This sentence has a profound meaning. How can I avoid helping in vain?
Lao Zhu looked solemnly, looked at Han Du and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"
After looking at Lao Zhu and Tang He who were present, Han Du had to hold on and said: "Your Majesty, one million tons of food was destroyed this time. Even if there are navy fishing, such a huge deficit will not be easily filled.
If there is a serious food shortage this year, then the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be greeted by a great famine."
Lao Zhu knew this well, so he just kept his brows calm. But food can only grow from the ground and will not fall from the sky. Lao Zhu has no good way to do this. He can only hope that Han Du can make more
Go fishing and supplement your income.
"Is there anything you can do?"
"Your Majesty, there is no food in the Ming Dynasty, but there is food in other countries. For example, Annan has been a land rich in grain since ancient times. Rice is also grown in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty can only harvest it once a year, but Annan can harvest it three times a year.
Therefore, Annan's food is very sufficient, and if we can bring some back, it will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty."
Lao Zhu and Tang He looked at each other and understood what Han Du meant by helping. In the name of eradicating Japanese pirates, he forcibly asked Annan for food. As for whether Annan would give...
Seeing the unkind look on Han Du's face, both of them understood that Han Du was making a request to Annan, not a request.
"I suddenly remembered that there was something else in the palace, so I went back to the palace." Lao Zhu suddenly stood up and walked straight outside without even saying hello.
Han Du's move is morally untenable, but from Lao Zhu's heart, it is the best way to solve the big problem of food shortage in the Ming Dynasty and stabilize the world, so Lao Zhu has to agree with Han Du
But after all, it is easy to talk about such things but not to listen to them. This is why Lao Zhu left as if he was running away.
Tang He waited for the emperor to leave, then looked at Han Du for a long time, and then sighed: "No wonder the emperor favors you so much. You really risk everything for the emperor."
Han Du smiled and asked: "Master, do you think this is for the emperor?"
Before Tang He could speak, Han Du continued: "Boy, this is for the people of the world. Food shortages can kill people. Instead of letting the people of the Ming Dynasty die, why not let the people of Fanbang die? Wouldn't it be better to let the Taoist friends die than the poor Taoists?
."
When Tang He heard this, he looked at Han Du with a hint of respect. Originally, he thought that Han Du did this to please the emperor, sacrificing his own reputation to please the emperor. For officials, being able to get promoted and make a fortune
Well, not shabby.
But Han Du said it was to save the lives of some people, which surprised Tang He.
...
Han Du said goodbye to Tang He and returned to Mingjingzhai.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he bumped into Han Jingyun. Han Jingyun was also wearing plain clothes, but the small abacus in his hand was gone. He was holding a book and was about to go out.
"Brother, are you back? When did you come back?" When Han Jingyun saw Han Du coming back, he was as happy as a cheering bird, jumping around in circles around Han Du.
"Just got back," Han Du said casually, paused and looked at Han Jingyun carefully and asked, "Are you going out?"
"Well!" Han Jingyun nodded and explained: "The Queen wants me to go to the palace to teach mathematics these days. By the way, if I don't tell my eldest brother, I have to rush to the palace."
"Go, go." Han Du didn't know why Queen Ma suddenly became interested in mathematics and actually asked Jing Yun to come to the palace to teach mathematics. Maybe it was to kill the boring time, Han Du shook his head and threw the idea away
The back of the head.
Ever since Han Jingyun solved the problem of the Western Chagatai Khanate in the Fengtian Palace and his arithmetic skills surpassed the entire court, his reputation spread throughout the capital.
What follows is that many people think that Han Jingyun, a woman, can learn arithmetic to such an advanced level. Is it because arithmetic is relatively simple? Then maybe she can do it herself.
Maybe Queen Ma thinks the same way.
"By the way, brother." After taking a few steps, Han Jingyun suddenly looked back and asked, "How long will it take for brother to be back this time?"
"Two or three days," Han Du thought of a reason and tried to prevaricate the girl, "I'm going back to Beijing to report on my work this time, and I'll be leaving in two or three days. We'll wait until tonight to talk about anything, but you'd better go to the palace quickly, don't let me know
The Queen is impatient."
"Oh~" Han Jingyun responded blankly, and ran away holding the book.
Han Du immediately turned around and entered the door. As soon as he entered, he saw his parents there.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Du'er is back?" Mrs. Liu smiled happily and stood up. Then she told the maid beside her, "Go and tell the cook to add more dishes tonight to catch Du'er's wind."
"Are you coming back to Beijing to report on your work?" Han De asked speculatively.
"Yes." Han Du did not tell his father what was going on. After all, this matter involved too much. Even if he told his father, he would be helpless. In addition to making him worry, it would not
any benefit.
Han Du showed an expected expression, suddenly laughed, and said, "You made a lot of noise when you went fishing this time."
"What happened?" Han Du didn't understand what his father was referring to.
"Some time ago, a large amount of sea fish was sold every day in the capital, and the selling price was relatively cheap. Therefore, many people were able to buy a few kilograms of fish and go back to try it. In the past few days, a lot of jokes have been made." Han
De said with a smile.
Mrs. Liu on the side suddenly changed her expression and said frankly: "Obviously it was Du'er who allowed them to eat cheap fish. I don't know which of the poor people came out from the mouth of a fishing Earl.
I’m really pissed off as a mother.”
Originally, Han Du's being made an earl was the Liu family's most proud thing. Her son had already been made an earl. As a mother, it was obvious that a concubine could not run away. She just didn't know what rank she was.
But at some point, the nickname Han Du was jokingly called the Fishing Earl reached Liu's ears, and she immediately lost her temper. She even thought about why there were so many dukes and earls, but no one
You dare to make random nicknames. Why should your son be called the fishing earl after he finally became an uncle? The title of his family was also accumulated by his son through his merits little by little.
Because of this, Mrs. Liu, who originally liked to go shopping, was so angry that she couldn't even leave the house.
The fishing Earl?
After hearing this, Han Du just smiled and didn't care about the joke at all.
