Chapter Sixty-Two Famous Instruments

Ying Yixu gave him a hand: "Get up quickly. Master Zhou, the rattan clothing workshop is built in the Crescent Valley. You can tell the scholar what is needed. The first batch was not concentrated due to previous considerations, so there is no need to say more. Wait for the first batch After that, when the workshop is completed, you will recruit people, temporarily setting the number at fifty, to specialize in weaving military uniforms for the time being."

Then he said to the scholar: "It's the same as in Bibo Valley. You get paid for your work. For the specific amount, you need to get a charter first."

The scholar was happy but also a little helpless. Because there were too many things to do, he already felt a little overwhelmed. But I made up my mind that I would handle the things Ying Yi told me properly and not let Ying Yi get in trouble.

Everything Ying Yi is doing now is to put military supplies first. Whether it is gun making, rattan clothing, or breeding, all are based on the needs of the military. In terms of civilian use, the only option is to open a store.

Everything has its own sequence, and the military is the most important thing right now, and it is a matter of course.

After handling various matters, Ying Yi and Sun Xiucai came to Zheng Yunzhi's residence. I saw two people outside the cave from a distance. One stood quietly on the side, occasionally showing a smile, watching the other having fun with a tiger cub.

Ying Yi paused, hesitating a little.

"It's Madam Zheng and Young Master Yu." The scholar smiled secretly.

Who else is it if it’s not Zi Niang and Xiao Yu’er?

When Ying Yi saw them before, they were two children. But now, one is his fiancée and the other is his future brother-in-law, the feeling is different. Especially seeing Zi Niang, Ying Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Although the girl who is only fourteen years old is already tall and mature, and is much precocious compared to the times a few hundred years later, she still feels that this is not the case. It always reminds him of not graduating from junior high school.

"Tiger boy..."

Ying Yi couldn't find anything to say.

The scholar hurriedly said: "My lord gave this tiger cub to my subordinates earlier, and they were very busy. Seeing that Madam Zheng and Young Master Yu both like this little thing, they..."

Ying Yi nodded.

At this time, Zi Niang and Xiao Yu'er saw Ying Yi and Sun Xiucai walking towards them. Zi Niang exclaimed, turned around and ran into the cave as if running away. Xiao Yuer ran over with the tiger cub in his arms and grinned: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Ying Yi showed a hint of embarrassment and touched Xiao Yu'er's head: "I'll go see your father and you can play by yourself."

"oh."

Uncle Huai came out of the cave and saw Ying Yi. He smiled and said, "Master is studying inside."

Ying Yi nodded, took a breath, opened the curtain and walked in.

Zheng Yunzhi's study room still looks the same, with a few stone pillars and an old desk. The light from the crack in the hole in the upper left wall is facing the desk. He was sitting with his back to the entrance of the cave, and you could vaguely see the book he was holding.

"Coming? Sit down."

Ying Yi walked over silently and sat down on a stone pier nearby.

Zheng Yunzhi has lost a lot of weight and looks several years older. In fact, Zheng Yunzhi was in her thirties at that time. And Ying Yi is about ten years younger than Zheng Yunzhi.

Now because of Zi Niang's matter, Ying Yi didn't know how to speak.

"I originally disagreed."

Zheng Yunzhi looked at Ying Yi expressionlessly.

Ying Yi nodded clearly.

"Maybe you are right, but you are still a rebellious traitor." Zheng Yunzhi said unceremoniously: "What you are going to do is not the same as a traitor. But it will be more harmful to the Ming Dynasty. The traitor will burn, kill, and loot, and you will not be able to do it." People's hearts, and you..."

At this point, he gritted his teeth: "You are the traitor!"

Ying Yi smiled: "Over the past thousands of years, dynasties have changed, and this is the way it is. The Ming Dynasty is about to end, and as the county magistrate said, rogue thieves are not popular among the people. Rogue thieves are not popular among the people, and the Ming Dynasty is about to end, why can't I replace it?"

"You will be despised by everyone in the world." Zheng Yunzhi said in a dull voice.

"That's not necessarily the case." Ying Yi sneered: "When I gain momentum, many people will follow me."

Even the Tatars can do it, why can't he win?

If we say that at the beginning, Ying Yi was a coward, but now that he has embarked on this path, there is nothing to hesitate. cast aside? joke. The Tatar butcher's knife is swung, and some water is too cold for your scalp to itch, so why don't you just grab a handful?

"With no one to help you and only relying on people like Sun Xiucai, how can you achieve success?" Mr. Zheng County sneered.

Ying Yi chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Isn't there also my father-in-law?"

Zheng Yunzhi's face turned red with anger: "You bastard!"

Ying Yi said sternly: "Although it is said that scholars here are good at making opinions, I agree with her after I know it. Zi Niang is a good girl. If we can get married, it will be a good thing for my father-in-law and me."

Zheng Yunzhi groaned.

Ying Yi said: "My father-in-law should have figured it out these days. There are many people in this world who can see the overall situation. Although I have just started, I am absolutely confident that I will gain power soon. But gaining power is not enough. I also want a name."

He looked at Zheng Yunzhi with stern eyes: "The Ming Dynasty is orthodox and Emperor Chongzhen is still here. I can't rebel like a traitor."

Zheng Yunzhi looked surprised, pointed at Ying Yi and said, "You are indeed not an ordinary person! You can actually see the use of famous weapons!"

Ying Yi smiled and said: "Why can't you see it? The ancients said: Names and utensils cannot be faked. Famous utensils are in the Ming Dynasty. If you want to get famous utensils, you must naturally start from the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that famous utensils are being stolen by thieves? I want to borrow them My father-in-law’s name has become my name. Please fulfill my father-in-law’s name.”

Zheng Yunzhi sighed and said with a strange expression: "When we first met, Uncle Huai said that you were different from ordinary people, and it was true. I know what you mean. I, Zheng Yunzhi, am an official of the Ming Dynasty after all. If I don't recognize you, you will be a traitor. If I recognize you, you can be justified."

"That's right." Ying Yi smiled and said, "My father-in-law is the magistrate of Ye County. If the troops organized by my father-in-law can defeat the bandits against the odds, they will gain the emperor's trust and be promoted to a higher rank. As my subordinate, I The same goes for the commander of soldiers and horses. The bandits have been poisoning the Central Plains for a long time, causing the land to be white for thousands of miles. Others may avoid it like snakes and scorpions, but in my opinion, it is a blank piece of paper, just right for writing."

"You want to get an official title." Zheng Yunzhi nodded slightly, but his mood was completely different at this moment: "Shelter me from the wind and rain, and you hide behind me to accumulate strength."

"That's exactly it." Ying Yihao said without hesitation: "I would like to ask my father-in-law to make it happen."

He added: "I am getting married to Zi Niang, and my father-in-law can no longer be idle. Although the scholar is smart, he cannot be compared with my father-in-law. I also ask my father-in-law to correct him."

Ying Yi and Zheng Yunzhi talked a lot, including arguments and detailed discussions. The final result was that Zheng Yunzhi came out to temporarily help the scholar manage people's livelihood. Scholars are still the main ones, with Zheng Yunzhi as guide and correction.

Ying Yi is still on guard.

Zheng Yunzhi knows everything and understands it very well. Although the marriage was settled, it was not yet consummated. It is also known to everyone that Zheng Yunzhi loves the imperial court. For the time being, scholars will still be the main focus, there is no doubt about this.
