Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 30 People!

Buy groceries!

Buy some shit?

Suddenly, when they struggled to answer, they were ready to listen to the answer.

I actually heard these two words.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of the answer Su Guiyuan once gave him.

He only felt that the other party was doing this on purpose?
  "He also said he likes to tell the truth? Is he deliberately teasing our eldest grandson?"

"Is he made of clay by our grandpa Huang?"

See Zhu Yuanzhang's irritable look.

Zhu Biao and Queen Ma were also a little confused.

just.

When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang about to stand up, he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and wanted to make trouble for others.

Queen Ma quickly pulled him away.

"what are you doing?"

"Children are childish, but I have no intention of making fun of your eldest grandson. Can't you just keep listening? Why are you standing up? I'm afraid that others won't see that you, the Ming Emperor, have been sitting under your eldest grandson's butt?"

Hear the words.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang come back to his senses from his anger.

The truth is this.

It was unreasonable for Su Xian to suddenly deceive Dasun at this time.

really.

Zhu Xiongying was actually completely unaware of this matter.

When he heard the word "buy groceries", he didn't become angry.

Instead, he showed a puzzled look.

"Why do you say it's grocery shopping?"

In fact, to put it bluntly, he didn't even know the ins and outs of the Kongyin case.

The reason why today is like this.

From the perspective of his little three-year-old mind.

The emperor's grandfather, the emperor's grandmother, and his father were all accompanying him, playing with the slightly older child under the city wall.

Of course he liked it.

He just doesn't have a mother... He feels a little regretful.

However, the imperial doctor said that during this period, my mother seems to be having a little brother and sister? Although the news is uncertain.

But no matter what, mothers should pay more attention to their health.

I have no choice but to play with the imperial grandfathers...

This opportunity didn't exist before.

Although he has been in the palace since he was a child, he is said to have been favored in every way.

But Grandpa Huang and his father have also been busy with state affairs.

The entire palace city was lonely and lonely.

Even if he is the same age as him, he still has to call them uncle.

But he didn't understand.

Isn't it kind to call you uncle? Aren't they the sons of Grandpa Huang?
  Although the seniority is different.

But if you are as old as you, you don't care about seniority at all, as long as you can play together.

But why are they still so...so alienated from me?
  After meeting each other, all the rules mentioned by the husband must be followed strictly.

Even the younger brother in the East Palace is like this.

But didn’t Grandpa Huang say that they don’t need to follow the rules?

Zhu Xiongying couldn't figure it out.

His childhood life in Miyagi, although he was pampered, was actually unhappy.

Because adults' favor only lasts for a while.

Grandpa Huang, father and others would not play with him for a long time.

But today!
  Right now……

Zhu Xiongying's small face looked at Grandpa Huang, his father and his grandmother below, which made him feel very happy.

And looking at Su Xian under the city wall.

The happier he felt.

I wish time would pass as slowly as possible.

As for what was said, he could actually understand it if he listened carefully, but if it was more profound, he wouldn't understand it.

But Su Xian didn't know Zhu Xiongying's psychological changes at this time.

He repeated: "Just buying groceries."

"Let me test you with a question."

Su Xian felt that at least the other party really did him a big favor.

You help me, I'll help you.

No matter what happens, Zhu Xiongying must be heard clearly.

"Say." Zhu Xiongying blinked, his pupils full of curiosity.

"For example, the two of us went out to buy groceries today at the urging of adults."

"The price of vegetables is different every day because of the different seasons."

Su Xian talked.

Suddenly he made a big circle gesture and said, "It's just such a big bundle of cabbage, and it only costs one copper plate today."

"Tomorrow's bundle of cabbage will be worth two copper coins."

"But when buying vegetables, you don't just need to buy cabbage, you also need to buy meat, eggs, vegetables, etc., etc...."

"Do you need to buy so many vegetables for dinner?" Zhu Xiongying's thoughts did not seem to be focused on Su Xian's metaphor.

"Well, usually you don't need it, but you always need it during the holidays, and you have to make it yourself." Su Xian said.

"Ah? Isn't it enough to just eat it when everyone else has already done it? Why do you still have to buy and cook it? Where can I buy it? Is it fun?" The topic was about to fly away.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes could not help but flash a hint of helplessness.

Da Sun is also true.

But leave it to him. He seems to have a lot of patience for Zhu Xiongying.

