Chapter 89 I am actually an ordinary person too

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the wind and snow gradually subsided.

Xia Yuan sat at the stone table in the courtyard and blew the foam on the tea. He was now more and more able to appreciate the joy of drinking tea. The specific method was to add sugar.

Especially in this weather, a cup of sweet hot tea will warm your whole body.

Hearing the footsteps crunching on the snow in the yard, with a hint of wind and fire, Xia Yuan knew who it was without raising his head.

"Your senior brother is not here today, so we have a day off from school."

"Class break?"

"Ang, he came home to visit." Xia Yuan raised his eyes and saw the obvious anger on this boy's face. He couldn't help but said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, with an angry look on his face, and sat down on the chair next to Xia Yuan, "Master, do you know the news that the army will return to the court?"

"What army? Where did the army come from?"

"It's the one led by Duke Zhu Hui."

"Oh, I don't know."

"Do you know that the Tatars invaded the border a few months ago?"

"This. I know." After thinking for a few seconds, Xia Yuan quickly got the impression. He remembered that he had just crossed over at that time, and when he came to the capital for a walk out of curiosity, he did hear someone talking about the news about the Tatar invasion.

.

"A few months ago, the Tatars invaded the border. Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, led tens of thousands of people on the expedition. The result was, oh, you incompetent rats. They went on the expedition for several months and did not get much credit. They also allowed the Tatars to march straight into Guanzhong. It's really true.

hateful!

What’s even more abominable is that I, the current emperor, don’t punish the guilty, but actually reward more than 200 people.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao was already gnashing his teeth. That bitch Baoguo Gong was so enviable when he led a large army on an expedition, but he came back with such a record.

If I am the commander-in-chief of the army this time, I must have sealed the wolf in Xu by now.

"Master, tell me, is the current emperor a coward?"

"."

Xia Yuan silently, why don't you discuss such a fatal topic with me?

I had long expected that this unlucky boy would trick his master one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yuanqiang smiled and said, "In this way, if you go out and turn right, walk a few dozen steps and you will see an alley. If you go in along the alley entrance, you will see an intersection after passing through the alley. There are people there.

If there are more, there will definitely be someone willing to discuss this topic with you."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of the courtyard gate, and said with some astonishment: "The streets are full of ordinary people, how can I tell them this? It will scare them."

"???"

Damn it!

Xia Yuan almost got up and slapped him in the face.

He is the prince, he is the prince.

Silently reminding him of this guy's identity, Xia Yuan finally suppressed the urge to slap him in the face, and after taking several deep breaths, he asked in a calm tone: "Then do you want to

Is there such a possibility that I am actually an ordinary citizen?"

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment. This question may have touched his soul.

After thinking for a while, he said: "How can the master be an ordinary person? You are an expert who lives in seclusion in the city."

Xia Yuan was right when he thought about it. He was an expert who was hiding in the city. He was so tall!

"Okay, you came here today just to talk to me about this?"

"Of course not, I'm here to practice."

"Oh, you can go back now. I have a day off from school today."

"Why are classes on break?"

"Because your senior brother is not here, he has gone home to find his father. You can also go home to find your father, and then discuss with him the question you just asked. I think your father will be happy to answer it for you."

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a while and said leisurely: "I have asked."

In fact, as soon as he learned the news of the reward, he ran to Emperor Hongzhi and made a loud noise, preparing to scold this foolish emperor.

As a result, he was kicked out after just saying a few words. Not to mention, that fool also extorted most of the remaining box of walnuts from him.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he had paid a lot for Jiangshan Sheji, not only his hard work, but also his money.

Application question: If two walnuts can be exchanged for a house, how much silver is worth half a box of walnuts?

——————————————————————

In the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Xiao Jing was also facing this arithmetic problem.

He tearfully accepted the dozen walnuts given by Emperor Hongzhi two days ago. He dug out some of the personal money he had saved over the years and priced one walnut at 300 taels, totaling more than 5,000 taels.

Eunuch Xiao was careful enough to send the money two days later, thus creating the illusion that he sent people to the market to sell walnuts.

Emperor Hongzhi accepted the white money without politeness, and then ordered people to carry out the half-frame of walnuts, and ordered Xiao Banban to sell these as well. It was still three hundred taels a piece, which was more. It's yours.

Looking at the large half box of walnuts, Xiao Jing felt that his head was confused for a while. One piece was three hundred taels, and there were at least hundreds of them here.

Doesn’t this cost more than thirty thousand taels?

Zhu Youtang just leaned on the brocade and silently turned over the book. The atmosphere in the hall was a little quiet for a while. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Jing, and asked with some confusion: "Xiao Banban, why are you not there today?" It was so fun last time, but these walnuts are not easy to sell now? "

Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said: "I don't dare to deceive the emperor. There are too many walnuts. It is really not easy to sell them. I expect that I will not be able to find so many buyers in a short period of time."

"oh"

Zhu Youtang nodded slightly and continued to flip through the book in silence. As he was flipping through the book, a sentence suddenly popped up:

"Is it because you can't find a buyer, or your harvest over the years is not enough to buy these walnuts?"
