Start a Ming Dynasty plane

After sending Xingzi to Yuxian Tower, Li Dingguo and Wang Jiadong were liberated, and after saying hello to the handlebar style pot master, the two went straight into the most prosperous street in Lantian-Lantian Pedestrian Street.

The two walked along the pedestrian street, and their eyes were really not enough. They had seen the bustling city, such as Xiangyang City in Hubei, which was very prosperous, but compared with Lantian, Xiangyang City in Hubei was nothing more than that.

I saw on the pedestrian street, men and women, one by one doing business and selling, there is no more to enumerate. At the same time, Li Dingguo and the other two were also attracted by the street snacks, such as Shaanxi meat sandwiches, candied haws, and a bunch of signatures. The mutton that rises up, they call it kebabs.

Oh my God, it's really delicious, but the price is a bit expensive, the mutton skewers cost five yuan a skewer, you know a good mutton sandwich is only ten yuan.

Isn't this money grabbing?
Wang Jiadong clutched his money pockets very stingily, you must know that it is not easy for him to make some money.

Li Dingguo was very happy, squandering the money he earned recklessly, with a meat bun on the left and ten skewers of mutton skewers on the right, and what he ate was bold. Seeing Li Dingguo like this, Wang Jiadong asked, "What are you doing?" If you’re not ready, you’ve spent all the money?”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo laughed loudly, then took a bite of Rougamo and said in a low voice: "We are all here, if we don't spend the money, when the assassination fails and we are arrested, the money will be for nothing." It’s cheaper for the jailer in Lantian.”

"The assassination failed?"

Wang Jiadong was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo said at this moment: "You can't feel it. We may have exposed our stuff as soon as we entered this Lantian County. Look at the mutton skewer on our left, and the one on the right. The guy who plays with women's beads, and the guy in front who looks like he is shopping, but keeps his eyes on us all the time, these are obviously spies from Lantian."

As Li Dingguo said, Wang Jiadong's eyes also looked over, followed Li Dingguo and said: "Don't look around, look, there are guards densely packed upstairs, there are important people inside, you say Li Will Chaosheng be in there?"

After hearing Li Dingguo's words, Wang Jiadong saw a heavily guarded teahouse that looked like an ordinary teahouse. At this time, Li Chaosheng poured himself a cup of tea in the teahouse. Guzi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Master, don't you Did you say you want to see Li Dingguo? Why did you reveal all our guards instead? Li Dingguo saw that there are so many guards here, why is he still willing to come here and not run away far away?"

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei also said: "Yeah, it's fine for the guards to show up, why do my spies insist on exposing themselves, isn't this trying to scare the snake away?"

Li Chaosheng laughed after hearing what the two said: "Haha, what I want is to startle the snake.

Li Dingguo is a reckless hero. When we didn't find him, he would feel like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to bite us at any time. Now that we have seen through his whereabouts, he will stand out in a very lonely way. , Face me directly, this is what a reckless hero does. If he doesn't even have the courage to face danger, then he is not worthy of my attention.

Li Chaosheng said, looked at Guzi and Shi Xiaolei and said, "Come on, try it, my tea is not bad, buy a catty when you leave."

After hearing Li Chaosheng's words, the owner of the teahouse quickly stood up and said: "The county lord likes to drink, and the small ones are just for you to decorate. What are you talking about buying?"

Li Chaosheng heard the words and said: "The shopkeeper, one yard is worth one yard. After drinking your tea, you have to pay. Otherwise, what is the difference between my county venerable and Daming's county venerable? They are all a bunch of dogs who rely on people's power."

"This, yes yes."

The shopkeeper of the tea shop said that Li Chaosheng gave Guzi a wink, and Guzi immediately took out two silver dollars from his pocket and came to the shopkeeper and said, "You go and pack the tea, by the way, don't come out after you're done. The things here, you..."

"understand."

As the shopkeeper said, he hid behind with silver dollars. At this time, Li Chaosheng was drinking tea and humming a little song, but Guzi and Shi Xiaolei were waiting in full force. Just bring it out.

They murmured in their hearts, if Li Chaomeng was here, let alone one Li Dingguo, even ten Li Dingguos would have been taken down. Li Chaomeng, who is the ceiling of Lantian's force, should not be the ceiling of Ming's force, because so far, no one has found that it would be difficult for Li Chaomeng to reach the limit. people.

