Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

"If you want to stop those chieftains from becoming too powerful, there is only one way."

"any solution?"

"Reform the land and return it to the people!"

"Return to the native land?"

"what for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying in confusion.

"To put it simply, it means abolishing the chieftain system and their hereditary system."

"Instead, the government will appoint officials to take direct charge of the administration, and implement the same local administrative system as inland areas."

"Appoint officials with fixed terms and who can be transferred to carry out tasks such as checking household registration, measuring land, and verifying taxes."

"..."

Zhu Xiongying told Zhu Yuanzhang and the other man all the details of the policy of changing the native system to Han Chinese.

"To change the flow, the best strategy is to capture them by trickery, the worst strategy is to suppress them by force, the best strategy is to force them to surrender, the worst strategy is to order them to surrender by imperial decree."

"The appropriate approach should be to use both kindness and severity."

"This plan can strengthen the court's rule over the border areas, reduce rebellion, and be more conducive to the economic development of the southwest."

"It can also break the ban on barbarians leaving the village and Han people entering the country, promote exchanges between ethnic groups, and strengthen national cohesion."

After listening to Zhu Xiongying's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang and the other man nodded.

"Father, this is a good idea!"

"And I think there are more benefits than these. I think it is feasible."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this.

"You said so much, little brat. How should we implement it specifically?"

"As for the chieftains themselves, we will treat them differently depending on their attitudes."

"Those who voluntarily hand in their seals will be rewarded, either with hereditary posts or current military posts."

"Those who resist will be punished, their property will be confiscated, and they will be relocated to other provinces and given land and houses to live in."

"At the same time, prefectures, counties and guard posts were established..."

"..."

Zhu Xiongying said out everything he could think of.

"Yeah! Not bad, not bad!"

"You are really talented!"

"You can think of such a method, not bad!"

"It can't be our old Zhu's grandson, hahaha..."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud. Who wouldn't be happy to have such an outstanding grandson?
"That's it?"

"Yes! It's settled!"

"We'll announce it at the court meeting tomorrow!"

"That's nothing, I'm leaving now!"

As he stood up and wanted to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed him.

"and many more!"

"Anything else?"

"The Ministry of Rites has chosen an auspicious day. You should get married now."

"What's the matter?"

"Wedding?"

"How old am I?"

"You're an adult now, how old are you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"adult?"

"No!"

"How come not? You're already sixteen!"

"Isn't he an adult at eighteen?"

Zhu Xiongying: (O)
"Who told you that, little brat?"

"Da Ming becomes an adult at the age of sixteen."

Zhu Xiongying was stunned.

A head full of question marks???????????
is it?

Did Daming become an adult at the age of sixteen?

My thoughts are still stuck in the 21st century, but as a young person in the 21st century, how could I get married so early?
Looks like I have to run away!
"Uh……"

"Hehehe..."

"Go, go, go!"

"I see!"

"Then I'll leave first!"

"get out!"

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly ran out of the imperial study, but before he had taken a few steps, he found someone following him.

"Jiang Li, what the hell are you doing following me?"

Zhu Xiongying was puzzled.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered me not to leave your side until your wedding day, not even a step away."

Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly.

Old Zhu thought ahead of him, he was afraid that he would run away!

"Jiang Li, do you think you can stop me if I want to leave?"

"Your Highness, I cannot stop you, but I will not leave you even a step."

Zhu Xiongying: "..."

It won't stop you, but it will follow you. What's the difference between this and installing a surveillance camera next to you?
"Damn old Zhutou!"

"Wait for me!"

Zhu Xiongying had no choice but to turn around and go back to the East Palace!
............................................................

East Palace!

Zhu Xiongying hurried to see Wang Lin, played with him for a while, and then turned and left the palace.

Went to the headquarters of the Wanima Group!

"Your Highness, are you back?"

Ning Juncai saw Zhu Xiongying coming back and immediately responded.

"Xiao Lin, play here for a while!"

"Brother, you'll be right back!"

"it is good!"

Little Wang Lin nodded.

"Send someone to take care of it!"

Ning Juncai nodded and immediately sent someone to look after little Wang Lin.

........................

In the chairman's office!

"Lao Ning, how is the group's business recently?"

