Seeing that he was about to reach the cafeteria, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smelled the strong aroma of food: "What is this made, it smells so good!"

Elder Wang glared at him, didn't say anything, and went in to line up on his own. The old man has a special line, so he doesn't have to line up with other people.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen entered the cafeteria, their eyes suddenly lit up. It was almost dark at this time, but the cafeteria in front of them was as bright as day.

There are about a dozen windows in the cafeteria, and there are people lining up in front of each window to get food. There are many people in the village, but it is not chaotic. Each person has a tray. After eating, he goes to get soup, and then sits on the long row of tables. There are banners on the walls saying waste is shameful.

Liu Bowen looked into the rice bowl of the person at the next table, and saw a full portion of rice, without any mixed grains, the dish was even more meaty and vegetarian, there was a big chicken leg, and there was a lot of rice in the soup Eggs and greens.

"Fellow townsman, may I ask what festival is today, and your proprietor actually provides such a good meal?"

The man who was asked was stunned for a moment, and said with a simple smile: "Today is not a holiday, we eat this kind of food every day."

"This..." Liu Bowen was dumbfounded. Even a person like him who treats his servants kindly would not dare to say that his servants can eat meat every day, let alone the tenants on his fief.As far as he knew, it would be good for the tenants to have miscellaneous grains to eat on weekdays. Only during New Years and festivals would they cook two dishes and eat rice noodles once.

"Damn, don't pay attention to them, these two people say that our young master is not in the right mind!" The person in line next to him reminded.

The person called Erdan immediately changed his face, and when the other people in the cafeteria heard it, they all stopped and looked at the two of them in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a chill in his heart, this is a hornet's nest!I can't help but complain that Liu Bowen is too talkative, which makes people hate him now.

A person who can't even speak is considered a wise man?
"Don't do anything, what did our young master say?" Mr. Wang came over with a plate at this time: "Yes... we want to be civilized, and we can't use violence to solve the problem!"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Wang put the plate heavily on the table, but the strength was just right, and no food shook out of the plate.

"Let's see, you two said, is this kind of food expensive for a tael of silver a year?" Mr. Wang said he wanted to be civilized, but he was obviously very angry. He stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with burning words: "And we These 50-year-olds and above also have children under 16 years old, and the young proprietors don’t charge money!”

hiss!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen took a breath at the same time. In this era when food is the most important thing for the people, to provide such generous benefits to the villagers, Zhu Tao's actions have already made them unable to understand.

"That's right, and the young master brought the people in our village to... yes, farming, and what kind of melons are grown, which one is still short of a tael of money? The master is clearly taking care of us!"

"Forget it, you are foreigners who don't understand, so don't care about it like you! Everyone, let's cook!" Wang Lao commanded the crowd to restore order, and then said to the two: "You guys also go to cook, we have food in the third canteen. It is stipulated that passing customers can eat a meal for free, and then pay if they eat for a long time.”

Liu Bowen was puzzled immediately: "Old man, this rule is clearly to use your money to do good, so you are also happy?"

In his opinion, the food in the cafeteria was bought by the villagers. How could he give it to outsiders for nothing just because of Zhu Tao's words, so that he spent the villagers' money to gain a good name for himself?
"Why don't you know good and bad?" Elder Wang was completely anxious: "You can eat meat for a tael of silver? This is because the young master doesn't want us to feel that we are eating for nothing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought it was bad, he wanted to have a meal at first, but if he didn't hurry away now, he might be beaten.At that time, it will not be a good thing for himself or the village.

"Master, why are you here?"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to escape with Liu Bowen, the troublemaker, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Old Tang?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked in surprise, and it was Zhu Tao's housekeeper: "You came just in time! The accountant we brought had a misunderstanding with the villagers."

Old Tang hurried up to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said to the bewildered villagers, "This is the father of our young master, how dare you be rude?"

"It turned out to be the father of Shaodong's family, no wonder he is so picky."

"Father of the Young Master's family, please forgive me for being rude!"

The villagers made a noise and greeted Zhu Yuanzhang one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang only thought it was funny in his heart, the father of the young master, shouldn't you call him master?
It seems that these people recognize Zhu Tao more than themselves!
That's right, let's not mention that I am pretending to be a fake. The one who brought these villagers to beg for life and gave them welfare is Zhu Tao. Lord.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little proud. It was not easy for his son to win the heart of the whole village even though he was still young.

Even if it's just a recognized son, let him be honored.

Coming out of the cafeteria, Old Tang led the way and brought the two of them back to Zhu Tao's house. He also sent someone to inform the groom to eat in the cafeteria.

"Father, why did you come back at night?" Zhu Tao came out to greet him and asked curiously.

"There's not much business in the past few days, so I'll come and see you," Zhu Yuanzhang said.

As soon as the cabinet tenure system came out, the court passed in the open, but there was a turbulent undercurrent in the dark. If Zhu Yuanzhang personally participated, the court would be bloody, so he might as well go out and hide for two days, and let those civil servants think about how to stand in line for the next two days, etc. Go back and finalize Song Lian as the first assistant, and you can make a final decision, and no other voices will be tolerated.

"Who is this gentleman?" Zhu Tao looked at Liu Bowen, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.

Although Liu Bowen didn't wear court clothes, his temperament couldn't be concealed. There was a kind of nobility in his bones, which reminded Zhu Tao of some talented old professors in later generations.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang, who started in the grass, played the role of a merchant without any flaws.

"This is Liu Yi, our accountant, a scholar. He did this to us in order to repay his kindness."

"Mr. Liu!" Zhu Tao bowed, feeling a little surprised.

He didn't expect that his father, an old and rough businessman, could take in a scholar as his subordinate.

"Young master!" Liu Bowen also respectfully returned the salute, with complicated emotions.

This lazily looking young man in front of him is not only the son that the current emperor would condescend to pretend to be, but also the creator of the cabinet system, the proprietor of a village of thousands of people!

No matter what his status is, he deserves this gift with sincerity!

"Young proprietor, I just came from the cafeteria." Before Zhu Tao could say anything, Liu Bowen spoke first: "Young proprietor, at such a young age, can make a village of thousands of people live and work in peace. Is it good to govern a country?"
