The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 363 All For The Family

After leaving the teacher's house, Liu Buyi went directly to the dormitory arranged by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce for the teacher.

It is in a small courtyard with four rooms. The rooms are not too big, but the location is very good. Less than one mile away, the school is located.

After entering the house, Liu Buyi lit up the brazier, and the house began to gradually warm up.

"The chamber of commerce is really generous. The house in this area, the tooth shop, at least one month is afraid of asking for a lot of money, but it is free to live in. In a few days, you can still go to collect charcoal. It's really good."

"I don't know what they think. They just leave like this. I'm afraid that after a few days, they won't even have a place to live. They can only live in a fellow countryman's house. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. It depends on the face of others. live."

While talking to himself, Liu Yi didn't stop, adding coals into the brazier.

The charcoal that was added just now had a pungent smell, probably because of some water vapor, and it disappeared as it burned.

The burning of charcoal is poisonous, and Zhu Ying only explained to the Chamber of Commerce, and did not pay too much attention to it.

The reason for this is mainly because it is very different from the current building method of Daming.

The houses of the Ming Dynasty are not a sealed structure like the later generations, but have good ventilation performance.

There are gaps between the roof tiles.

Therefore, the poisonous gas produced by burning coal will not accumulate indoors and will pass away soon.

This naturally also has a disadvantage. It is cooler in summer and the heat dissipation is better, but the heat preservation effect in winter is much worse.

After tidying up, Liu Buyi took out a volume of books from his sleeve, not the classics that literati often read, but military books borrowed from the teacher.

Seeing the art of war, Liu Yi couldn't help thinking about what happened in the teacher's residence just now.

"The teacher is really transparent when looking at things, but I originally thought that the teacher would secretly oppose His Royal Highness, so I really stayed out of it."

"His Majesty's prestige is increasing day by day, and now the literati don't know it, but in the army, everyone worships him."

"There are so many sensible scholars who secretly admire them in their hearts without saying anything."

"Teacher's chess move is right."

After thinking about it in his heart, Liu Buyi opened the military book and started to read it seriously.

However, what he didn't know was that his teacher, Liu Sanwu, was in the mansion at the moment, and asked the old housekeeper to start copying one of his letters.

The old butler grew up in Liu's family since he was a child. He is a real family son. In terms of loyalty, he is absolutely trustworthy.

"The old man calls himself Tan Tan Weng. I never thought that I would do such a thing today."

Liu Sanwu seemed to be speaking to the old housekeeper, but also to himself.

Hearing this, the old steward stopped writing slightly, and comforted him: "In my opinion, the matter of the master is a righteous act. This kind of action, the master is not for himself, but for the sake of the family."

"Being rewarded by the master, I was lucky enough to be able to read and understand the truth. In this world, there is a family first, and then a country. If you don't have a home, you will come to a country. The master's decision is definitely right."

The home the old housekeeper mentioned was the family's home, not his own.

Liu Sanwu's achievements today are of course inseparable from the family, or in other words, no one can leave the family these days.

After listening to the old steward's words, Liu Sanwuqing sighed softly and said: "There is a saying in Confucianism, the heaven and the earth, the king and the teacher, and the old man was displaced, and he was appreciated by His Majesty in his later years, and this is how he is today."

"Whether it's kingship, wealth, or noble ministers, I never compromise, but today, I finally failed to abide by my job."

"That's it, that's it!"

Liu Sanwu sighed in a sigh.

It has been seven years since Hongwu 18th year was recommended by Ru Yu to "apply for a job with literature".

In the officialdom, there are ups and downs, ups and downs, but the fundamentals are not lost.

Now, no words.

The letter excerpted by the old housekeeper was written by Liu Sanwu.

Thousands of words were eloquently described in detail about the various disadvantages that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce opened a school to all the families.

As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

How can the efforts of several generations lose to an imperial examination.

Ten years of hard study in the cold window can surpass a family. In the eyes of today's scholars, or Liu Sanwu, how ridiculous and absurd.

Therefore, Liu Sanwu wrote this letter.

Due to the problem of handwriting, Liu Sanwu has a very high achievement in personal calligraphy, but anyone who is familiar with it can recognize it, so he asked the old housekeeper to re-excerpt a copy.

In this way, when it spreads, it will not involve yourself.

"This school dispute has never been on the side of the capital, but all over the country. Zhang Xin, Bai Xinwu, you are so high-profile in the capital, are you asking for trouble?"

Thinking of everything that happened in the Imperial Academy, Liu Sanwu felt a little ridiculous.

