Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 78 Zhu Yuanzhang: The fourth child doesn’t know how! Just don’t do it! (First order required)

Tuqiao Village.

Under the apricot tree in the small courtyard with a fence.

Xing'er is ripe.

Yellow and orange colors hang on the branches.

Xu Miaoyin, who had just urged the children to finish their homework and returned home from school, sat under the apricot tree, raised her head and opened her mouth, waiting for the apricots to fall from the tree...

While waiting, he muttered mischievously: Xing'er, Xing'er, come into my mouth quickly.

puff!

Xu Miaoyun came out to look for firewood. When she heard this, she couldn't help but smile. She picked one, wiped it with a handkerchief, stuffed it into Xu Miaoyin's mouth, pinched Xu Miaoyin's nose, smiled and said dotingly: You, It’s been less than a month since I came to the village, and I’m starting to look less and less like a lady.”

Xu Miaoyin stood up with a smile, took Xu Miaoyun's arm, and said coquettishly: Sister, the village is really comfortable.

Listen to the chirping of birds, the chirping of cicadas, and the wind blowing, bringing with it the fragrance of wheat and rice.

I don't even want to go home.

Second girl, if you don't want to go home, stay in our village. Loud laughter came from outside the yard.

I saw the fourth aunt walking in carrying a few bundles of fresh grass.

Xu Miaoyun rushed to greet her, Fourth Aunt, you still have the cuts you gave Xiaohei and the others yesterday.

It's okay. Let's chat on the way home from the fields. It's just something casual. Fourth Aunt said with a smile, Don't be polite to Aunt.

You teach the kids, and we help you with some work. It's only natural.

…

No, no, I won't sit down anymore. I have to go back and count the chickens at home to see if they are all back.

…

The fourth aunt left in a hurry.

Xu Miaoyin held Xu Miaoyun's arm and looked at the back of her fourth aunt as she left, Sister, Tuqiao Village has a good environment and the people are nice.

This is also due to your brother-in-law. Xu Miaoyun smiled and poked Xu Miaoyin's nose, You are good to others, and others will be good to you.

Relatively speaking, rural people are simple. If you treat them a little better, they will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold.

In this regard, the powerful people in Jinling City will never be able to compare with them.

Xu Miaoyin nodded, teasing and joking: Sister, do you miss your brother-in-law?

No! Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned red instantly and she took her hand out, I still have to cook, so I won't mess around with you anymore.

After saying that, he turned around and went to grab the firewood.

Xu Miaoyin put her hands behind her back, smiled, and followed behind like a little tail, Sister, you are blushing.

Sister, you are so happy!

…

It's approaching evening.

Mao Xiang hurriedly entered the palace.

Royal study room.

Mao Xiang lowered his head, held the secret record in both hands, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang, Your Majesty, I personally inquired about the comprehensive observation report recorded by the Jinyi guards around Zhu Silang.

“Nothing is left out.”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately reached out and took it. After opening it impatiently, he closed it quietly.

Suppressing his eagerness, he put the secret note on the imperial desk and asked, How much money did he earn exactly, and how did he distribute the money?

Zhu Silang earned a total of one thousand one hundred sixty-three taels and seven hundred Wen.

Take out two hundred and twenty-three taels and seven hundred Wen as funds for the village school.

…

When he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up slightly, nodded, and praised: It's true that they are willing to spend money. It seems that they are determined to win the child examination.

We want to see what results children can get in the exam next spring.

Hearing this, the corners of Mao Xiang's lips twitched.

The emperor is suspicious of King Yan, so he always thinks first when looking at problems.

continue.

Mao Xiang gathered his thoughts and continued hurriedly: The remaining 940 taels will be divided into two parts by Zhu Silang, and he will get 470 taels...

What a loss!

With a slander, he continued, The other four hundred and seventy taels will be divided equally among the forty-seven villagers, and each person will receive ten taels of silver.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, The villagers of Tuqiao Village are very happy and grateful to him, right?

Yes! Mao Xiang gritted his teeth and replied helplessly.

You didn't expect that he would distribute it like this, right?

Mao Xiang shook his head, I don't have Zhu Silang's mind and cannot be so generous. I judged before that Zhu Silang might give each villager one tael of silver.

Even one tael is a huge wealth for the villagers. They have been working hard for a year and can't save so much money.

However, I asked the Jinyi Guardsman, and he replied that Zhu Silang did not regard the villagers as hired workers, but as business partners.

He is someone who knows how to distribute benefits. Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself, waved his hand and ordered: Everyone, please go down.

Click!

Wait for the door to close.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one left in the imperial study.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang pick up the thick secret music and open it.

It is indeed Mao Xiang's handwriting.

The questions and answers between Mao Xiang and the Jinyi Guardsmen were clear and organized.

The question was pertinent.

The answer was clear and concise.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked very carefully and slowly.

Watched it several times in a row.

call!

At a certain moment, he exhaled softly, his solemn expression relaxed, and he said with a relaxed smile: This bastard, Fourth, is still a bit tender after all.

It seems that I didn't expect to win over the green-skinned bastard once I couldn't appease the villagers.

This is good, this is good...

He leaned back slightly and rested his head on the back of the chair, It's enough for Biao'er to master this kind of emperor's mental skills and iron-blooded wrists. He shouldn't and can't master these things!

Otherwise, aside from playing the brotherly relationship card, I'm afraid Biao'er won't be able to suppress him.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to this matter.

