Chapter 633 The minister wants to impeach the prince
Crazy!
The little official was stunned by Ye Hua's words... It turns out that this is the young master who came out of a wealthy family. There is a mine at home, and he doesn't know the sufferings of the people and the difficulties of the people!
Is it easy to grow vegetables?
A month ago, the wind was still biting cold and the ice on the river surface had not melted. The old farmer had to go down to the cold and bone-blooded river to fish for the river mud and fertile fields.
Turning the ground, farming, weeding and insect removal, it is easy to grow, but it also has to work hard to harvest, load the truck, and send it to the capital... After a batch of vegetables are sold, you have to quickly plant new vegetables and start a busy cycle again, without even a half-day rest.
Growing vegetables is much more tiring than growing grain. After a year of busy work, the people are trying to get 20% or 30% more. If they can get 50% higher than growing grain, they can laugh secretly.
The vegetables grown so hard that they were destroyed. Isn’t that a joke about the people’s blood and sweat?
Although it is a rotten vegetable, if you carefully choose, half of it can be eaten, so why should you destroy it?
Do you really think Kaifeng is a paradise on earth?
That’s right, I can’t see beggars over the years, but how many poor people are still in the capital? Not to mention anything else, just the old men and women who sweep the streets every day will almost always go to the vegetable market and pick up some rotten vegetables to cook!
Turning a blind eye to all these things, it is ridiculous to destroy all the dishes with just a light sentence!
The little official grabbed the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass suddenly, and then looked at Ye Hua with contempt, "I should have paid half of the money, I'm sorry, I won't! I don't think you are not the one who is short of money, but I want to remind you for your elders that if you just heard it, you must twist your head off!"
The little official turned around and left, leaving behind a chic back!
Guo Zongxun bit his finger and asked foolishly: "Uncle, is the Marquis he mentioned... the Marquis of the Champion?"
"Hahaha!"
Brother Guo Xing couldn't help it, and laughed with his stomach in his arms. The small restaurant was not big, and the shopkeeper and the client looked here. Ye Hua quickly took a few dollars and put them on the table, and then hurriedly left with the two little guys.
When I got to the street, Brother Guo Xing was still smiling and his stomach hurt!
"Brother, you are so fierce. Why don't you try it? Can you strangle yourself to death?"
"Bah! I'll strangle you to death first!"
Ye Hua grabbed two little things and went directly to Qi Tongwen's school.
Lao Qi really has a personality... The empress and concubine in the palace are making trouble, the Privy Councilor rebelled, and the court wants to reform the official system... There are so many big things, this person is indifferent and too lazy to deal with.
In addition to teaching, he just grew vegetables. When he was free, he cut more bamboo and built students' dormitories. There were already 100 students in the academy.
Many noble people want to stuff people into it, but Qi Tongwen just doesn’t nod.
Apart from the two little things in the Ye family, there were less than ten noble children. After passing the assessment, they entered the school. The other ninety people were poor children from neighboring villages, as well as some laborers' children.
In this capital city where the fire is boiling and the flowers are blooming, Qi Tongwen and his academy are like a group of mavericks, more stubborn than the reefs on the shore.
The prince was late today, and Qi Tongwen was not polite, "Go, carry ten loads of water and water the ground!"
Guo Zongxun nodded obediently. He had been taught a lesson many times and dared not hesitate at all.
As for Brother Guo Xing, he is not a formal student in the school.
Because Brother Guo Xing has finished the courses at Dazhou Academy and has a lot of free time, there is not much work except going to the Champions Club to develop firearms and studying calculus with Ye Hua at night.
By the way, he also needs to learn medicine!
What surprised Brother Guo Xing was that Qi Tongwen's medical attainments were actually very high!
When he was in Suiyang Academy, he often treated poor students... He even planted some herbs, so Guo Xingge simply studied literature and medicine from Qi Tong. In addition, his math skills are indeed very good.
When Ye Da was the administrator of the pool, Qi Tongwen was placed in the old man. The old man was also quite enlightened. He often asked Brother Guo Xing for advice on mathematics and invited Brother Guo Xing to be an assistant teacher.
Brother Guo Xing is almost half a teacher and half a student in school.
"As a teacher, you have to be fined if you are too late! The salary for this month is gone." Qi Tongwen said, waived Brother Guo Xing's salary.
Brother Guo Xing's face is longer than a donkey. You are shameless and dare to take wages. You will give me the same amount of money in one month. Believe it or not, I will go to Bianhe Wharf and calculate the accounts for a whole morning and can you pay for two months?
Anyway, I can’t tell the truth to this poor man, so I’m too lazy to see him!
"Mr. Qi is well-disciplined and strictly enforces the law. I am promising." Ye Hua smiled and said, "It's just that I want to ask Mr. Qi to give them a vacation."
"Mr. Marquis? Do you think I am unkind and it is too hard here. Can you relax him?"
"No, no!" Ye Hua waved his hand repeatedly, "Mr. Qi, that's all. The day before yesterday, you asked Your Highness to go buy vegetables. A truckload of vegetables cost only ten cents. Yesterday, Your Highness took the money and ran to my place. He was very anxious. This morning, I took them to the wholesale market and looked around, and seemed to have some insights."
