Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 176: Daming People's Weekly Report!Lan Yu sent a big gift to Li Xiao!

"Master Junma, the last general has distributed all the rice seeds, and he has been escorted by soldiers for a while. The victims have almost made arrangements."

On the city wall of Changping County, Zhang Fu, the personal guard of the Yan army, cupped his hands and said.

During this period of time, Li Xiao was busy.

Once the warehouses were opened to release food, refugees from other places got the news and came from all directions.

So Li Xiao traveled to several counties with food for disaster relief.

After being busy for half a month, I finally got things done.

"Okay, since the disaster relief is over, let's go back to the house, and you lead the guards back to the house first." Li Xiao ordered.

"Yes, the last general is in command."

Zhang Fu cupped his hands, and immediately issued a military order to lead the soldiers back.

Seeing the back of Zhang Fu leaving, Li Xiao couldn't help feeling emotional.

Zhang Fu is about the same age as him, and his relationship with him has improved during this period of time.

In this disaster relief, the proper command of the soldiers made the disaster relief work so smooth.

He has great talent, Li Xiao thought about history.

Zhang Fu is indeed a famous general. He made a lot of contributions in the battle of Jingnan, and he also made achievements in the Yongle Dynasty. He followed King Yan many times to go deep into Mobei.

Moreover, Zhang Fu and himself are also considered relatives.

Zhang Fu's younger sister is the concubine of Yan Wang Zhu Di.

After all, Zhang Fusuan was also a foreign relative like himself, but it was useless because the relationship with the foreign relatives was not reused. On the contrary, he was named the Duke of the State.

In the later orthodox years, Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne and favored Wang Zhen. The only one who dared to oppose Wang Zhen in the court was Zhang Fu who was loyal to Daming.

But at that time, he was already old, and finally he was surrounded by Wala in the Battle of Tumubao, and the whole army was annihilated and died among the rebellious army.

A generation of famous generals, the Duke of Ming Dynasty, died aggrieved like this.

"Don't worry Zhang Fu, with me here, I will definitely not let that idiot Zhu Qizhen ascend the throne."

Li Xiao said silently in his heart.

At this time, Li Xiongzhi came over, cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, the matter is settled."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, "How many people have you recruited?"

During this disaster relief, Li Xiao discovered that there were still many poor people who were originally tenants, without land, and were destitute. These people had little desire to return home.

In their hometown, there is no tile on the top and no place to stand on the bottom.

It is not laziness. Sometimes hard work will not change destiny. When encountering turbulent events, a self-cultivating farmer can be reduced to a tenant who works for the landlord's family.

So, Li Xiao asked Li Xiongzhi to secretly look for some healthy and honest victims among the victims to take them in for his own use.

What was most important in ancient times?

Of course it is the population, the labor force!
Someone has everything!
Naturally, Li Xiao also offered good conditions, such as assigning a wife if he did a good job, as well as treatment and so on.

Dividing wives is true. There are more than 600 girls waiting to be married in my farm, that is, the Yangzhou skinny horse snatched from Lan Yu's son.

Such conditions are extremely tempting.

Therefore, even if they become domestic slaves, many people are willing to come here.

Li Xiongzhi clasped his hands and said, "Patriarch, more than five hundred strong men have been recruited, and all of them have signed the adoption agreement for you and entered your name."

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang strictly prohibited the slave trade.

But there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

The following people can use the name of adoption to adopt a son.

Although they are adopted sons in name, these people cannot be called Li Xiao's adoptive fathers, because they just put their native places under Li Xiao's body.

Li Xiao signed an adoption agreement, so he is actually a domestic slave.

For those who could not survive, being a house slave was disgraceful, but it was also beneficial.

That means no tax.

You don't have to pay a penny of tax, just follow the master to make a living.

Once you become a house slave, you will be a house slave from generation to generation, and your children and grandchildren will all belong to the Li family.