He promised to win over the green-skinned bastard with a small profit.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of the green-skinned bastard, who is ruthless and uses every possible means to frighten and suppress the villagers.

This is the emperor's mind!

It also reflects a person’s iron-blooded skills!

new

He didn't want Zhu Di to have this ability.

I am also afraid that Zhu Di has this ability.

Until now, I felt relieved...

…

Zhu Di didn't know that the old man took this matter so seriously.

If you knew it, you would be glad that when you thought of this method to solve the problem, you just thought about it in your heart.

Unspoken.

Otherwise, if the old man knew it, he might have to torture the couple again.

…

Traveling all night.

The next day it was gray and gray.

The outline of Tuqiao Village appeared in everyone's sight.

Smell a familiar smell!

Go home!

This time when the corvee came back and the children were watching helplessly, I was finally able to take out something and give it to the children.

No, every time I came back from doing the corvee in the past years, the kids looked at me eagerly, but we couldn't get anything out of us. Old man, that's so uncomfortable!

As a son, as a man, as a father, this time I have the toughest backbone!

Shiro, are you more eager to go home?

According to the habits of you young couple, at this time, you should get up and clean up.

…

When the home appeared in front of them, everyone's fatigue from traveling under the stars and night was instantly wiped away, they shouted excitedly, and then all made fun of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was neither tired nor tired. He smiled and joked with everyone and walked a little faster.

He also misses home...

Back at the entrance of the village, everyone separated.

Zhu Di shook the big bag on his back and murmured with a smile: After I go home, I don't do anything. I have to ask Miaoyun to give the children a holiday, and then let me hold them and sleep for the whole day!

As he spoke, he walked a little faster.

…

Small courtyard.

Xu Miaoyin was cleaning the yard, picking up the apricots that fell overnight and putting them in a bamboo basket.

Hearing footsteps, I turned back curiously...

Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

Brother-in-law!

Hearing the sound, Zhu Di was startled. He looked up and saw Xu Miaoyin, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Without thinking too much, he could guess that Miaoyin must be accompanying Miaoyun during this period.

He was quite grateful.

But at this moment, Miaoyin is a bit 'eyesore'.

Sister, sister, the person you have been dreaming about is back! Xu Miaoyin was the first to come to her senses and deliberately shouted into the room.

After a burst of crackling sounds in the house.

Xu Miaoyun's face was full of excitement and she hurried out.

Zhu Di had already pushed the door open and came in.

Xu Miaoyun rushed to Zhu Di, tiptoeing slightly, obviously wanting to hug him with scissor legs, but obviously realized that Xu Miaoyin was next to him, and stopped urgently.

puff!

Xu Miaoyin also noticed it, covered her mouth and snickered, turned around and teased: I am very sensible and know that I should avoid it at this moment and not disturb you anymore.

Zhu Di glanced at it with an angry smile.

Then he looked at Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun had a smile on her lips, her pretty face was slightly red, and she looked at Zhu Di from top to bottom. After a while, she made sure that she was healthy and safe except for a little darkening, and then asked softly: You're back?

came back.

Between family members, there is no need to say a lot of words. A simple sentence can convey all the emotions.

Zhu Di smiled and nodded, Yeah!

Come in quickly, put your things down, and I'll get you water and wash up. Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but pull Zhu Di into the house.

Xu Miaoyin sat on the edge of the bed, shaking her legs, watching the two people come in, and asked teasingly: Do you want me to go out and avoid it?

Xu Miaoyun blushed and stared with a smile.

Then he hurriedly prepared hot water, soap locust, and towels for Zhu Di.

After washing.

Breakfast time.

Xu Miaoyin kept asking questions with her small mouth.

Ask about some things about the corvee service.

When he heard that Zhu Di had done corvee work and earned a lot of money, he gave a thumbs up in surprise: Brother-in-law, I told you before that I will definitely be very happy when I marry you.

Zhu Di smiled, and felt that his sister-in-law was more pleasing to his eyes, so he smiled and said, You have a lot of discernment.

Then did you bring me a gift? Xu Miaoyin spread her hands and watched eagerly.

This stumped Zhu Di.

He also didn't expect that Master Taishan would send his sister-in-law to accompany Miaoyun.

Honest said: I didn't bring you a special gift, but my brother-in-law bought cloth for your sister, and I promised to design clothes for your sister myself.

There must be some leftover fabric. When the time comes, how about using the scraps to make a set for you according to the style designed for your sister?

Use scraps?

Xu Miaoyun lowered her head to drink the porridge, tried her best to hold back her laughter, and glanced at Zhu Di quietly.

Sister, you don't care about your brother-in-law? Do you treat your benefactor like this? Xu Miaoyin complained coquettishly to Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun urged with a smile: You can't say anything when you eat, but you can't say anything when you sleep. Hurry up and eat!

Zhu Di smiled and warned: Don't be too full. I will cook grilled fish for you later to repay your benefactor, and then we will take you back to Jinling.

The space at home is small.

At this moment, my sister-in-law is too annoying.

Treat him well and send him home quickly.

Zhu Di was unprecedented and eager to build a big house.

Then I won't eat! After hearing this, Xu Miaoyin immediately put down her chopsticks, I want to save my stomach and eat grilled fish for one tael of silver each.

Brother-in-law, sister, you are sending me home this time. Will you go into the city? How many days will you stay at home?
