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

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun went to the threshing floor.

The villagers came out of their houses one after another and gathered together to discuss.

"Just now, Shiro's voice was so high. Did he quarrel with Daya?"

"Impossible! How could Shiro be quarreling with Daya? From what Shiro said, it seems that Daya's father is forcing Shiro again."

"Hmph, I went out with Fourth Brother this time. I really saw what Fourth Brother is capable of. Just wait and see, Fourth Sister-in-law and her father will definitely regret it!"

"Let me tell you, Da Ya's father is just confused! There are times when he regrets it!"

…

In the distance, Xu Miaoyun, who was hiding and eavesdropping, pinched Zhu Di angrily and amusedly, "Look, what Daddy is like in the hearts of the villagers."

"My father is the one who takes the blame. He is most unjust!"

Little cotton-padded jacket: Mom, what about me? And me? Am I not wronged?

Zhu Di pulled Xu Miaoyun with a smile, left quietly, walked farther away, and said with a smile: "I'm very sorry for Mr. Taishan. I can't help it."

"Master Taishan knows that he will definitely sympathize with me."

‘My father knows and wants to beat you! ’

Xu Miaoyun smiled and glared.

Zhu Di continued with a smile, "What's more, the old man's face-saving character will allow this matter to reach the ears of Lord Taishan?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"So, you can't betray me. Of course, in exchange, I will keep it secret and never tell Xiao Mianxiao about the things you let Xiao Mianxiao take the blame for."

"Seriously?" Xu Miaoyun turned her head, looked at Zhu Di with a smile, and stretched out her hand.

Zhu Di raised his hand and gave a high-five: "Seriously!"

"Deal!" Xu Miaoyun smiled brightly. This time she was not afraid that Little Cotton Jacket would find out in the future, and she had no psychological burden. She could force Little Cotton Jacket to take the blame for her.

Xu Da:......

Little cotton-padded jacket:......

…

After the young couple reached a deal, they did not consider the feelings of the two innocent people at all.

Walk happily to the threshing floor.

From a distance, Zhu Di saw three red cylindrical buildings standing on the edge of the threshing floor.

The three granaries are arranged in a zigzag pattern.

About one foot high.

Low sheds were built on top.

From a distance, it looks like a bunker. 𝟼𝟿𝚜𝚑𝚞𝚡.𝚌𝚘𝚖

"Silang, why is it designed like this? I always feel that the three granaries have the shadow of military defense." Xu Miaoyun asked a question that arose after the granaries were built.

She had also seen it when Shiro was designing the granary.

I didn't realize anything at the time.

But after the granaries were built, she discovered that the three granaries had traces of military defense.

Zhu Di quickly walked to the granary and looked at it carefully.

There are many small square holes the width of a brick on the wall of the warehouse next to the ground.

He put his hand into the small hole and groped upwards. At a height of about a foot, he felt the real back cover of the granary.

Reserve a foot at the bottom and leave ventilation holes around it to prevent moisture at the bottom.

The real bottom of the granary is one foot above the ground.

"I'll explain after I take you up." Zhu Di said with a smile when he saw a ladder set up in a granary next to him.

Then he carefully led Xu Miaoyun to the top of the warehouse.

The shed above was a bit short. When Zhu Di stood up straight, his head could almost touch the roof.

In the middle of the warehouse roof, there is a reserved opening for filling grain.

When grain is put into the warehouse, as long as the reserved opening is sealed, the grain will be preserved intact.

As for the grain leaving the warehouse, there is a sealable and removable grain outlet halfway up the granary.

Xu Miaoyun came up for the first time and took a general look at the top structure of the granary. He was quickly attracted by the sight he saw.

The village with smoke rising from the kitchens and the crowing of chickens and dogs barking is on the left, and on the right are large tracts of farmland with crisscrossing canals and sparkling waves...

"Shiro, stand here and look at our Tuqiao Village, it's so beautiful!"

