Chapter 65: Willing to Gamble
Chapter 65: I wish to accept the loss
"Grandpa, try it. I made three dishes, and your grandson made three dishes. Which one is delicious, give us a review."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang activate his chopsticks, Hu Keer added: "Grandpa must be fair and cannot speak to his grandson."
"Okay, okay, we must be fair."
Zhu Yuanzhang tasted everything.
Looking at Hu Keer who was expecting, he thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, it's all delicious."
"Grandpa, I don't like this..." Hu Ke'er was coquettish, but she was not displeased at all.
"Okay, let's have a meal."
Zhu Ye had no choice but to Hu Keer.
However, Hu Keer's cooking skills really made Zhu Ye look at him with admiration. Seeing Hu Keer's appearance, he was still a daughter-in-law.
I didn't expect that I was good at frying and cooking.
Hu Ke'er was not polite either. She sat down and prepared good dishes for Zhu Yuanzhang first, and then she started to eat.
When Zhu Ye's dish was in his mouth, Hu Keer was shocked: "This is too delicious."
Realizing that he was shocked and said it, Hu Keer's face turned red with naked eyes.
"Hahaha."
Zhu Ye couldn't help but laughed: "Are you willing to accept the loss?"
"Don't admit defeat...Mine is not bad either. If you don't believe me, please try it."
Hu Keer picked up the dishes she had cooked and put them into Zhu Ye's bowl.
Zhu Ye was not polite, but after eating, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
As a modern person, it is understandable that I have good skills. After all, I use a lot more seasonings than Hu Keer.
He didn't expect that as an ancient man, this girl's craftsmanship was so superb, which was really unexpected.
"I lost, you made it better than me."
Zhu Ye admitted defeat with ease.
"Well, just give up and give me the bet later."
Hu Keer obviously enjoyed Zhu Ye's concedespair.
"good."
Zhu Ye nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them and always felt that he was fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason.
The meal ended happily.
Hu Ke'er burped with satisfaction, and suddenly realized that she was embarrassed in front of others. She immediately covered her face and did not dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ye.
"Hahaha, it seems that the girl is full."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all, but was even more satisfied with Hu Keer's unpretentious personality.
It seems that he really chose the right person. The more he looks at this girl, the more satisfied he is.
"It's getting late, I...I have to go back..." Hu Ke'er was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear on the spot. Why did she always feel embarrassed in front of Zhu Ye?
"Go and see the girl."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly at Jiang Yan and ordered.
"etc."
Zhu Ye called out Hu Ke'er, who was about to get up, turned around and went into the room, took out the jade hairpin that he had not sent out last time, and handed it to Hu Ke'er.
"I'm willing to accept the loss and bet for you."
Zhu Ye looked calm.
"This...I can't accept it."
Hu Ke'er's face turned redder. Why did Zhu Ye still give her a jade hairpin? Do you know the meaning of giving her a jade hairpin?
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to see this.
This man gave a woman a hairpin, which means that he wanted the woman.
It seems that my grandson is very satisfied with the wife he chose for him, and he has given all the jade hairpins.
"You can take it for you, girl."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke for Zhu Ye, took the jade hairpin from Zhu Ye's hand and stuffed it into Hu Keer's hand.
"Then, I'll go back first.
Goodbye grandpa.”
Hu Ke'er held the jade hairpin in her hand, her cheeks were red, and she made a face at Zhu Ye, and ran out almost like she ran away.
When Zhu Ye saw Hu Keer running out, he frowned slightly: "Why does this girl blush at any time?"
Zhu Yuanzhang kicked the incompetent grandson after hearing this: "You have a lot of things to do, do you think others are as shameless as you?"
The little brat has expressed his feelings to the girl, but the girl is not excited and blushing?
"Xing, Xing, what grandpa said is what he said."
Zhu Ye rubbed his butt and quickly agreed.
"All right, we have to go back too.
You can do it at home by yourself, don’t stay at home all day long, and find some serious things to do.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood. After giving instructions to Zhu Ye, he took Jiang Yan back to the palace.
"What kind of serious business is done? Whoever does the serious business every day? I'm not the emperor."
Zhu Ye murmured in a low voice at Zhu Yuanzhang's back.
Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang left, Liu Sanwu took a car to Zhu Ye's door.
He had searched for Zhu Ye's original residence before, and waited for no one, so he went to the salt mine. Ma Sanbao told Zhu Ye to change his residence.
Then he came over with the new address.
"Mr. Liu."
Knowing that Liu Sanwu was visiting, Zhu Ye quickly came out.
After all, Liu Sanwu is a big shot. Although he is polite and kind, Zhu Ye is not a person without etiquette.
After taking Liu Sanwu into the yard, Zhu Ye asked directly: "Mr. Liu has something to come to me?"
"Mr. I am really confused and want to teach me."
Liu Sanwu thought about it at home for many days, but couldn't understand it, so he had to come and look for Zhu Ye.
"Mr. Liu, even if you say it."
Zhu Ye respects Liu Sanwu very much.
"That's right, I heard from the emperor... your grandfather said that the decision to change taxes was proposed by the Langjun."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide the tax change from Liu Sanwu. After all, it needs to be implemented. Zhu Yuanzhang needs a lot of opinions to decide whether to promote it.
So Liu Sanwu knew that this plan was proposed by Zhu Ye.
After thinking carefully for many days, Liu Sanwu still felt that it was very feasible, but there were still many problems, and he didn't understand it very well.
So I decided to ask Zhu Ye to explain it clearly.
"What the Langjun said is the issue of raising commercial tax."
"If the business tax is raised, will the merchant complain?"
Liu Sanwu asked his own questions directly.
"No, to be honest, Lord Liu doesn't go to business and doesn't know how considerable the profits of merchants are. Even if it's better to improve the water supply, it's just a drop in the bucket for merchants."
"But if this is the case, it is equivalent to admitting the identity of a businessman.
But what if farmers abandon farmers and go to business because of this reason?”
Liu Sanwu was still very worried.
After all, the Ming Dynasty mainly relied on these farmers to farm and grow grain. If everyone generally went to business and no one went to farm again, wouldn’t the Ming people starve to death?
“So we need to reduce the agricultural tax accordingly.
After the agricultural tax is reduced, naturally no one will abandon farmers and go to business."
"The two complement each other and are indispensable."
Zhu Ye explained patiently.
"So that's it. The words of the husband woke up the dreamer, and he was getting stuck in the slightest way."
Liu Sanwu suddenly realized.
What he was thinking about was actually very simple, but he just walked into a dead end and was just a mystery to the authorities.
