Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne From the Start!

Chapter 301 Zhu Di Refreshes His Cognition Again and Again

It was close to noon. [6][9][s][h][u][x][.][c][o][m]

The thin snow on the road melted.

Zhu Yuanzhang's convoy gradually grew larger and closer to the village entrance...

Dong, dong, dong...

As the carriage approached, the lively gongs and drums gradually became clearer, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard faintly.

Inside the carriage.

Zhu Xiongying curiously lifted the curtain to look around.

‘You little heartless boy! Let's see if you cry tonight! ’

Chang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile and turned her head, "It's so lively, what are the fourth brother and the others doing?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and didn't know.

“Dragon!”

At some point, Zhu Xiongying suddenly shouted excitedly, and Zhu Biao and Chang lifted the curtain...

It turned out to be a dragon dance.

The gongs and drums were loud.

Mao Xiang was holding a dragon ball made of straw wrapped in red cloth and jumping around in front.

Zhu Di used a long high pole, with a colorful and vivid dragon head on top, to control the dragon head to dance with the dragon ball.

A team of young people of the same age as Zhu Di behind him held up long dragon bodies woven from bamboo and straw, and danced in a winding manner.

The adults followed to watch the excitement, and the children laughed happily, running around the dragon dance team.

Xu Miaoyun stood at the door holding the two little guys. Seeing that the dragon dance team was about to arrive, he turned his head and urged with a smile: "Yang Rong, go and light the firecrackers."

Yang Rong held a lit incense stick in his hand.

Hearing this, he stepped forward with his short legs and ran towards the gate with a smile.

Crackling...

After lighting a small string of firecrackers hanging on the gate, he hurriedly dodged.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, the villagers rushed into the yard, and Zhu Di led the village dragon dance team and began to circle around the house.

Finally, he returned to the yard.

The dragon body danced in the yard.

Mao Laoliu deliberately danced the dragon ball and came in front of Xu Miaoyun and the two little guys.

The villagers laughed heartily.

Zhu Di smiled and glared at Mao Laoliu who was making trouble.

He held the dragon head and approached Xu Miaoyun and the two little guys.

Little Yongming and Xiao Qihua looked at the beautiful dragon head, laughed happily, babbled and reached out to grab it.

Zhu Di deliberately controlled the dragon head to avoid it.

"Ah... Daddy..."

"Ah... Daddy..."

The two little guys were anxious and called for their daddy in unclear baby language.

...

The convoy stopped far outside the yard.

Concubine Wang lay on the window, her beautiful eyes wide open, looking at the lively scene in the yard in surprise.

The woman holding the two children must be Xu Miaoyun, right?

Such a beautiful woman, the jewel in the palm of the Ming Dynasty, how could she be willing to follow Zhu Silang to the countryside?

Why didn't she become a yellow-faced woman in the countryside?

When she was in Goryeo, she had seen those low-class untouchables who farmed the land.

The women's faces and hands were black and rough, and they were ugly.

Many Goryeo nobles called these low-class people animals.

In fact, it was almost the same. The low-class people worked on the land to support the nobles, and the low-class people served in the army to protect the nobles.

Xu Miaoyun was completely different from the sloppy and ugly village women she knew.

Although she was dressed simply and looked like she was wearing coarse cloth, she didn't seem to have suffered any hardship. Her face was full of happiness, and she couldn't hide it.

We are all women.

Whether a woman is happy or not can be seen at a glance by looking at her smile and eyes.

Could it be that Zhu Silang didn't need Xu Miaoyun to work in the fields?

How could a crude soldier like Zhu Silang be so kind to women?

But the happiness on Xu Miaoyun's face couldn't deceive anyone.

Concubine Wang shifted her sight from Xu Miaoyun to Zhu Di. Because Zhu Di had his back to the yard, she couldn't see the front clearly.

But from the movements of dancing the dragon to make his wife and children happy, she could see that this soldier treated his wife and children not as rudely and coldly as he did in the court that day.

