Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

“Haha, we know that you are an ambitious person, and you are willing to work for the Ming Dynasty!

I am willing to make our Ming Dynasty better!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard Liu Lian's answer.

As he said this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Still in a good mood.

Liu Bowen closed his eyes feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Mr. Liu, don't be like this.

When the child grows up, you will eventually have to let go and let him go out and explore the world.

Especially your son, he is a truly capable person.

If we don't let him do anything, wouldn't that be a waste of his talent?

Don't worry, Mr. Liu, just go and do it!
We have a firm attitude on this matter.

This land survey must be done and must be done well!

We will not compromise on our support for this matter.

Who is trying to stop this matter?

We will never be polite on this side!
Now that things have come to this, what else can Liu Bowen say?
We can only bow down to show our support for this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang talked to them here for a while.

After finalizing the matter, Liu Lian and Liu Bowen left and returned home.

After getting on the car, Liu Lian wanted to say something to Liu Bowen, but Liu Bowen waved his hand, indicating that Liu Lian didn't need to say more.

He just closed his eyes and rested, not saying a word all the way...

Such a reaction made Liu Lian even more uneasy.

However, no matter how nervous he was, deep down, he did not regret making such a decision.

If he were to choose again, he would still make the same choice.

There will be no discounts in this matter...

"Father, I... I am an unfilial child. I have gone against your expectations and made this choice..."

After returning home, Liu Lian once again admitted his mistake to Liu Bowen and knelt on the ground.

Liu Bowen sighed and reached out to help Liu Lian up.

“Now that things have come to this, what’s the point of saying these things?
Dad knows what you are thinking in your heart, and he also knows what you want to do.

I don't want to spend my life like this.

But...measuring land is really different from other things.

This matter involves the interests of many people.

I don’t know how many people will object.

From the local government officials to the gentry and common people.

They are all staunch opponents of Dutian.

Including Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.

The situation there is extremely complicated.
This is not an easy job for you.

Instead, they used a knife to cut the flesh from those people.

There is an old saying that cutting off a person's financial resources is like killing his parents.

I don't know how many people's parents you will kill when you go to farm.

It attracts the most hatred.

The place where the land is first measured will inevitably be the place where the struggle is most intense.

The water is too deep, and you are an honest person.

As a father, I am really afraid that you will not be able to control yourself, and if you are not careful, something bad will happen to you.

If this is true, then this is a big deal.

How do you let Dad live?"

Liu Lian knelt down before Liu Bowen and said, "Father, I am an unfilial child and I have caused you worry.

However, as scholars like us, who live between heaven and earth, how can we not do something just because of difficulties and obstacles?

If you always look back and forth before doing anything, weigh the pros and cons, and shrink back from doing anything, then who should do such things?
There are some things that someone has to step up and do.

Instead of relying on others, rely on yourself.

Who made me your son?

With a father like you around, I have to do certain things.

Moreover, because of your reputation and the things you have done, many things and a lot of trouble, in fact, even if the children do nothing, they will come to you.

In this case, it is better to follow your heart and do your best.

You don't have to live carefully and cautiously in everything.

Even if the child pays some price for this, even if it means losing his life, it doesn't matter.

I just can’t show my filial piety to you.

This time, I went there with the determination to die.

I am not even afraid of death, so how could I be afraid of those local opponents?
Hearing what his son said, Liu Bowen couldn't help but sigh.

He found that he didn't know his son well enough.

I have always avoided him from entering the officialdom.

Even if he entered the officialdom, he was only given some sinecure position or was asked to teach.

I don't want him to do anything else.

I always felt that my son was not suitable for doing these things, and he would easily get caught up in conflicts and suffer great losses.

Now I realize that this is not the case.

My son considers many things more thoroughly than I do.

I underestimated my son a little.

He also forgot to consider what his son really wanted.

This made Liu Bowen both happy and relieved.

I felt uncomfortable and scared again.

