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

Chapter 11 Zhu Di...

After the little eunuch took the order and left. ൠ♦

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the maids serving on both sides received instructions and silently exited.

Squeak!

The door is closed.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one left in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyebrows, leaned back slightly, rested his neck on the back of the chair, and looked up at the dragon head hanging on the roof, looking down.

Looking into the golden dragon eyes with the dragon head, exuding majesty and symbolizing authority.

The corners of his lips subconsciously raised slightly, "Be a farmer..."

"I have a small family, plant a few acres of land, raise some chickens and ducks, eat and drink enough, have children and grandchildren around my knees, and have peaches and plums all over the world..."

After nearly a year of surveillance and observation, he had figured out what this evil man was thinking.

You bastard, if you don't seek advancement, you really don't have the heart to compete for heirlooms.

The essential purpose of tax farming through auctions and the rural village community plan is not at all to think of sons as fathers and the Ming Dynasty.

God just wants to make himself comfortable.

The bidding tax package is being implemented on a pilot basis in Jinling.

It has ended perfectly.

Next year we will start to spread it to the whole world.

Now the rural village community plan has been noticed by the imperial court and is secretly observed.

…

All of these things are brought to the court by various people for different purposes.

Among them were him, Lu Ben, Fang Xiaoru and other supporters of Biao'er, as well as local officials like Jiang Jinzhong who were motivated by political achievements.

Only that bastard was the one who proposed it.

Never wrote him a letter!

"Selfish!"

"Unfilial!"

"Unfaithful!"

"Unrighteous!"

…

Zhu Yuanzhang was not stingy. He gave Zhu Di a "swish" and put the hats on his head.

(Zhu Di: There are too many. They are about to fall off. I really can’t wear them anymore...)

"Do you think that after the taxation through bidding and the establishment of the rural village community, you and Miaoyun will be able to ignore the disputes in our family and hide far away, like in the poem, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely The day when we meet Nanshan?"

"childish!"

"Corrupt officials, evil officials, cruel officials, rules for the operation of imperial power..."

"Farmers are just like a drop of water or a grain of sand. They have to be trapped by these all the time and rush forward involuntarily. They can only passively bear the good and the bad, gritting their teeth and enduring it!"

Damn thing, he already has some understanding of individual helplessness.

So we set up a rural village community.

Farmers turn a drop of water and a grain of sand into a stream and a stream of sand.

If anything, he hadn't seen through it before and seen the whole picture.

But the bastard strongly opposed it. He wanted to introduce squires into the rural village community plan, and even made harsh words. If he couldn't stop it, he would crash into Hongwu Gate and die.

At this time, he understood everything.

No matter what the bastard's original intention was in proposing rural village communes, he quietly stuffed a stick into the hands of farmers!

The reason why there is no opposition is that if the Tuqiao Village Village Community can really be built, he will spread it to the whole world.

It's because this stick does not harm the imperial power.

On the contrary, it is also conducive to the stability of imperial power.

Rural village cooperatives effectively resisted mergers and acquisitions by gentry economically.

Politically, the local government formed a tripartite situation of county officials, gentry, and farmers.

In places throughout the dynasties, there were actually only county officials and country gentry.

What is a farmer?

He has been a farmer and knows it deeply.

That is, in local politics and economy, they are ‘cattle’ who cannot speak and can only farm.

Occasionally, when I encounter a good official, he will stand on the side of the people and safeguard their interests.

Evil and corrupt officials will only collude with the squires.

But the rural village community was different. Once established, the economy and politics at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty were three pillars. The farmers were no longer a group of people who could be ignored and were only worthy of keeping their mouths shut and working the land.

Led by the government, the three parties check and balance each other in local politics and economy, and no one can dominate.

The people are the foundation.

The collapse of an imperial power.

It must have started with civil disorder.

The foundation among the people is stronger.

The upper echelon of the Ming Dynasty will be stronger!

"But a rural village community alone is not enough! We are your father, and we want to torment you. That is only natural and justified!"

"A son must obey his father. Whatever we ask you to do, you must do it!"

"Similarly..."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to want to say something more, and sighed, but did not say it.

Nearly a year of surveillance.

After confirming that this bastard really has no intention of competing for the heir apparent.

His mind has also undergone some changes, from the initial anger to the suspicion after calming down.

Then there are the recent continuous shocks.

He wanted to tame this bastard.

He also wanted to save this bastard, hoping that this bastard would obey his arrangements honestly.

"You bastard, just have fun secretly. You met such a responsible and good father like us. He hasn't given up on you yet and wants to save you..."

"Emperor"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were interrupted by the voice coming from outside the door.

"Enter!"

Squeak!

Mao Xiang pushed the door open, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the news just came back from Fengyang that Princess Qin is pregnant..."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his head, sat up straight, and asked with a surprised smile: "Seriously? How is their relationship as a young couple?"

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the second child went to Fengyang, he took Guanyin Nu with him.

But he has always suspected that the second child did this just to change the seal of Peking.

It is said that among the older married children.

The person who is least like him when it comes to his family is the bastard the second child!

It’s not good for the wife that the media is marrying!

Shame on you!

Mao Xiang also knew Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since Princess Qin went to Cituqiao Village, I don't know what Xu Daya talked about with her. Princess Qin has changed a lot."

"A change from the usual caution."

"In addition to being a good wife, if the King of Qin makes trouble unreasonably, the princess will dare to lose her temper... Hmm... How should I put it specifically..."

new

After Mao Xiang frowned slightly and thought, he smiled and said: "I can't describe it. Anyway, the current princess is very popular with King Qin."

"These are some daily records recorded by Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the folder handed over by Mao Xiang, opened it and glanced at it, and was immediately laughed out loud: "Shameless thing, people used to go along with him in everything and give him good looks, but he didn't like it."

