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

When the sun rises three poles high. ░░x░.░c░o░m░

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun arrived at the north gate of Jiangning County on horseback.

Zhu Di turned over and dismounted. When Xu Miaoyun followed and wanted to get off, he stopped him with a smile: "Don't get off, sit down."

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

Lead the horse into the city.

After walking for a while, I met several street patrol officers.

"Mr. Zhu." When several government officials saw Zhu Di, their faces were full of smiles and they ran over to say hello.

Although their officials are not big, their power is even more humble.

But his eyesight is so good!

Whoever is on duty at the county government knows that Zhu Silang of Tuqiao Village is a person that everyone in the county respects very much!

Look at that guy Zhou Lang again.

In the past, in front of these men, I had to nod, bend, and laugh along with them.

Just because of Mr. Zhu's advice, he suddenly became the leader of the soap class!

I also opened a very prosperous business called ‘Langlang Grilled Fish’ in the Chengdong Market!

Zhou Lang can do it, why can’t we men!

"Mr. Zhu, what are you..."

"Mr. Zhu, the county magistrate is holding a tax-included auction at Baizui Building..."

…

Several government officials rushed to express themselves in front of Zhu Di.

The road was blocked, and seeing more and more people looking this way, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Everyone, I took my wife into the city to see the doctor. I have something else to do."

"It turns out to be Mr. Xu!"

Several government officials quickly bowed to Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun didn't like this kind of flattery.

He forced a smile and nodded.

One of the yamen servants said first, "Mr. Zhu, there is a very famous Wangji Pharmacy in the West City, and the doctor is also a famous doctor in Jiangning."

"Thank you very much." After Zhu Di thanked him with his fists in his hands, he led his horse away.

"You two go and inform the county magistrate that Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu have come to the county seat." The leading man ordered: "Liu Er, follow me to the West City. Don't look away and disturb Mr. Zhu."

…

West Market.

The door of the drug store. ╰╮

Zhu Di tied the horse, came to the side, and reached out to help him.

Xu Miaoyun stretched out her hand, dismounted, and said with a smile: "Don't be so careful. It's as if I suddenly turned into a porcelain doll that will break at the touch of a touch."

"Isn't this happy?" Zhu Di said with a smile: "When I get over this fresh energy, I should feel much better."

Xu Miaoyun covered her mouth and smiled, rolling her eyes, "You are honest."

The two walked into the drug store chatting and joking.

Just when Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun entered the drug store.

The two government officials who reported the news also ran to Baizui Tower out of breath, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou..."

When the two government officials saw Zhou Lang greeting the squire and landlord inside, they hurriedly waved in a low voice.

Zhou Lang walked over.

"Brother Zhou, Mr. Zhu and his wife are entering the city..."

"Where? When did it happen?" Zhou Lang hurriedly asked before the yamen officer could finish speaking.

"Mr. Zhu went to Wangji Pharmacy in West City. Old Cao took Liu Er to protect him and asked us to come back and report to the county."

"I understand. Go to my grilled fish shop after your shift. Tell your sister-in-law what you want to eat or drink." Zhou Lang dropped a word and hurried to the front and middle table. Whisper a few words to Jiang Jinzhong who is chatting with the squire.

Jiang Jinzhong stood up hurriedly and apologized with a smile: "Dear fellow countrymen, I have something to do. I have to leave for a while and will be back soon."

After that, without waiting for others to speak, he took Zhou Lang and left in a hurry.

"What happened? Jiang Xianzun left in such a hurry?"

"I just heard the word Zhu."

…

"Ignore him, he's gone. Let's talk about the tax package through bidding. Jiang Jinzhong wants to be a powerful dragon in our Jiangning County!"

"Brother Ji, you are the one with the deepest background among us. Your sister is the wife of the housekeeper of Xiang Hu's family. As long as you take the lead in this matter, we will make it impossible for Jiang Jinzhong to do it!"

"We have to tell Fatty Jiang to get out of here!"

…

Among the squires at this table, there was a man in brocade. He was very different. He drank tea in a low-key manner and never participated in the discussion, but just listened silently.

Even the squire sitting next to him was very reserved.

Whenever others ask me about my attitude towards tax-included bidding.

This squire is always subtle. He first looks at the man in brocade clothes next to him, and then he says a few words cautiously and vaguely.

…

Wangji Pharmacy.

The sixty-year-old man sitting in the clinic finished taking his pulse and said congratulations with a smile: "Congratulations, your lady is indeed happy."

After getting confirmation from the doctor.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhu Di asked nervously: "How is my wife's health? Does she need any medicine for treatment?"

"Don't be afraid of spending money."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and rolled her eyes.

The old gentleman was sitting in the clinic. He had obviously seen something like this before. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your health is very good! I have been sitting in the clinic for so many years, but I have never felt such a strong pulse after a happy pregnancy."

"My lady must live in a very contented and happy environment."

"A person's heart will be rich, his body will be healthy, and he will live a long life."

Zhu Di smiled. No one likes to hear such kind words.

But Xu Miaoyun didn't realize that the doctor was deliberately being obedient in order to make them happy.

She is really satisfied with her current life.

Smiling slightly, he nodded to the old gentleman.

