Neither Li Xiao nor Zhu Ningyun expected that their coming out would go so smoothly this time.
Not only did he collect two powerful mounts, he also found the ten thousand year old mountain ginseng.
With this Ten Thousand Years Ginseng, they can resurrect Queen Ma.
Just when Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun returned to Taoyuan Village with this good news, life in Taoyuan Village became unstable.
In Taoyuan Village on the other side, the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang caused some subtle changes in the entire village.
In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Empire, and he was also Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather and sworn brother.
These people in Taoyuan Village used to be citizens of the Ming Dynasty, so they still respected the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although this place is now Taoyuan Wonderland and not the land of the Ming Dynasty, they still retain this awe.
So even though Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly asked himself to participate in the village's labor, these villagers did not ask Zhu Yuanzhang to do anything.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been recuperating in Taoyuan Village for several days, and his health was getting better day by day.
He could clearly feel that his body was recovering rapidly.
After recovering, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually became unable to sit still in Taoyuan Village.
If he was in poor health before, forget it.
But now that his body has almost recovered, it is unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang to let him eat here and wait to die.
When he was the emperor before, he couldn't sit still and had to find something to do for himself every day.
Now he is just an ordinary villager here. He can't sit still anymore, and he feels that he should work more.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who couldn't sit still, first thought of Li Xiongzhi, who raised chickens.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang was going to learn how to raise chickens from Li Xiongzhi. He was serious.
Several times before, when he went to study with Li Xiongzhi, Li Xiongzhi always asked him to do some insignificant things, not even doing odd jobs.
I didn’t learn anything, but I ate a lot of meat.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that these people did not intend to let him do anything because of his status as emperor.
As for those bold words made at the wine table before, they were just drunken gaffes.
Zhu Yuanzhang especially remembered what the villagers said to him at the wine table that day, one by one, patting their chests.
One asked him to learn to raise chickens, another asked him to learn to be a cook, and another asked him to learn to be a carpenter.
It is said that everything is given to others, and it is said that teaching is guaranteed.
But when I went there, I realized that I didn’t have to do almost anything, and all I had to do were dispensable things.
It's just like going through the motions.
Before, he went to learn how to raise chickens from Li Xiongzhi, and Li Xiongzhi asked him to feed the chickens water for two days.
The key is that Li Xiongzhi has already picked out the water. He just needs to take a ladle and pour it into the chicken trough.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, could this be a problem?
It would be even more outrageous for him to learn how to cook from Tian Zhiwei.
He has been following Tian Zhiwei for three days. Not to mention cooking a few dishes, he has not even been allowed to touch a kitchen knife.
The thing Tian Zhiwei arranged for him was actually to pick onions. Yes, it was to pick onions.
And only a handful a day.
He pinched green onions from Tian Zhiwei for three days, but he ate plenty of fish and meat for three days.
He didn't do any work, but he gained a few extra pounds.
As for learning carpentry from Li Liang, that's hard to explain.
Li Liang actually took Zhu Yuanzhang around the village for three days, and he even said he was looking for good wood.
Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood that if he didn't take the initiative and be strong, then he really wouldn't have to do anything in Taoyuan Village.
He has become the mascot of Taoyuan Village, and these villagers really treat him like a pig.
So after he almost recovered, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to do something.
He wanted to prove that he could be self-reliant and work like these villagers.
He is no longer the pampered and pampered founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had this idea in mind, came to Li Xiongzhi's residence.
There is so much work, and the reason why it should start with Li Xiongzhi is something Zhu Yuanzhang thought about carefully.
Li Xiongzhi is in charge of raising chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, dogs, horses and sheep.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. These poultry and livestock are all rations, and they are all high-supplement meat.
Once you master this technique, you won’t have to worry about running out of food in the future.
As for cooking skills or carpentry, you can learn them later.
The most important thing is that once you learn this breeding technique, you can take it to the outside world.
Let people flourish in the Ming Empire.
Let all the people of Ming Dynasty learn this breeding technology, then the people of Ming Dynasty can all eat chicken, duck and fish.
People's living standards can also achieve a qualitative leap.
If the problem of eating is solved, the rule of the Ming Dynasty will be more stable and develop stronger.
Looking at a small wooden house not far ahead, Zhu Yuanzhang put away these thoughts.
In front is Li Xiongzhi's residence. This time he came here to really learn technology and do practical things.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the already dim sky, quickened his pace, and walked towards the house.
Although the sky was only dimly lit, I could already roughly see things clearly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not born into an imperial family. He used to herd cattle when he was young.
He knew that at dawn every day it was time to work.
At this point in time, I can only say that it is not too late, but it is definitely not too early.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to Li Xiongzhi's house and knocked gently on the door.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a knock on the door, but after a long time, there was still no movement in the room.
The door was always closed, showing no sign of opening.
Looking at the closed door, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Isn't it because he hasn't gotten up yet?"
Confused, Zhu Yuanzhang began to knock on the door again, but this time he knocked harder.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was another knock on the door, but the door was still not opened.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless this time.
"Are you sleeping so hard?" Zhu Yuanzhang murmured with a frown.
Looking up, the sky was getting brighter and brighter. He had been waiting at the door for some time.
"Can't wait any longer."
"The sun will come out if we wait any longer."
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on the door harder and began to shout: "Li Xiongzhi, get up and open the door!"
"Li Xiongzhi, get up and open the door!"
Because in Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding, normal working hours are before the sun comes up.
If you wait until the sun comes out to do anything, it will already be considered too late.
You know, even when he was the emperor, he never got up so late.
