The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
Xu Miaoyun is back.
Xu Da felt truly relieved when he saw his daughter appeared safely.
"Miaoyun, did you encounter anything?"
Xu Da asked his daughter Xu Miaoyun.
This is his precious daughter, and Xu Miaoyun is the first in the Duke of Wei's palace.
Xu Miaoyun said with a relaxed look: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine."
With that said, the two of them entered the side hall.
After Xu Da sent all his servants away, he asked Xu Miaoyun:
"Miaoyun, you must have met the prince this time."
Xu Miaoyun said directly: "Dad, don't worry about asking. I'll just tell you."
"Daughter, I not only met the prince's brother, but also Mr. Su, who is famous both inside and outside the palace."
Xu Miaoyun knew her father very well, so she took a step ahead of him.
Xu Da chuckled and said, "Miaoyun, I won't ask the prince. Is this Mr. Su really that good at Chuan?"
Xu Miaoyun nodded and said: "Mr. Su is indeed very powerful, and my daughter admires him very much."
Xu Da was shocked. Not many people could make such comments about his daughter.
It seems that Mr. Su is really not simple.
Thinking of what Zhu Yuanzhang had said to him, Xu Da's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"By the way, what did the queen say when she summoned you?"
Xu Da asked again.
Xu Miaoyun said: "It's nothing, I have the same problem as you, dad, and then we just talked about the Xu family."
Xu Da frowned slightly, a little surprised, is that all?
Why did it always feel like there was something else before?
"Um."
Xu Da nodded and did not continue to ask.
Anyway, as long as his daughter is back safely, other things are not important.
"By the way, Miaoyun, remember not to tell anyone about this matter. If anyone asks, they will say they don't know."
Xu Da gave another instruction. Lao Zhu had already mentioned this to him.
Xu Miaoyun nodded and said, "I know, Dad."
"Okay, then you should go and have a good rest first. You should be tired after running for a day."
Xu Da said with concern.
However, Xu Miaoyun said with a solemn expression: "Dad, don't leave in a hurry. My daughter still has something to tell you."
Seeing his daughter's solemn expression, Xu Da also realized that things might not be simple.
Although her daughter is still young, her mind is not weak at all.
"Okay, tell me, Dad, listen."
Xu Da nodded and checked his surroundings again to make sure there were no servants around.
Xu Miaoyun paused and said: "Father, if in the future, your Majesty wants the officials and gentry to pay for the food, you must not be incited to object."
Um?
When Xu Dagang heard this, he was a little confused.
It is your Majesty's request that the officials and gentry receive food.
Isn't this a joke?
But this was said by his daughter, Xu Da still patiently said:
"Miaoyun, what do you mean by this? Is it that Mr. Su?"
The only thing Xu Da could think of was Su Jing.
Xu Miaoyun nodded, and then repeated to Xu Da what Su Jing had said about the shortcomings of officials and gentry not paying their bills.
Xu Da didn't care much at first, but the more he heard it, the more frightened he became.
This is really what happened!
"So, Dad, do you understand?"
Xu Miaoyun said seriously to her father Xu Da.
Xu Da sighed slightly: "This Mr. Su is really a great talent. I finally understand why Your Majesty wants the prince to study with him."
"It's just Miaoyun, this won't work, at least not now."
Xu Da occupies the position of Duke of Wei. Although he is a military commander, he is also good at strategy.
It's not that he can't see through the things happening in the court, he just doesn't bother to participate.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had just promulgated the preferential policy that officials and gentry would not pay grain, and it was impossible to change it immediately.
Orders were changed at night, and the emperor's majesty was damaged.
Rather, it is the officials and gentry who receive food as one, which infringes upon the interests of all officials and gentry.
At that time, it will not be a question of whether Xu Da will oppose it or not, but everyone will oppose it.
Of course, these owners only refer to all those who do not pay for food.
They were precisely the people who had the right to speak in the Ming Dynasty.
The resistance to this policy is too great!
Xu Miaoyun looked at her father and said, "Father, maybe it won't work now, but that doesn't mean it won't work in the future."
"Don't forget, the prince brother is still being taught by Mr. Su."
Prince!
The future master of Ming Dynasty.
Hearing this, Xu Da's eyebrows showed a trace of solemnity.
My daughter is right.
It may not work now, but what about the prince with Su Jing's guidance?
Thinking of this, Xu Da immediately said solemnly to his daughter Xu Miaoyun:
"Miaoyun, from today on, you will keep this matter in my stomach! You must not reveal anything about it! Even if your mother asks, you can't tell me!"
Xu Miaoyun nodded: "My daughter knows."
Soon, the two walked out of the side hall happily, as if the father and daughter were just chatting.
"By the way, father, I brought some gifts back."
As Xu Miaoyun said, the servants had already delivered the washed and cut sweet potatoes.
"What's this?"
Xu Da picked up the sweet potato curiously and asked.
Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "Father will know after he tastes it."
Xu Da took a bite immediately, it was extremely sweet.
While Xu Da was tasting, Xu Miaoyun also briefly introduced the sweet potatoes.
That made Xu Da, the first general who founded the Ming Dynasty, stunned for a moment.
The potatoes reported in the palace were already powerful enough, but this sweet potato is even more powerful!
"Daughter, so are these sweet potatoes?"
"Yes, Father."
Xu Da blurted out subconsciously, but Xu Miaoyun reacted quickly and interrupted Xu Da's words.
It is best not to mention the name Su Jing even at home.
"What a good thing!"
Xu Da sighed, becoming more and more curious about Su Jing.
Inside the Fengxian Hall of the Forbidden City.
Zhu Yuanzhang also received the sweet potatoes sent back by Zhu Biao.
Except for the introduction of sweet potatoes, Zhu Biao did not mention the matter of officials and gentry receiving food together.
He knew that it was not appropriate to mention this matter at this time, so he had to figure it out slowly.
Moreover, he has already implicated Xu Miaoyun. If he mentions this now, he may drag Xu Miaoyun into it again.
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, potatoes and sweet potatoes are my weapons!"
Zhu Yuanzhang held the sweet potato and said with great joy.
The previous potatoes allowed him to launch the Northern Expedition without worrying about food and grass.
Now that there’s one more option, it’s a piece of pie in the sky.
No, this big pie was prepared and thrown away by Su Jing.
Zhu Yuanzhang's perception of Su Jing became much better.
He couldn't wait to taste the sweet potatoes in various ways.
What Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that his son, Prince Zhu Biao, the future heir to the Ming Empire, was being "brainwashed" by Su Jing.
