Qiming 1158

Chapter 980 Don't get too close to the people of Ming Dynasty

Hearing what Wang Qi said, Lu You was speechless in shock, his mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Wang Qi's words were not finished yet.

He saw Lu You's shocked appearance, and planned to give Lu You the last blow.

He organized his speech.

"Da Ming, under His Majesty's leadership, started a war against such a situation. After untold hardships, he replaced this situation with the peasant association system. His Majesty led the court to stand on the side of the peasants, calling on the peasants to rebel against the landlords and uproot the landlords and gentry. The peasant associations spread all over the country.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty controlled all farmers and land through the peasant association, and the tax-paying population greatly increased. In this way, even if the tax on a single farmer was greatly reduced or exempted, in terms of total amount, the total tax amount still far exceeded the previous dynasty.

Not only that, because the imperial court received less money, as long as the farmers planted more, they would get more in the end, so farmers were very active in production.

So, Deputy Envoy Lu, do you think Daming will have no money?No, the Daming system guarantees that as long as this situation continues, the Daming court will never be short of money, and the peasants will never be hungry.

They can eat three main meals, all of which are dry. They can also eat meat during the festivals, and they can buy some things they want to eat, candy, fruit, and can buy a little of these things that they were afraid to eat in the past. Eat and eat. "

Lu You only felt that his body was a little numb, and his head was blank.

This feeling has not been over for a long time. He vaguely remembered that the last time this happened was when his mother forced him to divorce his ex-wife Tang Wan.

At that time, his body was also numb, his head was blank, and he didn't know what to do.

But the last time was for a private matter, and this time it was a business one.

Is Wang Qi lying to him?

Lu You looked at Wang Qi's expression, and looked at him with a frenzied expression in his excitement.

This is not an emotion a liar can display.

If he's lying, he must be a top lie master, and someone like that shouldn't be just that.

It can only be said that there are still many such people in the Ming Kingdom, and there are many, many people like Wang Qi. They fill the upper and lower levels of the court, making the court extremely powerful.

And what they do is true.

This kind of thing really happened on this land. Because of their hard work and struggle, the peasants of Ming country are living a life he never expected.

The peasants of Ming Dynasty are becoming happy.

Lu You couldn't doubt it, unless he really saw a picture that didn't belong to this situation, then he would doubt it.

However, Lu You suddenly realized that he was willing to believe that what Wang Qi said was true from the bottom of his heart.

If Wang Qi's words are true, then it means that everything Su Yonglin wrote in "Hong Wuzheng Lun" is also true, and everything is true.

Because of the eradication of the landlord and gentry class, the Ming Dynasty was able to develop to this point.

That's why the Ming Kingdom is so strong!
And all this...

It was completely different from what the Southern Song Dynasty officially declared, and it was also different from what most of them were willing to believe.

What Chen Kangbo and Yu Yunwen believed was that all this was false, a lie deliberately fabricated by the Ming Kingdom.

But if all this is true...

Lu You suddenly felt his mouth dry and a little excited.

He also wanted to know more, to know more about the Ming Kingdom.

"Can you tell me more about the Ming Kingdom? Of course, if you don't think it's appropriate, you don't have to say it, you can just say something that is not so important."

Lu You expressed his desire.

Wang Qi smiled.

"Of course, let's talk about this inn."

"Station?"

"Yes, the post station is mainly prepared by the imperial court for officials who go on errands. Of course, some long-distance business travelers can also stay in the post station with a guide, but the imperial court bears the cost of staying in the imperial court, and the long-distance business travel is at their own expense.

At the very beginning, His Majesty carried out a wave of rectification of the inn, stipulating the functions and daily consumption limits of the inn. One soup, four dishes and one soup, etc. The highest level is four dishes and one soup, there are no more.

In the beginning, the cooking level of the cooks in the post station was different. Some chefs in the post station cook delicious food, and everyone likes to eat it. Some chefs in the post station are so poor in cooking that no one wants to eat it. To this end, a map was organized, marking the stations where all the delicious cooks are located. "

"Is there such a thing?"

Lu You couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah, this thing really happened."

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Afterwards, due to the collective reaction of the officials, His Majesty decided to initiate a reform and send all the incompetent cooks in the inn to the army to practice cooking skills with the old fireheads in the army.

The old fireheads in the army are very good at cooking. His Majesty's royal chefs are all selected from the old fireheads of the army. After a period of training, these cooks are allowed to return to their original posts, and then they cook delicious food. a lot.

This is a good thing. The officials who are on business trips will no longer be troubled by the problem of eating. For this, everyone is very grateful to Your Majesty. This is one, and there is a very interesting thing, that is..."

Wang Qi spoke while Lu You listened.

Speaking of interesting places, Lu You couldn't help but laugh.

When it comes to serious places, Lu You will also be very serious.

When it comes to what Lu You finds incredible, he will ask Wang Qi to speak more carefully, listen to him repeatedly, and come to his own conclusions.

Until midnight, Lu You apologized to Wang Qi with apology, saying that he had delayed his rest.

Wang Qi shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, Deputy Ambassador Lu and I have the same interests, and it was very pleasant to talk with Deputy Ambassador Lu. I hope that there will be such an opportunity in the future. If Deputy Ambassador Lu wants to know, I know everything."

"If so, thank you so much."

Lu You smiled and said, "It's been a long night. I thought I didn't want to sleep. With your honesty, I think I should be able to fall asleep."

The two said goodbye and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

With inexplicable excitement, Lu You prepared to return to his room to rest.

After listening to a lot of things about the Ming Kingdom, Lu You felt that he could understand many things in "Hongwu Political Theory" that he couldn't understand.

He felt that he gradually understood how difficult and dangerous what Su Yonglin was doing, and how persevering Su Yonglin was doing it.

He kept telling himself not to easily believe what others said, but because what he told was too true, he couldn't convince himself not to believe it.

He felt that he had to find an opportunity to go to the people of the Ming Kingdom to see the real situation in person. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, he must see it with his own eyes.

Whether all of this is true, what Ming Guo did is wrong, and whether so many people died out of absolute justice, he must see it with his own eyes.

With this thought in mind, he went up to the second floor, but at the corner of the stairs, he saw Yu Yunwen who was standing there looking at him with inexplicable eyes.

"Yu Gong, you..."

"Wuguan, you seem to have a good chat with Mr. Wang?"

"I……"

Lu You panicked for no reason, not knowing how to answer Yu Yunwen's question.

After thinking about it, he felt that he had done nothing wrong. He just chatted with Wang Qi and did not reveal any news about the Southern Song Dynasty. Instead, he got a lot of news about the Ming Kingdom from him.

So he calmed down.

"Your Majesty has explained that I want us to find out more about the real situation of Ming Kingdom. That's why I found Mr. Wang just now, and asked some information about Ming Kingdom."

"Oh, I see?"

Yu Yunwen looked at Lu You deeply, staring at him without speaking.

After a long time, when Lu You felt uncomfortable, Yu Yunwen finally spoke.

"It's good that you can remember your mission. I think you shouldn't make mistakes as a court official. As for the rest... don't get too close to the people of the Ming Kingdom. I'll say it all."

After speaking, Yu Yunwen turned around and left, walked to the door of his room, glanced at Lu You at last, pushed the door open, and entered his room.
