People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 336 Go to his mother's clan, the legendary Judy
cough cough.

Lao Zhu also knew that he did not behave properly in this matter, but rules are rules, and he also did it for the good of the children.

But his and Zhu Biao's behavior of going out of the palace without incident is actually not something that complies with the regulations.

But who made him the emperor?
If Zhu Di's eyes could speak, he would point to his nose and say that he only allowed state officials to set fires, but not the common people to light lamps.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but let the children out quickly.

"Yuchun, go get ready, I still say the same thing, pay attention to your body..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!
Although the body and bones of the minister are weak, it is not like before and can only be supported by others...

It is not a problem to train a few children! "

Chang Yuchun's eagerness to try made Zhu Yuanzhang silently pray for the children of Yingtianfu's heroes.

Prince, maybe Chang Yuchun will give some face, those sons of meritorious officials can't fart in front of Chang Yuchun.

When their father came, they had to avoid Chang Yuchun, let alone other people.

"You pick some recruits, mix veterans, and go with your brothers..."

Chang Yuchun sat for a while, and was just about to return from Empress Ma with the girl from the Chang family.

After the father and daughter left, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao behind him:

"It's good to be like this, the front line is tight, and none of my generals in Ming Dynasty have time to rectify the military affairs in the rear!

Although Li Shanchang manages logistics well, rectifying military affairs is not his forte!
Liu Ji, no, Zhang Yi is right.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion should get rid of the restraint of the Ministry of Education!

With Yuchun's current state, he can clear up the imperial court's rear military affairs, even if he really can't go to the battlefield, it's not a problem! "

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again when he said this:

"But his temperament is not really suitable for doing this!

If Xu Da or Wang Baobao sat in his position, he might do better! "

Zhu Biao rolled his eyes behind the emperor's back, his father really never forgets Wang Baobao.

Although he also admitted that that person was excellent, Zhu Biao always felt that something was wrong.

"Let Li Siqi persuade him to surrender, I hope it will be useful..."

……

Zhang Yi has been very busy recently, the main thing is to make the prototype of the whole Jenny textile machine.

He has the blueprints, but he doesn't intend to entrust others to do them directly. Instead, he splits the blueprints into different components, asks people to make them, and finally assembles them together.

With the help of Jin Yiwei in Huang's skin, and the channels he found, the matter was quickly arranged.

After implementing this matter, he relaxed again.

August……

There is still one or two months before the harvest of rice, and everything that should be done has been done, and he does not need to worry about it.

Liu Bowen may be afraid of being embarrassed when he meets Chang Yuchun recently, so he seldom comes to the Taoist temple to harass him.

As for Chang Yuchun, he is probably busy writing his military book at home.

Zhang Yi steals half a day's leisure, making Xiao Mengyao happy.

But I heard a voice from outside.

Not long after, Li secretly wiped tears with her big belly.

Zhang Yi felt strange and asked Meng Yao to inquire.

"People from the Meng family came to borrow money...

Said it was something in the clan, borrowed 800 taels of silver..."

Xiao Mengyao told Zhang Yi what she had heard, and she had a small face full of righteous indignation.

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Yi smiled, noncommittal.

He doesn't take 1000 taels of silver seriously, but it doesn't mean that ordinary people will look down on these money.

1000 taels of silver, two thousand shi of grain...

According to ordinary people, without the popularization of compound fertilizers such as Champa rice and manure pill, the yield per mu of land is only about 1.7 shi per mu.

Lao Meng only rented ten acres of land under his own hands before he was alive, and he harvested seventeen or eight shi a year. After deducting the landlord's rent, he barely left less than half.

Calculated in this way, the 1000 taels is wealth that Lao Meng's family could not accumulate in three lifetimes.
That is, very impressive.

This wealth fell into the hands of Li's orphans and widows, and those clan elders probably couldn't sleep at night.

In this era, women are outsiders, and Lao Meng has no males left behind. ,
According to the patriarchal system, the property left by Lao Meng should not be monopolized by the Li family.

Not only that, the clan elders could even occupy Lao Meng's house and drive the mother and daughter out.

But because of Zhang Yi and Xin Guo's government, these people did not dare to use such drastic means, but they were also reluctant to part with money, so they came to borrow money.

In fact, it was to use the power of the clan to force the Li family to hand over 800 taels.

Perhaps in the eyes of those people, leaving 200 taels for Li's mother and daughter,
It's all for the sake of the Xinguo government, which made their mother and daughter cheaper.

Zhang Yi looked at Meng Yao's pitiful appearance, and said with a smile:
"What are you afraid of, the money is not with me, they can't take it away..."

