Muchun, Duke of Guizhou, was a warrior who grew up in the army. He had a strong figure, long hands and long legs, and a strong back and strong waist.
He was good at fighting and killing people, but when he used the farmer's style, Zhu Yunxi, a second-hand swordsman, grinned when he saw it.
Wow, that's not cool. This is not farm work, it's just digging the soil!
He stuck out his big ass, bent his waist like a shrimp, and the sickle in his hand was shaped like a meteor hammer. Every time he harvested, there was a whistling sound in the air, as if the wheat were the heads of the enemy. It made people jump with fear.
Afraid that he would hurt himself.
The neat wheat field in front of him looked like it was being gnawed by dogs. Many of the wheat were not cut at all, but pulled out directly by Mu Chun's iron hands like radishes.
Zhu Yunxi looked back at the old man at the edge of the field, secretly stamped the pit where Mu Chun pulled the wheat, and said, "Tsk, tsk, you stupid Qi Shi, a seven-foot-tall man, can't even cut wheat!"
I'm stupid, your highness forgive me! Muchun turned around and gave Zhu Yunxi a simple and honest smile.
He looked honest and honest, his smile was hearty and bold, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes made people feel comfortable. But Zhu Yunxi knew that the son of the old man's godson was a strong-armed prince in Yunnan who killed people without blinking an eye.
Any foreign savage who refuses to obey the control of the Ming Dynasty and does not pay tribute to the Ming Emperor will be killed if caught. If not caught, they will be chased and killed!
The Mu family was the best friend of the late prince Zhu Biao, and now this loyalty naturally fell on Zhu Yunxi.
What's the crime? Zhu Yunxi stepped on a few more dirt pits, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, you are a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy, and it is your duty to not do farm work well. After saying that, Zhu Yunxi started to give instructions, don't bend your back so much
, straighten up, use your waist strength. Slow down with both hands, pull the wheat with one hand, and cut the sickle against the ground with the other hand, hey, that’s right!
Under the guidance of Zhu Yunxi's two swords, Muchun gradually became more impressive.
Just look at your report in Yunnan. You did a good job. Those chieftains who don’t obey Ming Dynasty’s control should be shown how powerful they are! Grandpa Huang promised you that the Mu family will be in Yunnan forever. Just go ahead and do it. Don’t do it.
Afraid of people impeaching you.
In fact, in Gu's heart, there is no difference between you and Gu's own family. When your father was alive, Gu would still call him uncle. When my father was here, he also said it himself, except that your Mu family is not named Zhu, in fact, it is the same as the Zhu family.
No difference.
Hearing Zhu Yunxi mention his father who died of illness, Muchun quickly stopped what he was doing and bowed his head to listen solemnly.
Don't hold on! Keep cutting! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, Talking in the fields is not a performance in court, so don't be so tense!
Sir, before my father passed away, he specifically told me and my younger brother not to forget the emperor’s grace and the late prince’s love! Mu Chun said while cutting the wheat, I am a dull person who is in a high position and is afraid of betraying the emperor’s favor.
, you can only do your best.
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly. He said just now, don't be so cautious. They are all family members. Even if you do something wrong in the future, Gu will only tolerate you and not blame you!
Gentle words and soft words are your kindness!
In Zhu Yunxi's heart, there will be many things for Mu Chun to do in the future on the Yunnan frontier.
At this time, some footsteps came from behind Zhu Yunxi. When he turned around, he saw a tall and thin civil servant with dark skin walking behind him.
Your Majesty, Yunnan Left Political Councilor Zhang You came to see His Highness the Emperor Taisun, and I was ordered to cut the wheat!
Zhu Yutong smiled, the old man still felt sorry for him, and sent another laborer to cut wheat.
This is not a polite place, just work as soon as you come! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, you have done well in Yunnan, and the official evaluation is excellent every year. Yunnan is a mixed place with Han and Hu people, and there are many mountains and forests. You are in charge of civil affairs, can you control those chieftains?
Those who govern obediently must have some ability!
My minister, you just did your job well and don’t deserve your highness’ praise!
As Zhang Yan spoke, he piled the wheat that Mu Chun had harvested into piles. An expert would know if there was any. At first glance, he was a good farmer, and he was not comparable to someone like Mu Chun.
You don’t have to be too modest. The Ming Dynasty will reward those who have made great contributions. The emperor and Gu like to have talented ministers like you! Zhu Yunxi still put his hands behind his back and stood on the field ridge and said, you organized the people to reclaim more than 100,000 acres of land in Yunnan.
You have fertile land, cultivate education, build cities, and let people from the mountains settle in the cities. The customs of Yi and Han are different, and there are many disputes, but you can make them live in peace.
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi paused and said, now that the Ming Dynasty has just acquired the land of Korea, and wants to establish a chief secretary in the province, I think of you first. Although the Koreans have benefited from the blessings of China, they are still outsiders after all. You
When we go there, we not only have to appease them, but we also have to manage them well.