In fact, Li Xiao resisted this kind of behavior at first.

feel corrupt
But later he found that as long as he fed them and clothed them, they lived well, at least better than they did before.

Every time I met Li Xiao, I showed a very grateful expression.

In fact, those who are poor and destitute, they are willing to become domestic slaves when they meet a good master.

The tree is big enough to enjoy the shade, and no one dares to bully it casually if someone covers it outside.

Those house slaves of King Yan's Mansion went down to the county town, and the officials in the county would all be polite.

Most people resist becoming domestic slaves because they are afraid that meeting their masters will make them feel bad and squeeze them to death.

After figuring this out, Li Xiao didn't resist this kind of behavior.

After all, I can't change this system by myself, and what he does is very humane, and those who follow him can eat and clothe themselves.

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Li Xiongzhi, you did a good job. This group of people will be raised in the house for the time being. I will be useful later."

Li Xiongzhi is Li Xiao's right-hand man, and Li Xiao also bought a house to use as a warehouse for Li Xiongzhi to take care of. The house can also be used by Li Kefang as a workshop for making essential oils.

It can also be used as a temporary warehouse at ordinary times.

For example, now, you can be a temporary hotel host.

To recruit a group of domestic slaves, you can try to do many things.

In addition, a group of dead soldiers can be selected from them, that is, the kind who serve their lives.

Although I don't know if it can be used, but if it can't.

Li Xiongzhi nodded: "Yes. I will arrange it properly, the Patriarch can rest assured."

Li Xiao asked: "Did Liu Dakai and the others recover from their injuries last time?"

Liu Dakai was the last time he was in Yanshan, helping to protect Yanshan with his life, and was beaten half to death by a group of people. Those people have some skills in their hands and feet, and they are loyal and can be used.

Since he became the head of the family, Li Xiao has seen that people pay more attention to it. Anyone who can use it and reuse it must have a spectrum in mind.

Li Xiongzhi said: "Thanks to the care of the Patriarch, the few of them have almost recovered from their injuries."

Li Xiao thought for a while, since he is fine now, he went to see them, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take me to have a look."

Soon.

Li Xiao and Li Xiongzhi rode fast horses to Li Xiao's other house in Beiping.

After entering the house, Li Xiongzhi immediately summoned the five hundred strong men and farmers to meet the master. They have become domestic slaves and have not seen their master yet.

These people gathered together, obviously a little nervous.

Although what Li Xiongzhi said was very good, who knows what kind of person the Patriarch is, if he desperately squeezes them, he will suffer for the rest of his life.

However, during this time, they lived in the house for a few days, and found that they had porridge to drink, white flour steamed buns to eat, and new clothes to wear every day, so they were very happy.

"Everyone, this is your Patriarch. Let you all understand that Patriarch Li is the son-in-law of His Royal Highness King Yan and the Viscount of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Xiongzhi introduced it loudly.

Hearing this, the five hundred family members all looked shocked, knelt down and kowtowed, "I have met the Patriarch."

I really didn't expect that the head of the family had such a big background.

I thought it was a gentry family, but I didn't expect it to be a relative of the emperor!
Some of them secretly raised their heads to look at Li Xiao, and found that he was a young man with a very kind face, and many of them had lost half of the stone in their hearts.

Li Xiongzhi went on to say loudly: "The head of the family is kind and kind. You guys will work hard with the family and ensure that you eat and drink well. Good days are to come. But some people dare to steal and play tricks, hehe. I don't need to say more about the end."

Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground respectfully, not daring to raise their heads.

Li Xiao laughed: "Okay, everyone, get up, your body has also been injured during the time of fleeing famine, so I don't need you to do things for now, let's take care of your bones in this house."

"Thank you, Patriarch."

Everyone was grateful, but no one dared to get up.

Li Xiao smiled, then turned his head and walked to the inner room.

It's almost enough for these people to meet and show their faces.

After Li Xiao left for a long time, these people slowly got up, and everyone looked at each other, obviously there were some smiles on their faces.