"No wonder during this period, the aunts often go to the top of the warehouse together. When I ask them what they are doing, they always ignore what he says."

"Aunts, you must be here to see our village!"

"I guess this is also the first time for the aunts to see the whole picture of our village."

Although the mountains to the east have high terrain, they are blocked by dense forests and there is no such view at all.

Zhu Di smiled and hugged her from behind, "The aunts didn't dare to tell you because they were worried that you would be curious and want to come up. What if you bump into each other? So they hid it in good faith."

"This season is not the most beautiful yet. It will be most beautiful next summer when various crops are planted in the fields as planned and the crops grow lush and lush."

Xu Miaoyun raised her head and suggested with a smile, "When the time comes, bring your little cotton-padded jacket and come here at night to watch the stars, listen to the chirping of cicadas, and smell the fragrance of rice flowers in the wind..."

As I spoke, I couldn't help but picture that scene in my mind...

"I suddenly couldn't wait any longer."

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile, "Okay, wait until next year, choose a month full of stars and a moonlit night with a gentle breeze. I will bring you and Little Cotton Jacket here. I know this is Little Cotton Jacket's request through your mouth, not what you want. , the little cotton-padded jacket wants to..."

puff!

Xu Miaoyun leaned against Zhu Di's chest and couldn't help laughing. ♙♜

After a while, he stopped, blushed, and broke away from Zhu Di's arms. He glared and quickly changed the subject, "You haven't explained the design of the three granaries yet. Why are there traces of military defense?"

"This is a little self-protection method I have reserved for Tuqiao Village."

Zhu Di pulled Xu Miaoyun to the three Z-shaped granaries. On the inward side, he pointed to a large open space in the middle, "Is this open space big enough?"

"This space is enough to accommodate everyone in our village."

"The current situation is not normal. Go up the mountain to cut wood and connect the three granaries to form a strong camp!"

"Some of the young men are standing on the top of the warehouse to defend, and some of the young men are standing behind the three walls below to defend. Dozens of bandits and thieves cannot take this place at all."

…

Xu Miaoyun quickly understood Zhu Di's original intention.

The three granaries not only store grain, but also serve as an emergency dock when necessary.

The villagers fought here, and while guarding the granary, they also guarded the entire village!

Most of the time, this function of the three granaries is not used.

However, in the face of large-scale natural and man-made disasters, local order was chaotic.

new˙ɔoɯ

Or when the upper echelons of the imperial court are in turmoil and have no time to spare.

Local rogues, at times like this, would often take advantage of the loosening of official power to form gangs and rob, and gain benefits.

They did not dare to target the local squires, but often chose to harm the honest people.

There is such a dock in Tuqiao Village.

The folks will no longer be at the mercy of others!

Looking at Zhu Di from the corner of his eye, a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Will you go with me to teach the children this afternoon?"

"Um."

…

In the afternoon of that day, Zhu Di gave the children their first class after returning.

In the evening, after dinner, the two of them sat at the small table in front of the window.

Let’s make a little notebook together.

Then, Zhu Di said, Xu Miaoyun Ji. In the midst of laughter, the deceiving things Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu, and Zhu Neng had done were recorded one by one.

In the courtyard and in the cowshed, Dahuang and Xiaohei looked sideways at the silhouettes reflected by the lights in the windows.

The night grass doesn't seem to be fragrant anymore.

It had been a long time since they had seen the pair of silhouettes or heard the faint smiles and whispers of conversation.

…

royal palace.

Mao Xiang entered the palace in a hurry.

As he walked, he smiled and muttered: "Who did King Yan learn this from? He actually asked his father-in-law to take the blame. I don't know if the princess was angry at the time. If Wei Guogong knew, he would take the blame for the emperor, haha..."

(Little cotton-padded jacket: I learned this from my mother. My mother was very happy at the time. The two of them had reached a deal.)

(Xu Da:...)

