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

The first peach, Jiang Jinzhong went to Tuqiao Village to get the scriptures

"Sister, I'm back."

Carrying an empty basket, Xu Miaoyin smiled and joked as she entered the house: "The charcoal has been unloaded, the wine and food have been delivered, my brother-in-law is entertaining guests, and my brother is not coming back either."

"You're not worried now, are you?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and glared, "I wasn't worried at all."

It was her younger sister who was being funny and making fun of her.

How can Shiro still be hungry in the village?

Not to mention uncles and aunts, there is also such a loving sister...

Xu Miaoxiu stared at the food on the table, raised her hand and asked: "Sister, can you eat it? Even though I'm not hungry since I started in the morning, I'm very hungry!"

As she spoke, the little girl rubbed her belly.

The sisters suddenly burst into laughter.

Xu Miaoyun served dishes to the sisters one by one, "Eat quickly."

While eating, Xu Miaoyin asked curiously: "Sister, why did Tuqiao Village buy so much charcoal?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "Your brother-in-law has been making planning and preparations since he led the villagers to establish a rural village community."

"By the way, the office of the rural village community is also in the public temple."

…

"No, in the past few days, your brother-in-law has led the villagers to plan how many acres of rice, wheat, and cotton will be planted next year..."

…

"The purpose of purchasing this batch of charcoal is to prepare bricks for burning bricks and build a granary for the village. Once this granary is completed, the grain after the autumn harvest can be well preserved and sold in the following spring when the harvest is low and grain prices are high."

As she said that, Xu Miaoyun's smile became a little thicker, "The other thing is to build a big house. When you come next time, you can live in a big house."

…

The three sisters chattered and asked a lot of questions.

Xu Miaoyun answered one by one.

After the sisters had finished asking their most concerning questions, Xu Miaoyun looked outside and asked: "Miaoyin, during this period, are there any discussions about your brother-in-law in Jinling City again?"

Xu Miaoyin immediately gave a thumbs up, "My sister is so awesome. She can see Jinling City clearly even in Tuqiao Village."

"The bidding for tax packages has met with great resistance in the court."

"There's a lot of disturbance."

"The discussion about my brother-in-law has come up again."

"Dad didn't come this time because he was worried that his coming to Tuqiao Village would irritate some people in the court and cause you trouble."

…

at the same time.

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Biao and Mao Xiang stood nearby, waiting quietly.

At a certain moment, Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen, raised his head, and glanced at the two of them, "The bidding includes tax, the Jinling pilot project has not been decided yet?"

It is already too late to fully implement tax-packaging through bidding this year.

Tax collection has begun in various places, and even the squire's advance payment has been completed.

Moreover, Jiangning County alone is not enough to summarize more experiences.

When he heard about the bidding tax package plan, he ordered the counties under the jurisdiction of Jinling to suspend tax collection and wait for the court order.

It is planned that once Jiangning succeeds, Jinling counties will be used as pilot projects this year.

But it is difficult to break the situation.

The resistance in the court was very great.

There is resistance on both the civil and military fronts.

After all, these people originally represented the squires. Even if they did not represent the squires, they were widely and closely connected with the local squires through marriage.

A flash of self-blame flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes, "My son is incompetent..."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to stop him.

Except for him, this matter can be pushed forward directly through strong means, and it won't be easy for anyone else.

But he didn't want to take action in this matter.

Biaoer needs to exercise and establish his prestige.

It is even more necessary to master the means of governing ministers.

As a successor rather than a founder, Biao'er is destined to be unable to act in a domineering manner like him.

However, Biao'er also let him down in this matter!

"The next order you make is to order Jiang Jinzhong, the magistrate of Jiangning County, to go to the East Palace to report on his work. Then he will host a morning court meeting and ask Jiang Jinzhong to tell the ministers about his experience in bidding for tax packages."

Zhu Biao pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but didn't.

Snapped!

This action fell in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious. He stood up with a slap on the table, paced back and forth, turned around suddenly, and said loudly: "We know that you think Jiang Jinzhong is the person dug up by the fourth brother. As the eldest brother, you don't want to win over Jiang Jinzhong." .”

