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

Chapter 217 Recruiting talents, Lu Ben has delusions, Zhu Yuanzhang is envious

Send the old man away. new

Zhu Di came to Xia Shimin and his wife's room.

Xia Shimin was reading a book. When he saw Zhu Di, he stood up quickly and said, "Brother Zhu Xian."

"Brother Xia, let's not engage in the red tape of scholars at home. In fact, I really hate it."

Ha ha……

Xia Shimin smiled heartily, and the three of them sat down again.

Xia Shimin and his wife looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Xia is anxious to return home?"

The couple looked at each other.

Xia Shimin smiled and said, "We have already vacated the house we rented in Jinling City, and we plan to return to our hometown after visiting Brother Zhu Xian."

They dared not delay any longer.

Living in Jinling is not easy.

Give Zhu Xiandi the money he earns from copying books, and write some letters to others on the way. As expected, he will be able to return to Xiangyin with more money.

Zhu Di hesitated and got straight to the point, "I won't beat around the bush with Brother Xia. I wonder if Brother Xia has considered staying in Yingtian..."

He has been gone for several months.

Miaoyun also has to take care of two little ones.

Although the mother would come over later, she was too busy to concentrate on teaching the children.

In the future, the old man might ask him to do this or that.

You cannot study for three days and fish for two days.

The children called him and Miaoyun master and master, and they had to be responsible for the children.

"Miaoyun and I would like to ask Brother Xia to teach at Tuqiao Village School. How about five taels of silver a year? I wonder if Brother Xia and sister-in-law can stay?"

"Of course, if Brother Xia is willing to settle in Tuqiao Village, he will be a member of our rural village community. He will not only receive remuneration, but also receive dividends."

Xia Shimin and his wife looked at each other in surprise.

Stay in Tuqiao Village.

This proposal came so suddenly that they were flattered.

With the construction of a local village community in Tuqiao Village, anyone with a discerning eye can see that good times are just around the corner.

Not to mention these.

They care more about Wei Zhe and Yuan Qi.

Through contact, these children in Tuqiao Village are very good. The two Weizhe brothers have benefited a lot from being together with a group of outstanding peers.

And staying in Tuqiao Village, Wei Zhe and Yuan Qi can still accept the teachings of Zhu Xiandi and his wife.

Meng's mother moved three times.

Don’t you just want your children to have a good educational environment?

"Brother Zhu Xian, I think it's better to use remuneration. We joined your Tuqiao Village halfway. If we don't own the land, we will get dividends. The villagers will feel uncomfortable..."

Xia Shimin didn't want to take advantage. ♤

Five taels of silver a year, plus the court's subsidies for scholars, were enough for their family of four to live for a year.

If you serve as a lecturer in a school, you basically don't need to spend money to study.

That's enough.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Brother Xia, don't have any worries. The folks in our village are definitely willing to let you join. Your knowledge is equity!"

Uncle Eight and the others will definitely agree.

He is also sure to convince the villagers.

Xia Shimin is definitely an outstanding talent of this era, from character to talent.

If Tuqiao Village does not grasp this kind of talent, it will be a huge loss.

In the future, rural village communities will spread all over the world.

Some far-sighted village communities will definitely take the initiative to recruit and compete for scholars like Xia Shimin, who are excellent in both character and academics, and have passed the examination to become scholars, but their lives are relatively poor and downcast.

With a little dividend, you can let a scholar teach his children to read, and you won't lose anything.

What's more, small economies like rural village communities can support scholars like Xia Shimin to become officials, and can also give them a voice in court.

When an economy develops to a certain level, this will definitely happen

Isn’t that what a country squire is today?

Every group has a voice channel, so that the interests will not flow completely to one place, and the whole world can have a basically fair side.

Xia Shimin and his wife looked at each other, stood up, and said gratefully: "Brother Zhu Xian, if the villagers are really willing to accept us, we are willing to join the local village community of Tuqiao Village."

"Since Brother Xia has concerns, let's go to the ancestral hall to hold a village meeting now."

…

Just as Zhu Di judged.

