Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

"Okay, I can't drink any more, it's fine if I continue to drink! I'll feel sick to my stomach later!" Zhu Xiongying stopped Zhu Yuanzhang from drinking the wine jar.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little displeased: "You brat, are you still in charge of me?"

Zhu Xiongying was full of anger: "Drinking will hurt your body, Huaiying will take care of it!"

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang gave in first.

"Okay, okay, I won't drink, I won't drink, okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang never imagined that he, who was fearless all his life, would fall into the hands of this kid at this age!

Just as the two were about to talk, they were attracted by the table next door.

It was the two men in short cloth shirts, tall and strong.

"Hey! How's it going? Did the sea trip go well this time?" One of the bearded men asked another man with a scar on his face.

"Well, it went well and earned a lot of money. The tea is very popular there!" said the man with the scar.

The man with the beard seemed a little envious: "Look at you, you used to work with me as an errand in the government, and now you go out to sea to do business, and earn a lot of money. I'm so envious!"

"Who said it wasn't? Thinking about it, our two brothers used to work in the government, and we only got so little money every month, which was not enough for an old family to wear. Fortunately, now that we are open to the sea, we can go to sea to do business, so we have more money on hand." With a lot of money, life is easier, get up!" The scarred man picked up his bowl and took a sip.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the two men talking with great interest.

It was the first time hearing someone praise her, so Zhu Xiongying felt very proud.

And Zhu Yuanzhang felt the same way. Whether the emperor is good or not is the most important thing is whether the people think it is good. It is good that he can listen to what the people think.

"I think when I didn't work in the yamen before, because of the scar on my face, I didn't dare to get it in many places, saying it was too scary! Now it's good, who cares when I go out to do business by myself? The money I earn is all For my own, I have to thank our Majesty for your wisdom!" the man with the scar said happily.

"That's right. I heard that many high officials in the imperial court did not agree to open the sea. Thanks to our majesty, we made the decision to open the sea. Otherwise, our brothers would still be in the yamen now." The errand appointed poor jingle!" The man with the beard touched his chin.

The man with the scar snorted: "As far as I can see, there are not many high-ranking officials who keep saying that they are for the country and the people. They only think about how to exploit us ordinary people every day, and there are not many who do practical things!"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but secretly smiled.

Such a mode of boasting and scolding others can easily make people find a sense of superiority.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed very much, and he often scolded his subordinates like this.

"Hey, I don't know if you've heard of one more thing?" the bearded man asked again.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yuanzhang pricked up their ears at the same time, waiting for the man's next words.

There is really a feeling of listening to Bahang in the corner.

"What's the matter?" The man with the scar put down his wine bowl.

"I heard that the refugees from the south of the Yangtze River were later assigned to work in the salt industry. They were in charge of food and housing, and they were paid three taels of silver every day!"

"Is there such a treatment?"

"Yeah, yeah, anyway, I look envious!"

"Hey, just take these things as an example, the court has really done a lot of good things over the years!" The scarred man laughed twice, "I don't know which capable person came up with such a good way, so It is indeed a good way to house those refugees and produce more salt.”

"Yes, yes, this person must be capable. If a capable person wants me to be the emperor, this person must be reused! Oh!" The man with the beard was covered by the scarred man before he could finish speaking. .

"Don't drink too much and go crazy here, how can you offend His Majesty today! If these words are heard by others, be careful that your head and neck will be broken tomorrow!" the man with the scar said. Forget to look around.

Zhu Xiongying thought it was funny, this buddy said everything he should say and what he shouldn't say, and happened to be heard by His Majesty today, now covering his mouth seems to be useless.

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and didn't care at all.

"It seems that the common people are very satisfied with the shipping and the salt business."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Yes, it's still Grandpa Huang who governs the country well."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, but his eyes were full of connivance: "I have to thank you brat!"

The two walked around, eating and drinking, and it was already late when they returned home.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Xiongying to the mansion and left.

In the next few days, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang retired from the court, he would follow Xu Da to the Duke's Mansion, and he would also bring Zhu Xiongying to study and handle political affairs, and to criticize memorials.

"Come on, take a look at this memorial, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Xiongying to him.

Zhu Xiongying looked at this memorial, it was from Jiangnan.

"At this time, it is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. For two months, the rain has not stopped, causing the water level of the river in the territory to rise sharply, causing harm to the people. What do you think should be done?" Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

Zhu Xiongying: "First of all, this problem cannot be solved in a short while. There is no need to rush, but it must be taken slowly. But it does not mean that it can be delayed. If the rain increases, the river will be blocked later, and the farmland will not be irrigated. It will make the crops poor and the people will not be able to eat, and it will only cause more problems."

"Well, does the imperial court need to allocate funds or provide food?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "In order to solve this matter, it may not necessarily require funding."

"How about that?"

"Make the best use of everything." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "The water level of this river has risen sharply, the sediment has increased, and the river is blocked. If the imperial court sends people to dredge the distant water, it will not be able to solve the thirst.

"How about letting the local people directly participate in this river control operation?" Zhu Xiongying paused and continued, "But we can't let the people do it for nothing. If you want some money, you can either give more land, or give some other rewards, and the people must participate voluntarily and be willing to work hard, only then can it be done!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips, his expression was flat and he didn't respond.

"The method you mentioned is indeed useful, but it is really not a good strategy." Zhu Yuanzhang commented.

Zhu Xiongying: "Huaiying has something bad to say, please ask Grandpa Huang for advice."

"Okay, then Grandpa Huang will teach you well today."

The two talked all night long until dawn.
