First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Ximeng stepped on the springboard and stepped onto the land on the south bank of the Yangtze River. He felt something was missing... He looked to both sides, Lan Yu followed him, and Li Wenzhong had just jumped off.

"Sir, something?"

Zhang Ximeng lowered his voice, "Well, I'm missing a fan!"

Lan Yu frowned. He didn't understand what it meant. Li Wenzhong was shrewd and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yufan Lunjin, the dust disappears in the midst of talking and laughing! Sir, are you trying to learn from Zhou Lang?"

Sapphire looked exaggerated and couldn't help but curl his lips. He dared to compare himself to the ancients. Isn't your husband too arrogant?

Zhang Ximeng blinked, "Li Wenzhong, is your uncle comparable to Emperor Wu?"

Li Wenzhong was startled, "This...I am afraid that my uncle might not as well sit down with Sun Zhongmou in the southeast, but his uncle's future is boundless!"

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "That's it, we assist the lord and achieve hegemony, how can Zhou Lang be comparable?"

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, with a healthy body, he took a big step and went straight to Tongling County.

Lan Yu approached Li Wenzhong and said in a low voice: "Mr. loves to brag, don't listen to him nonsense!"

If Li Wenzhong didn't hear it, he lowered his head for a moment, and he suddenly realized, making a fist in excitement, "Yes, sir is right! It's Lanyu that you don't study well, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to be a prince!"

Lan Yu was stunned, how come you were also fooled by Zhang Ximeng?

"I will be free now. My brother-in-law is the first to enter Tongling. He is the first one! In a few years, I will also be able to train and charge into the battle. A marquis in a mere marquis, can't help but Sapphire!"

Li Wenzhong didn't care what Lanyu said, just beaming and ran towards Tongling.

The subsequent navy soldiers also came ashore in batches, and everyone was smiling.

Although they still don't understand what this battle means, it is always a good thing to succeed in the first battle from Jiangbei to Jiangnan!

It's just that most of the big guys are Chaohu people, and they have no affection for the land in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past, the big guys had a hard time. If they can plunder, grab enough gold and silver treasures, go back with food, and enjoy the fruits of victory the best!

Among the navy, there are many people eager to try.

Fortunately, Zhang Ximeng emphasized military discipline the most during these days of training. He also mixed up the people of the Yu family and the Liao family and monitored each other, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Moreover, Chang Yuchun took the lead in breaking into Tongling, demonstrating strong combat effectiveness.

There are not many soldiers in the Zhu Family Army, but the deterrent force is sufficient.

Then there was no looting.

Although in the eyes of many people, a soldier is a tool man, but I am sorry, if you want to turn a soldier into a real tool man, you need strict and even cruel training to succeed.

Otherwise, the soldiers will have their own minds, and any mess will happen.

In history, there was someone in old Zhu crossing the river who wanted to **** a lap and ran back quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang had to cut off the ropes and let go of all the ships. With the determination to fight against the water, the soldiers were forced to make up their minds to stay in Jiangnan and develop their forces. .

The difficulty of starting a business is evident!

However, to the people of Tongling, the Zhu Family Army who did not commit any crime in Qiu really made them shine.

In a house, two elderly people sat in the middle. They were two prestigious scholars in the city, one was Tao An and the other was Li Xi.

The two were nervous and looked out anxiously. At this time, a young man came in from the outside. It was Tao An's nephew, whose surname was Yang, named Tianyang.

The young man is in his twenties and he is very energetic.

"How is it? Zhu Jiajun is really as rumored?"

Yang Tianyang nodded vigorously, exclaiming: "Uncle, Lao Li, I really opened my eyes today. Those Zhu's army really didn't enter the houses. The Yuan army set fire, and they took the initiative to fight the fire. Someone beat the gongs and drums to ask the people in the city. Go out to put out the fire, guess what?"

Tao An rolled his eyes with anger, "What am I guessing, you kid hurry up!"

Yang Tianyang exclaimed: "Anyway, I never expected that they took out the rations, saying it was to reward the people... You said, we are fighting fires for our own sake, how can we ask for food from others?"

Tao An couldn't help taking a deep breath and looked at Li Xi. The two old men were deeply shocked. "It's better to see it after hearing it. This Zhu Jiajun really has the majesty of the master!" Li Xi exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

Tao An said: "It has been eleven years since the Zhizheng, and it has been four years now. At the very beginning, Peng Dang had defeated Tongling, and then the Yuan army killed them again and again, again and again. Which time was it not because the people were robbed and the people didn't live their lives? Even though the monk Peng is famous, we have all seen the soldiers of Peng Dang. Compared with Yuan Ting, they are no better than Yuan Ting. They are all the same!"

Li Xi nodded and said, "Tuotuo was dismissed, and Yuan Ting destroyed the Great Wall on its own, and the National Day. It's just hard to say who the world will go to. I saw the demeanor of Zhu's army today. This person! Brother Tao, what do you think?"

Tao An nodded, "Naturally, it's just that the Zhu Jiajun cleans up the land and divides the fields equally. It doesn't seem to be that proper!"

Li Xi smiled, "Brother Tao shouldn't ask knowingly. If there is no pili method, where would the thousands of miles of land come from? The founders of the past dynasties will re-divide the fields and organize the family Qimin as the foundation of the country. However, the Zhu family army is more simply and thorough. Tian’s method is also more fair and reasonable! To say that they are eradicating tycoons, they are also related to Yuan Ting, and they are sinful. Apart from other things, I heard that Li Shanchang is Yuan Ting’s young official, and it is not Zhu Jiajun’s at this time. Senate?"

