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

"Silang, Zhou Yamen!" Uncle Yang's face was a little serious, and he came closer to remind in a low voice. ♢♢

Zhu Di nodded calmly.

He had noticed it already.

The distance between the two sides is close.

Zhou Yamen took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, we meet again."

"Zhou Yamen." Zhu Di smiled and chatted with Zhou Yamen, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man. At least the other party did not show any signs of revenge or torture.

"Mr. Zhu, my name is Zhou Lang. You can just call me by my name." After Zhou Yamen introduced himself with a smile, he looked at the other villagers in front of him and lowered his voice, "Mr. Zhu, I am responsible. Command everyone to help Tuqiao Village find an easy job."

Hearing that Yamen Zhou wanted to take care of everyone, the young people around him instantly beamed with joy.

Zhu Di shook his head with a smile and thanked: "We appreciate the kindness, and we can't cause you any trouble. Just treat everyone equally."

"I may cause you more trouble in the future."

With that said, Zhu Di took out three pennies from his sleeve and quietly handed it to Zhou Yamen.

Bribery is definitely wrong.

But the environment in Ming Dynasty is just like this.

If you want to live more comfortably, you must learn to blend into the environment.

After all, he is a farmer.

"Mr. Zhu, you are slapping me in the face!" Zhou Lang pushed Zhu Di's hand back, patted his chest and said, "Mr. Zhu, if there is anything you need me to do, as long as I can do it, I promise to help!"

He has a creed as a man.

Don’t do anything that is too unconscionable.

Scholars cannot be offended!

to avoid retaliation.

I will never charge you for helping readers! As long as it can leave a good impression in the minds of readers.

Zhou Lang said a few words and left.

Zhu Di looked at Zhou Lang and couldn't help but be a little surprised. This man still had some merits.

"Fourth brother, Zhou Yamen is willing to take care of us, why do you turn him down?" A young man from the same village asked depressedly, interrupting Zhu Di's thoughts.

Zhu Di came back to his senses and looked at all the young people and some elders with puzzled and disappointed faces.

He smiled and said, "The villages that Zhou Yamen hired are all villages near our Tuqiao Village. ♦♢"

"Your wives are from these villages, right? I saw you were greeting them just now."

"From now on, weddings in our village will most likely be held in these surrounding villages."

"Yu Zhou takes care of us as a kindness."

"But what will the folks in other villages think when they see us being taken care of and doing easy and not tiring work?"

snort!

Uncle Eight snorted coldly and stared at the young man coldly, "The folks in other villages don't dare to resent Zhou Yamen, but they will be jealous and resent us!"

"If we don't have good relations with neighboring villages, our Tuqiao Village will be isolated!"

"In the future, your girls will not marry?"

"The boy doesn't want a wife anymore?"

"Shiro is thinking about you!"

"When you go out, you don't want to take advantage of anything!"

"There are some advantages. If you take advantage of them now, you will suffer big losses in the future!"

Many elders lowered their heads.

The young man smiled coquettishly, "Fourth brother, we were wrong. From now on, wherever you point, we will fight!"

Zhu Di smiled, but did not dare to respond to this.

Let the Jinyi Guards report to the old man.

Old man, you might be getting suspicious again.

Soon, Zhou Yamen led everyone to a badly damaged river embankment.

The river embankment was already piled with stones.

Zhou Lang stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "Dear villagers, before you are recruited, the people near the county have completed their corvee tasks."

"These stones were brought here by them."

"Your job is to carve flat surfaces out of these stones."

"Renovate this damaged river embankment."

…

Zhou Lang briefly explained how to do it, pointed out the subcontracting areas of several villages, and left it alone.

Zhu Di began to assign tasks according to the villagers' expertise, age, and physical strength.

He has been in the village for several months, and he knows everything about the villagers' skills and physical conditions.

Zhou Lang has been secretly observing Zhu Di...

Seeing Zhu Di and others, not only did they move in an orderly manner, but also faster, he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Thankfully I didn't offend Zhu Silang! These scholars are so powerful, you really can't offend them!"

…

The sun is getting higher. ░▒▓██▓▒░

At noon.

Everyone began to eat and rest one after another.

Serving as a corvee can be more tiring than doing farm work.

During the corvee period, would you like to have a warm meal with soup and water?

Want to take a nap in the shade and rest?

Beautiful thought!

While everyone was eating, Zhou Lang stood on the river embankment and shouted a reminder: "Other villages should learn more from Tuqiao Village. If you don't understand, just ask Mr. Zhu of Tuqiao Village."

"Tuqiao Village does things faster and better than you, you must have seen it!"

"There are only so many subcontracted tasks. If you finish them early, you can go home early!"