"I think this is unethical. It's just robbing the talent that that bastard Fourth Brother dug up!"

"You have to remember that you are the prince!"

"We are the heirs of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Everything in the world belongs to you, no one else can tell you!"

"As long as it is needed to govern the country, you can allocate any and all resources! This is the power you are born with! You are the prince, you don't need to be a humble gentleman!"

…

Mao Xiang smiled bitterly. The emperor was right, the prince just thought too much. new

He was certain that King Yan would not care at all.

After venting his anger, Zhu Yuanzhang relaxed a lot. He walked up to Zhu Biao, patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Do you know why this time, even the people who support you are opposed to bidding for tax packages?"

"Are they really reluctant to give up the benefits of the tax farming system?"

"Compared with the huge rewards after helping you achieve great unification, this little profit is nothing!"

"My father and my sons all know it." Zhu Biao said sincerely: "On the surface, they are opposed to the bidding tax package, but in fact they are boycotting the fourth brother."

"They are worried that this will become a contribution to the fourth brother. They are also worried that the people all over the world will be grateful to the fourth brother."

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly and said without hesitation: "Not only are they worried, we are also worried about this situation!"

"As the prince, you can find another way to repay the fourth son for his contribution to the country."

"But we must not give him such a contribution that can win the hearts of the people all over the world."

"As the heir to the imperial power, you are derelict in your duties by doing this! You are confused!"

"As a brother, if you do this, you are harming him!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, the tangled look on his face became much lighter.

new

After Zhu Yuanzhang noticed it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not only do you have to order Jiang Jinzhong to go to the East Palace to report on his work, and let him talk about his experience in bidding and tax-paying in the morning, but you also have to praise and encourage him in public!"

"But don't promote him for the time being. Observe him carefully and sharpen his character."

"The reception in the East Palace, the praise and encouragement, are all telling your supporters that you will recruit Jiang Jinzhong into the East Palace!"

"At the same time, by winning over Jiang Jinzhong, I can justifiably take over the contribution of bidding and tax-paying, which is enough to influence the hearts of the people in the world!"

"Whether this kind of behavior counts as picking peaches or not, it is what you must do as the prince! This kind of behavior is not evaluated by morality, but by the larger pattern of world stability!"

"Some people are talking about it, let them talk about it. You will be the emperor in the future. As an emperor, how can you live a virtuous saint who is free from dust and dirt!"

…

Zhu Biao listened patiently to the instruction. When Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he said sincerely: "Father, I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Mao Xiang, "Commander Mao, send someone to inform Jiang Jinzhong that he will come to the East Palace the day after tomorrow to report on his experience in implementing bidding and tax packages, and remind him to be well prepared and report his experience to the civil and military officials in the court."

Mao Xiang was waiting for these words. After hearing the order, he hurriedly bowed and said: "I will send someone to Jiangning immediately."

…

That afternoon.

Jiangning County Government.

Jiang Jinzhong sent away Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi, held it in his hands with his back, and finally walked into the study room, dancing with joy, "Time is coming! Time is coming!"

"I, a seventh-grade sesame official, actually have the opportunity to stand in the court and teach the high officials of the court."

"My friends in court must all envy me, haha..."

Zhou Lang had just returned from Tuqiao Village and was waiting beside him, trying hard not to laugh.

Jiang Jinzhong calmed down after a while, turned around and urged: "Hurry up and prepare the car to go to Tuqiao Village!"

ah?

For a moment, Zhou Lang's mind was a little confused, "Sir, what are you doing in Tuqiao Village? Mr. Xu's family is here. Isn't it a bit bad for us to go and disturb them now?"

"The situation is urgent, so I can only interrupt." Jiang Jinzhong waved his hand and sighed: "I have to thank Mr. Zhu. Everything I have now is due to Mr. Zhu's suggestions."

Zhou Lang reminded: "Sir Jiang, you can actually thank Mr. Zhu at other times..."

Before Zhou Lang could finish speaking, Jiang Jinzhong came over with a glare.

