Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

"Call me brother?"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone sitting there was stunned.

Li Xiao thought it was nothing. He and Zhu Yuanzhang were sworn brothers.

Anyway, he was used to calling him "Big Brother" this time, and it became easy for him to say it.

But other people were a little flattered.

Without exception, these people were originally citizens of the Ming Empire, and they were all brought in from outside by Li Xiao.

Even after entering the fairyland of Taoyuan, they still have a natural awe for Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Empire.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang eats at the same table with them openly and calls them brothers.

It's something they can't even think about.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Li Xiongzhi subconsciously refused.

Tian Zhiwei also quickly echoed: "Your Majesty, although ordinary people have not read many books, they still know this etiquette."

"How can we be as virtuous as brothers to the Holy One?" Li Liang said.

After speaking, several people stood up directly, looking flattered.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at several people and listened to what they said.

He smiled heartily and said: "This is not the Ming Dynasty now, this is Taoyuan Wonderland."

"I am no longer the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I am just an ordinary old man who came to this fairyland later than you."

"If we follow the first-come, first-served principle, I have to call you seniors."

"Okay, don't shirk it."

"You can be brothers with that boy Li Xiao, but can't you be brothers with Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Is it possible that you look down on me, Zhu Yuanzhang?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and pretended to be angry.

Li Xiao on the side also helped: "You guys, stop pretending."

"My eldest brother is a cheerful person. He says cheerful things and does cheerful things."

"Now that he's said it, then you guys can't act like cowards."

"Li Xiao is right." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "It is fate that we can get together."

"Everyone, please calm down and stop being so coy."

When Li Xiongzhi and others heard Li Xiao's words, the expressions on their faces began to change.

It is impossible to say that he does not want to be brothers with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Being able to be called a brother to a figure like Zhu Yuanzhang can last for several years.

Furthermore, they really admired Zhu Yuanzhang, a grassroots emperor.

For such a strong man with means, skills and abilities, they are definitely willing to make friends.

"That's it. I'd rather obey your orders than be respectful." Li Xiongzhi clasped his hands and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, please accept my bow!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply.

With Li Xiongzhi taking the lead, others behind him followed suit and began to bow to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Originally this was just an ordinary meal, but now it has become a sworn feast for these people.

With this scene, the atmosphere at the wine table became more harmonious.

And Zhu Yuanzhang has become the common big brother of these people.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that he would receive so many younger brothers after his death.

But the most depressing one is Zhu Ningyun.

Originally, he wanted Li Xiao to help him persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to drink so much.

Unexpectedly, instead of trying to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to stop, he became more and more enthusiastic as he drank.

And she has so many grandfathers for no reason.

She calls Zhu Yuanzhang Imperial Grandfather, but these people call Zhu Yuanzhang eldest brother, so he is not Zhu Ningyun's grandfather according to seniority.

Li Xiongzhi and Tian Zhiwei did not expect that their seniority would skyrocket after having a drink with Zhu Yuanzhang.

He has been directly promoted to the grandfather level. This is simply a super senior level.

"Brother, you must try this fish."

"I spent a lot of effort to catch this from the river."

"Don't think this fish is small, but it is very strong. It almost dragged me away at first."

"And after my research, I found that this fish meat is not only extremely delicious, but it can also improve eyesight and clear the mind."

"After eating this fish, my eyesight is getting better and better. I can see the ants on the ground clearly."

Tian Zhiwei pushed a plate of fish in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and stretched out his chopsticks directly in front of the fish pushed over by Tian Zhiwei: "You must try it."

"Brother, you have to taste your chicken too."

"This chicken is no ordinary chicken."

"I have been digging spiritual plants in the mountains to raise these chickens."

"After eating these chickens, I feel comfortable and refreshed."

"After eating these chickens, my mind is getting brighter and brighter."

Li Xiongzhi pushed a plate of chicken in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

Seeing that Li Xiongzhi was also so enthusiastic, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't shirk it. He nodded and ate another piece of chicken: "Not bad! Very good!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the fish and chicken, Li Xiongzhi and Tian Zhiwei looked proud.

When Li Liang, the carpenter on the other side, saw this, he was not at all disappointed.

"Brother, one of them is a cook and the other is a chicken farmer. I am a carpenter."

"There's nothing edible. I'll give you a gadget I made myself."

After Li Liang finished speaking, he touched it from his arms.

He pulled out a palm-sized wooden box.

"Brother, I call this thing the Magic Box."

"There is a mechanism inside. When you press it, it turns into a wooden horse that can travel eight hundred miles."

After speaking, Li Liang pushed the wooden box in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Facing this novel gadget, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously more interested.

He reached out and took the 'Magic Box', and pressed it on the mechanism as Li Liang said.

I saw that this palm-sized box turned into a wooden horse as tall as one person after a period of changes.

"Then how to put it away?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"There is also a mechanism. Once you press it, it will be put away." Li Liang replied.

"How fast can your Trojan horse go? How long does it take to travel eight hundred miles? It will be useless after it has traveled eight hundred miles?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked several questions in succession.

He was very interested in this magical box.

Because this is his occupational disease as an emperor.

When he heard about the function of this magical box, his first thought was to apply this magical box to the transportation of grain and grass.

If such magical boxes were released in large quantities in the army, it would definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to the logistics of food, grass and heavy transportation.

You know, a wooden horse doesn't know how to get tired, and it doesn't need to eat grass.

"Brother, the speed of this wooden horse is no worse than the best horses in the world."

"A journey of eight hundred miles can be completed in one day."

"Because the fairy wood from our Taoyuan Wonderland is used to make this magic box, once the fairy energy is exhausted, it can no longer be used."

