Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 417: Misfortune lies where blessing lies; blessing lies where misfortune lies

"You are the boss?"

Liu Banxian still had rice grains hanging from the corners of his mouth and looked at Su Jing in surprise.

He inquired about Su Jing's situation and found out that Su Jing owned a Su's cloth shop, which had been involved in some trouble not long ago and had a great reputation.

As the owner of Su's cloth shop, he can be regarded as a famous and wealthy man in Lishui County.

Now Su Jing said that even Shaxian snacks were his, how could Liu Banxian not be surprised by this.

The most important thing is that just now he was so forced to take advantage of Su Jing, and now he looks like a freeloader.

"Why, don't I look like it?"

Su Jing smiled and asked: "Liu Banxian, aren't you very good at calculating? Why didn't you calculate that this Shaxian snack belongs to me?"

Liu Banxian immediately said: "Master Su, this is a different price."

Su Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Good guy, Liu Banxian's reaction is fast enough and alert enough.

When Zhu Di on the side heard this, he felt that Liu Banxian was a glib person and was simply an old liar.

"Liu Banxian, you are an interesting person. Do you want to go to the night market to set up a stall tonight?"

Su Jing asked.

Liu Banxian looked at Su Jing and said, "Then it depends on you, Mr. Su."

Su Jing said lightly: "What, do you mean you will go only after I go?"

"No, no, no, I told you already. I've had enough fortune tellings today, no need to do any more."

Liu Banxian shook his head and explained: "I just want to remind Mr. Su that your bloody disaster is getting closer and closer."

Again.

Su Jing was really speechless for Liu Banxian. He had watched the bloody disaster routine countless times in TV series in his previous life.

It's so boring.

Of course, maybe it will still be useful at this time in the Ming Dynasty.

"Then I'd like to thank you. I've eaten this meal. It's time for me to go back."

Su Jing stood up and was about to leave, followed closely by Zhu Di.

"and many more."

Liu Banxian called out to Su Jing.

Su Jing looked back at Liu Banxian and said, "Why, does Liu Banxian have anything else to do?"

Liu Banxian's face lost the playful look before, and he looked much more serious.

"Mr. Su, I shouldn't have said this originally, but since I have received a favor from Mr. Su, I think I still have to say it."

Liu Banxian said with a serious face.

Su Jing smiled and said lightly: "Okay, then I'll listen and see if you have anything to say that's hard to say, but you must say it."

Liu Banxian looked at Su Jing and said, "I know Mr. Su is definitely not a human being. Mr. Su should talk less about science, otherwise he will definitely suffer disaster in the future."

"That's all I have to say, Mr. Su will make his own decision."

Science is a curse.

Su Jing stood there blankly as she listened to Liu Banxian's words.

This is true, but coming from the mouth of an old fortune teller, it is a bit surprising.

What science is is essentially productivity.

The progress of science is the progress of productivity, and the progress of productivity directly affects the development of society.

The development of society means the division of interests, and the original distribution system must be adjusted.

Such adjustments are bound to bring dissatisfaction among those with vested interests.

And cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.

So woe, in that sense, is totally fine.

Su Jing also knew something about Western history in his previous life. He also knew what happened to the development of science.

However, he understood this because he already knew the history.

But what about this Liu Banxian?
He is just a native of the Ming Dynasty, and a fortune teller.

How could he say such a thing?

Su Jing doesn't have any fear, because he knew from the beginning that science is a disaster.

curious.

Su Jing became more and more curious about Liu Banxian.

"Sir, we should go."

Zhu Di's words pulled Su Jing out of her thoughts.

Su Jing nodded and said, "It's time to go."

As for Liu Banxian, there is no need to care about him now.

Under the night.

Various small vendors came out on both sides of the street, and the lights were shining brightly, making it quite lively.

"Sir, what did Liu Banxian mean by what he just said?"

Zhu Di asked Su Jing curiously.

Su Jing smiled and said, "Why does King Yan care so much about a fortune teller?"

Zhu Di's thoughts on Liu Banxian's attitude are not much different from what is written on his face.

