Xie Kai is related to Xu Jinda's wife, Mrs. Xie.

Speaking of which, Lao Zhu also took a fancy to Xie Kai's reputation and ability in Ji'an Mansion.

However, he was also severely cheated by the Xie family, which was the most painful betrayal since the founding of Daye.

Xie Zaixing, Xu Jinda’s father-in-law.

His eldest daughter married his nephew Zhu Wenzheng, and his second daughter was Xu Jinda's wife.

The Battle of Boyang Lake was also related to him.

Back then, he had a chance to kill Zhang Cheng, but because of Xie Zaixing, Zhang Cheng escaped and left behind the armed forces, which are still destroying Daye's coastline.

Now, Xie Zaixing is still serving as his duke in Zhang Zhou, and Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred towards Zhang Zhou and Chen Han is not even as strong as towards him.

As for Xie Kai, it was more or less because of this incident that he refused to become an official in the court and peacefully taught and educated people in Ji'an Prefecture. He was very honest.

Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, I know!"

Seeing his father's fame spread far and wide, Xie Jin felt proud inside.

This time he came to the capital for a study tour, and he came to seek refuge with his aunt of the same race.

He thought of his uncle, whom he had never met before, and felt confident in his heart, "Please lead the way, I can't wait to scold King Wu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, but Wang Gouer beside him glared at him.

Yang Xian also shook his head secretly. This young man doesn't know how high the sky is and how high he is.

Xie Kai is a small and cautious person, but his son is so overt. If he doesn't restrain himself in the future, he may bring disaster to the Xie family!

"You are so courageous!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Today, the Holy Emperor rules from the top of the throne, but he cannot control the opinions of the people. Even if the emperor does something wrong, he will be scolded. Why can't a mere prince be scolded?" Xie Jin said firmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was a little strange. He didn't know for a moment whether the boy was scolding him or praising him.

It seems that his image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"It makes sense. If the emperor scolds him, then the prince can scold him too!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, changed the topic, and asked him about the public security and people's livelihood issues in Ji'an Mansion.

Xie Jin was unambiguous. Not only did he explain it in detail, he also included his own opinions.

Zhu Yuanzhang admired him. This guy was very arrogant, but he was really capable.

His father is not in the imperial examination. This boy is young. If he can work hard for a few years, take the imperial examination, get a good rank, and then work in the imperial court in the future, he can leave it to the boss.

Xie Jin said with a dry mouth, "Didn't you say you wanted to take me to find the King of Wu? You've already come to the north of the city. Is the King of Wu here?"

Even on a sunny day, the streets in the north of the city exude an indescribable stench, and the dark alleys are filled with mud, mixed with grain cycle things, which is extremely disgusting.

"Yes, he is right here!" Zhu Yuanzhang certainly couldn't run away in vain. Before leaving the palace, he had someone find out Zhu Jun's location.

He didn't notify Zhu Jun either. The main thing was to take things by surprise.

Xie Jin suddenly regretted following this person, but Haikou had already boasted, so he was not afraid.

Under the bright sky and there are so many people here, do they still dare to commit murder on the street?

Moreover, when he announced his family status, it was not without a trace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the environment in the north of the city and his heart sank. This situation was three points worse than what Zhu Jun said.

This is true on sunny days, but what about rainy days?

In this kind of environment, let alone living, even food is hard to eat.

Wang Gouer followed behind with a squeak, cursing in his heart, "Damn Madman Zhu, why did you come so far for nothing?"

He looked carefully at his feet.

Afraid of stepping on something unknown.

Soon, the group of people arrived at a construction site.

A circle has been set up outside the construction site, and warning signs have been pasted on them. They are very eye-catching. Even illiterate people will subconsciously avoid them when they see the big red characters.

In the circle, thousands of workers were either removing tiles from the roofs or smashing walls. Some used wheelbarrows to transport the mud blocks, dump them on the ground, and compact the ground.

There are very few bricks, and most of the people in the north of the city are poor. How many people can afford to live in a blue brick house?

Even if there was one, it would be a small courtyard built with blue bricks to support the scene. This is already one of the best houses in the north of the city.

They are generally clay houses, made of wood.

The bricks were picked out and set aside for later use.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "He knows how to save!"

I just looked around, why didn't I see Zhu Jun?

"Old gentleman, where is the King of Wu?" Xie Jin was already a little impatient, "If I don't see the shadow of the King of Wu, I will leave!"

"Why are you in a hurry? We're already here, just wait a minute!" Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the entrance of the fence and was about to go in. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the people guarding the door. "No one is allowed to enter here. Only people inside the project can enter." Enter!"

"Why?"

The gatekeeper saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was well-dressed and knew that he was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he said patiently: "Sir, there is construction going on here, and it is very dusty. His Highness King Wu has specifically stated that no idlers are allowed to wait. Go inside to avoid injury.

Secondly, there are some people with unclean hands and feet who always want to come in and steal things. Although this is a place where Kuhaha gathers, it is inevitable that some useful objects will be left behind.

Look at the blue bricks stacked over there. If you steal them and sell them, you can make a little money!"

"This boy is quite attentive!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, and then saw the hat woven with rattan armor on the gatekeeper's head, "Why does everyone equip you with this hat?"

"What you don't know is that His Highness is kind-hearted and is afraid that we might get hurt, so he asked those skilled craftsmen to knit this lightweight and durable hat early on." When talking about this, the gatekeeper looked full of admiration, " Ordinary people who hire me will not care about this!"

Xie Jin was also slightly moved, "Are you hired? Are you paid?"

"Of course I'm hired. If I want to have lunch, it's thirty cents a day.

If you don't have lunch, it's thirty-five cents a day.

However, most of them would choose to have a meal, because the food contains meat and fish, and they are usually reluctant to eat it.

We have a dedicated gentleman who calculates our wages, which can be paid daily or monthly.

When we work for King Wu, we can rest assured and don’t have to worry about deducting wages at all!”

"Thirty-five cents a day, how long will it take?"

"Four hours!" said the gatekeeper: "His Highness requires us to dismantle this area within a month. If we do it one day earlier, we will receive an extra day's wages!"

Xie Jin pursed his lips and said nothing. To be honest, four hours a day, thirty-five taels of silver a day, which is more than one tael of silver a month, and thirteen taels of silver that year.

If you add the mother-in-law and children at home, it is not a problem to earn twenty taels a year.
