Chapter 23 Another layer of 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 Yunxuan is still a child, a doll who is only seven years old.
You can talk to Lan Yu about the Bu family.
But after dealing with Zhu Yunzhen, Gu Duan immediately understood that this person should not be treated like a child.
Therefore, I made up my mind and gave a reminder.
His voice was very low, lest others hear him.
"That's enough!" Zhu Yunzhen didn't hesitate and yelled loudly: "The national law is supreme, how can we tolerate personal affairs? Even if my uncle comes in person today, I will still catch him!"
"If it is called a misunderstanding because of kinship, then what is the use of legislation?"
"The words and laws of the Spring and Autumn Period are not respected, but I say that the emperor breaks the law and is guilty of 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 the blink of an eye, there were only a crowd of people watching on the pier.
Perhaps because they had finished watching the fun, or perhaps because they were afraid of Zhu Yunzhen, the people dispersed after a while.
"Fourth Master, shall we go back to the house?" Ying'er asked cautiously.
Zhu Yunxuan thought for a moment and said: "No, don't go back home, take the sweet potatoes and enter the palace!"
……
When Zhu Yunxuan came to the palace, it was still early.
Lao Zhu is reading in the study.
Seeing Zhu Yunxuan coming, Lao Zhu put down the scroll with a smile: "Hey! Xiaobao Qingtian is here!"
Zhu Yunxuan paused for a moment, and then realized that Old Zhu knew everything about today's events.
Very well informed.
He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa Huang, are you making fun of Fu'er?"
Lao Zhu quickly said sternly: "How could it be possible? You've done a great job today, and it's too late for Grandpa Huang to be happy! Tell Grandpa Huang quickly how Xiao Bao Qingtian solved the case today."
Zhu Yunzhen smiled innocently, returned to his childlike appearance, and explained the whole story 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 Yunxian 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, the national law is ruthless, how can the public be abolished for private purposes? Not to mention the corrupt officials and those who bully the market, everyone will punish them!"
Looking at Zhu Yunzhen who hated evil as much as he hated his enemies, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.
He didn't say a word, just looked at Zhu Yunxuan blankly.
It seems that he saw something.
After being stunned for a long time, Lao Zhu laughed heartily, as if all the gloom had been swept away.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Lao Zhu said three good words in succession, stretched out his thumb and said: "As expected of our Lao Zhu's grandson, good!"
Zhu Yunxuan knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang hated 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, and Zhu Yuanzhang's family also suffered greatly.
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 money to bury them.
Therefore, his hatred for corrupt officials is deep in his bones.
After becoming the emperor, he established the most stringent criminal laws.
Any official who embezzles more than sixty taels of silver will be put to death.
He may not be completely unaware of the Bu family's affairs, but he has never taken action.
It’s not that Lao Zhu has changed.
But this is politics, because the time has not yet come.
Zhu Yunxuan thought of the famous blue jade case in history. In addition to the skinning of the blue jade and the execution of everyone in the family, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than 10,000 people!
In Zhu Yunxuan's opinion, Lan Yu's rebellion is almost certainly fake.
That was just Zhu Yuanzhang clearing the way for Zhu Yuanwen to inherit the throne.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang loved his people as a son, he was also decisive and cruel.
In the past, Zhu Yunxuan only understood it as political needs.
Lao Zhu was cruel and killed many people.
Now it seems that this is not entirely the case.
Most of the people he killed should really be corrupt officials.
It was not an unjust killing.
Lao Zhu used this name to clean up the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that the water is really deep!
History is far from a record in a few words on the surface.
Thinking about it, Zhu Yunzhen shuddered subconsciously.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to suddenly remember something and asked: "By the way, Xi'er, just now you said you found sweet potatoes?"
Zhu Yunwen came back to his senses and said: "Grandpa Huang, Meng'er was just trying to tell you about this matter."
Zhu Yunxu 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 sweet potatoes is very high," Zhu Yunxuan explained.
"How high is it?"
According to the ancient figure of sixteen taels per catty, Zhu Yunzhen secretly converted it and said: "Just one acre of land can produce at least 2,500 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 of later generations to measure, so we can only estimate.
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 3,000 kilograms, which is more than 6,000 kilograms.
"What? Two thousand five hundred kilograms! Or the least?" Lao Zhu stood up excitedly, and his hands had nowhere to put them.
You know, in the early Ming Dynasty, the yield per mu was only about 200 jins per catty.
"The yield of sweet potatoes has increased more than ten times?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened, obviously shocked.
But soon, he realized that he was absent-minded.
"Hey, 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 came from the future and know everything about it, right?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yunwen said: "Grandpa Huang, after you assigned the task to your grandson, your grandson went to inquire about it. This was all said by people who came back from overseas."
"They all say this. I guess there is no lie."
"Grandpa Huang, what you are telling the truth is, and sweet potatoes are rich in nutrients. An adult needs to eat at least one kilogram of grain a day to be full, but for sweet potatoes, only half a kilogram is enough."
"Surprisingly... so..." Lao Zhu looked at the sweet potato in his hand greedily, and his eyes were actually 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 the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Let's find a human race... no, no... no... no!"
