"Put away your guns. Your Majesty said that the people of Ming Dynasty are all your Majesty's subjects.

The guns of our Royal Army can never be aimed at the people who support His Majesty."

The other military households looked at the silver ingots in the hands of the elders, and then thought of the squad leader's actions just now. They relaxed their flintlock guns, clicked the safety, and laughed out loud.

"Squad leader, you're not afraid of pickets like this, are you?"

"Continue the search."

This conversation suddenly transformed a group of shivering people from fear of life and death into a warm feeling.

When the soldiers shouted this slogan, everyone from the emperor to the army gave people a feeling of extreme justice.

"Old man, don't be afraid. We are not asking for your money. We are searching you because His Majesty has an order. If there are people watching, you must not stop them.

I'm afraid that there are bad people among you who may assassinate His Majesty, but I hope you can understand. As for the money, we are His Majesty's soldiers and can only accept Your Majesty's silver. By giving me the money, aren't you harming us?"

"I'm so arrogant. I'm sorry, Master. I'll ask them to cooperate. Don't worry, we didn't bring any iron or bronze utensils today.

It’s just those women over there…”

After listening to Junhu's explanation, the patriarch, who had been resentful just now, put down his fear, and like a fan who had been tortured, his feelings towards Chongzhen became purer.

"Your Majesty, as the emperor, must not have contact with the female family members at will. This is against etiquette.

We won't search them, they have to know the etiquette themselves."

"Yes, yes, I will tell them to go home quickly."

The patriarch replied, imitating the people who were searching over there, he raised his hands to let the squad leader search, and then shouted to the women who were at a loss to go back.

One kilometer away, Chongzhen was in the Warrior car in the middle of the motorcade, looking out the window through the front seat.

"Your Majesty, there are still ten kilometers to go before we reach Lulong. Should we rest in Lulong for a while, or should we rest in Shanhaiguan?"

"Let's go directly to Shanhaiguan. Royal Merchant's publicity is not efficient. People in Fengrun have received news of tax exemptions all day long. No one is cheering for me along the way."

"Your Majesty, after all, the Royal Company is not equipped with motorcycles. We still have too few people who know how to do this."

Wang Chengen, who was in the passenger seat, tilted his head and said to Chongzhen, if a modern person were to sit in the back seat, he would find that the entire atmosphere in this car is almost the same as that of modern times.

Next to Chongzhen is a modified car-mounted mini-refrigerator, where you can drink ice-cold drinks at any time. There is also a computer in the back seat, so you can play large-scale stand-alone games.

The Royal Army in front was dressed in German uniform, and the flintlock was a short rifle in a holster.

Wang Chengen was holding a tablet in his hand, looking at a map for a while, and then taking out his mobile phone to write a handwritten memo, as if he were in the technological age.

When Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen's words, he also knew that he was anxious, but he thought that Lulong in front of him was the headquarters of the Royal Merchant Company. How could the people around him have received the news?

"Call Your Majesty! Call Your Majesty! This is the 3rd and 4th squadron of the road construction team. Our troops are in Hejia Village, eight kilometers outside Lulong County. We encountered civilian organizations crossing the road to thank Your Majesty and ask for your signal. Over."

"I will get off the car and meet the people. Be careful to maintain order and not scare the people. Over."

After pressing the intercom, Chongzhen immediately excitedly sent a message to Chen Ye.

"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper! I'm going to put on a show soon, and I need you to take charge."

After finishing his sentence, less than two minutes later, Wang Chengen felt a gust of wind blowing behind him. He looked back and saw that Chen Ye, holding a glass of iced fruit tea, had already appeared in the back seat.

"I met the owner."

"Well, how are you, Mr. Wang?

Lao Zhu, who are the people in front of you who you said were putting on a show?"

Chen Ye looked at the welcoming people gradually appearing in the distance and said to Chongzhen.

"That's right, it's them. According to the news reported by Royal Merchant, the Lulong County Magistrate has organized people to wait for me in the county seat.

Therefore, these common people along the official road should have come spontaneously under the organization of the mobile newspaper sellers of the Royal Merchant Company."

"Spontaneous? That's really good. Just so you can take more photos with them, and there will be another promotional newspaper next time.

By the way, let's get close to the old farmers and see how the real people at the bottom of Ming Dynasty are doing."

Chen Ye looked at the figure getting closer and closer and understood why Chongzhen was so excited.

Chongzhen was not at all interested in the welcome organized by the Lulong County magistrate. He had seen those in the capital, and most of them were acting.