With that said, Zhou Lang walked along the gentle slope of the river embankment, came to sit next to Zhu Di, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, if people from other villages come to ask for advice, I hope you will not hesitate to guide us."

Zhu Di nodded in agreement.

Repairing it quickly will also be beneficial to Tuqiao Village.

He broke off half of the pancake in his hand and handed it to Zhou Lang, "If you don't mind, eat some."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. Mr. Xu must have made this for Mr. Zhu himself. It is a lifetime honor for a rough man like me to eat pancakes made by a teacher." Zhou Lang hurriedly wiped his hands and took the pancake. .

He stood up and said, "Mr. Zhu, wait a moment!"

After a while, he returned with a food box.

He took out several plates with dishes and a low-quality wine flask.

"Mr. Zhu, this is the meal provided by the county government for us Baopian government servants. You can also eat it." Zhou Lang handed the chopsticks to Zhu Di diligently.

He himself took a thin branch and broke it into two pieces to use as chopsticks.

Zhu Di is not polite either...

After meal.

Zhu Di saw the villagers approaching, and seemed to be afraid of the Zhou Yamen beside him, so he did not dare to come over, so he waved to the villagers.

"Mr. Zhu, I'll go up there first. If you need anything, just call me." Zhou Lang said with a smile.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhou Lang.

This guy is a typical person who watches people play.

He has some merits, but his shortcomings are also very obvious.

A poor government official has a strong sense of superiority in front of the villagers.

It seems that it is very shameful to contact the villagers, and the villagers are not worthy of his contact.

"Don't you listen, Zhou Yamen? You will participate in corvee work like this every year. If the section you are responsible for does it well and quickly, it should be very helpful to you."

This time he came into contact again, and the other party gave him a pretty good impression.

Although that self-righteous sense of superiority is very annoying.

But this is human nature.

If it were other common people who became government servants and had official status, it would most likely be the same.

This person is not too bad.

His status in the county government is higher and his influence is greater.

It's better than those beasts that are roaming around every village with their mother-in-law!

The most important thing is that the other party is the Baopian Yamen of Tuqiao Village. Good sales and good relations will be good for him and the people of Tuqiao Village.

After being reminded, Zhou Lang wanted to slap himself.

But no, if you learn how to do it, you can imitate it in the future. If you do it well, the county magistrate will appreciate it.

His status in the county government is high!

"Mr. Zhu, thank you, thank you, you are my benefactor!" Zhou Lang clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude.

Zhu Di smiled and began to explain to the villagers who came to ask for advice how to reasonably allocate tasks based on factors such as expertise, physical strength, and age.

In fact, it is a matter of coordination.

Very simple.

Many times, if there is no division of labor and coordination, everyone is afraid that they will suffer a loss. If fellow villagers in the same village are not united, it will be difficult to organize.

Zhu Di's main problem is to explain the fairness of various division of labor arrangements.

…

Some villages even directly invited Zhu Di to help.

After construction started, the effects were quickly apparent.

The speed of all villages has increased a lot.

The sun hangs in the west.

It's approaching evening.

Except for Zhu Di, everyone was panting from exhaustion and had reached the limit of what their bodies could bear.

Beep!

Zhou Lang blew the bamboo whistle and shouted: "Everyone did a good job. We're here today and get off work!"

"It's time to get off work!"

“This day, I’m finally done and I can rest!”

…

Zhu Di put down the stone, stood up and looked at the villagers lying on the ground, talking happily,

A few young people in the village who were still energetic ran to Zhu Di and said impatiently: "Fourth brother, tell us whether we caught any fish in our fishing basket."

"So hungry!"

"Yes, this corvee really consumes too much food. I feel like my belly is touching my back."

“I don’t need to be able to catch a lot, just be able to cook a pot of fish soup!”

…

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Then let the uncles have a rest, let's go back and take a look, and cook by the way."

"become!"

"Listen to Fourth Brother!"

…

Zhu Di, Uncle Ba and others exchanged a few words with each other and then led a few young people to the river embankment.

Zhou Lang was waiting above. When he saw Zhu Di coming up, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhu, thank you very much for your advice today."

"I have nothing to repay. I would like to invite Mr. Zhu to my home for a casual meal."

Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand: "I won't bother you anymore. If you really want to thank me, don't embarrass the fellow villagers when you go to our village in the future."

"We have to rush back and cook for everyone."

Zhou Lang looked regretful, then patted his chest and promised: "Mr. Zhu is my nobleman, and the villagers of Tuqiao Village are Mr. Zhu's fellow villagers, and they are my fellow villagers!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

After a few brief greetings and farewells, we quickly hurried back with a few young people from the same village who couldn't wait...

Zhou Lang stared at Zhu Di's back, shook his head in confusion and muttered: "A scholar who is so capable, why does he want to hang out with a bunch of mud-legged people?"
