People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 304 Dare to let the emperor farm, the only one in the world

Avoid the limelight?

Zhang Yi glanced at Old Zhu in confusion, and Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Think about how many people you have offended and killed people in the street...

Do you really think you are lawless? "

Zhang Yi laughed when he heard the words, and was reminded by Huang He that he only remembered one thing, that is, to a certain extent, he almost offended everyone in the court who could be offended.

Not to mention Yang Xian, the conflict between Hu Weiyong and Chang Mao was almost equal to the Huaixi gang's offending him, plus the matter of Song Lian, um...

It's a bit of a headache indeed.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"Lao Mo taught you a little self-defense back then, but you were lucky enough to kill someone without even batting an eye.

You should thank Your Majesty, he directly settled the matter in the palace this time, otherwise, if you really went to Dali Temple, you would have to be skinned.

Are there not many people in this court who have thoughts about your family?
In my opinion, you'd better go back to Longhu Mountain to avoid the limelight. "

Zhang Yi shook his head:
"The more this is the case, the more I should stay in the capital.

The curious His Majesty should be looking at Xiaodao at this moment.

With him watching, other people would be wary.

If I really went somewhere, it might not take much effort for people to kill me! "

Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder also made Zhang Yi cautious.

Although when he killed someone, he had already made a plan, and there was a high probability that he would be able to escape.

But what this world lacks most is accidents. He was indeed impulsive this time, so he must think twice before acting in the future.

However, people are not sages, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Zhang Yi also didn't think his impulsiveness was a wrong behavior.

But he didn't want to explain these things, and Huang He's admonition was also out of kindness.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then fell into deep thought. Zhang Yi's words actually indirectly indicated that the order he established might not work well after leaving the capital.

The struggle for power between the local government and the central government is actually, to some extent, a battleground for the struggle between monarchy and power.

How to ensure that one's own government orders can be implemented is very important.

Another important thing is how to bypass the bureaucrats and landlords and gentry, and gain the hearts of the people.

"If you need help, feel free to talk to Uncle.

If I can help, I will.

But as someone who has been there, I still want to remind you.

It is actually very fair for His Majesty to handle it like this. The fairness you want is too far-fetched.

I advise you not to act impulsively, and in the end it will kill Longhu Mountain. "

Zhang Yi nodded silently, and Uncle Huang also saw the unwillingness in his heart...

He didn't explain anything. His promise to Li Shi was just to set a goal for himself, and he was not in a hurry to complete this goal.

"By the way, say something happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also showed joy when he thought of the memorial he received today:

"The land I bought in Beiping has been planted with the Champa rice you mentioned, it is indeed feasible...

Although it is not sure how the harvest will be, judging from the growth situation, the matter of planting rice in the north can be promoted!

Later, I plan to find a way to report this matter to the court..."

Rice can be grown in the north, and this event appeared on the land of China a hundred years in advance, which is indeed a joyful thing.

The depression in Zhang Yi's heart was also infected by Lao Zhu's joy.

Food is the most important thing for the people. In the farming society, the production of food is the cornerstone of everything.

Don't underestimate this change a hundred years in advance. Such a small change may change Daming Brother Guozuo.

"I'm going to step up my efforts and get more land...

If the capital moves to the north in the future, my Huang family will be regarded as a prominent local family! "

When Lao Zhu was talking here, he seemed to have forgotten that he was an emperor.

Others can't understand the pleasure of old peasants enclosing land.

"From now on, Uncle Huang will be Shen Wansan from Peking..."

Zhang Yi flattered Huang He a little bit, and Shen Wansan's family managed Zhouzhuang well, which was considered a good story in the Jiangnan business circle.

Speaking of Shen Wansan, Zhang Yi was still a little surprised. Has this guy's house been ransacked?
Zhang Yi was in the market, and the news was blocked.

However, the storm and bloody smell brought by the pirate case still blew to the capital.

This is a major case that has never appeared in history, and people die because of it every day.

When he went out, he could occasionally hear from the people in the market that someone was taken away and beheaded.

"Shen Wansan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also remembered this person. After the fat man was recruited by himself, he did provide him with a lot of information.

It's time to close the net...

Old Zhu was thoughtful, but smiled and said:
"By your auspicious words, the turmoil of the pirate case was only thanks to you for letting me stop the sea business early, and I arranged the business to the capital early, so I escaped the catastrophe..."

