Chapter 16 What is it like to be held captive in prison?
In front of Zhu Ming, he boasted.
Lin Che did not interrupt him. After Zhu Xi finished speaking, she took the wine bottle, poured herself a drink, and said lightly:
"Are you done?"
"Well, let me analyze for you why the current emperor promulgated the policy of 'emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business'."
"The emperor today promulgated the policy of 'emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business' for three reasons:"
"First, as you said, focusing on agriculture and suppressing business is a policy passed down from past dynasties, which is in line with the orthodox thinking of the dynasty."
"Secondly, a large number of businessmen are traveling around to acquire wealth, which is equivalent to a refugee population and creates instability in society."
"Thirdly, businessmen are running around, making it difficult for the court to manage, and they can't even find anyone to collect taxes. In the eyes of the emperor, these businessmen are just a bunch of worthless social worms."
Upon hearing Lin Che's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side of the wall nodded repeatedly.
He secretly praised in his heart, this kid is simply a worm in his stomach? This analysis is exactly the same as what he had in mind when he formulated the policy of "emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business".
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, agriculture is an important source of national finance and the foundation of social stability.
To ensure agricultural development and economic recovery, there must be a sufficient number of agricultural labor.
Therefore, it is necessary to appease farmers and prevent population migration.
Businessmen pursue profit by any means necessary.
It sucks the blood of the country at the top and sucks the marrow of the people at the bottom.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally experienced the turmoil at the end of the previous dynasty, and was well aware of the ugly faces of some big businessmen, and he did not have a good impression of them.
Also, businessmen were running around chasing profits from the people, which became a destabilizing factor for the dynasty.
Although the merchants were rich, they were traveling around and it was difficult to provide tax revenue for the court.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the existence of businessmen only brought harm to the court, but no benefit.
……
opposite.
Having said this, Lin Che drank the wine in one gulp.
Then he leaned lazily on the chair and lowered his eyelids.
I drank a little too much today and felt sleepy.
Seeing Lin Che dozing off on the chair, Zhu Ping quickly walked around the table and pushed Lin Che: "Sir, please don't sleep. We are only halfway through the lecture. Keep talking!"
"When you finish speaking, I will arrange for someone to serve you."
but.
At this moment, Lin Che was feeling sleepy and couldn't open her eyes at all.
"I talked too much today, it makes my head hurt!"
"Think about it for yourself, review and review, and we'll talk about it tomorrow...tomorrow."
"Oh, sir..."
Zhu Xi shook Lin Che and wanted to continue asking.
But when he saw Lin Che leaning on the chair, her whole body slumped down, she couldn't teach at all.
Zhu Ping reluctantly took back his hand:
"Okay, sir, please rest first, we will teach again tomorrow!"
At this moment, Zhu Xi regarded Lin Che as his teacher, even more respecting him than the great scholars in the university hall.
Lin Che was seen lying on the chair, looking uncomfortable.
Zhu Ping called for a jailer.
Together, they helped Lin Che to their low couch.
After Lin Che lay down, Zhu Ming took out a tael of silver from his body and told the jailer:
"Brother, caretaker, please help me find a boy outside who knows how to hold the rock. My friend drank too much and is tired. He wants someone to relax his muscles and bones."
"Easy to say, easy to say. I will help you find it now."
In the imperial prison, Captain Mao Xiang had already greeted him inside.
Whatever requests this master has, you must obey them unconditionally.
Although the jailer didn't know where this man came from.
However, his immediate superior, Mao Xiang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Pro-Army Command, gave such orders, so the origin must be significant.
Even the warden in the imperial prison nodded and bowed when he saw this man.
They, the jailers, had very few opportunities to talk to this man.
It is a great honor to be able to help this man.
After taking the broken silver, the jailer smiled happily, bowed and ran out smoothly.
Soon.
A young man on stilts dressed in crisp clothes was brought into the prison cell by the jailer.
