Prince of Chaos

Chapter 642
Accompanied Emperor Wanli to enjoy the snow for a while, and chatted with Tianhou for a while.

Zhu Changluo also turned the topic to Enke this time.

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, the Enke exam is over."

Emperor Wanli took a sip of tea and hummed.Now, the weather is getting colder. I don’t know if Emperor Wanli listened to some genius doctor and started to maintain his health. Now he has started to drink his Jinjunmei and other health-preserving black teas. The bubble water that was favored in the past is actually put aside. Just one bottle.

It can be seen that the current Emperor Wanli really understands more and more as he lives.Know that the body is the capital of the revolution.

Emperor Wanli said: "It's good to finish the exam. It's a good thing to select talents for the court. Originally, I didn't pay much attention to mathematics. However, I have been in Xishan Huangzhuang for a long time, and I can see that mathematics is really extremely important."

"In the future, Daming cannot live without these people who devote themselves to mathematics. With them, Daming will continue to improve and become the pinnacle of the world as you said before! At that time, it will be difficult for the world to rejuvenate!"

Zhu Changluo did not expect that Emperor Wanli had such a deep understanding of mathematics, which made Zhu Changluo look at Emperor Wanli with admiration.

No wonder Zhang Juzheng praised Emperor Wanli's intelligence every day.It turned out that when Zhu Changluo saw these words, he thought it was Zhang Juzheng's compliment to Emperor Wanli as a courtier.

But now, Zhu Changluo doesn't think so.

Emperor Wanli was indeed very smart, but why couldn't he continue Zhang Juzheng's reform momentum?

This may be a matter of Emperor Wanli's personality. He is not as mature and prudent as Zhang Juzheng, nor has he experienced ups and downs.

Therefore, after Zhang Juzheng's death, when Emperor Wanli wanted to do something for the world with his own enthusiasm, he miscalculated.

Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, which one has not become a fine human being?All of them are extremely deep in the city, and they have to make seven or eight detours when they say a word.Moreover, the promises of such ghouls are like farting.

A typical person is in the front, and the back is in the other.

How could a fledgling young man like Emperor Wanli outplay this group of elites?
Therefore, during the subsequent ruling period, Emperor Wanli was not only unable to display his ambitions, but was also attacked by these ministers with moral weapons every day.

Like sitting on a dragon chair and not sitting properly, it can become a pretext for attacks by the officials.It seems that if the chair is crooked, the world will be overturned.

It can be seen that in the early days of Emperor Wanli's power, his experience was really miserable to the extreme.

And his mother, Empress Dowager Li, came from a small family and knew nothing about the contingencies of the previous dynasty. Every day, she talked about the so-called rules to intimidate Emperor Wanli, threatened Emperor Wanli at every turn, and deposed him if he did not do well. Enter the younger brother, King Lu.

The Emperor Wanli, who lived in such a torment, could rejuvenate Daming, that would be hell!

But when it comes to King Lu, Zhu Changluo, my dear uncle.Zhu Changluo also took great care of him.

No matter what extraordinary things he did in the fief, Zhu Changluo would help him cover it up. Now, King Lu's deeds have been deeply disgusted by local officials and hated by the surrounding vassals.

But Zhu Changluo, who was the patriarch of the clan's mansion, didn't care about this, and even directly favored King Lu.

This also made King Lu even more arrogant and unscrupulous.

However, this also gained Lu Wang's favor, and Lu Wang would write letters to Queen Mother Li every now and then, boasting how the crown prince was friendly and harmonious with the clan.He is a good prince who is rare to see through the ages.

This also made Queen Mother Li like Zhu Changluo even more.

It can be said that after this wave of operations, Zhu Changluo earned everyone's favor.

Now Zhu Changluo just sits firmly on the hook fish platform and continues to watch Lu Wang continue to act as a demon in the fiefdom.

After he has done it to a certain level, it will be the time when the sky is angry and people complain.

Zhu Changluo took his in-depth reform of offering sacrifices to the flag clan!

Although there is already a precedent for Chu Fan, Chu Fan is too far away from the royal family after all, and the deterrent effect is not enough.

Moreover, the attack was too harsh.It will also arouse the discussion of the clans all over the world, talking about the crown prince maliciously suppressing the distant clans regardless of the clan's affection.

For the ancient times, where patriarchal clan blood was extremely valued, it was almost possible to judge a person's social death.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to give King Lu a big enough stage to put on a ridiculous drama that left Empress Dowager Li speechless.Then, Zhu Changluo came forward to clean up the mess.