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Mr. Qi is afraid that the students will not know the sufferings of the people. Vegetable prices are related to people's livelihood and are also the content that Mr. should care about. It is better to let them go to the countryside to see and find out the reason why vegetable prices are cheap. Mr. Qi is clear about the reason why grain is hurting farmers. If they can find a solution, it would be a good thing!"
"Ten dollars?"
Qi Tongwen was too lazy to listen to Ye Hua's other words, so the old man pulled Ye Hua's arm and went to the front of his vegetable field.
You can question my husband's knowledge, but you cannot look down on me at the level of growing vegetables!
The watery little vegetables are tender green, and a cart of hundreds of kilograms, just give you ten copper coins!
I have shed more than ten dollars in sweat!
It's simply outrageous!
"Corrupt officials and bullying the people, but they didn't expect that the same would be true under the feet of the emperor!" Qi Tongwen said angrily: "A cart of charcoal, more than a thousand kilograms, the palace envoys will not be able to save it. Half a piece of red gauze and one zhang of silk tied to the cow's head to fill the charcoal... This is Bai Juyi's "The Charcoal Selling Man". Today I will live in front of me. I finally saw it!"
Qi Tongwen said to Ye Hua: "Marty, can you stand by and watch this kind of thing?"
Before Ye Hua could speak, Brother Guo Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, how did you know that it was done by corrupt officials? Before the matter was concluded, you will be convicted first. Is this the way of benevolence and forgiveness taught by the teacher?"
Qi Tongwen's face turned red when asked and coughed twice.
It was indeed a loss of composure, but Qi Tongwen didn't believe it anyway, and a truck of vegetables could only sell ten copper coins!
The old man thought for a while, "I was wrong, and I also punished myself for a month's salary... But if no one caused any trouble, such a large car of food would be worth at least one or two hundred yuan! In this way, the Marquis and I would also go with them, and our master and apprentice joined forces to figure out the matter!"
Ye Hua laughed, "Practice has made true knowledge. Mr. Qi's rigorous academic discipline makes me admire him. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to entrust my child to you!"
Qi Tongwen blushed with an old face, "I can't even figure out the price of the food, and I'm really shameless to be a master in the future. But what the Marquis said, practiced to bring true knowledge. These five words are very good. I'm engraved at the entrance of the school!"
After saying that, the old man hurriedly prepared to go.
In the next three months, Qi Tongwen, Guo Xingge, and Guo Zongxun often left the city at dusk. They waited until the next day to return to the capital, rested for a while, and then gathered together to summarize the results of the investigation.
In this way, I went out every few days, ran all the villages around Kaifeng, and looked at the markets in the city many times. Just the various data recorded and the problems reported by farmers and merchants, there were less than a few hundred thousand words... In three months, I wrote a record of the grandfather!
At first, Qi Tongwen took two students, and later other teenage students followed suit to investigate and work hard.
In the end, Qi Tongwen was finally full of confidence. He completely figured out the production and sales of vegetables and fruits in the capital. To put it bluntly, even Kaifeng Prefecture, Sansi Yamen, and local officials would not be as clear as Qi Tongwen.
In these three months, Guo Zongxun celebrated his nine-year-old birthday. The little guy became much darker, but his size rose. Compared to the past, he was much more mature, and he seemed to have changed his own person.
Brother Guo Xing summarized the data of all parties, performed statistical operations, and went to the wholesale market to experiment with their methods, constantly feedback and adjustments. Finally, Brother Guo Xing calculated a roughly reasonable demand and price formula.
When everything was put together and handed over to Ye Hua, the master and apprentice were relieved!
Qi Tongwen hugged his shoulders and raised his legs, saying proudly: "Mr. Marquis, I dare to say that from ancient times to the present, few people have studied the market so carefully. In the past, scholars were too aloof and thought that if the principles spoken by sages in the books were well understood, they could govern the world and stabilize the country... Let me say that they were afraid they could not even sell the dishes!"
Qi Tongwen sighed again: "I have witnessed the change of ownership for most of my life and the people are suffering. I have no intention of career, but I just don't want to commit evil! I am determined to run schools and teach and educate people, just hope that the next generation will have great talents, end the troubled times, and restore peace in the world... After these three months, I have finally realized something, which is better than reading books for decades. If the court can do things as meticulously as possible in the future and arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be as stable as a rock and indestructible!"
This old man was very proud and said everything, but he even forgot the humility and reserve of scholars. He sent his ten thousand words to Ye Hua.
"Mr. Marquis, please hand it to Your Majesty. Although I am a sage, I have to repay you with all my heart for my gratitude! I have been so lucky!"
Ye Hua took it and focused on the solution. Although he used his ideas, he had to have too much details. Ye Hua was very satisfied.
"Mr. Qi, you have indeed put in the effort, but some people still don't understand!" Ye Hua said helplessly: "Someone impeached the prince just now!"
"What are you impeached?"
Chapter completed!