"Mr. Zhu!" Just as the two of them thanked the old gentleman and were about to pay the consultation fee, a surprised shout came from the door.

new

A fat man, so dark, occupied half of the door of the drug store.

Jiang Jinzhong walked over quickly, "I heard from the government officials that I saw Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu in the city. Mr. Zhu is sick..."

Zhu Di explained with a smile: "My wife is feeling a little unwell. Come..."

"What's wrong with you? Mr. Wang, please give Mr. Xu a good look. Use your ancestral faxing skills and use the best medicine!" Before Zhu Di could finish speaking, Fatty Jiang started shouting and greeting Zhang Luo.

The corners of Zhu Di's lips twitched.

He originally didn't want everyone to know about Miaoyun's pregnancy.

This Fatty Jiang...

Mr. Wang was obviously an acquaintance with Jiang Jinzhong and said with a smile: "Jiang County Sir, Mr. Zhu's wife is not sick, but she is happy."

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu!" Zhou Lang, who was following, was the first to recover, smiling and sending his sincere blessings.

‘No eyesight! ’

Jiang Jinzhong fell half a step, glared at Zhou Lang, turned around and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Zhu Di smiled and thanked you, then asked, "I heard from the Yamen servant that you are hosting a tax-packaged auction, so why do you have the time to come here?"

Jiang Jinzhong slapped his forehead and invited with a smile: "I'm here to invite Mr. Zhu to have a look."

Worried that Zhu Di would refuse.

Jiang Jinzhong took Zhu Di to a secluded place. He turned around and looked around to make sure no one could hear him. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhu, there are no outsiders now. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Yesterday I sent Zhou Lang to deliver the land deed." I went to Tuqiao Village just because I wanted to invite you to take charge."

"It's the first time I've done this, and I don't know what to do!"

"I'm afraid of emergencies. Those well-known local sages in Jiangning are closely related to Jinling City."

…

"It was Mr. Zhu who proposed the tax package for bidding. Mr. Zhu is definitely the best at dealing with emergencies."

Zhu Di smiled immediately.

It turns out that Fatty Jiang had this purpose.

He turned his head and looked at Xu Miaoyun, then said after a moment of thought: "Okay."

Anyway, we are all here in the county, so we can just take a look at the excitement.

The group left the drug store.

All the way to Baizui Tower.

"Mr. Zhu, there is a private room upstairs. I have prepared it. It is not noisy there and you can still see everything in the hall. Let Zhou Lang accompany you. If you need anything, Mr. Zhu can just tell Zhou Lang." Accompany Zhu Di Walking into Baizui Building, Jiang Jinzhong spoke very attentively.

"Everything is up to Mr. Jiang's arrangement."

…

In order to let Zhu Di sit in and make suggestions, Jiang Jinzhong was so attentive that he attracted the attention of the squires in the hall as soon as he entered the door.

"Hey! Who are those young people?"

"It turns out that Mr. Jiang County attaches so much importance to it!"

…

At the front and middle table, the very special man in brocade robes hurriedly lowered his head when he saw Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

Smiling bitterly, he whispered: Why are these two here?

…

In the private room.

Zhu Di sent Zhou Lang to help Jiang Jinzhong, and when only two of them were left, they sat down at the inward window.

Xu Miaoyun poured him tea and teased with a smile: "When I entered the house just now, I saw an acquaintance."

"An unexpected but reasonable person, you will definitely not guess it."

"Who? Where?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun raised her finger...

Zhu Di looked in the direction of Xu Miaoyun's finger and happened to see a face looking upstairs.

He immediately laughed and said, "It is indeed unexpected and reasonable. The commander of the Jin Yiwei personally came to act as a spy. It seems that my father attaches great importance to the tax-packaging auction, and he is not worried about sending ordinary Jin Yiwei."

While speaking, Zhu Di smiled and waved to Mao Xiang, who was looking around.

Mao Xiang smiled awkwardly.

"Dear fellow countrymen."

At this moment, Jiang Jinzhong appeared on the storyteller's stage set up in the restaurant, and said with a smile: "You must already know the purpose of inviting all the country wise people here this time."

"I'll just say a few words here." After saying "I'm the official," the smile on Jiang Jinzhong's face disappeared.

…

"In the future, while I am in Jiangning, this will be the system!"

“The tax package is auctioned on a village basis!”

“The one with the highest tax collection amount reported and the lowest one will be qualified for tax package!”

"Furthermore, while I was in Jiangning, the unfulfilled grains I selected belong to the people."

"Your objections are ineffective! Unless you use your connections to get me out of Jiangning!"

…

Jiang Jinzhong continued to speak cruelly.

Upstairs, Xu Miaoyun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Jiang Jinzhong is risking his life."

"This fat man has a bit of luck in his life, so he got it right." Zhu Di pointed at Mao Xiang with a smile, "Mao Xiang will definitely report to the old man everything about his performance today."

"Our old man likes officials like this."

"Do you think these three melons and two dates from Jiangning County, even if they have some connection with Jinling City, can drive away the people the old man values?"

"Look, the respectable squire is starting to quit!" Xu Miaoyun reminded.

Downstairs, the squires sitting in front stood up and left with dark faces.

Mao Xiang also got up, but when no one was paying attention, he quietly came upstairs.

Dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, Mao Xiang, would like to see you..."
