Gu Duan had no intention of saying these words to Zhu Yunxu.
After all, in his opinion, Zhu Yunzhen was still a child, a doll who was only seven years old.
You can talk to Lan Yu about the Bu family.
But after dealing with Zhu Yunzhen, Gu Duan immediately understood that this person should not be treated like a child.
Therefore, I made up my mind and gave a warning.
His voice was very low, lest others hear him.
"That's enough!" Zhu Yunzhen didn't hesitate and yelled loudly: "The national law is supreme, how can we tolerate personal affairs? Even if my uncle comes in person today, I will still catch him!"
"If it is called a misunderstanding because of a close relationship, then what is the use of legislation?"
"The words and laws of the Spring and Autumn Period are not respected, but I say that if the emperor breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
After saying this, Zhu Yunzhen could clearly feel that the way everyone looked at him changed again.
"This... the lower official knows." Seeing that Zhu Yunxuan was resolute and showed no concern for others, Gu Duan did not dare to say more, and quickly left and left with others.
In a blink of an eye, there were only a crowd of people watching on the pier.
Perhaps because they had finished watching the fun, or perhaps because they were afraid of Zhu Yunzhen, the people dispersed after a while.
"Fourth Master, shall we go back to the house?" Ying'er asked cautiously.
Zhu Yunxuan thought for a moment and said: "No, don't go back home, take the sweet potato into the palace!"
…
When Zhu Yunxuan came to the palace, it was still early.
Lao Zhu is reading in the study.
Seeing Zhu Yunzhen coming, Lao Zhu put down the book with a smile: "Hey! Xiaobao Qingtian is here!"
Zhu Yunxuan paused for a moment, and then he realized that Lao Zhu knew everything about today.
So well informed.
He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Grandpa Huang, are you making fun of Fu'er?"
Lao Zhu hurriedly said seriously: "How could it be? You've done a great job today, and it's too late for Grandpa Huang to be happy! Please tell Grandpa Huang how Xiao Bao Qingtian solved the case today."
Zhu Yunzhen smiled innocently, returned to his childlike appearance, and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
After listening to the whole incident in detail, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be thoughtful and asked: "Zhen'er, Bu Sibei's family is doing a lot of business, and he belongs to your uncle. Aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked over with interest, as if he wanted to see through Zhu Yunxu.
Sensing Lao Zhu's gaze, Zhu Yunzhen said firmly: "The national law cannot be tarnished, and those who are corrupt and bend the law must be severely punished!"
"This is what my father taught me since I was a child."
"The public is public, the private is private, and the national laws are ruthless. How can we abolish the public because of private interests? Not to mention corrupt officials and those who bully and dominate the market, everyone will punish them!"
Looking at Zhu Yunzhen, who hated evil as much as he hated hatred, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.
He didn't say a word, just looked at Zhu Yunzhen blankly.
It seemed that he saw something.
After being stunned for a long time, Lao Zhu laughed heartily, as if all the gloom had been swept away.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Lao Zhu said three good words in a row, stretched out his thumb and said: "As expected of our Lao Zhu's grandson, good!"
Zhu Yunxuan knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang hated most was corrupt officials.
Lao Zhu was born into poverty, and it was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a dark and chaotic era.
Corrupt officials at all levels exploited the people, and Zhu Yuanzhang's family also suffered greatly.
He had no idea how much he had suffered from corrupt officials since he was a child. Several members of his family also starved to death due to layers of exploitation, famine and other factors.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even have money to bury them.
Therefore, his hatred for corrupt officials is deep in his bones.
After becoming emperor, he established the most stringent criminal laws.
Any official who embezzles more than sixty taels of silver will be put to death.
He may not be completely unaware of the Bu family's affairs, but he has never taken action.
It's not that Lao Zhu has changed.
But this is politics, because the time has not yet come.
Zhu Yunxuan thought of the famous blue jade case in history. In addition to the skinning of the blue jade and the execution of everyone in the family, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than 10,000 people!
In Zhu Yunzhen's view, Lan Yu's rebellion was almost certainly fake.
That was just Zhu Yuanzhang clearing the way for Zhu Yuanwen to inherit the throne.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang loved his people as a son, he was also decisive and cruel.
In the past, Zhu Yunxuan only understood it as political needs.
Lao Zhu was cruel and killed many people.
Now it seems that is not entirely the case.
Most of the people he killed should really be corrupt officials.
It was not an unjust killing.
Lao Zhu used this name to clean up the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that the water is really deep!
History is far from a record of a few words on the surface.
Thinking about it, Zhu Yunzhen shuddered subconsciously.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to suddenly remember something and asked: "By the way, Xu'er, you just said that you found sweet potatoes?"
Zhu Yunzhen came back to his senses and said: "Grandpa Huang, Zhu Yun'er was just wanting to talk to you about this matter."
Zhu Yunxu clapped his hands, and soon, several guards brought in a box of sweet potatoes.
Lao Zhu stepped forward, picked up a sweet potato and looked at it repeatedly.
"This is sweet potato... I actually found it!"
"Well, I didn't expect it to be so easy," Zhu Yun said.
"Is this thing really that useful?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, squinting his eyes.
"Grandpa Huang didn't know that the yield of this sweet potato is very high," Zhu Yunxuan explained.
"How high is it?"
According to the ancient figure of sixteen taels per catty, Zhu Yunzhen secretly converted it and said: "Just one acre of land can produce at least 2,500 catties!"
In fact, he was a little unsure about how much one tael weighed at this time, and how much a kilogram was.
There is no standard weighing device of later generations to measure it, so we can only estimate it.
However, even if there is a big error, he still has the confidence to say such things.
After all, the output of Gansu in later generations can reach up to 3,000 kilograms, which is more than 6,000 kilograms.
"What? Two thousand five hundred kilograms! Or the least?" Lao Zhu stood up excitedly, his hands having nowhere to put.
You know, in the early Ming Dynasty, the yield per mu was only about 200 jins per catty, calculated as sixteen taels per catty.
"The yield of sweet potatoes has increased more than ten times?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened, obviously shocked.
But soon, he realized that he was absent-minded.
"Hey, you're just hearing what people say, how can you say it with such certainty?"
this?
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment.
He can't say that I came from the future and know everything about it, right?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yunzhen said: "Grandpa Huang, after you assigned the task to your grandson, your grandson went to inquire about it. This is what people who came back from overseas said."
"They all say this. I guess there is no lie."
"Grandpa Huang, what you said is true, and sweet potatoes are rich in nutrients. An adult needs to eat at least one kilogram of grain a day to be full, but if it's sweet potatoes, only half a kilogram is enough."
"Surprisingly...so..." Lao Zhu looked at the sweet potato in his hand greedily, and his eyes were actually a little moist.
He looked at it repeatedly, as if looking at his beloved baby.
After a long time, Lao Zhu reluctantly put down the sweet potato and said excitedly: "Xi'er, if this sweet potato is really what you said, my Ming Dynasty will never have so many people starving to death!"
"You are the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Let's find a human race right now... No, no... no... no!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head excitedly and said resolutely: "We will plant it ourselves!"
