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

Chapter 154 Zhu Yuanzhang: Don't Come Back Empty!
Royal study.

Mao Xiang smiled and nodded, followed Zhu Biao and walked in.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, Mao Xiang handed over the ensemble with both hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, who had come to join in the fun, and said: "Tell me, the prince, the elder brother, is also very interested. I wish I could leave the position of prince and become a farmer instead!"

What is going on in Biao'er's heart, how can he not know?
Zhu Biao laughed helplessly.

He just said a few good things to the fourth child, as for?

Royal father, you are starting to regret it yourself, and everyone is actively building a stage for you.

Take advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative.

Keep holding it, the one who will lose face at that time will be yourself.

Mao Xiang didn't know what Zhu Biao was thinking, so he nodded with a smile and opened the secret music.

In fact, he could memorize the contents inside.

"My lord, yesterday, the main body of Zhu Silang's new house was completed, only the interior decoration remained, Zhu Silang..."

"Wait!" Mao Xiang just said something, but Zhu Yuanzhang called to stop.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked, "Do you need wood for the roof? Why didn't we hear your report on his purchase of wood?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang suspiciously.

Royal father withholding details, to this extent?

Mao Xiang is obviously used to it, and as the eyes and ears, after collecting and reporting these details, he gradually understands why Zhu Yuanzhang cares about these details so much.

In spring, when King Yan was plowing and plowing.

The emperor cares about these details very much.

Plowing, sowing, transplanting, hoeing...

Every detail of building a house.

These small details reflect that Yan Wang can independently support a family.

As a father, the emperor felt very relieved when he saw these little details.

Perhaps this is a father's concern for his son.

But he dare not say anything about the timber!
"My lord..."

"Say!" Seeing Mao Xiang faltering, Zhu Yuanzhang urged him angrily.

Zhu Biao also watched with great interest.

'Your Highness, you can't blame me. '

At the same time, Mao Xiang was talking ventriloquically, and said bravely: "I only learned that after Zhu Silang started building the house, Zhu Silang went to the mountains of Tuqiao Village to cut wood in his free time between summer and autumn..."

As Zhu Yuanzhang listened, his face gradually turned black.

Snapped!
As soon as Mao Xiang finished speaking, he asked angrily: "We remember that the mountain forest to the east of Tuqiao Village belongs to the imperial court. He is a farmer, not a woodcutter. What right does he have to chop our wood on our mountain?" Tree!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, and at the same time had a strong smile.

The mountain forest in a village, the father remembered that it belonged to the imperial court, and he knew it was in the east.

It is obvious that he is familiar with the surrounding terrain of Tuqiao Village.

There are so many things to do every day, but he can know the topography of a small village by heart.

I'm afraid I paid a lot of attention in private.

Paying attention to every plant and tree in Tuqiao Village is actually caring about the fourth child!

But he was stubborn and refused to admit it.

Hey!
Zhu Biao shook his head subconsciously, which attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's stare.

Immediately, he turned his head and asked Mao Xiang: "Tell me, he is a farmer, not a woodcutter, what qualifications does he have to cut down our trees on our mountain!"

Mao Xiang lowered his head, not because he was afraid, but because he was suppressing a smile, and hurriedly replied: "Zhu Silang said, although he was expelled from the genealogy by the emperor and became a commoner."

"But the emperor said that the monarch is the father of the people."

"Since the emperor is his father-in-law, it is only right and proper for the son to build a house and cut down a few trees for me!"

puff!
No matter how good Zhu Biao's concentration was, he couldn't help laughing when he heard these words.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang staring at him, he held back his smile and bowed his head in a bow, "Father, my son thinks that what the fourth brother said makes sense."

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched, "We can't refute it!" '

Junfu is what he said.

Now that bastard is using his father's theory to squeeze him openly!
At the same time, it also presented him with a huge problem.

He knows farmers too well.

Logging is profitable.

If the common people all follow suit, while shouting the king's father, while shirtless, wielding an ax to cut wood.

It won't be long before he has beautiful scenery, green waters and green mountains, and the Daming River and Mountains will definitely be chopped down by countless farmers!

Just thinking about that scene for a little while makes people shudder.

As a father, I really want to stop the people.

I am afraid that many hearts will be lost.

'Bastard!Damn!You are giving us a big problem! '

After Mao Xiang was sent away.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Biao and went straight to the harem with a dark face.

"Your son has done something good again!" When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ma Xiuying, he threw the secret music to Ma Xiuying with a dark face.

Ma Xiuying was sitting at the table, sewing small clothes with the maid.

Looking up, with a half smile but not a smile...

After dismissing the maid with a wave, he picked up the melody and watched.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down next to him with a dark face, "He cut down our trees on our mountain, and found a set of self-justifying fallacies for himself, saying, we are the father of a king, and the son builds a house, and I cut down a few trees for my father. , it is only right and proper!"

puff!
Ma Xiuying was immediately amused, and she suppressed a smile and said, "That's very reasonable!"

"Unreasonable!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted the table, "If the people all over the world followed suit, with shirtless arms, shouting "Junfu" and wielding an ax at the same time, they would be able to chop down the mountains of Daming!"

"..."

Ma Xiuying put down the melody with a smile, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do when you come to me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed immediately, "You go out of the palace to Tuqiao Village, and talk to that bastard well, he can just do this kind of thing."

"The rural village community in Tuqiao Village is built, and it will soon become rich. It's worth the money to buy wood. Let him not take the lead in doing this kind of thing."

"Don't spread this nonsense."

