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

Chapter 30

"Grumbling..."

Under the watchful eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, the two quickly ate up a bowl of instant noodles, and also felt unfinished when they drank the soup. "Father, is there anything else?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Yes, there is, but the remaining packet Mr. Qin said to give to Xu Da, we can't be greedy for him, after all, Xu Da said that his 80-year-old mother wanted to eat a bowl of Mr. Qin's noodles before she died. "Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Mr. Qin only gave this cake to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the first hero of Ming Dynasty, so it can be seen how precious it is. After eating one bowl, do you want a second bowl?"

"Mr. Qin, it's getting more and more difficult to understand." Queen Ma wiped the red oil on the corner of her mouth with a silk thread, "The image of the unparalleled learning in the world was born, and the food is unprecedented, it doesn't seem like it comes from the commonplace. ."

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "The great talent who lives in seclusion is more or less immortal, but he is full of immortal energy."

"The high-ranking minister mentioned by the father and the mother has also heard the ministers discuss it." Zhu Biao said.

"What are the ministers talking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang was interested.

"They were discussing in private, saying that the 'climate change' that the father said at the court meeting that day, and the sharp refutation of the old views of the historians of the past dynasties, are not like what the father himself said, but someone secretly pointed out. "Zhu Biao said," He also said that that person has a very strong political ability. He does not need the imperial court to reduce or exempt taxes, and he does not need to pray to heaven to make the region rich. That person is not only a scholar of heaven and man, but also the first capable official of my Ming Dynasty. It's just that they don't yet know where that person lives."

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a peasant, and the ministers who were familiar with him knew him well, so it was difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to fool around in front of them.

"It doesn't matter if the ministers know about it. We just came from a cowboy and didn't study much, so there is nothing to avoid." Zhu Yuanzhang was very open-minded, and he didn't care that he couldn't use Qin Yu to continue to act in front of the ministers in the future.
"It's good that the royal father is not angry." Zhu Biao said, peeking at Zhu Yuanzhang from the corner of his eyes, as if he was worried about something.

well!Seeing Zhu Biao's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, in Biao'er's eyes, we are almost becoming murderers.Shall we just deal hard with those corrupt officials?We treat the common people and court-abiding officials first-class.

How could they kill them just because they discussed a few words in private?
It's only because we have killed too many corrupt officials, and the methods of skinning the real grass are too cruel, that everyone fears us.The means are not cruel enough to deter corruption, and there is no need to be an emperor without thunderous means.

It doesn't matter if everyone misunderstands us, the emperor is always alone.

It's just that even Biao'er doesn't understand us, which makes us a little sad.

I am afraid that the only people in the world who can understand us are girls.

"Biao'er, that person is indeed a great talent." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "When you inherit our country in the future, we will leave him to you. He alone is enough to make me a bright and prosperous people and make the country safe and secure. Even all nations come to the DPRK.”

"And we've made a plan for a long time. After a while, we will send you to his school to be his student. You have to teach us all his knowledge and put it in your mind."

"My son understands." Zhu Biao said.

"Come on, don't sit still when you're done eating, both of you will write with us." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Writing?" Queen Ma and Zhu Biao were surprised.

"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang said, walking to the imperial office with his wife and son, spread out the rice paper on the table, picked up a writing brush, and wrote four big characters on the white paper: Patriotic Merchant.

The two watched from the side.

"Father is a good word!" Zhu Biao said.

"Write, what are you two still doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a sheet and started to write Chapter 2, and said when he saw that the two hadn't started yet.

"Chongha, what do you want us to write?" Queen Ma asked.

"Just write the words 'patriotic businessman'. The more you write, the better." Zhu Yuanzhang said.When Queen Ma and Zhu Biao heard the words, they each spread out the rice paper, picked up the brush and began to write.

Half an hour passed, and the patriotic businessman had already written thirty or forty pieces of words.

"Chongha, why do you want us to write so many 'patriotic businessmen'?" Queen Ma couldn't help but ask, "Even if you want to practice calligraphy, you don't need to write all of them the same."

"Sister thinks we are asking you to practice calligraphy?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "What do you think Biao'er?"

"Erchen also thinks that he is practicing calligraphy." Zhu Biao said.

"Practicing calligraphy? The layout is small." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, "Let me tell you the truth, we are not practicing calligraphy, we are earning treasury silver for Daming."

"Earn treasury silver?" Queen Ma was surprised.

"Believe it or not, just this one piece of writing can sell at least 5000 million taels of silver." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the largest one, carefully blew the ink on it and said, "Other smaller writing pieces, At least 500 million taels."

"5000 million taels of silver!? That's my tax revenue for the fifth year of Ming Dynasty!" Empress Ma and Zhu Biao were dumbfounded when they heard this. Empress Ma said, "Chongba, I think you've lost your head?" On his forehead, "I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? The big ones sell for 5000 million and the small ones sell for 500 million. Your calligraphy level is much worse than that of Liu Bowen, and a pair of his calligraphy and paintings are worth five taels at most."

"Biao'er, do you believe it or not?" Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Queen Ma and asked Zhu Biao instead.

"Erchen...also a little unbelievable." Zhu Biao was a little afraid of his father, and never dared to say nothing in front of his father.But what his father said this time was a bit too bizarre, and he was told in conscience not to tell such a big lie.

"I don't blame you if you don't believe it. After all, you don't have the knowledge and unique vision of Mr. Qin. Just wait, within a month, you will have to believe our words." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "At that time, it is estimated that your mother Both will be dumbfounded."

"Chongba, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Queen Ma frowned.

"Forget it, we won't hide it from you." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We will sell the largest font to Shen Wansan. As for the other fonts, we will sell it to wealthy merchants across the country."

"Are the fonts sold to the merchants?" Queen Ma lowered her head and pondered, as if she understood something, "The characters bestowed by the emperor are indeed a great honor for the merchants, not only the golden signboards can also be circulated Later generations. Any merchant in the world will do everything possible to get the emperor's royal handwriting, and they will definitely spend a lot of money to buy it."

"It's just Chongba, the price you set is too outrageous. Daming has just founded the country, and they can't get that much money."