If he is there, it is Dinghaishenzhen.

Li Chaosheng took a sip of tea and waited for Li Dingguo to come.

And Li Dingguo was standing next to the mutton skewer stall owner, grabbed another handful of copper coins and said, "Twenty more skewers."

"Hey, good."

Seeing Li Dingguo's boldness, the mutton skewer stall owner immediately responded loudly. Seeing Li Dingguo's appearance, Wang Jiadong said helplessly: Prodigal. "

After speaking, Wang Jiadong took out copper coins and said, "Give me thirty strings."

"Got it."

The mutton kebab stall owner was overjoyed, this time he really met a rich man, thinking of the mutton kebab stall owner bringing out two small horses and said: "Two sit down and eat."

Li Dingguo was not too polite, he sat down and ate a meal, twenty skewers were not enough, so another twenty skewers came, the owner of the mutton stall saw Li Dingguo's arrogance, so he took out the rice wine he brewed and said: "Why don't you drink more, add ice in it, Very refreshing."

Seeing this, Wang Jiadong stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Li Dingguo waved his hand and said, "I have something important to do in a while, so don't drink alcohol."

Wang Jiadong took his hand back resentfully, and the stall owner saw that Li Dingguo didn't drink rice wine, so he called the children beside him: "Go to the drink shop next door, and ask for two cups of kumquat drinks."

After talking about the stall owner giving the child a penny for running errands, the child quickly ran to the drink shop next door, and soon brought back two cups of kumquat drink.

"You two, you are a big customer of the stall, I will give these two drinks to you."

Li Dingguo looked at the thing in a bamboo tube and was puzzled: "What is this?"

The boss smiled and said: "This is our unique drink in Lantian. It is very delicious. It is said that the recipe was passed down from the court of the Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo took the bamboo tube curiously, and saw that there was a reed tube on the bamboo tube, which was hollow.

Li Dingguo didn't know why he would use it by accident. He took it and sucked it, and the sweetness of a kumquat exploded in his taste buds.

"Well, it's delicious."

Li Dingguo praised sincerely, Wang Jiadong sighed and said: "You are really not prepared, that's all, boss, you are bringing us a hundred skewers."

Hearing this, the boss was shocked, one hundred strings, that’s five hundred cash, so much money, he hasn’t seen it for a long time since he set up a stall, after all, although people in this era say they have some spare money, they don’t put mutton Skewers are the staple food, most of them are full of food at home, go out to buy three or five skewers, taste the meat, and have a tooth-making festival. When have you seen such a scene? "

The boss thought about it and said: "Guest officer, my meat is of good quality, you?"

At this time, Wang Jiadong said boldly: "Just come up, this little meat is nothing."

It's really not a big deal. When they were marching and fighting, it was easy for one person to eat a leg of lamb, let alone this meat skewer.

Li Dingguo laughed and said, "This is like my good brother."

Speaking of Li Dingguo, he ate mutton skewers and drank kumquat drinks. After he was completely full, the two of them spent a thousand Wen just for the meat skewers, which was a full silver coin.

The boss happily took the money, Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo and said, "You'd better find us a place to eat, otherwise we'll have to sleep on the street."

After hearing this, Li Dingguo laughed and said: "I don't know how the food in Lantian Prison is, let's go, it's time for us to meet this Lantian County Honorable."

Thinking of the two getting up, picking up the baggage they carried with them, which contained a dagger, at this moment, the two walked directly to the teahouse, and when they arrived in front of the teahouse, the guard standing in front of the teahouse said: "Stop."

Li Dingguo looked at the two guards and said: "Please make way, I want to see your master."

After hearing this, the guard looked at Li Dingguo's baggage and said, "People can go in, but the baggage stays."

Li Dingguo laughed and said, "Your master is really careful."

Thinking that Li Dingguo was a bachelor and threw his burden to the guard. The guard took the burden and touched the knife inside, but the guard didn't say anything, just put the burden aside, and followed without saying a word. Get out of the way.

Li Dingguo looked back at Wang Jiadong and said, "Jiadong, why don't I go by myself."

"piss off."

How could Wang Jiadong not understand Li Dingguo's meaning after hearing this, and replied directly: "Get out of here."

Followed by a step up the steps, pushed open the door of the teahouse.

At this time, the sun shone into the room, and the two saw one person sitting in the sun, holding a cup of tea in his hand, staring at the tea bowl, as if there was something extraordinary in the tea bowl.

