People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

"you you you……"

Old Zhang was almost fainted by Zhang Yi's anger. Although he knew that something happened to Zhang Yi, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't tell him all kinds of manipulations.
Therefore, it was the first time he knew that Meng Yao had become Zhang Yi's daughter-in-law.

Zhang Normal, who couldn't turn the corner for a while, turned blue and white for a while, and immediately said:
"You evil star, are you trying to piss me off?"

Zhang Yi covered his mouth and smiled, not caring about him at all.

Zhang normal said: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, you know what you call it, this is called private life..."

Damn, Lao Zhang thinks being Zhang Yi's father is too tiring.

This guy wants to deprive even his father of his little rights.

Zhang Yi comforted him:
"Father, if you think this way, at least you don't need to worry about my life's major events!

However, this matter is just a joke. At that time, I knew that it might be a problem for Aunt Li and Meng Yao to stay in the Taoist temple!
So I came up with an impromptu title to accommodate their mother and daughter!

But this thing can't be taken seriously, how can I, Zhang Yi, be the one to make things difficult for others? Meng Yao's sister is still young, if she doesn't want to in the future, I won't force her!
but if……

That's actually fine!

It's not like you don't know Aunt Li's character, but you can't trust her daughter!

Besides, if you can't trust others, can you trust your son and me?
This is the daughter-in-law I grew up with! "

Zhang Yi was stern about the safety of Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang was so angry that he was half dead.

To reason with this kid, he definitely can't.

Lao Zhang was unwilling, but it wasn't that he didn't like Meng Yao's child.

If under normal circumstances, Zhang Yi could make a good match, Zhang normally wouldn't react so much.

But he knew in his heart that if the relationship between Zhang Yi and the emperor could be maintained, his future achievements would not stop there.

In other words, he is very likely to be married by the emperor, even if he is married to the prince's children.

If the marriage is settled too early, it will definitely not be a good thing for Zhang Yi's life.

"Father was still thinking, if you can't inherit the position of celestial master, I will arrange a good husband's family for you. Although I, Longhushan, am not in the court, it is also possible to match a prince's child..."

"Don't, who said that the prince's children will be fine?"

Zhang Yi hurriedly interrupted Lao Zhang's fantasy.

There are indeed examples of Zhang family's celestial masters who married the children of princes.

However, most of the women of the Duke's family married to the Celestial Master himself, and he himself knew that he would definitely not be able to inherit the position of the Celestial Master.

That's what it means to marry a famous wife.

Moreover, most of the princes of the Ming Dynasty were born in commoner clothes.

Of course there are well-known women like Xu Miaoyun from the Xu family, and there are also Zhu Xi's side concubines who accompany Zhu Xi in the back clothes and mess around, and are gifted to death by Lao Zhu.

He didn't think that a good match meant a good match.

Generally speaking, Zhang Yi lacks interest in the women who have been taught by Neo Confucianism in this era.

What he prefers to meet is the kind of partner with an interesting soul.

However, how could he have a choice in this era?
Among the girls he met, only the girl from the Xu family was considered suitable for his goal, but she dared not move...

So, it's better to develop it!

It is also good to raise a wife for yourself...

"All in all, Dad, don't pay attention to the fact that you are well-matched, let's just say this, our Ming Dynasty is different from other dynasties, and you will see many commoner queens in the future...

People in the sky don't look at the door, why are we at Longhushan guarding this decadent idea? "

"Really?"

Zhang normal felt that Zhang Yi was fooling himself, Zhang Yi retorted:
"If you don't believe me, why don't you go and see the training for girls in the early years of Emperor Hongwu?"

Zhang Normal hadn't read about it, but after hearing Zhang Yi's words in a precise manner, he followed suit.

He remembered another thing, and suddenly he was no longer angry with Zhang Yi's choice.

"Zhang Yi, you can feel the danger in the court, if one goes wrong, you will end up dead!
At the beginning, you had conflicts with me, so you chose to stay in the capital!

But now witnessing life and death, are you willing to go back to the mountain with me? "

Lao Zhang's question stopped Zhang Yi from asking.

Zhang Normal heartily hoped that Zhang Yi could help him plan the Zhang family's lost celestial master position, but why did he let himself leave the capital?

Immediately, he understood the concern behind Lao Zhang.

My heart warms!
"You can take Meng Yao and Li Shi away too, Longhu Mountain is big enough to accommodate their mother and daughter..."