“I feel that the owner of this house is nice”

"Yeah, as long as we work hard, we can live a good life."

"Great, I don't have any land in my hometown, so it's not bad to hang out with Lord Viscount."

Most of these people live in poverty, but now they have food and drink, and they meet a good family master, so they feel that being a house slave is also a good choice
"You said, we've been raising it for so long, shouldn't it be time to do something?"

"Yes, I don't do anything here every day, and I feel very sorry."

"I think so too, our master is really nice"

In a room, Liu Dakai and others were resting on the bed tied with cloth strips.

Ever since Yanshan was beaten half to death, they were arranged by Li Xiao to recuperate here. As the days went by, they felt a little guilty.

creak-

The door was pushed open.

Li Xiongzhi walked over with a laugh: "Liu Dakai, look who has come to see you."

I saw Li Xiao walking in with a basket of fruit and smiling.

Liu Dakai and the others looked up, and it turned out that the head of the family came to see them in person, and they were immediately grateful.

"Patriarch. How did this happen? How can you trouble the Patriarch to come and visit us in person?"

Liu Dakai and the others immediately stood up, wanting to kneel down to thank them.

They are just little people.

And the head of the family is the son-in-law of King Yan, the Viscount of Daming, what a noble status?
The gap between the two is worlds apart.

They were unable to get along along the coast, and came to Peiping through wandering. After meeting Li Xiao, they were finally able to make a living, but they were not satisfied. They were injured by villagers and they ate and drank for nothing for several months.

So when Li Xiao came to visit them in person, his mood was extremely strong, flattered, even panicked.

"You have not recovered from your injuries, so don't kneel down."

Li Xiao put the fruit aside, then went to help it up.

"Patriarch, we are ready long ago, you see."

Liu Dakai insisted on kneeling, as he spoke, he threw the cloth cover covering the wound aside, and knelt down anyway.

"Patriarch, you think so highly of us, we will fight for you in the future, go through life and death, and serve our lives!" Liu Dakai half knelt on the ground, showing his loyalty.

Liu Dakai was retired from the army, and he has such a strong spirit. In addition, Li Xiao has nothing to say to them. This time he came to see them in person, and he was really touched.

These people are very simple, as long as they are treated sincerely, they can feel it.

Several other people also knelt on the ground: "We are also willing to die for the Patriarch!"

Ah this
Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, he really planned to select a batch of dead soldiers, but he didn't expect to have them so soon.

"Get up quickly, don't kneel down."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "I'm a decent person, why do you ask me to do my best? Just help me with my affairs with peace of mind."

That's right.

But Li Xiao knew that once they got their place, they would definitely go there.

There is another level between the doomed person and the ordinary house slave.

Ordinary domestic slaves do things with their own lives as the top priority no matter what.

A dead soldier who can do his best will not consider his life. Even if things go wrong, he will choose to commit suicide, and he will not reveal the matter and implicate his master.

"Homeowner."

Liu Dakai's eyes were red, but he still got serious, and smiled naively, "We can't talk, don't blame us."

"How can I blame you?"

Li Xiao laughed and said: "You were desperately guarding the mine for me, I remember that, okay, I'll come and see you, you take care of your wounds."

Liu Dakai was anxious, and said: "Patriarch, we don't need to take care of our injuries, you can arrange something for us to do, otherwise we will be bored if we stay in this small room every day."

"Yes, Patriarch, we can move and do things now."

Several other people also begged.

They are all restless people, and it is really uncomfortable to be idle every day, eating and drinking for free.

"Are you okay?" Li Xiao asked.

"It's really good, look." Liu Dakai moved his body deliberately.

"That's fine."

Li Xiao nodded, "You guys are considered my confidantes, and you are still recuperating in my mansion for the time being, but there is something I need you to do."

Li Xiao pointed to the outside, and said: "Although the five hundred people outside have been selected, they are mixed, you go to manage them, and then screen them secretly. Those who are not good will be eliminated, and those who can be used will be kept. It’s also up to you, I have something important to tell you.”

