Chapter 2382: Test From the Emperor

Wuyou slowly raised his head, and said aggrievedly to Fang Xing, "Dad, I'm out of ink."

Fang Xing knelt down and took a look, then put his hand between the eyebrows of the two big dogs and said, "Wuyou's craftsmanship is good. Both the big and small insects have become beautiful."

The two big dogs instantly felt doubly aggrieved and rubbed their foreheads against Fang Xing's hand, hoping that he would persuade their little master to let them go.

"real?"

Wuyou felt that his makeup failed, Fang Xing smiled and said: "Of course it's true, well, there will probably be children in the palace today, so you have to be a good little master."

"Really dad?"

"I guess so."

Fang Xing was just making an estimate, but he was very confident.

"father!"

Huanhuan came in again from outside. When Fang Xing saw Huang Zhong frowning at the speech record, he went over and picked up Huanhuan and took the children outside.

There was still residual snow in the fields on the farm. Two big dogs rushed over, lowering their heads to sniff from time to time. The big insects even took a bite of the snow and chewed it deliciously.

Wuyou and Huanhuan were looking for treasures on the edge, but there was nothing in the ground now, so the two children found dead branches to dig in the soil.

Fang Xing was watching from the side and didn't stop him.

It wasn't until Yiqi rushed over that Fang Xing smiled.

…

The New Year is not a good thing for the emperor. Money is spent everywhere, and the entire empire is almost paralyzed.

The only good thing is probably getting some rest.

Fang Xing came out with his entire family, and there were two carriages.

As the country enjoys peace, those bans are gradually loosened, and some people are even proposing to follow the example of the previous government and lift the night ban. But the ministers regarded it as a barking dog and scolded him.

After canceling the night ban, we first need to increase the number of troops to guard and patrol at night. This is not a big problem, but if something goes wrong, who will take the blame?

In Fang Xing's view, part of the reason for adhering to the ancestral system was laziness in politics and not wanting to take responsibility.

The carriage entered the city, and there were already people waiting inside.

"Happy New Year to Mr. Huang!"

Fang Xing greeted Zhu Zhanji seriously.

Behind him were Tudou and Ping An. The two children had been warned on the way and they both raised their hands to say hello to 'Mr. Huang'.

There was a woman standing behind Zhu Zhanji. The woman was holding a boy. Next to her was a girl, Hu Shanxiang, mother and son.

This was probably a rare relaxing moment for Hu Shanxiang. Fang Xinggong handed over his hand, then turned around and said to Zhang Shuhui: "Let's go to the front. You guys should keep an eye on the children from behind and say hello if anything happens."

Zhang Shuhui nodded and took Wuyou and Xiaobai, as well as Mochou and Huanhuan to Hu Shanxiang's side.

"Duanduan!"

"Worry-free!"

After all, the two little girls couldn't help but be happy. As soon as they met, they held hands and cheered softly.

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji walked in the front, followed by their two sons.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Tudou and Ping An and asked, "I just decided this morning to reduce the grain tax by 10% this year. What do you two think?"

Tudou glanced at Fang Xing. He wanted to know if this was a question from the emperor or a test from an elder.

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji smiled at each other, and then said with a smile: "Just answer the questions, how can there be so much care."

The four of them walked slowly. The women and children behind them, protected by the palace guards and servants, were looking at the shops on the left and right. The two girls suddenly cheered, and then begged to see the shop selling masks. Shop.

The group of people followed in, leaving only Fang Xing, Zhu Zhanji, and two children outside.

Tudou whispered: "Young man thinks that reducing food taxes can only be temporary, not permanent."

"Oh! Tell me."

Zhu Zhanji grew up watching Tudou and Ping An, so they were more friendly and their attitudes were naturally different.

Tudou said: "The Ming Dynasty now occupies a very large area. My father said that those places in the South China Sea also have a climate with three crops a year, so food will not be a problem for the Ming Dynasty in the future. Then I thought about what the problem is for the Ming Dynasty..."

