aunt holding the umbrella over her head, her eyes got lost and her voice was like a cat’s.
