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

Chapter 77 Shiro, don’t you want Daya? go home! (First order required)

Zhu Yuanzhang stared eagerly and curiously. ✎♩

Mao Xiang thought for a while and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it rained for a few days during the removal period. I estimate that Zhu Silang should have earned more than a thousand taels..."

"What!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in surprise and looked at Mao Xiang with wide eyes, "Are you sure there are so many?"

Before, he really didn't pay attention to these, and his focus was not on making money.

Mao Xiang subconsciously shrank his neck and said conservatively: "It must be a thousand taels."

After getting a more accurate figure, Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth and muttered: "The heifer went to heaven, but he can't do it!"

As soon as the sound reached his ears, Mao Xiang couldn't help but cry.

Once again I couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Zhu Di.

He was very sure that the emperor would no longer be able to see His Highness Prince Yan.

At a certain moment, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, stared at Mao Xiang, and asked: "Did he pay taxes?"

coming!

Mao Xiang carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, it is temporary for farmers to cross the border to do business privately. The court has always turned a blind eye to such things, and there is no precedent for collecting taxes... If it is against Zhu It’s not impossible for Shiro to impose heavy taxes, but if word spreads, it may make the farmers uneasy and cause widespread criticism.”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Mao Xiang.

He had long noticed that Mao Xiang sympathized with the fourth child and spoke for the fourth child intentionally or unintentionally.

He didn't care much about this.

As long as Mao Xiang is not bribed by the fourth son, does not support the fourth son's seizure of the heir apparent, and maintains this bottom line.

What Mao Xiang said makes sense.

Although it is in line with the Ming Dynasty law to impose heavy taxes on Laosi, the majority of farmers who sneak across the border to do small business will be uneasy.

If there are too many criticisms and rumors and the influence on the court is too great, the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Forget it, you go to Jiangning County immediately. The comprehensive observation report is the most important. By the way, ask the Jin Yiwei next to him how he distributes the money." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and finally gave up the plan to impose taxes.

call!

Mao Xiang was secretly relieved and said hurriedly: "Yes!"

After receiving the order, he left in a hurry, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would change his mind again.

Mao Xiang left the imperial study and walked not far when he met Zhu Biao who was going to the imperial study.

"Meet the prince."

Zhu Biao looked at Mao Xiang, frowned and asked: "During this period, my father often summons you, is this something that happens with the fourth brother?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty wants the Jin Yi guardsmen around Zhu Silang to issue a comprehensive observation report on Zhu Silang before and after the green-skinned gangster incident." Mao Xiang did not hide anything from Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao frowned even more after hearing this, "Comprehensive observation report? What exactly does the father want to know?"

"I can't guess His Majesty's thoughts." Mao Xiang smiled helplessly.

If only he could guess.

Not to the point of being on tenterhooks.

Zhu Biao thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he said: "Commander Mao, go and get busy."

…

Mao Xiang rushed to Jiangning County at full speed.

Zhu Di gathered the villagers in the shed.

Wow!

Zhu Di poured the silver in the small bags onto the Datong bunk.

The villagers all looked puzzled.

Soon, the white and broken silver piled up into a 'hill'.

Zhu Di turned around, looked at the villagers, and said with a smile: "This is what we earned during the corvee period, a total of one thousand one hundred sixty-three two hundred and seven hundred Wen."

"I'll talk about the distribution plan. When I finish, if everyone doesn't agree, we can discuss it again."

"Shiro, what are you allocating! All this money should be yours..."

"Uncle Eighth, wait until I finish speaking." Zhu Di interrupted Uncle Eighth with a smile and stopped the others at the same time.

While counting the silver into a small bag, he said: "I am going to take out two hundred and twenty-three, two and seven hundred yuan as funds for running a school in our village."

"From now on, expenses such as buying books for the children will be spent from this money."

"Every time we spend money, Da Ya and I will list the detailed expenses and post them in the public temple for everyone to supervise."

…

After counting the money and putting it into the bag, Zhu Di raised his head and asked with a smile: "Uncles, do you agree with this decision?"

"agree!"

"The ones who study are all our children, so why should we disagree!"

"What's more, this money originally belongs to Shiro, but he supports the children's studies..."

…

Everyone raised their hands and expressed gratitude.

Zhu Di smiled, "Everyone agrees, then I will seal the bag."

Amid everyone's laughter, he carefully tied the mouth of the pouch tightly with rope.

Pointing to the remaining nine hundred and forty taels, he said: "The rest of the money, we and I will share it half and half, I will share 470 taels, and we will share 470 taels. Each of us can get ten taels." "

"no!"

"Yes, it's unfair!"

"Shiro, we can't take advantage of you like this!"

…

The villagers were all anxious and spoke one after another. ♦♜

The idea of ​​doing business and the idea of ​​grilling fish at a high price were all Shiro's ideas.

Everyone just played the drums to help and put in a little effort!

To put it bluntly, they are the long-term workers hired by Shiro. Is there a shortage of people on the river embankment?

When Shiro shouted, countless people broke their heads and rushed to work for Shiro.

Everyone’s psychological expectation is that a few hundred articles will satisfy everyone!

Just sell more fish than other villages.

Ten taels of silver! It’s hundreds of times what other villages earn from selling fish!

After working hard for ten years, I still can’t save ten taels of silver!

What's more, the funds for the village school are also spent on their children. In total, their share is more than Shiro!

Although it is exciting, no one can take it.

It’s heartless to do this!

Everyone in Tuqiao Village thought so.

