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

Chapter 87 Let’s set off and call for help!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
"I wonder if the God of Land can..."

"cannot!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish speaking, Tianyu rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation without any hesitation.

In fact, this was not the first time Zhu Yuanzhang invited Tianyu to come down the mountain.

After all, he was doing a business that could lead to death, and having a deity following him would give Zhu Yuanzhang more confidence.

Although it is effective to rely on Tianyu's portrait to let believers worship as it is now, it is definitely not as good as Tianyu himself performing magic.

However, in this era when there are not even provincial roads and people have to walk to get around, going on a long journey is a complete torture.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty has not yet been established, and the rules of MC have not been integrated into the new area. What if I die if I go out?
Tianyu would never do such a thankless task.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly.

"In that case, let's take our leave now."

Tianyu nodded, and said perfunctorily without even lifting his butt off the stool:
"Let's go, let's go. I'll let my third sister take you there."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tianyu, who was concentrating on fishing, with envy on his face.

When will I be able to live such a happy life?

The third sister walked out from the side with a sweet smile:
"Brother Chongba, I'll take you there."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said:

"No need to send us off. We are not outsiders. I have to bring those bumpkins with me. This time I am here to let them see the world. I believe they will be more settled when they return."

Zhu Yuanzhang's visit this time was not simply to seek advice.
He also brought several high-ranking officials among the people he had gathered to Taoyuan Village to strengthen their faith.

Spreading the Tianshen religion simply by brainwashing is certainly not as convincing as seeing it with your own eyes.

Now seeing all kinds of magical floating and epoch-making buildings in Taoyuan Township,

Those generals who originally had some small thoughts in their hearts completely surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang.

God! A living being!
At this moment they no longer had any strange thoughts.

Especially seeing the people of Taoyuan Township living and working in peace and contentment, dancing in the disco every day,
Their pursuit for the future has changed from promotion to being able to settle down in Taoyuan Township.

After Zhu Yuanzhang pulled them out of the disco, everyone's eyes showed a look of wanting more.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and smiled as if he had everything under control:

"Have you felt the magic of Taoyuan Township?"

Many tribesmen nodded excitedly upon hearing this.

The phonograph and speakers that speak automatically, the elevator that moves forward automatically, the fluorite lamp that lights up by itself...

They are yearning for all kinds of magical convenience facilities and entertainment activities.

Compared with Taoyuan Township, the sense of superiority that he had in the outside world by oppressing the people was gone.

At this time, all they were thinking about was Zhu Yuanzhang's words: "Once the uprising is successful, they will obtain the right to settle in Taoyuan Township for generations."

Passing through the long winding tunnel and looking at the cliff that had closed tightly together again, everyone felt as if they were in another world.

A general looked back and couldn't help muttering to himself:

"Am I dreaming."

There was a snap,
He slapped a general officer with whom he was on good terms directly in the face.

"What are you doing!"

"Does it hurt?"

"Nonsense! Try it yourself to see if it hurts!"

"It's good if it hurts. If it hurts, it's not a dream."

"Fuck you, you're calling yourself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him showed a nostalgic smile. Once upon a time, he was as innocent as them, but now...

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Damn, I don’t want to rebel anymore. Rebellion is so tiring. I feel comfortable staying in Taoyuan Township.

By the way, why did you want to rebel in the first place?

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and fell into deep self-doubt.

Wouldn't it be better to just live an honest life in Taoyuan Township and wait for death? When there is such a good life, why should you worry about your life?
It’s a pity that it’s too late to regret now. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.

His name has already been listed in the intelligence reports of the imperial court and the leaders of various major forces.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the city with his men with a depressed look on his face.

After giving this group of cadres a taste of the pie, the signs of their domineering generals and rebellious soldiers completely disappeared.

After all, the pie is there, no need to draw it. All we need now is money.

Zhu Yuanzhang also promised these generals a week-long vacation in Taoyuan Township every six months.

At that time, the work points consumed during the vacation will be reimbursed by the military treasury, and if the performance is good, the vacation can be extended at the discretion of the military.

The emergence of this new system of paid leave has undoubtedly greatly increased the enthusiasm of generals.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang performed another "miracle". In front of the stunned eyes of the Yuan Dynasty spies, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Tang He quickly built dozens of meters high walls around the three counties where they were stationed, enclosing the entire land near the counties and making it impossible for water to enter or leave.

Under the stunned eyes of many people, nearly 100,000 people armed with stone pickaxes reclaimed nearly one million acres of land within a month and established an extensive water network.

The water collected by Tianyu in buckets will all form the Water Cube.

So you just need to pour the Water Cube collected by Tianyu into the ground and an infinite water source that will never dry up will appear.

So under the blessing of this method that can be called, no, it is completely cheating,
Several states and counties were soon turned into an airtight iron barrel.

Zhu Yuanzhang also began to conduct a census and register the people and merchants in the prefectures and counties in accordance with the system of Taoyuan Township and established an administrative system.

As for why there were no landlords, it was because Zhu Yuanzhang combined Tianyu's words with the well-field system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties and decided to implement public ownership of land.

After he conquered the state capital, all the land was nationalized.
The people only have the right to use but not the ownership.

Every registered farmer has the right to use a minimum of 10 mu of arable land for 40 years.

The lease can be renewed upon expiration, and the land will return to the state for redistribution after death.

The right to use arable land in Nonggu cannot be traded, but the government will release arable land for bidding and auction from time to time.

The taxation method is based on acreage, so there is no need to worry about people taking the land but not cultivating it.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's taxation was extremely low, which did not cause much resistance among the people who owned land.

As for the landlords, every change of dynasties meant a redistribution of land resources. Now that they have been caught up, they can only be considered unlucky.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not leave them any way to make a living. They would get guaranteed land like ordinary people. As for whether they still had the ability to farm, Zhu Yuanzhang did not care.

Survival of the fittest is nothing more than this.

After resolving his worries, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly marched towards Chuzhou with a dozen elite cavalrymen.

Because there was a great god in Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to recruit him to serve under him in advance.

This person was none other than Liu Ji, who was known in later generations as "Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, while Liu Bowen unified the country; Zhuge Liang was the military advisor of the previous dynasty, while Liu Bowen was the military advisor of the later dynasty."

Initially, Zhu Yuanzhang first found Li Shanchang, the first meritorious minister of the founding of the country.

As a result, "Things about the Ming Dynasty" said that Li Shanchang surrendered on his own when Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Chuzhou, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know where he was now.

So he had to prepare to go to Chuzhou, which Hu Dahai would conquer in the future.
Because Liu Ji was recruited by Hu Dahai after he heard that there were several hermits with great talents.

Although the book also does not mention Liu Ji's specific hometown, for such a famous person, one can always find out his hometown by asking around.

And Zhu Yuanzhang was just preparing to snatch... bah... this contemporary Sleeping Dragon.
