The palace is lively, and it's almost the same outside the palace.
Su Jing had already arrived at Su's cloth line at this time.
"Master Su, this is my cousin Yu Yun. I came here to buy silk and satin, and I happened to meet her."
Zhu Biao introduced Su Jing.
In order not to reveal his identity, he made up a new name.
Xu Miaoyun bowed slightly towards Su Jing and said, "I have met Mr. Su."
Knowing that the person in front of him was the teacher who had recently taught Prince Zhu Biao, Xu Miaoyun was quite respectful.
Su Jing nodded slightly. Although Xu Miaoyun was young, she could tell that she came from a wealthy family. It was definitely not simple.
However, Su Jing didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Niu Yi, let's go and dig sweet potatoes with me."
It has been almost three months since the sweet potatoes were planted.
The harvest season has finally arrived.
"Okay, Master Su."
Zhu Biao quickly followed Su Jing, very naturally.
This made Xu Miaoyun on the side a little surprised.
She had heard of Su Jing's reputation when she was at home.
The famous teacher who taught the prince!
She was originally looking forward to it, but now her heart was a little nervous.
First, I saw the prince working as a clerk in this cloth shop, and then he was dragged to do farm work together.
this.
Where does it look like a teacher?
"Sister Yu Yun, come with me. Since you have nothing to do, you might as well come and take a look."
Zhu Biao said to Xu Miaoyun.
He was doing it for Xu Miaoyun's own good. If Xu Miaoyun didn't follow him, he might be monitored by Gong Weilang.
By your side, at least you are freer.
"OK."
Xu Miaoyun nodded and set off with Zhu Biao.
As for the servants around her, they all stayed in the city for the time being.
Fields.
Su Jing and Zhu Biao were both very skilled. They dropped their hoes and dug up the soil, revealing the sweet potatoes underneath.
"Look, this is the sweet potato. As I told you before, it has a higher yield than potatoes."
Su Jing picked up a big sweet potato, ran directly to the ditch, washed it, and then cut it open with the knife she carried.
"Try it, it tastes good."
Su Jing handed it to Zhu Biao with a smile, and 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 potatoes and each took a bite.
tasty!
The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
This humble sweet potato tastes so sweet!
"How about it, not bad."
Su Jing looked at the expressions of the two people and said very proudly.
Sweet potatoes can do more things than potatoes.
The two of them finished eating quickly. Zhu Biao was feeling better because he had endured the impact of potatoes.
Xu Miaoyun began to ask about Sweet Potato.
Su Jingzheng was happy and answered in great detail.
"I see, sweet potatoes have so many uses. Mr. Su is really amazing."
When Xu Miaoyun listened to Su Jing's introduction, she felt that sweet potatoes were really a treasure.
Eating, making wine, making sugar, and making sweet potato flour.
After Xu Miaoyun finished asking, Zhu Biao also started asking.
However, unlike Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Biao's focus is mainly on planting methods, planting time, planting difficulty and yield.
Ever since he understood the contradiction between man and land, Zhu Biao has been thinking about solutions.
Potatoes gave him hope, and now sweet potatoes have greatly enhanced his confidence.
The increase in food production means that the number of people that can be fed also increases greatly.
The time that the Ming Dynasty can last seems to have become longer again!
"The Ming Dynasty has Master Su, which is really a blessing to the people."
Zhu Biao bowed towards Su Jing and thanked her sincerely.
Su Jing waved her hands and said: "These are vain words and they are useless. I can't influence whether the people are blessed or not. Don't put high hat on me."
Zhu Biao said seriously: "Master Su, with these sweet potatoes, the people of Ming Dynasty will have more food. If there is a famine, sweet potatoes will be a life-saving thing!"
"With such a great kindness, how can Master Su say that it has no impact?"
High yield per acre and easy to grow.
I have to say that sweet potatoes are actually quite good, although eating too much will cause stomach acid reflux.
But when it comes to starving to death, who will care so much?
Xu Miaoyun on the side also echoed: "Mr. Su, Brother Niu is right, you are too humble."
Su Jing looked at the two people in front of her. Zhu Biao looked a bit like an adult, while Xu Miaoyun was a little girl.
That is to say, only children from wealthy families can go out to buy silk and satin, and normally they can only work as laborers.
"Whether the people have enough food to eat has something to do with the production of food, but it doesn't have that big a relationship."
Su Jing said lightly.
Now it was Zhu Biao and Xu Miaoyun's turn to be confused.
"Master Su, what do you mean by this? Grain production has increased, why are the people still not enough to eat?"
Zhu Biao asked puzzledly.
Su Jing said calmly: "It's a simple reason, because the people only produce food, but they have no power to distribute food."
The power to distribute food.
Zhu Biao immediately understood that farmers had to pay taxes on their food.
The tax-paid grain was distributed by the court.
"Master Su, this is wrong. Nowadays, the grain tax in the Ming Dynasty is very small. After farmers have paid the tax, the remaining grain can be distributed freely."
Zhu Biao retorted.
When Zhu Yuanzhang designated grain taxes, Zhu Biao was also watching from the sidelines.
The Ming Dynasty’s food tax, at least for now, is very low.
Su Jing said lightly: "Then, what about the next emperor? What about the next emperor? There can't be only one emperor."
These direct remarks shocked Xu Miaoyun who was listening.
Is this Mr. Su so direct?
But with Prince Zhu Biao here, it was not her turn to question anything.
Zhu Biao said seriously: "Now that the emperor appoints people on merit and sympathizes with the hardships of the people, I believe that the heirs he trains will also feel the same sympathy for the hardships of the people's lives as he does."
Although he was praising himself, what Zhu Biao said convinced Xu Miaoyun, who knew his identity.
His Royal Highness, the prestige in the entire court is very high.
Whether they are civil servants or military commanders, they all return to their hearts.
Su Jing smiled. He looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Maybe, but there's one thing, Niu Yi, you misunderstood."
"When I say the next emperor, the next emperor, I don't mean that they are unwise, but I mean something else."
Xu Miaoyun's mind started spinning after listening to Su Jing's words, but she couldn't think of anything.
But Zhu Biao said: "If Master Su is talking about corrupt officials, you can rest assured that today we hate corrupt officials the most. If the amount of corruption exceeds sixty taels, we can peel off the day lily."
"In the face of such harsh punishments, I'm sorry they don't have the courage!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao also exuded a majestic air.
He thought Su Jing was talking about corrupt officials, exploiting the people, and deceiving the court. On this point, Zhu Biao was not as kind and kind as usual.
However, Su Jing still shook his head and said:
"Compared with what I said, corrupt officials are nothing but trivial matters."
Regarding updates, I am a newbie and I know that there are only two updates on the shelves, which are a bit sparse, but things have been concentrated recently and I am really busy.
Once the work is done in a few days, it will definitely increase!
