Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 104 Jiang Jinzhong Gets a Gold Medal to Avoid Death!
Near noon.

Mao Xiang hurried back to the imperial city.

On the way into the palace, he happened to meet Xu Da who was out of the palace on something.

"Wei Guogong!" Mao Xiang saluted immediately when they met head-on.

Xu Da was neither close nor alienated, and kept a certain distance to return the gift. Mao Xiang was the royal guard, the eyes and ears of the emperor. As a courtier, even if he was His Majesty's old brother, he had to keep a certain distance from a special colleague like Mao Xiang.

If you can't figure it out, you're not only making trouble for yourself.

Still add trouble to the emperor.

"Does Wei Guogong have time to say a few words?" Just as Xu Da was about to leave, Mao Xiang asked with a smile.

Xu Da frowned slightly and looked around.

No one was there.

"I don't know what Lord Mao wants to say?" Xu Da asked cautiously.

Mao Xiang understood Xu Da's concerns.

As a courtier, if everyone is like Xu Da, the emperor will be much more at ease.

Congratulations with a smile: "Your official has just returned from Jiangning County, and I ran into Zhu Silang and his wife in the county. Hearing good news, Duke Wei will definitely be very happy after hearing it."

Regarding his daughter and son-in-law, Xu Da felt relieved immediately, and he was no longer restrained. With a smile on his face, he asked, "How are they doing? What are they going to do in the county?"

"Zhu Silang and his wife are very good. Congratulations to Wei Guogong for becoming a grandfather!"

After saying that, Mao Xiang smiled and cupped his fists, and walked away quickly without stopping.

Xu Da froze in place.

After a while, the lips were pursed into a straight line, and then the corners of the lips slowly approached the roots of the temples and ears...

Haha ...

Immediately afterwards, a proud and arrogant laugh suddenly sounded, "We are going to be grandpa! Haha..."

In the front, Mao Xiang couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the laughter behind him.

For some reason, he just wanted to share the news.

'Do you want to tell the emperor? '

Mao Xiang thought about it, and quickened his pace a little.

……

Royal study.

"Chen Maoxiang, pay homage to the emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the booklet, looked at Mao Xiang, and said, "Get up."

After thanking you, Mao Xiang got up, and without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to ask, he took the initiative to report: "My lord, Jiangning County's tax package auction was very successful..."

……

"When Chen left, although the auction had just started, there would be no problem."

"From the very beginning, Jiang Jinzhong used a tough attitude to drive away the big and respectable gentry in Jiangning County. The remaining small landlords and squires don't need to offend anyone. They can make money, so they don't have any worries."

"Based on the observation of the auction, it can be judged that this year's Jiangning's tax collection amount is likely to be no higher than five buckets and five dendrobiums."

"The lowest can only be as low as five buckets and two dendrobiums, it cannot be lowered."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was already full of smiles, and when he heard this, he nodded again and again, "It's already very good, we have been farmers, even if calculated according to five buckets and five dendrobiums, farmers get five dendrobiums per mu, which seems little, But twenty acres of land is worth one stone, which is quite impressive!"

"A stone of grain is worth more than a stone to a farmer. At critical times, it is the life of the family!"

At the beginning, if his family had a stone of grain.

Parents and brothers may not starve to death.

At least, a few more people can survive.

The pain and sadness in the eyes flashed away, got up, paced...

Mao Xiang watched secretly, wondering what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

At a certain moment, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, "From this point of view, there is still room for enforcement at the local level in the bidding and tax package."

"However, local officials need to be supported."

"The big squires are invited to participate, but the big squires must be forced to leave in front of the small landlords and squires."

"Perhaps, there are other ways to deal with it. In short, if you want to accomplish this, the first condition is to allow small landlords and squires to take advantage of it with peace of mind."

"If you want the small landlords and squires to directly offend the big squires, you can't do this."

Mao Xiang nodded hurriedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ponder.

Whenever benefits are redistributed, the beginning is the most difficult.

No matter how small the interests are, the original vested interests will not let go easily.

In the policy bias, if the party that allows profit is weaker than the original vested party, it will not dare to rush directly to bite and divide this piece of meat.

Just like the little landlords and squires this time.

In the past, these people were not eligible to participate in the tax package at all.

Now that the opportunity is in front of them, they don't dare. Someone needs to stand at the forefront to help them drive away the big country gentry who have vested interests.

Only then did they dare to rush forward to share this piece of fat.

Of course, although the start is difficult, as long as the game is broken, the follow-up things will be easy.

When small landlords and squires don't get it, it is very difficult for them to charge forward.

But they got it, tasted the sweetness, and let them let go, it would be difficult.

No one wants to spit out the good things that have been eaten in their mouths.

On the contrary, when the big gentry was deprived of their benefits, they felt pain and resistance and fiercely resisted.

But as long as the imperial court shows a strong will to implement, at the same time, the deprivation of benefits is only a corner of the scope of interests of the great gentry, and does not involve core interests.

Once these people are really lost, they will honestly accept their fate.

After the policy lasts for a few years, everyone will get used to it.

Treat this policy as a convention.

"Jin Yiwei keeps an eye on Jiangning County." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly pointed at Mao Xiang, and sternly ordered: "Whether Jiang Jinzhong is worth reusing remains to be seen."