"Yes, Patriarch! We will definitely get things done."

Liu Dakai and others were very excited when they got the important task.

Managing hundreds of people is a big job!

As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places.

Even if they are both domestic slaves, their status is different.

For example, Li Xiongzhi, who followed Li Xiao the first time, had the highest status in the Li residence. When he walked in the outer county town, the county magistrate would be very polite when he saw him.

They naturally hope to climb up and get reused.

"Okay, that's it. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Li Xiao smiled and said, then Li Xiongzhi followed behind and sent him away.

After Li Xiao left,
Liu Dakai and the others were very excited.

"Great, now that we are reused by the Patriarch, we have to work hard."

"Yeah, we must not disappoint the Patriarch's expectations."

"I think we can create a booklet to record the temperament, physique and age of those people outside"

Liu Dakai still has some ability. After Li Xiao explained the matter, they have already started discussing how to do things well.
When Li Xiao returned to the Li Mansion, it was already dark.

After returning to the main house, Zhu Ningyun greeted him and undressed Li Xiao.

He said distressedly: "It's been a busy day again, my husband must be exhausted."

Zhu Ningyun put up her black hair today, inserted two lightly carved plum blossom hairpins into the bun, and inserted the engraved golden step plate, earlobe Qiaodie play dream chain, double temples with black silk on her chest, and jade wrists with double flower jade bracelets .

Since Zhu Ningyun regained her appearance and became the mistress of the Li Mansion again, her dressing style has also changed a little, showing a little grace and luxury, showing compliance.

Li Xiao naturally likes it more and more, the lady has a gentle temperament, fair skin and beautiful appearance, and it makes people feel very comfortable after watching it every day.

boo~
Li Xiao grabbed her and kissed her hard.

Zhu Ningyun's pink face flushed slightly, she bowed her head shyly, looking extremely happy.

"I haven't returned home for three days, and my heart is empty. I always feel that something is missing."

Li Xiao sighed.

Zhu Ningyun hurriedly said: "Husband, I love you."

Li Xiao took her hand and looked at her affectionately, "Madam, I love you."

【Ding!You and Zhu Ningyun talked love words to each other, they were connected with each other, and both of you were very happy.Get sweet points: 50 points.Trigger 50 times crit, get sweet points: 2500 points. 】

Afterwards, Li Xiao saw the character life + 1 day on his and Ning Yun's heads.

This needs to be said every day, every day, and both parties can speak together to be effective.

According to the truth, as long as the two of them talk every day, they can live forever.

obviously persisted for so long
But when I was busy during this time, I didn't go back to my home, and I didn't say anything for three days.

In other words, their lifespan has passed three days.

Now their age has become zero three days.

This point, Li Xiao can't accept it, absolutely can't grow old.
It seems that it is better to stick together every day.

Otherwise, slowly, you will get old!
"Husband, you are hungry, I have prepared meals for you."

As she said that, Zhu Ningyun dragged Li Xiao to the dining table, but some dishes were already cold, so she ordered Zhang Cuicui to ask someone to heat up the dishes.

"Don't heat it up, just eat whatever you want."

Li Xiao was not so particular about it, he was very hungry and started to eat.

Zhu Ningyun waved her hand, telling Cui Cui not to go.

"Ma'am, let's eat together."

Li Xiao waved his chopsticks, and then found that Ning Yun seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "Ning Yun, what's the matter?"

Zhu Ningyun hesitated to speak, then looked at Zhang Cuicui next to her, and said, "Husband, Zhang Cuicui has been with me for many years."

Li Xiao understood as soon as he heard it.

Zhang Cuicui is Zhu Ningyun's confidant maid. Although Zhang Cuicui didn't mention it, she could see from her expression that she also wanted to restore her appearance like the princess.

Ningyun is kind-hearted and hopes that Zhang Cuicui can recover.

Li Xiao looked up, but Zhang Cuicui lowered her head, not daring to look over.

