I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 24 What dynasty is it now?

Chapter 24 What dynasty is it now?
Zhu Chongba followed his second brother back to the village in a daze.

He looked at the big house he had just built and a look of doubt emerged in his mind.

Could it be that I was really wrong?

Should I become a craftsman like the God of Land said?
Zhu Yuanzhang was only 17 years old at that time, and he did not have the domineering attitude of being the only one in the world after becoming the emperor.

Before ascending the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang had always been the chosen son of heaven admired by all generals and ministers.

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang worshipped Guo Zixing as his adoptive father.

In his later years, Guo Zixing was wary of him and tried to kill him several times. In the end, he even forced him to set up his own faction.

As a result, when Guo Zixing lost power, Zhu Yuanzhang still willingly handed over all his military power to him without reservation and was willing to be under him.

This is enough to show that Zhu Yuanzhang was a kind-hearted person who would repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude before he became emperor.

Therefore, the extravagant life during this period did make Zhu Chongba a little addicted.
But when Tianyu mentioned his parents, he wavered again.

That's right,

At this time, it had been more than half a year since his parents starved to death.
Although he has been trying hard to learn and get rid of his sadness during this period,
But how could Zhu Yuanzhang, who in history could not forget his parents until his old age, forget the tragic situation that he didn't even have a piece of land to bury his parents.

The soul is wandering and can’t find its parents, the mind is dejected and wandering.

Gradually,
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became firm.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world!
Now that I have the divine connection with the God of Land, I should try to change this hellish world.

Can improving the level of science allow everyone to have enough food to eat?
Since I don’t have to worry about food and drink now, I will work hard according to the instructions given by the God of Land.

Zhu Chongba was ambitious and ready to make a grand plan.
As a result, just as he was about to open the door, the courtyard door was opened from the inside.

A fat man suddenly pushed the door open and walked out of his yard.

Zhu Chongba glared and kicked out subconsciously:

"How dare you! How dare this thief steal from our house!?"

"Hey~!"

With a scream, Liu Xiaode's already bruised and swollen body suffered another new wound.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, the voice sounded familiar. He took a closer look and snorted at Liu Xiaode in a bad tone:

"Fatty Liu, what are you doing in my house?"

Although Zhu Chongba did not purchase any land during this period, he reclaimed a lot of land at the foot of the mountain with a hoe.

Now that he is also a small landlord with considerable land, he is naturally not afraid of Liu Xiaode, who is also a landlord.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaode immediately glared at Zhu Chongba and shouted:

"Where have you been, kid? Didn't the county magistrate come to collect taxes today?"

Zhu Chongba raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly:
"Collecting taxes? He just collected taxes half a year ago. It's not even the autumn harvest season yet. He's collecting no taxes at all."

Liu Xiaode looked at Zhu Chongba with an expression that he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
In the Yuan Dynasty, when to collect taxes was just a matter of a word.

Liu Xiaode said angrily:

"It's the millennial birthday of the Imperial Concubine. His Majesty ordered all places to search for rare treasures to celebrate the Empress' birthday. The county magistrate came today and said he wanted to collect taxes in advance until the 38th year of Zhizheng. Thanks to me, I offered the county magistrate a treasure and he was able to send him away."

"If it weren't for me, no one in the entire Dongli Township would be able to escape, and you who collect taxes would be bankrupt."

"I can't bear this loss by myself. That's my treasure. You must compensate me!"

Liu Xiaode's shameless request made Zhu Chongba stay where he was.

His eyes suddenly turned red, and his tone suddenly increased by eight degrees as he shouted at Liu Xiaode:
"What!? You gave the fairy treasure to the emperor?!"

Liu Xiaode was startled by Zhu Chongba's sudden rampage and cursed:
"What emperor? It's the county magistrate, Mr. Han's side."

No matter which era, there are circles.
After Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted from a poor proletarian to a landlord, Liu Xiaode's relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang became more like an exchange of equal status.

But it was obvious that Zhu Chongba didn't buy it. With a sullen face, he cursed at Liu Xiaode:
"You idiot! Can you give away fairy treasures casually? You're going to die!" Liu Xiaode was stunned, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He hurriedly asked Zhu Chongba: "What do you mean? Explain it clearly."

Zhu Chongba was too lazy to bother with this idiot.
He turned around and didn't go home, but rushed towards the house built by his second brother.

What do you mean?
This means that this 'magic treasure' has a usage limit!
When Zhu Yuanzhang and his companions were using wooden hoes to cultivate land at the foot of the mountain, they discovered that these farm tools seemed extremely hard, but using them to chop trees and chisel rocks was as easy as cutting tofu.

But all of these things have a corresponding durability. According to the God of Land, wooden farm tools will basically be completely damaged and lose their "magic power" after being used 30 times.

It can only operate on 1 cubic meter of space at a time.

Simply put, if they use wooden hoes to clear one acre of land, they will need at least 1 wooden hoes to complete the task.

If the God of Land had not supported them with a batch of stone pickaxes in the later period, the two wooden hoes they left behind could only cultivate 60 square meters of land at most.

This little piece of land can't even produce enough food for one person if used to grow crops.

Just as Zhu Chongba said, the use value of these "immortal treasures" is extremely low.
The biggest function is probably to treat it as a family heirloom to attract some idiots who are not short of money to collect it.

Zhu Chongba had considered this when he was selling it.
What should I do if someone comes to sell this magical "immortal treasure"?

Later he thought that this thing was of little use anyway, and he really didn't think he would be able to see the gods again.

Exchange all the 'immortal treasures' for silver.
To free myself from the state of guilt.

Anyway, I didn't lie, and it's not my fault that I can't find the gods.
There is no need for those who really have status to cause trouble to me just for these one hundred taels of silver, after all, I have cooperated so well.

What's more, even if they hold the idea that it is better to believe it than not, they certainly do not want to make enemies and anger this unknown god.

So they will only cause trouble for Liu Xiaode, the holder of the fairy treasure.

Zhu Chongba sold the "immortal treasure" just to transfer his own risk to Liu Xiaode.

Only earn wealth within the scope of your own knowledge, and only what you can grasp is yours.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang sold even the wooden sword.

In his opinion, no matter who Liu Xiaode sold it to or how much silver he got, it had nothing to do with him.

But with one exception,

That's the emperor!
Because the emperor is this thing,
There is no logic at all.

Once it is broken when the 'Xianbao' is used,
Then this matter is very likely to be elevated to the level of deceiving the emperor by some idle officials and eunuchs.

By then, not only Liu Xiaode, but Zhu Yuanzhang himself might be implicated.

This situation is just like a big shot who traveled through time to ancient times and became a son-in-law using faded tribute cloth to plot against the Wu family.

There are a lot of people who will take advantage of your misfortune, and you can't bet that they will let you off.

As for the gods? Those Tartars don't worship the Earth God. They are not part of the same god system.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to deal with Liu Xiaode, the idiot, and hurried to his second brother's house to discuss countermeasures.

At the same time,
Tianyu also brought his third sister back to the base.

The third sister jumped and prepared to go to the newly reclaimed vegetable garden to pick the freshest vegetables to cook for Tianyu.

But Tianyu called out to his third sister at this moment.

"Third sister, wait."

The third sister looked at Tianyu in confusion.

There was a flickering light in Tianyu's eyes, and his thoughts seemed to have drifted far away.

After a long time,

Tianyu asked the third sister in a deep voice:

"Third sister, what dynasty is it now?"
