Chapter 29: Door-to-door thanks

Although these fourth-grade officials are not small, it depends on what!

This is Yingtian Mansion, not to mention that there are dignitaries everywhere, but people like Lao Zhutou are not enough to look at!

Just throw it away and turn around, the officials killed will have bigger heads than Lao Zhu!

Moreover, since he is the savior of Lao Zhutou’s son, Lao Zhutou should not murder him!

This is so fucking wrong!

As a time traveler, your biggest advantage is your forward-looking perspective on history.

But if history changes drastically at this time, this advantage of mine will be directly reduced by more than half!

Zhu Ying couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, and in the end he could only blame Li Buju, Xu Geunshuo and others.

After all, there are many people with mixed opinions.

Lao Zhutou has brought too many people these days, which will have an impact on history.

It seems that I won’t be able to interact with too many people in the future, and I will have to think twice before speaking.

Otherwise, once history is beyond one's control, the future will become confusing.

At this time, Zhu Ying decided that in the future, except for Lao Zhutou and his son, the rest of the people should have as little contact as possible.

If you can predict the future and reveal it, try not to reveal it.

Fortunately, Queen Ma is still alive, so Zhu Yuanzhang will not go dark, and not so many people will be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu cut their heads, so they were fine.

"Is Mr. Zhu at home?"

Zhu Ying was thinking when a woman's voice suddenly came to her ears.

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lao Zhutou and his family standing at the door.

"Why are you here today, madam?"

Zhu Ying was a little surprised.

Unlike the humble and polite Zhu Boss, who often came over to eat and drink, Zhu Ying's attitude towards the old lady was obviously much better.

It's just that the old lady is ill, so she doesn't come often.

"Master Zhu, to tell you the truth, I came here specifically to express my gratitude!"

"Thank you Mr. Zhu for your life-saving grace!"

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Ying, she immediately laughed. The more she looked at this boy, the more he looked like her grandson!

I even had the idea in my heart that I might as well accept this boy as my grandson.

I was just worried that this young man would not agree. After all, Chongba had always told him that this boy only wanted to go to Nanyang.

Now I can stand here in good health only because of the life-saving pills given by this young man in front of me!

"That's it!"

When Zhu Ying heard this, he knew why the old lady came suddenly.

After taking a look at it, the old lady's face looked much better than before. It seemed that she had already taken her medicine.

I originally thought that this pill had never been seen by the ancients, and few people would dare to take it.

But now it seems that Lao Zhutou and his family still trust him very much!

"Old madam, there is no need to be polite. It's just a trivial matter, so don't be so polite!"

Zhu Ying is not really pretending. Although this disease was considered a terminal illness in ancient times, it is indeed not a big deal in the 21st century.

"For Mr. Zhu, it is a trivial matter! But for me, this is a life-saving grace!"

"What are you still doing? Bring everything in!"

Queen Ma smiled and ordered her servants.

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked outside.

Hey guys, we are almost catching up with the bride-to-be wedding team.

There were not even a hundred but eighty servants carrying the boxes.

There are dozens of boxes, and each one is ridiculously big!

"What is this for?"

Zhu Ying had a question mark on her face.

"After putting it away, open all the boxes and let Mr. Zhu take a look!"

"yes!"

Queen Ma ordered while smiling.

When the servants heard this, they put the boxes one after another and opened them immediately.

At this moment, the manor was filled with golden light.

Without exception, these boxes contained gold, silver and jewelry.

If this were placed in the 21st century, not to mention much, if it were converted into banknotes, at least eight or nine zeros would be strung on it.

"this......"

Even though he had seen the world and sold 100,000 pigs to Lao Zhutou, Zhu Ying could not help but take a breath of cold air at this time. This was such a big deal!

"Boy, what does your expression mean?"

"If you think it's too tacky, it doesn't matter. Let's have people carry it away now. It just so happens that these servants are still here."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and said angrily.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a tenant farmer, and he had to beg for food back then. Although he is now the Hongwu Emperor, his concept of being diligent and thrifty in managing his family has long been ingrained.

On weekdays, a penny has to be calculated for a long time before it is spent. To put it mildly, it is called being diligent and thrifty, but to put it worse, it is stingy!

Zhu Yuanzhang's original idea was to just give him some money.

Anyway, this kid is also a member of our old Zhu family. Before we knew each other, if this kid spent all his money on other things and wasted it, I would really feel bad!

But Queen Ma refused and insisted on giving more.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to provoke Queen Ma, so he finally nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was bleeding profusely and was already in a bad mood, suddenly became angry when he saw Zhu Ying's surprised look on his face. He couldn't see any surprise at all.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying ignored him, looked at the yard full of gold and silver jewelry, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who looked like he was constipated, and suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Old Zhutou, tell me the truth, how greedy are you?"

"greedy?"

"I am the emperor, and the world belongs to me. Can I be greedy?"

Seeing Zhu Ying saying that he was greedy, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry.

Do you really despise sleeping?

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's unhappy look, Zhu Ying decided to have a good talk with him.

"Old Zhutou, you don't have to look like this. I'll help you settle the score and you'll understand."

"Your official position is only a fourth rank. Although it is a full fourth rank, the salary given to you by the court is twenty-six dan per month. According to the current prices, it is more than one hundred copper coins per month to support you. I will give you one hundred copper coins.

Fifty guan is more than enough."

"Look at the gold and silver jewelry you gave me. At least, they are worth over two hundred thousand dollars."

"Based on your income, even if your whole family doesn't eat or drink, you won't be able to save so much wealth in less than a hundred years."

"Not greedy? How could you get so much gold and silver if you weren't greedy?"

"Never mind that I didn't remind you, what is your Majesty's most taboo thing today?"

"That's a corrupt official!"

"Aren't you afraid that the Jin Yiwei will arrest you, give you thousands of slices, and bleed to death?"

Zhu Ying frowned and said seriously.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang's tolerance for corrupt officials was basically zero, and the punishments were also quite severe.

Let alone hundreds of thousands of guans, if you are greedy for just a few dozen guans, you will get your head chopped off by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhutou has been greedy for so much, I'm afraid it won't be enough even if he kills everyone in his family!

Zhu Ying's first reaction when he saw these gold and silver treasures was not that he was going to get rich, but that Lao Zhutou's family was going to suffer, so he explained it with all his heart.

He hoped that Lao Zhu's family would be fine and nothing would go wrong. As for the money, it was nothing more than personal possessions.