Now that I have taken the initiative to mention it, I naturally have some thoughts.

Zhu Di replied: "Students have heard a lot about science from their eldest brother. It is his eldest brother who relays Mr. Su's teachings."

"According to the students' understanding, science can make the Ming Dynasty strong and make the people of the Ming Dynasty live a better life. But this Liu Banxian actually said it was a disaster. Sir, you did not refute it. The students want to know why?"

“Is science really a scourge?”

Not just theory, Zhu Di also sees the actual changes brought about by science.

So just now Zhu Biao thought that Su Jing would scold Liu Banxian sharply.

But there was nothing, Su Jing said nothing.

Su Jing smiled and said: "King Yan, don't be in a hurry. Let's talk while we get home. It's just in time to eat."

After dinner, walking home is what Su Jing often does.

In other words, it’s something I often do with Zhu Biao.

"Liu Banxian actually wanted to warn me that if science is spread too much, it will bring disaster to me."

Su Jing explained Liu Banxian's words.

Zhu Di immediately said: "Mr. Su, whether it is the moving pulley block, the planting methods improved by the Agricultural College, or the new firearms from the Firearms Bureau, these should be regarded as science, right?"

Su Jing nodded and said, "Yes, there are also telescopes, which are also products of scientific development."

Zhu Di said: "In this case, how can this science be a disaster? It is precisely because of these attacks that Sir, you were granted the position of Ren Yuanbo, right?"

Although he was not present personally, everyone in the court knew about Su Jing's appointment as Ren Yuanbo.

Some people are jealous, some are envious, and of course some are scolding behind their backs.

In Zhu Di's case, this science was so good that it simply gave Su Jing countless glory and wealth.

"King Yan, is it possible that the title of Lord Renyuan is a disaster?" Su Jing asked casually.

These words immediately stunned Zhu Di.

What do you mean?
Is the earldom of Renyuan a disaster?This is the position of an earl that can be hereditary and irreplaceable. I don't know how many officials are thinking about it.

This means that as long as Su Jing's descendants do not make big mistakes in the Ming Dynasty, they will always be rich and wealthy, not to mention all kinds of privileges.

"Sir, the students really can't understand."

Zhu Di looked at Su Jing with surprise in his eyes.

Su Jing did not answer immediately. What he was thinking about was the history of the massacre of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor who created the Ming Dynasty, started with a bowl and ascended to the throne of the emperor.

In the entire history of China, he is definitely one of the best emperors.

Throughout his life in politics, he was also very tolerant to the people, and many of his policies were recuperative.

Defend external enemies and basically solve the problem of the remaining remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.

Such an emperor also has "stains" that are difficult to erase.

The massacre of many founding heroes basically killed all the old friends who fought together to dominate the world.

This kind of behavior cannot be compared with many emperors in history.

However, Su Jing cannot talk to Zhu Di about this now.

"King Yan, the so-called misfortunes lie behind blessings, and blessings lie behind misfortunes. Things in this are not as simple as what you see."

Su Jing said calmly: "The prosperity of the dynasty will only last 300 years, and I don't care that much about future generations."

The fame and wealth that the world pursues are not what Su Jing wants.

In this way, the count Ren Yuanbo was just a name in Su Jing's eyes.

Zhu Di followed Su Jing's steps and believed in Su Jing's words.

How much his father wanted Su Jing to enter the court, everyone in the court could see it.

But Su Jing still chose to be a rich man in Lishui County. This was not for the sake of fame, but she really didn't care.

"Sir, even if this is the case, then science has nothing to do with disaster! Such things that benefit the country and the people can benefit the ages and can be admired by all people."

Zhu Di is still puzzled. Even if Uncle Ren Yuan is not really that good, it has nothing to do with science.

Su Jing thought for a while and said, "King Yan, you should know both potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Students know that these are two food crops cultivated by Mr., with high yields. Their significance to the Ming Dynasty is no less important than firearms."

"All the students have also eaten it, and it tastes very good. The Queen Mother has opened a vegetable plot in her own palace and grows all the vegetables."