Only in this way can Zhu Changluo extend his hand to other vassal princes and clans unscrupulously!
Complete the in-depth reform of the imperial clan, and cut off this malignant tumor attached to Daming's body!
Closer to home, continue the topic of Enke!
Zhu Changluo said to Emperor Wanli: "Father, this time Enke, my son intends to take one-third of the candidates and award them with a bachelor's degree in mathematics."

Emperor Wanli snorted, and then said: "You are in charge, you can do as you see fit."

But then Emperor Wanli suddenly turned around and looked at Zhu Changluo in a daze, not daring to say anything: "One-third?!"

His voice couldn't help but be a little high-pitched, obviously a little shocked.Because Emperor Wanli also knew that nearly [-] people signed up for Enke Mathematics this time!
Taking one-third, wouldn't that mean taking more than 3000 people!This is scary!

Zhu Changluo hummed and said, "Yes, one third."

Emperor Wanli gasped, "My dear! One-third is more than 3000 people! In all dynasties and dynasties, there have never been so many scholars in one subject. Our Ming Dynasty only takes three to 400 people in one imperial examination. This time you Enke took more than 3000 people, and this immediately surpassed the total number of imperial examinations for 30 years. It is more than the number of Jinshi I have won since I became the throne."

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Enke is not available all year round, and if you want to cultivate the enthusiasm of Ming students for mathematics, of course you have to do extraordinary methods to have extraordinary effects!"

Emperor Wanli understood the truth, but Emperor Wanli still felt that it was too radical.

Emperor Wanli worried: "Three thousand scholars are taken at once, which will make the students who took the imperial examination emotional."

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, don't worry, I am confident. When Enke's imperial edict was issued, I have already stated that Enke's selection of scholars is different from normal imperial examinations. Scholars selected by normal imperial examinations are Jinshi, and my son Enke's candidates are Jinshi." It's a bachelor."

"Furthermore, these new science scholars did not have the benefits of entering the Imperial Academy and the Six Departments to observe politics, and the imperial court directly conferring officials to the county. All they have is a bachelor's background recognized by the imperial court."

"This will not pose any threat to the students who are on the right track and taking the imperial examination. Moreover, this will become a new choice for most students who have failed the test for a long time, and they have no reason to object."

After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Emperor Wanli felt relieved.

If it is really like what Zhu Changluo said, it is indeed not without benefits, maybe you can really try this.

But in the end, Emperor Wanli sighed and said: "With so many scholars at once, even if these newly promoted scholars are not given official positions, as long as they are given ranks, won't the imperial court give them salaries? This money Not too small!"

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Father, don't worry about this. We have to look at the problem dialectically. Although you have to get such a bachelor at once, you have to send out a lot of salary. But if these people stay in the capital, stay in our Xishan Huangzhuang , so which one of their food and drink does not cost money?"

"In the end, their salaries will all be spent in our Xishan Huangzhuang. Moreover, they all come with their families. In this way, they will definitely spend more money than their salaries."

"If they come to work in our Xishanhuangzhuang because they don't have enough money, if they make achievements, they can also create new income for our Xishanhuangzhuang. This is a big deal!"

"So, there is no need to worry about the silver issue at all. We should consider how much silver they can create for us after they come."

After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Emperor Wanli laughed immediately.

"It's because you have a clear head and can think clearly."

Emperor Wanli couldn't help but praise Zhu Changluo, and at the same time, he couldn't help imagining the creativity of these three thousand scientists.

Thinking that more than 3000 mathematicians would devote themselves to Xishanhuangzhuang and contribute to the development of Xishanhuangzhuang, Emperor Wanli's body could not help but tremble.

This is simply a big profit!

Zhu Changluo also smiled and bowed: "It is the gift of my father that my son has such a smart head. Without the father, how can there be a son?"

Emperor Wanli laughed again.

Emperor Wanli said: "Okay, okay, continue to eat hot pot tonight! The cows from Ningxia happened to be today, oh no, unfortunately, another one accidentally fell into the ravine and died. I couldn't bear to waste it, so I ordered someone to make it. There is a full beef feast, and hot pot is naturally the main feature!"

Zhu Changluo also sighed: "Ningxia's cattle are not easy!"

After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Wanli looked at the emotional Zhu Changluo, and sighed with sympathy: "Yes!"