"It's a good thing now. When people try to show off his face and show off his temper, he looks like a dog-skin plaster!"

"Why did we give birth to such a son!"

"Who are you following?"

Mao Xiang lowered his head, and when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's last murmur, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself: Your Majesty, think about it carefully, look in the mirror, and you will know who King Qin is following.

"deliver an imperial order!"

Hearing this, Mao Xiang was frightened, his thoughts stopped, and he hurriedly raised his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Change the fiefdom of King Qin to Beiping, and the title of King..."

"Forget it, the royal title will remain unchanged!"

"Ask the couple to come back immediately after receiving the order."

"I will go to deliver the order right away."

After accepting the order, Mao Xiang left and walked out of the imperial study. He frowned slightly and muttered: "The emperor changed the fiefdom for King Qin, why didn't he change the title of the king?"

…

The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, also known as the Grand Governor's Mansion.

The right governor, Li Wenzhong's official office.

Li Wenzhong looked at the details that the little eunuch had just delivered, and that Zhu Yuanzhang had given instructions and ordered to be executed.

Written in Zhubi.

The three red letters "Tuqiao Village" made Li Wenzhong frown and feel worried.

Tuqiao Village!

Although he does not get involved in court affairs, he still knows what Tuqiao Village means.

"What are you going to do, Your Majesty!" Li Wenzhong muttered, dumbfounded.

He turned to look at the clerk standing next to him, "Go and ask Governor Zuo, no, I'll go by myself."

"Captain, Governor Zuo seldom comes to the Governor's Mansion on weekdays. He has not come for a month recently." The clerk reminded him hurriedly.

Li Wenzhong's lips twitched and he slowly sat down.

Governor Zuo is Xu Da, the current eldest brother in the army.

Since becoming the Left Prime Minister, although the big brother also served as the Left Governor, he has stayed away from his affairs in order to avoid suspicion.

He was transferred back by His Majesty some time ago.

His Majesty's intention is very clear. He is to let him get acquainted with him in the position of right governor, take over as left governor, and take charge of the capital governor's house.

Well, after he comes back, Big Brother will completely ignore the affairs of the Governor's Mansion.

To say that among these proud and powerful generals, the one who knows how to "know how to advance and retreat" best is none other than this big brother.

When conquering the world, he has a fiery temper.

But since the founding of the country.

Don't fight for it, don't grab it, even push out what your Majesty gives you.

Seeing Li Wenzhong's frown, the clerk also knew that the right governor, His Majesty's nephew, had just been transferred back from the frontier to handle matters in the court and might not be used to it for a while. He reminded him in a low voice: "If the governor has something to discuss with others, You can find a Korean father."

Snapped!

Li Wenzhong slapped his forehead and ordered: "Go and invite him quickly."

Compared to Big Brother, he is not enthusiastic about power.

Korean Gong Li Shanchang is another opposite.

Extremely passionate about power.

Resigning as Prime Minister and going into seclusion was a sign that His Majesty wanted him to do so.

But a heart of power is always eager.

No.

He was appointed as the right governor. His Majesty was worried that he was not familiar with him, so he asked Li Shanchang to come to the governor's house to assist him without assuming any specific duties.

Li Shanchang immediately agreed.

The earliest to come and the last to leave every day!

His serious attitude and devotion to work are admirable.

"Right Commander."

Soon, Li Shanchang walked in wearing civilian clothes. When he saw Li Wenzhong, he smiled and clasped his fists.

Li Wenzhong hurriedly took Li Shanchang's hand and said, "Mr. Han Guo, in front of you, I am a junior. Please don't hurt me."

He pulled Li Shanchang to the side, asked Li Shanchang to sit down, and poured tea for Li Shanchang himself...

Li Shanchang looked at everything, raised his hand to stroke his beard, and asked with a smile: "Siben called me here, what are your orders?"

Hearing Li Shanchang change his cousin's name, Li Wenzhong raised his eyes, put down the teapot, and said with a smile: "I really have something that I need my military advisor to advise me on."

With that said, he turned around to get the fold and handed it to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang took it. After reading it, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I understand Siben's concerns. We don't need to guess what His Majesty's intentions are."

"Your Majesty's orders must also be implemented."

Li Wenzhong nodded while studying seriously.

Although Li Shanchang has many shortcomings.

But there is no doubt about his ability.

See, a few words set the tone first.

Next, it should be about specific problems and specific solutions, right?

"This section of the road within the pass, in the heart of our Ming Dynasty, will be a bit tiring and difficult at best, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"The most troublesome thing is that after passing Yuguan, although our military tentacles continue to encroach outside the pass every year."

"But after the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, bandits and remnants of the Yuan Dynasty over there gathered in the mountains and forests. Even within our consolidated territory, there was chaos."

…

Li Wenzhong kept nodding.

That's what he's afraid of.

Even if he was demoted to a commoner, Zhu Silang still bleeds royal blood, and Miaoyun girl was just pregnant.

If the team is in danger.

How could he explain to His Majesty, the Queen, Xu Da and others?

The emperor is a tormenter!

"Actually, it's easy to handle. I read the transfer order from the Governor's Mansion. In the near future, a group of guardsmen and horses will be recruited to replenish the defense outside the pass. Let Zhu Silang set off with this group of guardsmen soldiers transferred to the north."

Snapped!

Li Wenzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Just do what Mr. Han said."

Immediately, he ordered the officials: "Immediately send someone to Jiangning County, bring people from Jiangning County, and go to Tuqiao Village to pass the order to recruit corvees!"

"Escort the grain and grass northward and out of the customs!"

A new episode begins.

I have seen everyone’s opinions.

I really didn't expect that there would be so many people supporting it.

Thank you for your support, thank you!