For more than a year, the village has been running schools and building local village communities, and the villagers have also gone to the north.

Everyone’s vision is already different from the past.

What's more, Xia Shimin is still a scholar, and Zhu Di recognized and recommended him.

After Zhu Di proposed it, the villagers supported it one after another.

…

evening.

After meal.

Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di, each holding a little guy, walked around on the ground to coax the two little guys to sleep.

Xu Miaoyun chuckled softly: "Unexpectedly, the villagers agreed to the Xia family joining Tuqiao Village without much hesitation."

"I can see that the resolution of this village meeting and your prestige are not the main factors for Uncle Ba and others to agree to the Xia family joining Tuqiao Village."

This just proves that rural communities are maturing.

Without relying on one person's prestige, villagers can make more correct judgments, vote and make collective decisions. This is the ultimate goal of a rural village community. ൠ

This is what Shiro hopes.

Zhu Di looked at the sleepy little Qihua crawling on his arm and smiled, "After more than a year and so much, everyone's vision is no longer the same. I can predict that the rural community will push it forward." After the world is over, some foresighted village communities will definitely compete for scholars like Brother Xia, who are both good in character and academics, but live a relatively poor life. They will support these people, become officials, and speak out for them."

…

Xu Miaoyun's eyes lit up.

Be keenly aware of the chain reaction that will occur if this happens.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh, "Other village communities will follow suit. In a few years, there will be a group of people like Brother Xia in the court who speak out for the local village communities. This piece of fat in the world will be It won’t be monopolized by any one group.”

If Shiro does this, he will be hated by others in the future.

There must be someone who will stir up trouble and sow discord in front of the father.

The queen mother thought of all this for Shiro.

"Shiro, do you know what the queen mother said to me today?"

Zhu Di looked up...

"The queen mother said: She knows that accompanying Xiongying to Liaodong this time, my father is testing you..."

Zhu Di was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother would think so long-term for him and the old man.

"When you go back to Liaodong, do you want to arrive before Brother Qiu and his men launch their summer offensive?"

】

When Zhu Di came back to his senses, he saw Xu Miaoyun's worried face, smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, I will protect myself."

Since we are going to Liaodong, we must rush before the summer offensive.

Qiu Laoer and the others are playing with fire this time in order to pass on the national jade seal.

Although Xu Miaoyun was worried in her heart, she still nodded with a smile. Shiro had to go on a long trip and had to take care of Xiongying. He could no longer be distracted by worrying about them. "It would be a good thing if Xiongying returns to Liaodong and can really find the national jade seal..."

…

Just as Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were chatting in low voices.

Next to the hall.

In the room of Xia Shimin and his wife.

Xia Yuanji still couldn't believe it. Before going to bed, he came to ask: "Father, do we really want to stay in Tuqiao Village? In the future, I can study with Dongxu and the others, and I can also call Shishu and Auntie, master, and aunt." Master’s wife?”

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

Xia Shimin nodded, "Yes, but before we save enough money to build a house, we have to move to the ancestral hall. Are you willing?"

Although Zhu Xiandi let them live at home.

After discussing with his wife, he decided to decline.

Of course it's good to live in Zhu Xiandi's house. The living conditions are good and the food is good.

But they are a family. If a family wants to live well, they must first stand up and rely on others blindly. They cannot set a good example for their children.

Xia Yuanji nodded, "I am willing to live anywhere as long as I can stay in Tuqiao Village. The house in the ancestral hall is also very good."

"Go to bed and take care of your eldest brother." Liao Miaoxian urged with a smile.

…

Lu Mansion.

"What!"

Li Shanchang stood up and stared at Lu Ben in disbelief, "Brother Lu, Emperor Zhu really wants Zhu Silang to accompany the emperor's grandson to Liaodong? After returning, he will also hand over the emperor's grandson to Zhu Silang for instruction?"

Lu Ben nodded.

Li Shanchang's heart was overturned, he was in a daze, and he slowly sat down.

"Brother Baishi, I hope you only need to know this news. Even Prime Minister Hu can't tell it." Lu Ben warned.

