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

"Sir, Mr. Xu's younger brothers and sisters!"

On the way to Tuqiao Village, Zhou Lang, who was acting as the coachman, suddenly reined in his horse, turned around and shouted into the carriage.

The curtain is lifted.

A big head was revealed, with a round face and two small eyes, looking forward in the direction of Zhou Lang's finger...

Xu Huizu rode a horse, followed by a carriage and an ox cart.

"Hurry, help me out of the car. Mr. Zhu's brother-in-law and sister-in-law must give him face." Jiang Jinzhong urged.

With Zhou Lang's help, Jiang Jinzhong's chubby body was finally transferred from the carriage to the ground.

At this time, Xu Huizu had also arrived.

When Xu Huizu smiled and was about to speak, Zhou Lang smiled first and asked, "Mr. Xu, are you going back?"

"This is Mr. Jiang, the magistrate of this county. Mr. Jiang is going to Tuqiao Village to meet Mr. Zhu."

Xu Huizu looked at Jiang Jinzhong in slight surprise, turned over and dismounted, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "I have met County Magistrate Jiang."

"Master Xu..."

…

After the two parties exchanged greetings for a while, they said goodbye.

Jiang Jinzhong got on the carriage, stuck his head out of the window, glanced in the direction Xu Huizu and others left, and said with emotion: "Mr. Xu's family must not be simple."

"When it comes to family, Mr. Zhu is definitely not the slightest bit worse. No wonder the Xu family doesn't agree with Mr. Xu marrying Mr. Zhu."

Zhou Lang drove the car and said with certainty through the curtain: "Sir, I think Mr. Zhu will definitely become rich and noble in the future! By then, the rural life of Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu will definitely become a good talk."

"You don't have to say that!" Jiang Jinzhong rolled his little eyes, "Mr. Zhu has the talent of a king! The bidding and tax package are just a small test of Mr. Zhu's skills!"

"Just wait and see, as long as Mr. Zhu succeeds in building a rural community in Tuqiao Village, it will surely illuminate the entire history!"

"The fragrance of rice flowers talks about a good year, and you can listen to the sound of frogs... Don't laugh at the farmers' wine, which is muddy. In the good years, there are enough chickens and dolphins... chickens crow and dogs bark, and a smoke cage spreads ten miles away..."

Zhou Lang listened and said with a smile: "What a poem, sir!"

‘Otherwise I would admit it, Zhou Lang’s knowledge wouldn’t have known it anyway, this is the poetry of the ancients. ’

Jiang Jinzhong's face turned slightly red, and his small eyes rolled around.

Ahem...

"It doesn't matter who did it."

"The important thing is that Tuqiao Village in the future will most likely become what is described in the poem."

"Throughout the ages, there have been many pastoral poems praising the scenery of pastoral villages, but in fact, we all know what a real countryside looks like. Now Tuqiao Village has the opportunity to restore the prosperity full of fireworks in the poems, with cocks crowing, dogs barking, Piglets brayed, people laughed, children read..."

…

Jiang Jinzhong and Zhou Lang were chatting and rushing on their way.

Unconsciously, we arrived in front of Zhu Di's small courtyard.

The small fence gate of the small courtyard was closed tightly, and the door of the small house was also locked.

In the courtyard, Dahuang and Xiaohei, who were 'eating, eating, eating', heard the noise and turned around to look.

Zhou Lang made sure there was no one in the courtyard and said, "Sir, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu are not at home. They must be at Gongci Academy."

"Go to the ancestral temple." The carriage started, Jiang Jinzhong lowered the curtain, looked at the small courtyard, and said with emotion: "People who have real skills and know how to live, even if they only have a small house or a small courtyard, can live a different life." a feeling of."

"If you can sweep a house, you can sweep the world. I am really not worthy of such a talented person." ’

…

The carriage came to a stop at the gate of the ancestral temple.

Jiang Jinzhong is ‘broad and fat’, and there was a lot of movement when he got out of the car.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, who were tutoring the children with their homework, were alerted. They both came to the door of the school and saw Jiang Jinzhong smiling and waving, staggering in from the outside.

Although Zhu Di was funny, he couldn't help but be curious about Jiang Jinzhong's purpose.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and stepped forward.

"Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu are bothering you." As soon as they met, Jiang Jinzhong showed a very correct attitude and started a very sincere self-analysis. "The prince ordered me to report on my work, and also asked me to explain my experience to the officials of the day. It really frightens me and I can only bother Mr. Zhu."

Jinling report?

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were a little surprised, but they felt it was very reasonable.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said to Zhu Di: "I will tutor the children, and you can advise Mr. Jiang."

Zhu Di nodded and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, let's go to the house to talk."

"Okay, okay."

Jiang Jinzhong nodded in agreement, bowed to Xu Miaoyun and thanked him, and then followed Zhu Di into the house.

"Mr. Jiang, sit down wherever you like. This is the office of our local village community." After entering the room, Zhu Di said while getting the teapot and tea bowl.

After giving Jiang Jinzhong a bowl of herbal tea, Zhu Di sat down and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Jiang for having such an honor and opportunity. After the trip to Jinling, Mr. Jiang has refrained from arrogance and impetuosity, and worked hard in Jiangning for a year or two. I'm afraid... It’s about to be promoted.”

"Actually, this is all the credit of Mr. Zhu." Jiang Jinzhong was modest, but his brows were so excited that he had already exposed all the excitement in his heart.

