Chapter 184: Don't reward a gold medal and a piece of jade
Liu Chun is worrying about this matter these days, it turns out that he is very inclined to Xu Miaojin, of course, it's just a thought, and it doesn't get to the point where she doesn't marry, in fact, Liu Chun doesn't take love very seriously, at least there will be no absurd thoughts like "what you lose is just a leg, but what she loses is love", after all, there are still a few successful juniors, and what can turn the successful experience into a grandiose is a strange thing in a strange way.
Liu Chun likes Xu Miaojin's relatively independent personality very much, and the two of them get along very easily and happily. It's just that these days, he has seen Li Wuflaw a few more times, and Liu Chun has to admit that she is a standard Jiangnan talented girl, which is very in line with the goddess in the hearts of many boys.
As for Lan Yu's baby daughter, Liu Chun's most impressive thing is her figure, absolutely amazing!
Well, a minute of silence for Miss Lan obviously meant the most, but it made Liu Chun, who had no conscience, come to the end......
In general, Liu Chun has a little appreciation for the three of them, and he once dreamed of ...... But he knows it's unrealistic. Who knew that such a ridiculous thing actually came out of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth!
What the hell!
"Your Majesty, really, really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes have been staying outside the hanging basket, looking down greedily at his world, watching the boats on the river come and go, how magnificent!
"I am the Son of Heaven, what can't I do!"
Zhu Yuanzhang is full of pride, that's right, even the sky is up, Liu Chun's little thing is not a matter at all!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Chun was excited, forgetting that this was at a height of thirty zhang, and stood up excitedly, and the hanging basket shook with him, so frightened that he hurriedly squatted down again, but his face was still full of joy.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said quietly: "Of course I can give marriage, but you have to get the three families to agree first!" ”
"What?" Liu Chun's round eyes widened, Zhu Yuanzhang, are you talking about human words?
Lao Zhu Man didn't care, "These children have all grown up with my own eyes, if you have the ability to make the three of them willing, of course I am happy to push the boat and fulfill you, what's wrong with this?" ”
Liu Chun was so angry that he wanted to rush up to kill the king...... That's right, he just wants to kill this old shameless one.
I have the ability to settle the three families, is it okay for me to ask for relatives directly, can I use your old man to do this extra thing?
Really, if Liu Chun wasn't afraid of heights, he would have wanted to catch Lao Zhu and beat him up.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Chun gritting his teeth and panting, and became more and more happy, just like enjoying the scenery, with the same happiness.
"Liu Chun, the so-called Qing officials are difficult to cut off family affairs, if you can't settle these three families, even if I get married, after getting married, the world will be restless. I'm here for your own good! ”
Liu Chun is no longer able to complain, if you are always for my good, you shouldn't mention this stubble, it's purely because you have nothing to do.
Liu Chun squatted in the corner, so depressed that he didn't speak, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scenery for a while, and suddenly sneezed. Liu Chun had to speak, "Your Majesty, it's cold in the high places, it's better to go down quickly, in case you get sick, the minister will be guilty." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, suddenly put his hand into his sleeve, took out a jade Pixiu from it, looked at it in his hand, and then threw it to Liu Chun.
"Take it!"
Liu Chun subconsciously took it, and he had also seen a lot of good things during this time, the jade was warm and moist, and it was a good thing at first glance.
Lao Zhu said: "If you don't like the gold medal, I will give you a jade, it will be of great use." ”
Liu Chun looked at Yu Pixiu, then at Lao Zhu, swallowed and foamed, and said stupidly: "Your Majesty, what's the use of this thing?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Don't ask me, go home and find your father, he knows!" ”
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Liu Chun, but waved the small flag hanging on the hanging basket, the hot air balloon slowly landed, Liu Chun held the jade pixiu, and his heart was pounding.
Lao Zhu's expression was indifferent and he didn't say much, but experience told him that the simpler the things on the surface, the more complicated the things behind them. And Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Dad, so this thing has something to do with Jinyiwei...... Liu Chun was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed it into his arms and hid it, for fear of letting outsiders see it.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw his flustered appearance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "If you really dare to take it seriously, I will take it back before it lands." This treasure is not something that anyone can get. ”
Getting off the hot air balloon, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, still unsatisfied.
"Well, that's great! When the weather is good, I'm coming, this thing is so good! Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his sons who were eager to try, and finally opened his favor, "You guys also go up and take a look!" ”
In this way, two pairs, two pairs, went to the sky one after another, and the exclamations were endless, even if they were as steady as Zhu Di, their faces were flushed, and they couldn't help but be happy.
"It's spectacular, it's extraordinary!" Zhu Di suddenly remembered a possibility, "Father, this thing can fly high in the air, will anyone use this thing to do evil?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was still immersed in joy, but he didn't expect this section.
"What do you mean?"
"Father, if someone is near the palace and uses a hot air balloon to lift into the air, it is condescending, which is not good for the palace, so you must guard against it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and called Liu Chun again.
"Tell me, can this thing fly to the palace?"
