King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

"Go to hell, you devil."

Shanshan didn't understand why she was like this, but she couldn't help but think of things she had never experienced before: deviations in thinking and physiological reactions.

Zhu Tan also understood that he was just talking. Since Shanshan didn't want to, he would just go along with her wishes. It would be meaningless if he didn't give her any benefits and she just left like that.

This time, Zhu Tan discovered a whole new world for Shanshan. She then realized how naive her previous thoughts were. Now, she has really flown to the sky and can never come down again.

Zhu Tan had had enough fun now. He looked at the muddy Shan Shan and said with a grin, "It's really top-notch. Don't worry. I'll help you develop it in a few days."

Shanshan snorted, but she also knew that Zhu Tan's words were not nice, so she just glared at Zhu Tan without saying anything.

What a relief! What a relief! He had to do something to shoulder the burden of two people's survival.

For two consecutive days, Zhu Tan's results were still very good. At least the two of them were able to fill their stomachs and took some salt, so they did not show any signs of weakness.

In the past two days, Zhu Tan had already passed through the jungle and was heading in the opposite direction of where they were previously.

Seeing this mountain path, Zhu Tan felt relieved, "We are finally out. Next we need to go to a crowded place to ensure our safety."

Shanshan finally felt relieved. She was really scared. On the one hand, she was afraid of these bandits, and on the other hand, she was also afraid of Chu Tianxian next to her. Although she was very scared, Zhu Tan never let her have a day of peace! She came over every day and searched everything in the house.

Zhu Tan suddenly cut the lining of his clothes with a knife, and Shan Shan couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

Dozens of golden beans and dozens of golden leaves flew out from his clothes.

Zhu Tan collected all the items, weighed them, and said, "Ten taels of gold should allow us to leave here alive."

Shanshan asked curiously: "Why did you put all this gold here?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry! Let's go to a populated area, eat first, then take a shower. You stink."

Shanshan felt embarrassed and annoyed, cursing in her heart, it’s so dirty, and you’re still eating it so happily, how can it be delicious!

After walking ten miles, the two came to a small town. There were no shops in the town. Zhu Tan knocked on the door and said that he and his wife were in trouble and wanted to rest for a while.

The people in the mountain were all simple men. Perhaps because of the gold, the couple slaughtered a goose and made steamed buns. The whole goose was gone.

After doing all this, both of them felt refreshed.

Zhu Tan said, "Father, where are we now?"

After washing up, Zhu Tan asked about the old man and his mother.

This problem made the two elders very embarrassed, because they had only heard that the village was called Xiaowa Village, had never left the village, and didn't even know where the village was.

"Young man, I will go to the village to ask around tomorrow morning. In the past, when the villagers paid grain and taxes, they would help. It is impossible that he does not know him."

Zhu Tan thanked him quickly, then took out two golden soybeans and said, "Old sir, can you bring me two pieces of clothing? This one can no longer be used."

"Okay, okay, it's just two sets, right?

In the morning, grandma cooked a bowl of porridge and paired it with homemade kimchi, which tasted delicious.

"Young man, I checked. This place is under the jurisdiction of the capital. Yunmeng County is nearby."

Zhu Tan's mind was blank. He had floated a long distance, from the canal to Huguang!

Shanshan, who had been listening nearby, suddenly had a twinkle in his eyes and said, "I want Yunmeng."

She had planned to continue heading north, but she did not dare to speak, for fear of being entangled by Zhu Tan. It would be best if they never met again as Zhu Tan said, otherwise there would be only one way to go, and that was death.

Zhu Tan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take you to Yunmeng first, and then we'll go our separate ways!"

After thanking the old man and the mother-in-law, Zhu Tan set off immediately. Zhu Tan thought that he could go to Yunmeng, and once he arrived at the yamen, no one would be able to hurt him.

When he reached a larger town, there was no need for Zhu Tan to walk. He spent one or two taels of gold to hire a carriage, and drove a small carriage to Yunmeng, regardless of rain or shine.

After another day of traveling, it was already dark and we returned to the town the next day.

Of course Zhu Tan couldn't let Shan Shan leave like this, he had to do it no matter what!

In this way, Shanshan was tortured all night. She seemed to realize that they would never see each other again, so she simply relaxed and did whatever Zhu Tan wanted.

