Since it was time to talk about preparing food, Wang Er had a new idea, he laughed twice, and said, "Brother Zhu, there are three big bags of gold and silver that we snatched from the shirt family last time, I'll use this money to buy food." ”

"No way!" Zhu Yuanzhang categorically vetoed: "You can't buy grain." ”

"Why?" Wang Er and Zheng Yanfu both felt incomprehensible.

"None of the three of us are fit to go to buy food, and neither are the young people we brought out." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "The amount of grain we want to buy is very large, at least for thousands of people to eat for several months, such a large amount of food, whoever of us buys it will be unlucky!" Don't forget your identity, the three of us are not rich people, if we take out a lot of money to buy food, after the government's arrest is discovered, what do you think people? Moreover, after buying food, I couldn't even find a place to store it! ”

"That's right!" Wang Er and Zheng Yanfu suddenly realized: "Then how are we going to prepare food?" ”

"I'll take care of this matter, and you guys will prepare other things first." Zhu Yuanzhang commanded in a low voice: "Second Brother Wang, please use this time before the autumn fu to step up military training, we don't need to train a lot of soldiers, but the most important thirty-five brothers, as well as the two hundred and twenty brothers in Fenglei Village, must train to the elite level, otherwise we will not have the capital to compete with the officers and soldiers." ”

Wang Er nodded, he had witnessed the powerful battle formation of officers and soldiers under the guidance of Zhu Yuanzhang, and knew the important surnames of the soldiers, and he had been helping Zhu Yuanzhang "teach boxing" for the past six months, so it was very appropriate for him to do this.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Brother Zheng Yanfu, please sneak back to Chengcheng, although it is dangerous to do so, but with your prestige in Chengcheng, it should not be difficult to take advantage of the opportunity of Qiufu to pull up another team, and you can respond to what we are going to do in Baishui." ”

When Zheng Yanfu heard this, he hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Brother Zhu, I don't dare to pull the team anymore...... As you know, the last time I pulled up the team, it was simply not good, it was completely useless, and I had no confidence in myself...... And the failure last time also made me lose the face to go back to my hometown. I think...... In the future, everyone will call me Desperate Saburo, the name Zheng Yanfu, I don't want to use it anymore. ”

"Hmm...... That's good! Zhu Yuanzhang thought slightly, it is okay for the people on the Chengcheng side not to take advantage of it first, because his prestige in the Chengcheng side is insufficient, and if he has to pull the people of Chengcheng into the gang, it is indeed easy to cause some unstable factors.

This kind of thing, only when he believes in you, will listen to you wholeheartedly, if he does not believe you, it is very likely to have trouble with you. Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that at the beginning of the uprising, his team could be purified, and it would be better for the people of Chengcheng not to touch it.

Zheng ...... Cough...... Desperate San Lang, then you temporarily hide in the house of the second brother Wang to live temporarily, and usually train with the second brother Wang, you have been wandering for half a year, although the vision is long-term, but you don't know much about our team, if you start a war, you may not be able to integrate into our army, just take this opportunity to get familiar with the second brother Wang. ”

Zheng Yanfu nodded.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang got up early in the morning and warmed up with a boxing trip as usual to exercise his body.

Now his thirty-five henchmen have settled in the Ma family and become the Ma family's guardians, fifteen of them are stationed in the inner courtyard, and the other twenty are guarding the front yard. Every door of the Ma Mansion is guarded by two young people, and it is no exaggeration to say that when a mosquito enters and exits the Ma family, Zhu Yuanzhang can also get the news as soon as possible. As long as he wants, he can lock down the entire Ma Mansion at any time.

The second young grandmother, who is obviously not very politically intelligent, has no warning about this, but she feels that it is very safe to have so many nursing homes guarding her home, and she trusts and relies on Zhu Yuanzhang more and more.

Zhu Yuanzhang had only been boxing for a short time, and a young man from Xigu Village came, one of the nine young people who had originally taken refuge in him, and the most trustworthy subordinate. The young man came over, took out a letter and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, before dawn this morning, a letter from Xi'an came to the family, which was written by the eldest young master to the second young grandmother...... I'll cut it down and I'll deal with it when you see it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, returned to the house with the young man, folded the envelope very carefully, it turned out to be an ordinary family letter, asked about the current situation of the Ma family, and asked the second young grandmother if there were any difficulties to solve. Such a letter should have been written by the second young master, but the second young master completely ignored his wife, and he didn't care about the old courtyard of the Ma family, so he had to ask the eldest young master.

After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't notice anything unusual, this was indeed a very ordinary letter, so he carefully resealed the mouth, handed it to the young man, and said, "Take it and give it to the personal maid of the second young grandmother...... You did a great job, remember to show me all the letters first. ”

The young man nodded, took the letter and went, Zhu Yuanzhang lifted his spirits, and then walked out of his house and walked towards the small building of the second young grandmother. After thinking about it all night last night, he had already thought of a good way to prepare food for his army, and he needed to use the stupid second young grandmother.