Zhang Yi lowered his head and did not respond to Lao Zhang's words.

He kept Lao Zhang's concern in mind.

But Zhang Yi has his own ideas...

"Let's talk later!"

He lightly changed the subject, and Zhang Normal probably understood what he was thinking, and sighed.

"It's fine if you don't leave, but you must have the intention of revenge. Although Longhushan has won the emperor's favor, it is still just a people in essence!
As long as you are a citizen, you cannot fight with officials!
Don't think that being friends with the prince can become your reliance!

Not to mention that the second prince can say a few words in the court.

Even if you have a close relationship with the emperor himself, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how much are you worth?
Over the past few hundred years, how many Taoists have won the emperor's favor, much more than our Zhang family!
But among the Daoist families in China, there will always be only the Zhang family...

This is not because of how powerful the Zhang family is, but because the Zhang family knows how to advance and retreat!

You used this principle to teach Pindao, and now Pindao is also telling you this principle..."

In the words of the father and son, no one is mentioned, but they are not separated from him.

Zhang normal said seriously:

"If you don't go back to the mountain, just promise the poor way, and you will never have any thoughts of revenge!"

Knowing son Mo Ruofu, everyone said that Lao Zhang had never been able to get along with Zhang Yi since he was a child, but the devil in his heart was only clear to Zhang Tongtong, who was a celestial master.

Zhang Yi chuckled and nodded silently.

Lao Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shanchang...

Zhang Normal remembered the question he asked Zhu Yuanzhang on the road. The emperor didn't answer, but he had already answered!

What if the emperor returns?
All people have different values ​​in the king's heart.

Zhang Yi has his own value in Zhu Yuanzhang's place, so Zhu Yuanzhang will end his trip to the north ahead of time and come back for him.

But what if you come back?

Zhang normal asked the emperor this question, but he could not answer.

Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang could really vent his anger on Zhang Yi and cut off his left and right arms?

"Actually, everything today is nothing more than my uselessness!

I lost the Celestial Master position passed down by the old Zhang family for many years!

But I had a whimsical idea and put this matter on you!
But I never thought that the risk on the court is far greater than that of Longhu Mountain..."

"Father, don't be too pessimistic!"

Seeing that Lao Zhang blamed himself, Zhang Yi comforted him instead:
"You also know that I have my own opinions since I was a child, what do I do, what does it have to do with you?
You can't even make a decision about whether I marry a wife or who I marry, so don't take yourself too seriously..."

Zhang Yi pierced his heart as always, and Lao Zhang's face twitched a few times.

He is using his own way to comfort his incompetent father.

"Father, don't hurt the spring and the autumn, let's talk about something happy!

Do you remember the Champa rice I planted?

I changed his name to Yaowangdao, and it was sold out!
If my guess is correct, this time the emperor returns to the palace, there must be a chance for me to face the saint...

This time I have a good relationship with the king, I will listen to you and keep a low profile!
But this time, you have to help me. The promotion of Yaowangdao will not be much less meaningful than the vaccination method...

We not only want to win the emperor, but also use our power of Longhushan to spread this rice seed to the world! "

When mentioning Mian Sheng, Lao Zhang had a strange expression.

He also heard about this matter, and under Zhang Yi's tireless efforts, Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to see him.

I don't know what excuse the emperor will find this time to avoid meeting Zhang Yi.

"You'd better not have any expectations of the emperor!"

Lao Zhang couldn't help reminding Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi nodded:

"That's natural. I don't have any illusions about the one in the palace!"

Zhang Yi couldn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament very well, and he would never have any unnecessary fantasies about Lao Zhu.

Old Zhang sighed, knowing that Zhang Yi had misunderstood him, but he couldn't explain too much, so let it go.

On the second day, Zhang Yi got up early.

Zhang Normal also finished his day's homework and walked out from the front of the Taoist temple.

"You rarely get up so early..."

Lao Zhang saw that Zhang Yi had already washed up, and took the warm water from Meng Yao.

"That's right, today is the last day of harvesting Yaowang rice, I have to be optimistic about these seeds..."

Zhang Yi said casually:
"After the reputation of Yaowang Rice spread, many people came to ask for it!

As soon as I left the field, someone said that my tenants had run out of grain! "

He said with a sneer:

"Don't think that I don't know who the buyers are, they are all the officials who followed King Qin... No, the Second Highness went with him!
These old guys cheated me to the death, and now seeing that Yaowangdao is profitable, they are also the fastest rushing..."

