At the dinner table.

Li Zhongfu took a piece of Chinese toon soft dough, rolled it with hot and sour potato shreds and chili fried meat, held it with both hands and took a big bite. He was so drunk with the fragrance that he didn't even bother to say a word of praise.

Zhu Di smiled as he watched Li Zhongfu finish a cake. He praised Concubine Li with some pride, then picked up the rice bowl, picked up a piece of Chinese toon fried eggs, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Concubine Li had a smile in her eyes, and sat aside and picked up dishes for Zhu Di from time to time.

But she didn't eat a single bite herself.

Zhu Di found time to ask, "Concubine Li, why don't you eat?"

"I'm afraid of getting fat, so I'll just eat some fruit later."

Zhu Heming didn't go to the ward today to eat with Chang and Queen Ma. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then I suggest you eat some bayberries.

The bayberries here, Doctor Li, are very big, almost as big as a child's fist, and they are very juicy, with a sweet and sour taste. I guarantee you will never forget them once you have tasted them."

Concubine Li smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Princess San. After washing the pots and dishes, I'll have two taels to try."

As the four were eating, Zhu Zhanji came over with Liu Shitou.

There was also a general coming with them.

And the general was the first to appear.

It was obvious that he was the first to enter the kitchen door on the other side.

Zhu Zhanji was surprised and said, "It turns out that anyone can come through the gate, and there is no need for the first person to lead the way."

Liu Shitou was a little scared: "In this case, sir, I don't need to obey your orders, right? I'd rather give you the whole house and arrange it as you like."

After Zhu Zhanji returned from Ren'ai Medical Clinic last time, he led the team to Hanyang, Huguang, and met many people along the way.

As soon as he saw Liu Shitou's look, he knew that he was not speaking from his heart, but was forced to give up the house because he couldn't afford to offend the soldiers.

Considering that even if Liu Shitou was kept to serve, given money and even official rewards, he would not be able to make Liu Shitou, who had been farming for a lifetime, feel at ease, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Are you so afraid of our officers and soldiers?

Let me buy the house, and I will decide on your land and distribute it to your uncles and brothers as a favor.

As for you, you can move your household registration to the county town and enjoy a peaceful life with your son and daughter-in-law. I will have someone give you a reward and ask the court to confer you a title, which will guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and glory.

Aren't your two grandsons studying? I will let the county school accept them. As for what kind of fame they can get, it depends on their ability."

There are two kinds of titles in the Ming Dynasty.

One is more honorary and cannot be inherited.

The other is more practical and can be inherited without replacement.

Since Zhu Zhanji did not emphasize inheritance, it is naturally a non-hereditary honorary title.

For a farmer like Liu Shitou who has been poor all his life, such a title is enough to satisfy him and make him envied in the county town.

As for the county school, it is a public school funded by the court.

The instructors in the county school are serious officials in charge of the education of a county.

Generally speaking, only those who have achieved the title of scholar can go to the county school to prepare for the provincial examination.

The best scholars are called stipend students, who can receive silver and grain from the court every year.

Once Liu Shitou's grandson enters the county school, it is tantamount to crossing a big class.

As long as they can study well in the county school, their future prospects are limitless.

Zhu Zhanji's words directly touched Liu Shitou's heart.

If this is true, Liu Shitou feels that even if he dies now, it will be worth it.

"Sir, you didn't lie to me?" Liu Shitou asked excitedly.

Zhu Zhanji asked back: "Is there any benefit from lying to you?"

"Hey, I believe you, sir. Thank you very much."

"Okay, you look uncomfortable, go back and pack your things. I will give you what I promised you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Liu Shitou turned around and was about to leave.

Only then did he remember that he had not thanked Dr. Li, who he should thank the most.

Although Liu Shitou had little knowledge, he could not understand the benefits that Renai Medical Clinic could bring.

But he knew that all this was brought to him by Dr. Li.