Then he asked: "Mr. Zhu, why do you need to wait for another year or two? There is no chance of being promoted this time?"

Zhu Di resisted the urge to slap Jiang Jinzhong in the face with the sole of his shoe, and explained with a smile: "After the Yang Xian incident, it is basically impossible for this dynasty to see such a sudden rise in the sky again."

new

What Yang Xian brought to the old man was not only a disastrous political failure.

The old man's character has always regarded Yang Xian's incident as a great shame and humiliation in his life!

The old man will never do something like this twice.

"At the same time, it has been nine years since the founding of this dynasty. There is no shortage of talents available, and the employment system is becoming increasingly standardized. Even if Mr. Jiang is appreciated and favored, the court cannot break the promotion rules of the court for Mr. Chiang."

"At the same time, I have to remind Mr. Jiang that suddenly rising to a high position is not a good thing. If you are happy, others will be jealous."

"Does Yang Xian have the ability? Definitely! But why do all the dirty things he did suddenly explode in a concentrated manner? After the outbreak, everyone adds insult to injury, making it impossible for him to stand up forever?"

"He came out too quickly and a lot of people were unhappy."

"You're right! You're right! Mr. Zhu's place is indeed full of good luck!"

Jiang Jinzhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, secretly rejoicing in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Zhu, I understand. This time, even if His Majesty promotes me, I will decline it!"

"I want to tell Your Majesty that my local experience is not enough. I need to practice in the local area for a period of time before I can serve Your Majesty better!"

Zhu Di's lips twitched, changed the subject, and reminded: "This time the Crown Prince ordered you to report on your duties. The first is to win over you and make you a member of the Crown Prince's family. The second is to win over you and justifiably take over the credit for the auction tax package. You Become a member of the Prince's family, and your innovations and initiatives will belong to the Prince."

"You have to be mentally prepared for these."

…

Zhu Di spoke in great detail.

Fatty Jiang, after all, was the shade tree he found for the children.

The bigger the tree, the more lush its branches and leaves, the more benefits it will have to the children.

Jiang Jinzhong listened carefully.

After hearing the end, I directly picked up the pen and paper on the table and started memorizing it.

After a long time, Zhu Di stopped and concluded: "There will definitely be people who oppose the tax package in the auction and will blame you."

"Facing this kind of Shangguan, you must maintain respect for the Shangguan, but you must also insist on bidding and paying taxes without being humble or arrogant. Be strong-minded and withstand the pressure. If you do this, you will be in the heart of the Emperor!"

Jiang Jinzhong stood up, tidied his clothes, and bowed to Zhu Di solemnly to express his gratitude. After sitting down again, he promised: "Mr. Zhu, when I go to see the prince this time, I will definitely recommend him to the prince. The bidding and tax sourcing is his credit, and I will never do it." I will take all the credit."

"Don't!" Zhu Di refused seriously and reminded: "Master Jiang, my wife and I just want to live quietly in Tuqiao Village."

“I don’t want too much outside interference.”

"If you cause unnecessary trouble to us, I'm afraid we will have to find a way to move out of Tuqiao Village."

If Fatty Jiang publicizes him in Jinling City.

He can guarantee it 100%.

Jiang Jinzhong can no longer be accepted by the prince family!

At the same time, people from the prince family will try their best to engage in pornographic bidding and tax-paying!

"No!" Jiang Jinzhong panicked, stood up and said, "Since Mr. Zhu doesn't want to, I promise not to mention him in front of the prince!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

After the important matter was settled, Jiang Jinzhong took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and said, "Mr. Zhu, these are the children's examination papers set by the academic administration in previous years."

"You and Mr. Xu can let the children practice in advance to adapt to the difficulty of the child exam."

Zhu Di glanced at the paper, did not take it, and looked at Jiang Jinzhong suspiciously.

Jiang Jinzhong immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, all the children in Jiangning County who take the childbirth examination can get these papers. That means we, the farm children in Tuqiao Village, have no chance."

"So, it's not cheating or special favors."

Only then did Zhu Di take it, but he didn't care about it.

Children are not tested for the sake of testing.

However, he still clasped his fists and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Jinzhong stood up with a smile, "Mr. Zhu, I won't interrupt. I am very much looking forward to the children's exam results next year. I am also very much looking forward to the results of Mr. Zhu's rural village construction! If nothing else, I will continue to work in Jiangning for a few more years." County magistrate, if the construction of rural village communities requires the support of the county government, Mr. Zhu must tell me."

Zhu Di thanked him with a smile and sent Jiang Jinzhong away.

On the way back.

Jiang Jinzhong felt that he was feeling stuffy in the carriage and could not express his mood at the moment. He sat on the shaft of the carriage like Zhou Lang, with his eyes closed and humming a tune.

Zhou Lang was at the side, looking at Jiang Jinzhong's arrogance, curled his lips, and after holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't help asking: "Sir, do you really not recommend Mr. Zhu to the prince?"

Jiang Jinzhong hesitated.

He is willing to let Mr. Zhu share the credit.

But he was afraid that Mr. Zhu would be too annoyed and moved away from Tuqiao Village.

‘Do you want to recommend it to the prince? ’

…

royal palace.

Ma Xiuying visited the palace.

The little maid hurried in and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have inquired clearly. Your Majesty went to camp outside the city and is not in the palace now."

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying immediately smiled and urged: "Get ready, let's leave the palace and go to the Duke of Wei's mansion to wait for Miaoyin!"
