Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Zhu Di quickly put away the puzzled and hesitant expression on his face.

He forced a smile and blurted out some nice words, "In the past, you were in Yingtian Prefecture, and I was far away in Peking. I could hardly see you all year round. Now you are right here beside me. My Ming Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, so of course I must serve you diligently."

As he spoke, he walked over casually and sat down on the stone bench next to Zhu Yuanzhang as if he was familiar with it.

He has been coming more frequently recently, and the relationship between father and son has indeed become much closer.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his son meaningfully, his expression remaining impassive. Inwardly, he was grumbling, "This fourth son... isn't he here to serve me? He's clearly just anxious, eager for me to take action against that little wolf cub!"

What kind of shrewd person was the Hongwu Emperor? He could see through his own son's mind.

of course.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself is feeling a little weak now.

It’s not that he didn’t want to take action... After all, the little wolf cub did go a little too far in some things.

But it is really not convenient for him to take action now.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also adopted a policy of "delay" towards Zhu Di.

Even if he knew what Zhu Di was thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang would not take the initiative to point it out.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with some emotion and said, "Alas... The Ming Dynasty was just established, and I have no choice but to let you children go far away. I have no choice."

Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed sincere in what he said.

He also felt bad that father and son didn't see each other often.

Zhu Di immediately responded, "Sons enjoy the protection of their father's legacy, so naturally they should share his worries. This is all right."

After saying that, he glanced around.

After a brief chat, he said, "Dad, you were so eager to trample all the flowers and plants in the yard and plow the land... How come it's been so long and you haven't planted anything? Maybe you can ask your son to do it."

When Zhu Di mentioned this matter, he was just looking for a topic to bring the father and son closer.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reclining on the recliner, paused for a moment before saying, "We want to wait a little longer."

Or rather, he had been waiting all these days—why plant anything else on such good land? If he was going to plant something, he should plant the best, right?

At this moment, Zhu Di did not quite understand the profound meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought the weather wasn't good at the moment and wanted to wait a little longer. After all, farming was very particular about timing and solar terms.

So he just smiled and said, "Then your son and I will plant it together."

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about the sweet potatoes that yielded an extremely high yield per acre, and his mood brightened. He chuckled, "Okay! I'll take you to plant them when the time comes! Although you are all princes and nobles now, it's best not to fall behind in farming! Our Zhu family has been farmers for generations, and we must not forget our roots!"

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something, nodded, and a smile of satisfaction, recognition and appreciation appeared on his face.

Speaking of growing crops.

He immediately couldn't help but think of Zhu Yunhuan - he had personally witnessed how Zhu Yunhuan obtained the sweet potato, and how he personally nurtured those poor vines to root, and finally planted them himself...

"This little wolf cub is nothing if not practical when it comes to farming. He may seem unskilled, but he's dedicated and hands-on!"

This made Zhu Yuanzhang, an old farmer, particularly pleased, especially since Zhu Yunhuan planted sweet potatoes, which were considered a "lucky sign".

And sitting next to him was Zhu Di.

At this moment, looking at the satisfaction and appreciation on my father's face, I thought that my father was satisfied with my enthusiasm, and I felt a little excited at the moment.
