Chen Shu saw that Zhu Biao was sweating profusely as if he had just been fished out of a river.
He smiled, not intending to shut up.
"Of course, this algorithm is not accurate!”
"Because the variable I assumed was that every prince would have 50,000 dans of grain. I also assumed that every prince would be able to give birth to two children, and both children would be able to become kings!”
"The truth is, many of the imperial clan's descendants won't get as much as fifty thousand dan of grain!”
"Not every imperial prince can give birth to so many children!“
"But this data doesn't affect the result of my deduction!”
"Brother Zhu, if we follow the emperor's method, how many generations can the Ming Dynasty last?”
"The emperor wants to seek a good life for his descendants. This is the simplest idea of an old father.
"But he still suffered the loss of being uncultured. If this method is carried out, the Ming Dynasty will be killed by more and more members of the imperial clan!”
Chen Shu's words were not heresy, but something that would happen in the future.
The rules set by Emperor Hongwu for Great Ming had indeed become a burden for Great Ming after the number of Imperial Clan disciples had increased.
The Emperor's heart was good, but Da Ming could not support these people.
At first, the prince's salary of 50,000 dans of food was quickly reduced to 10,000.
However, this still could not solve the fundamental problem. In the later period of Ming Dynasty, the imperial clan's salary could not be paid out, and they owed…
The rules of the Ming Taizu had long existed in name only.
In Chen Shu's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang's rule was no different from courting death!
Zhu Biao's mouth was dry and he couldn't speak to himself for a while.
"He treated his clan relatives with his heart, but he buried the root of trouble for Great Ming!”
"You view the officials with the heart of an ant, yet you hope that the officials will become pillars!”
"In my opinion, this is unfair!”
"It's not that I think that officials should be high and mighty and have wealth comparable to a country, but at least they can let people live a decent life in order to win the hearts of the people!”
"Although some people are not saints, they still want to be good people!”
"But Your Majesty only knows how to bully honest people! In the end, she blamed him for not being able to resist the temptation!”
"This isn't righteousness, but the Imperial Art!”
"In this aspect, I think the current Emperor is not up to standard!”
"Is there no more wine?"
Chen Shu realized that the wine Zhu Biao brought had been finished. To be honest, the wine in this era was as bland as water.
The person in front of him was quite interesting. Chen Shu took out a bottle of white wine from the system's warehouse.
"Drink mine!"
Zhu Biao was flustered by Chen Shu's words and took a sip.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The high-grade white wine from the future was so spicy that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was about to cry.
However, after the initial spiciness, Zhu Biao felt a strong sense of drunkenness. A warm feeling spread from his body.
"Good wine!"
Zhu Biao temporarily forgot about the troubles in his heart and was attracted by the wine in Chen Shu's mouth.
As the Crown Prince, he had drunk many wines from various places, but no matter which place the wine was from, it was not as strong as the wine in Chen Shu's hand.
Even the wine from the Mongolian grasslands was no exception.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Shu looked at Zhu Biao's sorry state and laughed.
He downed the wine in his hand and filled Zhu Biao's cup.
"Brother Chen, this wine…"
Zhu Biao looked at the wine jug in Chen Shu's hand, his heart burning.
"This is the wine I casually brewed myself. It's not precious. I'll give you a few bottles later!”
Chen Shu did not care about these small wines. He had obtained a lot of wine from the system over the years.
Today, Zhu Biao was only given the cheapest Erguotou.
Chen Shu couldn't bear to let this silly fellow taste anything like Maotai or Wuliang Liquor.
However, even Erguotou was too intoxicating.
Although high-alcohol white wine appeared in the Tang Dynasty, it was not really popular even in the early Ming Dynasty.
The mature craft of white wine only appeared when it was clear.
Although there was white wine among the people, the taste was too bad.
Therefore, the upper-class aristocrats still relied on yellow wine.
However, the white wine in Chen Shu's hands had been improved by the Chinese people for hundreds of years. It was also a brand that had been chosen after fighting in the market.
That smell was naturally a lever.
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"
Chen Shu casually gave Zhu Biao a few bottles of Erguotou, Zhu Biao happily accepted.
The more he drank, the stronger the wine became.
"I also have some specialties from my hometown for Brother Chen to try!”
After drinking, Zhu Biao and Chen Shu's relationship seemed to have become closer. Not long after, the two of them had their arms around each other's shoulders.
However, he still had a breath in his heart, so he finally couldn't help but speak.
"I see that Brother Chen doesn't seem to like the emperor?”
"Is the current Emperor really that unbearable?”
"Of course not. As long as the emperor banishes the Tartars and recovers China, it will be recorded in history!”
"His achievements are comparable to Han Wu's, and he's almost as good as the Qin Emperor!"
Although Chen Shu's alcohol tolerance was also slightly high, he did not lose his mind.
His evaluation of Old Zhu was also sincere.
He was the only one who had started off with a broken bowl and walked to the throne.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a ruthless man and a good emperor.
However, no one was perfect. Chen Shu's criticism of him was just his personal weakness.
However, his historical achievements could not be erased.
Zhu Biao was very happy to hear Chen Shu's evaluation of the Emperor. However, after he put down the stone in his heart, he could no longer hold the strong wine and directly collapsed on the wine table.
Chen Shu chuckled. This Zhu Mu's alcohol tolerance was still not good.
He found a blanket and covered Zhu Biao with it. Then, he prepared to shout for his servant to come and pick him up.
However, before Chen Shu could speak, his maid, Xu Miaoyun, ran in with his father.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
Xu Da panted, his expression excited.
Chen Shu looked at him and felt both angry and amused.
"Speak in a calm tone!"
Chen Shu put on a stern face and pretended to be dignified.
"There's someone here!"
The Xu father and daughter found Zhu Biao sleeping on the table, but they didn't recognize him.
"Sir, please follow me!"
Xu Da wanted to show off, so he directly pulled Chen Shu's hand and walked to the front yard.
At this moment, two large carriages were parked in the backyard of the Chen Manor.
The carriage was wrapped in cloth. Xu Da went over to remove the cloth, revealing all kinds of chests. He opened one of them, and the snow-white silver was extremely dazzling under the sunlight.
"Sir, we sold more than 1,000 portions of penicillin!“
"The price of this penicillin is crazy!"
" Initially, I thought that Old Xu could only use my connections to sell some things in the army. Who knew…"
The more Xu Da spoke, the more excited he became. However, he noticed that Chen Shu's expression did not change.
If others didn't know about the effects of a great killing weapon like penicillin, it would be fine. But after seeing it for themselves, wouldn't it be normal for them to go crazy selling it?
A thousand servings. Xu Da would be able to return some money to him.
Chen Shu was very satisfied with this matter. He did not care how much money he earned, but he hoped that Xu Da would return the money as soon as possible.
The benefits he could obtain from the system after settling this terrible debt were immeasurable.
"How can you be so excited over such a small matter?”
Chen Shu looked at Old Xu in disdain, causing Xu Da to blush.
"However, we also owe more than a thousand portions of penicillin!”
"How long will it take to hand it over?
"Simple, ten days will do!"
Chen Shu's answer surprised the Xu father and daughter.
"Alright, you can go!"
"Don't bother me before you get 3,000 portions of penicillin!”
"Oh right, stay and help me!"
"And you, the guest in my front yard, please help me send him to the next door!”
Chen Shu instructed Xu Da before he left.
