Chapter Twenty-Four: Lao Zhu's Thoughts, Two Tasks!
"That's right! Grow it yourself, hahaha......"
"Good, good, good!"
"Our old bones, we haven't worked for many years, it's time for the event, hahaha!"
Lao Zhu's eyes were moist, and he would cry and laugh for a while, as if he remembered something.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was as happy as a child, Zhu Yunxi was stunned.
What is Zhu Yuanzhang's identity now?
The king of a country, the dignity of the ninety-five.
And, apart from that, he's a sixty-five-year-old man!
Do you want to farm the land yourself?
Facing the loess with his back to the sky, he worked diligently and worked hard.
The difference is that Lao Zhu does not grow sweet potatoes, not crops, but the country and the people, and every poor family.
Lao Zhu planted the world.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No matter how cruel and ruthless Lao Zhu was to the ministers, he was indeed a good emperor to the people.
Throughout the ages, which emperor can do something like Lao Zhu?
In terms of ability, there may be someone who is no worse than Lao Zhu.
But if it is said that he loves the people like a son, Lao Zhu is called the second, then there is no first.
Zhu Yunxi also understands that Lao Zhu was born in poverty, and even worked as a monk asking for food.
Hungry and full.
As he himself said, if he had a bite to eat back then, he might not have raised the army.
However, this experience also made Lao Zhu more deeply aware of the suffering of the people.
It is precisely because Lao Zhu has never eaten enough in the first half of his life that he doesn't want the people to go hungry.
It is precisely because he has endured hunger and cold that he does not want to see starvation everywhere.
Zhu Yunxi just looked at Lao Zhu like that.
At the beginning, Zhu Yunxi only thought that Lao Zhu was a majestic emperor.
In addition to fear in my heart, I don't want to face it.
But at this moment, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang like an old child, he only had the word admiration in his heart.
With such a mind and such a mind, how can people not be admired?
Sensing that Zhu Yunxi was looking at him, the expression on Lao Zhu's face changed more than a dozen times in succession, and then he looked at Zhu Yunxi like that.
His eyes were complex, sometimes excited, sometimes hesitant.
Dozens of emotions converged in his eyes, making it impossible to guess his thoughts,
I can't even see his joys and sorrows.
People's hearts are unpredictable, let alone the heart of an emperor.
Zhu Yunxi was uncomfortable when Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him, and secretly beat the drum in his heart.
Could it be, Lao Zhu saw something, right?
"Grandpa." Zhu Yunxi asked weakly, "Why are you looking at Xi'er like this?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the imperial grandfather is a little distracted, Xi'er, let's ......."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to speak again and stopped.
It was as if he was struggling in his heart.
"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable? Do you want to call a doctor for you? Zhu Yunxi asked with concern.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Xi'er, Grandpa Huang wants to arrange two tasks for you, can you do it?" ”
Zhu Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Grandpa Huang, what task?" ”
Lao Zhu suddenly laughed again.
The moody appearance makes it impossible to guess his thoughts.
"Xi'er." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zhu Yunxi's hair, with love in his eyes.
At this moment, he doesn't seem to be the emperor, just an elder who has some kind of high hopes for his juniors.
But Zhu Yunxi knew that what Lao Zhu said was by no means an easy task.
"Grandpa ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Zhu Yunxi and said directly: "The first thing Grandpa Huang said was taxes. ”
"Taxes?" Zhu Yunxi was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what Lao Zhu thought.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said slowly: "The matter of business taxes you said last time, Grandpa Huang thought about it for a long time, and I think what you said is very reasonable. ”
"The taxes of those merchants are indeed too low, and for them, it is not painful at all."
Zhu Yunxi's heart moved slightly, and asked, "Grandpa Huang, what do you mean......?"
"Close!" Lao Zhu said categorically: "This tax should indeed be collected." ”
Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised, he thought that it would not be easy to persuade Lao Wei to agree to this matter, so he could only figure it out slowly, but he didn't expect that it would turn around all of a sudden.
From this point of view, there should be a lot of hope for Lao Zhu to agree to the opening of the sea ban.
However, there is no need to worry, wait for the sweet potatoes planted by Lao Zhu to grow, witness the yield of this thing, and then tell him that there are potatoes and corn overseas, and Lao Zhu will not send a boat to the sea.
The Age of Discovery is coming, and it is up to the Ming Dynasty to open this new era, rather than letting others take the lead.
Coming from the afterlife, he always had this obsession in his heart.
The Great Voyage, the Colonial Era, Primitive Capital, Social Change, Technological Leap ......