After shaking his lips twice, Liu Shitou did not know what to say, and finally knelt down and kowtowed three times to Li Zhongfu from a distance.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Okay, go back, I will take care of repaying Dr. Li.

Remember, do not disclose the situation here to anyone, even your parents, wife and children."

"Hey, I'll remember it."

Zhu Di did not say a word throughout the whole process, just looking at Zhu Zhanji.

When Zhu Zhanji came over to pay his respects, he was satisfied and said, "Not bad, you have made great progress."

Zhu Zhanji was delighted: "Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa Emperor. I am a shallow person and still have a lot to learn."

"That's good to know. Let's sit down and have dinner together."

"Yes, Grandpa Emperor. "

Zhu Zhanji sat down next to Zhu Di, picked up his chopsticks and ate a lot.

During the past few days of traveling, he had been sleeping in the open air and his stomach was already empty.

After dinner, Zhu Zhanji had just wiped his mouth when a eunuch came over from Chunhe Palace.

After the eunuch saluted Zhu Zhanji, he did not make any extra movements and stood by the gate like the general that Zhu Zhanji brought from Hanyang.

The eunuch was sent by Zhu Biao.

According to the agreement between Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhanji, on the day Zhu Zhanji arrived at Liu Shitou's house, Zhu Biao would send a trusted eunuch to open the door for Zhu Zhanji, so that Zhu Zhanji would not return to the time and space of the 22nd year of Yongle or Liu Shitou's house after leaving Renai Medical Clinic.

"Wait here, I'll be back soon." Zhu Zhanji ordered the general.

The general clasped his fists: "I will obey your order."

"Let's go. "Zhu Zhanji said to the eunuch again.

The eunuch also took the order and opened the door of the clinic under Zhu Zhanji's instruction.

After Zhu Zhanji and the eunuch returned to Chunhe Palace in the eleventh year of Hongwu, Li Zhongfu asked: "Who opened the door of the clinic here, and which time and space is behind the door?"

Zhu Di nodded: "It should be."

"What about the other side? If Zhu Zhanji opened the door first, did he come here or return to Yongle time and space?"

"We didn't dare to try. That general should be responsible for opening the door to Liu Shitou's house."

Li Zhongfu praised: "It's very thoughtful. "

Li Zhongfu could probably guess what the Zhu family wanted to do.

But he didn't plan to care.

There weren't many patients in the clinic anyway, so let them do what they wanted.

After saying hello to Zhu Di and the others, Li Zhongfu went back to his room.

After playing two games of PUBG, Li Zhongfu once again opened the AWM instructional video and watched it with great interest.

In the ward, Zhu Di, after washing up, skillfully turned on the TV and watched "Journey to the West" with great interest.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Zhanji in the same time and space were not idle.

"Grandpa Taizu, Grandpa Huang, our idea is not wrong. We can really use Renai Clinic as a transit station to achieve rapid communication with Liu Shitou's family in Hanyang. "As soon as he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhanji immediately started to talk.

After listening to his description, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Biaoer, we intend to set up Hanyang as a secondary capital and build roads to facilitate travel to surrounding prefectures. What do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked after taking a sip of tea.

Zhu Biao nodded: "I agree very much, but if the secondary capital is too far away from Liu Shitou's home, it will not make much sense to set up a secondary capital.

I have been thinking these days that it would be better to move the entire Liujia Village where Liu Shitou is located, and then build a secondary capital palace on the original site, and finally build a new city around it.

And I think that the two capitals system of my fourth brother's time and space is suitable for our time and space.

As long as the six ministries, the Censorate and other departments are also established in the secondary capital Hanyang, it can radiate to the surrounding provinces, greatly enhance the control of the court, speed up the transmission of information, and reduce some unnecessary material losses. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he clapped his hands: "Biao'er's words make sense, let's do it this way, but this matter is serious, and Zhanji alone cannot handle the situation.

Why don't you go there too, supervise the construction of the secondary capital yourself, and select people to build various government offices, so that you can experience the feeling of building a court from scratch. "
