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

Chapter 391 Northern Expedition!Northern Expedition!Northern Expedition!

Outside Fengtian Hall.

The morning court was over and all the officials had left. Zhu Di squatted in front of Zhu Gaochi and warned: "Remember, the palace is no better than our home. You are still an imperial grandson. Unlike my sister, you must pay attention to every move you make in the palace. When you go to the main hall for classes, , and have a good relationship with your imperial uncles. In the future, when your father and I are gone, if you encounter difficulties, you may have to turn to your imperial uncles for help!"

……

Xiao Yongming listened carefully.

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he nodded solemnly, "Dad, I remember."

Zhu Di smiled and rubbed the little guy's head.

He didn't expect that the old man would 'praise' Yong Ming so much.

If he knew, Yong Ming would not be allowed to enter the palace at all.

It's enough for people like Ming to hate him.

He didn't want Yong Ming to be hated by others.

There are intrigues and intrigues in the palace.

Qihua was a girl. No matter how much his father 'promoted' her, those who hated him knew that they promoted Qihua because he, the father, had earned Qihua this promotion.

But Yong Ming is different.

There were many people in the Ming Dynasty who hated him deeply and kept it secret.

Yong Ming was promoted like this by his father again.

He was a little worried about something unexpected happening.

"Okay, Dad has said everything he wants to say." Zhu Di straightened the little guy's clothes and stood up, "When Dad and your mother return to the village, they will come to pick you up. When the time comes, I will take you back to the village. Look at the place where you were born, do you have no memory?"

Xiao Yongming smiled and shook his head.

Zhu Di smiled.

When he turned around and was about to leave, he felt his leg being hugged.

Bow down.

He saw the brat hugging his legs.

Zhu Di smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

The brat smiled and shook his head, letting go of his hand.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

At this moment, rapid flattering shouts came from a distance. Zhu Di followed the sound and saw a little eunuch trotting over.

After the young eunuch approached, he panted and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned His Highness in the Imperial Study."

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

When he went to court, the old man didn't say anything.

Why did he just talk to Yong Ming for a while, and the old man suddenly summoned him.

"Dad, I'm going to see your imperial grandfather. You can go to class in the main hall." After explaining, Zhu Di followed the young eunuch to the imperial study.

Xiao Yongming waited until he couldn't see Zhu Di's back.

Then he smiled and jumped away.

……

Zhu Di followed the young eunuch into the imperial study room and saw Jiang Yu standing in front of the imperial desk with lowered eyebrows and sullen eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and ordered: "Jiang Yu, tell him what you reported."

Jiang Wei turned around and secretly glanced at Zhu Di, "Your Highness, after the news spread early in the morning, it caused a great response in Jinling..."

Zhu Di listened calmly.

It’s normal to have a big reaction.

After all, the tax revenue in Fujian is 200 million taels.

This year, Fujian Yinggui has ranked among the top five in all provinces.

However, as Jiang Wei got to the point, Zhu Di's face gradually became serious...

"People are talking about the fact that Fujian has now completed the [-]% employee-share system and will completely eliminate non-employee-share merchants next year. The people have great complaints against the imperial court. Some people have even raised..."

Jiang Wei paused slightly, "The King of Yan should be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di's expression changed instantly.

However, he regained his composure in an instant and silently wondered if someone was behind this matter.

so many years.

The hot discussions and sensations he caused were not uncommon.

But for the first time, someone actually said that he should be the crown prince.

……

In the royal study room, it fell into silence for a while.

Jiang Wei spied on Zhu Di from the corner of his eye and sneered secretly.

The sound this time was subtle, but it was really sensitive.

When these words of the common people reach the ears of the prince, what wonderful reaction will it trigger?

"Jiang Wei will go down first, and the others will also go down." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly ordered.

Jiang Wei was slightly stunned.

What does the emperor want to talk to Zhu Silang alone?
What's the point?
Countless speculations popped up in my mind instantly.

Not daring to show too much curiosity, he hurriedly bowed and turned to leave.

Snapped!
The door of the imperial study room is closed.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the stool next to him.

After Zhu Di walked over and sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said coldly: "If dad gives you the Ming Dynasty, will you be willing?"

The corners of Zhu Di's lips twitched fiercely, and he raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, you can just say this to me, but never say it to other brothers."

Originally, others had no idea.