Zhang Yi glanced at Lao Zhu, thinking that this might not be as simple as what Uncle Huang said.

For this rather mysterious businessman, everything can be regarded as stepping on the rhythm of changing times.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the sky is full of blessings, but is it really just luck?
Not to mention anything else, he was able to set up business in the capital in advance, which is in line with the general trend of large immigration.

After the sea ban, many wealthy households are destined to be lonely.

If the sea trade in the Wu area is lost, it will not be able to support so many powerful landlords.

As the emperor moved the people, many wealthy households were destined to leave their hometowns.

He came in advance to respond to the layout of Tianfu, and he has already surpassed too many people.

"By the way, I forgot to water..."

The two were chatting, Zhang Yi suddenly remembered the rice in the medicine garden, and jumped up hastily.

"Lao Meng used to do all these jobs. He's gone, so I forgot..."

Zhang Yi said to himself, leaving the two of them behind and ran away. Those experimental fields are his destiny, so he can't slack off.

The rice in the experimental field does not need to be managed every day.

The problem is that it has been several days since Lao Meng weeded, fertilized and released water last time.

He left suddenly, and Zhang Yi could only do many things in the Taoist temple by himself.

Zhu's father and son followed Zhang Yi, but saw him skillfully manipulating tools.

It is not difficult to water the experimental field. Zhang Yi specially made a hand-operated water wheel, which can irrigate the water from the reservoir to the farmland.

Lao Zhu is no stranger to him being able to make weird tools.

He looked at the rice in the field, and Zhang Yi told him that there were ten varieties in it, all of which were rice seeds he had collected from various places.

Most people can't tell the difference without guidance.

Zhu Biao saw that it was difficult for Zhang Yi to shake the waterwheel, so he went to help, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and walked in the field.

He suddenly found weeds and pulled them out.

a little too much grass...

Apparently it has been a while since the old Meng couple weeded the grass last time.

Lao Zhu looked left and right, found a hoe, and started weeding.

He hasn't done this job for decades, and it was a little strange at first...

But as I was doing it, when I was young, the memory of opening up wasteland with my parents gradually came to my mind.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had only been farming for a few years.

His family died when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and it took him about three years to actually farm with his father.

But as he was doing it, an emotion called longing came to his heart, and the emperor didn't feel tired, he just worked hard to weed...

Zhang Yi on the other side turned his head, looked at Huang He skillfully wielding a hoe, and smiled.

However, a doubt flashed in his eyes immediately, why is Uncle Huang so proficient in farming?

This suspicion flashed across Zhang Yi's mind, so he stopped paying attention.

……

A carriage slowly approached Qingxin Temple.

At the gate of Qingxinguan, the school inspectors were on alert immediately, but when they saw that it was the carriage of Duke Xinguo's mansion, Ling, the leader, told them to put down their alert.

"It turned out to be the Duke's wife!"

Xie and Xu's siblings got out of the car, Ling said that he took the initiative to salute.

"The inspector Ling said that he has seen his wife."

"Are you the inspector?"

When Ling said that he had reported his family name, Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment.

Recently, the school is in court, but the trend is gradually turning from darkness to light.

The most iconic thing among them is the handling of the Changfu case today.

The emperor directly bypassed the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and chose to let the prosecutor come to arrest the person for interrogation...

Although the Xie family is a woman, but as the wife of the Duke, she also has her own sources of news.

It is self-evident who the guests in the Taoist temple are when the school is here.

"Master Ling, is it inconvenient?"

Mrs. Xie guessed that the emperor was in the Taoist temple, but he already had the intention of retreating.

She came to Qingxinguan just to care about Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi, a child, has kindness to the Xu family, and this time the Xu family was also involved because of his affairs.

The water in the court hall is very deep, although the child is protected by His Majesty the Emperor, Mrs. Xie would like to remind him one more thing.

It's just that there was a lot of talk in the Meng family just now, so it's not convenient for her to say something more?
But Xie found that he still underestimated the emperor's concern for Zhang Yi, and he came out of the palace immediately.

"Ma'am, if you know who's inside, then it's fine. Ms. Xu's family is a frequent visitor to the Taoist temple. Please let me know. You can go in by yourself..."

After Ling finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.

Mrs. Xie hesitated for a moment, but still took Xu's mother and daughter in.