Zhu Tan would certainly not miss such an opportunity. He would make good use of Shanshan and make her unforgettable.

The next day, before leaving, Zhu Tan handed a piece of paper to Shan Shan, "If you have any difficulties in the future, open it and read it. Maybe I can help you. Apart from other things, love for one day is love for one day. We have been together for nearly half a month. I will not regret it."

Shan Shan pouted, "With that stinky mouth of yours, if you want to kill me, don't talk about this."

After saying that, Shanshan ran out of the restaurant, asked for the location of the county government, and headed straight there. She never expected that Zhu Tan would also come to the county government.

However, Zhu Tan had just stepped out of the restaurant when he turned back. He saw a familiar face and heard a very familiar voice.

Zhu Tan looked through the door and saw that the man riding the horse was Zhang Yuanying.

It was indeed the enemy. No, it should be coming for him. The soldiers around Zhang Yuanying might be from the Beijing camp or the government, but if they were caught by Zhang Yuanying, it would be troublesome.

He could not go back to the yamen, nor could he stay in Yunmeng, so he could only head north, hoping that someone would be looking for him.

Zhu Tan believed that after what had happened during this period of time, the family should have known about it. Since Zhang Yuanying could come, his family members would naturally come as well. He just didn't know what he would encounter.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tan asked the waiter to help, ordered a piece of ginger, painted his face yellow, then changed into the clothes the old man gave him, and then leisurely left the restaurant.

Zhang Yuanying walked out of the government office and said to Cao Da who was sitting next to him, "The Yunmeng prefect has a close relationship with us. If the Marquis of Jianchang is not dead, he will definitely ask the nearby prefectures and counties for help. This time, we must catch him and kill him before Ma Cong and Xu Tai come."

Cao Da is Cao Dong's grandson, the commander of the Tengxiang Army, Cao Dong. "Yuanying, do you think the Marquis of Jianchang is still alive? Qi Yanming, Yang Hu and others may not be coming for the Marquis of Jianchang."

"No way, you don't know about this yet. Yang Hu and his gang have been tracking Jianchang Hou. As long as Jianchang Hou is alive, they will not give up." Cao Da's eyes flashed, and he said, "Should we contact Yang Hu and his gang?"

Zhang Yuanying shook his head: "Not for now. Marquis Jianchang should be there. It's not good for us to collude with them. Xiaochang, Hengshan, and Anlu are all Yunmeng's most bandits. You give orders and hurry up to find Marquis Jianchang for me."

Zhang Yuanying left the capital secretly this time, without even telling Zhang Mao. However, he needed someone he could use, so he set his sights on the flatterer Cao Da. Cao Da was newly appointed commander and brought 500 soldiers with him.

Zhang Yuanying secretly made up his mind that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he must make this guy pay with his life.

At the same time, Ma Cong and Xu Tai were bowing and bidding farewell to the county magistrates in Hengshan.

"Master Ma, don't worry. My master's letter clearly states that I will do my best to find Marquis Jianchang."

As Ma Wensheng's disciple, the county magistrate would certainly not be stingy with his power.

Xu Tai said, "Sir, the Marquis must still be alive. I killed Qi Yanming and Yang Hu. We lost hundreds of people, but they still stayed here and didn't leave."

Ma Cong nodded, "But we can't rely entirely on them. The Marquis originally planned to go to Jiangnan, and maybe even go downstream, but I didn't expect him to come directly to Huguang."

"It's not that there aren't any, but didn't the son of Duke Dingguo lead some people there? There are also people over at the Southern Pacification Office, and they will be able to properly accommodate them."

Ma Cong pondered for a moment, "Let's find a few more days and travel along the lake to Guangdong. The emperor is really angry and summoned me. No matter if I am dead or alive, I have to take a look. I really feel bad."

Xu Tai advised: "The Marquis is a good man, he will be fine. As long as the Marquis can think positively, he will be fine."

Now the three major forces are looking for Zhu Tan, Yang Hu, Qi Yanming and others, but they were dispersed because of Xu Tai. Now there are more than 300 people left, dressed as ordinary people, still searching for Zhu Tan everywhere.