Thank you anytime, of course.

But he has to go to the East Palace to report on his work.

You also have to go to the court to teach the officials of the day.

He has no confidence!

Afraid!

Mr. Zhu is his ‘deputy general’. Firstly, he comes to get some mysterious luck. Secondly, he goes to ask Mr. Zhu how to deal with it in Jinling City.

This Zhou Lang is so stupid!

How could he say such a thing?

He also wants face!

…

Just as Jiang Jinzhong hurried to Tuqiao Village.

Inside the cabin.

Xu Miaoyin, Xu Miaojin, and Xu Miaoxiu were "tortured" Xu Miaoyun with smiles on their faces.

"Sister, please tell me honestly, why are you wearing my brother-in-law's inner jacket!" Xu Miaoxiu stood on the chair beside the couch, pointing down at Xu Miaoyun, and interrogating him with a smile.

Xu Miaoyin and Xu Miaojin giggled and held Xu Miaoyun's hand tightly.

Xu Miaoyun's pretty face flushed, and she said helplessly: "I say, I say, in such a hot weather, can you guys let go first?"

"No!" Xu Miaoyin and Xu Miaojin smiled at each other and shook their heads.

Xu Miaoyun was helpless and said with a blushing face: "After I became pregnant, I suffered from severe morning sickness. I accidentally discovered that the smell of your brother-in-law's boots is particularly effective in stopping nausea..."

The three sisters, Xu Miaoyin, tried their best to hold back their laughter and their eyes widened.

"Later, your brother-in-law thought of a way and asked me to try smelling his clothes. Does it work? It really does work..."

"Finally, in order to stop vomiting, after he wore the lining of your brother-in-law's shirt on the first day, I wore it on the second day..."

As he spoke, Xu Miaoyun's voice became inaudible.

Giggle...

After Xu Miaoyin and the other three knew the whole process, they couldn't bear it any longer and started laughing.

Anyway, if I laugh now, I can’t take it back.

Xu Miaoyin finally smiled calmly, grabbed Xu Miaoyun's hand, gently stroked Xu Miaoyun's lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't push everything to the baby, maybe, this is why you can't live without your brother-in-law! "

"Seeing that you are pregnant and your brother-in-law has taken such good care of you, we feel relieved. We will go back and tell my father. My father will definitely praise my brother-in-law to the sky."

Xu Miaoyun smiled lightly.

"Who wants to praise me to the sky?" At this time, Zhu Di's voice came from the yard.

The three Xu Miaoyin sisters immediately sat upright.

Xu Miaojin was even more active. She jumped off the ground, ran to the window, and shouted: "Brother-in-law, my father!"

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu came in with a few cloth bags and put them on the table with a smile. "This is the new grain harvested by me and your sister in a year. Let's take it home for Master Taishan to taste."

"The food is delicious. You can come and get it at any time. I have a brother-in-law who is a farmer. There are no other benefits. I eat authentic freshly ground new grains. That's enough!"

After Zhou Lang and others left, he took Huizu and Rhubarb to grind rice and flour on the big stone mill in the village.

Two little girls, Xu Miaoxiu and Xu Miaojin, ran to see the freshly ground flour and rice, while making fun of their brother-in-law.

Xu Miaoyin climbed on Xu Miaoyun's shoulder, whispered in her ear and smiled: "Sister, we have benefited from you, brother-in-law, this is Aiwujiwu."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and stared.

He looked at Zhu Di from the corner of his eyes.

I feel very happy.

The joy of life now is incomparable to that of being unmarried and living in the mansion.

After all, the Xu Mansion is a big family, and it is still in the whirlpool of power like Jinling. There will always be various conflicts.

Not like now.

Simple, peaceful, fulfilling, happy.

After everyone chatted for a while, it was getting late, and the four brothers and sisters set off to leave.

Xu Huizu had to send his three sisters back first and consult Xu Da. Only after Xu Da agreed could he come to Tuqiao Village.

At the same time, Jiang Jinzhong hurried to Tuqiao Village...
