After tossing for a long time, Yang Jin wrote down the amount of food donated by each family in the account book, and said,

"Your Highness! We collected five thousand shi this time! After the grass-roots retreat, we will send it to you immediately!"

Shen Wansan's expression on the side was extremely ugly. This group of businessmen were too rampant, and they didn't give King Wu a chance to speak, so they let King Wu hold back his words.

The fifth child's complexion was also not good-looking. This group of big businessmen made him touch a soft nail, but he had nothing to do.

These big businessmen didn't mess with themselves, and even took the initiative to send food. If they turned their faces, it would be too uninteresting.

In addition, most of Wu's tax revenue comes from these businessmen. If they are pushed hard, they can go to other places to do business, which will also affect themselves.

The fifth brother frowned. After all, he was a young man with a thin skin. If it were Lao Zhu, this group of businessmen would have moved their heads if they dared to play with the vassal king like this!

Yang Jin tentatively said, "Your Highness, if there is nothing wrong, we will retreat?"

Hearing this, Lao Wu could only bite the bullet and said,

"You have misunderstood, the amount of grain this king wants to buy is very large, I am afraid it will cost at least a million stones."

The merchants were shocked when they heard the words, Yang Jin said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, how can we have so much food? If there is, we will naturally give it all to Your Highness!"

The fifth child clenched his fists and was extremely angry. These businessmen were obviously playing tricks on themselves!

He pretended to be respectful and apprehensive, but his eyes were full of contempt!

But the fifth child can't have a fit, after all, Liu Xiu is still in a hurry to ask for food!

For a while, the scene was completely deadlocked!

Ying Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he put his hands on his waist. As long as His Highness gives an order, he will chop up all these ignorant things!

Shen Wansan was very restless, just about to take a step forward to argue, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old man in his fifties walking up the stairs.

The anger on Shen Wansan's face was replaced by panic in an instant, and Fu Ling's heart was on the ground, and he threw himself on the ground,

Facing this man who gave him a psychological shadow all his life, he said in a trembling voice,

"See Your Majesty!!!"

Old Wu was taken aback, got up from the big stool covered with white fur and tiger skin, looked over, and after seeing who was coming, he said pleasantly,

"Father! Why are you here?!"

King Wu's father...

A few seconds after the brains of all the businessmen froze, they fell to the ground in an instant, with cold sweat splattering down their cheeks. If they hadn't supported each other with their limbs, their bodies might have turned into a puddle of mud at any time.

Facing King Wu, they still dared to have a playful smile, but facing Son of Heaven, they only had the purest fear left!

When the Long Live Lord's knife is cut down, it doesn't matter who you are!

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, stretched his brows, and shouted in a high spirit,

"Five!"

Afterwards, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, the air of a dragon overflowed while walking, and within a few steps, he walked up to Lao Wu, hugged Lao Wu fiercely, "How is your body?"

Only when facing his family, can this great son of heaven show such a pure smile,

The fifth child smiled, "Father, it's much better! Why are you here?!"

"There's nothing wrong with Beijing, but the situation here is complicated. We thought we hadn't subdued for a long time, so we came out to relax. I'll leave the affairs of Beijing to your brother."

As soon as they heard that the crown prince supervised the country, everyone thought it was a matter of course, but they never dreamed that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually went to the Hangzhou mansion in a subdued manner!

After a few more pleasantries, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the third person. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ying Qi and asked,

"What is this for?"

Lao Zhu didn't look at the group of businessmen the whole time, as if they were nothing more than worthless businessmen.

Familiar fear permeated Shen Wansan's heart, not knowing if it was a coincidence, Shen Wansan secretly raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang,

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expressionless face, but with awe-inspiring power, he glanced at the group of lying businessmen from the corner of his eye, looking at the living as if looking at the dead,

This is, Da Ming Zi!

While raising his hand and turning over, the whole world is just a plaything!

Ying Qi hurriedly fell to her knees, "I tell Your Majesty! It is His Highness who wants to buy food from these merchants!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then looked at the businessman who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were overwhelmingly overwhelmed by the crowd.

After a few breaths, Zhu Yuanzhang guessed the ins and outs of the matter,

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, and Yang Jin quickly said, "Your Highness, we have food! We have food!"

The old fifth gasped, "Didn't you just say there was no food?"

Yang Jin was so frightened that his nose burst into tears, "The little one is joking with His Highness, the little one has food, and it's in the little mansion, and the little one will go get it."

"My family also has it, so I'll bring it to Your Highness!"

"I have that too!"

"I just ask Your Highness to be merciful!!!"

