Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 116 The traitor jumped out himself (Subscribe)

"Which Zhang Baigui?"

Zhu Zhanjun asked anxiously.

The bearded man smiled slightly, clasped his fists and bowed again: "What your Highness thinks."

Zhu Zhanjun's breathing suddenly stagnated, and he asked excitedly, "Where are you from?"

The bearded man shook his head slightly: "I am what I dream about, and I will obey your orders. However, I am him and not him. I have his lifelong talents, strategies, insights, knowledge, and cognition, but I know in my heart that I am not him, and he is still him, so my name is only Zhang Baigui."

Zhu Zhanjun looked at the handsome man in front of him and murmured, "It's him, but it's not him."

Xiaohu, who was standing by, was completely confused.

What is he and what is not him? What is Your Highness talking about with this pretentious guy?
In Xiaohu's eyes, this guy who looks better than him is just a show-off.

"When did you come?"

Zhang Baigui smiled and replied softly, "I have always been here, just hiding in the shadows. If Your Highness needs me, I will come."

Zhu Zhanjun couldn't help but laugh, and asked curiously, "I remember there were only three students before the palace examination this year."

Zhang Baigui nodded and replied, "Indeed, there are three of them. When His Majesty heard that I was in mourning at home, he summoned me to the capital to take the palace examination."

"Thanks to the grace of His Majesty, I have become this year's new top scholar and will be admitted to the Imperial Academy as a compiler according to the rules."

Zhang Baigui bowed to the imperial palace and said, "Your Majesty entered the Hanlin Academy yesterday and wanted to select someone to be your chief secretary to assist your highness in managing the affairs of Fengyang Prefecture."

"The other gentlemen avoided me, and Bai Gui saw this opportunity and recommended himself. Your Majesty examined him and granted him a position. I came to see Your Highness today after the handover. I am sorry for the delay. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

He bowed again to show his apology.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm glad you're here." Zhu Zhanjun happily stepped forward to help the other person up, waved his hand to let Xiaohu go out first, and then closed the door.

After the two of them sat down, Zhu Zhanjun personally poured a cup of tea for the other person.

Zhang Baigui quickly stood up, looking flattered.

After sitting down again, Zhu Zhanjun looked at the other person curiously.

"What on earth are you?"

Zhang Baigui took a sip of the fragrant tea, squinted his eyes and savored it for a while before he replied: "I will use a simple and clear method to explain it."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded, signaling the other party to speak quickly.

Zhang Baigui pondered for a moment and then said, "Your Highness is the head of a family and controls thousands of acres of fertile land, but it is impossible for him to cultivate it himself, so he needs the assistance of tenants and farmhands."

"It's a big family, so we need all kinds of people to handle it, to manage such a big family."

"My position is like that of a steward of this big family. I follow the orders of the head of the family and take charge of a certain area."

"In the future, there will be guards and various talents who will assist the head of the family and manage the family."

"Since we need to breed, we can only give birth to one child every year. However, we are different from tenant farmers. Our life mission is to obey the master and help him solve problems. Therefore, each of us has outstanding abilities."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded suddenly.

The arrangement of this space is quite clear. As the head of the family, Zhu Zhanjun cannot do everything himself, so he must have assistants.

Zhu Zhanjun felt helpless that Lao Zhu and others could not appear in reality. These powerful people could only give him spiritual guidance and could not help him at all.

Later, he recruited the realistic Xia Yuanji, and he felt a little relieved.

That's right, just a little bit. After all, Xia Yuanji is the old man's minister, and he can't be so obvious and help Zhu Zhanjun with all his strength.

The appearance of Zhang Baigui made Zhu Zhanjun understand.

He took Lao Zhu and others too seriously because of their true identities.

It’s not that Lao Zhu and others can’t come out to help him, but that Lao Zhu and others, as long-term workers and tenants, their main responsibility and mission is to farm.

There are special spaces for those who will help his master manage all government affairs, those who will guard the house, and those who will go out to fight with others.

Zhu Zhanjun was speechless about the space. Although he had taken over all authority, some information was trigger-sensitive.

If he had not been exposed to it, or it was happening, Zhu Zhanjun would not be able to reveal this information.

