The so-called accounts of the reception department were nothing to Lao Zhu.

As long as he spent half an hour every day, he could clearly handle the accounts that took Gao Fei several hours to do.

Gao Fei is not the kind of person who is picky and never puts on any official airs.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang can calculate the accounts clearly, what will he do at other times? Gao Fei never cares about it and basically doesn't question it.

After staying in the Yamen for two or three days, I got familiar with Gao Fei's character.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer acted honestly and continued to stay in the yamen.

After settling the accounts, we started walking around Datong Mansion.

When he first entered Datong Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang was even a little surprised.

At first glance, this place doesn't look like a drought-stricken place.

Of course, if you look carefully, you can still see some clues.

The people were so thin that they looked like they could not eat enough.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang could also understand that in this case, just ensuring that people would not starve to death was already extremely difficult.

It is simply impossible to ensure that everyone is fed.

At least in Datong Prefecture, you won't see people starving to death everywhere.

Not only does it not have the desolate feeling after a major disaster, it actually looks very lively.

What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang the most was that there were grain shops almost everywhere here.

If you look on any street, you will see at least seven or eight grain shops.

Moreover, the clerks at these grain shops were all very enthusiastic outside to greet the people to buy grain.

"Sir, please come and take a look at the newly arrived food in our store."

"The shopkeeper's father turns 70 today, so all food in the store is 10% off. Come and take a look, folks!"

The sound was so loud that it could be heard far away, even if you wanted to, it would be difficult not to hear it.

At this time, a clerk from a grain store nearby asked in confusion: "Didn't your shopkeeper's father just celebrate his seventieth birthday half a month ago? Why is he celebrating his seventieth birthday again?"

"Ah, this...our shopkeeper remembered the wrong date."

"Can you remember your father's seventieth birthday correctly?" Another clerk from the grain store mocked contemptuously.

"You still have the nerve to criticize me? Your shopkeeper has been kissed twelve times in the last month, and I don't know if his body can bear it."

However, after they ridiculed each other for a few words, they continued to sell their own food desperately.

Zhu Yuanzhang could see clearly that these people were actually trying to lower prices, so as to sell their food as quickly as possible.

However, even if the price was reduced, the price of this grain was already sky-high in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

"Humph, these heartless profiteers." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sneered.

As a result, as soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Old Chang, you just don't understand."

Anyone who can call him that, you know without asking, must be Gao Fei.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and saw that his guess was indeed correct: "If you don't go on duty at the checkpoint, how can you have time to enter the city?"

"I'm not talking about you, Lao Chang. After following me for so long, why are you still so stupid?"

"When Shangguan comes out to do something, no matter whether it's reasonable or not, you should pretend you didn't see it. Otherwise, you will definitely be scolded, do you know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately put on a righteous expression: "We believe that your Excellency is a good and upright official, and he will definitely not let me wear a shoestring just because I tell the truth, right?"

This flattery was obviously very comfortable. Gao Fei narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and said, "That's pretty much it. My careful teachings are finally in vain."

Zhu Yuanzhang started to roll his eyes again, I heard you taught us when.

wrong……

We are the mighty emperor of the Ming Dynasty, do we need a humble official like you to teach us?

Lao Zhu calmly changed the subject and asked knowingly: "Sir, please tell me, what's the problem with what we just said?"

Of course he understood the reason why the price was so high, but he knew clearly that Lao Zhu would still be unhappy when he saw these people selling grain at such a high price.

It's just that he understands that it's normal. A ranger like Gao Fei actually has such a vision?

Gao Fei chuckled, and lowered his voice as if he was telling a big secret: "The reason why the price of food here in Datong Mansion is so high is because His Royal Highness personally set the price."

"If those grain stores dare to sell at lower prices, they will come looking for us."

This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang had heard of this matter.

He suddenly said in surprise: "The price of this food is too low, it's not even good?"

"We only heard that if the price is too high and people can't afford it, the government will take care of it."

"But if the quantity and price are low, wouldn't it be a great benefit to the people? The government doesn't even care about this."

Gao Fei explained earnestly: "This is what you don't understand, Old Chang."

"I have said before that you will definitely not be able to do business. You should just work as an accountant under me from now on. You will definitely have a much better future than you going into business."

After discovering Zhu Yuanzhang's lack of ability, Gao Fei persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang more than once to stay in the Yamen and help him.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang always laughed and excused this.
