Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 27
When Zhu Jingjing was chatting with Zhang Yifan, her personal maid, Qiu Ju, winked and asked the guards to pull aside the two blind guys, Daniu and Erniu, so as not to obstruct others' eyes.

Zhang Yifan pointed to Liujia Village down the mountain and introduced it to Zhu Jingjing: "Did you see that my village is basically all thatched houses. It's just fine if it rains, but once the rainy season comes, almost every household has leaks. Due to the situation, the ground is covered with loess, and the house may become muddy. Can you imagine?"

"Well, it must be uncomfortable to live in!" Zhu Jingjing listened, said something sympathetic, and then immediately said to Zhang Yifan, "You can live in the city now and buy a good house. After the rainy season is over, you You can go back to the village if you want, it’s the easiest way!”

Zhang Yifan smiled after hearing this, turned to look at Zhu Jingjing and said: "Have you forgotten my plan? You gave me so much money, and I am planning to set up a village community. There is no reason to hide in the city first. I plan to take the first step , just to solve the accommodation problem of the whole village. This proves that I have the ability to lead them to live a good life, and then it will be much easier to do other things!"

Zhu Jingjing actually doesn't have much concept of money. After all, she is a person who has no worries about food and clothing.However, if you want to renovate all the houses in the village, any normal person will know that this money will definitely be indispensable.

So, she asked worriedly: "Is the money enough? If not, I still have some jewelry that I can give you!"

As long as Zhang Yifan does well, she will have the toughness to speak.Therefore, when Zhang Yifan wanted to do something, she supported him without much thought.

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

The previous 1000 taels, her maid said, was all her money.Now that he heard that he was going to do something, he even said that he would give her jewelry.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Jingjing and said nothing for a moment.

To be honest, after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he was actually a little depressed.

Because the activities of people in the village are generally limited to a few miles around, a trip to Nanjing City is a big deal.Because of the distance, it must be a day trip, it is impossible to stay, and basically no experience.

In other words, Zhang Yifan and them had no common language and could not speak together at all.

However, after Zhu Jingjing appeared, he was not only young and beautiful, but also from a good family background. When chatting, he definitely didn't talk about trivial matters from his parents. Being able to follow his topics made Zhang Yifan feel like he was talking happily.

Also, he could feel that Zhu Jingjing was very fond of him, and he also enjoyed Zhu Jingjing's good opinion of him.Yesterday, when she heard her fourth brother say that she would not come in the future, she already felt a sense of loss and was a little reluctant to never see Zhu Jingjing again.

In this ancient time, in Zhang Yifan's opinion, there was no such thing as vigorous love.In his physical body, if he could marry Zhu Jingjing, the couple would be able to talk happily, which seemed to be a good thing.

Of course, this is a lot of nonsense. The most important thing is that Zhu Jingjing is beautiful!
"What's wrong with you? Do I have flowers on my face?" Zhu Jingjing found Zhang Yifan looking at her blankly, and immediately blushed. She felt her heart beating violently, so she asked in a lowered voice.

When she said this, Zhang Yifan came back to his senses, saw Zhu Jingjing's shy look, and said with a smile: "It's not that you have flowers on your face, it's that you are just a flower. It's so beautiful!"

If it was a stranger, this would probably be classified as teasing.

However, Zhu Jingjing listened, and although her face turned redder, she asked with excitement and surprise: "Is it true?"

Not to mention the joy in the little girl's heart after hearing such words.

"Of course it's true. Could it be that it was cooked?" Zhang Yifan continued to tease after hearing this.

When Zhu Jingjing heard this, even a fool could see the joy that surged from the bottom of her heart.At this time, she was really like a blooming flower, especially beautiful.

Zhang Yifan was a little dumbfounded when he saw the heroic and charming girl!It seems a bit contradictory, but it appears perfectly on the girl in front of me.

Zhu Jingjing looked at Zhang Yifan and looked at her blankly. This time, she didn't speak, enjoying this moment very much.

Qiu Ju, not far away, is always observing this side.After seeing this scene, I hesitated for a long time, and finally started coughing repeatedly.

Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing both came to their senses after being so disturbed by her. They both seemed a little embarrassed, but the way they looked at each other was obviously a little different from before.

Fortunately Zhu Di is not here, otherwise he would have to take out a stick and beat him.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhang Yifan saw that the time was almost up and led Zhu Jingjing back to the village.

Almost all the villagers in Liujia Village were gathered at the head of the village, discussing the registration of the village community that was about to begin.

Originally, some of them wanted to talk to Zhang Yifan for their own benefit, but when they found that Zhang Yifan had appeared with Zhu Jingjing, they all held back.

Afterwards, he set up a table under the willow tree in front of Zhang Yifan's house, and started writing the village community's rules and regulations, personnel composition, etc. using the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he had purchased from Nanjing City.

At this time, the difficulty that no one in Liujia Village could really write emerged.

After Zhu Jingjing understood the situation, she was very surprised. She did not expect that Zhang Yifan, who she felt was very knowledgeable, could not write well, but she soon understood.After all, Zhang Yifan's life experience is here. It is strange that he can learn it by himself without a teacher and write beautiful handwriting!

After all, calligraphy requires practice and cannot be mastered in a dream.

So, she volunteered to take on the job of clerk.

When Zhu Jingjing joined, her maids and guards naturally also joined in to maintain order and help her. The scene suddenly became more orderly, and things went particularly smoothly.

In the end, Zhu Jingjing accounted for 50.00% of the shares, Zhang Yifan accounted for 30.00% of the shares, and other villagers collectively accounted for 20.00% of the shares, forming the share structure of the village community.In other words, Zhang Yifan provided money and the villagers provided people and goods to reach such an agreement.

One thing to mention here is that Zhu Jingjing refused to take it. In the end, she made her own decision and all the shares were put in Zhang Yifan's name.

At this time, everyone believed that Zhang Yifan owned so many shares because of Zhu Jingjing's influence.

I have been busy for almost an afternoon before I finally completed this matter.Later, under the urging of Qiu Ju and others, Zhu Jingjing did not dare to stay up all night, so she hurried back to Nanjing on horseback.

What no one noticed was that a passer-by who stopped by their village met up with his companions after walking a few miles, and they all followed Zhu Jingjing on horseback not far behind, rushing back to Nanjing city.