At the same time, she also found that the people of Tuqiao Village were different from the people she saw in her motherland.

She met many people of the Ming Dynasty along the way.

On the day she came to Jinling, although many people of Jinling went to see the imperial examination results, she also met some people of Jinling later.

The people of the Ming Dynasty, unlike Goryeo, did not have the look of long-term hunger on their faces.

Along the way, the people of Jinling had the best spirits.

But the spirits of the people of Tuqiao Village were even better than those of Jinling City!

In Zhu Silang's yard, the villagers who laughed and applauded, occasionally turned their heads to look at them.

She actually saw light in the eyes of these lowly people!

'The prince said that Tuqiao Village is the direction and goal of the future development of rural areas in the Ming Dynasty. Is everything in front of us because of Zhu Silang? And what is his local village? '

She had never asked about Zhu Silang.

She just heard Li Shi say it.

Later, she heard the prince occasionally mention it.

What she knew most was that Zhu Silang was very good at fighting.

In the front carriage.

Mrs. Lu also looked at Xu Miaoyun with envy.

Quietly, she gave birth to two children in her lifetime, a son and a daughter.

She only showed a little favor to a group of rural children, but these wild children made Xu Miaoyun proud.

At this moment, they were still around Xu Miaoyun, chattering non-stop.

Zhu Di even held Xu Miaoyun in his palm and spoiled her.

I heard from the prince.

His father was worried that Zhu Di would spoil Xu Miaoyun...

Zhu Di even had a little temper with his father for this.

Why did Xu Miaoyun live to be the object of envy of all women?

God favored Xu Miaoyun too much, right?

What virtue and ability did Xu Miaoyun have?

Good fortune may not be a blessing, Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di will definitely pay a price in the future!

After a while, the sound of gongs and drums gradually subsided.

Zhu Di turned around and handed the pole that lifted the dragon's head to his eighth uncle...

Mrs. Lu hugged Zhu Yunwen and whispered softly, "Yunwen, remember, this is the man who almost forced your grandfather to death regardless of the fact that we are all relatives."

In the carriage behind.

Beauty Wang watched Zhu Di take the two little guys from Xu Miaoyun's arms, turned around and talked to the villagers, her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly...

Is this Zhu Silang?

Why are they so different from those in court that day?

When meeting Zhu Silang in the court.

Zhu Silang's face was dark and rough, cold and rude.

No matter how you say it, they are all Goryeo nobles.

Even if they are not as good as the Ming royal family, they are still nobler than these villagers, right?

Zhu Silang treated them coldly and perfunctorily that day.

Are you talking and laughing with a group of vulgar villagers today?

The dark and rough face has also become a lot whiter. It is not particularly white. The man's skin color is just right. Coupled with his tall figure, he is worthy of the saying "Jade Tree Lin Feng".

As for my face that day at noon, my face was dark and rough, probably caused by exposure to wind, sun and wind.

At this moment, Zhu Silang had an inexplicably attractive aura lingering around him.

It seems that no matter where he stands, he can become the center.

No wonder Xu Miaoyun was willing to marry herself and chased Zhu Silang to the countryside.

snort!

Miss Wang thought about it and suddenly hummed, "No matter how good you are, you are still a farmer!"

Xu Miaoyun is willing to accompany Zhu Silang to farm in the countryside.

She wouldn't be that stupid.

On the contrary, she had to be lucky that at noon that day, Zhu Silang's image was bad enough.

If she saw Zhu Silang like this that day, she would definitely hesitate.

Plus, with Li Zhen beside her, speaking for Zhu Silang, she would most likely choose Zhu Silang in a daze.

"If I choose Zhu Silang out of nowhere, my whole life will be ruined."

After a while.

Everyone in the courtyard dispersed.

Zhu Yuanzhang then ordered the carriage to approach the courtyard.

"Fourth uncle!"