Potatoes and sweet potatoes were epoch-making for the Ming Dynasty.

Such high-yield crops can solve the food ration problems of countless people.

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to it, and Queen Ma always planted it herself as an example.

"The Queen has also planted it, she is really admirable."

Su Jing praised.

Empress Ma's virtues are truly 360 degrees without blind spots. It's no wonder that the later Qing Dynasty didn't have any trouble, so they had to make up a big-footed empress to do it.

Zhu Di said: "Sir, why do you mention these potatoes and sweet potatoes?"

Su Jing smiled and said: "King Yan, do you think someone will be unhappy when Ming Dynasty has potatoes and sweet potatoes? You even hate me, Uncle Renyuan, in your heart."

"how is this possible!"

Zhu Di immediately said: "Sir, are you kidding? With such great merit, how can anyone be unhappy, and how can they hate Sir?"

"In the hearts of many people, I am afraid that they have imprisoned Mr."

The importance of food was too important for a feudal dynasty.

Food and national finance are inseparable. If you have food, you will have money.

Although Zhu Di is young, he understands this truth very well.

Therefore, he would not believe what Su Jing said and could not believe it.

Su Jing said calmly: "King Yan, you might as well think about it, if someone really hates me, who would they be?"

Ok?
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment. He instinctively wanted to say no directly, but Su Jing's words asked him to imagine it, and it seemed that it was not a bad idea.

After all, when leading troops to fight, imagining the enemy's actions is the most basic thing.

After a while, Zhu Di shook his head and said: "The students really can't think of it."

Su Jing was not surprised and continued to guide: "Have you ever read the history books, King Yan, to know what the general situation of the fields will be like when the dynasty falls?"

History books?

The demise of the dynasty?

Who owns the fields?

This question directly confused Zhu Di's mind, but fortunately, since the last time, he is no longer a prince who only knows how to wield swords and guns, and he also studies.

"Students know something."

Zhu Di replied: "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, all the land in the world was concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families and officials. The common people had no land and could not even support themselves. They had no choice but to revolt and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty."

Su Jing looked at Zhu Di and nodded slightly: "Yes, you are right. Nobles from aristocratic families and officials, these powerful or wealthy people, will try their best to annex land."

"Then what do you think will make ordinary people sell their land to them?"

This……

Zhu Di was silent.

He has read history books. The most common way to annex land is not to buy it at a high price, but to buy it at a low price during disaster years when people can't live.

Because only at this time, people can only continue to live by selling their fields.

But now, the appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes has made the disaster years no longer so scary.

Whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, they can be stored in the sun for a long time.

When the yield is high, it can be saved if it cannot be eaten that year.

Wait until the disaster year comes and then take it out to eat.

In this way, even if you don't sell your land, you can survive the disaster years safely.

Then, the wishful thinking of those noble families and officials would naturally come to nothing.

In other words, these are the people who hate Mr. Su!
Zhu Di was shocked in his heart and felt that things could not be like this, but every thought he had came up by himself.

Su Jing was just guiding, and what she said was true.

The cruel reality made Zhu Di not know what to say for a while.

"It seems that King Yan has figured it out."

Su Jing looked at Zhu Di who was stunned and said: "Science does benefit most people, but the development of science, to a certain extent, means change. Constant change. Change will harm the interests of some vested interests. And they are usually powerful people.”

"Such people, in order to continue to gain benefits for themselves, will naturally find ways to target science, and the best way to target science is to target the communicator of science, which is me."

"This is why Liu Banxian warned me."

Although the explanation given to Zhu Di was very simple and easy, it was based on Zhu Di knowing what he had done.

The only scientific explanation Su Jing and Liu Banxian mentioned was 'Science is a completely leaked secret'.

With just this sentence, Liu Banxian thought of so much. This person was really not simple.

Zhu Di's expression kept changing, and finally turned into a decisive expression: "Sir, don't worry, if someone really wants to be a disaster to you, the student will definitely kill him first!"
