Chapter 1661 Whose 'Tyranny'

Romance Chinese Network

Zhu Zhanyong felt that he was a very pure person, a person who was out of low-level interests, a person who was useless to Daming and could only sit and wait for death!

So he recently fell in love with studying food. Whenever he was free, he went to the academy's kitchen to help cook, and even made a few dishes. Unfortunately, the taste was too bad and he was kicked out.

Because of your status, the academy will never look particularly favorably on you. For this, you can look at Tudou and Ping An who are halfway to school.

Tudou has the demeanor of a big brother, and he is always safe in the academy, which makes Zhu Zhanyong feel a little bit worried.

Zhu Zhanji is far away in Jinling, and he doesn't have a big cold for his younger brother. He always feels that he made too many mistakes back then.

The king of the county is not bad either!

Zhu Zhanyong, who was driven out of the kitchen again, comforted himself, and then saw potatoes and peace.

Tudou is distributing food responsibly, and the targets are Ping An and Yue Baoguo.

And Yue Baoguo is older than them, just greedy, plus he has to protect the safety of the two young masters in the academy, so the three of them usually hang out together.

Zhu Zhanyong walked over lazily, and saw that the potatoes were being divided into cakes, so he coughed dryly: "Whoever sees it has a share."

He had eaten the cake before, it was Fang Xing who sent it to the palace, it tasted really good.

Tudou and Pingan are still young, and they don't want to make progress in school, so Zhang Shuhui ordered the kitchen to prepare some snacks every day. On the one hand, they are making friends with classmates, and on the other hand, they need to add some food before lunch because they are growing.

Potato glanced at him, frowned and said, "You go to the kitchen and steal it, don't give it to me!"

Zhu Zhanyong said angrily: "I wanted to go in to learn cooking skills, but I was kicked out."

Potato looked at him contemptuously and said, "You just want to steal it, here it is!"

A small hawthorn cake was handed over, and Zhu Zhanyong said with a bitter face: "The more you eat this, the hungrier you get."

Ping An tilted his head and said, "Your Majesty, but you ate two bowls of noodles for breakfast, as much as Yue Baoguo."

Yue Baoguo puffed up his chest, swallowed the cake in his mouth, hesitantly said: "But I practice martial arts, I practice martial arts every day, the mountain chief said, people who practice martial arts should eat more, otherwise the body will be weak."

The implication of this is that Zhu Zhanyong eats so much without practicing martial arts, he is purely a fool.

After eating the hawthorn cake, Zhu Zhanyong clenched his fist with his right hand, feeling the tingling pain caused by the broken blisters in his palm, and said with a smile, "I grew a lot last year. According to the academy, this is how I grow my body."

Ping An glanced at him, then whispered to Tudou, "Brother, he's a liar."

Tudou nodded, and said to Zhu Zhanyong dissatisfied: "The gentleman is open and honest."

Zhu Zhanyong raised his eyebrows and said, "The villain is a relative."

Potato doesn't like Zhu Zhanyong, he frowned and said, "Let's go."

Seeing the three of them going to the classroom, Zhu Zhanyong smiled slightly, but did not follow.

He no longer needed to listen to every class, and Xie Jin also acquiesced in his choice of courses.

Xie Jin watched Zhu Zhanyong go to the dormitory outside his office door, frowned and said, "It's a trouble for King Zhanyong not to return to the palace. If it wasn't for Dehua's objection, the old man would definitely drive him out."

Zhu Zhanyong's laziness made Xie Jin feel that he had made a bad start and would make those students follow suit.

Lu Changbo was ready to go to the classroom with the lesson plan, and he came out and said: "Mr. Xie, King Zhanyong can't go anywhere now, he can only stay in the academy, but he is very conscious now and knows that he can't affect the homework of other students. , so bear with it."

Xie Jin snorted coldly, then returned to the office.

...

Most of the students in the academy share a dormitory for two, only Zhu Zhanyong has a single room, and the area is not small.

A bed, a small bookcase, a table and chairs, this is the layout of the room.

After Zhu Zhanyong entered the dormitory, he pushed the seat to the side, and then took out a long knife from the back of the bookcase.

Swing the knife! Swing the knife! Swing the knife!

Slowly, there was more gasping in the room,

The long knife became weaker and weaker.

