"Potatoes?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw this kind of food for the first time, and he was as curious as Grandma Liu when he entered the Grand View Garden.

"Grandpa Huang is delicious, let me teach you how to eat..." Zhu Hao said, peeling off the blackened potato skin with his own hands.

The scent inside immediately wafted out, filling the room with an enticing scent.

Attracted by the scent, Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite of the potato.

In an instant, his taste buds told him that his uncle's potatoes are really delicious.

"Grandson, where did the potatoes come from?" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.

As an emperor who was born from begging, he knew all kinds of grass roots and tree bark, and any food that no one else had eaten.

Potatoes he can guarantee he has not eaten.

"It's sold at the barbecue stalls on the street. According to the peddler, this thing was invented by Mr. Zhang. It is said that to promote the economy, he drew up an employment proposition to let the unemployed go to him to learn this skill."

Mao Xiang knew about this and was busy reporting it.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished eating the baked potatoes, he was not happy.Recalling Zhang Song's two-day conversation, his face darkened.

Mao Xiang saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was unhappy again, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just remained silent beside him.

"I suddenly felt tired, so Mao Xiang immediately prepared his chariot and horses and returned to the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang has been pondering whether to take Zhang Song off.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang never hesitated when dealing with people.

Even if no evidence is found to prove that the official has solid evidence, he will be dealt with with trumped-up charges.

Now he doesn't know what's going on, he just doesn't want to kill Zhang Song.

Mao Xiang took the order and immediately prepared the chariots and horses.

Liuhe County is more than 30 miles away from Jinling. After more than half an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back early, and Prince Zhu Biao was shocked.

Busily put down the memorial in hand and went to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Why did the father return to the palace early? Didn't he say that he will inspect Liuhe for a few days?" Zhu Biao bowed.

"That's all, it's our father and son, there is no need to be polite."

Zhu Biao got up and asked again: "Father... are you okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has been in a bad mood these days and wants to vent.

If Zhu Biao hadn't rushed over, he might have been throwing things and swearing at people right now.

"I'm fine..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face told Zhu Biao that it was nothing to blame.Apart from the one in Liuhe County, who else could make the emperor angry and aggrieved?

"Where is Hao'er?" Zhu Biao hurriedly asked when he saw that Hao'er was not there.

"Send it back to the East Palace, Biao'er, what if you say I'm going to kill that guy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Zhang Song very much.

This guy has said things against him many times.

"Father... No matter how you look at this person, he thinks he is good. Although he is a bit arrogant."

"It's not just a little crazy, it's obviously very crazy!" Zhu Yuanzhang remembered those words about the construction of the station, and he was so angry that he threw the things on the table on the ground.

Mao Xiang, who was waiting outside the door, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Father, I will send someone to arrest him immediately, escort him to the capital, and wait for his punishment." Zhu Biao did this to defend Zhang Song.

Had to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, then he really had no way to protect him.

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao blankly and said, "Biaoer, you probably like Zhang Song very much, right?"

"Reporting to my father, of course my child likes it. As a human being, it is not surprising that he has shortcomings, right? Besides, the entire Liuhe County is governed so well by him. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, he is really the only one."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Talent? In the eyes of this emperor, he is almost a demon talent."

"Father, what do you want to do?"

"What can we do? Love and hate." For the first time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that dealing with Zhang Song was so tricky.

"In a dilemma, choose the one that benefits the most. I think it is more beneficial to keep him than to kill him." Zhu Biao always seizes favorable opportunities to speak for Zhang Song.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "You conveyed Mao Xiangzhen's will, and reported Zhang Song's itinerary every day, and there was no one report every day. I am tired and want to rest..."

Zhu Biao took the order and resigned.

Liuhe County.

In the county office...

Zhang Song is dealing with official business.

A masked man in black was waiting for his orders beside him.

After finishing the processing, the station construction handed an instruction to the man in black and said, "It's very secret at this time, be careful not to be discovered by Jin Yiwei."

"Master, there's no need to be so mysterious about this, right?" the man in black was puzzled.

"Of course we have to keep it a secret. How dare these big households contradict the county's orders and obey them." The man in black is his patrolling guard.

A special yamen team formed by Zhang Song.

It is distinguished from tax collectors and patrol officers.

In ancient times, yamen servants did a lot, including law and order, collecting taxes, suppressing small-scale rebellions, suppressing mountain bandits, and so on.

But for Zhang Song, he divided the yamen servants into three categories.

One category is only responsible for taxes.

The first category is responsible for patrolling, ordinary law and order.

Another type of yamen servants are those with strong cyber martial arts and ruthless means.They are responsible for investigating big cases, exterminating bandits and other things.

They are often absent from the yamen.

Those who follow are those big households, to see if they have secretly acted in secret.

These big households are more or less involved with the officials in the court.

Even if Zhang Song issued a policy, they often have one thing on the surface and another on the back.

In Zhang Song's order.

The fields of large families must be recorded in detail.

But the big households only reported one-third of the land.

This is bad for taxes.

Not long after the man in black took the order, all the big households on the list were arrested and taken into the yamen.

Rich man Lu is the biggest rich man in Liuhe County.There are thousands of acres of land under his name.

It was also he who took the lead in cooperating with other rich men to act positively and negatively.

Zhang Song changed into his official uniform, sat upright on his seat, Jing Mutang clapped his hands and said, "Master Lu... I will give you one last chance now, if you can truthfully report the number of acres of land, I will save you from suffering."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang...you try to move me? I have a backer. If she moves her fingers, let alone you, Mr. Zhang, even Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and the other two would not dare to do anything to me."

Rich Lu glanced arrogantly at Zhang Songdao.

"Give me a [-]-big kick first. Then pay the tax. If you are missing one or two, you will be hit with [-] big boards. It depends on whether your ass is hard or the official's water and fire stick..."

The yamen servants checked the fields under his name clearly.

Let him tell the truth, he is unwilling, and Zhang Song has endured to the extreme.

According to Zhang Song's words, the yamen servants beat rich man Lu down and beat him up.

Rich Lu's wailing sound came from outside the hall.

After playing fifty boards, rich man Lu was pulled in like a dead dog and thrown in front of Zhang Song.

Zhang Song looked at the rich man Lu who was like a dead dog with a smile and said: "Master Lu, I don't care what kind of backer you have in the court, but you are under my governance, in other words, I am your parent officer, you have to submit to me Tube."

"Yes, yes, my lord... I'll pay the tax right away, and it's a lot of money." Rich Lu said he was submissive, but he was cursing in his heart, boy, just wait, I will let you die without a place to bury you.