Su Xian, on the other hand, took the trouble to explain all the most common sense.

"That's great, I want to learn to cook too."

"Let's wait until you grow up." Su Xian said casually: "Otherwise, you would be so young that you wouldn't even be able to reach the pot and table. In fact, I wouldn't be able to reach it either. I usually make trouble."

"Hehe..." Zhu Xiongying smiled again.

"Will this kid tell me or not?"

Zhu Yuanzhang doted on his grandson, but Su Xian also went astray.

Also bala bala a lot.

Who has time to listen to you two little kids mumbling?

What triviality?
  Are you kidding me here?
  And just when the thoughts in his mind kept coming and going, he even couldn't help but ask.

Su Xian seemed to have remembered the business and quickly returned to the topic.

And this is the next sentence.

But Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly cheered up!

"The adults gave us so much money, so we have to buy so many vegetables."

"How to ensure that adults believe that today's vegetables are worth every penny. Instead of us putting the money to buy vegetables in our own pockets, or buying candied haws on a stick or something?"

Zhu Xiongying was lying on the city wall, with his belly held by Zhu Biao, which felt safe and sound.

He thought it was nothing.

But Zhu Biao cheered up almost immediately.

Queen Ma couldn't help but prick up her ears.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious that he didn't even sit down and just stuck to the city wall.

These words may seem like buying groceries, but they have a profound meaning.

"I don't know." Zhu Xiongying shook his head.

"Stupid!" Su Xian's voice continued to sound.

"It's very simple. How much do you buy? At the worst, we can ask those who sell vegetables to us to write a word, or bundle these vegetables and write the price on them. Wouldn't that be enough?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded confusedly at first.

Then his eyes lit up, "Yes, this really makes it clear."

"But the vegetable seller has to serve so many people, will they agree?"

Su Xian smiled and said, "Let's take shopping for groceries as an example."

……

"Father...Father?" At this moment, Zhu Biao didn't know what he thought of. His eyes lit up and he suddenly turned his head.

"This, this dish should be tax food, right?"

"My family asked them to buy vegetables. Doesn't that mean...the imperial court asked local officials to collect taxes and grains?"

He pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang.

It seemed that he had already responded, and he felt that he had suddenly grasped something important.

The family is all smart people.

Of course I knew that Su Xian had something to say.

But Zhu Yuanzhang pondered while shaking his head and said: "No, no, it's too crude. Keep listening..."

……

At this time, Zhu Xiongying also understood and nodded.

Then, he patted his head and said, "But what my grandpa Huang asked me to ask was not about this, but about this case..."

"The same goes for the empty seal case."

This time, Su Xian was not talking to Zhu Xiongying, but to the people behind him.

His voice was solemn and even more serious.

"The entire empty seal case has history from top to bottom, and even upwards..."

"Never once have we asked the people for their opinions when collecting taxes and grain."

"Today I'm talking about buying groceries."

"You're just looking at the big from the small!"

"If you understand the little ones, the big ones will naturally understand."

"Vegetable farmers are the people, and the people are the vegetable farmers. When you and I go shopping for vegetables, aren't we going to collect taxes and grains under the orders of the court?"

"But the way the imperial court collects taxes and grains from top to bottom has always been to trust the government, trust the government's supervisors, and trust the inspectors in various places!"

"But I never thought about trusting the people!"

"We will pay the vegetable farmers as much as they sell the vegetables. In fact, the farmers are happy to do this. They clearly mark the prices, which means they are fair and square!"

"The same is true for the empty seal case. The local government was afraid of having to travel back and forth too much and taking responsibility, so it proposed to stamp the official seal. But aside from other purposes, your grandpa also believed that the empty seal case itself contained corruption. An act of shielding and embezzling taxes and grain."

"Have you? Of course!"

"Kill or not? Definitely!"

"But the aftermath has become a problem."

"But it's actually very simple, since both parties are suspicious of each other."

"Then it would be better to involve a third party."

"This third party is the one who works hard day and night to cultivate the land and provide the most basic food for the Ming Dynasty, which is also a matter of life and death. He is the vegetable farmer you and I just mentioned!"

"They are also common people in the world!"

　Let’s talk about the update. The current update is one page at 12:00 noon and one chapter at 6:00 pm.

　　But with this chapter unfolding, I found that everyone had to wait.

　　Another way is to set a time period and send them together.

　　I'd like to ask everyone's opinion, which one is better?