Finally, when Zhu Zhanyong put down the knife, the blistered scar on the palm of his hand was already bleeding.

"hiss!"

Zhu Zhanyong got the medicine powder to cover, then put the long knife back behind the bookcase, and then rested.

After the panting stopped, he took a sip of cold tea and started to read.

The sunlight outside the window gradually warmed up the room, but Zhu Zhanyong looked at the book in his hand ecstatically, writing calculations from time to time.

The days in the academy are always so quiet and... innocent...

...

After Huang Lin was arrested, all parties in Jinling are paying attention to the next move of the household department.

But the Ministry of Household Affairs did not act, as if the contribution to this investigation was only to catch Huang Lin.

So his eyes turned to the big house again.

In the mansion, Fang Xing helped Mo Chou for a walk, asking his younger brother to stay behind and eat sunflower seeds.

The watermelon seeds are dried and fried, and the taste is quite good.

The sun was getting brighter, Fang Xing helped Mo Chou to walk back, and suddenly asked: "What do you think the land is to a family?"

Mo Chou glanced at him in surprise, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master, it's lifeblood!"

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Yes! The lifeblood can be passed on from one generation to the next."

The three farmers who did the work have already been caught. They were caught when they wanted to find a boat to take them to find an island for refuge.

It is said that they were quite calm when they were arrested, but they changed color after being sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, crying and crying for grievances.

...

"It's not advisable to act rashly, it will cause chaos!"

Ever since Fang Xing's medicine was effective, Quan Jin's attitude towards him has become better, so when there were rumors outside, he came to find Fang Xing.

Fang Xing looked at the coffee table in a daze, and raised his head when he heard the words, "Lord Quan, don't move, don't move rashly, otherwise if there is chaos in the south, the north will follow."

Quan Jin reassuredly said: "It's good that you know, those people want to be a master when they study, how can they be a master if they don't have land? This is killing their lifeblood!"

Seeing Fang Xing's serious expression, Quan Jin persuaded him: "Without the land, you can't do business, that is, you have no money and no one. If you have no money, you are poor, you are in distress; if you have no one, you have to wash, cook, and sweep by yourself. It's not easy! "

Fang Xing nodded, then shook his head slightly and said: "They are actually the officials below, but Guochao has no restrictions on them, only preferential treatment, this is to raise a group of tax-free and labor-free labor...Since they are not active, they must draw their salaries from the bottom of the pot !"

Quan Jin was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean?"

He vaguely guessed something, and his face was a little unnatural.

Fang Xing didn't lie to him, and said: "I think the best way is to abolish the privileges of being a scholar and tax exempt, and then immigrate abroad, using a large amount of land with low taxes or even long-term tax-free land to lure those landless farmers away. This will naturally make the contribution trend disappear.”

Quan Jin shook his head and said, "But you have neglected the problem that the people are not willing to leave their hometown. Could it be that you can force them to migrate? That is tyranny!"

But Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di both immigrated in large numbers...

This is one of the 'tyranny'!

Fang Xing lowered his eyes and said: "Master Quan, then we can only cancel the preferential treatment for scholars, and then those farmers can report to the officials to demand the return of their own land."

"But that will cause countless troubles! Big troubles!"

With grizzled beard and hair, Quan Jin looked at Fang Xing with a frown and said, feeling that he was a bit immature. He was worried that Fang Xing was getting angry, so he softened his tone and said: "From the Song Dynasty, preferential treatment of scholars was a national policy, and in this dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao also asked local officials to take care of those scholars from poor families, but... then it became chaotic. , You can't overcorrect it!"

Fang Xing smiled, and said: "Master Quan, this matter is still a preferential treatment in the final analysis. If you go, the scholars will make a fuss, right?"

Quan Jin was stunned, thought for a while, and said sincerely: "Yes."

Fang Xing said helplessly: "But if this preferential treatment is not restricted or terminated, it will be a disaster."

After finishing speaking, he arched his hands and left, Quan Jin stood still and meditated.

"The scourge? Why the scourge?"

"Number of people!"

When Fang Xing's voice came, Quan Jin was startled, and then suddenly realized.

"That's right, when there are more and more famous scholars in the future, the annexation will intensify, then..."