Where is this capital, there is no hidden line of Jinyiwei there.

Maybe there are His Majesty's cronies in the Imperial Academy.

Those words that were said will be recorded in detail and sent to His Majesty within an hour or two.

Liu Sanwu often said that he did not have a city, and he did everything rashly and frankly, but this did not mean that he was stupid.

If you are really stupid, you will not live today.

They are already 80 years old, and they have completely experienced the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so they can't see through anything.

Some things, if you don't talk about it, your mind is clear, and it depends on whether you want to do it or not.

It didn't take long for the old butler to finish the excerpt.

Liu Sanwu got up, took the letter he had written, then tremblingly walked to the side of the brazier and put it down.

Looking at the letter that gradually turned into ashes, Liu Sanwu sighed and said, "Let's pass it on."

"Be careful, don't reveal yourself, disguise yourself, don't let people recognize you."

The old housekeeper responded, "I see, sir."

He is said to be an old housekeeper, but he is actually only in his 60s. In front of the 80-year-old Liu Sanwu, he can't be called old.

In fact, it is not unusual to live to 60 years old in Daming, even 80 years old is considered normal.

Only people who are over 90 or over a hundred years old can truly live a long life.

From this point of view, it seems that they are almost the same as the later generations, which seems a little wrong, but most people will not live to this age.

People, first of all, are overworked and malnourished. When they reach the age of 60 or [-], they will develop various physical problems. The most important thing is that they may not have the money to treat them.

Most old people die early because of hunger, cold, heat, fatigue, and illness.

It seems that the family is well-off, there are good doctors in the clan, and they don't need to plow the fields at ordinary times. They practice literature and martial arts, so they are naturally strong.

Even when Liu Sanwu was young, he knew a few things. Ordinary men can't get close.

It seems that many people have an illusion that scholars are powerless.

In fact, this idea is very different.

Even scholars from poor and poor families generally don't go to work in the fields, even if their families are poor, they don't go to the fields, which is called decent.

These days, let alone fame, those who can read and write are all very impressive, and every household in the clan respects them.

It's the same reason that there are great scholars in the village of later generations.

In terms of food, basically the whole family provides food, and neighbors in the village often send food, and those who are richer often send chicken, duck and fish.

What is looked at by others does not exist.

One is that no one knows whether today's scholars will be able to win the exam tomorrow, and the other is that even if they are children, they are also learned.

Many people want to ask him to teach his children to read.

A poor family is also a powerful family.

It is a completely different concept from ordinary people.

With a sufficient supply of meat, the bones of the body are of course much better.

Especially now at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, more or less know how to practice a few moves.

There is also physical fitness, among other things, it is much better than [-]% of ordinary people in later generations.

You know, the so-called going to the capital to rush for the exam is hundreds of miles away, but it's all on two feet, and the physical fitness is not good, even the capital can't reach it.

Of course there are exceptions, generally speaking, the strength of scholars is at least greater than that of ordinary peasants.

So Liu Sanwu's current choice is also understandable.

Without a family, there would be no today.

Now His Royal Highness Taisun wants to dig out the roots of the family, Liu Sanwu can only do it.

He is also very skilled in protecting himself wisely.

The day before Zhengdan, the capital was very hot.

The howling cold wind can't stop the good mood of the people going out for shopping.

This year's Beijing Normal University is extremely lively.

Under the control of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, there are various food courts, juggling lantern shows, and even storytelling contests.

All kinds of programs are endless, dazzling and dizzying.

"This year's Zhengdan, I'm afraid it's not so lively. I heard that all the officials and lords who are eligible to enter the palace to congratulate will be given two new clothes."

"Isn't it? It's just that there is too much food here. I haven't seen so many in previous years. There are so many novelties. Even the goods from the barbarians have been brought in."

"Going out in the morning, I brought Tongguanbao banknotes with me. I thought it would be enough to spend a few hundred Wen at most. I didn't realize that I spent most of the day and wanted to go home to get the money. Really."

"Isn't that right? Even the thrifty woman of a certain family would like to spend every penny in half, but now every time she goes out of the street and returns home, she brings a lot of things with her. It's rare, rare!"

The people who can live in the capital, even if they are ordinary people, seem to be poor, but in fact they all have some family background.

It's just that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, diligence and thrift prevailed, and money was saved.

And Zhu Ying's series of general direction arrangements are clearly aimed at stimulating consumption and promoting the circulation of goods.

They all hid their money at home, so how could they start a market economy.

