Chapter 293: Competitors
Faced with Zhu Di's question, Tang Ming smiled and replied, "When the emperor comes back to Nanjing this time, I don't know if he can find any changes?" ”
When the corners of Tang Ming's mouth were idle at home, a strange question came to mind, Daming is now a prosperous scene on the surface, and the people are even more well-fed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the activity of business makes everything look thriving.
But in such a prosperous scene, Zhu Di, the emperor who owns the world, worries about money every day. Tang Ming thought about such a question for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the rich people and poor emperor could show that Zhu Di was a good emperor.
Zhu Di didn't know that Tang Ming's thoughts had flown out of the sky at this moment, and he was still recalling what had changed in Nanjing City today. After a long time, he said uncertainly: "If you want to talk about change, it should be the minister of the court, and now it is becoming more and more idle." I don't see any change in the others. ”
Zhu Di's answer made Tang Ming speechless, as expected, he was a person who lived deep in the palace, and he didn't even see the changes in Nanjing City now. Maybe it should be said that the emperor didn't pay attention to these at all, just like the queen who came to find him a few days ago, if it wasn't for Zhu Gaochi who suggested that she come out for a walk, this would definitely be the same as Zhu Di, her eyes were black and she didn't know anything.
Zhu Di in front of him can be regarded as a conscientious and hard-working emperor, of course, his temper is a little explosive, but it is still within the tolerable range. He has invisibly contributed a lot to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but he does not know his exploits, and Tang Ming, who feels sad for him, explained it with some regret.
"The emperor has lived in the palace for a long time and does not know the affairs of ordinary people, and when there is a war in the country, it is understandable to live in the palace to seek the world. But now is an era of peace, and the emperor should also come out to see what kind of life the people are living now. ”
After a moment of silence, Tang Ming pointed to the busy farmers below, and continued: "The emperor may not know that those people below were all craftsmen in the treasure shipyard a few days ago, and their identities are destined to have no land of their own for the rest of their lives. But now I have called them to give them land to plant, and they have changed from artisans to farmers, and large areas of wasteland have been cultivated into farmland, and they will have their own land. ”
"We have a vast territory in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a lot of land that can be used for farming, but unfortunately there are not so many people to plant more. But even under such circumstances, many people are still forcibly included in the artisan households, and some people have no land to cultivate. ”
At this point, Tang Ming didn't dare to say any more, and it would be a taboo to continue to say it. Secretly glanced at Zhu Di's expression, fortunately he didn't show any anger, just made a contemplative gesture, and at this point, Tang Ming's heart jumped to his throat before he put it back in his stomach.
Zhu Di was indeed thinking deeply, although Tang Ming's words were not complete, but Zhu Di was not stupid, so he naturally wanted to get the meaning of the latter. But what if the truth is understood? If there were no craftsmen to build for the country, the situation would have become much worse than it is now.
"Since ancient times, the people of the world have a clear division of labor, each has its own responsibilities, some people farm, some people work, some people do business, and some people study as officials. This is a matter of course, there are no rules, you kid want to subvert the entire social system? ”
Although Zhu Di said lightly, his expression was even more unshocked, but Tang Ming was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat. The most feared thing still happened, Zhu Di's thoughts have never been able to transcend the shackles of the times, and he can't understand the thoughts of Tang Ming, a later generation.
Fortunately, he didn't cut off Tang Ming's head in anger, Tang Ming was frightened and secretly blamed himself for being troublesome.
Naturally, this problem could not continue, so he got down to business, clasped his fists and saluted: "The population of Nanjing City has reached a state of saturation now, and the prosperity of the city is no different from that of the prosperous times. I believe that when the emperor came back and went back to the palace, he should have seen what the people on the street were wearing, and the happy expression on his face was faintly revealed. ”
"The people of Nanjing today can be said to have enough food and clothing, everyone can come up with some spare money, and even the rich families among the people have begun to rise to the vanity of comparison. But the emperor may not know, what are the common vegetables in the vegetable market every day, and how many vegetables can those rich people eat on the table every day? ”
Tang Ming saw that Zhu Di was still puzzled, and he still didn't understand what he meant, so he could only explain again: "For example, on Wechen's daily dinner table, vegetables are turned over and over three times a day, and Wechen is tired of eating now, and there is nowhere to buy anything else if he wants to eat." Therefore, Weichen built this place into a vegetable base, and then collected all kinds of vegetables from all over the world to plant, so that there was no fear that there would be vegetables that could not be sold. ”
When it comes to vegetables, it is indeed as Tang Ming said, especially in the middle of winter, sometimes you can't even eat fresh vegetables. Thinking like this, Zhu Di was also a little stunned, and his eyes had already begun to sweep over his son, who had never spoken.
He knew what kind of agricultural college Tang Ming had set up not long ago, and Zhu Gaochi had always been in charge. Since Tang Ming said that growing vegetables was so good, he, the emperor, naturally let Tang Ming take the lead, no matter how he said it, he had to intervene in this matter.
On the way back, Zhu Zhudi deliberately called Zhu Gaochi to his side, and said sinisterly: "Emperor, your agricultural college should not be on the right track, this Tang Ming said that growing vegetables can make a lot of money, and after you go back, you will also mess with the academy and learn from him to grow vegetables." In a word, what vegetables Tang Ming has here, I will see them at your agricultural college. If there is anything missing, I will only ask you. ”
Zhu Gaochi didn't even dare to let go of a fart, but nodded resignedly, saying that it was a child who grew up under Zhu Di's obscenity and was deeply oppressed by him. This will be Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to have any resistance, he was already planning in his heart how to complete the strange task of his father.
I heard that Tang Ming had sent people to collect vegetable seeds from all over the Ming Dynasty, so he only needed to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and he would not have to run around by himself.
Tang Ming didn't know that his vegetable plot had not been planted yet, and he had already been remembered by Zhu Gaochi, the robber prince. The emperor, the biggest robber leader, is also ready to intervene, looking at his confidence in the greenhouse of this kind of vegetable now, I really don't know what it will be like to be messed up by Zhu Di, the father and son.
The shadow of the dish has not yet been seen, but the rival of the competition has appeared first, and he is still the most powerful person in this dynasty. Ignorance is blessing, at this moment, Tang Ming hummed a little song, walking slowly on this forest path, and seemed to be in a good mood. (To be continued.) )