After hearing the old man's words, people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"If I take over your job, I have to listen to your words. Our father is kind and our son is filial. To a large extent, we are far apart. As the saying goes, the fragrance from far away and the smell from near are smelly. If you get closer, I will not like you, and I will secretly despise you... …”

"jerk!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily, grabbed the books on the imperial case, and threw them towards Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled and turned aside.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di.

Xiuying once told him that if a family has quarrels, the family will not be defeated.

This is the quarrel of their old Zhu family!
Smells far away and stink near...

Damn it, that's what he dared to say.

Converging his thoughts, he looked at Zhu Di again and said solemnly: "In the past, my father had thought about what would happen if the Ming Dynasty was passed on to you..."

"Later you went to Fujian, and the troubles got bigger and bigger, and when the stalls became bigger and bigger, my father was glad that you were not the eldest son. With all your troubles, my father was afraid that you would follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. The smarter and more capable people think they are omnipotent and lack the due respect for things. Extremely smart people like you often have no respect for anything..."

……

Did the old man really think about letting me take over his class?
Zhu Di opened his mouth in slight shock.

I don't know if 'he' has had this honor in history.

But this thing is shocking enough.

If it spreads outside, it will definitely cause earth-shaking vibrations.

"At the beginning, Dad was already prepared for you to fail and fall into trouble in Fujian. Unexpectedly, he actually allowed you to solve the problem with ease, and you did it so well..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

He still underestimated the ability of the fourth child.

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore." He said this not to test the fourth child, but also to express his approval to the fourth child, which could not be expressed to others except Xiuying.

The fourth child is a party involved.

Qualified to listen.

She is also the only person besides Xiuying who is qualified to listen to these words.

Biao'er can't know about this either.

Of course, he dared to say these words to the fourth child because he fully trusted the fourth child and would not have any different thoughts about the imperial power after hearing these words.

"Tell me, the people are discussing the employment-share system. I thought about it. The people may have a big discussion. I want the people to discuss it and improve the customs of the Ming Dynasty. But I didn't expect that the people were so excited. There was talk about the position of the crown prince."

"Some are too audacious!"

"Father," Zhu Di said hurriedly, "If there is no intentional guidance behind this matter, I think that the reason why people say such treacherous and unethical remarks without hesitation is due to their emotions. If it is because of such sporadic remarks, Punishing the people severely will only make this matter more uproar..."

The purpose of severe punishment is to serve as a warning to others.

Could it be that when the time comes to announce to everyone that the people who will be severely punished have said that they support him as the crown prince?
Originally, most people did not have this idea.

The court's severe punishment is tantamount to widespread publicity.

Disguised propaganda.

The people did not dare to say anything anymore.

But I will think in my heart.

Moreover, a large-scale war will even make the people think that it is the elder brother who is behind it.

It’s even more detrimental to my elder brother.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di with joy.

"I think it's better to block this matter than to clear it up..."

"What kind of sparse method?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment. To be honest, it happened too suddenly.

Just now the old man mentioned in a cold voice that he had considered becoming the crown prince.

How to ease public sentiment.

He really didn't think much about it.

"First of all, my father should explain clearly to the people of the world that retaining the Fujian model and listing Fujian as a special province is to affirm Fujian's current achievements..."

Zhu Diyue said, his thoughts became clearer and a smile appeared on his lips, "At the same time, it also explains to the people that the imperial court has a very large territory, and the actual conditions such as folk customs and sentiments vary greatly between regions. The Fujian model is not not to be implemented, but to continue. Requires observation.”

"My father can also announce to the outside world that if there are merchants who want to establish a labor share system on their own, the imperial court will not stop it..."

……

"In short, I want to give the people something to think about, and at the same time, take this opportunity to give the employee stock system a breakthrough. When my father said such ambiguous words, those who opposed it did not dare to jump out."

"But if Big Brother says this, it will alienate many people from Big Brother, which is not conducive to the stability of Ming Dynasty..."

In fact, Big Brother clearly denies the employment-based shareholding system.

He can understand.

This is a necessary statement to maintain the fundamentals.

This is also what a prince should do.

If it were him, he would be the eldest brother.

He will also make the same statement.

When he has the power to truly speak for himself, he will be able to use his power to cleanse and adjust the fundamentals.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

His ambiguous statement calmed the people.

On the one hand, it can also help Biao'er.

Now, because Biao'er has not made any compromise on this matter, those who oppose the employment-share system will unswervingly support Biao'er.

This is very beneficial to the orderly and stable transfer of imperial power in the future.