She was in a nervous mood, for fear of disturbing the emperor, and the girl of the Xu family also saw her mother's hesitation, so she ran in first, using the child's advantage to find the way for Mrs. Xie.

"You kid, jog..."

Seeing her sister running away, Xu Yungong followed suit.

When Xie was in a hurry, he quickened his pace.

"Tao... priest... brother... brother..., we came to see you..."

Xu Yungong's milky voice spread in the backyard.

Across a small gate, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others on the side of the medicine garden put down their hoes.

The siblings ran very fast and passed the person who was going to report.

Xu's girl and Xu Yungong looked around and found someone in the medicine garden, so they hurried over.

It's just that when they saw the emperor, Xu Yungong's eyes widened and he was about to call out, but his sister covered his mouth and prevented him from speaking.

The girl from the Xu family looked nervously in front of her eyes, and when she found out the emperor's state, she was dumbfounded.

Not to mention her, even the inspector who notified them was dumbfounded.

Their emperor, His Majesty, had already taken off his outer robe at some point, and the hem of his clothes was also rolled up by him. The emperor was barefoot, holding a hoe in place.

What is His Majesty the Emperor doing?
Everyone was in a mess in the wind.

At this time, Xie was out of breath, and finally followed a few people. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was also dumbfounded.

What is Zhu Yuanzhang doing?
And His Royal Highness, he and Zhang Yi are squatting on the ground and pulling weeds...

There was a brief silence at the scene.

Until Zhang Yi jumped up and said:

"It turns out that you are here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other and laughed.

Old Zhu looked good, and bowed to Mrs. Xu:
"I've seen Mrs. Duchess!"

Xie's head was about to explode, she was afraid that this would be the case when she saw the emperor, if the emperor saluted her, she would not return even if she did not return.

In the end, Xie could only bite the bullet and returned a gift to the emperor.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm weeding. Uncle Huang saw that I couldn't do it alone, so he came to help..."

Xu's mother and son: ...

In today's world, dare to ask the emperor to weed you, this is probably the only one in the world.

Just looking at it, the Xu family's mother and daughter's feet are a little soft.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu saw their doubts and took the initiative to say:
"I used to do farm work when I was young, but I haven't done it for a long time, and it's fun to do it once in a while!
But Huang's appearance is not neat at this time, I'm afraid it's abrupt Madam, Madam might as well sit on the side first, when we finish the work at hand, it will be soon anyway..."

Give Mrs. Xie ten guts, she wouldn't dare to sit and wait for the emperor to work?

She looked at the rice seeds in the medicine garden, forced a smile and said:

"Mr. Huang is interested, and Mrs. Ben also remembered how she used to work with my husband...

If not, I'll help too..."

Zhu Biao: ...

Zhang Yi: ...

If they didn't know Xie's past, they would have believed in evil.

It is true that Xu Da was born in poverty, but Mrs. Xie is already his second wife.

When Xu Da married her, although everyone was still a rebel soldier, they gradually lived a better life.

But Mrs. Xie insisted on doing it, Zhang Yi couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.

The Xu family siblings, Xu Miaoyun gave some instructions in his younger brother's ear, and then began to help his mother with work.

So, the inspector who reported stood there alone, facing a once-in-a-lifetime scene.

In an unremarkable Taoist temple outside Yingtian City, the emperor and his wife are working for a little Taoist priest.

The school inspector wanted to help, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him with a look and let him go out.

Fortunately, there is really not much left to do, so it will be done in a while.

Mrs. Xie found that her clothes were a little dirty, so Zhang Yi asked Xu Yungong to take Mrs. Xie to his toilet to wash.

After a while, Mrs. Xie came back, and Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had already tidied up their appearance.

"Laughing!"

Mrs. Xie was still a little embarrassed. Women in this era are very strict in ethics. Strictly speaking, today, she is already a bit out of line.

She looked at the emperor cautiously, the king in front of her was very serious about women's virtues.

Especially last year, he issued a lot of bans on women such as not being able to remarry, which made people understand the emperor's tendencies even more.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not unhappy, and Xie was relieved.

"I haven't had a chance to thank my aunt well. I have the Duke's wife working for me today. I don't know if my little Taoist temple can bear this blessing?"

Xie replied meaningfully:
"You can stand it!"

You even dare to pull the emperor to farm, what is the lady of the country?
"Ha ha……"

Zhang Yi also casually said that he remembered what happened yesterday, and once again gave Mrs. Xie a big gift.