"But during the auction and tax package period, even if he flouts the laws of the country, he can't die! He can't be driven away in despair!"

"He is standing in Jiangning County, which represents our will to auction tax package! It represents the imperial court's will to implement auction tax package!"

"Policy implementation, as long as the situation is broken well, the results can be guaranteed!"

"Your Highness, please, the emperor has solved it for you. Jiang Jinzhong has now taken a time-limited death certificate. Even if he deserves to be killed for committing a crime, he will have to wait for the auction and tax package to come out. '

Mao Xiang secretly laughed at the ventriloquist, and solemnly accepted the order: "I obey the order!"

"Go down and rest."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion."

After thanking you, Mao Xiang stepped back out of the imperial study...

"Commander Mao..."

As the door was closing, there was a sound behind him.

Mao Xiang turned around, saw that it was Zhu Biao, and hurriedly saluted: "The minister Mao Xiang pays homage to the prince."

"There's no need to be formal." Zhu Biao supported Mao Xiang, and asked with a smile, "Is Jiang Ning's tax-inclusive bidding done?"

"It's done..." Mao Xiang picked up the point with a smile, and after speaking concisely, he looked around and said in a low voice: "I still met Yan Wang and his wife in Jiangning."

"Fourth brother?!" Zhu Biao's eyes showed surprise, he beckoned, and took Mao Xiang away from the imperial study room. In a secluded place, he asked with a smile, "How is fourth brother and Miao Yun? Are you all right?"

"Okay." Mao Xiang smiled and said, "Concubine Yan is pregnant. King Yan took her to the county town to see a doctor. Jiang Jinzhong knew about it, so he invited King Yan..."

"Miaoyun is pregnant?" Zhu Biao was even more surprised, "Does the emperor know the news?"

Mao Xiang smiled wryly, "Your Highness, I dare not tell the emperor that the emperor sent his ministers to Jiangning to watch the auction and pay taxes, and they all went quietly. If the emperor knew, the minister was seen by King Yan..."

Zhu Biao smiled immediately.

The father sent Mao Xiang to observe and study secretly, and was caught by the fourth child...

If Royal Father knew about this, he would definitely feel very humiliated.

He smiled and patted Mao Xiang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, my mother and I will help you cover up this matter, even if the father knows that you are hiding it, the board will not fall on you."

While Mao Xiang heaved a sigh of relief, he smiled.

"By the way, the King of Yan has something to say, let me convey it to the prince..." Mao Xiang remembered what Zhu Di said before leaving.

It was also on the way back that he figured out that the 'blood and corpses' mentioned by King Yan were meant for the crown prince.

Zhu Biao's face was serious when he listened, and after listening, he smiled and said: "I know, Commander Mao still believes that the fourth child really wants to compete with me for the heirloom?"

Mao Xiang laughed, of course he didn't believe it.

But he can't get involved in this kind of thing, let alone express any attitude towards it.

He is just the emperor's eagle dog!

Zhu Biao didn't even want to get any answer from Mao Xiang's mouth. Such a question was just a random question touched in his heart, and he smiled: "Okay, Commander Mao has worked hard all the way to rest. Si and Miaoyun have a child and tell the queen mother."

After speaking, Zhu Biao rushed to the harem with a smile.

soon.

Because of Mao Xiang's sharing, the Xu family, Zhu Biao, and Ma Xiuying all knew that Xu Miaoyun was pregnant.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang was kept in the dark.

afternoon.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Ma Xiuying's bedroom for a rest and relaxation time.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing Ma Xiuying taking out a lot of fabrics to choose from, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise, "You want to make clothes for us yourself?"

"Don't bother so much, just leave it to the Shangyi supervisor in the palace."

"We know that you treat us well and care about us, but don't do this kind of thing yourself."

"If you don't get angry with us, you are treating us well."

……

The little maid stood beside her, lowering her head and trying to suppress her smile: Your Majesty, you are overthinking, this is to prepare for the unborn child of His Highness King Yan.

Ma Xiuying suppressed a smile, stopped what she was doing, raised her head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, the corners of her lips twitched, "Then I won't do it for you, I will do it for grandchildren like Xiongying."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked Ma Xiuying up and down, and said suspiciously: "How do we feel, you are all very happy today. At noon, Xu Da stood up and laughed from time to time. After the court, he talked with Biao'er in the imperial study, and Biao'er couldn't stop laughing." stop."

"What's the matter, we are happy, but you look uncomfortable?" Ma Xiuying suddenly asked angrily.

"Zhu Chongba, I won't tell you! '

……

Zhu Di didn't know that Xu Miaoyun's pregnancy was known to all relatives, but Zhu Yuanzhang was kept secret.

After returning from Jiangning County, life was full and peaceful again.

……

a few days later.

Near noon.

Zhu Di came back from the outside, put down the fresh grass, and while adding grass to Xiao Hei and Rhubarb, he rushed into the house and shouted: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat today?"

…………

"Miao Yun?"

It was quiet in the courtyard, and it was also quiet in the house. There was no response, but the door was open.

When he came back, he passed the school, which was also closed.

Zhu Di became anxious, put down what he was doing, and walked quickly into the house.

Entering the house, I was stunned...