The carriage had just stopped.

Zhu Xiongying's little head couldn't wait to stick out from the car window, smiling and waving.

Zhu Di handed Yong Ming and Qihua to Xu Miaoyun, walked over quickly with a smile, took Zhu Xiongying directly from the window and asked with a smile, "Do you miss your fourth uncle?"

"think!"

"Do you want Uncle Four to wash your wet clothes?"

Mrs. Chang saw Zhu Xiongying hugging Zhu Di's neck, talking to Zhu Di, and then put down the curtain with a smile.

Xiongying and his fourth brother, uncle and nephew have such a good relationship.

She felt more relieved.

He turned around, looked at Zhu Biao, smiled, and whispered, "Looking at Xiongying and fourth brother being so close, are you not jealous?"

"Jealous!"

Zhu Biao stared with a smile.

A little bit indeed.

Perhaps because he was busy with political affairs, he didn't have much time to grow up with Xiongying.

Or maybe, in an environment like the East Palace.

At least, Xiongying had never been like this in front of him.

However, Xiongying and Laosi have such a good relationship, and he is happy to see them.

Since ancient times, there have not been many long-lived emperors.

The fourth child is younger than him.

There is a high probability that he will go ahead of the fourth child.

He can rest assured that he will entrust Xiongying to Lao Si in the future.

After gathering his thoughts and regaining consciousness, he smiled and said, "Let's get out of the car."

A group of people got off the car one after another.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but be slightly surprised when they saw Lu and Meiren Wang coming.

A few simple words of greeting.

Zhu Yuanzhang suggested: "Fourth, take us to the village."

Soon those eyesores will be coming.

Let’s go to the village first.

After the group of unsightly people arrived, everyone chatted at Lao Si's house. The two parties were staggered so as not to bump into each other and someone's feet would be exposed.

So, Zhu Di hugged Zhu Xiongying and walked in front with Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ma Xiuying and the Crown Princess divided up Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua, and followed behind with Xu Miaoyun.

Miss Wang and Mrs. Lu walked at the back.

Wang Meiren looked at Xu Miaoyun, got slightly closer to Mr. Lu, and asked curiously in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister Concubine, do you know what happened to Miss Xu and Zhu Silang?"

She was thankful though.

But I am also very curious about how Zhu Silang treats Xu Miaoyun on weekdays.

Xu Miaoyun was actually willing to stay with him in the countryside.

Lu was slightly stunned, "Envy Xu Miaoyun?" ’

In the entire Jinling, who among the powerful female family members does not envy Xu Miaoyun?

It’s not surprising that Beauty Wang is envious.

She was still willing to tell this to Beauty Wang.

First of all, this was her first time communicating with Beauty Wang. Her father had said that if the Crown Prince really loved Beauty Wang, he would make friends with her.

Secondly, if Mrs. Wang hears how Zhu Silang dotes on Xu Miaoyun.

Ask the prince to learn from Zhu Silang.

That would be great.

The prince must be disgusted with you!

"Miaoyun is the envy of all the female relatives of Jinling's powerful families..."

Beauty Wang looked at Ms. Lu in astonishment.

Is it that exaggerated?

"Fourth brother opened a school in order to keep Miao Yun from going to the ground..."

The people in front didn't pay much attention to what the two women behind were talking about.

Zhu Di took Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao to the chicken coop, pig house, and the breeding farm, and then walked to the threshing floor.

"Golden stick!"

Zhu Xiongying exclaimed, interrupting the chat of several women behind him.

Ma Xiuying, Crown Princess, Lu, and Wang Meiren looked up and were stunned by the scene in the distance.

There were big golden sticks hanging on the shelves that stood everywhere in the threshing floor.

It's golden and looks very spectacular.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to recover from his surprise.

He had already read the Jin Yiwei report, but even so, he was still shocked.

He smiled at Zhu Xiongying and said: "This is not gold, but corn. Last summer, you and your fourth uncle went to Liaodong and didn't get any. This year, we Xiongying must try anything."