"You!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly and nodded Zhu Di with a smile.

His son is actually the most suitable person to be a superior.

This time, the people were fooled by him!
Do you think he has no compassion for the people?

Have!
Otherwise, there would be no governance concepts such as rural village communes and the employee-employed shareholding system that benefit the people.

But his compassion and sympathy have always been very clear-cut.

When the people's behavior harms the overall situation, he will become very ruthless.

This is the quality that a superior person should have.

Zhu Di smiled knowing what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say.

The people have a simple side.

But there is also an irrational, blind, and impulsive side.

Blocking this matter will definitely not work.

It is definitely not possible to directly agree to the people's demands.

The Northern Expedition is imminent.

The future requires people from all over the world to work together.

There must be no internal friction or hindrance.

In addition, in the long run, the implementation of the employee share system throughout the Ming Dynasty should not be rushed.

Daming is too big!

Moreover, the altars and jars of Ming Dynasty are the hard work of everyone in Ming Dynasty.

It's not like he's overseas.

Using arrogant force to push everything back, he doesn't feel bad, it's not a pity.

Even if there are innocent people trapped in it, he doesn't care.

But can Daming do this?
Opponents fiercely opposed it, and many innocent people, because they were unable to distinguish right from wrong, would be coerced into fighting against the imperial court.

Treat this kind of people who are deceived and resist the imperial court.

Once the imperial court promotes innovation, it must be ruthlessly crushed.

Only in this way can innovation proceed.

Fujian was able to succeed because he caught the local tycoons in Fujian and colluded with Japanese pirates. Initially, he used this to coerce the tycoons in Fujian to act according to his ideas.

Later, when maritime trade was launched, the employee-shareholding system did not harm their interests. On the contrary, because maritime trade and maritime trade stimulated the prosperity of Fujianese people, Fujian's powerful merchants made huge profits from it.

Only then will they support the employment-share system.

Only then did Fujian's powerful merchants deeply reflect on the rural village communes and the employee-shareholding system.

It even funded scholars and set up several volunteer societies to study rural village societies and the employee-employed shareholding system.

In general.

Fujian's powerful merchants were short-lived and unwilling to be coerced, but quickly benefited.

Then support it because of interests.

Finally, because business became easier and better, and my reputation became better and better, I began to reflect on the system of rural village communes and employee-shareholding systems that made everyone rich, and then I came to agree with it from the bottom of my heart.

But this doesn’t work in the entire Ming Dynasty.

for a short period of time.

Without such a large wealth base, powerful merchants throughout the Ming Dynasty quickly benefited from the employee-share system.

The stimulating effect of sea trade and the support of One Fujian have almost fully tapped its potential.

Not enough to support the entire Ming Dynasty.

This means.

When the employee-share system was introduced to the world.

A powerful businessman must go through a period of long-lasting loss of interests.

At least three or four years.

Only when people all over the world become richer and their purchasing power increases can they benefit from the employee-share system.

Most people, even if powerful businessmen have a far-sighted vision than the common people, are not willing to do this.

After all, the powerful merchants are also worried about whether there will be any twists and turns during this period.

For example, costs increase.

If an emergency happens again, will it lead to its own decline? It won't wait until three or four years later, when the people have money and business is easy to do.

"Father, in fact, as long as the imperial court is willing to open up an opening, there will be people who will set up a system of employee shareholding. Each rural village will never rest on its laurels and guard the interests of one-third of an acre of land until the farmers have enough to eat. , they will seek more opportunities!”

"But farmers themselves also have big flaws. They don't have enough talents. If rural communities want to retain talents, implementing the employee-share system is the best way..."

After more than ten years.

More and more rural cooperatives, in order to seek greater benefits, are taking the initiative to establish a worker-share system.

People who support the employee-employed shareholding system are more willing to go to shops and businesses controlled by rural village communes for consumption.

This kind of asymmetric competition will inevitably force some smart businessmen to reform.

"Rural village communities are a key to leveraging the equalization and sharing of wealth in the Ming Dynasty, forcing merchants to hold their noses and transform themselves. My father only needs to open an opening for rural communities, as long as he remains unswerving and cultivates rural communities. …”

This catfish will definitely force the carnivores who are already at the top of the food chain to make changes.

It won’t work without changing!

This is milder than a direct administrative order.

Opposition is also smaller.

Just, it might take a little longer.

He estimated that it would take at least more than ten years for rural village communities to force merchants to become powerful.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and felt particularly comfortable.

