Zhu Zhanyong felt that he was a very pure person, a person who was free from the low-level interest, and was useless to the Ming Dynasty and could only sit and eat and wait for death!

So he recently fell in love with studying food. Whenever he had time, he went to the kitchen of the academy to help the kitchen. He even started frying a few dishes. Unfortunately, the taste was too bad and he was driven out.

The academy will never be particularly eye-catching because of your identity. This can be seen in the semi-school state of potatoes and peace.

Tudou has the style of a big brother and always protects peace in the academy, which makes Zhu Zhanyong feel a little heartbroken.

Zhu Zhanji is far away in Jinling, and he is not very interested in his younger brother. He always feels that the mistake he made back then was too much.

The prince is not bad either!

Zhu Zhanyong, who was kicked out of the kitchen again, comforted himself, and then saw Potato and Peace.

Potato is very responsible in distributing food, and the targets are Ping An and Yue Baoguo.

Yue Baoguo is older than them, but he is just greedy. In addition, he wants to protect the safety of the two young men of the mountain captain in the academy, so most of 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 and said, "The person who sees them will have a share."

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

Potato and Ping'an are still young and do not seek progress when going to school, so Zhang Shuhui ordered the kitchen to prepare some snacks every day. On the one hand, they are to make friends with classmates, and on the other hand, they are healthy and need to supplement some food before lunch.

Tudou glanced at him and frowned and said, "You went to the kitchen to steal food, don't give it!"

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

Tudou looked at him with contempt and said, "You just want to go and eat it, give it to me!"

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

Ping'an tilted his head and said, "Prince, you ate two bowls of noodles for breakfast, just as much as Yue Baoguo ate."

Yue Baoguo straightened his chest and swallowed the cake in his mouth. After a moment of stuttering, he said, "But I practice martial arts. I practice martial arts every day. The mountain leader said that those who practice martial arts should eat more, otherwise their bodies will become weak."

The implication of this is that Zhu Zhanyong would eat so much without practicing martial arts, which is purely a bucket of food.

After eating the hawthorn cake, Zhu Zhanyong clenched his fist with his right hand, felt the stinging pain caused by the broken blisters in his palm, and smiled and said, "I grew a lot last year. According to the academy, I am growing my body."

Ping'an glanced at him, then whispered to Tudou, "Brother, he's lying."

Tudou nodded and said to Zhu Zhanyong dissatisfiedly: "A gentleman is open and honest."

Zhu Zhanyong raised his eyebrows and said, "The villain is always worried."

Tudou didn't like Zhu Zhanyong, so he frowned and said, "Let's go."

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

He no longer needed to listen to every class, so Xie Jin also acquiesced to choose the course himself.

Xie Jin looked at Zhu Zhanyong going to the dormitory outside the door of his office, frowned and said, "It would be a problem for Prince Zhanyong not to return to the palace. If Dehua hadn't objected, I would have to drive him out."

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

Lu Changbo took the lesson plan to go to the classroom. Hearing this, he came out and said, "Mr. Jie, Prince Zhanyong is not allowed to go anywhere now, so he can only stay in the academy. However, he is very conscious now and knows that it cannot affect the homework of other students, so he should bear it."

Xie Jin snorted coldly and then returned to the office.

...

Most of the students in the academy have two people in the same dormitory, and only Zhu Zhanyong is the only one, and the area is quite large.

A bed, a small bookcase, and a set of tables and chairs. This is the layout of the room.

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

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

Slowly, there was more breathing in the room, and the long sword became more and more powerless.

When Zhu Zhanyong finally put down the knife, the blisters on the palm of his hand were already bleeding.

"hiss!"

Zhu Zhanyong found a medicine powder to cover it, then took the long knife back to the back of the bookcase before resting.

After the breathing stopped, he took a sip of cold tea and started reading.

The sunlight outside the window gradually heated up the room, but Zhu Zhanyong looked at the book in his hand forgotly and wrote 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 were paying attention to the next move of the Ministry of Revenue.

But the Ministry of Revenue did not take action, as if this investigation was just to capture Huang Lin.

So his eyes turned to the big mansion again.

In the big house, Fang Xing was walking with Mochou, asking his brother to fall behind and eat melon seeds.

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

The sun was getting bigger, Fang Xing helped Mochou walk back and suddenly asked, "What do you think land is for a family?"

Mo Chou looked at him in surprise, smiled and said, "Master, it's the lifeblood of his life!"

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Yes! The life root can be passed on to the life root of the son and grandson."

The three farmers who had taken action were caught when they wanted to take a boat to find a shelter on the island.

It is said that they were quite calm when they were arrested, but after being sent to the Ministry of Justice, they changed their color and cried and shouted for justice.

...

"It is not advisable to do it rashly, it will be a mess!"

Since Fang Xing’s medicine was effective, Quan Jin has been a little better with him, so when there were rumors outside, he came to find Fang Xing.

Fang Xing looked at the coffee table and looked up and said, "Master Quan is not easy to move, so he can't move rashly, otherwise there will be chaos in the south, and the north will follow."

Quan Jin said with relief: "It's good that you know. Those people want to be the best when they study. How can they be the best without the land? This is breaking their lifeline!"

Seeing Fang Xing's face calm, Quan Jin advised: "Without the land and the business cannot be done, it means there is no money or no one. If there is no money, it is embarrassing; if there is no one, you have to wash clothes and cook and clean yourself. It is not easy!"

Fang Xing nodded, shook his head slightly and said, "They are actually the officials below, but the state has no restrictions on them, only preferential treatment. This is to raise a group of people with duty-free and labor-free... Since they are not easy to move, they should either take off the firewood from the bottom of the pot!"

Quan Jin was stunned and asked, "What does it mean?"

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

Fang Xing did not hide it from him and said, "I think the best way is to cancel the privilege of serving scholars and exempting taxes, and then immigrate to the outside world and use a large amount of low-cost and long-term tax exemption land to attract landless farmers, so that the wave of donations can naturally disappear."

Quan Jin shook his head and said, "But you neglected the issue of the people's unwillingness to stay away from their hometown. Can you force them to migrate then? That's 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, "Sir Quan, then you can only directly cancel the preferential treatment of scholars, and then those farmers can report to the officials to request the return of their own land."

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

Quan Jin's hair was gray and frowned. He looked at Fang Xing and said, feeling that he was a little immature. He was worried that Fang Xing would be very angry, so he calmed down and said, "Since the Song Dynasty, preferential treatment of scholars was a national policy. As for this dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao also asked local officials to take care of those scholars from poor families, but... it became chaotic later, and the accusation could not be too correct!"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Quan, this matter is ultimately a preferential treatment. If you go, scholars will make trouble, 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 is a disaster."

After saying that, he bowed his hands and left, Quan Jin pondered in the spot.

"Sad? How about the disaster?"

"Number of people!"

Fang Xing's voice came, Quan Jin was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
Chapter completed!