Zhu Di also has his own ideas.

Indeed, if everyone is settled according to the labor compensation model and adds a little more money, the villagers will definitely be very satisfied.

new igh.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But in his opinion, this business is something everyone does together.

Everyone is a shareholder, not an employee.

Dividends should be based on contribution, not work remuneration.

Money can still be earned, but feelings in the countryside need to be managed a little bit.

For example, when they went out this time, the eighth aunt and the others patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, Shiro. With the aunt here, we will definitely not let Da Ya suffer any difficulties. The aunts can easily help Da Ya with tasks such as fetching water and mowing grass." .

This is nostalgia.

Hard to exchange for a thousand pieces of gold!

Zhu Di smiled, picked up ten taels of broken silver, and put it into the eighth uncle's hand first.

Uncle Eight struggled and shrank his hands: "Silang, we can't take so much, it's too hot to handle!"

"Uncle Eighth, hold on tight. Without the villagers uniting to help me, no matter how powerful I am, I won't be able to gain a foothold on the river embankment."

"From the beginning to the end, I didn't treat everyone as hired workers, but we did business as a partnership. The ten taels of silver were calculated based on everyone's contribution."

"Uncle Eight, take the lead."

Zhu Di looked at Uncle Eight seriously.

Uncle Eight took a deep look at Zhu Di, sighed with emotion, and continued.

Although he was illiterate, he had followed Chen Youliang in the rebellion, and he had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen anyone like Shiro and Da Yaxiao.

"Everyone, please take it." Uncle Eighth looked at everyone and said, "We refugees in Tuqiao Village must have met Shiro and Daya because of the smoke coming out of our ancestral graves."

Zhu Di couldn't help being amused.

Smiling and giving everyone a penny.

With Uncle Eight taking the lead, no one refused this time.

Soon, the money distribution was over, and Zhu Di smiled and said: "The corvee was successfully completed, and everyone is healthy and safe."

"I also have money in hand, and I definitely want to buy something for my children and elderly people at home."

"Right?"

"Yes!" Everyone responded with a smile.

He came out to serve this year because Shiro was here and he was fast. Not to mention he went home early and made money that he couldn't save in ten years.

Of course you have to buy something to take home, your mother-in-law, parents, and children will definitely be happy for a long time!

Zhu Di smiled and continued: "Then let's pack up and go to Jiangning City to buy things first."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone quickly started packing.

At the same time, clean up the shed.

It’s okay not to clean it up.

But this is the shack that Tuqiao Village has lived in, and it represents the face of Tuqiao Village. If it is not cleaned up, it will be a loss to the collective face of Tuqiao Villagers.

…

With money in their pockets and wind on their feet, a group of people arrived at the gate of Jiangning County.

Zhu Di looked at everyone and explained: "We will still gather here in the afternoon."

"Don't drink. It's best to go together with three or two people. If something happens, just go to the Yamen and report Zhou Lang's name."

The villagers each carried ten taels of silver, and he was really worried that everyone was being watched.

Uncle Eight suppressed his voice and whispered with a smile: "Silang, don't worry, the folks only have a piece of broken silver outside, and the other silver is hidden..."

puff!

Zhu Di looked at the downward direction of his eighth uncle's finger and suddenly laughed out loud.

He had also hidden money in that place.

But those are paper money.

The money everyone has now is silver!

"Hiding in this place won't hurt anyone?" Zhu Di asked jokingly.

hey-hey……

The villagers immediately laughed from the corners of their mouths to their ears.

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "Okay, that makes me feel relieved. In short, if you encounter something, just call the patrol officer on the street and report Zhou Lang's name. Let's take action!"

Immediately, a group of people, smiling happily, poured into the city under the surprised gazes of the people entering and leaving the city.

…

Afternoon.

Zhu Di left the city carrying a bulging bag that was almost over his head.

"Shiro!"

"here!"

…

As soon as I came out, there was a shout from the shade of the trees on the side.

The folks are already waiting.

Everyone’s baggage is bulging.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, the purchasing power of one tael of silver was still very strong.

Zhu Di looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Are you sure? Set off now? If we set off now, we will have to walk at night and we won't get home tomorrow morning."

"Sure!"

"I don't want to stay any longer. No matter how good I am when I go out, it's not as good as being at home."

"Silang, what did you buy for Daya?"

"Silang, I don't believe it. Don't you want Da Ya?"

"Shiro just got married, so he definitely wants to go home more quickly than we do!"

"Ha ha……"

…

Facing everyone's banter, Zhu Di couldn't help but blush slightly.

Why don't you want to!

After he goes back, he will hold Da Ya and sleep for the whole day!

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhu Di shouted with a smile, and a group of people packed up their bags, with long shadows behind them, chatting and laughing and headed towards Tuqiao Village.

City head.

Mao Xiang hid in the city tower, watching a group of people chatting and laughing as they walked away. He couldn't help but smile, "King Yan lives a more comfortable, free and happy life than us, who are chasing people in the power field."

Xiao Qi beside him rolled his eyes and whispered: "But I no longer have the pampering of the past. I have to do everything myself. I really don't know what King Yan is thinking."

"Your Majesty is still worried, and he asked us, the Imperial Guards, to keep an eye on him at all times."

Mao Xiang glared at Xiao Qi angrily, "Let's go, Your Majesty is still waiting for this comprehensive observation report!"

After saying that, he took his small group of towers, ran in the opposite direction to Zhu Di and others, and rushed towards Jinling City...
