I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 23 Another intention, I want to plant it myself!
Gu Duan had no intention of saying these words to Zhu Yunxu.

After all, in his opinion, Zhu Yunzhen was still a child, a doll who was only seven years old.

You can talk to Lan Yu about the Bu family.

But after dealing with Zhu Yunxi, Gu Duan immediately understood that this person cannot be treated like a child.

Therefore, I made up my mind and issued a reminder.

His voice was very low, lest others hear him.

"That's enough!" Zhu Yunxuan didn't hesitate, and yelled loudly: "The law of the country is above, how can we allow private affairs? Even if uncle and grandpa come here in person today, I will still catch them!"

"If it's a misunderstanding because of a close relationship, what's the use of legislation?"

"The Spring and Autumn Annals are not respectful, but I insist that the Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"

After saying this, Zhu Yunzhen could clearly feel that the way everyone looked at him changed again.

"This... the lower official knows." Seeing that Zhu Yunxuan was resolute and showed no concern for others, Gu Duan did not dare to say more, and quickly left and left with others.

In a blink of an eye, there were only a crowd of onlookers left on the pier.

Maybe it was because the excitement was over, or maybe it was because they were afraid of Zhu Yunxi. After a while, the people also dispersed.

"Fourth Master, shall we go back to the house?" Ying'er asked cautiously.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and said: "No, I won't go back to the mansion, I will bring sweet potatoes and enter the palace!"

……

When Zhu Yunxi came to the palace, it was still early.

Lao Zhu is reading a book in the study.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi coming, Lao Zhu put down the scroll with a smile: "Yo! Xiaobao Qingtian is here!"

Zhu Yunxi paused slightly, and only then did he realize that Lao Zhu knew everything about today.

Very well informed.

He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa Huang, are you making fun of Xi'er?"

Lao Zhu hurriedly said seriously: "How could it be? You've done a great job today, and it's too late for Grandpa Huang to be happy! Please tell Grandpa Huang how Xiao Bao Qingtian solved the case today."

Zhu Yunxi smiled innocently, and returned to his childish appearance, explaining the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

After listening to the whole incident in detail, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be thoughtful and asked: "Zhen'er, Bu Sibei's family is doing a lot of business, and he belongs to your uncle. Aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked over with interest, as if he wanted to see through Zhu Yunxu.

Sensing Lao Zhu's gaze, Zhu Yunzhen said firmly: "The national law cannot be tarnished, and those who are corrupt and bend the law must be severely punished!"

"This is what my father taught me since I was a child."

"The public is public, the private is private, and the national laws are ruthless. How can we abolish the public because of private interests? Not to mention corrupt officials and those who bully and dominate the market, everyone will punish them!"

Looking at Zhu Yunzhen, who hated evil as much as he hated hatred, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.

He didn't say a word, just looked at Zhu Yunxi in a daze.

It seemed that he saw something.

After being stunned for a long time, Lao Zhu laughed heartily, as if sweeping away all the haze.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Old Zhu Lian said three good things, stretched out his thumb and said, "As expected of our old Zhu's grandson, good!"

Zhu Yunxi knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang hated the most was corrupt officials.

Lao Zhu was born into poverty, and it was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a dark and chaotic era.

Corrupt officials at all levels exploited the people layer by layer, and Zhu Yuanzhang's family also suffered greatly from it.

He had no idea how much he had suffered from corrupt officials since he was a child. Several members of his family also starved to death due to layers of exploitation, famine and other factors.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even have the money to bury them.

Therefore, his hatred of corrupt officials is deep in his bones.

After becoming emperor, he set the most stringent criminal law.

Any official who embezzles more than 60 taels of silver will be executed.

He may not be completely ignorant of the Bu family's affairs, but he has never done anything.

It's not that Lao Zhu has changed.

But this is politics, because the time has not yet come.

Zhu Yunxuan recalled the famous Lanyu case in history. In addition to the fact that Lanyu was skinned and all his families were executed, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than 1 people!
In Zhu Yunxi's view, Sapphire's rebellion was almost certainly false.

That was just Zhu Yuanzhang clearing the way for Zhu Yuanwen to inherit the throne.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang loves the people like a son, he is also decisive and ruthless.

In the past, Zhu Yunxi only understood it as political needs.

Lao Zhu was cruel and killed many people.

Now it seems that is not entirely the case.

Most of the people he killed should really be corrupt officials.

It's not wrongful killing.

Lao Zhu used this name to clean up the officialdom of Ming Dynasty.

It seems that the water is really deep!
History is far from a superficial record of few words.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yunzhen shuddered subconsciously.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked: "By the way, Er, you said just now, you found sweet potatoes?"

Zhu Yunzhen came back to his senses and said: "Grandpa Huang, Zhu Yun'er was just wanting to talk to you about this matter."

Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands, and soon, several guards brought in a box of sweet potatoes.

Lao Zhu stepped forward, picked up a sweet potato and looked at it repeatedly.

"This is sweet potato... I actually found it!"

"Well, I didn't expect it to be so easy," Zhu Yun said.

"Is this thing really that useful?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, squinting his eyes.

"Grandpa Huang didn't know that the yield of this sweet potato is very high," Zhu Yunxuan explained.

"How tall is it?"

According to the ancient figure of 16 taels per catty, Zhu Yunzhen secretly converted it and said: "Just one acre of land can produce at least [-] catties!"

In fact, he was a little unsure about how much one tael weighed at this time, and how much a kilogram was.

There is no standard weighing device for later generations to measure, so it can only be estimated.

However, even if there is a big error, he still has the confidence to say such things.

After all, the output of Gansu in later generations can reach a maximum of 3000 kilograms, which is more than 6000 kilograms.

"What? Two thousand five hundred catties! Is it the least?" Lao Zhu stood up excitedly, his hands had no place to rest.

You know, in the early Ming Dynasty, when converted to 16 taels per catty, the yield per mu was only about [-] catties.

"The yield of sweet potatoes has increased more than ten times?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened, obviously shocked.

But soon, he found himself absent-minded.

"Zhen'er, you are just listening to hearsay. How can you say this with such certainty?"

This?
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment.

He can't say that I have traveled from a later life and knows everything about it, right?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandpa Huang, since you assigned tasks to your grandson, your grandson has been asking about it. It's all from people who came back from overseas."

"They all say this. I guess there is no lie."

"Grandpa Huang, what Li'er said is the truth, and sweet potatoes are rich in nutrients. An adult needs to eat at least one catty of grain a day to be full, but if it is sweet potatoes, it only needs half a catty."

"It's... so..." Lao Zhu looked greedily at the sweet potato in his hand, and his eyes were a little moist.

He looked at it repeatedly, as if looking at his beloved baby.

After a long time, Lao Zhu reluctantly put down the sweet potato and said excitedly: "Xi'er, if this sweet potato is really what you said, my Ming Dynasty will never have so many people starving to death!"

"You are Daming's number one hero!"

"Let's find a human race... no, no... no... no!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head excitedly and said resolutely: "We will plant it ourselves!"