Human society is about to usher in major changes that have not been seen in thousands of years, and if we are the first to do so, we will have a great advantage.
In a flash of thought, Zhu Yunxi said loudly: "Grandpa Huangjian." ”
Lao Zhu laughed, and changed his words: "The tax is to be collected, but how to collect it, the imperial grandfather wants to test you, after all, this idea is out of your mind." ”
"You go back and think about it, write a recital, and explain in detail how to implement it."
"Also, you must write it yourself, and you can't find someone else to write it, even if you say he writes, you can't do it, understand?"
Ask a seven-year-old to write a sonata?
Zhu Yunxi was stunned.
What kind of medicine is sold in Lao Zhu's gourd?
There are many talents in the Ming Dynasty, and there are definitely many people who understand taxation, so why do you have to test yourself?
Zhu Yunxi instinctively wanted to refuse, feeling that Lao Zhu had ulterior motives.
"Grandpa Huang......" Zhu Yunxi made a bitter face, and said coquettishly: This is too difficult, right?"
Lao Zhu Man didn't care and said: "It may be difficult for others, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, besides, it's just a test, if you write it wrong, you will write it wrong, and the imperial grandfather won't blame you." ”
"Grandpa Huang, Xi'er is only seven years old!" Zhu Yunxi continued to be coquettish: "Where will Xi'er write any music?" ”
"What's wrong with being seven?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened slightly, and he pretended to be annoyed: "You are our grandson!" ”
"At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, when Ganluo was twelve years old, he sent an envoy to Zhao State, found more than a dozen cities, and Qin Shi Huang appointed him as the secretary."
"Gan Luo worships the prime minister, shocking the world."
"Although you are only seven years old, you are smart and clever, and in the eyes of the imperial grandfather, you are not much worse than Naganluo!"
"Do you want to disappoint Grandpa Huang?"
"Besides, you are not studying next to the imperial grandfather, this is the homework left by the imperial grandfather."
Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu had made up his mind, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Grandpa Huang, Xi'er understands." ”
"Well, that's right! Hahaha...... "Lao Zhu was satisfied at this time, and laughed.
"Xi'er, remember the words of the emperor's grandfather." Lao Zhu suppressed his laughter and told again: "Don't ask others to write for you, understand?" ”
Zhu Yunxi guessed Lao Zhu's intentions and said, "Grandpa Huang, Xi'er understands. ”
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Zhu Yunxi's heart.
Lao Zhu asked himself to write the chapter, and he had to write it himself, what does this mean?
Won't it ......
Without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang followed and spoke again.
"There's a second thing."
Zhu Yunxi retracted his thoughts and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang a little nervously.
The heart said, don't give me any more problems.
But sometimes, things backfire.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "This second thing is that Grandpa Huang wants you to try the case of the Bu family, how about it?" ”
Yes?
Zhu Yunxi was momentarily dumbfounded.
Good guy, Lao Zhu really doesn't treat himself as a child!
Even if you just make a plan, you still have to try the case?
A seven-year-old child, what case is on trial?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly grimaced and said, "Grandpa Huang, you, isn't this making Xi'er make a fool of yourself?" ”
"Ying Tianfu Yin, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei, Criminal Department...... There are so many civil and military officials, all of whom are more suitable than Xi'er, why do you want Xi'er to judge? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes glared again, and he said majestically: "This matter was originally caused by you, and you also arrested the people, and all the people are watching, who will you judge if you don't judge?" ”
Lao Zhu raised his voice a little, and changed from an elder to an emperor again.
Zhu Yunxi was puzzled: "Grandpa Huang, I'm only seven years old, and I don't have majesty when I sit in the court, if I say something wrong, I'll be laughed at secondarily, if Grandpa Huang is ......"
"Afraid of what?" Lao Zhu said loudly: "Timid, like a man?" ”
"You are our grandson, we are behind your back! Let's see who dares to laugh? ”
Lao Zhu wrinkled his eyebrows and glared, looking extremely majestic.
However, Zhu Yunxi's heart was slightly warmer.
Should I say it or not, Lao Zhu is really fond of these juniors!
I heard Lao Zhu continue: "Besides, when you arrested the father and son of the Bu family today, wasn't it very majestic? ”
"This matter is settled!"
Seeing that Lao Zhu was not allowed to refuse at all, Zhu Yunxi sighed secretly in his heart.
I obviously just want to be a free prince!
Now it seems that the Bu family's case involves a wide range of cases, and it is far from being as simple as it seems.
Ay!
That's it.
Who calls himself Zhu Biao's son!
Looking at the resolute old Zhu, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to agree: "Xi'er understands." ”
