After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 24
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to hear some constructive opinions from Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, but the answers of the two made him very disappointed.

I thought that when Mr. Qin said that to make Lujia Village rich, he did not ask for money from above, let alone pray for rain. He was much better than those who didn't ask people to ask ghosts and gods. He was a completely pragmatic person.

Liu Bowen and Li Shan are so arrogant that they can't be compared with him.

"The biggest problem of the court now is the lack of money. How can the court's finances be enriched?" Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought.The issue of money belongs to the Ministry of Households, and the current Minister of the Household is Lu Chang, an old minister of the former Yuan Dynasty.Although this person is loyal to Daming and can be considered a capable person in his work, he is still a little mediocre and has no outstanding performance.

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the last thing it needed was mediocrity, but it urgently needed talents who dared to break the routine and use some extraordinary means to bring huge benefits to the court.

No matter what means you use, if you can get money for the court, you are a competent official.

Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Mr. Qin's knowledge is unprecedented, why don't I ask him this question?"

"If he can even solve this matter, he will be able to replace the minister of households."

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang left the imperial study, feeling extremely depressed.

Although what Zhu Yuanzhang gave them just now was not a proposition, they still didn't answer it, or they had already answered it, but they didn't meet the emperor's wishes, which made them feel ashamed.

The two remembered what Zhu Yuanzhang said just now, and looked at each other: I still have such a talent in Daming?Can a village that has been impoverished for thousands of years be changed without any external force?

"Bowen, it seems that His Majesty has found a new talent." Li Shanchang said lightly.The implied meaning in the words is very obvious, the status of the two of us in the emperor's heart will be challenged again.

When Zhu Yuanzhang found out that Hu Weiyong was a talent, he arranged him to Zhongshu Province, which divided Li Shanchang's power a lot, and the status of the two of them also plummeted.If there is another one, I am afraid that Li Shanchang's position as prime minister will exist in name only.And it is still unknown who the person is, if this person does not belong to the Huaixi party, it will be even more disadvantageous to him.

Therefore, Li Shanchang has already felt the threat.

Hu Weiyong is from Huaixi, and he doesn't care much about Hu Weiyong's separation of powers. Anyway, Hu Weiyong regards him as a teacher.If the people here don't listen to him, then Huaixi's power will be greatly weakened.

"Your Majesty has found a new talent, isn't it my great blessing?" Liu Bowen said indifferently, and the answer was not leaking.

"Your Majesty has said just now, that person does not need to pray to the sky for rain." Li Shan said long.There are two meanings in the words: that person does not need to ask for rain to be able to govern the county and your status is also threatened. Liu Bowen's success in praying for rain in the first two times may be luck, otherwise the emperor will not put you out of the Qintian prison. Called out to serve as the censor, and last time you beheaded my cronies by praying for rain, if you don't join me, I will give you small shoes to wear.

However, Liu Bowen ignored it. Anyway, it was not a day or two that the two had been secretly fighting each other.

……

Lujia Village.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked down the steep hillside and appeared in the village.

The tall one is Qin Yu and the short one is Lu Qingqian. Lu Qingqian was carrying a large travel bag, but Qin Yu had empty hands.Qin Yu originally wanted to carry the travel bag by himself, but Lu Qingqian said that your body has just recovered and is not suitable for carrying heavy things. What if the wound opens?Qin Yu couldn't beat her, so he had to let her help.Lu Qingqian has gradually begun to integrate into the role of maid.

But what surprised Qin Yu was that although Lu Qingqian was young, he was very strong, and it was easy to go down the mountain with a travel bag of dozens of pounds on his back.

The children of the poor are in charge early.

Qin Yu remembered that the last time a girl in the village could carry a dung basket up the mountain at the age of seven or eight.

Their physique is completely incomparable to the girls in the city. The girls in the city are still coquettish in their parents' arms at the age of seven or eight, and even some delicate girls seem to struggle to carry ten kilograms of things, as if they have degenerated.

Physical fitness comes from exercise, and if you don't exercise, it's like the flowers in the greenhouse can't stand the wind and rain.

As soon as he entered the village, Qin Yu looked up and saw that all the villagers, led by the patriarch, were already waiting for them at the entrance of the village.All of them were dressed in tatters and dark skinned, and the children were even naked, but their eyes were bright and they were looking at him curiously.

The faces of the adults were full of respect.

"Lu Sansheng, patriarch of the Lu clan, welcome Mr. Qin!" The 80-year-old old man stepped forward and saluted him respectfully.

"Congratulations, sir!" The rest of the villagers also saluted.Nearby villagers took out two hanging firecrackers and set them off on the trees at the entrance of the village.

"Everyone... you're too polite." Qin Yu felt moved.This welcome ceremony is too grand, isn't it?
I remember that in the last village, although the villagers also welcomed him very much, at most the whole village watched the children laughing and laughing. No patriarch led the whole village to salute him, nor set off firecrackers for him.

The poverty of Lujia Village is higher than that of any other poor mountain village in the past, and it is also higher than that in etiquette.

"Mr. Qin is a scholar. He is willing to come to teach in our poor mountain village. We should come out to greet us, otherwise Sage Kong will blame us for not being polite." Lu Sansheng said, and the other two elders also heard the words. After nodding, the elders of the third room stood up and said, "Tonight, the Lu clan will also take care of the wind and dust for the gentleman. Please be sure to visit me at that time."

"Old gentleman is so polite, there's no need to be so grand, I'm just an ordinary volunteer teacher." Qin Yu said, "As for the banquet, forget about it. I feel a little sick in my stomach today."

Hearing that Qin Yu was going to cancel tonight's dinner, a group of villagers gave him grateful glances.

Deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart!

They are poor, and eating together in groups will hurt them.Because they couldn't afford it at all, the food had to be collected by each household, some contributed two taels of bacon, some contributed two catties of rice, and some contributed game, and these precious things were usually reluctant to eat.This time, in order to welcome Qin Yu, the noble man, every family will definitely be hollowed out.

Qin Yu's high spirits didn't look like he had an upset stomach at all, and everyone knew that he was recovering from his injuries on the mountain. He ate rough meals for half a month and was in urgent need of nutrition, but he refused to eat.

This seemingly casual sentence has warmed the hearts of everyone present.