"Your Highness, the group's business is booming!"

"We now have branches in many places across the country, and we are making a fortune every day!"

Ning Juncai smiled and immediately presented the financial statements.

"That's good!"

Zhu Xiongying immediately opened the report and began to read it while listening to Ning Juncai's report.

I don't know how much time passed, but there was a hurried knock on the door.

"General Manager, something bad has happened, General Manager!"

Zhu Xiongying and Ning Juncai frowned slightly.

"What?"

"Are you blind?"

"Can't you see I'm reporting to the chairman?"

Ning Juncai opened the door and immediately started scolding the person who came.

"OK OK!"

"never mind!"

"what's up?"

"Chairman, the young master just now is gone!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiongying stood up immediately, frowning?
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?"

"Why is it missing?"

"I... just now Old Chen asked me to help him move some things, so I let the young master play in the store by himself."

"Who knew that when I was done and came out, the person was gone."

The man lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhu Xiongying.

"Bastard!"

"It's true that more success than failure leads to failure!"

"Have you searched the store yet?"

Ning Juncai was immediately furious. The person that Zhu Xiongying brought personally must be someone extraordinary.

And just now I heard him calling Zhu Xiongying "Big Brother", so doesn't that mean he is the Crown Prince's son?

When he thought of this, Ning Juncai broke out in a cold sweat.

"I have looked everywhere, but I can't find the young master."

"We also sent people to the streets to look for it!"

Zhu Xiongying's face became extremely gloomy when he heard this.

"Yuan Tiangang!"

"exist!"

"Go find it!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Tiangang's figure immediately disappeared from the spot, and Zhu Xiongying stared at the man with his eyes fixed.

"Ning Juncai!"

"exist!"

"Kill him!"

"Your Highness..."

Ning Juncai looked at Zhu Xiongying in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, the man knelt down in fear.

"Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Highness..."

"I didn't mean it. Please have mercy on me, Your Highness!"

dong dong dong...

He was so scared that he kowtowed continuously, like pounding garlic!
"Can't you hear me?"

Zhu Xiongying turned his head and looked at Ning Juncai. Ning Juncai's heart skipped a beat. That look seemed to devour him.

Very scary...

He was full of murderous intent. If Ning Juncai dared to beg for mercy, he would probably feel bad.

"Yes Yes……"

"Someone take him away, Shentang..."

Two big men immediately took him away! "Your Highness, don't worry, the young master will be fine."

Zhu Xiongying had a gloomy face and did not speak, but sat in his seat without saying a word.

Ning Juncai, who was standing aside, kept praying in his heart that little Wang Lin was okay, otherwise the capital would be in for a bloody storm!

Time passed little by little, and I don’t know how long it had been before Yuan Tiangang came back!
"Your Highness!"

"how?"

Zhu Xiongying stood up quickly.

"He was taken away!"

"He was taken out of the city!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying's face suddenly became even gloomier.

"court death!"

"go!"

He hurried out.

"It's over!"

"Someone is going to get into trouble again."

"You're really blind!"

"Why did you have to mess with His Highness when you can mess with anyone else? Aren't you tired of living?"

Ning Juncai couldn't help but shook his head as he looked at Zhu Xiongying's departing back.

............................................................

In a remote corner outside the city, there is a thatched hut!

"Third brother, come here!"

"hey-hey……"

"What's up, boss?"

Snapped……

A big slap in the face!

"Boss, why did you hit me?"

A big man covered his face and looked at his boss aggrievedly.

"Are you looking for death?"

"How many times have I told you not to kidnap the children of the rich and powerful? Why didn't you listen?"

"The one you brought back was wearing all kinds of silk and satin. He must be a child from a wealthy family."

"You want to kill us?"

The scarred man who was leading the group was furious.

"Boss, don't be angry!"

"There are so many people there, we won't be discovered."

"Besides, now that we have brought them back, there is no way we can send them back."

"Calm down!"

Others hurriedly advised!
"I'm telling you, if you do it again, I'll chop you up."

"You're going to kill us, you know that?"

"I know, boss!"

The big man said aggrievedly!

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"We can't stay here any longer. We have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be bad if we are discovered."