At this time, it is early summer, the temperature is getting higher, but the morning is not hot, only a faint refreshment, Zhu Yuanzhang walked a few steps in the inner courtyard, and met two maids walking past him with a smile...... Isn't this girl autumn leaves? The dress in the laundry tub next to it is so familiar, it was changed by myself yesterday. There is a great drought in the world, and the surging wave of peasants has been nurtured in the whole of Shaanxi, but in this early morning in the inner courtyard of the Ma family, everything seems harmonious and peaceful.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested in paying attention to the woman, but he couldn't help but wave his hand at Autumn Leaves and say hello.

Autumn leaves rarely saw Zhu Bugs take the initiative to say hello to herself, and she was overjoyed, her body was numb, she shook for a while, and almost fell into the well, but fortunately she held on to the edge of the well, so she didn't make a big incident.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly, he has always known about Autumn Leaves' feelings, but he doesn't know how to reciprocate, this is a very painful thing! In the previous life, he was the emperor, ** beauties were no less, and he didn't necessarily have any tenderness for these**, but he didn't feel guilty, because none of those ** concubines, except for Queen Bigfoot, really liked him. They are just using their status as concubines to seek benefits for the family.

The house of the emperor lacks something called "true love", the love of husband and wife, no! Father-son love, no! Brotherly love, no! Everything was cold, and after Queen Ma died, he never felt that anyone loved him again, and he didn't fall in love with anyone anymore.

In fact, he is not good at facing other people's true love, take Queen Ma as an example, because she sincerely loves him, so even if Zhu Yuanzhang becomes the emperor and holds the power of life and death in the world, but Queen Ma opens her mouth to make a request, he will listen carefully and compromise for it! Because he wants to try his best to meet her requirements, give her happiness, and let her love be reciprocated, although he himself does not want to admit it, he is actually a person with a feeling surname.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around the autumn leaves and walked towards the small building of the second young grandmother.

It was a delicate and delicate small building, which used to be lived by Miss Ma San, and now Miss San has moved to Xi'an Mansion with the family, and it has become the residence of the second young grandmother.

"Zhu Ba begged to see the second young grandmother." Zhu Yuanzhang was in front of the small building and shouted loudly inside.

After a while, the second young grandmother's personal maid came out, this girl looks okay, a little delicate and gentle, and her demeanor is also very decent, she is a dowry girl, it stands to reason that she will become a maid in the room, and sooner or later she will sleep with the second young master, because the second young master and the second young grandmother have a bad relationship, they sleep in separate rooms, and she is not mixed in, and she is still a little maid who doesn't know what to do.

"Brother Zhu!" A smile appeared on the little maid's face: "Please come in...... Just now, a nurse from the nursing home sent a letter, and my young lady has already gotten up and is sitting in the living room reading the letter. "The maids from the Zhang family are still used to calling the second young grandmother Miss, which is quite interesting.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and followed the little maid to the building.

The small building of the second young grandmother is very delicately decorated, and it is not covered with red and green, but you can see the smell of a scholarly disciple. After all, she is the daughter of the county master, although her father Zhang Douyao's character is not very good, but he is also an official who is a serious and serious Jinshi in the examination, and there is a Jinshi pole in front of the house, so she still has some knowledge, she is under the influence of her father, but she is also a well-informed woman, and she does not have the temperament of a nouveau riche.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the hall, only to see the second young grandmother sitting at the table, holding the letter just now, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang walking in, she put the letter in her hand on the table, and asked with a smile: "Steward Zhu, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Well, it's a little bit." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Second young grandmother, I know that the relationship between you and the second young master is not very good......

"Huh?" The second young grandmother frowned slightly: "What are you doing with this?" I don't even bother to think about that man. By the way, don't call me the second young grandmother, I was so panicked when I heard it, you can call me Miss in the future, or Miss Zhang. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled secretly in his heart, but his mouth followed her meaning: "Miss Zhang...... I came here today to say that you have a few words in your heart, our subordinates of the Ma family have long been dissatisfied with the second young master, he treats us as inappropriate people, and bullies and scolds us at will. But we have great respect for Miss Zhang, because you are very amiable to your subordinates, and we all feel that you are a good person, so ...... The descendants of our Ma family will do their best to help you manage this family. ”

"Uh-huh!" Miss Zhang was very satisfied with this passage and said with a smile: "That's great! ”

"From what I know about the second young master, he must be waiting to see your jokes in Xi'an Mansion now, if you don't take care of this family well, he has an excuse to ridicule you." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "If the young lady wants to be angry with him, the best way is to help the Ma family earn a lot of money and prove their strength, so that the second young master can be brought out as a waste......"

"That's right!" Miss Zhang said happily: "I think so too, is there any good way to make money?" ”

"Right now, there's a good opportunity." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "There is a great drought in the world, and the grain will be earned!" ”