Zhang Yi also wanted to hand over the 1000 taels of silver to Mrs. Li.

He also asked Mrs. Li that if the other party needed to use the money to buy property and make a living with Meng Yao, Zhang Yi would fully support her.

It's just that Li Shi also sees it clearly, and bluntly said that if her orphans and widows go out, the 1000 taels of silver will only bring disaster to each other.

Instead of this, it is better to continue to be a servant of Zhang Yi.

Although he himself is only a child, Longhushan's reputation and Zhang Yi's own network are the biggest protection for the mother and daughter.

"Go, go see your mother!"

Zhang Yi took Xiao Mengyao's hand and came to the medicine garden.

At this time, Mrs. Li was already earnestly recording the data about the experimental field, as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness just now.

"Aunt Li, do you need me to withdraw money for you?"

Zhang Yi cut straight to the point and asked Mrs. Li.

Li Shi suddenly became flustered and embarrassed.

Zhang Yi waited quietly for her answer.

Although he has his own ideas, he will not be a good old man, helping others in everything.

If Li Shi is unwilling, as long as she and Meng Yao still live in this small courtyard, Zhang Yi will protect them.

But if Mrs. Li couldn't bear the pressure of the other party and insisted on handing over the money to solve the disaster, Zhang Yi would not force himself to come forward.

After a while, Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said:

"Little real man, I don't want to borrow the money, it's what Lao Meng left for the child in my womb..."

"What if the child is a girl?"

Zhang Yi asked again, Li Shi's face turned pale immediately, as if Zhang Yi had stripped down the last little fantasy left in his life.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said:
"If it's a girl, this 1000 taels of silver is also my daughter's dowry!
My husband married me, and was ridiculed and ridiculed by them. When the two of us depended on each other, we didn't see the elders of those clans come out to uphold justice.

Even, those people wanted to bully the women, and Lao Meng beat the son of the clan elder, and the relationship between the clan and our family has become even more alienated since then!

We've had a hard time over the years and they haven't helped a bit.

My husband sacrificed his life for bloody silver, why should they go for nothing..."

After being forced into a desperate situation by Zhang Yi, Li Shi finally said what she kept in her heart. She refused to accept, and she refused to accept the world, and she also refused to accept her own destiny.

Why should my fate be controlled by others if I can't give birth to a boy?
Those people didn't help themselves at all when they were in their infancy, but they wanted to take everything from themselves when they were helpless?
Li Shi looked at Meng Yao and touched her stomach again. As a mother, she must leave something for her children.

She raised her head again, looking at Zhang Yi with pleading eyes.

After getting along for this period of time, it was difficult for her to treat the child in front of her as an ordinary child.

Zhang Yi nodded when he heard the words:

"Since this is the case, no one can take away the money...

By the way, Auntie, I'm going to do business with Uncle Huang in a while, I wonder if you're interested? "

Mrs. Li was slightly surprised, Zhang Yi was not short of money at all, she had a deep understanding of this matter.

The 1000 taels of silver that I regard as my lifeblood have already been spent on Zhang Yi a lot...

Even if he wanted to do business with Mr. Huang, he wouldn't be short of money for her to invest in money, unless Zhang Yi deliberately reminded him...

"Master Little Landlord, even if you take all the money away, I don't have the slightest complaint. What's more, I understand that Master Little Landlord is giving my mother and daughter a chance. I voted for all the money..."

"Okay, let me tell you first, after the money is invested, you can't withdraw the shares within five years..."

"Row!"

Li Shi doesn't understand business matters, but she also understands that Zhang Yi will never harm herself. Compared with those Meng clans who cannibalize and don't spit out bones, Li Shi can still tell who treats her mother and daughter sincerely.

"Okay, Meng Yao, go grind it for me..."

Zhang Yi patted Meng Yao's head, and little Meng Yao walked up to her elbow and rubbed the ink obediently.

Zhang Yi picked up the brush and began to write a contract on the paper.

He wrote and introduced.

"His Majesty is now piloting commercial taxation in Zhejiang, and reforming industry and commerce...

Uncle Huang intends to go to Zhejiang to invest in a business, which is about opening cloth.

He promised Xiaodao that when the cloth shop opened, he would give Xiaodao a part of the shares.

It's just that Xiaodao thought about it, and his brothers settled accounts clearly. This business model is not appropriate.

So Xiaodao is going to buy shares with technology and some materials, and talk to my uncle about the shares. I will buy shares with textile machines and technology to participate in that business.

And my aunt will not cooperate directly with my uncle, but from my part of the shares, according to your capital contribution! "

After Zhang Yi explained, he asked:
"Auntie can understand, do you have any opinions?"

