Chapter Twenty-Eight: You Both Are Nine Leaky Fish
The imperial court used this method to calculate Shen Wansan, and Shen Wansan had to thank the emperor for giving him a plaque of patriotic businessmen. In ancient times, everyone cherished the things given by the emperor himself, and they would be offered as family heirlooms.
That's a great honor.
Therefore, the dung water that the emperor poured on the cut leeks was a glory that did not cost a penny and the bells and whistles.
In addition, the merchants may also be grateful that the court only moved his butlers and cronies, and did not even sit on him. This is the leek in gratitude to the farmer, only cutting their leaves and not plucking their roots.
"Mr. Qin, we are completely convinced of you." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The historical problem that plagued us for a night has now been solved." ”
This question didn't just bother Zhu Yuanzhang for a night?
The problem that the imperial court could not get money was a huge problem that all dynasties and almost all feudal emperors felt unsolvable.
It can be said that it troubled the entire feudal dynasty, all the emperors.
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di is considered to be the wiser among many emperors, right? However, during his reign, there was still a shortage of money in the imperial court, and when he was the poorest, the household department could not pay the officials.
The emperor didn't bother to delve into this kind of thing, and simply ordered the people below to figure it out. So Zhu Gaochi personally went to the street to sell furniture and luxury goods in exchange for money to pay officials' salaries.
At that time, the head of the household department even came up with a bad idea, to give officials in kind instead of silver, just like some factories now can't afford to pay wages to employees to send products to offset their accounts.
During the Kangxi period, the emperor could not come up with money for disaster relief, so he acquiesced to the imperial court selling officials to the people.
The two emperors didn't realize that the court had no money, but those local tyrants and gentry had money, because they could afford luxury goods and buy official titles, and they would be tens of thousands of taels of silver as soon as they made a move.
The country is poor and the people are rich, and it has already appeared in the Yongle and Kangxi periods.
And these two emperors didn't think of cutting rich leeks.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qin Yu with his eyes, and inexplicably felt that this person was a little terrifying.
The problems that the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty could not solve were easily solved by him.
But after thinking about it, Qin Yu only likes to teach in the mountain village, and as long as he is not an official, he will not pose any threat to the old Zhu family. Before, he really wanted Qin Yu to be an official, and he could be by his side all the time. But now he is a little afraid of letting Qin Yu be an official, because from his strategy, it can be seen that this person is not something he can handle.
"What a clever method, it can be called the only one in the ages!" The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more powerful he felt.
"It's too exaggerated to have clever means, isn't it?" Qin Yu looked at Village Chief Huang dumbly, "Anyone who has experienced nine years of education can think of it." ”
You're both a nine-leaky fish.
And the means are not high, it seems to have no practical significance, and it is not ancient now.
You, the village chief who does not do his job, are completely worried about the ancients by talking with tears.
"You scholars are really terrible!" Xu Dadao, "If Mr. Qin uses this trick to calculate us, we estimate that even at the moment of being beheaded, we will still be grateful to him in our hearts." ”
looked at Qin Yu: The emperor asked me to serve him as a guard in the future, should I be calculated to death by him in the future, right? If he wants to deal with us, we don't see the slightest sign of it.
I don't even know how I died.
……
"Okay, let's stop discussing these things that have nothing to do with reality, let's be pragmatic and go back to school first." Qin Yu said.
Suddenly, I saw a locust tree with a thick bowl mouth next to it, and my heart moved, and I said, "This locust tree is long and straight, and the wood is more suitable for blackboards." Xu Da, can you help me cut it and bring it back? Save yourself the trouble next time. ”
"It's a small thing." Xu Dadao.
After speaking, he walked to the locust tree, hugged the trunk with both hands, and said, "I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, let's try to regress with our strength." With that, the trunk of the tree trembled, and the leaves fell down. The crow's nest in the tree fell, and the old owl screamed and spread its wings and flew away. The ground under the locust tree is cracked and seems to show signs of loosening.
"You want to learn from Lu Zhishen to pull out the weeping willows!" Qin Yu said with a smile.
Secretly surprised by its brute strength, this thing is a bit too talented and has a bit of a high force value.
He knew that the peasants in the mountainous areas generally had a lot of strength, and some strong men could trot all the way with more than 200 catties of things on their backs, and their physique was far from being comparable to that of people in the city.
If a rural guy like this can learn some fighting skills, it will not be a problem to fight two or three.
"With Xu Da's brute strength, plus he was originally an Orion, it is estimated that he can fight five." Qin Yu thought to himself.
"I'm old, and my kung fu is not as good as before." Xu Da didn't pull out the big tree after all, and smiled awkwardly. took out the saber in his arms, cut off the old locust tree with only three cuts, and then carried the trunk and followed Qin Yuhuang Village Chief back to the village.
The three of them walked into Qin Yu's teacher's dormitory, and at this time, the villagers had already cleaned up the room for him and all went back to work on the farm.
"I'm a little hungry." Qin Yu took out a bag of instant noodles from the bag, tore open the plastic bag and put the dough inside into the stainless steel rice bowl, then tore open the seasoning bag and poured the vegetable bag into it one by one, and finally poured boiling water from the kettle and covered it with a lid.
Feeling that the time was almost up, he opened the lid and took out the plastic fork inside, and ate it in a big gulp.
Since he came to Lujia Village or woke up, he hadn't eaten a full meal.
Immediately, the enticing fragrance hits the face.
What is this thing, it smells so fragrant!! Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed his nose, we have eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas in the world since we became emperors, but we have never smelled such a fragrant taste.
"Grunt" and swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.
Turning his head to look at Xu Da, Xu Da was also staring at Qin Yu with his eyes, and kept swallowing saliva.
However, due to the identity of the emperor and the Duke of Wei and the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, the two of them couldn't wipe their faces at all and took the initiative to speak.
When Qin Yu ate all the soup by himself, he realized that the two of them seemed to be abnormal, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Village Chief Huang and Xu Da staring at his rice bowl with hungry wolf-like light, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Or, the two of you can also have some?" ”
"Then thank you Mr. Qin." Hearing this, the two quickly sat down at the table, waiting for Qin Yu to give them instant noodles.
In fact, Qin Yu didn't intend to eat alone just now, he just felt that instant noodles were too commonplace, and others would not be rare at all. Outside the mountain, you basically invite people to the restaurant, how can you invite people to eat instant noodles?
If you ask someone to eat instant noodles when you are hungry in a university dormitory, all your classmates will eat them by themselves and will not care about others, if you open your mouth to invite others to eat, it will definitely be considered a neurosis, and if you don't have money to treat you, don't invite someone to eat instant noodles.
"It seems that they have really never eaten instant noodles, after all, Lujia Village is a remote mountain village, and the ideology is still in ancient times." Qin Yu understood.
