Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

According to the rules, the guest should introduce himself first, but Lu Liangqing patronized Zhu Tao and was rude again.

Fortunately, Zhu Tao is still a young man, so it's okay to speak up to an elder who is a guest. If he is an older guest and the guest doesn't introduce himself, it's no different from finding fault.

"My name is Lu Liangqing, and I'm a merchant. I came here to ask for a bowl of water because I was thirsty, and I wanted to meet the owner of this place by the way." Lu Liangqing said.

"Mr. Lu!" Zhu Tao bowed.

"Master Zhu's family!" Lu Liangqing was not rude this time, and returned the greeting in time.

"Looking at the neatness of the houses in this village, I thought that the landlord here must be a well-educated and reasonable person. Sure enough, Zhu Shaodong's family is young, but has an outstanding temperament." Lu Liangqing praised a few words.

"Mr. Lu is absurd. I have taken this Zhuangzi for two years, and the boy is still young, and he has not had time to do more governance. It made Mr. Lu laugh." Zhu Tao said modestly.

"Only two years?" Lu Liangqing exclaimed.

He thought that Zhu's family was the local household here, otherwise he might not be able to achieve this level, but he didn't want it to be only two years.

Is it a joke to build the village in such an orderly manner in two years?
Lu Liangqing used to live in poverty in the south of the Yangtze River, and lived in a village, and as far as he knew, even after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the villages in the whole country were almost like slums, and they were not as vibrant as the Zhujiazhuang in front of them.

When he entered the village just now, he found that there were piles of grain at the door of every household, and there were some free-range chickens and ducks on the road.

This undoubtedly does not represent the prosperous life of Zhujiazhuangzi. If it were an ordinary village, who would dare to dry the grain in the yard?It would be considered lucky if there were only thieves stealing food, and there might even be thieves who would kill people.

Not to mention free-range chickens and ducks. In an ordinary village, except for a few wealthy households, there is usually no oil star for a few years. I am afraid that the chickens and ducks have been stolen by neighbors as soon as they are released.

The impression Zhujiazhuangzi gave him was almost the same as The Story of Peach Blossom Spring.

And such a paradise-like village was successfully built and managed in only two years?

"Where did you hire this butler to be so capable?" Lu Liangqing couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the butler of a high-ranking official's family was exiled to the people?"

From Lu Liangqing's point of view, Zhujiazhuangzi can have such a demeanor, which means that the person who manages him must be very powerful, and such a person cannot be a young man who has not yet grown up, so it can only be the butler who has always been cheerful .

With such ability, I am afraid that he did not come from some high-ranking official family.

Old Tang was cheerful. Of course he was very happy to be valued so much, but it was a pity that he didn't know much about managing a village. If he was asked to fight with bandits, he would definitely be better at it.

"Guest, you are thinking wrong. I am only responsible for safeguarding the safety of the house, managing the village and so on. It all depends on our young master!" Old Tang explained.

If Zhu Tao explained this to Zhu Liangqing, it was inevitable that Wang Po would be suspected of selling melons and boasting.

"What, it turned out to be a village managed by this young man? Impossible, even if it was me, I probably wouldn't be able to do it, not to mention it only took two years?" Lu Liangqing couldn't believe it.

Old Tang shook his head with a smile and stopped talking.

"Guest, although you may not believe it, the boy still has some experience in such trivial matters as managing a village." Zhu Tao sat on the grand master's chair beside him and took a sip of tea.

"Then tell me, how to stop stealing from each other in the village?"

In the village, stealing from each other is the root of all evil. Lu Liangqing is also a person from the village, and he especially understands this truth. Many big cases of villagers exterminating each other may be caused by one family stealing another's rice or other worthless things. thing.

But in this era and environment with extremely low productivity, stealing can easily cause hatred, and hatred leads to killing.

"Isn't that simple?" Zhu Tao took a sip of tea and felt that this guest knew the countryside well, but he didn't seem very smart: "As long as the villagers are rich, who will steal things?"

"Even if someone still steals something, the person who gets stolen will not break the law for such a little thing."

Lu Liangqing almost laughed out loud, making everyone rich?What's the difference between this and why not eat minced meat?The reason why villages are generally governed by the clan is because they do not obey the law. The people in the village are generally poor, and the law cannot help them, so they don't care about the law.

Let every villager have money, that is a dream.

"Young man, what you said is too simple." Lu Liangqing was a little disappointed. He didn't think this young man could manage a village well, and he didn't think he was as talented as Mu Yun said.

In Mu Yun's mouth, this young man is omnipotent and overwhelms a generation of young people, but in Lu Liangqing's eyes, he is just a young child.

"Why are you laughing, sir?" Zhu Tao asked.

Lu Liangqing smiled and shook his head: "Young Master Zhu's family is still too young, so they are a little naive. Wanting the whole village to have money is not just a matter of talking."

There are two villages in Lu Liangqing's own fief, and it is not easy to keep people from starving to death in the village.

Old Tang said with a smile: "Master, please tell this guest about our village."

Zhu Tao didn't care about Lu Liangqing's arrogant tone at first, and he saw off the guests as soon as he was ready to chat, but when Old Tang said that, he cared a little bit, and Old Tang didn't take anyone seriously.

Let him explain it, which means that Old Tang thinks that this guest has a good background, and this is a subtle reminder to himself to show off his talents and knowledge, and form a good relationship.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it." Although Zhu Tao didn't care, he still spoke according to Old Tang's words.

"It's really not easy to make the whole village rich. If it's in a remote mountainous area, let alone make the whole village rich, I'm afraid I'd be hungry and eat dirt."

"But who made our village happen to be near the outskirts of Beijing? This place is very expensive. As long as there is no problem in thinking, it is only a matter of time before we want to get rich."

"Not to mention anything else, just say that recently I am organizing villagers to grow fruits and vegetables, which can make a lot of money."

"Where are we, the suburbs of Beijing, the closest to those rich people, and these people don't lack money, they only lack delicious food. We grow fruits and vegetables in the whole village, why are we afraid that we won't be able to make money?"

"And as long as you have money, who will do those sneaky things?"

Zhu Tao talked eloquently: "Mr. may not know, but for the kid, the art of making money is just a handy trick!"