The reason why they persisted was that they discovered Xiaowa Village and confirmed that Zhu Tan was indeed not dead.

Ma Cong and Xu Tai were both acting on orders, and they could mobilize the most manpower in the government.

Zhang Yuanying, Qi Yanming and others have the same goal, which is to kill Zhu Tan and want more. So she cannot feel at ease unless she kills Zhu Tan.

As for Zhu Tan, what is he doing now? He found that he had been robbed, all the gold and silver, all the gold, all the gold, even the sword he had just taken, were gone.

“Damn it, damn it…” Zhu Tan was no longer able to speak and his mouth could hardly close.

Most importantly, she couldn't tell anyone or call the police, so she could only swallow her anger.

What should I do? Zhu Tan took a look at his clothes and decided to take his luggage and start working.

No one would have thought that Chu Tian, ​​the Marquis of Jianchang and a member of the royal family, would actually do such rough work. Who could find someone to do such a job?

Zhu Tan also experienced a new feeling. He became the lowest class person in the Ming Dynasty, working with a group of poor people and eating steamed corn bread.

This was the first time that Zhu Tan went down to the grassroots level. Compared to the superficial things she saw in the cemetery, she truly understood the hardships of the people.

Most people were starving, and most of them were peasants, or farmers, or small landowners who could barely fill their stomachs.

Zhu Tan believes that the problem lies in production. Now is the middle and late period of the Ming Dynasty and land annexation is not so serious. Although the land is scarce, it can be reclaimed!
However, how much rice can be grown per acre of land?
Zhu Tan increasingly wanted to open up the sea and introduce things like sweet potatoes as soon as possible, which could feed hundreds of millions of people no matter how they tasted.

How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty? At most, there are a few million people. If another hundred years pass, how many people will there be in the Ming Dynasty? There is strength in numbers!
Zhu Tan didn't fill his stomach either, but he received information that the pursuers were still wandering nearby, and he also saw Yang Hu from a distance.

He couldn't stay any longer, so to be on the safe side, Chu Mu chose to leave.

After much deliberation, Zhu Tan decided that Anlu was more suitable because it was the fief of Prince Xing Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Tan just wanted more protection and didn't necessarily have to go to the Anlu Palace - he had a deep hatred for Zhu Youlang, who had killed his uncle.

Zhu Youjun may have some concerns, but some people may not!

Zhu Tan made up his mind and asked the boss who was carrying the goods if there was any work that needed to be done in Anlu.

This boss is too cruel. Although I have a job, I have to help him on the construction site for several days except for eating.

The shopkeeper had a batch of new tea, a very valuable Mingqian tea, and together with Chuxian, there were seven people in total.

Over the past two days, these people have gotten along well with Zhu Tan and have become familiar with him. They have no taboos and can talk about anything.

Some people say that we still have 500 kilograms of food left so that our children can eat more.

Others said that they had a lot of food stored up, and planned to sell it when they returned, and then go to the brothel to taste the girls there, as they had never touched a woman's hand in their entire lives!

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter, and the next one was Chu Tian. Then someone asked Zhu Tan how many more bites of food he could eat.

Zhu Tan forced a smile. He was lucky to have only a hammer left, which he could still use to make a living.

Zhu Tan smiled: "Then I will keep it and marry a new wife later."

Everyone laughed, this was pure nonsense.

The group continued to move forward, and when they were about to reach the border of Anlu County, they encountered a checkpoint where soldiers were patrolling.

Zhu Tan did not recognize this army, so he had only two options: one was to ignore it, and the other was to stand up and declare his identity.

This is a difficult decision. If you make a mistake, you may lose your life.

While he was struggling with the dilemma, someone made the decision for him. He actually saw Qi Yanming whispering with a young soldier.

"Let the tiger go back to the mountains," Zhu Tan said in his heart. What was even more terrifying was that the bandit actually colluded with Zhang Yuanying and others, and had no intention of giving him any chance!

Fortunately, Zhu Tan had a sallow complexion and ragged clothes, so the soldiers at the border just checked her and let her in.

But his luck was really bad. Less than half an hour after he left, Xu Tai came and drove away Qi Yanming and others. The others had already escaped without a trace.

Xu Tai and Ma Cong agreed that they would go east early the next morning. (End of this chapter)
