Chapter 1290
"What kind of tricks are these two playing that we don't know about?"
"..."
Upon reading this part of the intelligence, Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with questions and didn't know how to comment on his grandson's behavior—it was completely baffling what he was trying to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang even doubted whether he was seeing things.
I read it carefully again.
I still don't quite understand.
He could only sigh helplessly, "We thought this kid had finally come to his senses and realized how good young girls are, but who knew he would... tsk tsk tsk." He clicked his tongue at the intelligence report with a look of utter disdain, his face showing a complicated expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, and Lu Wei was also speechless.
He was at a loss for words when it came to talking to his master. The thought process of that Emperor Kaiqian in the capital... was indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
After holding it in for a long time, Lu Wei finally managed to say, "I think... as long as His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture doesn't do anything that will leave people speechless, then that can be considered good news."
He meant it sincerely, because he truly felt that way—after all, the current Emperor Kaiqian has quite a few criminal records.
So it is.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually accepted this explanation, nodding and saying, "Hmm... that makes sense."
Although Zhu Yunwen caused this whole sweet potato thing.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was used to being stingy, could not help but think about the major projects that cost money like water—the alchemy bureau, river repair, and coastal troop reinforcement and training, etc. Just these few projects alone, if you do a rough calculation, would make Zhu Yuanzhang feel the pinch every day.
It's actually a good thing that my grandson hasn't continued doing these things... well, it's all thanks to his past record.
When you look at things from a different perspective.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood improved somewhat, but since he couldn't understand Zhu Yunwen's actions, he could only put the matter aside for the time being and continue to observe...
And this was Yingtian Prefecture during that period.
Although some undercurrents were brewing behind the scenes, things were actually quite calm on the surface, with not much else happening.
The remaining items were a newspaper that was published a year ahead of schedule, and new knowledge passed on by an undercover agent who had been secretly planted in the Ministry of Revenue to study "Economics".
Zhu Yuanzhang first read the entire issue of the newspaper with great interest.
Then, he became completely absorbed in studying economic graphs and their accompanying explanations and annotations, diligently pursuing self-study.
"The relationship between supply and demand..."
"Money can also be considered a commodity, and its price will change with the changes in supply and demand... Clever! How come our eldest grandson is so clever? He can explain some seemingly inexplicable things so logically!"
"Control the supply of currency to the imperial court..."
"..."
From humble beginnings to becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was constantly learning throughout his life. Even though he was already quite old at this point, he could still immerse himself completely in this new field of knowledge, becoming completely absorbed in it.
Sometimes his eyes lit up, sometimes he slammed his fist on the table in approval, sometimes he was puzzled, and sometimes he suddenly understood...
It's as if we've unknowingly entered a completely new world.
……
Meanwhile, in a side courtyard of the Prince of Yan's residence.
As always, Monk Daoyan sat under the pavilion in the courtyard. On the stone table in front of him were a Go board and a box containing Go stones. In his left and right hands, Monk Daoyan held a black Go stone and a white Go stone respectively.
Clearly, he was playing against himself.
only……
The black and white pieces on the chessboard are intertwined and interwoven.
One small group of white stones was completely surrounded by black stones and had no more liberties, making it a dead group. However, the monk Daoyan, sitting in front of the chessboard, did not see it at all and forgot to remove the dead white stones from the board. At this moment, although the monk Daoyan was playing chess against himself, his mind was not on the chessboard at all. He was just staring blankly into space with his eyes glazed over.
