When Ma Du entered the hall, the three members of the Lao Zhu family were talking around the table with their teeth picked, all of them were full of oil, and only the leftovers were left on the table.

Lao Zhu picked his teeth with a toothpick and smiled: "Xuan Zhong is stunned for what to do, hurry up and come over to eat, there are still a lot of dishes!" ”

This is obviously talking nonsense with open eyes, the dinner in Kunning Palace is not rich in the first place, Lao Zhu and Zhang Wuliu have no habit of leftovers, what else can they chew.

There were still two and a half bowls of rice on the table, which were estimated to be leftover from the two princesses, and Madu poured some soup together and shaved it into his mouth. Ma Dajia sneered twice and slapped her on the shoulder, "You, what are you pretending to be pitiful!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the palace.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Father and mother joked to my uncle, uncle don't eat leftovers, your meal will come in a while." ”

"A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and leftovers can also support people." Madu took a spoon and shaved rice into his mouth.

"Haha...... I love to hear this, I lived on other people's leftovers in those years, and I don't know how many leftovers I ate. At that time, there were not many people who could eat enough, and it was a great kindness to be able to give me a mouthful, and I owe a lot to the people. ”

Lao Zhu naturally refers to his youth begging for food, and he rarely hears him talk about it, in that era of war and famine, you can imagine how embarrassed he was at that time.

"What I envy most every time I go to the academy is the delicious food in the mouths of those students, which can be exchanged for a small meal ticket." Lao Zhu said, took out a meal ticket from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Ma Du didn't realize what Lao Zhu wanted to say, and said with a smile: "The emperor is envious and jealous of the students' meals when he sees them, but Weichen is very distressed, this group of bastards eats more, and there is one less in the treasury of Weichen's house, and he doesn't study well and makes trouble all day long, I heard that now that Wei Guogong has finished fighting Wusizang, the expenses of the imperial court should be relaxed, you should take over the academy quickly." ”

"It's beautiful to think about, Liaodong hasn't been cleaned up yet, you can endure it for two more years." Lao Zhu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Actually, how can the students of the academy be as unsuccessful as you say, I only went through their evaluations in the official department a few days ago, and they are also honest and benevolent. ”

"Listening to the emperor praise the students of the academy like this, Wechen is a little uncomfortable, aren't you talking back, if there is anything, you should say it directly, otherwise Wechen won't be able to eat it."

"Uncle better don't eat yet, when you're full, the queen mother will be busy in vain." Zhu Biao said with a smile: "What my father just said was true, compared to the old officials who procrastinated, the students of the academy can be described as vigorous and resolute, and Qi Tai, who helped the lonely in Shandong to reform the tax system, set up a shelf in a short time, and it began to be officially implemented after the summer harvest this year." ”

"I guess the impeachment of him is not less, that kid is diligent and pragmatic, but he is also a little stubborn and inevitably offends people, His Royal Highness has to take care of it more."

Lao Zhu sneered, "It's no wonder if you smash other people's jobs and don't be hated, who is doing things for the imperial court, who is digging the corners of the Ming Dynasty, I know in my heart, as long as he doesn't take bribes and harm the people, I am his backer." It's not bad for people to be stubborn and stupid, just like Gu Jing, the court is as lazy and greedy as you, how can you get it. ”

"Weichen thinks that if the whole dynasty is like Gu Jing, it will be a big trouble, when will that stupid boy get your blue eyes, I'm afraid he will soar."

While speaking, Ma Dajia led the maid back with the rice, and a large bowl was placed in front of Ma Du's eyes, with plump wontons floating in it, the soup was clear and flavorful, and the coriander and green onion were dotted in the middle, which made people swallow saliva secretly.

"The shrimp stuffing, at a glance, you can see that it is the craftsmanship of the mother."

Lao Zhu sighed: "Now you are the only one who has a blessing, the queen hasn't made wontons for a long time, give me a few tastes." As he spoke, he handed over the meal ticket he had just given.

Ma Du protected the sea bowl with both hands, "This is not in the academy, the meal ticket is useless, if the emperor wants to eat, there will be a chance in the future." ”

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "It seems that the meal ticket is not only useful in the academy, I saw a student from the academy at the temple fair today, and I used it as money." ”

"Which bastard is ruining the reputation of the academy again, the emperor told Weichen that he would strip this shameless guy naked and show it to the public in the academy when he turned around."

Ma Dajia spat and said, "Nonsense! ”

"Uncle, leave that student alone, my father wants to know how the academy's meal ticket can be used as money."

Ma Du was shocked and swallowed half of the wonton in his mouth without chewing it, it hurt for a while, snatched half a bowl of herbal tea in Ma Dajia's hand and drank it into his stomach, it was good, and he opened his mouth and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to issue treasure money?" ”

"Treasure money? This name is good, it's called treasure money! Lao Zhu patted the table and told me, "How did this meal ticket be used as money?" ”

"Didn't the emperor have the income of the city and the silver produced by the silver minerals of the country, so the treasury has no money."

Lao Zhu nodded and said: "In the past few years, the imperial court has used troops everywhere, when has the money been enough, and which army has not reached out to the imperial court to ask for a lot of money and food except for the navy." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, if they don't ask you for money and food in the future, then it will be troublesome."

"Haha...... This is true, back then, Song Gaozong tightened his waist and did not give Yue Wumu the right to raise his own grain and grass, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control him. ”

Ma Du Zhengse said: "I heard that the tax revenue of the city is now nearly twice as long as it was at the beginning, you have to do a big thing to save for four or five years, and you don't need to increase the burden of the people, this treasure banknote is better not to be issued." ”

"I still have a few more years to go, and I now have a powerful army in my hands that has never been seen in previous dynasties, but I have to watch Xiao Xiao on the side but can't clean it up. Originally, I thought that Naha would remember that the kindness that I had let him go back then would lead the troops to surrender,

How do you know that he has been delaying for a long time and still has no eyes with the Mengyuan court, and last year he also accepted the prince of the Mengyuan court. ”

Looking at Lao Zhu's bearded and glaring eyes, it is estimated that he has a lot of hatred for Naha, and it turns out that he has not beaten Naha because he has no money.

Zhu Biao said to Ma Du: "Uncle, I think the method that my father thinks is feasible, and Song Shi also has a son, if it can issue treasure money, it is a good thing for the imperial court, but my father and I don't know how to operate, and my uncle knows the economy best and please give me advice." ”