"The common people sneak up to the mountain to cut some trees and make furniture or something. The court can turn a blind eye to it, but if it develops into a situation where everyone calls out to the king and wields an ax to cut wood and sell it for money, it will be very difficult for us. Let it go. The common people can profit, and they can cut down the green hills of Daming."

"Compulsory prohibition, as a father, we will lose the hearts of the people."

'Only the fourth child can cure you! '

Ma Xiuying was funny and angry, but she would not refuse to go to Tuqiao Village if it was difficult.

During this time, she made a lot of small clothes.

Moreover, she also wanted to see Miao Yun and their newly built big house.

"Okay, wait a few more days, and I'll go take a look at the big house of the fourth child after it's built."

Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a sigh of relief. He refused to go before, but now begging to go, he was worried that Xiuying would put on airs, so he smiled and told him: "After you go, don't come back empty-handed, bring some freshly ground rice and noodles, We like to eat."

Ma Xiuying laughed angrily, "Zhu Chongba, your face is really big!"

"It's only right for him to cut down our trees, and it's only right for my father to eat his son!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stared.

……

"Brother-in-law, it's an agreement. On the New Year's Day this year, we'll come to see you and sister after we finish the reunion dinner."

In front of the red brick house, Xu Huizu looked at it and said.

"Okay, the more people there are, the more lively it will be."

Hearing this, Zhu Di raised his head and looked at the newly built big house.

Brick wall and wooden roof structure.

Similar to the architectural style of Jiangnan water town.

There are six large rooms in a row, kitchen, hall, and the remaining four are bedrooms.

This time, relatives came to the house, and there was no need to come back on the same day.

As for the cost.

extremely cheap.

Except for the labor costs for the villagers, as well as the tiles on the roof and the large square blue bricks on the ground, almost all the materials were obtained by himself with ample food and clothing.

The red bricks were burned together by the villagers.

The clay for firing the bricks was dug from the east hill.

The wood needed for the roof, tables, chairs, doors and windows are all cut from the mountains in the east.

Zhu Yuanzhang: We co-authored you to build a house, but we are all the ones who squeezed it out?
Xu Huizu sized him up, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He also had his share of credit for this. He turned around and squatted down next to Zhu Di.

Looking at the glue on the small clay stove, melted by the heat, and bubbling like a 'gurgling', I asked suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, if this stuff is mixed with white clay powder, can it really smear the inner walls of the house?"

"Should be able to." Zhu Di replied with some uncertainty.

He only knows that the putty powder used in modern times is talcum powder plus glue.

Once the house was built, he faced a problem.

interior decoration.

To be simple, you can use a sieve to screen the fine clay and spread it evenly like the hut you live in now.

In order to look good, you can also paint it with white mud water.

But that's not white enough.

So he wanted to try, using white mud and fish float glue, can he make a decoration material similar to putty powder.

After a while.

Under Xu Huizu's curious attention, Zhu Di mixed the fish float glue and fine white mud powder with warm water to mix evenly.

"Brother-in-law, try it quickly." Xu Huizu urged.

Zhu Di didn't dare to delay.

There is a temperature requirement for fish float glue to keep melting.

He quickly picked up the shovel, and quickly wiped the sticky white mud in the small wooden basin on the wall, smoothing it evenly.

One pot is used up.

The brother-in-law and brother-in-law stood in the wiped positions, watching and waiting eagerly.

After a long time, Xu Huizu stretched out his hand to poke it, and said pleasantly, "Brother-in-law, it's solidified and stuck to the wall, it's done!"

Zhu Di smiled.

This method also has a trouble.

Before the fish float glue is solidified, the viscous white mud must be applied to the wall and spread evenly.

The experiment was successful, and then the two began to work.

……

Ten days later, there are only five days left before the New Year's Eve.

Ending early.

The court rest began.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go to the imperial study room, and went straight to the harem uncharacteristically.

When they arrived at Ma Xiuying's bedroom.

In the palace courtyard, a very low-key carriage was already parked.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying, who was carrying a little maid with a big burden on her shoulders, and immediately asked with a dark face, "Are you going to stay here for a long time? Bring so many things!"

Ma Xiuying didn't have this plan at first, but when she heard this, she suddenly came up with this idea, and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that two days ago, the fourth child and the others had a housewarming party and moved to a new house."

"Now there is a place for the fourth brother to live. I want to stay at least one night."

"I want to see the granary they built, and I want to see Miao Yun and Lao Si give lessons to the children, taste the food cooked by Miao Yun and Lao Si, and I want to talk to those in Tuqiao Village who are sharp-eyed and say that some people are stupid The women talk..."

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying was talking about the things she planned to do. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was getting darker, she deliberately smiled and said, "Are you envious? Unfortunately, you have no face to go now!"

"We live in such a majestic, solemn and magnificent palace, we don't envy you!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, showing that he didn't care or envy.

Changing the subject, his tone softened, and he said: "It's enough to stay for one night. The New Year's Eve is approaching, and there are many things in the palace that need to be handled by you."

'Just be stubborn, your envy is written all over your face. '

Ma Xiuying whispered to herself, nodded with a smile, "Got it."

With that said, he got into the carriage.

The carriage started, and Zhu Yuanzhang was behind, shouting loudly: "Remember, bring back some rice noodles they have freshly ground! We love to eat, so don't come back empty-handed!"

Before the words were finished, the carriage had already driven out of the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the palace, except for the maids and eunuchs, he was the only one left, with a black face, he shook his sleeves and walked away, muttering as he walked, "We don't envy you!"

……

On the carriage, Ma Xiuying smiled and lowered the curtain.

The little maid said excitedly: "Your Majesty, do we really want to stay with His Highness for one night?"

"Of course it is true. There are not many such opportunities."

……

　Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