But in my heart I was a little excited.

The princess is so kind to herself, she actually raised it for herself.

This made Li Xiao a little bit troubled, he recovered with the props from the system gift package, and such props were gone.

"Cui Cui, it's like this. The princess's appearance uses a strange medicine in it. This medicine is very rare. It's called Immortal Grass. So far I have only found one plant. But I promise, as soon as I find it, I will give it to you immediately." You heal."

Li Xiao did not cut off Zhang Cuicui's hope all at once, but gave her a little hope so as not to lose hope in life.

"The slaves don't dare to think too much, as long as they can serve the Patriarch and the Princess, the slaves will be satisfied."

Zhang Cuicui knelt on the ground excitedly, she didn't expect to recover, she was used to this kind of life, and Li Xiao gave her a glimmer of hope.

"This is an anti-scar ointment. If you try it, it is not guaranteed to be effective, but it should be able to relieve it."

Li Xiao's heart also softened, and he took out the scar removal ointment from his body.

Produced by the system, it cost 1000 points to get.

After binding Ningyun, there will be [-] times the points crit, plus he and Ningyun have a very good relationship, there are too many points to use up, and the daily mall is basically emptied directly.

He now has a lot of messy things in the system warehouse, everything.

It is not uncommon to have scar cream.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhang Cuicui was very excited, and it would be nice to be able to relax a bit. She took it, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Xiaolang, you are so kind."

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ningyun was also very happy.

Husband seems to be omnipotent, always able to come up with something new.

"Small thing."

Li Xiao smiled and waved his hands.

"That's right, my lord."

While eating, Zhu Ningyun asked: "I have already sent someone to buy a paper-making workshop and a printing workshop. Husband, do you want to sell books?"

That's right, during this period of time, it was useful for Li Xiao to let Zhu Ningyun buy papermaking and printing workshops. As for the usefulness, he gave Ningyun a pass.

"It's not about selling books."

Li Xiao said with a smile, and thoughtfully put a piece of meat into Ningyun's bowl.

Zhu Ningyun was a little puzzled: "It's a paper workshop and a printing workshop. It doesn't sell books. What do they sell?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Sell newspapers."

Zhu Ningyun: "???"

Li Xiao explained: "Selling newspapers, I want to set up the first newspaper office in Ming Dynasty!"

What is missing most in this era?
What is most lacking is, of course, the exchange of information.

People can only pass on information by word of mouth, how blocked, it is not conducive to development, not conducive to economic development!
Of course, when Li Xiao founded a newspaper, it must not be said to circulate various news from the country at the beginning, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely jump up and chop off his head.

He planned to start with an entertainment newspaper first, so that the public would be familiar with it.

It will slowly develop into a newspaper, and when my father-in-law ascends the throne nine years later to become Emperor Yongle, it is estimated that the newspaper will mature and can be used to control the country's public opinion.

In fact, newspapers have long been needed in ancient times, but they were only circulated by officials and not by ordinary people, so they were called mansion newspapers.

But it is not considered a newspaper. It mainly records relevant political information such as court events.

"What is a newspaper?"

Zhu Ningyun guessed: "Is it similar to the mansion newspaper circulated in the government?"

"Yes and no."

Li Xiao explained: "The newspaper I want to create is to be passed on among the people."

The [-] people recruited before were planning to sell newspapers in various places.

Zhu Ningyun worried: "Will the newspaper be a bit presumptuous?"

"will not."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Our newspaper doesn't keep track of local affairs, we first publish some serialized stories to promote it."

"A story from a storybook."

Zhu Ningyun was pleasantly surprised: "I see, Xiaolang's The Legend of the White Snake and Dream of the Red Chamber are both excellent stories. Many people will definitely buy them. It's really a good way to make money."

Li Xiao didn't want to make money by selling newspapers, but for something else.

However, he didn't displease Madam, nodded and said: "Madam is smart, the Legend of the White Snake can indeed be passed on, but the Dream of the Red Mansions does not matter, there are some reflections. However, I have a better story to tell."

