Chapter Seventy-One: The Best Horse Feed

Lu Ning took Zhu Yuanzhang to one of his warehouses, and then asked Fu Bo to open the warehouse, he took out a handful of black beans and said.

"Uncle, this kind of black bean is not ordinary, he is the best in authentic horse feed, after letting the horse eat it, there is absolutely no problem in terms of nutrition, even if the skinny horse eats it, it will be fat and strong."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he instantly became happy, if this is the case, not only is it not an ordinary product, but it is not an exaggeration to say that this thing is a divine product.

There is no way to have it both ways, so whether this kind of black beans can also yield thousands of catties per mu like potatoes is not necessarily.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lu Ning with a smile.

"What is the yield per mu of black beans? Zi'an, you can always prepare some surprises for me, if I dedicate this to the imperial court through the Department of Domestic Products, I am afraid that your title will be sealed again. ”

What Lu Ning was most afraid of was this one, so he scratched his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Don't mention this stubble, let alone whether you are tired or not, just because the court made me a baron, how many people are jealous of me? Isn't that Huang Zicheng an example, this guy has a bad brain and was wiped out by me, if I meet someone with a better brain than me, I won't be able to eat and walk away. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Lu Ning's words, but just smiled before speaking.

"You kid is still afraid of wolves and tigers, what's the matter, with your title promoted, your power will naturally be greater, where does anyone dare to come to the door to make trouble!"

But no matter what, Lu Ning still didn't have any interest in the title, so he had to say it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I know my uncle's kindness to me, but I told you a long time ago that I just want to be a small landlord, just eat, drink and have fun every day, and now I am worried about being a county magistrate."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this nephew was a little helpless, after all, the people of the old Zhu family should do more useful things all day long and contribute to the government.

Why does this guy Zi'an only think about eating, drinking and having fun every day, but this can reassure everyone, after all, it also proves that he will never do anything wrong.

Since this guy is not interested in official titles, let's give him something practical.

"Since this is the case, then I will also play to the court and reward you more, anyway, as long as you are a meritorious person, you will definitely not be buried."

Lu Ning thought about it carefully, as long as he didn't give himself a promotion to a knighthood, everything else would be floating clouds.

"Actually, the imperial court is not short of money, as long as you discuss it with the State Department of Commerce, it will be fine to give me more money, and besides, I have genuine good goods here."

After listening to Lu Ning's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but scratch his head a little again, it seems that this guy is still focused on making money, and then enjoying life and waiting for death.

"What do you want? I just wanted to say that I had an idea that I was going to discuss with you. ”

Lu Ning knew that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't say anything new with a roll of his eyes, but he had to listen to it anyway.

"Uncle, you just have to say it, but anyway, I have to say something, I don't want the official title, anyway, if we don't give money, we should contribute to Daming, and the rest is not to be discussed."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment before saying to Lu Ning.

"Before, because of your meritorious contribution to potatoes, the imperial court allocated some land in Changning County as the imperial village, and you will be responsible for taking care of it, I think this matter is quite good, why don't I apply for more land for you."

Lu Ning shook his head, he was used to a slow-paced life, and if he was assigned another task, it would probably be a bit difficult for a strong man.

"Uncle, do you mean to make me an imperial merchant like you, who is responsible for taking care of this land, and then paying tribute to the imperial court every year according to the season?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, this should be a good idea.

"Don't you want to make money, it's just up to you to run and take care of it, you pay for the long-term workers and the bankers, and the annual crops are all yours, and how much you sell to the imperial court and the imperial court pays according to the price, this should be considered a good thing, right?"

Lu Ning scratched his head, in the eyes of others, this must be a good thing that cannot be sought, but he feels that he seems to be a little trapped by the imperial court.

A small landlord who only enjoys life every day has been directly transformed into a conscientious court staff.

However, it seems that it is not easy to find anything wrong with this arrangement, after all, the uncle is also thinking about himself.

After being stunned for a long time, Lu Ning said helplessly.

"Since that's the case, then I can only obey my uncle's arrangement, what do you say? Of course I'll do that. ”

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile and said.

"Zi'an, the biggest achievement in our life is to recognize you as a nephew, don't worry, I will never treat you lightly, I can give you as much as I can give my eldest brother!"

Lu Ning looked at the uncle in front of him in a daze, he didn't understand at the moment what a heavy message Zhu Yuanzhang's promise contained.

At this moment, a servant broke in and said a little breathlessly.

"County Zun, we have just received an urgent document from the capital, let us summarize the recent work and report it to the Ministry as soon as possible, and it must be completed within two days."

Lu Ning still didn't care about anything, and said directly.

"When did the officials condescend so much, and have a direct conversation with our ordinary small county, no matter what they do, they should talk to the province first, at least they have to say hello to the Changzhou government."

The official was also very helpless, and replied directly.

"Lord Registrar told me that this is because you are a second-rank official with a knighthood, so the officials will directly evaluate you."

Lu Ning, who had just relaxed a little, was a little confused in an instant, please don't remind me of this, okay?