Although Li Shanchang's idea cost him fifty times.

But he understands.

Li Shanchang did not expect that the emperor would be so keen.

As for why he was willing to share such top-secret information with Li Shanchang.

In the final analysis, it was because of the words of the eldest son Lu Zhao.

Those words are like the devil, making people unable to help but want to move.

There's nothing he can do now.

But he wanted to try to make friends with Li Shanchang.

The first prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, his disciples and old officials are all over the world.

The relationship with Huaixi Wuxun is even more good.

…

Li Shanchang came back to his senses and looked at Lu Ben secretly. He couldn't figure out why Lu Ben told him such confidential information.

But he knew that this news must have come from the crown prince's concubine.

No wonder the emperor took the emperor's grandson to Tuqiao Village today.

Going to Liaodong was a test for Zhu Silang.

He didn't trust Zhu Silang, but at the same time, his trust in Zhu Silang became deeper and deeper, and he even dared to hand over the emperor's grandson to Zhu Silang.

Extreme test.

Once passed, there is unlimited trust!

Zhu Silang's rise is becoming increasingly clear.

What role should he play in it, and what benefits can he get.

…

After thinking anxiously for a while, Li Shanchang gathered his thoughts and solemnly promised: "Brother Lu, please don't worry, I will never reveal even a single word to the second person."

This kind of news is terrible.

It must not be spread casually.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to get any confidential information from Lu Ben.

This information channel can save lives at critical moments!

…

Come out of Lu Mansion.

When getting on the carriage.

Li Shanchang raised his head and looked at the starry sky, "The situation is changing so fast. A year ago, Zhu Silang was still under close surveillance. Now he has become more and more the emperor's favorite. Tomorrow morning, I'm afraid many people's eyes will be on them." It’s going to shatter all over the ground.”

…

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang soaked his feet and said to himself, "It feels so good to take a bath. I wonder what it would be like to have a son or daughter wash my feet in person."

As he spoke, he secretly looked at Ma Xiuying sitting in front of the dressing table.

Ma Xiuying knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to express, so she ignored him and laughed secretly, saying, "No wonder I drove Mingxia away tonight and insisted on washing her feet myself." ’

A punch to the cotton.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt particularly uncomfortable. He glared and asked, "The fourth son was washing your feet. Tell us how you felt at that time."

‘Is it okay to share your feelings with us? ’

puff!

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but laughed out loud.

He put down the comb, turned around, and said with a smile: "How can I describe that feeling..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared eagerly. Seeing that Ma Xiuying stopped talking again, he urged: "You should say it!"

Ma Xiuying glared angrily and amusedly, "I'm just very happy, and my heart feels very sweet. I feel that all the hard work in this life has been worth it..."

"do not talk!"

At a certain moment, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him with a dark face, "We are having a conflict with him, and you are a good person in the middle, and all the benefits will be taken by you alone!"

"You've been eating the food he cooked for a month. We went there today and couldn't find anything. The food cooked by Mao Xiang is so unpalatable."

"I even wash your feet, bastard. I don't know if you're lucky enough."

Ma Xiuying stood up with a smile and walked to the couch, "You are the one who wants to hear it, you are the one who is envious, jealous, and angry."

"Did I ask you to throw the fourth child to Tuqiao Village? Did I ask you to spy on and torture the fourth child? This is all your fault."

After saying that, Ma Xiuying lay down...

For a while, no sound was heard.

Turning around, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's feet wiped clean, sitting at the table with a black face, sulking alone, and reminded with a smile: "It's very late, and tomorrow we will announce in front of the court that Xiongying and the fourth son will go to Liaodong, there will be opposition. It will be huge..."

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the case, stood up, and said with a black face, "We are so angry tonight, we just want to see who will hit the tip of our spear tomorrow morning!"

"Blow out the lights and go to sleep!"

After finishing her words, she gave Ma Xiuying a slap in the face and stopped talking.

Ma Xiuying smiled, covered Zhu Yuanzhang with a quilt, and blew out the lights.
