Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 40: The emperor’s sons were captured and brought to repair Zhongdu? And three of them were captured at once?!

Holding the secret letter, Li Shanchang laughed heartily.

The laughter was so carefree and unrestrained.

He knew that what he did was right!
Just know that the superiors will not only not blame you, but will reward you instead!
When it comes to understanding the higher-ups, others are far behind me!
After laughing, he immediately asked people to call his brother Li Cunyi, nephew Li You, nephew Ding Bin, Minister of Works Xue Xiang, Fengyang prefect Zhu Xiang, and many other relevant personnel and other nobles in Huaixi to the Ministry of Works yamen.

"Immediately build a medical clinic in Zhongdu City!

In the next few days, the laborers will eat three meals a day, one dry meal and two liquid meals!

The shacks where the laborers lived also needed urgent repairs to make them draft-proof.

The bedding inside also needs to be changed immediately.

Remember, all these things must be done within two days!
Also, for bedding, you can’t get brand new ones, you need ones that are neither old nor new!”

Li Shanchang looked at everyone and gave orders in a serious tone.

After hearing what Li Shanchang said, everyone, who were already curious about why Li Shanchang suddenly summoned all of them, became even more confused.

I don’t know what’s going on.

“Won’t this…greatly affect the progress of the project?
Uncle, what happened?"

Ding Bin was born into a military family and had an impatient personality. He was the one who led the team to take charge of the progress of the Zhongdu City project.

So I couldn't help but ask first.

"Haha, great news! The Highness is coming to Zhongdu City to have a good look. We'll be reunited in Zhongdu City during the Lantern Festival!"

Li Shanchang finally stopped keeping everyone in suspense and told everyone the real reason behind the incident.

what? !

After being surprised, everyone was overjoyed.

I suddenly understood why Duke Han acted this way!

This is a great thing!

It is a major event for the people of Huaixi and also the greatest victory for Huaixi!

The emperor's move of the capital to Zhongdu City can now be said to be a foregone conclusion!
There will be no more accidents.

“The laborers in Zhongdu City also need to be screened immediately.

Pick out those who are old, weak, sick, or disobedient.

He was transported outside Zhongdu City and secretly detained and guarded.

There are not enough places outside the city in a hurry, so some hidden places inside the city can also be used to accommodate them.

Make sure they don't appear in front of the superiors.

The superior is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see others suffer.

Then let’s make sure that no one in Zhongdu City suffers!

After the arrival of the higher-ups, in order to avoid being exposed, there is no need to deliver food to the laborers who are under guard..."

Xue Xiang moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but Li Shanchang didn't give him a chance to speak.

“You won’t die of starvation even if you go hungry for a few days.

Even if someone really died, it doesn’t matter!
They deserved to die!

After years of hard work, now is the most critical moment. No matter how difficult it is or how many people die, we must hold on!

Things must be done well!

Whoever makes trouble in this matter will be the sinner of our entire Huaixi!

Everyone can punish him!"

Li Shanchang restrained his smile, looked at everyone with a serious face and gave the death order.

Hearing what Li Shanchang said, everyone calmed down and agreed solemnly, saying that they would definitely get the job done!
Nothing goes wrong.

Xue Xiang also responded along with everyone else.

"Go! Everyone, do your best. You must not have diarrhea at this critical moment!

At this moment, even if it means sacrificing our lives, it's worth it!"

After Li Shanchang finished speaking, he waved his hand and told everyone to get back to work.

Everyone took the order and left.

Li Shanchang took the secret letter out of his arms and looked at it carefully again.

Every time you see it, the smile on your face becomes more intense.

A moment later, he left the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and personally came to Zhongdu City to inspect the various tasks and provide supervision and guidance...

……

The city of Zhongdu quickly became lively.

The corpse collection team began to pile up the already stiff corpses in various corners of the city and threw them into trucks to be transported outside the city for burial.

Some people who were weak and unable to work but could survive with a few full meals were also thrown into the body collection team's vehicles.