Then the two father and son looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

The beef hot pot in Hot Spring Palace is very famous.

Originally, Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo loved to eat it, but now, all the nobles in the palace led by Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo liked it.

Especially Queen Wang, the original Queen Wang was always sick. Now, after living in the hot spring palace with Emperor Wanli, her body has miraculously improved.

Now, the whole person looked refreshed, and his complexion became rosy.

Of course, Queen Wang's body can have such a miracle, which is inseparable from the love of Emperor Wanli, the company of Princess Rongchang and his wife, and the careful conditioning of Xishan Medical College.

Therefore, this is the medical miracle that Queen Wang's health improved!

The banquet hall of the Hot Spring Palace.

This banquet hall is very big, like a theater.

Because, the innermost part of the banquet hall is indeed a stage, and there are several dining tables under the stage.

If it wasn't for this place being the Royal Forbidden Garden, people who walked here would not necessarily think that this place is a theater.

Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo sat at the same table, and then on the other two sides were the Queen, Concubine Gong, Princess Concubine, and Princess Rongchang and his wife.

Emperor Wanli held a list in his hand, turned around and said to Queen Wang, "Queen, what show are we listening to tonight?"

Empress Wang got up and said with a smile: "The emperor is the master, and the concubines don't know how to play. The picture is the excitement of a family reunion."

After all, Queen Wang looked at Zhu Changluo, and then at Princess Rongchang and his wife.

Emperor Wanli smiled and said: "Okay, then I'm in charge, tonight we will listen to the new row of green plums cooking wine and talk about heroes!"

After hearing Emperor Wanli's words, Zhu Changluo and others immediately laughed.

When the family was reunited, Emperor Wanli actually wanted to hear this. It can be seen that Emperor Wanli is really Cao Mengde's true fan!

Then after a sound of gongs and drums, the stage in the banquet hall opened.

The following whole beef hot pot banquet has also started.

From time to time, Zhu Changluo cooked slices of fat beef for Emperor Wanli and placed them in the golden bowl in front of Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli happily dipped in the hot pot dipping sauce, ate beef, and watched the drama on stage, so happy!
While Zhu Changluo was accompanying Emperor Wanli, he also toasted frequently to Queen Wang, Concubine Gong, Princess Rongchang and his wife.

The family is eating hot pot together, and it feels so good to listen to the play.

Of course, only those who can enjoy this kind of extravagance can enjoy such extravagance.

It is still a bit difficult for ordinary people to have a meal or watch a show.

For them, this is still a luxury.

However, this kind of life is within reach for the common people of Xishan Huangzhuang.

As long as they work hard in Xishan Huangzhuang, they still have a chance to have a meal and watch a show.

Zhu Changluo's internal management and welfare of Xishan Huangzhuang is also very good.

In addition to the rich variety of commodities in Xishan Huangzhuang, there will be a big theater in the planning of every large block. Moreover, these big theaters will have performances every day, and a ticket is only [-] yuan.

For these ordinary people working in Xishan Huangzhuang, one hundred cash is just their daily income, and spending one hundred cash to watch a wonderful drama every month is also a kind of rich spiritual enjoyment.

Therefore, this pricing is reasonable, after all, art also needs to be eaten.

If the artists are all selfless, how can it be possible for them to continuously create art that the working people love to hear and see?
Therefore, Zhu Changluo not only values ​​practical benefits, but also the construction of spiritual civilization.

Blindly beating chicken blood and pouring chicken soup will most likely usher in a strong backlash in the end.

It took two hours to eat a hot pot meal. During these two hours, there was constant laughter and laughter in the banquet hall, and the applause of Emperor Wanli could be heard from time to time.

It can be seen that he really likes this new play of green plums cooking wine and discussing heroes.

After the song ended, Zhu Changluo sent Emperor Wanli back to the greenhouse.

After catching Zhu Changluo, he met Yang Chunyuan, the son-in-law of Princess Rongchang, in the front hall of his bedroom.

Originally, Yang Chunyuan was going to accompany the crowd to meet Cheng Dazhuang at the Zhaixing Building tonight.

As a result, not long after they arrived at the Zhaixing Building, people came to the Princess Mansion.

After Yang Chunyuan received the letter of the family banquet at the Princess Mansion, he immediately apologized to Chen Jinglun, Xu Guangqi, Cheng Dazhuang, Wang Watt and others and left.