"Leave? Boss, this place is so remote, they won't be able to find us."

Snapped……

Another slap in the face.

"idiot!"

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"The child you brought back is most likely the child of an official. If they find something wrong."

"By then, even if we want to leave, we won't be able to."

"Boss, what about the kid in the cellar?"

Hearing this, Scar lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Kill them all!"

"Ah? Kill them all?"

"Boss, we spent months trying to get this. Isn't it a pity to kill them all?"

"If I don't kill you, are you going to take him with you on the road?"

"With so many of them, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the soldiers along the way?"

"They are just a burden. If we keep them with us, we will die faster. There is no need to feel sorry for them. As long as we are still alive, we will not be afraid of not being able to get them."

"Do not worry!"

"This time I'll just do it for nothing!"

Hearing this, everyone was helpless.

"Third brother, it's all your damn fault!"

"That's great. We've worked for several months in vain!"

"I...I...sigh..."

"Alright, alright!"

"Stop talking. It's already come to this point. There's no point in saying more."

Then he took out a small bottle!

"This is arsenic. Mix it in their food and feed them. Third brother, you go!"

"Huh? Why me?"

"Of course it's you!"

"If it weren't for you, would we need this?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly!"

"After we're done, we'll leave when it gets dark!"

"hurry up!"

"understand!"

The third brother took the arsenic and was about to go to work when he heard some noise outside.

"Boss, what's going on?"

"Could it be that the soldiers are coming?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was so scared that they hid under the table.

"A bunch of trash, what are you afraid of?"

As he spoke, Scar quietly came to the window, opened a crack, and saw that the outside was surrounded by a large number of bad guys.

He was so scared that he quickly shrank back!

"Brother, are you a soldier?"

"I don't know! I've never seen their costumes, they should be!"

"Then...what should we do?"

"us……"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xiongying's voice was heard outside.

"Listen up everyone inside, come out with your hands over your heads. You have been surrounded, and there is no way out."

"You have no choice but to surrender. Otherwise, don't worry about my cruelty."

Zhu Xiongying looked at the thatched hut in front of him with an expressionless face.

"Brother, what should we do?"

"Or we can fight them!"

As he said that, the man called Lao San was about to stand up and rush out, but was held down by Scar.

"Do not impulse!"

"Will you die if you use your fucking brain?"

Scar said unhappily.

"Then what do we do?"

"They are soldiers, we have hostages, and there are so many children. I don't believe they dare to do anything wrong."

"Yeah!"

"Boss is right, why didn't I think of that?"

"What can you think of?"

Scar said unhappily.

"Listen everyone outside. We have more than 30 children here. If you don't want them to get hurt, you'd better make way for me."

"Otherwise, the worst that can happen is that both sides will perish together!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying sneered.

Is this a threat?

"You bastard, I never knew what compromise is."

"Do it!"

At Zhu Xiongying's command, several figures suddenly jumped down from the roof, and Scar and the others were immediately horrified.

After a burst of swords and swords!
Except for Scar, everyone else became a warm corpse.

Zhu Xiongying immediately rushed in with his men, looked at the scene in front of him, and slowly came to Scar.

"What about people?"

"Humph!"

Scar snorted coldly and said nothing!
"Your Highness, there is a cellar here!"

Zhu Xiongying hurried over to check, and after taking a look, he hurried downstairs.

After going down, I was stunned by the scene in front of me!

There were all children there. When they saw someone coming, they couldn't help but shrink back, their eyes filled with fear.

"Big brother!"

When little Wang Lin saw that it was Zhu Xiongying, he quickly threw himself into Zhu Xiongying's arms. He was tied with ropes.

"Not afraid!"

"Brother will take you out!"

"Yuan Tiangang, take them all out!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, Zhu Xiongying took little Wang Lin out of the cellar.

"Are you okay?"

Little Wang Lin shook his head: "It's okay!"

"Jiang Yu!"

"exist!"

"Take him to Zhaoyu and treat him well, but don't let him die."

"understand!"

"take away!"

........................................................................

Inside the prison!
At this time, Scar was suffering cruel punishment and Zhu Xiongying was sitting next to him watching.

Little Wang Lin has been sent back to the palace, and he wants to personally entertain this person.
