Chapter 99 Plagiarism! ? First Presentation to the Courtiers!

It was getting close to evening.

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the small note sent back by the carrier pigeon, looked up, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "The village scholar's club, the tomb property, the people's share, the typos are endless, it's a mess, what is this!"

"What the hell is that bastard doing?"

It's good enough for the spies of the Jinyiwei to be able to write a few words. The carrier pigeon can only deliver messages with limited content.

A piece of crooked paper, only eight words, wow! There are four typos! Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it for a long time, but didn't understand what it meant.

Mao Xiang smiled bitterly, shrank his neck, and reminded weakly: "Your Majesty, it should be a rural village community, and the family property is invested. This is also my guess. I don't know what it means."

"But according to the emergency regulations of the Jinyiwei, the use of carrier pigeons means that it is very important."

"The carrier pigeons will arrive at the Jiangning stronghold first. If the Jiangning side sees the carrier pigeons and doesn't understand the meaning, they should immediately send spies, disguised as peddlers, deep into the village, and find ways to contact our spies."

"At the same time, they will also enter the village to inquire about the situation."

The spy planted in Tuqiao Village was originally a very small chess piece, whose role was to monitor the wind and grass around Jinling and observe the public opinion.

It is not a professional spy trained by the Jinyiwei at all.

This is not bad. Although four of the eight characters are wrong and the writing is crooked, at least a few words can be written.

Most spies planted at the village level are not even as good as this.

The reason why Tuqiao Village was chosen for the King of Yan was largely because there were spies from the Jinyiwei in Tuqiao Village.

The rank of this spy was gradually upgraded after the Prince of Yan went to Tuqiao Village.

The carrier pigeons were also arranged after the Prince of Yan went to Tuqiao Village.

Before, the Prince of Yan and his wife opened a school, which was relatively simple. It was also the first time to try to use carrier pigeons to deliver messages. Although there were typos, it could be guessed that it was to open a school.

But this time... Although the typos could be corrected: the local village community, the family property was invested.

But he couldn't figure out what the Prince of Yan was going to do.

The problem of the imperfection of the Jinyiwei was exposed!

"Forget it." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. He also understood the difficulties of the Jinyiwei and ordered: "At this time tomorrow, we must know what happened in Tuqiao Village!"

Huh!

Secretly relieved, Mao Xiang hurriedly said: "I will leave the city overnight and go to Jiangning County to arrange the most capable person in person to disguise as a peddler to go to Tuqiao Village!"

...

That night.

In front of the small window.

Zhu Di was writing a plan at his desk.

Xu Miaoyun was brewing tea next to him.

After the water on the small clay stove boiled, Xu Miaoyun skillfully scalded the pot, placed the tea, warmed the cup, and brewed it at high and low temperatures.

The tea soup with the most delicious taste in the teacup was "divided" into cups.

Then holding the teacup, she gently placed it next to Zhu Di.

The hot air rushed into his nostrils with the fragrance of tea.

Zhu Di smiled and looked up at the small steaming teacup, and said with a smile: "Why is it so complicated to drink a cup of tea today?"

In the past, they often drank tea while reading.

But it was not so complicated.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and joked: "I am not congratulating you on your appointment as the first village chief of Tuqiao Village."

"Don't be too nice to me, if you are too nice to me, I want to deal with you!" Zhu Di smiled and picked up the teacup.

Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned red.

She knew what "deal" meant here.

Zhu Di took a sip and couldn't help nodding.

Not to mention, the process is a bit complicated, but the taste is really different.

This is definitely not a psychological effect.

"Delicious!" Zhu Di praised, and smiled as he handed over the empty cup.

Xu Miaoyun blushed and glared, pouring tea for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at the sweet tea soup poured into the cup and said, "I want to take out five taels of silver from our family for the operation of the village community. These five taels of silver do not count as shares. Although it can still run without these five taels of silver."

"But if we have it, it can be faster and more convenient."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded, "Is five taels enough? We don't need so much money to build a house."

"Besides building a house, we don't have much money to spend."

Money is just material possessions.

She doesn't care.

Now her small family has food and drink, warmth and fulfillment, which is enough.

The village community is a career for Silang, so of course she has to support it.

"Even if it's not considered a share, our family is also a member of the village community. After the money is invested in the village community, the better the village community develops, the more our family will benefit. In the future, you don't need to discuss this kind of thing with me. If you want to do it, just do it."

"Am I such a petty person in your heart?"

Zhu Di picked up the teacup, smiled and drank, teasing: "Some people are very petty, but also very powerful!"

"I just said that some people are too good to me and want to deal with her. Now she seizes the opportunity and turns the tables.

Puff!

Xu Miaoyun held a cup of tea, blushed, smiled and lowered her head to taste the tea.

'The tea brewed tonight is so fragrant!'

...

The two of them lived a very enjoyable life.

But Mao Xiang was almost exhausted.

The next evening.

Mao Xiang entered the palace in a dusty manner.

He went straight to the imperial study.

"Your servant Mao Xiang will not disgrace the emperor's trust! "After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang knelt down and held up the investigation report to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Mao Xiang looked exhausted and ordered the palace maid: "Please take a seat!"