Everyone also understood the priorities, so naturally they wouldn't force Yang Chunyuan to stay ignorantly.

Therefore, Yang Chunyuan went from Zhaixing Building to Xishan Hot Spring Palace to attend tonight's family banquet with Princess Rongchang.

After the family banquet was over, Zhu Changluo ordered the eunuch to call Yang Chunyuan.

Obviously, Zhu Changluo has new requirements for his elder brother-in-law.

After Yang Chunyuan entered the hall, he immediately saluted and said, "I see Your Highness."

At this moment, Zhu Changluo, who was already dressed in home clothes, immediately stretched out his hand and raised it slightly, "There is no need for a family to be formal."

Yang Chunyuan replied softly, "Yes."

Zhu Changluo looked at Yang Chunyuan, who was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so cautious. We are all a family, so it's better to be less disciplined. Sister-in-law, please sit down."

Yang Chunyuan carefully sat opposite Zhu Changluo.

Although Yang Chunyuan was several years older than Zhu Changluo, Yang Chunyuan's awe of Zhu Changluo was sincere.

After all, the entire Xishan Huangzhuang belongs to the young crown prince in front of him.

What's more, he is still the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Li Tong, so when Yang Chunyuan saw Zhu Changluo, he naturally became very respectful and did not dare to overstep.

Zhu Changluo also understood Yang Chunyuan's caution, and he stopped playing with Yang Chunyuan.

After all, the longer he chatted with Yang Chunyuan in this capacity, the more embarrassed Yang Chunyuan became.

Instead of this, it is better to go straight to the point and say the truth in advance.

Zhu Changluo said to Yang Chunyuan: "Sister-in-law, I intend to set up a large-scale steelmaking plant in Tianjinwei, but I haven't found a suitable candidate. I don't know what my sister-in-law wants? Of course, you have to discuss this matter with Sister Huang Good. You and your husband both agree, and the orphan will let you go."

After Yang Chunyuan heard what Zhu Changluo meant, he was immediately excited.

This is also a great thing for him.

However, there is also a bit of difficulty in this, and this difficulty is the level of Princess Rongchang.

After all, the two had just been married for two years, and it was the time when they were inseparable.

At this time, he was going to Tianjin Wei. Although it was not far from the capital, it would take a day to go back and forth.

Therefore, for a while, Yang Chunyuan didn't dare to directly agree.

Yang Chunyuan said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will discuss it with the princess."

Zhu Changluo hummed, "Sister-in-law has worked hard. Now is the time to hire people. If I can't find a suitable candidate, I will not let my sister-in-law leave the capital and go to Tianjin Wei to take charge of the steel factory."

"The demand for steel used by the imperial court is increasing day by day, and the original small workshops can no longer keep up with the pace of steelmaking. Therefore, we must plan ahead and build a large steel factory to provide the imperial court with a steady stream of steel."

After saying this, Zhu Changluo said to Yang Chunyuan with emotion: "Since my sister-in-law has devoted himself to studying the method of steelmaking in Xishan Huangzhuang, the level of steel in Xishan Huangzhuang has risen in a straight line. These orphans are all in my eyes. If there is no With the contributions of my sister-in-law, Xishan Huangzhuang will definitely not be as prosperous as it is today!"

"So, the first thing I thought of today was my sister-in-law. With my sister-in-law's talents, I feel a little wronged to live in the Huangzhuang of Xishan. If it can be done, Tianjin Wei's large-scale steelmaking plant can become a big Ming Dynasty. The biggest and strongest steel factory, so the name of sister-in-law will surely be passed down through the ages."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's PUA, Yang Chunyuan couldn't help but look forward to Tianjin Wei Steel Plant in the future.

As a scholar who pursues the three immortals of Confucianism, although Yang Chunyuan has never passed the imperial examination, he still has the persistence to leave his name through the ages.

Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given him the opportunity to pass on through the ages, how can he not be excited?

Therefore, at this moment, Yang Chunyuan also stood up and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust. Being able to do things for Daming and be loyal to Your Highness is a blessing that I have cultivated for hundreds of generations. I will definitely live up to your highness' trust."

Zhu Changluo got up and helped Yang Chunyuan up, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is serious. You must discuss this matter with Huangjie properly. I don't want to be chased by Huangjie for a son-in-law in the future."

Yang Chunyuan smiled shyly: "I will definitely discuss it with the princess."

Zhu Changluo said: "Then I will wait for the good news from my sister-in-law."
