Being one step ahead is genius.

When your ideas are contrary to the majority.

It's not your problem, then it must be that others can't make the money.

When Zheng Xiong came back and told Zheng Qi that he bought ten thousand acres of wasteland for several people.

Zheng Qi's face turned pale with anger.

He immediately didn't eat anything and left angrily, sulking alone.

Likewise, Zheng Xiong had no intention of explaining.

If word spreads about making a fortune instantly, wouldn't that be causing trouble for yourself?

"Second brother, what do you think? There must be a place to go when buying these lands!"

This is the first wave. Not counting my two wives coming over, my eldest brother Zheng Hu also ran over to ask.

Helpless, Zheng Xiong could only give an explanation.

"Nothing, I want to eat some oil!"

Zheng Hu looked puzzled.

"What does eating oil have to do with this? If you want to eat, you can just buy it."

Lying on the table, Zheng Xiong's mind was wandering, Lan Lan said.

"I want to eat rapeseed oil, sesame oil, and fatty oil, and they have to be grown and raised at home."

"By the way, aren't you and our dad quite free? I'll send someone to go with you tomorrow. You go over and take a look at that place."

"If it's convenient, we can recruit people to sort it out, and it will be ready for use next year."

Zheng Hu was quite helpless.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true, why did I lie to you!"

I really can’t figure out Zheng Xiong’s intention.

To be honest, whatever the case may be, why buy so much land!

To be honest, there is really no prospect.

"Okay! I'll talk to dad later and take a look."

Zheng Hu had nothing to say and was about to leave. Zheng Xiong seemed to have thought of something again and suddenly spoke up.

"There needs to be a place close to a stream and a little more convenient to get water. I'll see if I can get something else out of the entire 100 acres."

Zheng Hu paused slightly and replied as he walked.

"knew."

To be honest, these people are still idle.

He said he didn't want it and was not optimistic about it, so they went out together the next day.

Went to see the land together with an official sent by Zheng Xiong.

It's just that I was fine when I went there, talking and laughing, just to relax.

After coming back, everyone became mute and looked downcast.

When Zheng Xiong came back, he saw this look and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong? Wasn't it nice when we went there?"

Not wanting to answer, no one wanted to talk to Zheng Xiong, so Zheng Hu replied to Zheng Xiong.

"That piece of land was a big loss. When we got there, at first glance, we saw that the place was quite big and the terrain was quite flat."

"But~hey~"

"The bushes are so thick that you can't even get in. If you want to clean them up, you have no hope unless you spend a lot of money."

"So! Second brother, we really lost this time."

That's it?

"oh."

Gone.

With this look on his face and his attitude, if it weren't for his identity, he would really want to beat Zheng Xiong.

"You're all hungry! Come, let's get some food."

Zheng Qi replied calmly with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"No appetite, just eat it!"

After saying that, he left directly.

So does everyone else.

Zheng Hu saw that everyone was gone, touched his nose and said.

"I came back and had something to eat. I'm not hungry now. You can eat! I'm going to the backyard."

"The following is full of information. I'm too sleepy. I'll change it later. If the title doesn't change, I'm asleep."

Feng Sheng (?-1395), whose real name was Feng Guosheng, had a surname of Zongyi, and was a native of Dingyuan, Anhui. The younger brother of Feng Guoyong, Duke of Ying, and a famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty.

He likes reading and is proficient in the art of war. In the late Yuan Dynasty, a stronghold was built to protect itself. Following his brother Feng Guoyong, he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, led troops to conquer all directions, and established the Ming Dynasty, which was quite meritorious. In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), there was a three-pronged campaign against Wang Baobao. Neither Xu Da nor Li Wenzhong won, but Feng Sheng won a lot. In the 20th year of Hongwu (1387), Feng Sheng served as a general and led Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others on an expedition to Liaodong. He subdued Nahachu and eliminated the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong. He was granted the title of Duke of Song, "the one who is respected by all the honorable ministers." There are eight people, Feng Sheng ranks third."