Seeing the boy holding the rocker being brought in, Zhu Fang ordered: "You, take good care of this man, and the Za family will be rewarded heavily!"
The boy was confused.
He thought he was doing some legwork for some prison warden.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a prisoner.
And this prisoner is still so arrogant.
What kind of plot is this? However, this young man was also well-informed and quickly accepted the waiter agreed and quickly stepped forward to straighten Lin Che's curled up body.
Shit massage is the ancient term for massage.
This young boy is a master of rock-tilts and often does rock-tilts for the officials. He knows how to serve these elders.
It was his first time to press stilts for prisoners in the imperial prison.
However, since I have money to earn, I still try my best to press it.
"Well, yes, yes, that's right there."
"Oh, this technique is really comfortable."
On the bed, Lin Che closed her eyes and enjoyed the service of the waiter, with a relaxed look on her face.
This technique is comparable to the blind massage in the previous life.
I didn't expect that being in jail would bring such benefits. This trip to the Ming Dynasty was worth it.
"Come comfortable, sir. It's hard to give lectures. As a student, there is nothing to repay. I can only let you eat well and drink well, and feel comfortable."
Zhu Xi, who was standing next to the bed, watched happily.
Lin Che lay on the bed with her eyes closed and hummed comfortably.
"It's good to have money. Being in jail is so comfortable!"
Lin Che turned over, lay down on the bed, and let the little boy massage her back with a comfortable look on her face.
To be honest, this prison is simply not too beautiful.
Staying in the prison every day, you don't have to worry about anything. You only need to accompany the noble second generation in front of you, brag and point out the country, and the day passes like this.
In a few days, the time for the Queen of Autumn's beheading will come, and the emperor's decree will be announced.
Click!
The head fell to the ground.
You will be able to travel through the Ming Dynasty, return to your previous life, and return to your modern life.
What the hell!
Why do you suddenly feel nostalgic for this kind of life? Lin Che thought drowsily, feeling more and more sleepy, and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Sir? Sir?"
Looking at Lin Che who had fallen asleep peacefully, Zhu Ping's eyes brightened.
"Such a talented man who knows the world is simply a waste of natural resources just to be trapped in prison like this!"
"Now the Huaixi Group and the Zhedong Group are fighting endlessly in the court. Those nobles who conquered the country with my father are sitting on their credit books and causing trouble for my father."
"My father works from dawn to dusk every day to review the memorials. It's not because there are no available people in the court!"
"No, we must save Mr. Lin!"
Brow wrinkled slightly.
With a look of determination flashing in his eyes, Zhu Ping turned around and told the jailer:
"Prepare some pen and ink for me..."
separated by a wall.
"This is the end?"
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Lin Che's analysis of his own policy of 'emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business' to Zhu Xi, and what he said was clear and logical. He pricked up his ears and prepared to listen carefully.
Unexpectedly, Lin Che was drunk at this time.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhu Xiang busy with Lin Che next door.
He even found a little boy who could stand up for Lin Che.
Zhu Yuanzhang was both angry and funny.
This bastard, the second brother, really changed his character while sitting in the imperial prison.
When had I ever seen him so attentive in the palace?
Please hold your feet. When have you ever been so attentive to your mother and me? Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair and curled his lips.
At the same time, I felt unfinished.
It can be said that Lin Che's analysis of the policy of 'emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business' that she formulated was accurate at all.
While Zhu Yuanzhang was curious, he was also looking forward to how Lin Che would refute the policy of "emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business".
Unexpectedly, the other party stopped suddenly.
Frustrated!
Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling.
I listened for a while longer until bursts of snoring came from the other side.
"Let's go back!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to say to Prince Zhu Biao, who was listening attentively with a pen: "Go back, it seems this kid won't wake up for a while."
"Go back and sort out the records of the past two days and use them tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Father."
Zhu Biao stood up and sorted out the records.
Leave the imperial edict with Lao Zhu.
