Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma watched Zhu Tong leave and discussed Zhu Tong's marriage, and Zhu Yuanzhang first thought of his two righteous brothers, Xu Da and Tang He.

So he consulted with Queen Ma and said:

"Sister, is there a girl in Xu Da's family who is the same age as our Tong'er?"

Queen Ma replied with a smile:

"There's a girl who's called, Miaoyun! That's right, it's called 'Miaoyun'. ”

"The girl in Tanghe's family is not bad, she is knowledgeable."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to choose for a while, but the two children were fine, so he asked Queen Ma:

"Sister, do you think we chose Miss Miaoyun for Tong'er? Or is it Yan Ke's child? ”

Queen Ma thought for a moment and said:

"In my opinion, let's see what Tong'er means, and let Tong'er see it."

At this time, Zhu Biao stood aside and reminded:

"Father, mother, son, son has an idea."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"The father can, in the name of his sons, invite the major magnates, and at the same time let them bring their families to come, when the time comes, I will accompany the eldest brother, I will first check the eldest brother, and then ask the eldest brother's wishes."

"What does Father think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, stretched out for a moment, glanced at Queen Ma and said:

"We think this method is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered someone to call Xu Da and Tang He into the palace.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's mysterious expression, Xu Da asked:

"Superior, is there something wrong with summoning the two of me so urgently?"

Xu Da and Tang He stared at Zhu Yuanzhang nervously, they hadn't seen the two of them summoned so solemnly by their superiors for a long time, and they were summoned because of some major incident before.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a while and said:

"Our Tong'er is not young anymore, and the sons of ordinary people are fathers at this age, right?"

汤和 says:

"Hey! That's not necessarily, it's very late when we get married. ”

Xu Da on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this, stroked his beard and said:

"Second brother, what we mean by being in the position is to tell our eldest nephew about family affairs!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Tang He, turned around and went to the Taishi chair on the side, picked up the teacup and began to take a sip.

Tang He suddenly realized, patted his hands on his chest and said happily:

"Superiors, don't worry, leave this matter to us, we will do it properly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up directly and walked to Tang He and pointed at Tang He and stopped talking, and looked at Tang He helplessly, while Xu Da next to him kept laughing at Tang He

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Tang He and continued:

"Let's choose a concubine for Tong'er, let's see both of you..."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Xu Da and Tang He preemptively said:

"Our Ziyueqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient, gentle and virtuous, suitable for the eldest nephew."

"My family's Yan Ke and eldest nephew are childhood sweethearts, and the two are a perfect match."

Xu Da hurriedly replied, for fear that he would slow down the soup and half a minute, and then did not forget to add a sentence:

"Second brother, why is it that when it comes to choosing a concubine for your eldest nephew, you are like a different person? Isn't that like you? ”

Tang He ignored Xu Da and continued:

"Superior! Our Ziyue can make a good female red, just to sew and mend for the eldest nephew. ”

"Our Yan Ke is proficient in music and rhythm, and he knows a little bit of medicine, if the two of them are together, they can have a common topic."

Xu Da didn't let Tang He half a point, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the two were arguing, so he said:

"Okay, okay, let's prepare to hold a banquet, let all the dignitaries bring their daughters, and then see what Tong'er thinks, and then we will make a decision."

Xu Da saw that the situation was not good, so he said:

"Superior, since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents, how can you listen to young people."

Tang He also said.

"Superior, the third brother is right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and thought:

"These two people have become very fast, probably because they are afraid that Tong'er will fall in love with other people's young ladies!"

"That's it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

......

Ying Tianfu East City,

Zhu Tong didn't rush home after leaving the palace, and came to the salt field along the road, watching many homeless people walking in one direction along the way.

And this direction is where his salt field is located, and the officials guarding the city are constantly driving these displaced people.

From a distance, the sparse and sparse homeless people are like a long snake, leading to the suburbs.

Soon Zhu Tong arrived at the salt field, the salt mountain, which was originally uninhabited, is now surrounded by a circle of displaced people, and now there are not too many gatherings, if it is a few days later, it will be overcrowded.

What's worse is that these gatherings of displaced people can easily cause infectious diseases, and if they are not taken properly, they may lead to the suspension of production of salt works, or even affect a wider area.

Looking at these homeless people, Zhu Tong couldn't help but feel a sense of worry in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Just after producing another batch of new salt, Xu Yi came to see Zhu Tong, he saw Zhu Tong's brows tightened, and looked at the displaced people around him and immediately understood Zhu Tong's concerns.

"Big brother, these homeless people have heard that we have recruited laborers one after another, and it just so happens that the government is unable to settle the homeless, so they can only be left to wander freely."

"However, we are no longer able to accommodate the labour."

After listening to what Xu Yi said, Zhu Tong paused and said:

"But you can send someone to prepare more lime powder and sprinkle a little bit of lime powder in the salt field every once in a while, and build a bath next to the factory to keep the laborers clean and hygienic every day."

Xu Yi received the order and immediately began to arrange, and Zhu Tong returned home with peace of mind.

My sister was playing in the yard with Sanbao, and when she saw Zhu Tong coming in, Ma Sanbao came happily:

"Brother Zhu Tong, you're finally back, my sister just told me about the legend of the sea!"

Zhu Tong looked at Ma Sanbao with an innocent face and asked:

"Oh? Is it? And what's on the sea? ”

Ma Sanbao said with a serious face:

"There are so many fun things on the sea, and there is also a daughter country!"

Zhu Tong smiled when he heard this, but he had another thought in his heart, Sanbao will be the famous Zheng He in the future, why don't I teach him some marine knowledge in his previous life, maybe it will be useful in the future.

Thinking that there was a knock on the door, Jiang Pan stepped forward to open the door, and a young man in his twenties came in outside the door, this person was a seller who Zhu Tong found the day before yesterday to sell the house.

There is also a middle-aged man behind him, this person is Fang Ya, Fang Yan is the middleman of ancient real estate transactions, and it is also equivalent to the intermediary of later generations.

This young man who sold his house was originally from a wealthy family, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and he was the only one left with his parents who died of illness and early death, but fortunately, his parents left him enough property.

Who would have thought that this guy was a loser, and he gambled that the family business accumulated by the ancestors for three generations was lost in a few years, and the creditor collected the debt a few days ago, so he had no choice but to sell the house at a low price.

Just let Zhu Tong meet it, so he took over this house, the location of the house is good, and it is very comfortable to live in, he originally talked about the day after tomorrow, but who knew that he couldn't wait today.

Presumably, the creditor should have come to the door to force the debt again, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry?

Zhu Tong and Xu Yi had seen the house the day before yesterday, and there was no problem, Zhu Tong saw that the other party was in such a hurry, so he asked Fang Ya to host the transaction of the house.

So, Zhu Tong picked up a big bargain again!
