Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 203 203: Zhu Yuanzhang: The highest state of smoking is to use your eyes

Seeing the car, Zhu Xifeng's spirit came back again!

He walked over in a swaggering manner and clamored for the driver to get out of the car, and he drove it himself!

Zhu Jishen's whole body is not feeling well, and he is a little doubtful about life!

After all...how had he ever seen these ancestors drive?

Even wherever these ancestors want to go, there will be dedicated drivers to help drive!

After all, who is a person of status who doesn’t have a driver by his side?

"Let him drive. My ancestor just wants to try his hand. It'll be fine!"

Zhu Zhiqin saw Zhu Jishen's confusion and reminded him helplessly.

There is no way, these ancestors came from the Hongwu Dynasty, and they are not emperor souls. Isn't it normal to want to try driving?

He saw Zhu Xifeng driving by last night. Although it was a bit hard to explain, fortunately, the original drive of ten minutes finally arrived in an hour!

After hearing what Zhu Zhiqin said, Zhu Jishen didn't have any other opinions, so he quickly asked the driver to get out of the car and gave up the driver's seat.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue couldn't help but look at each other, their faces full of helplessness.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way. Although the speed was a bit slow, the convoy still arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion an hour later.

In fact, it is not the real Prince Qi’s Mansion.

Just imagine, even places like the Forbidden City are already open to tourists, and places of interest like the Prince's Mansion have long since become scenic tourist areas!

Nowadays, the lords live in basically large manor villas. The building area is not very large, there are only a few three-story villas with swimming pools, and the decoration is extremely luxurious!

This is naturally incomparable with the real palace!

Just like Zhu Yue's former Han Dynasty Palace, the area was calculated in terms of acres!

But in today’s society, every inch of land is already at a premium!

In addition, the place is too big and the expenses are high. Now the lords don't have any personal guards or attendants. Prince Qi's Mansion only has paid servants and some professional bodyguards, and the prices are not cheap!

The stall is so big that a lot of people have to be hired just for the security team. How much does that cost, right?

Today's servants and bodyguards are not familiar with the former domestic slaves who signed a contract of sale, and the relationship between private guards and servants!

Everyone is employed on a salary basis!

Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, except Zhu Yue, were all very interested in this seemingly luxurious manor.

"Times have changed now!"

"As long as you have money, you can buy a place like this!"

“Even if you can’t buy it, you can still build it yourself!”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looking at the manor, Zhu Zhiqin said with a smile.

"Yeah, times have changed!"

“Common people can now live in such good houses!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with emotion.

In modern society, there are too many wealthy businessmen. They live in villas and mansions and drive luxury cars. This would have been unthinkable in the Hongwu Dynasty!

After all, among scholars, farmers, and merchants, businessmen are the lowest, and their status and status are even lower than those of farmers!

Even if you are rich, you cannot enjoy many benefits, such as clothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang had previously stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin, only coarse linen and linen!

At least that's how it looks on the surface. Even if you want to wear it, you're wearing it in private. If someone finds it, you'll have to report it to the official!

Of course, these rules have been abolished in the northwest region where Lao Jiu has reformed!

For example, businessmen in the northwest can enjoy the most luxurious life as long as they have money, as long as the regulations do not exceed the official regulations!

It's like if you have money, you can buy a luxury house, live in a big house, and wear better clothes, but the doornails in your home can only be found in an official's mansion. The more doornails, the higher the grade.

The emperor's house has the most doornails, ninety-nine and eighty-one, right?

But for ordinary people, no matter how luxurious your house is, there won't be a single nail on the door, not even a golden door!

This is why ordinary people also call them "Baiting".

Those with Ding are all people with status!

But even so, Lao Jiu's series of reforms have completely changed the appearance of the people in the northwest, especially the lives and status of the merchants. Compared with other areas of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply heaven and earth. difference!

Zhu Yuanzhang was also worried that after the status and benefits of businessmen improved, the common people were thinking about going into business, so who would farm the land?

But then he figured it out!

