Mr. Zhu and his son arrived as scheduled after morning class.

This time, Zhao Ce was not as casual as usual, and directly took Su Caier and asked someone to hold his daughter and greet the two of them together.

Just as he was about to take Su Caier to perform a great gift, Emperor Hongzhi took the lead and said with a smile: "No need for too much politeness, everything is simple."

Seeing this, Zhao Ce pulled Su Caier and stood up.

Zhu Houzhao next to him said hello a little embarrassedly: "Yong Xibo, Mrs. Yong Xibo."

Zhao Ce smiled, and the scene was a little bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, Su Caier next to her said enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhu hasn't been here for a long time."

"The last time Mr. Zhu sent my husband back, he didn't even have time to come in and have a cup of tea."

"Please come in quickly."

At this opening, Zhao Ce also agreed at the right time: "Advance the house."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and walked in with the people.

Su Caier came over and asked Zhao Ce in a low voice: "Husband, is there anything strange?"

The little girl's feelings have always been keen, and she has captured this possible embarrassment at once.

But now is not the time to say this.

Zhao Ce took her hand and walked in and said softly: "It's okay, I'll tell you again tonight."

"Prepare some delicious treats them."

Su Caier stopped asking more questions and led the people into the kitchen halfway.

After entering the house, the father and son sat down with a familiarity.

Seeing Zhao Ce following closely, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but speak: "Yongxibo, I didn't mean to hide your identity before."

Although the identity of the prince has been exposed, Zhu Houzhao still calls himself "I" against Zhao Ce.

It doesn't seem to be affected by much identity change.

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Your Highness wants to hide his identity, so of course there is your reason."

"I was just a little surprised after learning about His Highness's identity."

As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhao Ce.

Looking at his calm look, I almost believed him.

Zhu Houzhao felt even more guilty when she heard this.

He scratched his head: "This, this is mine..."

Emperor Hongzhi coughed lightly and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Since Yongxibo has said this, then I won't worry about it anymore."

Zhu Houzhao said "Oh" and stopped the topic.

Under the instruction of his father, he turned to say: "The content of Yongxibo's lecture yesterday was very exciting, but there are a few questions that were not yet available to be explained."

"So I'm here today and want to ask for some advice."

Zhu Houzhao took the sermon handed over by the person behind him, opened it and pointed to the question.

"Why did this example lose nearly half of the land in just ten years?"

"I can calculate it, but I can't understand this text too much."

Zhao Ce looked at this example and thought to himself that the father and son came for this.

When I was doing the sermon, in order to make Zhu Houzhao listen, I basically used realistic examples.

Although this example of land loss has been modified, the data are also realistic.

Zhao Ce looked at Zhu Houzhao's humbly asking for advice and asked back: "Does Your Highness have any ideas about the rapid land loss?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father who was sitting on the top of the head to drink tea, and told him some of the reasons that Emperor Hongzhi analyzed yesterday.

"After natural disasters and man-made disasters and wars, a large amount of land loss will be caused."

"After the disaster, part of the newly reclaimed land will be replenished."

"So although this data is decreasing year by year, I think the land loss rate in this example is a bit abnormal."

Zhao Ce nodded: "In general, except for the part I lost before, the other territory of my Ming Dynasty has not changed."

"In addition, since the establishment of our dynasty, the number of people has not changed much."

"The land you cultivate should not be too different."

"yes!"

Zhu Houzhao echoed: "But do you know?"

"At the beginning of our dynasty, Taizu cleared his land, and at that time, 8.4 million hectares were recorded."

"But the land that His Majesty census in the past two years was only 4.6 million hectares left."

"This corresponds to the data you mentioned in the example."

"If natural disasters and man-made disasters do not cause the dynasty to lose so much land, how can nearly half of this land disappear in the records of my Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Ce smiled and asked, "Young Master Zhu, do you still remember the resource redistribution?"

"Of course I remember this!" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and she read it without stopping: "It is to redistribute the world's property!"

“Redistribution…”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly frowned as she recited these three words.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was standing beside him, also moved his fingers gently on the handrail.

But he did not make any noise to bother his son.

He just watched quietly.

Looking at his son, he discussed with this young man who was most likely to become the future heir of the empire.

Zhu Houzhao is indeed flexible in mind.

After he finished pronunciating these three words, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"So what you mean is that most of these disappeared lands may be redistributed privately?"

"After they occupied the land privately, they took advantage of the disaster and directly concealed this large area of ​​land."

"Only after this, the land will disappear so quickly?"

Zhao Ce was also shocked by his conclusion.

I just mentioned it a little, and I didn't expect that the Crown Prince could actually think of this to the point.

Sure enough, he was a person who received the authentic emperor education since childhood?

Zhao Ce said appreciatively: "Young Master Zhu said it well."

"After every disaster or war, it will be accompanied by countless land redistribution."

"We all know that this phenomenon has a unified saying, that is, land annexation."

"Land annexation has never been stopped in all dynasties."

"What's more, disasters happen, and ordinary people cannot fill their stomachs, land annexation will become more and more serious."

“There is another reason.”

"That is, the Ming Dynasty has developed peacefully for so many years, and the population is also growing."

"When the people cannot afford taxes and corvee labor when they work hard to farm, they will take the initiative to give up their land and are willing to sell the land to the gentry and become tenant farmers."

"In this way, at least the payment of food tax can be avoided."

"And if those people who have lost their land one day find that even if they become tenant farmers, they still cannot fill their stomachs."

"What do you think, your Highness?"

Zhu Houzhao's mind was always following Zhao Ce's ideas.

After hearing this question, I answered it without thinking.

"In this way, someone will start to rebel!"

"If they lose their own land and their homes, they will rebel and rely on their own abilities to redistribute resources!"
Chapter completed!