Because his son-in-law Zhu Rui was severely punished by Zhu Yuanzhang for secretly meeting Feng Sheng. Later, because he had "the most victories", he was jealous of Taizu and was summoned back to the capital. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu (1395), Feng Sheng was sentenced to death without guilt and did not enter the Temple of Meritorious Officials after his death. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), he was posthumously named King Ningling, with the posthumous title "Wuzhuang".

Feng Sheng, originally named Guosheng, later changed to Sheng. He and his brother Feng Guoyong both loved reading and were proficient in the art of war. They built strongholds to protect themselves in the late Yuan Dynasty. When Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty attacked Miaoshan, Feng Sheng returned with his brother and was highly used. Feng Guoyong made numerous military exploits and was promoted to the commander of the pro-army capital. After his death, Feng Sheng assumed his official position and took charge of the pro-army.

Conquests in the north and south

Chen Youliang advanced to Longwan. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty led his army to resist and fought on the Lime Mountain. Feng Sheng attacked one of the strongholds and defeated Chen Youliang's army. He continued to pursue it and defeated it at Caishi, thus regaining Taiping. Feng Sheng followed the army to conquer Chen Youliang, captured Anqing Water Village, marched straight to Jiangzhou, drove away Chen Youliang, and was promoted to the rank of Protector of the People's Liberation Army. Feng Sheng also accompanied the army to relieve the siege of Anfeng and was promoted to Tongzhi Privy Council. Feng Sheng followed his army in a fierce battle at Poyang, went down to Wuchang, and defeated Luzhou, and then mobilized his troops to attack the various roads in Jiangxi. He also worked with other generals to recover Huaidong, conquer Hainan, and capture Taizhou. Xu Da was unable to lay siege to Gaoyou, so he returned to support Yixing and ordered Governor Feng Sheng to lead the remaining troops. The Gaoyou garrison pretended to surrender. Feng Sheng ordered Kang Tai to lead hundreds of people into the city first. The defenders in the city closed the city gate and killed them all. Ming Taizu was furious, recalled Feng Sheng, punished him with ten sticks, and then ordered him to walk back to Gaoyou. Feng Sheng was ashamed and angry, so he attacked with all his strength. Xu Da also returned from Yixing, increased his troops to capture Gaoyou, and then captured Huai'an. Anfeng city fell and Wu general Lu Zhen was captured in the old hall. After going to Huzhou and conquering Pingjiang, Feng Sheng's merits were second only to Pingzhang Chang Yuchun, and he was promoted to the right governor. Feng Sheng followed the general Xu Da in the northern expedition and captured various states and counties in Shandong.

Conquer Shanxi

In the first year of Hongwu (1368), Feng Sheng concurrently served as Prince Youzhan. He was demoted for violating minor laws and was appointed as the governor and Tongzhi. Feng Sheng led his army up the river, took Bian and Luo, went down to Shaanzhou, and headed straight for Tongguan. The guard fled at night, so he captured Tongguan and Huazhou. After returning to Bian, he went to pay an audience with Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. He was awarded the title of right deputy general in conquering the captives and stayed in Bianliang. Then he followed the general to conquer Shanxi, captured Huaiqing with Wuzhi, crossed the Taihang Mountains, conquered Wanzi City, captured Ze and Lu, and captured Yuan Youcheng Jiacheng from the Yi family. They also defeated Pingyang and Jiangzhou, captured Yuanzuo Chengtian Baobao and others, and captured more than 500 soldiers. Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was very happy and ordered Feng Sheng, the right deputy general, to be subordinate to Chang Yuchun, Tang He, the partial general, to be subordinate to Feng Sheng, and Yang Jing, the partial general, to be subordinate to Tang He.

In the second year of Hongwu, Feng Sheng led his army across the Yellow River, headed straight for Shaanxi, and captured Fengxiang. Then he crossed the Long River, captured Gongchang, forced Lintao, and surrendered Li Siqi. He returned to the army and followed General Xu Da to besiege Qingyang. Expanded the border and sent generals to attack Yuanzhou to support Qingyang. Feng Sheng guarded Yima Pass and defeated his generals, so he captured Qingyang and captured Zhang Liangchen. All of Shaanxi was pacified.
