Queen Ma and Zhu Tong talked for a while, and when they saw Zhu Tong looking out from time to time, they asked with concern, "Child, is there anything to be busy with?" ”

After these few contacts, Zhu Tong is not so angry with Queen Ma, and every time he sees Queen Ma, he has an inexplicable sense of intimacy, which makes him have an instinctive sense of trust in the woman in front of him.

"Mother, it's not early, my sister is still waiting for me to go back to dinner." Zhu Tong said.

"In that case, let's come back tomorrow and go back!" Saying that, Queen Ma gave Zhu Tong the remaining boxes of pastries in her arms, and was reluctant to look at Zhu Tong's distant back.

After a while, Zhu Tong came out of the palace, he was thinking that the day of the reward was approaching, it was time to start his own plan, he was not in a hurry to go home, but went to the suburbs to take a look.

He had been here before, a barren mountain has no grass, but there is a rich salt mine, he inquired that this is a piece of land that Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Liu Bowen, and later Liu Bowen handed over this land to a villager to operate, the ancients made salt but never used salt ore.

There are many toxic elements in the ore, and the process of extracting refined salt has not yet been mastered in this era, so this is a profitable business opportunity, and if you grasp it properly, you can realize your plan as soon as possible.

After watching Zhu Tong for a while, he walked straight home, although he would have money after being sealed, but how to buy this land from Liu Bowen was a problem, he had never seen this extremely wise god, and he didn't know how to deal with him to achieve his goal.

He slowly pushed the door open and walked into the house, where the puppy ran over and put its front paws on his lap, panting with his tongue and tail wagging.

When my sister saw Zhu Tong coming back, she shouted to eat, and inadvertently saw Zhu Tong frowning and constantly looking at a booklet, so she asked:

"Brother! What's on your mind? ”

"It's nothing, I just want to do some business and maintain my family." Zhu Tong muttered absentmindedly.

"It's going well in the palace today, right?"

Jiang Pan asked as he chewed his lips.

"Things in the palace are going well, by the way, the queen mother also gave me a few boxes of pastries, saying that you can taste them" Referring to the things in the palace, Zhu Tong remembered this stubble, took it out as he spoke, and handed it to his sister.

"Drink! Brother, why is the queen so good to you? Jiang Pan was surprised.

"The queen is kind and kind to the people under her hands." Zhu Tong said.

"Alright, alright! Brother still has some things, let's deal with it first. Zhu Tong put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and returned to his room, the room full of books and drawings were all plans he had been thinking about for a long time.

The most important thing in the salt mine is to be able to buy Liu Bowen's mine, and if the salt mine fails, there are ......

......

Just when Zhu Tong was immersed in his Hongda plan, there was a noise outside the door, Zhu Tong went out to see it with curiosity, it turned out to be an official messenger to inform him of the reward tomorrow morning, the official messenger left after a few simple instructions, Zhu Tong stood in place, and the neighbors came forward to congratulate him.

"Congratulations! Xiao Zhu, I didn't see that you have this ability! ”

"Brother Zhu! You have to remember our brothers! ”

Zhu Tong returned the salute one by one, thanked him, and it was not early after sending off the neighborhood, so he went to prepare for tomorrow's morning, thinking that the plan he was looking forward to could finally be carried out, and then he would be able to have a bigger house, a richer life, and better care for his sister.

Before I knew it, it was the next day, the sky was not yet bright, the moonlight was still floating in the early morning fog, Zhu Tong's door was already full of sedan chair men and officials, Zhu Tong did not alarm his sister, he went out lightly, and was shocked by this scene just after he went out.

"Why are you here so early, I got up half an hour early!" Zhu Tong was surprised.

Everyone was silent, only the official bowed down and said, "Xiao Langjun, please!" ”

The sedan chair man leaned down slightly, Zhu Tong tiptoed onto the sedan chair, the interior of the sedan chair was magnificent, it was obviously a royal specification, although it was bumpy along the way but extremely comfortable, the body was full of silk silk, and after a while the sedan chair landed, the official said respectfully:

"Xiao Langjun, please!"

Zhu Tong opened the door curtain, stepped out, a majestic palace stood in front of him, the plaque in front of the hall suspended the words "Fengtian Palace", looking at this momentum like a rainbow, a burst of passion in his heart.

"Xiao Langjun, please come here." The official officer reminded Zhu Tong and led Zhu Tong to the side hall, which was heavily guarded in front of the side hall, the royal forest army stood on both sides, the moon still did not fade its golden luster, and the armor on the royal forest army was flashed with golden light, but these sergeants were expressionless on their faces, and there was a burst of coercion.

The official servant instructed Zhu Tongdao:

"Xiao Langjun, you wait here first, and wait for the villain to report."

What? Why is the official of the 'villain' so humble, a bit too much, right? Zhu Tong muttered in his heart.

After a while, I saw the official running to a eunuch in small steps, whispering a few words, the eunuch turned around and entered the side hall, and after a while, he came out again and whispered, and the official bowed down and ran: "Xiao Langjun, the emperor ordered you to go in,"

Zhu Tong entered the hall without hurrying, bowed down, and said, "Caomin, knock to see Your Majesty!"

"Get up, today's reward hall, you wait in the side hall, wait for the courtiers to enter the court, after the audience, I will make noise for you," Zhu Yuanzhang said, slowly closing his eyes.

"The grass people obey!" Zhu Tong responded.

Zhu Tong saw through the candlelight that Zhu Yuanzhang's old face was full of expectation, and at the same time there was a hint of tiredness, it seemed that he should have no rest all night, worthy of being the most hard-working emperor in history, and the reputation of this emperor among the people is very good, not as unbearable as the Manchu Qing smear.

At this time, there was a thick horn sound outside the hall, Zhu Tong turned his head to look out through the veil, and a group of black shadows carrying lanterns walked into the Fengtian Temple, the light of the lanterns squirmed, and after a long time, there was a burst of drum and flute instrument ensemble, Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him twisted his neck, got up and squinted at Zhu Tong and smiled, turned around and instantly recovered his solemn color, striding into the Fengtian Palace, and the eunuchs outside the door sang loudly: "The emperor has arrived."

This time, it didn't take long for another burst of mountain shouts to resonate with deafening, and the aftermath was like waves crashing on the shore, shaking the earth and the sky in the sky.

Suddenly, another voice sang and shouted: "Divine doctor Zhu Tong has arrived!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they talked about it one after another.

"Biao'er reads the decree."

Zhu Yuanzhang instructed the prince, and the prince on the side took the holy decree and said loudly: "Carry it in heaven..... Zhu Tong is meritorious, and he is rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a thousand pieces of cloth, and a ...... Earl! ”