Looking behind Li Chaosheng, Gu Zi and Shi Xiaolei were waiting in battle, with serious expressions, especially Shi Xiaolei with his hands in front of his chest, he couldn't tell the evil spirit, especially the fierce aura emanating from his body, Li Dingguo was sure at a glance that this was a formidable opponent.

There were more than a dozen guards behind the two of them, and some even held the latest muskets produced by Lantian in their hands.

"Hey, close the door a little bit, it's a bit dazzling."

Li Chaosheng drank the tea, covered his eyes with his hand and said, after hearing this, Li Dingguo blocked Wang Jiadong behind him, and stepped into the room. At this time, Wang Jiadong looked at Li Chaosheng with a complicated expression, and followed him into the room , shut the door smoothly.

For a while the room became calm again, Li Dingguo stood there looking at Li Chaosheng and said, "Are you Li Chaosheng from Lantian?"

Li Chaosheng poured a cup of tea, and filled the teacups at the other two places on the table with water: "Sit."

Li Chaosheng didn't answer, but if he didn't answer, he was acquiescing. Li Dingguo looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "You are still unexpectedly young?"

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Li Dingguo and said, "You are young, you can lead a soldier and horse alone when you are less than 20 years old, and you are invincible and powerful."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo came to the tea table, looked at his seat and sat down and said, "Then you Lan Tian also beat me to pieces?"

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "This is different. The army in Lantian is the army of the people in Lantian. Zhang Xianzhong's army is just Zhang Xianzhong's army alone. With the power of one person, he wants to shake my army of millions of people in Lantian. , it’s difficult.”

After hearing this, Li Dingguo said silently: "When did you know that I entered Lantian?"

"Outside Tongguan, or when you beat up the head of the village in Mianchi County, Henan Province and asked him to give you a fake pass, you were already in the eyes of our secret agents in Lantian."

Li Dingguo frowned when he heard this, and said, "It's so early, then everything I saw when I entered Lantian was what you wanted me to see?"

Li Chaosheng shook his head and said: "I didn't arrange your itinerary in Lantian, I just sent someone to watch you to see where you were. After all, it is not a serious thing for a dangerous guy like you to come to our Lantian. It’s something people can rest assured about.”

Li Dingguo heard the words and said: "Then you really took great pains for me."

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "Your potential deserves to be taken seriously by me, but it's a pity that you have fallen in love with Zhang Xianzhong, so you can't show your talents. I feel sorry for you."

Li Dingguo frowned when he heard this, and said, "You say my adoptive father is a coward, what are you? Savior, god?"

Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "I'm not a god, nor a savior. I'm just an ordinary person who wants to lead the people of Lantian to live a good life."

"A good life, do you mean that the people outside are living a good life?"

Li Dingguo pointed to the people outside, and Li Chaosheng said: "Compared to other places in Ming Dynasty, isn't this a good day?"

Li Dingguo said with a chuckle: "Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng, don't think that I will agree with you if you let me see some harvest scenes. Although the people outside are living a good life now, it is only temporary. You Lantian is encouraging Nong Sang, but it doesn’t restrict merchants and landlords, the merchants walking all over the street are blood-sucking devils.”

"They are willing to give life to the people now. That's because the world is still in chaos, and we, the rogues you talk about, are making trouble. They are afraid that we will come and harm them, so they are willing to give life to the people. Without us, this The world is stable, they will definitely oppress the people, and when the time comes, the people will still have no food, and the gentry will still be a gentry, but the emperor has changed to you."

Li Dingguo glared at Li Chaosheng and said: "The landlords and rich people are black-hearted, and the government is also dark. Only we can build a beautiful world. In that world, the people don't pay taxes, and everyone gets along equally. There are no businessmen who speculate, and no government bullies. , and you can’t build such a world, so why do you tell me arrogantly, you Lantian people are living a good life.”

Li Dingguo yelled at Li Chaosheng, but Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this. This guy was brainwashed by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's slogan of equalizing land tax and not paying food. In other words, Li Dingguo is an idealist That's why he thinks that the prosperity of Lantian is unreal. Only his ideal world where everyone is equal, everyone farms their own land, no business, and no relationship between superiors and subordinates is the real ideal world.

Maybe this is Daming's utopia.

As for such a person, Li Chaosheng felt that it was necessary to teach him a lesson.