"I don't understand, but I trust the little landlord, the little landlord is the master!"

"That won't work, as I said just now, dear brother, you will settle accounts. So the necessary contract, no, you still need a contract. Auntie can take a look. If there is no problem, just sign it!"

When Mrs. Li saw it, the contract written by Zhang Yi was different from others, and it was in duplicate.

She took the deed and read it a little.

Regarding rights and obligations, Zhang Yi made it clear.

Li looked at this contract in a daze, she was just Zhang Yi's servant, but if she signed this agreement, to some extent, she and Zhang Yi would be on equal footing?

Which master in the world would give himself such an opportunity?

"I sign!"

Mrs. Li signed her name on the paper.

"Li Rufeng, this is the first time I know my aunt's name..."

When Zhang Yi read her name, Li was a little shy.

She herself has not remembered her own name for many years.

"Okay, auntie, keep the deed. From now on, whoever asks you for money, you can ask him to come to me!"

Zhang Yi carefully kept the contract, and smiled at Meng Yao's mother and daughter.

Although he felt sorry for the other party and wanted to drag their mother and daughter for Meng Yao's sake, but he could help others, but he couldn't be a source of resentment.

If the other party is a conscientious woman who is also afraid of the patriarchal clan and wavers, there is no need for Zhang Yi to put his hot face on his cold ass.

Fortunately, for Li Shiling's understanding, she has gone through all kinds of hardships and has her own resilience.

Help her by yourself, so that you don't violate your own heart.

Li's eyes are full of gratitude, and she also understands that if there is no Zhang Yi.

No matter how unwilling she is, she cannot disobey the patriarchal law.

Those people could break into her house and take away her property, even if she was an official, it would be useless.

To be protected by others, I should be grateful.

"Then Auntie can recover from her illness with peace of mind, I will teach you the ancient Buddha's secret art, can you practice it?

Tai Chi and so on, you should also study hard!
You are weak, but remember to exercise..."

"Yes, my little landlord!"

"Auntie, since you signed the contract, don't call me the landlord anymore, just call me Zhang Yi..."

"That's no good, one thing is another thing, don't I still manage the medicine garden for you?"

The two were courteous, but Zhang Yi didn't persuade Li Shi.

He smiled slightly, and returned to the Pure Mind:
"Old Mo, let's go to Chaotian Palace!"

Zhang Yi only thought of his father and elder brother after dealing with Li's affairs.

Zhang Normal lived in the capital for a while, and finally decided to return to Longhu Mountain.

Before leaving, he had to clear up the Taoist affairs in the capital, so he lived in Chaotian Palace for a while.

Zhang Yi thought that he would be fine recently, so it would be good to visit his father and play with his elder brother.

He got into the car driven by Lao Meng and slowly headed towards Chaotian Palace.

This time, as soon as he arrived at the door, he felt a different atmosphere.

There were guards at the gate of Chaotian Palace, and some of them were wearing the flying fish suit Zhang Yi was familiar with.

"Jinyiwei?"

Zhang Yi had long heard that Jin Yiwei appeared more than ten years earlier, but he couldn't help being excited when he really saw Jin Yiwei.

These bastards, no, these secret agents can also be regarded as one of the symbols of Ming Dynasty.

When Jin Yiwei saw Zhang Yi's car approaching slowly, he wanted to investigate, but when the Jin Yiwei saw Zhang Yi, his pupils shrank and he quickly lowered his head.

The guard originally wanted to check, but the other party had already made a move to let him go.

"Is there a nobleman coming?"

Zhang Yi was also slightly excited. To be able to dispatch Jinyiwei, someone must have come from the palace. Could it be that he could finally meet the legendary emperor.

He told Lao Mo to quicken his pace and enter Chaotian Palace.

Zhang Yi wanted to find his father and Deng Zhongxiu as soon as possible.

"Rebel, don't run away..."

He was walking halfway when he heard someone yelling, and when he turned his head, he found that his elder brother Zhang Yuchu was being chased.

The person chasing him was not very old, still wearing a small armor and holding a weapon in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi jumped up immediately, what's going on.

He didn't even think about it, rushed over, and kicked the man out while the two were not paying attention.

Damn!

That brat was kicked by Zhang Yigulu and cried out in pain.

"younger brother!"

Zhang Yu was dumbfounded at first, why did Zhang Yi suddenly appear here?

"Why are you here, no, His Royal Highness Fourth Prince, are you okay!"

Zhang Yuchu gave Zhang Yi a hard look, and hurried to help the child.

Zhang Yi was dumbfounded when he heard this:
"Wait, he's Judy?"

This meeting came unexpectedly.