He guessed that it was Lao Si's idea that Tuqiao Village unite with other villages to open up and establish a shareholding system for employees!
According to Jin Yiwei's report.

Some villages in Jinling followed suit and followed Tuqiao Village's example.

This seed has been planted by Lao Si for Ming Dynasty.

"Dad wants to abolish the prime minister system. What do you think about this? After the Northern Expedition, your contribution is enough to serve as prime minister. How about replacing Wang Guangyang and working with Liu Ji to help dad complete the abolition of the prime minister system?"

Originally, he could just tell the fourth child directly.

But now, he wanted to hear what Lao Si thought about abolishing the prime minister system.

Zhu Di was slightly surprised.

It's not because of the abolition of the phase system.

Instead, the old man asked for his opinion on the matter.

"Father, son and minister actually... do not agree with the abolition of the prime minister system." Zhu Di hesitated slightly, but told the truth.

He was so sincere and spoke against the old man's will.

He also has concerns.

Now, he actually doesn't want to interfere too much in Ming's internal affairs.

"First of all, after Erchen goes to the north, he will leave as soon as possible. People have even begun to support Erchen as the crown prince. Erchen does not want to get involved too much in Ming Dynasty affairs."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared instantly.

But one would have thought that it was rare for this bastard to talk to him so unreservedly and from the bottom of his heart.

Holding back his anger, he asked: "Tell me the reason why you disagree!"

Forced by the situation.

The fourth child flew away faster and faster.

This makes people feel uncomfortable!
He had experienced all kinds of storms and waves in his life, and he thought his heart was as hard as iron.

Unexpectedly, this bastard became his weakness.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, "Father, you can give instructions for more than ten hours a day. My eldest brother can do it, and even heroes can do it, but what about future generations? Father, you don't think they can be so diligent, right?"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What's that look in your eyes!" Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious.

He actually saw the joke on him in the eyes of the fourth bastard!
Yes, this bastard is laughing at him!
Isn’t it good that he is diligent?

'Reckless! '

Zhu Di touched the tip of his nose, sneered, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it, staring at a pile of memorials for seven or eight hours a day..."

……

"The descendants of future generations don't know how difficult it is to start a business. If they can spend three or four hours every day sitting down, giving instructions, and handling government affairs, they are worthy enough of you, the entrepreneurial ancestor. Don't have any expectations for future generations. Too much expectations..."

……

Zhu Yuanzhang listened and nodded slightly.

The fourth child said it was pessimistic.

But judging from historical experience, this is the case.

Moreover, future generations may not be as skillful as him and Lao Si.

Some matters are really left to their arbitrariness.

I'm afraid, they may not be able to handle it correctly.

"Then tell me, how can you check and balance the Prime Minister without abolishing the Prime Minister System? You should know that the Prime Minister's power is too great."

"It's very simple. Promote all the six ministers to prime ministers. In addition to the left and right ministers, the six ministers also become prime ministers. The left and right ministers have leadership rights over the six ministers. However, the six ministers are also prime ministers of the same rank and have the right to participate in decision-making. They are no longer A mere executor..."

In fact, it is the cabinet.

There are more people in the cabinet.

Decentralization of power.

It’s easier to check and balance.

At the same time, although the left and right ministers are the top bosses of the cabinet, because they do not have executive power, they have to rely more on imperial power if they want to do things.

But don't be like history, where you are the ceremonial supervisor or the eunuch who gets involved in politics.

These eunuchs.

Completely the emperor's slave.

Except for a few with good character, most eunuchs didn't care about reputation at all. When doing things, they took on the status of domestic slaves and only thought about making the emperor happy.

It's too destructive.

It is better for the emperor's confidants to be served by a group of ordinary officials from the provinces.

In fact, the three provinces and six ministries system is the imperial power of the world, a political framework with a relatively balanced distribution of power.

On this basis, just fine-tune it and slightly strengthen the central power.

Everything is most afraid of going from one extreme to another.

As Zhang Zhenren said, the most unstable thing in Tai Chi is precisely the two poles.

"Father, abolition of the prime minister system is deprivation of power, which is a great resistance. On the contrary, expanding the prime minister's power is a dispersion of the prime minister's power for the imperial power, but for the officials, it is empowerment, supporter , there will be many responders. If the father abolishes the prime minister system, I am afraid that there will be pressure from his son ministers and Liu Bowen, and the court will be turbulent. But if the father expands the number of prime ministers, besides the prime minister's heart, all the officials may be very excited. After all, Everyone wants to sit at the head of a hundred officials, and now that there are eight prime ministers in the cabinet, there are many more opportunities..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di angrily and funny.