My son has really grown up.

But even though I thought so, I was still worried about what my son would do next.

This time, the situation is truly fraught with danger.

Now that things have come to this, he can't say anything more.

“If you want to do it, then do it.

Now that I think about it, I thought some things were a bit too simple.

However, before we go to do anything, let's go to Shuangshui Village for a walk first."

Hearing my father say this, it means he understands me.

Liu Lian couldn't help but his eyes turned red.

He kowtowed to Liu Bowen again.

Many times, people are trying to prove to their parents that they are not as weak as their parents imagine, and that they have certain abilities.

Many times, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of hard work to get a word of recognition from parents.

It can bring tears to many people's eyes.

"Father, you are right, we should indeed go to Shuangshui Village to meet Qiuyan.

I don’t know when I will be able to come back after I leave.

It would be nice to meet Qiu Yan, too."

When Liu Bowen heard Liu Lian mention his granddaughter, he couldn't help but smile.

He liked this granddaughter very much.

But after a moment, Liu Bowen shook his head.

“You’re not quite right.

This time when I went to Shuangshui Village, it was true that I saw Qiuyan.

But the most important thing is not to see Qiu Yan, but to see Mei Yin. "

Meet Mei Yin?
Liu Lian was stunned when he heard what his father said.

Seeing this, Liu Bowen couldn't help but pick up the book, rolled it up and hit Liu Lian on the head.

"Why, even now, are you still not satisfied with the grandson-in-law I chose?

Are you still looking down on him?"

Liu Lian hurriedly shook his head: "No!"

"No? You think I can't see?
You kid, you must change this concept in the future!
Mei Yin, my good grandson-in-law, is not as simple as you think!
He is smarter than you.

Why should I marry Qiuyan to him?

It's because you are too straightforward.

I am here, and I can often still look after you and protect you from wind and rain.

If I were gone, given your personalities and abilities, you would definitely be in great danger and wouldn't be able to survive long.

Now, with Xiao Yin as a son-in-law, things are different.

He will definitely help you in many things.

For example, nowadays, going to Jiangxi to farm is an extremely dangerous thing.

In this matter, it is necessary to listen to your opinion as a son-in-law.

His opinion matters, more than mine!"

Although Liu Lian knew long ago that his father was very optimistic about Mei Yin.

And I know that Mei Yin is not an ordinary person.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

However, I have never understood it so deeply or felt so shocked as I do now.

He really didn't expect that his father would say such words when he was preparing to go to Jiangxi to do the land reclamation work!

Mei Yin’s opinion is more important than his father’s!

While feeling shocked, he immediately nodded vigorously, indicating that he would definitely keep his father's words in mind.

Never dare to forget.

Looking at the time, he found that there was still some time before dark. Liu Bowen did not wait until tomorrow, but took Liu Lian and left here directly and went straight to Shuangshui Village.

This matter concerns the Ming Dynasty and the fate of his son. Liu Bowen doesn't want to wait any longer.

He felt that it was necessary to listen to Mei Yin's opinion on such an important matter.

Even if I don't want to listen to Mei Yin's opinion, I have to go there and tell Mei Yin about this.

Not to mention that Mei Yin is different from ordinary people and is truly talented.

It can often bring some surprises to people.

……

Mei Yin was somewhat surprised to learn that Liu Bowen and Liu Lian had come at this time.

He was not surprised that Liu Bowen came.

Because Lao Liu always comes here once or twice a month.

However, it was a bit strange that Liu Lian, the father-in-law, came here.

After all, from the time he and Liu Qiuyan got engaged until they got married, he only came two or three times.

This time, it was really strange that the father and son came together.

However, he then thought about some of the recent events that had happened in the court.

And beyond history, there are some things that Zhu Yuanzhang did afterwards.

I already have a rough guess in my mind.

I'm afraid there's a good chance that Liu Lian, my father-in-law, will go to Jiangxi to serve as the governor and preside over the land survey, just like in history...