"No problem, this time the minister is worried about the danger, so he has prepared a rope, if the rope is removed, the hot air balloon can fly with the direction of the wind. As long as you are upwind, it is possible to fly to the top of the palace. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Liu Chun, that means that someone can fly to my head, and pee, and even stab me!" Right? Why didn't you remind me before you kid got this thing? ”
Liu Chun was so angry that he exploded, surnamed Zhu, you gave me thirty guan at the time, and you drove me away, for fear that I would ask you for money, but now it's good, come and blame me again, what's wrong with me, you old thing is just picking bones in eggs, so give a little reward, you are a black-hearted boss.
"Your Majesty, although the hot air balloon is not too difficult, but so far, only the minister can make it here, and the minister will never dare to bully the king. However, His Majesty's concern is also reasonable, within a few years, there will inevitably be people copying it, and even some people will use it to do evil. Therefore, the minister suggested that His Majesty should immediately issue a decree that hot air balloons should not be released within twenty miles of the capital, and that bows and crossbows and fire guns should be prepared on the city wall, and once the hot air balloons were found to be intruding, they should be shot down immediately. Also, the minister thinks that anyone can't make a hot air balloon, this must be regulated! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded frequently, "What you say makes sense, but how to standardize, who can build it and who can't?" ”
Liu Chun said with a smile: "This is simple, Your Majesty only needs to issue a decree, important inventions belong to the inventor, and within five years, anyone can copy them at will without authorization, and they need to bear several times the compensation." In this way, the inventor will supervise for His Majesty those who illegally make hot air balloons. ”
Lao Zhu thought about it and suddenly became angry!
"Good! Yoo Chun! I understand that you kid is trying to monopolize the interests of the hot air balloon, and let me issue a decree, you are really a piece of paper with a nose, you have such a big face! ”
Lao Zhu was so angry that he said it after the break, and Liu Chun was not convinced.
"Your Majesty, why is the minister for himself? The minister dared to ask His Majesty to meet some people! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded reluctantly, Liu Chun turned around, and after a while, Tao Chengdao and his disciples were all called, and the big guy knelt down for a long time.
"Your Majesty, please see, they are all the children of craftsmen in the army, and they have suffered a lot over the years, many of them are in their twenties, and they don't even have daughters-in-law. Your Majesty cherishes the poor people the most, and the grace of the saints should be extended to these people! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, "Tao Chengdao, your original name is Tao Guangyi, right?" ”
Tao Chengdao kowtowed, "Back to Your Majesty, the name of the minister is given by Your Majesty, and the minister's five bodies are thrown to the ground!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Over the years, your life has been very bad? ”
Tao Chengdao wiped a handful of tears, shook his head and said: "It's all the minister's own doing, he has to fly to the sky, if it weren't for Senior Brother Liu's guidance, the minister is only afraid of breaking his bones, and he won't be able to realize his long-cherished wish." The minister can follow His Majesty, which is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations, and the minister has no regrets. It's just that these disciples of the ministers are still the lowest artisans, and in addition to paying taxes and grain, they have to serve in the workshop for ten days a month, and they also have to work in the homes of officials for ten days, and only ten days can be at their disposal. I often don't have enough to eat, I go hungry, and once I get sick, I have to pay a penny of silver to let the government hire someone to replace me, and if I can't pay it, I will be beaten and even killed......"
Tao Chengdao said, tears in his eyes...... Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take a deep breath, the problem of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty was mentioned by many people, and everyone thought that Lao Zhu was unkind.
In fact, this thing is inherited from the Yuan Dynasty.
In the process of conquest and slaughter, the Mongol Empire attached great importance to craftsmen, and every time they conquered a city, they would loot craftsmen for their own use.
When Lao Zhu raised his troops, he conquered the county seat of Zhouxian County, and naturally captured many craftsmen.
In the war, he became a prisoner, how could he enjoy the same treatment as ordinary people, and Lao Zhu did not have enough money at that time to give preferential treatment to craftsmen. In fact, the first craftsmen were still able to get enough grain, rice, and salt, and they were regularly rewarded with clothes and fabrics.
But with the peace of the world, craftsmen went from serving the army at the beginning to working for yamen at all levels, including working in the palace, and served more masters, almost completely reduced to slaves. Many people can't bear it, so they run away, or slack off, which has become a disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty.
"Liu Chun, are you going to speak for the craftsman?"
"The minister didn't, the minister just spoke to his own workers...... If Your Majesty can agree to the patent of the hot air balloon, the minister can give them 10% of the shares, and everyone can get dozens more in a year, and life will be much better. ”
Lao Zhu knows Liu Chun's virtue too well, this kid often digs a small pit, and when you unconsciously step into it, you will find that this is a bottomless pit!
The so-called patents are probably the same thing!
Old Zhu pondered, slowly walking up and down among the craftsmen, his gaze falling on a young man who was black like a carbon rod.
"I ask you, what would you do if you were given fifty dollars?"
"Five, fifty times...... I, I want to marry Widow Zhang! ”
"Widow Zhang?" Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "Why don't you want to marry the big girl of Huanghua, someone still wants to marry three miles?" ”
The black boy said innocently: "I am a pariah, marrying a yellow flower girl, I will be snatched away by the eldest master, and I will not be allowed to sleep!" I am only worthy to marry widows, and when they see that they are ugly, they will not rob me! ”
The black boy's harmless laughter, as if the most spicy mockery, made Lao Zhu's face completely black...... How can these old habits of the previous dynasties still exist? When I really can't see it?