Zhu Biao came back to his senses, looked at Zhu Di in surprise, and couldn't wait to ask: "Fourth, do you have an estimate of the yield per mu?"

Zhu Di stretched out five fingers.

"Five stones!" Zhu Biao exclaimed.

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

Five stones is six hundred catties.

Compared with later generations, there are actually not many.

Last year, the weather in Yingtianfu was good and the dry land was not short of water.

The reason why there is only 600 kilograms is that the land is too barren.

If he went to the north to plant, he estimated that the amount would be reduced by half.

Even so, it's not bad.

The paddy fields in Tuqiao Village were still composted the year before last, but this year's rice and wheat yields only just exceeded three kilograms.

Corn cultivation is promoted on a large scale.

The food of Ming Dynasty can at least be doubled.

After Zhu Biao stabilized his emotions, he smiled easily, "Great! With corn as a supplement to the staple food, we Ming people will no longer need to go hungry in the future."

Father, son, and brother came to the threshing floor chatting.

Wang Meiren curiously reached out to touch and hold the corn, as if she thought of something, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

Lu looked at it suspiciously and introduced: "After the tender corn is cooked, it becomes glutinous and delicious..."

In the summer, Mao Xiang pulled a cart of green corn cobs to Jinling.

The East Palace was also divided a lot.

The prince ordered people to give her a lot.

At that time, she was pregnant with Yunwen, and nothing she ate tasted good. For some reason, she especially liked this corn.

After a while, everyone came to the granary.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the extra granary, "This is your charity granary, right?"

Zhu Di looked at Ogura.

In the middle of three granaries in the shape of a Chinese character.

This was built by Uncle Eight and others when he accompanied Xiongying to Liaodong. Facts have proved that the current Tuqiao Village can function normally even without him.

He smiled and nodded: "Yes, every autumn harvest from now on, we will store enough food for the whole village to eat for three days..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao listened carefully.

Whenever there was a natural or man-made disaster in the past dynasties, the imperial court would provide disaster relief.

But everyone understands.

The court's disaster relief efforts were actually more of a show-off.

The money and food taken out are just a drop in the bucket for the victims. After being exploited at all levels, very little can actually reach the stomachs of the victims.

If later.

Every village in the Ming Dynasty had a charity warehouse.

The villagers manage themselves, avoiding exploitation at all levels...

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't help but be excited.

They know very well that if every village has the ability to build a charity warehouse and store a little food in it every year.

What benefits can it bring to Ming Dynasty!

"Fourth." As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask: "Do you think your experience in building rural communities in Tuqiao Village is enough? Can it be promoted to the whole country this year?"

Ma Xiuying was chatting quietly with several daughters-in-law.

Hearing the sound, he stopped and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Beauty Wang was shocked when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking at Zhu Di expectantly, 'Father, do you value Zhu Silang's opinion so much? ’

Zhu Silang who saw it with his own eyes.

The side concubine held Xu Miaoyun in the palm of her hand and doted on Zhu Silang.

Now, the father attaches so much importance to Zhu Silang's attitude.

She had a feeling that the prince and Zhu Silang had different opinions on this matter.

Father is very likely to listen to Zhu Silang!

How can this be!

Everything today had a huge impact on her!

"I don't agree with it, so I will implement it in full force." With everyone paying attention, Zhu Di shook his head, "Er Chen suggested that from some scholars and officials, select some with good character and willingness to come to Tuqiao Village to have a look, and Talk to the folks in Tuqiao Village and have a good understanding of what a rural village community is, then send them back to their own village..."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and interrupted, "What if these scholars and scholars get together with their local squires?"

Laosi's rural village community is most taboo about big country gentry owning large amounts of land becoming shareholders.

Zhu Di smiled, "First of all, when the imperial court promotes rural village societies, it must set the principle that gentry cannot participate. As for these scholars, as long as they work in their hometowns, even for the sake of their ancestors, they will not dare to act arbitrarily."

