Zhu Zhanji suddenly said: "What about giving Yu Lu like the old Song Dynasty?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanji himself shook his head and denied the idea: "No, if you give it as high as the old Song Dynasty, it will certainly reduce a lot of corruption, but my Ming treasury may not be able to support it, in short, it is still money." ”

Young Master Yang nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Gao Chenglu is indeed a relatively large expenditure, and the current Ming treasury is indeed unable to support it, especially the few times when the Tatars are used against the army, and the treasury is about to be emptied." ”

Zhu Zhanji hummed and said, "Not bad." However, if you don't use troops against the Tatars and Warats, and if you don't completely defeat them, the north will have to maintain a large number of military towns, and the expenditure will be even greater. ”

Glancing at Zhu Zhanji, Yang Shaofeng sneered: "Then according to what you said, after the Tatars and Warats are completely attacked, Da Ming can put swords and guns into storage, and the horses will be released in Nanshan?" ”

Zhu Zhanji argued: "Naturally not, but it is definitely possible to reduce some military towns, and there is no need to maintain such a large number of troops now, and the treasury will have more money to use in other places, such as the road construction and school building you mentioned." ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "Then what do you say about the old Song?" Therefore, the Song land is not as wide as my Ming Dynasty, and it is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and internal rebellions are also rising one after another, how can their treasury be supported? ”

Zhu Zhanji glared at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Don't talk about opening the sea ban!" This is the law of our ancestors! ”

Yang Shaofeng snorted and said, "I knew you would say that." Let me ask you, if you are the head of the family, do you want your descendants to be stronger from generation to generation, or do you stick to the rules you have set and dare not break them, and keep them like this from generation to generation? ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Naturally, I hope that one generation will become stronger than the next, but how can the ancestors change the law without permission? ”

Yang Shaofeng sneered: "Everything is the law of the ancestors, and after a hundred and ten years, what you said has also become the law of the ancestors, if you say that the people of the world are not allowed to eat rice, the people will simply starve to death!" ”

Zhu Zhanji, who suddenly came back to his senses, glared at Young Master Yang and said, "Is the issue to be discussed now the issue of the sea ban?"

I've found that every time I discuss a problem with you, you always lead the conversation to irrelevant issues, and then come up with your specious theories to defeat me! ”

Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but laugh and fell: "Then you say, what is the problem now?" Is it a problem of officials working on their own in the meal? Is the root of the problem that my Ming Dynasty is not high, and the officials are hungry? If we want to solve this problem, do we have to replenish the treasury first? ”

Being a little confused by Master Yang's series of rhetorical questions, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but be stunned and said: "What you said seems to be very reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong." ”

After laughing, Yang Shaofeng said: "Okay, don't worry about what's wrong, you have seen this Yangzhou problem anyway, and you have also explored it, so we should set off next." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Okay, let's set off and go to Shuntian Mansion to have a look." ”

……

Looking at the calm and waveless Hongze Lake, Yang Shaofeng pondered for a long time and didn't come up with any poems that fit the occasion, and finally had to give up helplessly.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Young Master Yang several times, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What's on this lake?" Except for ducks or ducks, you don't fish fishing, you don't catch ducks, what are you thinking? ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly became unhappy.

What a beautiful scene, what a good artistic conception, just let such a bad little fart child be ruined.

But when I turned my head and thought about my previous life, when I was seventeen or eighteen, it was when people were tired of dogs, and I was busy pleasing little girls all day long, and I was all troubled by something called hormones.

Yang Shaofeng, who was relieved in his heart, decided not to be angry with Zhu Zhanji anymore, at least he couldn't think about kicking this unlucky child into the lake, and then snorted coldly: "Do you know what a literati is?" Cultural people, in addition to being able to reverse black and white, also have to be prosperous when they see good mountains and rivers, and then chant a poem for future generations to sing.

It's probably equivalent to writing down that so-and-so has visited such and such a place, or it is the same as the dog's habitual peeing to indicate that it occupies an area. ”

The dog poked his head out of the cabin and said, "Young master, you call me?" ”

Young Master Yang turned his head and glared at the dog, and shouted, "Get away, it's none of your business here." ”

Zhu Zhanji saw the dog retract his head, and couldn't help laughing: "Then what poem have you made?" ”

Yang Shaofeng opened his mouth and snorted, "Do you think I'm one of those shallow rotten Confucians?" If you make a poem or two, will it be beneficial to your family, the country and the people? ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a straight face: "I see, but I misunderstood you." But I always felt like you were lying to me. ”

Yang Shaofeng smiled and said, "We are brothers, how could I lie to you, right?" Later, we'll have someone bring a fish from the lake and grill it and eat it. ”