After speaking, Li Xiao took out a few books from his body, "Madam, please read. This is the book we will publish."

On the table are all novels bought from Li Xiao's system.

A copy of 2000 points, high quality and low price.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", "Swordsman".
These days, the spiritual life of ordinary people is too scarce.

The book is also very boring to read.

As for Li Xiao, these are all examples of the cool writing of Mr. Jin's masterpiece!

It's time to give Daming some cool shock!
Serial newspapers, supported by these novels, will you still worry about sales? ?
However, Li Xiao didn't dare to show "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", because Yi Tian Tu Long Ji is based on the background of Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

Taking Zhang Wuji's growth as a clue, it narrates all kinds of grievances and hatreds in the world.

It parallels the rise and fall of the Yuan Dynasty in Chinese history with morality, grievances and enmities.

It expresses the idea of ​​opposing foreign aggression and tyranny of the nation.

This thing may lose its head
"My God, there are so many scripts, are they all written by you, my husband?"

Zhu Ningyun asked in surprise.

I don't have that much free time, I can't write that much! Li Xiao smiled awkwardly and said:
"I didn't write it. It was written by a senior of mine named Jin Yong. He entrusted it to me and let me pass it down through the ages instead of him."

"Well."

Zhu Ningyun's eyes lit up, and she opened it. It was the first time she read this kind of novel, she was very curious. The vernacular is easier to read than the classical Chinese, and she was fascinated by it after a while.

"Okay ma'am, although the book is good, you can't neglect your husband."

If you are full of wine and food, that's what you should do.
Zhu Ningyun lowered her head and smiled shyly, then put down the notebook in her hand.

"Husband, you are tired too, it's time to rest."

Late at night
Cheerful people enjoy the beauty of the world.

until night,

It was also because Li Xiao was really tired during this time.

After one time, it is already Zishi.

Both of them fell asleep from exhaustion.

Everything is at peace.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a group of people in night clothes secretly came outside Li Xiao's room.

I don't know how to bypass the guard's patrol and sneak into the mansion secretly.

This group of people is none other than the dead soldiers sent by Sapphire!
Come and get Li Xiao's head!

Lan Nao'er, the son of Lan Yu killed by Li Xiao, was beheaded, and Lan Yu always held a grudge in her heart.

He didn't dare to touch King Yan, so couldn't he touch a little son-in-law?
This is Sapphire, a great gift to King Yan!
This group of people had been lurking in Beiping for a month. The news of the distribution of military rations in Beiping was also secretly inquired by them and passed to Lan Yu.

At this time, one of the leaders took out a bamboo pipe from his body.

"Upside down the smoke, lose the soul, Li Xiao. You just wait to die."

He inserted the window paper and blew smoke.

As long as he is fascinated by the smoke, he can kill Li Xiao and get away with it!

Blowing and blowing, suddenly a very loud sound resounded, resounding throughout the Li Mansion, especially harsh in the dark night!
The faces of the men in black and the rest of them have changed. What's going on?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa—

This is the 'smoke detector' that Li Xiao installed in the room played a role.

Li Xiao knew that his daughter-in-law was disfigured by the fire, so he paid more attention to the fire. When he moved to Li's residence, he installed a smoke detector purchased from the system.

Prevent the tragedy from happening again!

After all, there was no fire alarm 119 in ancient times, and it was very useful to put out fires!

The ear-piercing sound suddenly sounded in the quiet environment.

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun were woken up immediately.

"What's the matter, husband."

Zhu Ningyun was startled.

Li Xiao hurriedly got up and said, "It's not good, get up quickly, it's time to get out of the water!"

And outside the door.

Chang Yingwu, a hundred guards who heard the noise, came frantically with the guards and buckets, only to see a group of men in black sneaking around and fleeing.

He immediately threw away the bucket, pulled it out, and shouted:
"Not good! There are assassins! Catch the assassins!!"
