"Seven things to do when opening the door: vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea! Among them, firewood ranks before rice...
It's not that our ancestors didn't know the benefits of boiling water. Although they didn't necessarily understand microorganisms, they figured it out from daily life practice. "Health Preservation Essentials Collection" says: Anyone who boils water and drinks it will avoid the occurrence of all diseases. .
What really affects the promotion of this policy is not boiling water itself, but whether ordinary people can afford to boil water?
Brother, have you ever heard of the charcoal seller? "
Zhang Yi didn't make a long speech, but Zhu Biao was disturbed by what he said.
He is not a prince who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, but the eldest son who followed Zhu Yuanzhang through the process of conquering the world.
He has seen the suffering of the people, but he has not experienced the suffering like Zhu Yuanzhang.
The people work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They are almost tied to the fields all day long. Even so, it is not easy to find food and clothing.
Firewood will not appear in front of the stove out of thin air, it needs to be collected by the people themselves.
However, if you collect firewood specifically, it will delay production. Once or twice is nothing. If you boil water all year round, the cost will not be consumed by ordinary people.
Not to mention boiling water, even ordinary people spend a lot of time eating cold food.
Why? Just because I can’t afford to burn it!
Charcoal is an important resource in this era.
Zhang Yi saw that Zhu Biao seemed to understand something and nodded secretly. This brother of the Huang family is still very perceptive.
At the same time, Zhang Yi also felt something in his heart. As a time traveler, when he first came to this world, what did he want to change?
But the more he lived in this world, the more he understood that the ancients were not that stupid. It was not that they didn't know which way of life was better.
It’s just that it’s so difficult to change. It’s even harder to boil water.
The limitations of the times and people's fixed thinking will resist change...
As time went by, Zhang Yi no longer wanted to do anything, and was too lazy to do it.
If you want to implement so-called changes, you must have power, but Zhang Yi has no interest in interacting with the king who holds the most powerful power in the world.
As long as any time traveler knows something about the history of the Ming Dynasty, probably no one would want to make a living under Zhu Yuanzhang.
That guy is a typical example of a stingy and demanding boss!
It is too difficult to get a good death under his hands!
Zhang Yi complained about Lao Zhu in his heart, but Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhang Yi with admiration. The more he got in touch with this kid, the more he discovered that he was a treasure.
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang was just curious about Zhang Yi, but then he wanted to take advantage of the "god" behind him. After he went to Chang Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that Zhang Yi himself was a piece of jade.
Sometimes his views on the world are so mature that he doesn't look like a child at all.
The sense of difference brought about by maturity and age, combined with his identity as a Taoist priest, seems to have become a reasonable mystery.
immortal!
A ridiculous idea flashed through the emperor's mind, and he immediately shook his head to suppress the idea.
At this time, Zhu Biao stood up and saluted Zhang Yi.
"I took it for granted!" Zhu Biao looked solemn.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily. Lao Zhu himself knew that he had an extreme personality, but it was determined by his origin, not that he could change it if he wanted to.
But Zhu Biao's temperament was more inherited from Queen Ma's generosity. A ruthless man like him is needed to conquer the world, but it is more suitable for him to be the king of Shoucheng in the Ming Dynasty.
"Then do you know where you went wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke, making Zhu Biao stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head.
"Zhang Yi has a better background than you and is younger than you. He has lived in Longhu Mountain since he was a child, and he doesn't walk around like you and me. This simple truth should not be taught by others!
I know you are under pressure, so you follow my example in everything, but why are you staring at me with your eyes? Might as well take a closer look below!
We businessmen earn every penny from the common people! "
When Zhu Biao heard this, his face immediately turned red.
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang said that his family background was not as good as Zhang Yi's, but he had not yet reacted. If you think about it more carefully, when he was born, Lao Zhu was just a King of Wu living in the shadow of Chen Youliang.
He had been on the battlefield with his father, and he had also seen his mother's embarrassment when she ran away with her injured father on her back.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a rebel leader who was at risk at any time.
Speaking of which, at that time, he was really incomparable to the Zhang family in Longhushan, which was still prosperous after hundreds of years.
But he just couldn't see the problem he should have seen.
"Father, you taught me well!"
What the emperor said was a businessman, but the meaning behind it was the world...
Zhu Biao was moved for a moment:
"Then I will work hard from now on to make boiled water affordable for people all over the world..."
When Lao Zhu saw him cheating, he picked up a book on the table and hit Zhu Biao on the head.
He laughed and cursed:
"You are so arrogant. If you have the ability, you should first pass the exam and get the honor first. You are not even a seventh-grade sesame official, but you still care about the prime minister?!"
Zhu Biao also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and secretly admired the emperor's quick wit!
He lowered his head and sneered, not daring to look at the emperor!
The exchange between father and son fell into Zhang Yi's eyes.
Zhang Yi didn't know the relationship between father and son, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang scolding his son, he felt vaguely...envy...
Perhaps this is the best state between father and son. Even hundreds of years later, few relationships between father and son can reach this state.
Although his relationship with Zhang Normal has eased, there is still a hurdle in Zhang Yi's heart that he has not overcome.
Lao Zhu turned around, caught the look in Zhang Yi's eyes, and smiled.
Still a child after all!
"If we can allow people to have the freedom to boil water, the Ming Dynasty will usher in a prosperous age!"
"Let's not think about that. What Zhang Yi said makes sense. People can't do it for the time being, but our family must take this matter seriously and tell us later that everyone in our family will drink boiled water from now on...
From now on, our shopkeepers will also let them boil water for drinking! "
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment. The emperor's words meant that he had decided to implement the drinking of boiled water as a national policy like the Nose Miao Law. Maybe today's Ming Dynasty cannot make everyone drink boiled water. But this is also the goal that the two emperors will work hard for in the future.
Zhang Yi:......
The two men of the Huang family are quite capable, don't they just want the people in the business to drink hot water, as if they want to change the world.
"Brother Huang, do you also want fame?"
Zhang Yi waited for the father and son to finish talking, then curiously added a sentence.
The Ming Dynasty was different from other dynasties in that children of businessmen could also seek fame. However, the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty had not yet been held, and the court still relied on the recommendation system. Ordinary people could not enter the court as officials.
Zhu Biao nodded when he heard this:
"After all, a businessman has a low-level household registration. As a brother, I really want to honor my ancestors, but now the court has not opened the subject. As long as the court opens the Enke, we also want a chance to leave a name in history!"
Although he didn't really want to take part in the imperial examination, Zhu Biao's words contained a clear intention.
It's a pity that all his passion was dashed away by Zhang Yi's words.
"Brother, it's hard to think about it!"
Zhang Yi smiled politely but awkwardly.