How could he give birth to such a son?

My mind is full of 'wrong ways'!
When doing things, you can always approach it from some unexpected and tricky angles.

Body share system.

He felt that Daming was too big.

There are many opponents to direct administration with a piece of paper.

He took rural village communities as his entry point.

From the practical difficulties of lack of talents in rural communes and villages, rural communes were guided to take the initiative to establish a labor share system.

This forced other merchants to follow suit.

The severe squeeze on the prime minister's power threatened the imperial power.

If you think normally, you will definitely think of waste phase first.

Damn no!
He did the opposite, cunningly expanded the number of prime ministers and dispersed the prime minister's power.

"Okay, we will seriously consider what you said, get out!"

Zhu Di stood up with a smile, cupped his hands, turned around and left.

squeak……

"Fourth!" Just as he opened the door, a shout came from behind.

Just as Zhu Di was about to turn around, Zhu Yuanzhang's follow-up voice came, "Remember, no matter where you go or what difficulties you encounter, you are our best son, and we are also your father. As long as your father and your mother are alive, no matter what happens to you, No matter how difficult it is, Daming will always be your home!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Di's lips.

Did not look back.

With a smile, he opened the door of the imperial study and strode away.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di's upright back as he left, his eyes couldn't help but be slightly red.

This son is going to fly away after all!
He wanted to shout stop.

Can shout stop.

How did he place his best son?
……

Our best son?
As long as your parents are alive, Daming will always be your home!
Jiang Wei stood outside the door with his head lowered.

He didn't hear what the emperor and Zhu Silang said quietly before the door of the imperial study room opened.

I'm afraid these words will remain dusty forever.

Can……

When Zhu Silang opened the door, the emperor said these words.

It's enough to turn people upside down.

'How important is Zhu Silang in the emperor's heart? '

……

"Jiang Yu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came out, interrupting Jiang Wei's thoughts.

Jiang Wei walked in quickly.

The day.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke out and comprehensively explained the special province and Fujian model.

At the same time, an opening was opened for those who were willing to establish a system of employment shares.

The imperial court does not encourage or support the officials, but it will never allow any obstacles to be set up.

The news spread.

People's mood quickly eased.

However, the Jinling elite were very dissatisfied with this.

Qualified people went straight to the East Palace to inquire about the news.

Unqualified, making emotional comments.

"I knew that Zhu Silang would be up to no good when he returned to the court, let's see!"

"He Zhu Silang makes enemies everywhere and will not end well!"

"It's best that something happens to Bei Zheng! He has made the entire grassland disgraced!"

"Your Majesty is on tour to the south. We must go to Fujian to see ourselves. We must know ourselves and our enemies!"

……

After Zhu Di left the palace, he was dragged to drink by Zhu Xi and others.

These brothers all hoped that after the Northern Expedition, they could borrow a few people from him to help reorganize the feudal king's guard. They also proposed to purchase firearms from the Jilong Island Firearms Workshop.

The brothers were noisy and drunk all afternoon.

Zhu Di was so helpless that he was let go by the brothers after agreeing to everyone's requests one by one.

A group of people sent Zhu Di back home in a mighty manner.

Then they dispersed happily.

It attracted the attention of the entire Zhuzi Lane.

……

Zhu Di was a little drunk when he came to the dormitory.

It happened that Wu Yunqige came out of it.

Wu Yunqige was stunned for a moment, then smiled broadly, "I've met my sworn brother!"

The corners of Zhu Di's lips twitched fiercely, and he nodded solemnly, saying: "Since she is the adopted sister of me and Miaoyun, she has to bear the responsibilities and obligations of a rebellious sister. I heard that your nephew, oh, Jin Douzi, likes you very much. Next year when he is weaned, you can help me and your sister-in-law take care of the baby."

Stop talking.

Zhu Di strode in.

Boom!

Wu Yunqige felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

responsibility?

obligation?

Whose rules?
The aunt has to babysit the children for her brother and sister-in-law?

Can Zhu Ruruo still have some face?

Wu Yunqige finally regained consciousness and subconsciously turned around, but Zhu Di could no longer be seen.

"Forget it, forget it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. In my life, I have been unlucky enough to meet Zhu Rurude for eight lifetimes!"

