Chapter 50

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, without any intention of stopping. Overnight, the entire earth was covered with a layer of snow-white coat.

Zhu Ye got up early in the morning and arranged for the meal with Ma Sanbao.

As a result, just as he was about to ask his grandfather to get up and eat, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face heavy expression and hurried out of the door.

"Grandpa, where are you going?

Don't have to eat?"

Zhu Ye looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with frowning and asked in confusion.

"I'm back."

Concise and to the point, Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop and hurriedly left with Jiang Yan.

Zhu Ye had never seen his grandfather so worried. He didn't know why his grandfather suddenly became like this.

His eyes fell on the white snow outside the door, and Zhu Ye's eyes were deep.

But as night fell, the heavy snow did not stop at all, and Zhu Ye seemed to have some sudden enlightenment.

"If the snow continues like this, it will be a disaster."

Ma Sanbao looked at the deep snow outside the door and lamented.

"What did you say?"

Zhu Ye was stunned and said to Ma Sanbao.

"I...I said that if this snow falls like this, it will cause disaster."

Ma Sanbao didn't know where he said it wrong, so he repeated his words.

"By the way, it's because of this."

Zhu Ye slapped his forehead suddenly and realized why his grandfather was so worried.

"The army will go on a war soon. It will snow at this time. It would be fine if it stopped in time. If it continues like this, it would not be a good thing."

Zhu Ye thought for a long time and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in Fengtian Hall, was even more worried.

At present, although Zhu Yuanzhang had the idea of ​​implementing new taxes, it had not yet been implemented in detail.

Therefore, the main taxes of the Ming Dynasty relied on agricultural tax.

In this way, if the snow continues for days and snow accumulates, the agricultural tax will definitely reduce taxes due to the disaster, or be exempted directly.

However, this kind of behavior is fine in the past. Now the army is about to set off. If it encounters a snow disaster, it will not only be difficult to march.

The treasury will be emptied if the grain supply and demand are collected. If there is no supply and there is a disaster caused by the snow, it will be a big trouble.

Especially when the previous flood problem was solved, even with Zhu Ye's proposal, the people were allowed to join the ranks of controlling floods.

But it only reduced the expenditure of the treasury, and with the corresponding support, the treasury still provided some.

The treasury actually has not much silver at its disposal.

It is already barely enough to supply military supplies, if the snow continues...

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.

It's really like a rainy night... nothing can make him feel good.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sighing, but Zhu Yunwen brought a bowl of noodles to the palace to ask for a meeting.

"Your Highness, go back. The emperor is in a bad mood today and will not see you."

Huang Gou'er persuaded.

"No, I must see Grandpa Emperor today."

Zhu Yunwen whispered in a low voice, turning a blind eye to Huang Gou'er's persuasion.

He just heard today that Grandpa Emperor actually stayed outside the palace yesterday, so how could he not be anxious?

You don’t have to think about where Grandpa Huang stayed overnight and slept.

When Zhu Yunwen thought of his grandfather being with that bastard Zhu Ye, he felt so angry that his teeth were itchy.

Now Huang Gou'er's kind persuasion sounded like a kind of irony in Zhu Yunwen's ears, and the knife hit his pain points.

He is just a eunuch, but now he dares to persuade himself.

Zhu Yunwen never took the yellow dog seriously, although Lu told him that the yellow dog was of great use more than once.

However, for Zhu Yunwen, he did not like Huang Gouer's actions at all. Even though Huang Gouer was working for him, Zhu Yunwen looked down on Huang Gouer's actions as a seller who wanted honor.

Huang Gou'er sighed slightly, knowing that he could not persuade Zhu Yunwen, thinking that this emperor's grandson was really young, and he was not as good as his mother, Lu, who knew how to go forward and retreat.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, the yellow dog could only enter the house to spread it.

"Let him come in."

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried and had no idea at this time, so he didn't want to see Zhu Yunwen.

But thinking about Zhu Ye’s insights that can make him suddenly understand every time.

I thought to myself that Zhu Yunwen's arrival might allow him to listen to Zhu Yunwen's opinion.

Maybe you can provide yourself with some new ideas, and you can't tell whether you get out of the current predicament.

Zhu Yunwen was happy to get permission and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang still liked him.

With a look at the yellow dog, Zhu Yunwen walked into the hall as if showing off.

When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen presented the bowl of noodles in his hand like he offered treasures: "I heard that Grandpa Emperor didn't eat much, so my grandson personally put down the bowl of noodles. I hope Grandpa Emperor will not dislike it, so I will use some."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the face handed over by Zhu Yunwen, and although he didn't like his grandson, he was still worried about such trivial matters at such a time.

But this was also Zhu Yunwen's intention. Zhu Yuanzhang still ate a few bites symbolically, but he felt that he could not waste food, so he had to ate the noodles cleanly.

Zhu Yunwen was even more happy when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's actions. It seemed that Grandpa Huang still recognized his skills and finished all the noodles.

He thought about it and ate all the noodles without any taste. Zhu Yuanzhang put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Zhu Yunwen: "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what grandson should do, so you don't have to be polite to Grandpa and grandson."

Zhu Yunwen was so happy.

For him, every word of praise Zhu Yuanzhang now is an affirmation of himself.

He definitely won't let his elder brother... no, he doesn't admit that the man is his elder brother.

He would not let Zhu Ye's limelight overshadow himself and occupy the position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

"It took a lot of effort for my grandson to do it many times before I succeeded."

"The first time my grandson made noodles, I made this bowl of noodles with glossy flour and two pots.

I used three chickens to simmer this bowl of soup.”

Zhu Yunwen quickly took advantage of the victory and attacked, took the opportunity to seek credit, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with compliment.