But this kind of welcome ceremony spontaneously organized by the people in the fields and villages was the most exciting thing for Chongzhen. This can be called sincere and sincere.

"Whenever the people give you something, you just keep it selectively.

If the people give you food, you should eat it deliciously in front of everyone.

Remember to prepare some change. Don't use military coupons. The people may not necessarily approve it. You can also use half military coupons and half copper coins and let the people choose.

The last thing is to get close to the older ones, chat with them about daily life, and go sit in their homes.

If you have children, you should hug them in front of all the villagers, give them a candy, and give them a few small coins to celebrate the new year."

"I understand, Xiao Li, prepare to slow down and stop at the road ahead.

Wang Banban, notify the Royal Army to tidy up their appearance, notify the pioneers at the front to prepare to return to the alert, and inform Jiang Dejing and Zhang Sizhi to prepare to get off the train."

When Chongzhen heard Chen Ye's words, he nodded seriously. He began to recall the actions of those leaders in the video he had watched before, and nodded secretly.

A few hundred meters away from the convoy, the clan elder leading the villagers to wait was standing next to the squad leader, who could no longer bear it and shrank back.

"Master, is this your majesty's train convoy? Do we need to kneel down to greet it?"

"You don't have to kneel, just bow and salute."

As the motorcade gradually approached, the people present began to breathe rapidly.

Until the first car stopped in front of everyone, and then from the truck behind, Royal Army soldiers jumped out, carrying guns and quickly standing side by side on guard.

After everyone was ready, Wang Chengen opened the door and let Chongzhen, who was wearing a dragon robe, get out of the SUV.

"Your Majesty! It's really your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you love your people like your own children!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have met Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

As soon as they stood up, the group of people facing Chongzhen quickly confirmed it through the dragon robe on Chongzhen and the image that had appeared in the newspaper.

Then a burst of cheers came, and across the rows of guarded military households, people shouted to Chongzhen.

After Chongzhen asked the guards to separate, he walked through the cordon and came to the clan elder who was standing with the squad leader.

Jiang Dejing and Zhang Sizhi, who were following behind, suddenly saw Chen Ye who rolled down the window and was taking pictures with his mobile phone. They felt like they had seen a ghost and quickly changed their target.

After Chongzhen walked up to the clan elder, he greeted the clan elder at a distance of one person.

"This old man, how expensive is Geng this year?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the common people are turning sixty this year, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty will live forever!"

The excited clan elder looked at Chongzhen and was so excited that he couldn't speak. He had calculated a lot, but he didn't expect that Chongzhen would actually talk to him.

"Don't be nervous. You are all my subjects. I just heard from the military household that you all came here to welcome me because you knew that I was passing by.

I am very happy. You have me in your hearts and think that I am a wise king. You welcome me like this, which is the best affirmation for me."

Chongzhen and the clan elders walked towards other people, and everyone asked a few indifferent words in a friendly and friendly manner.

As Chongzhen became undefended and approached, the people gradually became bolder and dared to look at Chongzhen.

"Old man, I heard that your village is right in front of you. Don't you invite me to visit your village?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, you want to come to our village? That is really a blessing cultivated by our ancestors in Hejia Village.

It's just that I might have soiled His Majesty's dragon robe in the countryside. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"No problem, I'm going to see how my people are eating and living in the fields in the countryside. Are their children growing up healthily? Please lead the way."

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, come with me."

After hearing Chongzhen's instructions, the clan elders could only ask the people in the village to prepare quickly and head to the village together.

After walking two miles with the old man, Chongzhen saw what Hejia Village looked like.

This is a simple northern rural area, with thatch and mud, and complete mud and stone walls?

The village is scattered all over the place. At this moment, everyone in the village knows that Chongzhen has come and is watching from a distance, not daring to act rashly.

After Chongzhen entered the village, he went from house to house and asked about the living conditions of the people, which made Chongzhen a little worried.

This was the first time he saw how miserable the people lived during this period of the Ming Dynasty.

As common people in Beizhili, and being near a military town, the people in Lulong were definitely unable to revolt, so they had no choice but to be squeezed by the bureaucrats.

Not to mention buying things to improve their lives, the meals they eat are only one meal for them to be full and one meal for them to be hungry.

"Oh, seeing you living like this, I feel guilty. If I had defeated Jiannu earlier, how could everyone be living like this?

As your father, I am ashamed of myself. I came to see you but it was too late."

After saying this, Chongzhen looked at a child and thought of what Chen Ye had just said, so he walked up to the child.
