"What I saw, and what I have been obsessed with, was only this so-called 'anthracite,' whereas that man saw the entire world! All the people! In other words, he exploited a certain rule of human nature."

Monk Daoyan has realized this point in the past few days.

But Zhu Di was different from him. On weekdays, he was either training soldiers and practicing riding and shooting in the parade ground, or in his own palace. Naturally, he ignored the most basic people.

Now I have time to take a closer look.

The Yongle Emperor's sense of smell was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. After hearing and seeing this, he suddenly understood:

"So-called cheap cloth, anthracite...or anything else, is unlikely to be what everyone needs most."

“That’s why there has been exchange and buying and selling from ancient times to the present day.”

"Through exchange and trade, everyone gets what they need most. This is something that doesn't need to be managed! Therefore, the only thing Yingtian Prefecture cares about is the possible robbery and plunder that may occur."

"So..."

"The benefits will naturally be distributed to the people."

Zhu Di showed a look of realization on his face, which was filled with admiration and even a kind of belated fear!

The hustle and bustle of the street was endless.

There are the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, the sounds of bargaining between customers and sellers, the sounds of acquaintances greeting and gossiping, and the sounds of children playing...

It is all living beings.

It is the world's various aspects.

And this year, everything is more prosperous than ever before.

He is a descendant of the royal family, and the people of Peking are his subjects. He should naturally feel happy and relieved about this.

However... this was done by that person, which also means that Zhu Yunhuan, the young boy, will sit in a more stable position...

Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt as if a huge rock weighing thousands of pounds had fallen on his heart, and his chest felt stuffy and blocked.

While thinking.

Qiu Fu, who was standing by, also obviously understood what was going on. He patted his head and said, "I understand! It seems to be true!"

"This situation... is similar to disaster relief. Normally, when there's a severe drought or flood anywhere in the Ming Dynasty, the court would distribute money and grain for relief. However, in situations like this, the people are often exploited at every level, and in the end, not much of the money and grain distributed by the court actually reaches the people."

"But this time, the imperial court used cheap cloth and anthracite to ensure that this 'disaster relief money' actually fell into the hands of the people!" Qiu Fu stood at the window, staring down at the window, and said in disbelief.

Monk Daoyan behind him nodded and said, "You're right this time. It's almost like disaster relief, and it's done with minimal deductions. The only hidden danger is the collusion between local officials and the Jinyiwei of the local Coal Transport Bureau, and this... was preemptively frightened by that person."

Monk Daoyan had just finished speaking.

Xu Miaoyun, who was sitting on the other side, then added, "Even... it's more than that!"

Her words left Qiu Fu scratching his head again: "It's not just that? What else?" Staying in this box with Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun and Monk Daoyan, he felt like a horse galloping through his heart: How come everyone can see the problem, but I, Qiu, am completely clueless?

Fortunately, Xu Miaoyun did not keep the secret and said directly:

"This temporary bill we just saw in the newspaper can also prevent hidden dangers in the sale of anthracite. To a certain extent, it can prevent local Jinyiwei officials and the three local officials from colluding with each other!"

"Yingtian Prefecture's announcement of official permission for the free trade of anthracite through this newspaper, which everyone is interested in, is equivalent to telling merchants everywhere that as long as they abide by the rules, they can make money legally."