He glanced at Fang Xing again,

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing and said: "You used to be very courageous, why have you become less courageous now?"

Tudou said nervously: "I think the biggest problem in the future of the Ming Dynasty is how to make the people richer. With money, the people will dare to spend, and the merchants will make money. Then the merchants will go to buy, and those workshops will recruit more people." Craftsmen, after those craftsmen get money, they can buy rice, grain and meat. As long as life gets better and better, most of the things that rich people could buy in the past can be sold in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will be great."

This is a circular theory, the more circular, the richer. Once the middle is blocked, the economy will naturally be blocked.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Ping An with a smile.

Ping An had been in a daze on the side just now, and then he said slowly: "I think Ming Dynasty should defeat all the opponents outside first, and then slowly take care of the domestic affairs."

The two scholars had been listening on the side just now, and no one drove them away. When I heard this, I couldn't bear it anymore. One of them said: "This is wrong. I think the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty is internal troubles. If the internal troubles are not eliminated, no matter how much money is spent, it will be just a passing smoke. "

Another scholar also frowned and said: "Although the people of the Ming Dynasty are living a good life, education cannot be reduced. Otherwise, if the world is declining, how long can this prosperity last?"

When Tudou heard this, he felt uneasy and said: "There are internal problems, and there are quite a few of them, but after all, we can't stop eating because of choking, right? Isn't His Majesty going to clean up those internal problems one by one now?"

The scholar sneered, "You are so impatient! You rushed to attack the gentry, but you forgot to lay a solid foundation first."

Tu Dou ignored him, and Ping An said to another scholar, "Your Majesty has been allocating money to community schools! But it is said that the community schools are dying now, and the local officials don't care, they just hang the name. On the contrary, there are many more private schools now."

The two scholars looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. They probably often pointed out the country's affairs, similar to the keyboard warriors in later generations.

"What's the use of community schools? We should develop county schools and prefecture schools, including the Imperial College, and recruit more students. When these students go down, one person will lead ten or a hundred people, and there will be a day of great harmony in the world!"

Nonsense!

Fang Xing was in a good mood at first, thinking that these two cannons at least had some tricks, but when he heard this, his interest was gone.

Zhu Zhanji was still listening with interest.

Ping An didn't talk much, but when he heard the happy voices of Wuyou and Duanduan, he said impatiently: "The world belongs to the people after all. Since we are talking about education, we have to find out from the people. What about county schools and prefectural schools? We should set up more real community schools so that the children of the people can study. That is education."

Potato didn't want to chat with them anymore, and said: "Education, education, must be educating the world, not a group of people, what kind of education is that? Let everyone in the world afford to read, this seems to be what your majesty said, this is education."

The two scholars just sneered, and one of them said: "It's good enough for the people to have enough food, can they afford the cost of studying?"

Potato sighed: "Your majesty will reduce the grain tax of the Ming Dynasty by 10% this year."

Uh!

This is the latest news, which will be spread at this moment, so the two people don't know it yet.

"This... No way!"

A scholar thought this decision was incredible. He said suspiciously, "Whose family are you from? You are talking nonsense and misleading people. If it is false, when the farmers make a fuss, your family will have ten heads to chop off."

Seeing Potato being threatened, Ping An's face suddenly turned cold and said, "It has spread, and you are still sitting in the well and watching the sky!"

"You know how to lie at such a young age, don't adults know how to control it?"

Although exempting 10% of the grain tax in the world is not groundbreaking, it is really incredible for a country like Ming Dynasty with a large population and expenditure.

The emperor would actually take the initiative to collect less money?

This is unrealistic.

"Long live His Majesty!"

At this time, someone was shouting in front, and joy could be heard in the voice.

The two scholars looked at Potato and Ping An in astonishment and said, "Isn't this too coincidental?"

"Long live His Majesty!"

At this time, the shouting became louder and louder, and it could be heard that many people were shouting together.

The two scholars looked ahead and saw arms all over the front.

Arms are waving, and smiling faces can be seen.

"Long live His Majesty!"