It can be said that there are so many people in the northwest who want to do business, but the problem is that doing business is not that easy. If you have talent, you must have the right time, place and people, and you can mix it up in the business field!

Otherwise, the better ones can barely make ends meet, and the worse ones may lose everything!

Ordinary people can only run a small business at most, setting up roadside stalls or something like that, but they still have to plant whatever they need to plant on their family fields!

In addition, it is also because the high-yielding crops produced by Laojiu have greatly alleviated the pressure on food. At least there is no longer a shortage of food in the northwest, and there is even more, which can support other areas of the Ming Dynasty!

In this case, there is no problem in releasing excess labor to engage in various industries, or directly doing business!

"Lao Jiu, we plan to wait until we return to the Hongwu Dynasty and move the capital to extend the household registration system you set to the entire Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yue with a smile at this time.

Breaking the inherent class hierarchy and making everyone as equal as possible is the foundation for normal economic development!

Zhu Yuanzhang has also seen this!

Blindly suppressing businessmen is wrong from the beginning.

In other words, if Ming Dynasty was limited to small-scale peasant economy, then it would be right to suppress businessmen.

But if you want to develop a market economy, you must abolish this class division and improve the status of businessmen!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand this originally, but who gave him the auspiciousness of the country's fortune!

Even if he doesn't understand, he can still spend his fortune to ask!

Anyway, he knew that reforming the household registration policy was the key step for Ming Dynasty to develop next, and it was also the most difficult step!

As long as this step can be taken well, other reforms can go more smoothly!

It can also be said that other reforms are also based on the success of household registration reform!

The northwest under Lao Jiu's governance is the best example!

"Take your time, you can start with the feudal king's fiefdom, and then spread it to the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yue also deeply agreed with this. He was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew what was happening but didn't know why.

The basis of reform is people!

Household registration reform is the most important part. As long as this part is solved, other reforms will be easy to talk about!

However, the household registration reform will also harm the interests of the gentry. With the implementation of policies such as the government and gentry paying grain and sharing the land, most of the gentry class will inevitably be resisted, and everyone in the court will definitely be opposed!

It is the general trend to start with the fiefdoms of the feudal kings. After successfully reforming all the fiefdoms of the feudal kings, then implement it to the entire Ming Dynasty.

This process won’t take long!

"Does Patriarch Hongwu plan to change the system and carry out reforms based on the experience and patterns of later generations after he returns?"

After listening to the conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li, Zhu Zhiqin's eyes also lit up.

"That's right, although we can't change the original history of this time and space, we can still go back and change the Hongwu Dynasty!"

"This is also the meaning of us traveling through time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said matter-of-factly.

"Ancestor Hongwu is righteous!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhiqin had a look of admiration on his face.

You know, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a series of policies were formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

Being able to personally overturn the policies you made is equivalent to slapping yourself in the face and saying that your previous decisions were wrong!

Not many emperors can do this kind of behavior!

For emperors, what they value is the power in their hands, and what they want to consolidate is the absolute rule of imperial power. Who would overturn what they have said?

Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to do this was indeed beyond Zhu Zhiqin's expectations.

But this seems to be a reasonable thing.

He also knew that Patriarch Hongwu planned to pass the throne directly to Patriarch Chengwu, which would save Ming Dynasty from many detours!

This courage alone also exceeded Zhu Zhiqin's expectations!

Compared with letting Han Wang Zhu Li directly become the emperor, overturning his own policies is nothing. In other words, if he wants to let Han Wang Zhu Li become emperor, overturning his own policies is inevitable!

After all, the rules for establishing heirs and elders were also formulated by Emperor Hongwu!

On the other side, Zhu Xifeng was asking Zhu Xifeng enthusiastically about some things about Japan.

After all, he is still just a child, and he is quite playful.

Moreover, his focus is still on information about Japan's special industries.

Zhu Xiafeng was also generous with his teachings and described many phenomena in special industries, which was eye-opening to Zhu Xiafeng.

