Chapter Twenty-Three: Another Intention, I Want to Plant It Myself!
Gu Duan didn't plan to say these words to Zhu Yunxi.
After all, in his opinion, Zhu Yunxi is still a child, a doll who is only seven years old.
The affairs of the Bu family can be told to Lan Yu.
But after dealing with Zhu Yunxi, Gu Duan immediately understood that this person could not be treated as a child.
Therefore, I made up my mind and reminded him.
His voice was so low that no one else would hear him.
"Enough!" Zhu Yunxi didn't care about it, and scolded loudly: "The law of the country is above, how can personal feelings be tolerated? Even if my uncle is here today, I will catch it correctly! ”
"If it is called a misunderstanding because of relatives, then what is the use of legislation?"
"The words and laws of the Spring and Autumn Period are not respected, but I say that the Son of Heaven violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
After saying this, Zhu Yunxi could clearly feel that everyone's eyes on him had changed again.
"This ...... Xia Guan knew. Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was resolute and didn't care about others at all, Gu Duan didn't dare to say more, so he quickly took his leave and took people away.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a group of onlookers left on the dock.
Maybe it was because of the excitement, or maybe it was because he was afraid of Zhu Yunxi, and after a while, the people also dispersed.
"Fourth master, let's go back to the house?" Ying'er asked cautiously.
Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "No, don't go home, take sweet potatoes and enter the palace!" ”
……
When Zhu Yunxi came to the palace, it was still early.
Lao Zhu was reading a book in the study.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi coming, Lao Zhu put down the scroll with a smile: "Yo! Xiaobao Qingtian is here! ”
Zhu Yunxi paused slightly, only then did he know that Lao Zhu knew all about today's events.
Really well-informed.
He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa Huang, are you making fun of Xi'er?" ”
Lao Zhu hurriedly said, "How come?" Xi'er did a good job today, and it's too late for Grandpa Huang to be happy! Tell the imperial grandfather how today's little Bao Qingtian decided the case. ”
Zhu Yunxi smiled innocently, returned to the appearance of a child, and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
After listening to the whole thing in detail, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to groan and asked: "Xi'er, Bu Sibei's family is doing a lot of business, and he is your uncle's person, aren't you afraid that he will be angry?" ”
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked over with great interest, as if he wanted to see Zhu Yunxi through.
Sensing Lao Zhu's gaze, Zhu Yunxi said firmly: "The law of the country cannot be defiled, and those who bend the law for bribes must be severely punished!" ”
"That's what my dad taught me from a young age."
"The public is the public, the private is the private, the national law is ruthless, how can the public be abolished because of the private? What's more, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, those who bully and dominate the market, everyone will be punished! ”
Looking at Zhu Yunxi, who was jealous and hateful, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned all of a sudden.
He didn't say a word, just looked at Zhu Yunxi in a daze.
Seemingly, he saw something.
After being stunned for a long time, Lao Zhu laughed heartily, as if all the haze had been swept away.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Lao Zhu said three good things in a row, stretched out his thumb and said: "It is worthy of our Lao Zhu's grandson, good!" ”
Zhu Yunxi knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang hated the most was corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
Lao Zhu was born poor, and it was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a dark and chaotic era.
Corrupt officials at all levels exploited the people layer by layer, and Zhu Yuanzhang's family also suffered greatly.
Since he was a child, he didn't know how many corrupt officials he had suffered, and several members of his family had starved to death because of factors such as being exploited at various levels and famine.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even have the money to bury them.
Therefore, his hatred of corrupt officials is deep in the bone marrow.
After becoming emperor, the most stringent criminal law was set.
Whoever embezzles more than sixty taels of silver shall be put to death.
He may not be completely unaware of the Bu family's affairs, but he has never done it.
It's not that Lao Zhu has changed.
It's politics because it's not time yet.
Zhu Yunxi remembered the famous blue jade case in history, in addition to the blue jade being skinned and beheaded all over the house, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than 10,000 people!
In Zhu Yunxi's view, the blue jade rebellion was almost certainly fake.
It was just Zhu Yuanzhang clearing the way for Zhu Yuanwen to inherit the throne.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang loves the people like a son, he is also decisive and ruthless.
In the past, Zhu Yunxi only understood it as a political need.
Lao Zhu was ruthless and killed people's heads.
Now, it seems, not exactly.
Most of the people he killed should have been corrupt officials.
It was not a wrongful killing.
Lao Zhu used this name to clean up the Ming officialdom.
It seems that the water is really deep!
History is far from being written in a few words.
Thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi subconsciously shuddered.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, Xi'er, just now you said that you found a sweet potato?" ”
Zhu Yunxi came back to his senses and said, "Grandpa Huang, Xi'er is just trying to tell you about this." ”
Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands, and soon, several guards carried a box of sweet potatoes in.
Lao Zhu leaned up, picked up a sweet potato, and looked at it repeatedly.
"This is the sweet potato...... Actually, I really found it! ”
"Well, I didn't expect it to be so easy." Zhu Yunxi said.
"Is this really that useful?" Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and asked.
"Grandpa Huang didn't know that the yield of this sweet potato was very high," Zhu Yunxi explained.
"How tall exactly?"
According to the ancient figure of one catty and sixteen taels, Zhu Yunxi secretly converted it and said: "Just one acre of land can produce at least two thousand five hundred catties!" ”
In fact, he was a little unsure of how much one or two weighed at this time and how much a pound was.
There is no standard weighing instrument for later generations, and it can only be estimated.
However, even if there is a big error, he has the confidence to say such a thing.
After all, the output of the later generations of the Gan Department can reach up to 3,000 kilograms, that is, more than 6,000 kilograms.
"What? Two thousand five hundred pounds! Or the least? Lao Zhu stood up excitedly, and his hands were a little nowhere to put them.
You must know that in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, according to the conversion of one catty and sixteen taels, the yield per mu was only about two hundred catties.
"The yield of this sweet potato can be directly increased by more than ten times?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened, obviously shocked.
But soon, he realized that he had lost his mind.
"Xi'er, you're just listening to hearsay, how can you be so conclusive?"
This?
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.
He can't say that I came from the afterlife and knows all about it, right?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandpa Huang, since you assigned a task to your grandson, your grandson has gone to inquire, and this is all said by people who came back from overseas. ”
"They all say that, I don't think there will be a fake."
"Grandpa Huang, what you said is the truth, and sweet potatoes are nutritious. An adult needs to eat at least one pound of grain a day to be full, but if it is a sweet potato, only half a pound is enough. ”
"Unexpectedly...... So ......" Lao Zhu looked greedily at the sweet potato in his hand, and his eyes were a little moist.
He looked at it repeatedly, as if looking at his beloved baby.
After a long time, Lao Zhu reluctantly put down the sweet potato, and said excitedly: "Xi'er, if this sweet potato is really as you said, I will no longer have so many people starving to death!" ”
"You are the first hero of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Let's find a human race...... No, no...... No...... No! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head excitedly, and said categorically: "Let's plant it ourselves!" ”
