Villager of Daming

Chapter 683: On the Ex-junior about the Comfortable Life

The world became quiet in the afternoon, and the children ran to bed after lunch.

Everyone else was busy with their own affairs. The palace maids and eunuchs who were changing shifts took a break after lunch and were about to study.

There are three shifts in the palace, one every four hours. Those who have just gotten off work take a bath, eat, and sleep. After sleeping, they get up to study, and then deal with their own affairs and wait for their replacement.

It feels like they are relaxed, but they will not go out to play or drink. They spend all their time resting and studying.

They can sleep for five hours, feel refreshed after taking over, and have less chance of making mistakes.

The palace has money and can afford it, but when you are poor, you can't even work three shifts like this even if you are exhausted.

A few years ago, the maids and eunuchs had to guard the palace at night and boil water on the stove. God knows which concubine needed something in the middle of the night.

Now there is no place to put a thermos bucket. Boiling water is put in a thermos bottle. Light bulbs can be made, glass mirrors can be made, and thermos bottles can be made.

When the concubine gets up in the middle of the night to take a bath, there is hot water ready for twelve hours without interruption, and there is a boiler.

Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs at this moment, they are all energetic and responsive, and none of them dozed off.

"You're just used to it. Wouldn't it be a good idea to go back to your room and sleep?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a palace maid not far away sitting under a sun umbrella and sleeping, shook his head and said.

The palace maid was obviously not on duty. She ate fruit after dinner and fell asleep sitting up, with a rocking chair under the parasol.

"It's better to get more sun. That's a sun umbrella, not a parasol. Umbrellas that can protect from the sun are only found in villages and palaces, and the materials are produced in laboratories."

The mayor helped the palace maid talk. It wasn't too hot under the umbrella, but you could still bask in the sun.

Usually, many palace maids and eunuchs come to Xiaqiu Village to eat, study, and bask in the sun after going to bed.

They were not purchased by the palace and could not go out casually. No one would care about them when they went to Xiaqiu Village.

The palace maids and eunuchs save money. If they need to buy cosmetics, they usually give money to the people who go out to buy them and ask them to help bring them.

There are also fruits and snacks to eat. It turns out that the quantities allocated to various places in the palace are limited and cannot be left out. The palace maids and eunuchs can only buy them by themselves.

After Xiaqiu Village moved here, they had food in Xiaqiu Village. Where could cosmetics be better than in the village? The best cosmetics store in Nanjing was opened in Xiaqiu Village.

Each of them has a makeup box with a mirror. The missing cosmetics in it have to be replenished in the village, including precious perfumes.

The eunuch needs perfume, and he also needs the same thing that women use every month, plus bathing twice a day so that he doesn't have an unpleasant smell.

Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew his gaze: "The palaces of the previous dynasties are not as good as ours, so we will not kill the maids and eunuchs now.

I always made mistakes in the past, that is, I didn't get enough sleep, I felt sleepy, and the food I ate was not good, and I couldn't eat meat.

Now Guanglu Temple cooks meat for them, and they even come to the village to eat it. The money in the palace is so good!

This year, it is estimated that the palace will make more than [-] million guan in the end, and the imperial court's income will be about [-] million guan.

The palace makes money from the barbarians, and the court makes money from the common people and businessmen. It is best to separate them, otherwise they will spend money randomly. "

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine and talked about income.

Without income support, he couldn't support such a harem. How could there be three shifts of palace maids and eunuchs in the past dynasties?Where can I get meat and fruits for every meal?

Change it to the third year of Hongwu, and see if the palace maid dares to lie on the leisure chair and bask in the sun?No work in sight?I can’t kill you.

The palace made more money from transactions with foreigners. In mid-October, the equivalent of money was more than 700 million yuan. There is still more than a month left, and there is no problem in collecting 900 million yuan.

The court's income mainly came from steel and coal, and the people needed to buy tools.Last year, the prince visited the north and helped the people make money along the way. The people would spend money when they had money, and the merchants would pay taxes, which was another income.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty led the people to fish and make dried salted fish, which was considered for the imperial court.

People's grain production has increased, and the price of salt has become cheaper. People will buy more salt to make pickled vegetables, and raise livestock and poultry to feed salt.

People don't charge taxes when they sell things, but shops charge taxes when they buy them, process them and then sell them.

As long as materials flow into the market, there will eventually be a tax collection link.

People with more money are not willing to do hard labor, and would rather pay, and the government will receive the money and hire more professional people to do professional things.

"It's all thanks to your Majesty's ability to govern the country, and the common people respect your Majesty!"

The captain held a cup of wine and drank a toast. He drank a cup of white wine and held his breath first, then slowly spit it out.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very considerate and drank most of the wine in his cup. He did the same thing and exhaled: "As agreed, we should not flatter each other.

We are not drunk, we know where the money came from!The palace and the court are rich, but your village in Xiaqiu... is not poor either!

Yep!The village has always mastered the best technology, and with technology comes money. All the seeds grown in the village are donated in exchange for food.

Fan Li is not as good as you. He has spent all his wealth time and time again, but he can only hide. "

"It's because Gou Jian can't tolerate others. He came to the throne. He doesn't want people to know about his past humiliation. Fan Li gave him advice and knows him well.

The same is true for Wen Zhong. He relied on his high achievements, was in an important position, and was greedy for power, so he was killed by Gou Jian.

Your Majesty is born among the common people. He is familiar with the people's sufferings and empathizes with them. Naturally, there is no need to worry.

Money is a trivial matter to the village. Seeing His Majesty lead the people of Ming Dynasty to live a good life will be a long-cherished wish. "

The chief continued to praise, Hanhan actually said, Zhu Yuanzhang, your Majesty, is petty and thinks that there are always unruly people who want to harm me.

Our purpose is to make ourselves live a happy life, and then lead the people to live a happy life. The former is a material need, and the latter is a spiritual need.

Therefore, His Majesty cannot be suspicious. The money is not required, but the skills are given. Don't worry, he will not be able to get rid of the skills of experts in the next few decades.

You have to take good care of your body and live longer than him. When he dies or retreats, it will be easy for us.

The leader should keep this in mind and praise when it is time to praise. Don't be proud, otherwise it will be the same as the literary genre.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "They all say that we don't want our own people to be like this. Although we are indeed not a person like Gou Jian, we are different from him. He defeated Fu Cha, but he still had to listen to the Zhou Dynasty. We are just a small country.

He has a small mind and a small country. How can we be like him? Uh... Yichang, what do you think of calling Bai Shi back? "

Chief: "..."

He glanced at Hanhan and smiled: "Your Majesty, when the Korean prince was repairing the Zhongdu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not summon him. He has a good relationship with Hu Weiyong. If the operation is not done well, he will become a Wen Zhong."

"He has recovered from his illness. We have been thinking about him all the time!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked like he missed his friend.

Li Shanchang went into hiding. Historically, he was responsible for building Fengyang, the central capital. However, the construction of the central capital was stopped, so he stayed there, where his hometown is.

Zhu Biao didn't look for him when he went there. Why did he look for him?There are many issues involved.

He is not really sick, including Liu Ji and Liu Bowen. Why is he so willing to go home?

Why is the previously shrewd Wang Guangyang suddenly unwilling to do things?Only Hu Weiyong jumped around, and he tricked many people to death. For example, the three people in front all died because of him.
