Chapter 52 Corrupt officials are just small matters

The palace is lively and the outside is similar.

Su Jing had already arrived at the Su family's exhibition at this time.

"Shi Su, this is my cousin Yu Yun. I came here to buy silk and happened to meet him."

Zhu Biao introduced to Su Jing.

In order not to reveal his identity, he made up a new name.

Xu Miaoyun bowed slightly to Su Jing and said, "I have met Mr. Su."

When Xu Miaoyun learned that the person in front of him was the teacher who had taught the prince Zhu Biao recently, he was also quite respectful.

Su Jing nodded slightly. Although Xu Miaoyun is young, she is obviously from a wealthy family, so it is definitely not easy.

However, Su Jing didn't ask much, just said, "Niu Yi, come with me to dig sweet potatoes."

It has been almost three months since I just planted the sweet potatoes.

Finally, the harvest season is coming.

"Okay, Master Su."

Zhu Biao kept up with Su Jing very naturally.

This surprised Xu Miaoyun on the side.

She had heard of Su Jing's reputation when she was at home.

A famous teacher who teaches the prince!

She was also looking forward to it, but now she felt a little upset.

First, I saw the prince as a clerk in this cloth business, and then I was pulled together to do farm work.

this.

How come you look like a teacher?

"Sister Yu Yun, come together too. Anyway, it's okay, come and have a look."

Zhu Biao said to Xu Miaoyun.

He also made good for Xu Miaoyun. If Xu Miaoyun didn't follow him, he would probably be monitored by Gongweilang.

Beside you, at least be free.

"OK."

Xu Miaoyun nodded and set out with Zhu Biao.

As for the servants and servants around her, they were temporarily left in the city.

Fields.

Su Jing and Zhu Biao were both quite skilled. They fell down the hoe and dug out the soil to reveal the sweet potatoes below.

"Look, this is sweet potato, what I told you before, something higher than potato yields."

Su Jing picked up a big sweet potato, ran directly to the ditch to clean it, and then cut it with a knife she carried with him.

“Try it, it tastes good.”

Su Jing smiled and handed it to Zhu Biao, then said to Xu Miaoyun not far away: "Yu Yun, you can try it too."

"Thank you, Master Su."

"Thank you, Mr. Su."

Zhu Biao and Xu Miaoyun took the sweet potato and took a bite.

tasty!

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

This sweet potato, which is not very beautiful, tastes so sweet!

"How is it, it's good."

Su Jing looked at the expressions of the two and said very proudly.

Sweet potatoes, that's more than potatoes can do.

The two finished their meals quickly, and Zhu Biao was better because he had received the impact of potatoes.

Xu Miaoyun began to ask about sweet potatoes.

Su Jingzheng was happy and answered in great detail.

"So that's it. Sweet potatoes have so many uses. Mr. Su is really amazing."

Xu Miaoyun listened to Su Jing's introduction and thought that sweet potato was really a treasure.

Eat, make wine, make sugar, and make sweet potato flour.

When Xu Miaoyun finished asking, Zhu Biao also began to ask.

However, unlike Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Biao's focus is mainly on the problems of planting methods, planting time, planting difficulty and yield.

Since he learned about the conflict between people and land, Zhu Biao has been thinking about solutions.

Potatoes gave him hope, and the current sweet potatoes greatly enhanced his confidence.

Increased grain production means that the population that can be raised will also increase greatly.

The time that the Ming Dynasty can last seems to have been longer!

"There is a blessing for the people when there is Master Su in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao bowed to Su Jing and said sincerely.

Su Jing waved his hand and said, "These empty words are boring. It is not something I can influence whether the people are blessed or not. Don't put a high hat on me."

Zhu Biao said seriously: "Master Su, with this sweet potato, my people in the Ming Dynasty will have more food. If they encounter famine, sweet potatoes will be life-saving things!"

"How can Master Su say that such a great kindness has no effect?"

High yield per mu, plus easy planting.

I have to say that sweet potatoes are actually quite excellent, although eating too much will cause acid reflux and discomfort.

But when it is really time to starve to death, who will care so much?

Xu Miaoyun, who was standing beside him, also echoed: "Mr. Su, Brother Niu is saying, you are too modest."

Su Jing looked at the two people in front of him. Zhu Biao looked a little adult, while Xu Miaoyun was a little girl.

That is, children from wealthy families can only come out to buy silk, and they can only be used as laborers.

"Whether the people's food is enough to eat is related to the grain output, but it doesn't have that much to do with it."

Su Jing said lightly.

Now it was Zhu Biao and Xu Miaoyun's turn to be confused.

"Master Su, what do you mean? With the increase in grain output, why do people still have insufficient food to eat?"

Zhu Biao asked in confusion.

Su Jing said calmly: "It's a very simple truth, because the people only produce grain but do not have the right to distribute grain."

The power to distribute food.

Zhu Biao immediately understood that farmers' grains must be paid.

The food that was paid for taxes was distributed by the court.

"Master Su, this is a bad statement. Nowadays, the grain tax in the Ming Dynasty is very small. After the farmers paid the tax, the remaining grain can be distributed freely."

Zhu Biao retorted.

When Zhu Yuanzhang assigned the grain tax, Zhu Biao was also watching.

The food tax in the Ming Dynasty, at least for now, is very low.

Su Jing said lightly: "Then, when it comes to the next emperor, what about the next emperor? There can be no one emperor."

This direct remark shocked Xu Miaoyun, who was listening.

Is this Mr. Su so direct?

But here, it wasn't her turn to question what she wanted.

Zhu Biao said seriously: "If today I am appointing people based on their merits and sympathizing with the hardships of the people, I believe that the heirs he trained will be the same as him, mourning the hardships of people's livelihood."

Although this is praising himself, what Zhu Biao said was to convince Xu Miaoyun, who knew his identity.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very high prestige in the entire court.