"After returning to the Hongwu Dynasty, it seems that it is necessary to reform the brothel!"

Zhu Xifeng touched his chin and muttered seriously.

"Brother's idea is brilliant! I think it's okay too!"

Zhu Xiaqiang gave Zhu Xiafeng a thumbs up!

When Zhu Xiaye on the side heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously!

Of these two brothers, one really dares to teach and the other dares to learn?

Aren't you afraid of being beaten by your father?

"Third brother, do you know what interesting places there are in Japan?"

"If I have the opportunity, I can take my brother to expand his horizons!"

Zhu Xifeng asked with excitement on his face.

"There are a lot of fun places, but..."

When Zhu Xiaqiang said this, he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and others who were still chatting not far away.

Certain special occasions are indeed very exciting for men, but not everyone can accept it. He is afraid that if he really takes Zhu Xifeng to that kind of place, he will get beaten!

"Oh...just let me learn some experience and techniques in advance, right?"

"Didn't you say that you want to go back to the Hongwu Dynasty to reform?"

Zhu Xiafeng took out his cigarettes and took one for himself. He also gave one to brothers Zhu Xiafeng and Zhu Xiye.

Zhu Xiye had a cigarette in his mouth, but the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously!

Is this the rhythm of preparing to carry out the brothel reform to the end?

Is this boss afraid that he will be directly misled by the third child?

"Okay, I'll ask Grandpa Huang and them later what they mean. We can't just go there, right?"

Zhu Xiaqian thought for a while, and finally nodded, deciding to find an opportunity to test Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude!

The main reason is that it is rare to get out, and he also wants to relax!

"now it's right!"

"Grandpa Huang and the others must also want to go. Didn't they all go to the nightclub together last night?"

But Zhu Xia Feng didn't know that the places Zhu Xia Feng mentioned were much more exciting than the so-called nightclubs, yet he was still swearing by them here!

Zhu Xieye looked at the two brothers in front of him, and then walked away silently, so as not to involve him when the two of them were beaten into pig heads by their father later!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue also came over.

Seeing the three brothers puffing away, they immediately took a cigarette from Zhu Xifeng and started smoking!

"Can Emperor Soul also smoke?"

Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a puff of smoke, and then he realized what was going on. He looked at Zhu Xiayan and Zhu Xiaye with some surprise and asked.

"That's just a lesson!"

"Although it can't extract the smell, this technique is much better than ordinary people!"

As Zhu Xiaqiang spoke, he took a deep breath and demonstrated his skills to Zhu Yuanzhang on the spot. Then he saw the smoke he inhaled come out directly from his ears!

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately happy when he saw this.

I didn’t expect this kid to be able to do this?

"That's not okay either. To reach the highest level of smoking, shouldn't you use your eyes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that he had seen a video before, in which someone was puffing out smoke with his eyes. He was shocked at that time and was amazed!

"With your eyes?"

Zhu Xiayan and Zhu Xiaye were both stunned, and even Zhu Xiafeng was stunned!

They all couldn't figure out how to smoke with their eyes?

Zhu Yue and Zhu Zhiqin looked at each other, both of them dumbfounded.

It was just a prank clip in a short video. I didn’t expect the old man to say it in such a serious way, but it really made me feel inexplicably happy!

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang only talked about it and did not actually do it!

After all, he can’t do it!

On the contrary, Zhu Xifeng tried for a long time but failed!

The smoke inhaled can only be sprayed out from the nose, not even the ears!

After all, he is not an Emperor Soul, but as a normal person, who can achieve this level?

"By the way, Grandpa Huang, the third child said that he knows a lot of interesting places in Japan. Can we ask him to take us to see them later?"

After studying for a long time, Zhu Xifeng didn't understand how to smoke with his eyes, so he simply gave up and directly bypassed the topic of smoking and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"interesting place?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became interested and turned his eyes directly to Zhu Xiaqiang.

(Dividing line!)

ps: 嘤嘤嘤! ! ! Brother, can you give me a recommendation ticket?