Wu Yunqige muttered in a low voice, comforting herself, turned around and left angrily.

……

Inside the bedroom.

Xu Miaoyun wiped Zhu Di's face with a wet towel to sober up, and said with a smile: "You really can't suffer any loss!"

Zhu Di let Xu Miaoyun help wipe his face and said with a smile: "Who said I can't suffer a loss? A loss is a blessing. Today I suffered a loss."

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

Of course she knew what Shiro meant by suffering a loss today.

People outside are in a stable mood.

The upper echelons of Jinling blamed Shiro for his father's ambiguous attitude towards gaiting the body of a hired worker.

After all, Shiro had a secret conversation with his father in the royal study, and then his father spoke out.

Anyone with a discerning eye can easily guess that this was Shiro's doing.

In fact, even if there is no public opinion about this matter.

Shiro can do it too.

Doing this opened an opening for the Ming Dynasty's employment stock system.

At the same time, nowadays, I am afraid that many upper-class elites have become staunch supporters of Big Brother.

After all, the eldest brother still has no position on the employment-share system and sticks to his previous opposition.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di, the pain in her eyes flashed away.

Mingming Shiro's talent is enough to control the entire Ming Dynasty and display it to his heart's content.

But now, he has to go far away.

I still have to carry the sedan chair for my eldest brother and continue to show goodwill.

I hope that these good intentions can become the link that continues the brotherhood a hundred years after the father and mother.

I hope... Big brother can understand Shiro's good intentions...

Zhu Di smiled and picked him up.

Xu Miaoyun's legs subconsciously wrapped around Zhu Di's waist.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "The stage of Ming Dynasty is too small, and there are too many constraints. You have to worry about everything. How can it be compared with the outside world? You should be happy for me, not feel sorry for me."

Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile.

Asked: "When will we return to the village?"

"Wait a minute. When you are in better health, let Dongxu and the others go back to the village to prepare. When their wedding is approaching and you have given birth, we can go back. I still have some unfinished matters on hand."

……

During this period.

Zhu Di sent Yu Jing back to Dongfan.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng also used the excuse to visit naval warships on the day the navy left for its return voyage.

Got the chance to talk to Zhu Di alone.

cabin.

"Fourth, we want to join you, but Mr. Tang wants us to stay..."

Zhu Neng complained with a sad face.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Third brother, if you still want to go to sea after the Ming Dynasty is more stable, or if you have no development opportunities in the Ming Dynasty, you can come to me at any time."

He also wants them to stay.

Anyway, as long as Qiu Lao Er and Zhu Lao San come over, he can organize and train their troops at any time.

They don’t need any qualifications!
Qiu Fu patted Zhu Neng on the shoulder and reminded, "Fourth brother, don't be fooled by him. He complained because he wanted to use this as an excuse to tell you that you can find a way to transfer us to your command during the Northern Expedition next year. Brothers join forces and have a good fight..."

In fact, he and Zhu Laosan had already discussed it.

How will the situation develop in Ming Dynasty in the future?
How did Daming's attitude toward Lao Si develop?

It's not clear yet.

It is good for Lao Si that they stay in Daming.

The same goes for the Northern Expedition.

No one knows what will happen during this northern expedition.

After all, Lao Si’s return this time is so popular!
There are too many people who hate Lao Si.

No one knows for sure whether someone will stab the fourth child in the back during the Northern March.

People who care about Lao Si don't want Feng Sheng's incident to happen again.

They were transferred to Lao Si.

It’s Lao Si’s most solid backing!
"I'll think of a solution when the time comes." Zhu Di knew what they were thinking and agreed with a smile.

Zhu Neng received Zhu Di's assurance and then smiled, "Fourth brother, let me tell you good news. Over the years, Boss Zhang has grown his tribe to 20, and the elite of Daijia are only 5. They are absolute elites, not The group of horse bandits in the past could pull out at least [-] people by searching and picking them up. Shouldn't our plan to raise bandits be put into practice during this northern expedition?"

The strategy of raising bandits has been carried out secretly for six years.

If used well, it can produce unexpected effects.

Zhu Di was slightly shocked, "So many?"

Qiu Fu's expression became solemn and he explained: "Fourth brother, after Tuogusi Timur succeeded to the throne as Khan, in order to stimulate the bloody people of the grasslands, he deliberately carried out a very bloody survival of the fittest in the grasslands in recent years, conniving at the tribal conflicts. Biting and annexing each other, a large number of old wolves decayed and lost their teeth, and were replaced by young wolf kings..."

