Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 52 Corrupt officials are just a trivial matter
The palace is lively, and the outside of the palace is similar.

At this time, Su Jing has already arrived at Su's cloth line.

"Master Su, this is my cousin Yu Yun, who happened to meet me when she came to buy silk."

Zhu Biao introduced to Su Jing.

In order not to reveal his identity, he made up a new name.

Xu Miaoyun slightly bowed towards Su Jing and said, "I've seen Mr. Su."

Knowing that the person in front of him is the teacher who taught Prince Zhu Biao recently, Xu Miaoyun was also quite respectful.

Su Jing nodded slightly, although this Xu Miaoyun was young, but she was from a wealthy family at first glance, it must be not easy.

But Su Jing didn't ask too much, just said: "Niu Yi, go, follow me to dig sweet potatoes."

It has been almost three months since the sweet potatoes were just planted.

It's finally harvest time.

"Okay, Master Su."

Zhu Biao quickly followed Su Jing, very naturally.

This surprised Xu Miaoyun on the side.

She had heard of Su Jing's reputation when she was at home.

The famous teacher who taught the prince!
She was looking forward to it at first, but at this moment, her heart was beating a little.

First, I saw the prince working as a buddy in this cloth business, and then I was dragged to do farm work together.

This.
Where is it like a teacher?

"Sister Yu Yun, you can come together, anyway, it's okay, so come and have a look."

Zhu Biao said to Xu Miaoyun.

He was also doing it for the good of Xu Miaoyun, if Xu Miaoyun didn't follow him, he might be monitored by Gong Weilang.

By your side, at least be free.

"Ok."

Xu Miaoyun nodded and set off with Zhu Biao.

As for the servants around her, they all stayed in the city for the time being.

Fields.

Both Su Jing and Zhu Biao were quite proficient, and the hoe fell, digging up the soil, revealing the sweet potatoes underneath.

"Look, this is the sweet potato, as I told you before, something with a higher yield than potatoes."

Su Jing picked up a big sweet potato, ran directly to the ditch to wash it, and then cut it open with the knife he carried with him.

"Try it, it tastes good."

Su Jing handed it to Zhu Biao with a smile, and said to Xu Miaoyun who was not far away: "Yu Yun, try it too."

"Thank you, Master Su."

"Thank you Mr. Su."

Zhu Biao and Xu Miaoyun took the sweet potatoes and took a bite each.

good to eat!

The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

This humble sweet potato tastes so sweet!
"How is it, not bad."

Su Jing looked at the expressions of the two of them and said very complacently.

Sweet potatoes, there are more things that potatoes can do.

The two finished eating quickly, and Zhu Biao was better because he had received the shock of potatoes.

Xu Miaoyun began to ask about sweet potatoes.

Su Jing was happy and answered in great detail.

"So it turns out that sweet potatoes have so many uses, Mr. Su is really amazing."

Listening to Su Jing's introduction, Xu Miaoyun only felt that the sweet potato was really a treasure.

Eat, make wine, make sugar, and make sweet potato flour.
After Xu Miaoyun finished asking, Zhu Biao also started to ask.

However, unlike Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Biao's focus is mainly on planting methods, planting time, planting difficulty and yield.

Ever since he understood the contradiction between man and earth, Zhu Biao has been thinking about the solution.

Potatoes made him see hope, and now the sweet potatoes have greatly enhanced his confidence.

The increase in food production means that the population that can be fed has also greatly increased.

The time that Daming can last seems to have grown longer again!

"It is really a blessing for the common people to have Master Su in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao bowed towards Su Jing, thanking him sincerely.

Su Jing waved his hand and said: "These nonsense talk is boring, I can't influence whether the people are happy or not, don't give me a high hat."

Zhu Biao said seriously: "Master Su, with this sweet potato, the people of Ming Dynasty will have more food. If there is a famine, the sweet potato will be a life-saver!"

"With such a great kindness, how can Master Su say that it has no influence."

High yield per mu, plus easy planting.

I have to say that the sweet potato is actually quite good, although eating too much will cause acid reflux in the stomach.

But when it's time to starve to death, who cares so much?

Xu Miaoyun on the side also echoed: "Mr. Su, Brother Niu said yes, you are too modest."

Su Jing looked at the two people in front of him, Zhu Biao looked like an adult, while Xu Miaoyun was a little girl.

That is to say, the children of rich families can only come out to buy silk and satin, and normally they can only work as laborers.

"Whether the people have enough food to eat has something to do with the production of food, but it doesn't have that much relationship."

Su Jing said lightly.

Now it was Zhu Biao and Xu Miaoyun's turn to be puzzled.

"Master Su, what do you mean by that? The food production has increased, why do people still not have enough food?"

Zhu Biao asked puzzledly.

Su Jing said flatly: "It's very simple, because the people only produce food, but they don't have the power to distribute it."

The power to distribute food.

Zhu Biao immediately understood that farmers had to pay taxes for their food.

The tax-paid grain was distributed by the imperial court.

"Master Su, this statement is wrong. Nowadays, the grain tax in Daming is very small. After the farmers pay the tax, the remaining grain can be distributed freely."

Zhu Biao retorted.

When Zhu Yuanzhang designated the grain tax, Zhu Biao was also watching from the sidelines.

Ming's grain tax, at least for now, is very low.

Su Jing said indifferently: "Then, what about the next emperor, what about the next emperor? There can't be only one emperor, right?"

This direct remark shocked Xu Miaoyun who was listening.

Is this Mr. Su so straightforward?
But the prince Zhu Biao was here, so it was not her turn to question anything.

Zhu Biao said seriously: "Today's son appoints people on their merits and sympathizes with the hardships of the people. I believe that the successors he cultivates will be the same as him, mourning the hardships of the people's lives."

Although this was boasting of himself, what Zhu Biao said convinced Xu Miaoyun who knew his identity very much.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very high prestige in the entire imperial court.

Regardless of whether it is civil servants or military generals, all return to their hearts.

Su Jing smiled, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Maybe, but there is one thing, Niu Yi, you misunderstood."

"When I say the next emperor, the next emperor, I don't mean that they are not wise, but mean something else."

Xu Miaoyun listened to Su Jing's words, her mind turned, but she couldn't think of anything.

However, Zhu Biao said: "If Master Su is talking about corrupt officials, you can rest assured. Nowadays, corrupt officials are the most hated. If you have more than 60 taels of corrupt ink, you can peel day lilies."

"In the face of such severe punishment and severe law, forgive them for not having the courage!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Biao also exuded a sense of majesty.

He thought that Su Jing was talking about corrupt officials, exploiting the people, and deceiving the court. On this point, Zhu Biao was not as kind and kind as usual.

However, Su Jing still shook his head and said:

"Compared to what I said, corrupt officials are just a trivial matter."

　Regarding the update, this newcomer knows that there are still two updates on the shelves, but things are concentrated recently, and I am really busy.

　　After a few days of work, it will definitely increase!