After Zhu Yunxi said a lot, Zhang Zhen said, Your Highness, don't worry, I have gone to Goryeo, Goryeo is the land of the Ming Dynasty. The barbarians are the same all over the world. Treating them is the same as raising a son. You have to feed them and fight them at the same time.
.
A filial son is born under a stick, and they will become obedient after being beaten a few times!
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi nodded secretly.
Officials who can smooth things over in Yunnan are naturally not rotten scholars who only know what they are doing. This man looks honest, and he really does mean that some people are ruthless and don't say much.
Your Highness, please forgive me. I will stand for a moment on behalf of the Duke of Guizhou!
Suddenly, Zhang Yan walked up to Muchun and grabbed the sickle. Hey, sir! I asked you to do this little work. I am ashamed of it. You haven’t eaten, so you don’t have any strength in your hands.
Even your incompetent son can be cut faster than you!
As he spoke, he moved his hands and brushed the wheat a few times and the wheat fell. The movements were skillful and crisp, and very beautiful.
Veins suddenly appeared on Muchun's face, but he couldn't get into an attack and could only move his lips twice.
Zhu Yunxi didn't understand lip reading, but he could still tell that it was "you are so stupid".
These two people are old partners in Yunnan. They have known each other for more than ten years. They are obviously superiors and subordinates, but secretly they have long been like friends and brothers.
This place is not above the court, and their actions cannot be considered unbecoming of the emperor. Besides, the Ming Dynasty was only thirty years old at this time, and there were not so many fuss and rules.
However, what Zhang Yan said was a bit of a curse.
Zhu Yunxi, who was beside him, couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.
His smile made Mu Chun even more unbearable. He pushed Zhang Yan away, took back the sickle, and said angrily, "Go away!"
This official is helping you. It's a good field. You're like following a wild boar! Zhang Yan muttered and said to Zhu Yunxi, Your Highness, you can see that the Duke of Guizhou knows how to use brute force.
After saying that, he bowed solemnly to Zhu Yunxi and said, Your Highness, the Yunnan frontier is different from other places. The folk customs are fierce, the mountain people are not afraid of death, and they often disobey control. It is not advisable to kill them blindly. After I go to Goryeo, please
Your Highness will once again choose a down-to-earth and honest official for Yunnan. First, he will assist the Duke of Guizhou, and second, he will calm the hearts of the people!
Zhu Yunxi nodded in approval, and his impression of Zhang Yan became a little better.
It is rare for this person to be promoted while also thinking about the people's sentiments in Yunnan.
I know! Zhu Yunxi said, go back and write a statement. Tell the truth about the difficulties and important issues in Yunnan's civil affairs!
I obey the decree!
Relax, don't be so restrained! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, you want to cut wheat? Just go to the field and get a sickle!
Your Highness, please wait!
A moment later, Zhang Yan came over with two sickles in his hand. He put one at Zhu Yunxi's feet, and took the other by himself. He walked into the wheat field and started working.
Zhu Yunxi's face froze and he looked at the sickle at his feet.
I ask you to work, what do you mean by giving me a sickle and asking me to do it too?
I only asked you to get a sickle for yourself. When did I ask you to get it for me too?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Not only is this person ruthless and talkative, he may also be a bad-tempered and tough minister in the future.
What he meant by giving the sickle to Zhu Yunxi was obvious. The world is just farmland, and the ministers work hard. As a king, how can he not practice it personally?
At this time, the old man's call came again from the edge of the field.
Grandson, what are you looking at? Work! The three of you are so lazy! When we were young, we could harvest three ridges of land in one meal!
Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to weigh the sickle angrily and join the ranks of harvesting wheat.
On the edge of the field, the old man looked at this scene and also laughed.
Concubine Guo Hui carefully helped the old man pour hot tea and whispered, "Your Majesty, why do you let His Highness do such rough work yourself?"
Women, stop interrupting! The old man frowned in displeasure.
Then, looking at the fields, he said thoughtfully, in those days, when we talked to the ministers, we would talk while working in the fields. We also knew that we were tired from working, and we also wanted to take some time off. But as long as we just felt something in our hearts
The thought of pleasure is like a hoe and a sickle, and everything is forgotten.
This is a test of one's mind. What tests one's impetuosity and spirit. When will the grandson be able to be truly down-to-earth and not bothered by these trivial matters, then he will truly grow up. By then, we should also...
........
When the old man said this, he did not avoid Concubine Guo Hui.
He said it easily, even with a hint of expectation.
However, when Concubine Hui heard this, she was as frightened as if she had been struck by lightning. When she looked at Tanaka Zhu Yunxi again, her eyes were completely different from the past.
Sooner or later the world belongs to the emperor's grandson, sooner or later it's just that!