……

"After all, the eldest brother is a Han. Two years ago, when the number of troops increased to 20, he stopped annexing the army and concentrated on training troops. He was worried that if the army expanded too much, he would be jealous of Tuogu Si Timur."

……

Zhu Di nodded.

"It seems that this northern expedition will not be easy."

He did not expect that Togu Si Timur would have such courage.

Isn't this just raising Gu on the entire grassland?

The weak will be swallowed up by the more ferocious.

In the end, a powerful Gu insect was developed.

snort!
Zhu Di suddenly sneered and sneered: "In the past years when the imperial court was preparing for the Northern Expedition, it did not send troops to sweep the grasslands. It seems that it gave Tuogusi Timur time. This man also had the courage to dare to use this method to inspire the grassland people. The bloody courage..."

But in everything, there is good and there is bad.

Tuogu Si Timur used this method to forcibly awaken the blood and courage of the grassland people.

But the same thing happened, the Gu insects came out one after another.

They are all ambitious!
Just this northern expedition.

It can completely destroy the Beiyuan Khan's tent and eradicate the grassland co-owners who inherited from the Yuan Dynasty to the Beiyuan Dynasty.

The vitality of the grassland is severely damaged.

Next, it will fall apart.

These Gu worms won't obey anyone.

They will bite each other!
For a long time, Ming could no longer be threatened.

However, this time he returned to the court, until now, he had not heard the court mention the idea of ​​how to effectively rule the grassland.

Grasslands are not included in effective rule.

It would be difficult to eradicate the nomadic culture and roots.

these years.

He has actually thought about this.

Some ideas.

Can……

This time I returned to the court, the limelight was too strong.

The eldest brother was in command again during the Northern Expedition.

A battle for the father to boost his eldest brother's prestige.

Next, he needs to keep a low profile.

You can't overwhelm the host.

……

Later, Zhu Di returned to the village with his family of five.

Yong Ming and Qi Hua were curious about the place where they were born.

Uncle Eight and the others doted on the two little guys.

Tuqiao Village has also changed drastically.

A mill was built to grind rice and flour, but Uncle Eight complained that the efficiency of the mill was too low. Even though a mill was built in a cooperative village, it was still too slow and too labor-intensive.

Zhu Di smiled and said nothing.

Even more excited.

When there is demand stimulation, people will use their intelligence to improve and create.

For example, to make wine from corn stalks, the corn stalks need to be crushed first.

Composting also requires crushing various crop straws.

Very labor intensive.

In Tuqiao Village, he saw a three-blade knife, a guillotine, that was pulled and rotated by accumulating power.

This was invented by the blacksmith in Zhoujia Village, a neighboring village.

Today, Zhoujiacun has created considerable profits with this invention.

……

Three children after marriage.

Lao Shisan came to Tuqiao Village with Miaoyin and various painting tools.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun took the children.

Under the apricot tree in the old courtyard, Jean Miaoyin painted another picture.

In this painting, the children have grown up.

There are also several more children, Yuan Ji, Yang Rong, Yong Ming, and Qi Hua.

At this moment, no one realized the later value of this painting.

It has become an important document for studying this special historical period.

……

Amidst the laughter and joy of returning home,

After visiting Tuqiao Village and surrounding villages, Tang He and Ye Mao returned to Tuqiao Village and prepared to leave.

Before leaving.

Zhu Di saw him off.

I asked Ye Mao with a smile: "After observing and observing, what insights do you have? Do you have any clear and intuitive ideas for the refined and in-depth development of rural communities in Fujian?"

Ye Mao smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, after watching this circle, I know what to do. In the final analysis, it is to encourage and guide all rural industries..."

Tang He looked at Zhu Di and then at Ye Mao, listening carefully to Ye Mao's sentiments.

Full of emotion.

I don’t know why, but the people around Lao Si always have a vigorous and upward spirit.

This is rarely seen in Daming.

It was when I followed His Majesty to found the country.

They don't have this kind of enthusiasm.

What exactly is missing in Ming Dynasty?
He has been observing and pondering these days.

But I still can't figure it out.

……

"Your Majesty, I am more confident now. When Your Majesty goes south to visit Fujian, he will definitely see a Fujian that has improved to a higher level!"

He didn't know whether he could break through the bottleneck period.

But he must work hard in this direction!
More than a year is a very short time.

But if you use it well, you can do a lot of things!

Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "Okay, I look forward to that day. After I go back, I will continue to let those rural villages where the gentry have a stake in them be. If they bribe you, you can accept it boldly!"

"When I get back, clean it thoroughly!"

……

Tang He secretly observed Zhu Di.

He also heard about this matter when he and Ye Mao visited the surrounding area in the past few days.

Or people say that the fourth child is most like the eldest brother Emperor Zhu.

indeed!

After Zhu Di and Ye Mao finished talking.

Tang He smiled and said, "We have agreed that after the Northern Expedition is over, Yang Laoba from your village will follow me back to our hometown and help me build a local village community. Tuqiao Village cannot develop so well. People in our hometown are still having a hard time, haha!"

"Okay, I'll talk to my eighth uncle about this. When the time comes, I'll ask Yingxu and Zengshou to stay in Daming for the time being, and they can go back to their hometown with my second uncle to start a local village community."

Tang He was satisfied.

After sending Tang He and Ye Mao away.

Zhu Di's family of five returned to peace.

I spent the Chinese New Year in Tuqiao Village.

On the first day of the new year, we returned to Jinling.

The Northern Expedition has begun in full swing.

The money, food and weapons accumulated over the years are being transferred to the north.

Groups of elites from the imperial court were also mobilized from various places and gradually gathered in Peiping.

The car rattles, Ma Xiaoxiao.

a time.

The whole world is depressed.

……

Fishing sea.

The Royal Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

After Tuogusi Timur succeeded to the throne, the royal court moved from Helin to Yuerhai.

A magnificent new temple is located not far from the royal court.

this day.

Togu Si Timur, accompanied by the soldiers of the Khan tent, came to the temple.

Yao Guangxiao was already waiting outside the temple.

"Meet Khan!"

"Master, there is no need to be formal!"

The two parties exchanged greetings and entered the temple's treasure hall.

Yao Guangxiao personally invited the incense.

Tuogu Si Timur pretended to be a good person, kowtowed to the Buddha statue, and sat down with Yao Guangxiao on a futon in front of the Buddha.

"Master, Ming Dynasty has already sounded the clarion call for attack..."

Tuogusi Timur looked at Yao Guangxiao as he spoke.

He and the Daoyan master got acquainted because Zhu Silang robbed his princess.

At that time, the other party came to him with a dozen or so slaves who had shaved their heads and told him the news.

It's a pity that he didn't get the princess back after all.

Now, even more news has been sent back.

Wu Yunqige.

White swan on the grassland.

His princess became Zhu Silang's concubine!

What a shame!
Over the years, he has been raising Gu in the grassland to awaken the bloody nature of the grassland people. This was also Monk Daoyan's idea.

Don't say it.

Today, the entire grassland and various tribes seem to have reproduced the bloody bravery of their ancestor Genghis Khan.

The killing made the prairie man's eyes turn red!

……

"I, Khan and Zhu Silang have the hatred of seizing their wives and the shame of defeat. This time, I want to use Zhu Silang's life to restore the glory of my ancestors!"

"What does the master think?"

Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly.

Wu Yunqige was captured for many years.

It happened that at this time, news came that Wu Yunqige had been involved by King Yan.

No matter how he felt, there was a conspiracy in it.

Could it be the prince?
After pondering for a while, Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said with an implicit smile: "If I were the Khan, I would have made a big show on the surface and pretended that Zhu Silang would be killed by gathering a large number of troops. But as long as Zhu Silang and Prince Zhu Biao divided their forces, they would secretly gather the most elite troops. of troops, pretending to be defeated along the way, attracting the prince’s army away from the Ming Dynasty, and then..."

Yao Guangxiao clenched his fist fiercely!
"The soldiers and horses commanded by the prince must be the elite of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If the prince has three advantages and two disadvantages, the Ming Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes!"

……

He didn't know whether it was the prince or the prince's family who wanted to plot against Zhu Silang.

If not.

Of course it's fine.

if.

The prince will definitely let Zhu Silang lead the army alone to attract Beiyuan troops!

The prince plotted against Zhu Silang, but he was used by him, so he would not feel guilty.

If something happens to the prince, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably stage dragons seizing the heir!
As for external dangers from the grasslands?
He is not afraid at all.

Raising Gu, these Gu insects have already been staring at Wang Ting.

Togu Si Timur only saw the bloody bravery of the grassland reappearing.

But they didn't realize that their power came from inheritance.

Not as prestigious as Genghis Khan.

How can I command this group of Gu insects!