"You only need to take it back and wait for three days to restore the immortal energy on its own." Li Liang replied.

"Okay! It's really a good thing!" Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "Wouldn't it be perfect if it could be used to transport grain and grass to the Ming Dynasty?"

"You can travel eight hundred miles a day and don't need to eat forage. The key is that it's easy to carry."

"It can even be equipped with elite troops and used as cavalry for surprise attacks."

"Brother, you are right." Li Liang replied: "But this thing can only be used in our Taoyuan Wonderland." "It cannot be used outside of Taoyuan Wonderland."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head in disappointment: "Then this is a pity."

Hearing the conversation between several people, Li Xiao smiled and said: "Brother, you have come to Taoyuan Wonderland, why do you still worry about the affairs of the court?"

"My father-in-law will naturally handle it well with the court."

"Besides, I left a train for the imperial court."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "You're right, the affairs of the Ming Dynasty are not what I should worry about now."

"Even if something goes wrong with Daming, you will still be here."

"It doesn't matter so much, drink! Drink!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the dinner table raised their glasses in unison.

Although the wine in this fairyland is not harmful to the body, it is actually a good thing for health.

But this wine is still wine, and it still makes these people a little drunk.

As the big brother, Zhu Yuanzhang bore the brunt.

His face was already a little red, and his voice gradually became louder.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he drank so happily.

Looking at these people in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang even felt a little envious in his eyes.

At the beginning, he just wanted to have enough food to eat, and he also hoped to be an ordinary citizen and live a stable life.

It can be said that as long as he can have a mouth to eat, he will not rebel.

But in the end, he still took the road to the top and cleared the copy of the Ming Empire alone.

Only after he sat on the throne did he realize that the strong are lonely, ruthless, and lonely.

He thought that there was no way he could go back to the life of an ordinary person because he was already the emperor.

But it is different now.

In this paradise, he is just an ordinary person.

He could return to the ordinary life he had always dreamed of.

"Li Xiao, didn't you say before that everyone in the village has a clear division of labor and everything they should do?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, it's something everyone has to do."

"In that case, what are you going to do for us?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

Li Xiao was stunned when he heard this.

In terms of status, Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, so naturally he does not need to do these menial tasks.

In terms of seniority, Zhu Yuanzhang is his grandfather, so he doesn't have to do these menial tasks.

Therefore, Li Xiao had no idea of ​​letting Zhu Yuanzhang work from beginning to end.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang would actually ask for work himself.

This question really stumped Li Xiao.

"Brother, you can't do it."

"How can you do such menial work if you are a noble person and a noble person?"

Li Xiongzhi, Tian Zhiwei and others on the side also agreed.

"Brother, just leave these rough jobs to us. There is no need to trouble you."

"Brother, when you come to our Taoyuan Wonderland, you just need to take good care of yourself. Leave the rest to your brothers."

"Brother, if you condescend to do these menial tasks, wouldn't you be a disgrace to your brothers?"

Zhu Ningyun also comforted him: "Grandpa Huang, just take care of yourself with peace of mind."

"Don't think so much about the rest. Li Xiao will take care of it naturally."

As his granddaughter, he would naturally not let Zhu Yuanzhang work.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Ningyun lovingly, and replied with a smile: "Ningyun, Li Xiao, we know what you are thinking."

"But we can't come to this paradise to eat and drink for free. We are also people with hands and feet."

"It's not like we haven't done the work you do before."

"Besides, if you don't find something for us to do, are you planning to suffocate us to death?"

"Since we are all brothers, naturally we, the eldest brothers, will not sit back and enjoy the benefits."

"Then we must share the joys and sorrows with our brothers."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was very firm.

He does not want to be separated from the masses, nor does he want to become a privileged class.

Now he just wants to experience the pastoral life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

He hadn't lived this kind of life for who knows how many years, and he missed it a little.

"Brother, since you said so, I won't force you." Li Xiao replied calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so stubborn that he did not intend to continue arguing on this issue.

Anyway, Taoyuan Wonderland is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Brother, let's do this."

"In the next few days, you can walk around the village, take a look, and even experience the work they do."

"When the time comes, you can do whatever you want."

Li Xiao planned to let Zhu Yuanzhang handle it on his own.

It would be outrageous to ask him, the grandson-in-law, to directly arrange things. It would be better to let Zhu Yuanzhang go and see for himself and do whatever he wants.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Okay, that's it."

"Let's go to the village and look around tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiongzhi and Tian Zhiwei rushed to speak.

"Brother, come and learn breeding from me."

"Chicken, duck and fish are indispensable for every meal." Li Xiongzhi extended an invitation to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Brother, what's so good about raising chickens?"

"Come and learn how to cook with me."

"We can do whatever we want to eat." Tian Zhiwei also extended an invitation to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Bah, what's there to learn from a cook?"

"Brother, if you want to learn, learn how to be a carpenter from me."

"Carpentry is a technical job, and not everyone can learn it."

Li Liang also extended an invitation to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Suddenly, the topic at the wine table suddenly turned to what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to do.

Several people in the village wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to follow them.

After all, there is an emperor working with him, so it is difficult not to brag about his talent.

The wine table, which had been somewhat quiet, became lively again.

But no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang had not decided what to do in the end.

As for what to do specifically, he still has to wait for him to experience it himself before making a decision.

At this moment, the reception feast for Zhu Yuanzhang ended amidst the enthusiasm of everyone.

After eating, Li Xiao sent Zhu Yuanzhang back to his room.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his empty room and sighed: "Li Xiao, you don't need to give us such a big house."

"We can't live here alone. On the contrary, it looks deserted."

After hearing this, Li Xiao certainly knew the obsession in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

After all, I still miss Queen Ma a little bit.