This was the inspiration given to him by Fatty Jiang.

"Secondly, the imperial court can issue policies and promise that as long as they can succeed in their hometowns and build local village communities, scholars can become officials, and they will be given priority in future promotions!"

Local and local, combined with carrots and sticks.

Also, if the scale is controlled and the court has the power to carry out detailed supervision, no major problems will occur.

"At the same time, select some motivated, upright and promising young officials like Fang Xiaoru from local county magistrates, and let them try to promote rural village communities at the county level..."

“The situation of many local village communities blossoming and bearing fruit within the Ming Dynasty was formed, attracting people from surrounding villages to take the initiative to follow and imitate.”

In short, he firmly opposed it and rushed to implement it.

A swarm of bees, swarming up, will inevitably bring mud and sand down.

In this era, the imperial court was unable to conduct comprehensive and detailed supervision, so something would inevitably happen.

It was originally a good thing that created an era, but it will eventually be ruined and ruined.

It is better to bloom more and set an example to attract people to follow suit.

Some scattered points, with the ability of Jinyiwei and the control of the court over the local areas, are fully capable of keeping a close eye on them.

Maybe the process is a little slow and it will take time to see results.

But it can lay a solid foundation for the rural villages!

"Before the New Year, the surrounding villages have come to our village to investigate and ask for advice one after another..."

It was the actions of the surrounding villages that made him particularly confident in this method.

Chang tilted her head slightly and whispered with a smile: "Miaoyun, if Xiongying can be half as good as my fourth brother now in the future, I will wake up with a smile."

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile.

Lu took a look secretly and pinched her fingers.

I have to admit that Zhu Silang is really too good. If my father wants to take revenge, he may have to concentrate the power of many people to perhaps bring Zhu Silang down.

'Is this the real Zhu Silang? Is this the attitude of my father and the prince towards Zhu Silang? '

Wang Meiren felt that her cognition was refreshed again.

My father and the prince actually listened to Zhu Silang's explanation seriously like a student!

Although she didn't understand state affairs.

But Zhu Silang's narration was easy to understand.

If the Ming Dynasty developed as Zhu Silang said.

What a powerful country the prince would inherit?

If the prince is good, she is good.

Zhu Silang is very useful to the prince! He should be won over and used!

She had to put away her contempt for Zhu Silang.

So as not to upset the prince!

...

Jiangning County.

Fang Xiaoru turned his head and looked at the carriages following behind him, and couldn't help but secretly smack his lips.

As the prince's confidant.

He often returned to the East Palace to report to the prince on the progress of the local villages and communities, as well as his personal experience.

He knew some inside stories.

For example, the prince studied with the Prince of Yan.

He guessed that the fact that His Majesty took the prince's family to Tuqiao Village on the first day of the new year was probably related to this matter.

He supported this matter.

If the prince could learn half of Zhu Silang's skills, he would be able to become an excellent crown prince in the future.

Of course, Zhu Silang and his wife don't hold grudges in their hearts, but they like to write small notebooks to hold grudges. The grandson must not learn this.

It's scary!

Anyway, now, when he sees Zhu Silang, he wants to take a detour and avoid him.

However...

If the adults behind him knew that the grandson followed Zhu Silang to learn, they would probably be shocked.

They would also make a big fuss!

But don't make a fuss in Tuqiao Village again.

He doesn't want to be held accountable by Zhu Silang and his wife again!

Alas!

When will this bad fate between him and Zhu Silang end! ?

Seeing that everyone hates the role of Concubine Wang and scolds me for using this role in a watered-down way, I really don't have this idea. Maybe I can't grasp it well.

The purpose of this role is to promote Zhu Biao's personality change and self-liberation, so I wrote it in detail. Next, I will speed up the plot.

Thank you for your support.

Finally, I shamelessly ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