Zhu Zhanji, who had already tasted Young Master Yang's craftsmanship, couldn't help but look forward to it: "Okay, I'll order someone to catch fish!" ”

Young Master Yang glanced at Zhu Zhanji with disdain and said, "How can the fish that you ordered someone to catch be as delicious as the fish you caught with your own hands?" I have heard that Emperor Taizu Gao once planted some grain and vegetables in the palace, and also planted some tea trees himself, and I guess the same is true. ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "It's not what you think. Emperor Taizu planted tea in the palace, but he thought that the small dragon group was troublesome and labor-intensive, so he planted it himself, saving the local tribute. ”

Yang Shaofeng sighed, and then put on a look of sudden realization: "I see." Just like the folding fan I said last time, if the superior likes it, the lower will find a way to get filial piety. ”

After looking at Zhu Zhanji, Yang Shaofeng continued: "When I was in the capital, I also heard that the imperial grandson of the East Palace liked to fight crickets, and I didn't know if it was true or not.

If it's true, I'll find a few good crickets to offer, so that I can get an official to be in charge, and the worst thing is to be in the heart of the grandson. ”

Zhu Zhanji's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I can't have any preferences!" I'm human too! Why do you, like the Masters, demand that I not have my own preferences? I'll catch the crickets myself, and I don't need you to pay tribute! ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed and said, "Who said that?" I never said I wouldn't let you fight crickets, you like to fight, let's order someone to catch them.

What I want to tell you is that fighting crickets is not a big problem, but you must prevent the people below from working hard and losing money because of the sacrifice of crickets! ”

Zhu Zhanji was full of despair: "It's useless, in this position, almost every word and deed is stared at, what can I do?" ”

Yang Shaofeng patted Zhu Zhanji's shoulder and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, what if you like other things?" For example, something that is beneficial to Daming? ”

Zhu Zhanji was still full of despair: "Is there any difference? Whatever you like will be magnified, and then people with a heart will think that the opportunity has come, or you want to be lucky, or you want to reward, in fact, it is the same.

If I like martial arts, the nobles will definitely be happy, the civil ministers will definitely oppose it, and if I like fighting crickets, there will also be many people who oppose it, and many people will approve of it, but in fact, I can't help myself. ”

Yang Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, but for the first time, he looked at Zhu Zhanji seriously and said: "Sometimes, it's just so involuntarily, you have to be patient."

I know that you have a sense of anger in your heart, and I know that you are not comfortable in your heart, so I broke up with the dog and my brother, and now there are two of us on the bow of the boat, and if you are unhappy, just say it. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded, but suddenly shouted "ah", I don't know how many water birds were flying in shock.

Waiting for Zhu Zhanji's voice to fall, Young Master Yang said with a smile: "How is it, is it much more comfortable?" ”

Zhu Zhanji's face was slightly red, and he said curtly: "It's the first time I've lost my temper like this." ”

Yang Shaofeng shook his head and said: "It's good to vent it out, and feel comfortable, otherwise if you suppress it for a long time, people will get sick." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Shaofeng no longer paid attention to Zhu Zhanji, but returned to the cabin to take two fishing rods, hung up the fish food, and handed one to Zhu Zhanji.

Looking at the float that had no movement, Young Master Yang suddenly smiled and said, "You say, if we are surrounded by some local officials, what kind of situation will happen?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned: "Huh? What's the situation? ”

Yang Shaofeng said with a smile: "Do you think someone will buy a fish, and then dive under the water and hang it on your fishing rod?" ”

"Ahh Zhu Zhanji snorted first, and then suddenly smiled: "Maybe, who can say for sure this kind of thing?" ”

Yang Shaofeng shook his head with a smile, and instead stared at the float intently.

Damn the dogma, what a young man, he didn't smile and didn't say anything, and he wore a mask all day long, whether he was happy or sad, he pressed it in his heart, and he didn't even dare to show his preferences.

But now it's okay, this unlucky kid can smile from the heart, it's much better than pretending to be as warm as jade to disgust people.

……

For Zhu Zhanji, following Young Master Yang all the way north to Shuntian Mansion is completely different from the feeling of going north to Shuntian Mansion in the past.

In the past, when I went north, most of them went to inspect the progress of the new imperial city of Shuntianfu, or followed the emperor's grandfather out of the fortress to smash people's yards, in short, they took the official road, lived in a post station or lived in the army.

followed Master Yang to the north, and lived in a post station very rarely along the way, most of the time he stayed in an inn or restaurant, and occasionally went to people's homes for a night or two.

All this made Zhu Zhanji feel very novel, and even took Yang Shaofeng to run to the people's fields to help the people turn the ground.

Then Yang Shaofeng told Zhu Zhanji, don't treat the land of the common people's family as the few acres of land that your family is doing show, this land is not the same thing as the land!