Stimulating consumption is very simple, that is, a big price cut will do.

Greed for cheap has existed since ancient times.

Zhu Ying's big price cut has really lowered the price to the bottom, there is no routine at all.

Why are there more and more people buying things, because in the past, for example, pepper costs three per catty.

But now, buy two get one free, just ask you if it smells good.

Not only seasonings, but also other hard currencies such as silk cloth and rice noodles, there are also a lot of discounts, but there is a certain amount of purchase limit every day.

All in all, first try to get the people to go out, and then let them pay with huge discounts.

Let you buy it today, and want to buy it tomorrow.

Even the candied haws from the small street vendor are buy one get one free.

The people of Daming, who have never seen such a scene before, got into it all at once.

And the slogan put out by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is called the Chamber of Commerce's million-dollar subsidy.

The Qunying Chamber of Commerce contributed millions of coins to purchase the needs of the people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and make up the price difference.

Such a grand event will last until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This also gave many people outside the capital hope to rush over.

The current capital is a truly prosperous scene.

At this moment, the Waiwulong Square outside the Daming Palace, because of the previous demolition, looks very spacious. Now there are sheds on the left and right sides, selling delicacies from all over the world.

Here are the folk snacks of the thirteen provincial capitals, and even the famous food of some small countries.

At this time, near the middle area, there are people building sheds.

But this time the shed is very close to the middle.

Outer Wulong Square is very large, but there are regulations when it is opened, and enough passages in the middle must be reserved.

Now someone is actually building a shed beside it, but the common people also understand that only the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has this qualification.

More and more people, curious, gathered around to watch.

Because everyone discovered that this time there were government officials among them.

It didn't take long for the shed to be set up, about three feet in size at the front and back, about a hundred square meters if converted for future generations.

Before the common people came to inquire, the people from the government put up a notice here.

Soon there will be people who can read and read aloud.

This shed was built by Zhu Ying, similar to the concept of a sales department, for the pre-sale of new houses from Zhengyangmen to here.

Even if the demolition has not started yet, it will not affect it in the slightest.

Not everyone can go in and inquire. If you want to know the details, you have to show five thousand coins and show your wealth to be eligible to enter, and you must register for household registration.

Five thousand coins!
The crowd immediately exploded.

The aggressive style of this shed also immediately flew up.

Not to mention five thousand guan, it is five hundred guan banknotes, which is a wealth that many people dare not even dream of, but now it is just a qualification to enter.

Many people thought it was outrageous, but within half an hour, people came out of the crowd one after another and walked straight over.

"That's shopkeeper Chen, good guy, he looks low-key on weekdays, but he actually has a huge sum of [-] yuan."

"Look, that's Shopkeeper Liu."

"This old man has an extraordinary bearing and is definitely not very human."

"The young man just now really couldn't tell that he must be a junior of everyone."

A sound of exclamation came from the crowd, which was really eye-opening. Everyone who passed by honestly showed five thousand coins.

In less than an hour, more than ten people entered.

Some people are familiar with it, and some don't know their origins, but it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to be able to take out five thousand guan banknotes.

Zhu Ying's plan to transform Zhengyang Avenue has been spread in a small area for a long time, and those who are well-informed have also had a general understanding.

Now that the shed has been set up, it is obviously settled.

Since ancient times, we have paid attention to not revealing our wealth. All the visitors did not come alone, at least with a dozen or so guards, to ensure safety and avoid accidents.

On the side of the shed, Song Zhong watched all this, and told Qianhu next to him:
"As long as everyone who enters is recorded, let the brothers look through the household registration files, so that they can check it."

　Recommend a book from a friend: I am the grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earning [-] million taels at the beginning.

　　Censor: "Your Majesty, I have heard that Zhu Zhangui, the second emperor's grandson, has gone out to sea for many times pretending to be pirates and looting. This is detrimental to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty please punish me severely!"

　　Zhu Zhangui: "I earned [-] million taels."

　　Censor: "I also heard that His Royal Highness the second emperor's grandson, when trading with the vassal of the Fan state, repeatedly forced buying and selling, causing the vassal of the Fan state to complain a lot."

　　Zhu Zhangui: "I earned [-] million taels."

　　Censor: "His Royal Highness, the second emperor's grandson, also forcibly robbed princesses of other countries to be dancers and separated other people's flesh and blood. This is..."

　　Zhu Zhangui: "I earned back [-] million taels."

　　The censor stared: Can we not mention the [-] million taels.