Mao Xiang held back his laughter all the way to the outside of the imperial study. He took a deep breath, smiled gently, and after arranging his clothes, he solemnly said: "My lord, Mao Xiang, I would like to see you."

"Enter!"

When the voice came out, Mao Xiang's lips twitched, he suppressed his smile, pushed the door open and walked in.

When he came to the imperial case, he bowed, lowered his head, and held up the secret music in both hands, "Your Majesty, Zhu Silang is back. This is some news sent back by Feige, the Jinyi Guard of Tuqiao Village, about Zhu Silang's return. Something happened behind the village."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head when he heard the sound, rubbed his sore eyes, and ordered, "Read it to us."

Mao Xiang was so embarrassed that he died.

Some of the comments made by the villagers of Tuqiao Village about Wei Guogong Xu Da were actually comments about the emperor.

How dare he read it.

"Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang hesitating, frowned slightly, and reached out to take the secret music.

Mao Xiang immediately shrank his neck.

I was happy just now, but now I am nervous.

…

‘Your old man, if you go too far, let’s leave! ’

…

"Just wait and see, Fourth Sister-in-law's father will definitely regret it!"

"Da Ya's father is confused!"

"What a fool! He doesn't cherish such a good son-in-law. Sooner or later, he will regret it!"

…

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark as he watched.

The villagers of Tuqiao Village seemed to be commenting on their old brother, but they were actually talking about him!

The most unacceptable thing is that his condition was accurately predicted by a group of villagers!

yes!

After a year of observation, he did regret it.

But he just wanted to save it.

This bastard Lao Si actually had the idea of ​​leaving Daming!

This was accurately predicted by Xiuying again!

Snapped!

When the sound of clapping sounded, Mao Xiang, who had been prepared for it, fell to his knees.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked over when he heard the sound, and ordered angrily and funny: "The contents of this secret memorial must be banned by us, especially the Duke of Wei must not know it!"

‘Wei Guogong is so pitiful. ’

Mao Xiang muttered secretly, and responded hurriedly: "I have given a gag order to everyone who comes into contact with this secret message."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened a lot, he nodded, picked up the secret music and walked out.

Mao Xiang knew where Zhu Yuanzhang was going, but he still had something to report, so he hurriedly got up and caught up, "Your Majesty, there is another news that has not been confirmed."

"Zhou Lang, a government official in Jiangning County, who followed Zhu Silang to escort grain and grass outside the customs, mentioned to the county magistrate Jiang Jinzhong after returning to the county that Zhu Silang would take the childbirth examination next year."

Ever since Jiang Jinzhong, Zhou Lang and Zhu Di became very close.

Mao Xiang ordered Xiaoqi from Jiangning County to slowly approach the two men.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already reached the door of the imperial study.

Hearing the sound, he paused, frowned slightly, turned around and ordered: "Confirm this news as soon as possible, this is very important!"

Mao Xiang responded. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to leave again, he quickly added, "Your Majesty, Zhou Lang has decided to resign as the leader of Zaoban and go to serve as a soldier under Qiu Fu in Liaodong."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, "We understand."

After that, leave quickly.

call!

Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, "Fortunately, this Zhou Lang is too small to catch the eye of the emperor. The emperor did not suspect this. This is King Yan inserting his own people into the army."

Originally, he was quite worried that the emperor would be so jealous.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to Ma Xiuying's palace.

On arrival.

Ma Xiuying was taking off her makeup in front of the dressing table and getting ready to take a rest.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, he asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a dark face and waved the maid away.

Snapped!

The next second, he threw the secret music in his hand on the dressing table, "Look at the good things your son has done!"

"Siro is my son again?" Ma Xiuying was immediately laughed out of anger. If Siro does something that makes this man look good, he is his son.

Whenever you do something that makes him unhappy.

That's her son.

‘What did Shiro do again? ’

Out of curiosity, Ma Xiuying picked up the secret music...
