Chapter 354: Meat Eaters Contempt
Hunjun or Mingjun, this posthumous name will only be given a relatively fair interpretation by historians after the dynasty is overthrown, and then it was changed beyond recognition by the king at that time according to the needs.
Therefore, the only person who can really make a correct interpretation of the emperor's mind is actually himself.
Either stupid and incompetent, or shrewd and capable.With rare exceptions, a meritocratic education rarely yields a fool.There are those who are really confused, but in fact most of them are just pretending to be confused.
Zhu Yunwen grew up in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor through the ages. Is he an idiot?
The answer is of course no, on the contrary, he is very smart.
Cowardly, less broken, emphatic.
For a king, this is his human weakness, but it cannot represent his resourcefulness.
The monarchy has shown signs of falling aside, and it is in the hands of eunuchs.
People's hearts are fickle.I don't know when, what kind of scene, this idea appeared in his head so suddenly, and he couldn't get rid of it.
"Ruyi won't hurt me or harm me." Whenever this idea has the desire to grow, Zhu Yunqi will always say this to himself.But there is always another voice telling him that this is actually not appropriate.
Such a situation would make him lose his absolute control over the world, but he was too lazy to change.
Yep, just lazy.
People at this time still can't understand the existence of inertia, but seeking stability and security is the definition of life and the instinct of most people for life.So there is an allusion that the homeland is hard to leave.
Stretch out your hand when you come for clothes, open your mouth when you come for food, the beautiful woman is in your arms, and the officials bow their heads.
The responsibility of the king is to benefit the people of the world. His grandpa made the choice to do everything by himself, holding the ink pen firmly in his right hand, and holding the knife in his left hand. He will not let anyone who makes him feel uncomfortable even if it is just a look. He waved the knife hesitantly.
However, Zhu Yunqi found that if he wanted the people in the world to be rich, all he did seemed to be to let go.Whether it is the right hand holding the vermilion pen or the left hand holding the knife.As long as you let go, the world will go in the direction it should go.
Then what do you want me, the emperor, to do?
This question gradually became the deepest doubt in Zhu Yunqi's heart.He didn't talk to anyone, because he didn't know who to talk to, and he didn't know how to say it.
It seems to be fine if it goes on like this.
The days of summer are long, today Zhu Yunwen walked out of the palace gate in white clothes again, and led Liu Xi towards the teahouse.
Vendors hawk along the street, and strange accents from all walks of life in the north and south can be heard endlessly.It is full of beautiful things, and there is still a smell of sauce in the nose. Looking sideways, the mutton stewed in the big iron pot by the street is bubbling. The sauce is enough, and the fragrance is naturally strong. people.
It was just a look, and Liu Xi knew what he meant.Going forward to separate the crowd, handing over the money, and bringing back a big piece of fragrant meat: "My lord, please taste it. The servant has tested it, it's all right, but it's a bit hot."
Zhu Yunxuan picked up the wooden fork from the evening and put a small piece into his mouth. It was delicious and delicious: "It tastes good, but it's a bit salty. It's good for dinner."
Liu Xi replied in a low voice: "Maybe the price of salt has dropped a little recently, and this meat seller also cooks meat."
"Why did the price of salt drop again? The court's salt tax..."
"It has risen. The spring and summer salt tax silver has increased by 50 taels compared with last year." Liu Xi smiled and said: "I don't know something, the world's salt tax is divided into two lines, the imperial salt tax is six, and the private salt dealers The fourth one. Among the private salt money, the salt merchants in Yangzhou eat the most, accounting for [-]% of it."
After a pause, Liu Xi continued: "Grandpa Xu posted a post to the salt merchants in Yangzhou, telling them not to look too ugly. No, he let out the interest money and paid half of the tax more than last year."
Liu Xi and Xu Ruyi never concealed such rules from Zhu Yunqi that could not be declared in court but known to everyone.Zhu Yuanzhang has no tolerance for such things, but Zhu Yunqi is different.After walking around the market a few times and meeting Niu Er once or twice, Zhu Yunqi has his own understanding of this dark rule, and it can be summed up like the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish.
"50 taels for half a job? These profiteers in Yangzhou." Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.He bent down and put the meat in his hand in front of a little beggar who didn't know how to speak and could only kowtow on the side of the road. He started to walk, but after thinking about it, he stopped again: "Eat it, don't keep it, don't be robbed." gone."
In fact, Zhu Yunwen said that the little beggar started gobbling it up after kowtowing, and he didn't think it was too hot. If it wasn't for the hard bowl, he might even eat the bowl.
The little beggar finished eating the meat, put down the bowl, looked at Zhu Yunwen gratefully, and kowtowed three more times.
It seems that he really can't speak.Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "By the way, where is Ruyi? Why haven't I seen him after walking so far? Have you already arranged for him at the teahouse?"
On weekdays, when Zhu Yunwen went out of the palace, apart from Liu Xi who stayed close to him, Xu Ruyi would also come out together if he was in the palace.If he was not in the palace, the spies from Dongchang would come and go, and he would often meet him halfway when he got the news.
It took a long time to walk around this street today, Xu Ruyi hadn't come yet, Zhu Yunqi couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Hmm..." Liu Xi scratched his head, still at a loss: "Maybe there is something important that has delayed it."
"Oh." Zhu Yunwen nodded, and Liu Xi walked towards the teahouse again.
Something important to delay?He is busier than me.
A good friend worked hard for his own country, Zhu Yunqi felt that he should be happy and relieved, but it was hard to tell what he really felt in his heart.Are you worried?It seems to be, but what he is worried about, he himself does not quite understand.
The time was just right, and the teahouse was full of seats.Several tea waiters shuttled around with copper pots with long mouths, and the skins and cores of melons and fruits were scattered all over the place.Seeing the big customer coming, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up.While instructing the clerk to prepare the same old routine, he nodded and bowed to meet him, and went upstairs to the private room hiding Zhu Yunwen: "My lord, I will only keep that little man for you alone, and I will never give you as much money as you want." Don’t let me in, don’t worry, it’s clean.”
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhu Yunwen nodded, returning a kind smile, and Liu Xi took out a silver coin from his bosom and handed it over.
"Thank you, Grandpa, for the reward!"
Looking around at the fence of the private room, Kuai Zui Yu was sitting at a square table beside the stage, holding a teacup in his hand, dazed in a daze.But she didn't see Chu Chu's figure.
"I don't know what this quick-mouthed fish will say today." Liu Xi closed the door, and walked behind Zhu Yunqi: "Your Majesty, would you like to order something?"
"Farewell." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "It's better to have a new book, but I don't know if there is any new story for this quick-mouthed fish."
Xu Shi felt Zhu Yunqi's gaze, and Kuaizuyu suddenly raised his head.The moment their eyes met, Zhu Yunwen smiled, but the teacup in Kuai Zuiyu's hand fell to the ground and broke into several petals.