As Zhang Baigui told the story, Zhu Zhanjun also had this information in his mind, and at the same time, the level system of the space was slowly revealed. The entire system was in the shape of a pyramid, and the topmost one was the master of Zhu Zhanjun's space.

The next level is the general manager who is responsible for all aspects, and below that are the military guards, and the next level below that are the major craftsmen who are responsible for various technical issues. The second to last level is the farmhand, and needless to say, the bottom level is the tenants under the farmhand.

Each class has different authority, and the upper class has strict management over the lower class.

In other words, if Zhang Baigui finds that Lao Zhu is not working hard, is cheating, and fails to complete the assigned tasks, he can punish him directly.

"You came just in time." After figuring out the reason, Zhu Zhanjun's face was filled with joy.

He has been worried these days.

The expansion of the Veterans Chamber of Commerce in the capital and the cultivation and management of new varieties require him to pay attention to every detail.

But he couldn't just leave Fengyang Prefecture alone, so he had to find someone who could help him. After looking around his men, they couldn't find anyone who was good at the job.

Yang Rong had no problem with it, but on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Rong asked for leave to go home, and Zhu Zhanjun directly approved him three years of mourning leave.

In fact, even if the other party stays, Zhu Zhanjun will not use him in any important position for the time being.

Yang Rong has the corresponding ability, but the problem is that he is not his man yet, and it is impossible for him to know some internal secrets.

Now with Zhang Baigui, Zhu Zhanjun was completely relieved.

With the same abilities, skills and wisdom as that person, he would have no problem managing not only a small Fengyang Prefecture, but the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Please give your instructions, Your Highness."

Zhang Baigui bowed and saluted, waiting respectfully for orders.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded and told everyone his ideas and plans.

After listening to this, Zhang Baigui hesitated for a moment and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, how much authority can I get?"

Having ability is one thing, but without the corresponding power, no matter how great the ability is, it is useless.

Zhu Zhanjun had already made a plan in mind, and said to him: "Except for the right to mobilize troops, you can make the decision on everything else."

"As for the appointment and removal of officials, and changes to local land policies, if anyone dares to disobey or neglect them, you don't need to report to me. You can deal with them directly and then tell me the results and reasons afterwards."

Upon learning of his responsibilities, Zhang Baigui smiled and bowed deeply.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Bai Gui will definitely fulfill his mission."

Zhu Zhanjun reached out his hand to help the other person up, looked at him seriously and asked, "How many years will it take you to manage Fengyang Prefecture to the level we imagined? Or how long will it take you to achieve this goal?"

Zhang Baigui pondered for a moment and replied, "If there is no flood or natural disaster to disturb us, we can reach this state in three years."

“If combined with water management, it will take five years to reach this point.”

Zhu Zhanjun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you five years. If you can achieve what I'm satisfied with, I'll allow you to have a wife and children in real life."

Zhang Baigui bowed to the ground and said, "I thank your Highness for your kindness."

As a member of this space, Zhang Baigui cannot have children in reality without the approval of its master Zhu Zhanjun.

They will not be like Zhu Zhanjun, whose lifespan will be consumed slowly as the space expands.

Apart from being able to enter space at any time, Zhang Baigui's lifespan is the same as that of ordinary people in real life, and he will also experience birth, aging, sickness and death.

The only difference is that they will enter the space after death, and like Lao Zhu, without the help of the golden lotus root, they will stay in the space forever.

All living things have the instinct to reproduce and pass on. Zhang Baigui and other future general managers and guards, in addition to their infinite loyalty to Zhu Zhanjun, also have their own ideas and wishes.

Their only wish is to pass on their bloodline and leave a trace of their existence in this world.

With someone helping to manage Fengyang Prefecture, Zhu Zhanjun did not plan to waste time. He decided to pack up and set off for Fengyang Prefecture in the next two days.

After settling down in Fengyang Prefecture, he would rush back to deal with the issue of high-yield grain.

Zhu Zhanjun depends on these high-yield crops to ensure that he will have an endless supply of golden spring water in the future.

As long as people's food is still grain, Zhu Zhanjun, who brought back high-yield grain, will be famous forever.
