Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 91 Mr.
Zhu Yuan didn't know that the news that Pu Zhongheng, who was seriously injured and almost died, had been rescued had spread from Dinghai, a small seaside town.

There were even medicinal merchants in the surrounding area who began to buy Penicillium at high prices.

When Zhu Yuan heard the news, he had to issue a notice in the name of Yinghai Division, reminding the various risks of using Penicillium, emphasizing that it should not be used lightly if it is not necessary.

Zhu Yuan has no confidence in whether he can be heard.

In fact, I also understand that the main reason is the lack of effective methods to deal with infection in this era.It is said that in history, Xu Da died of back gangrene, which was actually an infection, a problem that could be solved with a few doses of antibiotics in later generations, but it took the life of a famous general in the world.

Therefore, the penicillium therapy proposed by Zhu Yuan is like a slender straw rope thrown to a drowning person.

This is something.

Sending off Huagao, who was going outside the city to arrange a barracks for the upcoming Zhang Cun Daoist Ministry, Zhu Yuan returned to his office in the west wing of the main courtyard, and He Xuan and other eunuchs also chased him over to bring breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhu Yuan wrote a letter to Lao Zhu according to Huagao's instructions, talking about antibiotics and the prevention of infection caused by scalding, and asked about Li Gui, who was further arranged by him as an office assistant, and learned about surveying and mapping. Tu Xiao at the office finally returned from the sea yesterday afternoon, so he asked him to call someone over immediately.

Tu Xiao arrived soon.

My leg still hurts.

He was also among the surprised crowd watching Pu Zhongheng before, but when he turned around and ran away, he was slapped by Zhu Yuan.

Still feeling a little guilty.

Although I still don't quite understand why Xiao Hanlin smoked them, there must be a reason.

Zhu Yuan didn't remember these small details. After Tu Xiao saluted him, he handed over the edict of appointment sent from Jinling two days ago to the other party, wrote the letter without looking up, and said, "Clean up, someone will come today Go back to Jinling, and you will go back together, and it will be safe."

Tu Xiao had already heard some news, and after reading the imperial edict, he still felt that it was not true.

Less than a month ago, he was just a low-ranking official under the Taishi Academy. Tu Xiao was already very satisfied with being able to quickly rise to the eighth rank before. Is it wrong to be partial to miscellaneous learning?

No matter what, it didn't take long for a fifth-rank surveying and mapping department doctor's official position to come over again.

Make him dizzy!
Zhu Yuan wrote a few lines, noticed that there was no movement in front of his eyes, looked up, only to find that Tu Xiao was still in a daze, smiled, and teased: "Wake up, don't tell me what Fan Jinzhong said. "

Hearing Zhu Yuan's voice, Tu Xiao finally came to his senses. Of course, he couldn't know the stalk of "Fan Jinzhongju". After reading the case, the young Yinghai Envoy was overwhelmed, and suddenly knelt down, prostrating and saying: " The student thanked Mr. Guo for his teaching and promotion, and Xinghan will remember it in his heart in this life, and dare not forget it."

Tu Xiao understood that if he hadn't met this little Hanlin, relying on his miscellaneous knowledge that is not mainstream in classics and history, he would at most be able to climb up to be a junior official of the seventh or eighth rank in Qingshui yamen like Taishi Academy in his life. It is impossible to have the current situation.

Thinking about the many knowledge he had learned from Xiao Hanlin these days, Tu Xiao immediately made a certain decision.

In this day and age, teachers don't recognize them casually.

Heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers are the five highest ethics in Confucianism. Just like the so-called "master", he is both a "teacher" and a "father". Once you recognize it, it means that you have a "father" by default. In this life, you must treat your husband with the attitude of serving your father.

Inside the office.

After all, from later generations, Zhu Yuan didn't feel Tu Xiao's attitude too deeply for a while, but once again felt that his courses during this period were not in vain, and finally someone took the initiative to call Mr.

Smiling, Zhu Yuan said: "Get up, I have to tell you a few more words."

Only then did Tu Xiao stand up and listen respectfully.