"Mr. Qingtian, father-in-law, you two came at the right time.

I was preparing to make a big plate of chicken and some iced sour plum soup.

You will taste my cooking later."

Mei Yin smiled and saluted Liu Bowen and Liu Lian.

As for Liu Bowen, he still habitually called him Mr. Qingtian instead of grandfather.

I always feel that calling him Mr. Qingtian is more intimate and has more meaning than calling him grandfather.

Mei Yin had already explained this matter to Liu Bowen before.

Liu Bowen doesn't care about this.

“Hahaha, the two of us just came here at dinner time.

I’m in for a treat tonight.”

Liu Bowen said with a smile.

Liu Lian also said that he wanted to try Mei Yin's cooking tonight.

Liu Bowen is quite shrewd and can keep his composure.

No one mentioned their coming at this time.

Mei Yin didn't ask either.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

No matter how big the matter is, fill your stomach first.

Moreover, Liu Bowen and the other two had just arrived, and it was obvious that they were planning to stay overnight.

There was too much time for conversation in the evening.

So he is not in a hurry for the time being.

Mei Yin has already processed the chicken.

However, the side dishes originally prepared were a bit small, just enough for them to eat.

Now that Liu Bowen and the others have arrived, it is natural to add some side dishes.

At the same time, I made a few more pancakes.

Heat oil in a pan and add chicken.

Although this chicken is free-range, it has good food and is quite oily.

So Mei Yin didn't rush to add water.

Instead, fry the chicken in the pan for a while to release the oil.

This way, the chicken won’t be too greasy when you eat it later.

But chicken soup will be more fragrant, and it can also make the chicken firmer and taste better.

When the oil is almost cooked, add cinnamon, peppercorns and bay leaves.

Then add the sauce, onion, ginger, garlic and some rice wine, stir it all over, and the flavor comes out all at once, it's especially fragrant.

Stir-fry for a while, add water, cover the pot, and start stewing...

About an hour later, Mei Yin put the prepared carrots and other side dishes in.

This is the case in the Ming Dynasty now, there are no potatoes yet.

If it is potatoes, you can peel a few potatoes and cut them into cubes, then stew them together. It will taste better after stewing.

The potatoes are soft and glutinous, and full of the flavor of chicken soup.

It tastes especially good.

After the carrots are cooked, add the chopped peppers, chopped green onions, minced garlic and other side dishes, stir them, and serve.

While doing this, the wide noodles were also prepared.

Take out the noodles, rinse them with cold water, and put them in a bowl.

Pour the stewed chicken and the soup on top.

The big plate of chicken noodles is now ready.

The food was brought to the table in the yard, and several people ate together.

Princess Ningguo and Liu Qiuyan were all impatient.

Because she had already tasted the delicious big plate of chicken noodles made by her husband.

Liu Bowen was also looking forward to it.

He had long been aware of Mei Yin's cooking skills.

Liu Lian felt a little strange at this time.

This was the first time he had seen Mei Yin's novel approach.

At the same time, people's perception of Mei Yin was also changing rapidly.

Because after he came here, he saw that his son-in-law and daughter got along very well with each other during the cooking process.

Although his daughter was only a concubine, she was really just like his father said at the beginning.

She will not be looked down upon because of her status as a concubine.

Both princesses were very nice to her.

They all felt relieved and felt that their father's choice was right.

After starting to eat, Liu Lian unconsciously sped up his eating pace.

My son-in-law's cooking skills are really good. He can cook such delicious meals!
The meat is delicious, and the side dishes are also delicious.

Especially the noodles soaked in juice, which are not only chewy but also taste great.

It even tastes better than meat!
After eating and drinking, Liu Bowen and Mei Yin started to talk about business.

Liu Bowen had no reservations and told Mei Yin all of this.

Then he looked at Mei Yin and said, "Xiao Yin, think about it, is there any good way to deal with this matter?"