I usually get up before dawn. It has never happened so late as today.
Maybe Li Xiongzhi really slept too much, and Zhu Yuanzhang woke him up by knocking on the door harder and shouting.
Li Xiongzhi woke up from his sleep and rubbed his eyes, opened the curtains and looked at the sky outside.
He muttered dissatisfiedly: "Who is knocking on the door so early?"
When he heard that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, he was immediately frightened and lost all sleep.
Quickly jumped out of bed and opened the door.
After opening the door, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang was standing outside the door waiting quietly.
It seemed like I had been waiting for a long time.
Li Xiongzhi immediately said apologetically: "Brother, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
"I drank a little wine last night and slept a little deeply."
After saying that, he turned sideways and let Zhu Yuanzhang come in and sit down.
Li Xiongzhi stood aside and put on his clothes quickly. While putting it on, he asked: "Brother, what's the reason for you to come to me so early?"
Looking at Li Xiongzhi who was not even wearing clothes, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with displeasure, but it quickly disappeared.
"Xiongzhi, is this still early?"
"The sun has already risen, and it is already bright."
"If it had been placed outside, the people who farmed the land would have already plowed an acre of land."
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied with Li Xiongzhi's late rise.
"Brother, you already said that it was placed outside in the mortal world."
"We are in Taoyuan Wonderland now, there is no need to get up so early." Li Xiongzhi muttered subconsciously.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes jumped.
Li Xiongzhi is right, this is a fairyland.
There is no need to worry about food and clothing here. You come here just to enjoy the blessings. Why are you getting up so early?
"Xiao Li, big brother, am I talking to you about breeding?"
"We are talking about your body."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiongzhi and changed his tone.
Even the titles became Big Brother and Xiao Li.
"I know you don't have to get up so early to raise chickens and you don't need to worry too much, but you also have to pay attention to your health."
"As the saying goes, go to bed early and get up early for good health."
"How can your body get better if you get up so late every day?"
"Brother, as someone who has been through this, I will give you a piece of advice."
"The body is the capital of revolution. When you are young, you seek illness. When you are old, illness will seek you out."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiongzhi and said meaningfully.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's advice, Li Xiongzhi was speechless for a while.
But he didn't know how to refute.
No matter what his psychology was, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be thinking about himself.
"But brother, this is Taoyuan Wonderland."
"Even if you don't do anything and sleep all day long, your body will be fine."
"You're a little too worried." Li Xiongzhi replied awkwardly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang became a little confused.
"Xiao Li, why is this little brother of yours so stubborn?"
"Isn't what Brother just said clear enough?"
"Don't always take chances. Do we know this is a fairyland?"
"But we cannot relax or rely on this reason."
"You need to be strong when you are forging iron. No matter what the circumstances, we still have to maintain a good style!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious face.
Li Xiongzhi looked at the hospitalization station with a look of embarrassment on his face.
He didn't even know what to say.
No matter how you refute it, it seems that it will refute Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
In this case, it is better to just let Zhu Yuanzhang have his say and let him talk.
At least this will not make Zhu Yuanzhang feel uncomfortable.
Immediately, Li Xiongzhi stood there and became silent.
Seeing that Li Xiongzhi became silent, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that this was because Li Xiongzhi realized his mistake and understood the truth of what he said.
"Xiao Li, just know this."
"Brother doesn't want to preach to you."
"It's just that it's getting late, so you should get up." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiongzhi and said calmly.
Li Xiongzhi was extremely speechless and replied feebly: "Brother, isn't this why you came to me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, and then he was ready to tell the real purpose of his visit.
"Xiongzhi, of course my brother came to see you this time, not just for this matter."
"Brother, I went back last night, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep all night long. I thought about it for a long time."
"Brother Wei thinks you can't just deal with us like this."
"We can't waste our time in this fairyland, eating and waiting to die. We must also contribute to the things in Taoyuan Village."
"We must do something real for Taoyuan Village, and we can't be careless."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiongzhi seriously.
What he said was so clear, I believe Li Xiongzhi also understood what he meant.
Li Xiongzhi, Tian Zhiwei and a few others asked Zhu Yuanzhang to do things in a perfunctory manner every time, and they knew it well.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care what they thought, he just wanted to do something real.
Hearing this, Li Xiongzhi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, it's really not that we brothers don't let you do things."
"But there is only so much work in Taoyuan Village. Brother, there is no need for you to do it yourself."
"A few of us can finish it in one go."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be angry: "Xiongzhi, what did we tell you before?"
"You can do it, and so can we."
"Is it possible that in your eyes, I am just a loser who only knows how to eat?"
Hearing this, Li Xiongzhi quickly denied it: "No, no, no, brother, we didn't mean that."
"You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a ninety-five-year-old, with a noble status."
"You really don't need to do this yourself."
"If you say this, you are out of touch." Zhu Yuanzhang replied displeasedly: "We are all brothers now, why are you still so polite?"
Seeing that Li Xiongzhi wanted to continue explaining, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything more."
"Since we came to you so early today, it means that we have made up our mind."
"No matter what, I must participate in these affairs in Taoyuan Village."
"Whether it's raising chickens or pigs, in short, we must be doing something."
"I'm afraid I'll get sick if I stay here all day long."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang walked outside the room.
"Xiongzhi, I'll wait for you outside."
"Hurry up and take me to raise chickens."
"I also plan to learn how to raise chickens from you."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's serious look, Li Xiong was speechless and filled with melancholy.
Not because of anything else, just because there is something special about the farming in Taoyuan Village, which may be something Zhu Yuanzhang cannot understand.