Tao An finally smiled, "Brother really has a great opinion, but the land of our two families is probably going to be let out."

Li Xi nodded his head and smiled and said: "Let's let some, so that we can exchange for a beautiful future for future generations, the old man is as sweet as a sweetheart!"

Tao An also smiled and said, "In this case, there is nothing to say... Tell everyone, welcome the king!"

Li Xi and Tao An, the two old men, took the lead, greeted family and relatives, brought drinks and food, and took the initiative to reward the army.

What surprised them was that before they came out, the people in Tongling had already moved.

Many people greeted enthusiastically and talked freely.

The two elders listened carefully, and it turned out that the big guys were saying: Bodhisattva soldiers are here!

That's right, Zhu Jiajun's reputation has long been passed on.

Since last fall, many people who escaped from Jiangbei have returned to Hezhou one after another. Then there was news that these people had obtained land and had a foundation for their lives.

It is also said that all exorbitant taxes and taxes have been abolished, and there is no need to pay for grain in the ration field. Everyone can eat and wear warm clothes.

There are also rumors among other businessmen that they took copper materials to Chuzhou and other places and sold them at very good prices. And along the way, they saw that every household had grain stocks, and everyone had grain stocks.

Many people in Arita feed their chickens with broken rice!

This is all the merits of the Zhu family's army. The Bodhisattva soldiers arrive one day early, and the common people will suffer one day less.

All kinds of rumors have long been spread around the Yangtze River, especially those places separated from Hezhou and Chuzhou by the river, they are well known.

However, when Zhu's army crossed the river, the first battle was Tongling.

And the first Anmin notice posted was about the land division order.

Almost instantly, Tongling boiled.

The Baixins took the initiative to greet the soldiers and horses, and they ate pots of pulp, and the scene was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

This kind of scene makes Tao An and Li Xi both excited and shocked. They won't be late, will they?

Sure enough, there was a wealthy businessman named Chen Di. He was in a copper business. Of course, he didn't need to say money, but his status was not high. After all, a businessman couldn't get on the stage.

But who knew that he had taken several carts of belongings and volunteered to donate it.

"The villain meets Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Ximeng glanced at him and smiled: "Do you know me?"

Chen Di hurriedly said: "When Mr. Zhang was in Chuzhou, he talked to merchants from all over the area about business tax. The villain was among them, but he didn't dare to speak."

Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "Why, did I not let people talk?"

Chen Di hurriedly said, "No, at that time Tongling was still in Ni Yuan's hands. The villain didn't dare to say more, for fear that it would cause trouble. Now, Zhu Jiajun is here! Tongling has a blue sky! The villain really wants to be loud. Shout, Long live Zhu Jiajun!"

He took the lead in shouting, and the guys behind him first shouted, and then the other people shouted Long Live, the scene was enthusiastic.

Zhang Ximeng waited for the big guy to be quiet, and then asked: "Since you know about business tax, you must have some experience, do you think it is appropriate?"

"It's right! It's so suitable!" Chen Di took the initiative: "Guys, I took two thousand catties of copper to Chuzhou. Because it was in short supply, only half of the tax was collected. Then someone escorted me and went. The market, from beginning to end, was polite and greeted with smiles. I didn’t ask for a penny, so I looked for a place to live and arranged for delivery. To be honest, the money I brought now was all my trips to Chuzhou several times. What I earn from doing business... nothing else, I will take out all this money today and dedicate it to Zhu Jiajun! Please Mr. Zhang must accept the villain’s heart!"

Only then did the big guy know that Chen Di had made a fortune during this period of time, and he actually smuggled copper materials to Chuzhou. He is so bold!

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but curiously asked: "How did you cross the Yangtze River without encountering danger?"

Chen Dihan smiled and said: "There are still dangers, but there is a saying, Qiantong Shenlu! That gang of Yuan troops are very greedy, I can send copper materials across the river, or use their warships. Miles!"

Huh!

This was a shock to the big guys, the Yuan army was really full of loopholes!

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "You said that money leads to God's way. Is anyone on our side falling under your money?"

"No! No one!" Chen Di immediately denied.

Zhang Ximeng deliberately said angrily: "What's the matter? You can't lie, do you?"

Chen Di waved his hand again and again~www.readwn.com~Mr. Zhang, please think about it, Yuan Yanzi deducts military pay, and soldiers have a hard life. As long as they give money, they will do things for you, regardless of whether the court is dead or alive. But yours is different. Everyone is divided into fields. For a family of three, there are dozens of acres of farmland and dozens of acres of sangma fields, which are at least worth hundreds of dollars. Although the villain is a bit rich, I can't sell a few people! People even look down on my bad money! "

Listening to his explanation, the big guys burst into laughter.

Zhang Ximeng even smiled and said, "So if we say that we have a good field, can we still prevent corruption?"

As soon as these words came out, a voice came from the crowd, "Don't say it! Those who don't have permanent property have no perseverance. Zhu Jiajun divides the land, that is the kingly way!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a spirited little old man wearing a Confucian shirt, squeezed out of the crowd. The person here was Tao An, and behind him, another old man followed, it was Li Xi.

These two are quite prestigious in Tongling, and the big guys were amazed when they arrived.

Zhu Jiajun is really popular!

Tao An arrived in front of Zhang Ximeng, looked carefully, and then bowed and said: "Presumably you are Governor Zhang, the old man boldly said that Jinling tigers are in the land of the dragon, the foundation of the emperor, and you should try it early to achieve great cause!"