"Woooooooo..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at the group of businessmen and said with a joke, "You don't need to give money."

The merchants did not dare to speak, they could only pound their heads like garlic, and their ears were filled with the sound of kowtow.

"Joking with His Highness? Why don't you joke with me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his face and waved his hands casually. The shadow guards rushed out from all directions, slashing with knives and axes, and instantly chopped the group of businessmen into meat sauce.

Shen Wansan buried his head deeply, while the fifth child had completely stayed where he was.

Ying Qi strode forward and knelt down, "I tell Your Majesty, all of them have been killed."

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at Yingqi, and shouted, "You trash, your Highness is injured, what are you doing here?"

Ying Qi shuddered when he heard the words, and pulled out his saber across his neck without saying a word,

"Damn it!"

"Father..." Lao Wu stepped forward to persuade.

"Huh!" Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, "It can be regarded as being loyal to the fifth child, so keep your hands."

Ying Qi turned the knife, took the arm and cut off the whole left arm, the blood from the wound flowed out,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Chapter 231 Thunder, rain and dew are all a blessing from heaven

The son of heaven is the spokesperson of heaven in the world.

Whether or not Heaven has will is uncertain, but the Son of Heaven does exist!

And this great son of heaven who was born in the reckless, is the only one in China for 5000 years!

Zhu Yuanzhang stands with his hands behind his back. As long as he has a thought, some people will have countless glory and wealth, and countless people will fall into the abyss.

Only in his mind!

The dark guards were trained to protect the safety of the feudal lords,

If the fifth child had an accident, hundreds of secret guards and countless spy spies in the entire Wu land would have to be buried with him!

Just asking Ying Qi for an arm is already a blessing from heaven!

Lao Wu was on the sidelines the whole time, unable to say a word, Lao Zhu just stood here, and there was no possibility for anyone to make decisions. Everything in this world was decided by Lao Zhu!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Shen Wansan casually, and said,

"Go and help me collect the money from various merchants. All the men and women of these families will be assigned to farms in Yandi."

Shen Wansan kowtowed, and didn't even dare to say a word, so he hurriedly stepped back to work,

When I think of these big families, they can be regarded as the richest in Wudi, but because the head of the family pretended to be a coward, and happened to be seen by His Majesty, they ended up being confiscated and distributed.

This familiar script made Shen Wansan tremble again, and Shen Wansan couldn't help muttering,

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all God's grace..."

After everyone retreated, only Lao Zhu and Lao Wu father and son were left in the hall. Lao Zhu sat down at a random place and said,

"All the way here, we didn't eat a few mouthfuls of hot food. I'm hungry, let's get something to eat."

The fifth child nodded quickly, strode out of the hall, and summoned the guards,

After a while, a table full of Hangzhou dishes came in, such as West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, old duck stew, eight-treasure tofu...

The color, fragrance and taste are delicious, making people unable to resist the mouth water,

However, instead of being delighted when Lao Zhu saw this table of dishes, he frowned and said in a stern tone,

"It's just us and you, do we need to cook so many dishes? Isn't it all a waste?! Let's say we're hungry, so just get us a bowl of noodles with two eggs!"

With a smiling face, Lao Wu filled Lao Zhu with a bowl of old duck soup in a small bowl, cooled it with his mouth, and handed it to Lao Zhu.

"Father, my son is thinking that it's not easy for you to come to Wudi once, so I want to give you a taste of all the good things? If the two of us can't eat, my son will give it to the servants. It will never be wasted."

Seeing that Lao Wu was very filial and did not intend to waste food, Zhu Yuanzhang looked a lot better. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Lao Wu's head, saying,

"That makes sense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, his parents died when he was young, but he couldn't even pay for a coffin, and then he wandered around, which made Lao Zhu realize the difficulty of the bottom.

Among the countless emperors in China, there are few who have experienced such a thing,

Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, which one was not born in a big family, even if they know how to sympathize with the common people, it is difficult to empathize with the common people.

This is where Zhu Yuanzhang is completely different from them. He not only knows the suffering of the common people, but also how miserable the common people are.

So he is most sympathetic to the common people, because he is from among them,

The father and son were speechless and focused on the food in front of them. Lao Zhu was born in the army and had a big appetite. He ate three big bowls and two taels of rice before he could feel full.

And five years old, when he was born, Lao Zhu was already on the verge of conquering the world. It can be said that he grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, so his appetite was much smaller.

After the storm swept away, Lao Zhu wiped his mouth, let out a long and comfortable breath, looked at Lao Wu and said,
