As soon as Zhu Zhen arrived at the manor, he found that all the fields in the manor were planted with grain.
These grains grow very well, and one can tell at a glance that these lands are fertile and fertile.
To be honest, it is a pity to pull out all these seedlings.
For ordinary people, this is good food and cannot be wasted at all.
However, in order for the people of the Ming Dynasty to have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, Zhu Zhen had no choice but to have these well-growing seedlings pulled out.
"When the time comes, put these seedlings in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and get some spiritual water, maybe they can come back to life!!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen no longer felt any psychological burden, and directly asked people to prepare these seedlings to be pulled out and the ground was plowed.
However, they watched here for a long time and attracted the attention of people near the manor.
After they noticed that Zhu Zhen's people were pulling out their seedlings, they became anxious instantly.
"Hey, who are you? What do you do? Why do you want to pull out the seedlings in our fields??"
"Come up, come up quickly. Who allowed you to pull out the seedlings in our fields?"
"Your land? Who are you??"
"Hey! You kid is so funny. When you arrived at our manor, you asked us who we were! You don't even know who we are, and you dare to go to our land and cause damage??"
The leader looked very rich and gave people a arrogant feeling.
People can tell at a glance that this is the butler of a wealthy family.
Although Zhu Zhen's aura was extraordinary and there were many people following him, he still did not take Zhu Zhen into consideration.
Facing his questioning, Zhu Zhen was also full of curiosity.
As far as he knew, this manor was actually the manor of Liao Yongzhong, Marquis of Deqing. Zhu Yuanzhang had already solved Liao Yongzhong and ransacked his home.
It stands to reason that this manor belongs to Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if there are people planting it, there should be no one to manage it.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang allocated this manor to Zhu Zhen and asked Zhu Zhen to bring people to see it and then plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The butler-like figure in front of him was obviously not an ordinary citizen.
This made Zhu Zhen curious about his identity.
"You are...the steward of Deqinghou Manor??"
"Bah! Bah! Bah! What are you talking about? You are the housekeeper of the house of Marquis Deqing who has killed many people! Your whole family is too!!"
"..."
The answer of this butler-looking man left Zhu Zhen speechless for a moment.
From the time he traveled to now, no one should dare to say such things to him!
After all, this man who looks like a butler is not just talking about Zhu Zhen, but also the entire royal family.
This made the secret guards in the palace who followed Zhu Zhen instantly angry.
“Bold!!”
These secret guards in the palace were the people sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to follow Zhu Zhen and prevent the existence of Tudou and Sweet Potato from being leaked.
These people are all die-hard Zhu Yuanzhang and people who obey Zhu Yuanzhang's orders.
Even in their hearts, Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation is higher than their lives.
Anyone who dares to say disrespectful words to Zhu Yuanzhang will be cut into pieces.
At this moment, they had the urge to kill the wealthy butler in front of them.
After speaking boldly, their knives were unsheathed directly.
Their act of drawing the sword really startled the wealthy butler.
Subconsciously, he hid behind the others.
He was afraid that these secret guards would rush up and chop him down if he disagreed.
However, he soon discovered that these people had been stopped by Zhu Zhen and would not come forward again.
This gave him a little more courage.
He straightened his clothes, took two steps forward, raised his head and squinted at Zhu Zhen and others.
"Bold? Do you know who I am? You dare to call me bold??"
"Furthermore, it was obviously you who came to our manor first, pulled out our seedlings, and destroyed our fertile fields. Even if you are sued to the government, you are still guilty!!"
"You said this is your manor? But I remember this should be the former manor of Marquis Deqing. When did it become yours!!"
"You also said that was before, after Marquis Deqing was convicted, our master had already bought this manor. Now this manor belongs to our master. When you come here, you are destroying our master's manor!!"
"Did you buy it?"
Zhu Zhen was very surprised by the statement that he had bought it.
If this manor was really sold, Zhu Yuanzhang would not let him grow potatoes and sweet potatoes here.
What Zhu Zhen said about buying it was a big problem.
Therefore, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but ask:
"Whose housekeeper are you? Who is your master?"
"Humph, then listen carefully!!"
Speaking of his master, this butler is obviously very dignified.
As if his master was the most amazing person in the world.
Especially when everyone's eyes fell on him, he was particularly excited.
"My master is a fellow countryman of today's emperor. In his early years, he predicted that today's emperor will definitely be the emperor. He conquered Guangxi and pacified Hu Xia. He is a Marquis of Jiangxia who knows astronomy and geography, and is both civil and military!!"
"Jiang Xiahou? Zhou Dexing??"
"Bold, you dare to call our Lord Marquis by his first name!!"
"Uh, I dare to call you Lao Zhu's name, what's the point of calling him Mr. Hou's name!!"
Hearing the questioning voice of this butler-looking man, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but mutter.
Naturally, the secret guards in the palace also heard such mutterings.
However, although they heard it, they still pretended not to hear it.
These secret guards also knew that Zhu Zhen was a little special.
Especially since Zhu Yuanzhang was very indulgent towards him, even if he tried to confront Zhu Yuanzhang, it might not be a big deal.
It's really nothing to call Zhu Yuanzhang by his name. This can only be regarded as a matter between their father and son.
Zhu Zhen didn't know what he thought about dealing with these secret guards.
After hearing the housekeeper say that Zhou Dexing was the owner of this manor, Zhu Zhen was really curious.
"Is this manor really only owned by Zhou Dexing? Isn't there anyone else who also owns part of this manor? Or, in other words, did you share this manor in partnership??"
"Partnership share? This manor has been bought by our Marquis a long time ago. Who in the world dares to share my Marquis's manor!!"
Speaking of this, the man who looked like a butler was even more arrogant, showing the majesty of the Hou Men's butler.
However, Zhu Zhen was disappointed after hearing his answer.
"It turns out there is really only one Jiang Xiahou. This is so disappointing!!"
"It's just that I don't understand why you, Jiang Xiahou's butler, can be so arrogant? Did Jiang Xiahou sing the courage to you??"
"you…!!"
"Okay, take him down, beat him up first, keep his mouth shut, and then ask him how Jiang Xiahou 'bought' this manor!!"
After hearing that Jiang Xiahou was alone, Zhu Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with this rich butler and directly resorted to tactics.