Mao Xiang was flattered. After thanking him, he stood up and sat down with his buttocks gently touching the edge of the stool.

"We ask you to sit down, and you sit properly, otherwise you continue to kneel!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the imperial court, he sat down and was about to open the book to check it out. He saw Mao Xiang's sitting posture, which was very annoying, and he was not angry and reprimanded him.

He was considerate, so he gave me a seat.

Otherwise, let Mao Xiang kneel down.

Mao Xiang smiled and hurriedly moved his buttocks slightly toward the middle of the stool.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to check the contents of the excerpt.

As he continued to read, his face became more and more solemn.

After watching it several times.

"shameless!"

Suddenly he muttered angrily: "This is obviously a mutual aid club that copied Lao San!"

Zhu Yuanzhang learned from the content of Zhu Di's rural community.

I saw the shadow of a mutual aid society.

He feels that this is based on the mutual aid cooperative and has been transformed to suit the special rural environment.

The third child had been to Tuqiao Village before.

This bastard, the fourth child, must have heard some information about the Health Institute Mutual Aid Society from the third child.

Mao Xiang opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Because the emperor was very interested in King Jin's Military Household Mutual Aid Society and sent him to thoroughly investigate the guard station, he was fortunate enough to know the contents of the Military Household Mutual Aid Society.

He did not agree with the emperor's judgment.

On the contrary, I also suspect that the Military Household Mutual Aid Society may also be the attention of King Yan!

However, King Yan certainly did not want this credit to fall on him.

So, when the words came to his lips, he held back.

"What do you think of this cooperative rural village community?"

Hearing this, Mao Xiang quickly gathered his thoughts and replied: "Your Majesty, I think it's very good."

"The benefits to the people are all written down in this brochure."

"I will tell you the benefits to the court."

"Once the rural village community model of Tuqiao Village can take shape in the world and the people have the ability to hoard food, it means that all the food will not be concentrated in the hands of the gentry."

"The food in the world is scattered. If there are natural or man-made disasters, these squires will not be able to hoard them and blackmail the court with food."

"This is one of them."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

This is the truth.

The more decentralized food is, the less it will be controlled by a few people when it is released to the market.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang nod, Mao Xiang was encouraged and continued: "Secondly, the boundary of the court's power has always been limited to the county government."

"The governance of the countryside has always been left to the gentry in all dynasties."

"Through the influence of the squires and clan ties, the people were managed by clan rules and rural conventions."

"More than 90% of the world's population are farmers. However, this huge population has all fallen into the hands of the gentry and clans. In fact, the only thing that is really directly managed by the imperial court is the remaining population."

Emperors of all dynasties, after the founding of the country, always said to the country gentlemen and scholars in the world: This dynasty follows the previous dynasty, and the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together.

Is the emperor so generous?

Really don’t want to deal with these people?

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I have no choice.

Just hold your nose and recognize the reality!

"Partnership rural cooperatives were established in rural areas."

"Within the scope of the power of the gentry and clans, a 'state-China' emerged, which weakened the power of the gentry and clans. Although the power of the central government did not increase as a result, the power of the gentry was weakened, which was equivalent to the increase of the central authority in disguise."

"Continue." Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged with a smile.

Mao Xiang swallowed secretly, not only did he not dare to be proud and indulgent, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Doesn’t the emperor know what he said?

impossible!

Prince Yan, I can only help you so much. Besides, the emperor should suspect that I am leaning towards you.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and can only think of this."

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and looked at Mao Xiang.

After a while, he said with a smile: "There is another benefit to the country. The establishment of rural village communities provides the court with an idea to restrain land annexation."

“History has proven that small farmers working alone can never compete with gentry who own large amounts of land.”

“Throughout the dynasties, small farmers will eventually lose their land and become tenant farmers.”

"The partnership system in rural villages has allowed us to see the possibility of small farmers breaking historical laws."

"Although he is suspected of plagiarizing Jin Wang, his ability to expand its content to this extent on the basis of Jin Wang's Military Husband Mutual Aid Club is enough to prove how outstanding he is!"

The corners of Mao Xiang's lips twitched.

He was not even sure that the emperor's words were a compliment.

Or even deeper suspicion!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Mao Xiang and ordered: "This matter has been done very well. Go down and rest."

After Mao Xiang said goodbye, he left feeling a little uneasy.

He could always feel a gaze on his back.

…

Morning next day.

After the ceremony between the monarch and his ministers is completed.

"minister……"

"We won't discuss anything else today." As soon as Hu Weiyong stepped out of the queue and was about to start playing, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

What was being discussed?

The ministers looked at Longting curiously...

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of paper from the imperial case, looked around at the ministers, arranged the paper, and said with a smile: "This is a secret memorial that records some things in Tuqiao Village."

"You guys circulate it first."

"After reading it, tell me what you think."

Zhu Silang!

The ministers' eyes widened instantly. This was the emperor, showing everyone secret information about Zhu Silang for the first time!

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care what the officials are thinking. He wants to see how these people react after watching it. This is the key point!

He casually handed the fold to the little eunuch waiting at his side.

Officials stared at the memorial in the eunuch's hand, and moved with the eunuch's movements...