When Yaowang rice is harvested, its value will be recognized by the world immediately.

It is not surprising that those officials are seeking seeds.

Zhang Yi believed that in a few days, those businessmen who heard the news would come and join the army begging for rice.

When the time comes, the value of this batch of Yaowang rice will definitely rise.

"These people are too stupid... Fortunately, Pindao stopped them!
The people under me have finally had a chance to make a fortune, but we can't let them get it cheap! "

Zhang normal didn't understand, and asked:
"If there is food, sell it. How can someone else take advantage of it?"

Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"Is that food? Those are rice seeds!
Except me and Uncle Huang have it in the world, but it can't be grabbed anywhere else, so selling it ten times is not too much, right? "

"ten times!"

Lao Zhang stared wide-eyed, this is really a lion's mouth!

In his early days, each of the tenants rented three to five acres of land, and those like Lao Meng who rented ten acres were rare.

The grain harvested by these tenants is about five shi. This year's grain harvest is bumper, and the market price is ten taels of silver.

Don't look at ten taels of silver, for farmers, this year can be a good year.

If it was replaced by other rice varieties, even half of the income would be too much.

But with just a few words from Zhang Yi, they increased their income tenfold.

100 taels of silver...?
The tenants under Zhang Yi probably have never seen so much money in their entire life.

"What are you two happy about?"

Lao Zhang was about to say something when Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from behind.

"Uncle Huang!"

They turned around, and Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao came hand in hand.

Zhang Yi hadn't seen the two for a long time, so he greeted them happily.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked Zhang Yi up and down, and he was relieved to see that he was fine.

"It seems that you didn't suffer, I heard about you when I came back from outside the city!
You boy, it's not easy! "

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Yi didn't intend to say anything more about this matter, but just laughed.

"Uncle has a heart!"

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Zhu Yuanzhang asked:
"What are you two talking about, smiling so happily?"

"Brother Huang!"

Zhang normal came to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

He repeated what Zhang Yi said just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up:
"Hello boy, this is a great job!

According to what you said, I can also send a...

However, I admire you..."

The way Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Yi was quite meaningful.

"Do you know what you would do if you were someone else?"

Zhang Yi was stunned by Lao Zhu's question, what should others do?
What to do?
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he didn't understand, and said:

"If it is another landlord, he knows how to make money, he will pay a price a little higher than the market price, collect the grain from the tenants, and then sell it to others at fifteen times the price!

How can you let your tenants sell it by themselves?

The people below have benefited too much, and they will be disobedient next year! "

Zhang Yi was stunned, and he looked back at Lao Zhang.

He understood Lao Zhang's playful expression just now.

It turns out that the landlords of this era thought so and did the same.

Zhang Yi didn't understand the thinking of the ancients, he just felt that there was nothing wrong with letting his tenants live a good life.

I don't lack that little money.

He doesn't want to control anyone.

"Uncle Huang, do you disagree with my approach?"

Zhang Yi's words made Zhu Yuanzhang deep in thought. He only knew that if it were him, he probably wouldn't let the tenants earn so much?

But can he deny Zhang Yi's approach?

Thinking of his own childhood, he used to be a tenant in the eyes of the landlord, not even a tenant.

Once upon a time, he wished for a landlord like Zhang Yi.

But if those people have Zhang Yi's compassion, his parents may not have to die.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu looked at Zhang Yi seriously.

Suddenly, he said solemnly:
"I can't do what you do, but I admire you...

All over the world, there are many wealthy households who build bridges and pave roads, and there are also many people who give porridge and chant Buddha.

However, you are the only one in the world who is willing to let your tenants earn money!
As long as you have this kind of mind, you can be regarded as the heart of a Bodhisattva! "

Zhang Yi was so embarrassed by Lao Zhu.

"Uncle, come here, let me tell you about the loom first!

Old Mo..."

Zhang Yi yelled, and Lao Mo walked in:
"Please call Li Dan over here!"

He originally wanted to go to the field to catch production, but Lao Zhu came temporarily, and Zhang Yi had to explain the business matters to Lao Zhu.

Although Li Qingmo wasn't doing well, it didn't affect his walking.

Not long after, Li Dan, the head of the tenant, was called to the Taoist temple.

When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, a different light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Master Little Landlord, you are looking for me!"

Li Dan saluted Zhang Yi respectfully. (end of this chapter)