Pulled out of the city and buried with the corpses.

There are also many people who are quickly cleaning the capital city.

In order to ensure that those laborers were selected to appear before the emperor, each of them had a decent set of bedding.

Many of those who were screened out and secretly imprisoned had their beddings taken away... This sudden change in Zhongdu City naturally did not escape the eyes of the three brothers Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di.

They immediately understood what was going on.

It must be that my father has already started to take action and is about to come to Zhongdu City!
Father acted swiftly enough!

He said that he and others would stay here for two months, but they started to take action in less than five days!

However, it’s better to act in advance!

There was too much darkness in Zhongdu City, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

I wish I could smash this darkness immediately!

Of course, the darkness was crushed in the way of the Emperor, not the way of the Ming Cult.

Seeing this series of unusual actions, Shen Jing also realized that something was wrong.

Is there really an extraordinary person coming to Zhongdu City?

No way... The Wu brothers were right. Is the emperor coming?
Could it be that these Wu brothers are really the emperor’s sons?

Otherwise, how could he know these things so clearly?

I just told myself that the emperor would come to Zhongdu, and now Zhongdu city has undergone such great changes?

His heart skipped a beat.

But when his eyes fell on the three brothers of the Wu family who were wearing tattered clothes and covered in stone, such thoughts were quickly dismissed.

The emperor's surname is Zhu, but the three brothers' surnames are Wu, which doesn't match at all.

Even if the surname can be changed, the emperor's son is undoubtedly a member of the imperial family.

How could he come here in a different appearance?
How could I possibly do these jobs?

The emperor's son would be whipped and cursed?

So, this must be a coincidence.

Moreover, it is not certain now, the emperor will come next.

But no matter whether he is the emperor this time, as long as he has the chance, he will expose the matter at all costs!

The Shen family has been forced into a desperate situation and has no way out.

We're all going to die, so why not give it a try?!

Li Shanchang's men were escorting the sick and weak away and locking them up.

Fortunately, he had only been here for a short time, and although he had suffered a lot of torture, he was still relatively strong compared to many people.

He will definitely not be imprisoned.

This is his chance!
But a moment later, Li You came personally with people and took him down.

"What? Think this is your chance? Want to do something?
Haha, you wish for it, just give up on this idea! "

As he spoke, he reached out and slapped Shen Jing on the face.

With condescending contempt.

"I'll take good care of your sister and your little girl. I have to say, they're really moisturizing!"

"Li You, you will die a miserable death!!!"

Shen Jing's eyes were blazing with fire and he cursed loudly.

"I'm going to die a miserable death? Hahaha..."

Li You laughed arrogantly as if he heard a funny joke.

"The person who can kill me, Li You, hasn't been born yet!"

"The sky is clear! The sky is clear!"

Shen Jing shouted angrily.

"The sun is shining? I am the sun!"

After saying that, seeing that Shen Jing was still making noises, he said sinisterly: "If you dare to fart again, I will take you back to the mansion and watch with my own eyes how your little wife and sister serve me and see how moist they are!"

Shen Jing immediately shut up, biting his lips until they bled, and was taken away unwillingly.

Li You felt as happy as a cat playing with a mouse.

He planned to take his men with him and go look for the other wealthy young men from Jiangnan who were sentenced to hard labor.

When he was about to leave, he saw three lowly laborers working nearby, looking at him.

He walked forward and whipped each of them.

"What are you looking at? Just do your job honestly. If anyone says something they shouldn't say next time, I'll kill his whole family!

Kill all nine of his clans!"

Seeing these three lowly laborers, who had been whipped by him, they dared not even fart, but lowered their heads and worked silently.

Li You then left with a satisfied heart, and continued to cause trouble to the others...

……

In Yingtian Prefecture City, in the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince's concubine, Lu, walked towards the infant Emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying, with a gloomy expression.

In this room, there were only her and Zhu Xiongying...