Zhu Yuan said: "It is a joyful thing to jump from the eighth rank to the fifth rank. However, it is also a heavy responsibility. The ancestors summoned you back to Jinling, and once met, he will arrange for you to go to the northern line , It’s not about staying behind the stable army, but I hope you will lead the team to clear the way for the army to map, this is a job that is a hundred times more dangerous than going to sea to draw an island map, you have to be mentally prepared.”

Tu Xiao cupped his hands and said: "The students will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

This is also expected.

He was always asking for wealth and danger, but His Majesty the Emperor suddenly entrusted him with an important task, and gave him a fifth grade that he had never even imagined before. How could it be easy to skip six levels?
Seeing that Tu Xiao was not timid, Zhu Yuan was a little surprised, but he didn't pursue it too much.

Opening the drawer of the desk, Zhu Yuan took out a letter, saw a ball of silk, thought of it, and took it out together, and said: "My ancestors only want you alone, and it is for my sake. However, I also want to For the sake of the ancestors, you can ask later, as long as the Surveying and Mapping Office is willing to go to the north to make contributions, you can go back with you. I believe that the ancestors will not treat them badly. In addition, these are some suggestions that I took the time to write two days ago. After Jinling, discuss with your ancestors, mainly about the northern route, my attitude is that you don’t need to pay too much attention to the west, you should focus on the north, and find out the terrain and roads around Dadu, so as to provide a reference for the army to attack Huanglong in the future.”

Tu Xiao agreed, stepped forward to pick up the letter, and did not open it in a hurry, waiting for Zhu Yuan to continue.

Zhu Yuan turned to the ball of silk again, unfolded it with a smile, and wrapped a section of wax head in it: "This is something you mentioned in your report a few days ago. In order to determine the potential of mountains and rivers, is it possible to build a high Watchtower, huh, the watchtower of tens of feet you want is unrealistic, but if you are not afraid of death, there is another way."

Speaking of asking Tu Xiao to come over and help unfold the ball of silk, Zhu Yuan found Huozhe and lit the wax heads attached to the silk threads below.

In just a moment, the ball of silk unfolded into a net bag under the heat.

Zhu Yuan wrapped a silk thread under the wax head around the cap of the pen casually, and signaled: "You can let it go."

Tu Xiao let go of his hand, and saw the silk net bag in front of him slowly float up, until it was higher than the thin and tall man, and then it was pulled to a stop by the thin thread.

Zhu Yuan still sat on the chair, looked up at the small Kongming lantern, and said: "I have told you the truth in some previous courses. Air, like water, also has weight. Furthermore, thermal expansion Cold shrinks, the air expands when heated, the density decreases, and it becomes lighter relative to the surrounding air, which will produce buoyancy. This kind of lamp also has a name called Kongming lamp. It is rumored that it was first invented by Zhuge Wuhou of Western Shu. If you want to climb high, you can Build a super-sized Kongming lantern, I call it a hot air balloon. Remember to tie a rope underneath, otherwise, with the current technical conditions, it will be difficult for people on the hot air balloon to settle down if they fly away.”

Having said that, Zhu Yuan found a piece of paper, quickly drew a sketch of a hot air balloon with charcoal, and pushed it to Tu Xiao, who was still looking up at the opposite side: "Okay, that's all. Take the lamp away too." , Think about it yourself. By the way, you are not allowed to leave it around without tying a rope, and it will cause a fire if it falls. If this happens in the future, I only ask you!"

Seeing that Tu Xiao was still looking up with his mouth slightly open, Zhu Yuan tapped on the table lightly: "Come back to your senses, since you study physics, you should understand that this is just a trail, don't act like an ignorant marketer same as the common people."

Only then did Tu Xiao come back to his senses, and quickly apologized for his gaffe, but he said: "Sir, even if you understand the truth, the students have never seen such a magical thing, this Kongming lantern... the students have read "Three Kingdoms", Wu There seems to be no record in the biography of Hou Lie."

Zhu Yuan untied the string of the small lamp and handed it to Tu Xiao, then pushed the page of the hot air balloon sketch: "I'm very busy, I don't have time to discuss this with you, go and get ready, I'm leaving after lunch."

Tu Xiao took it carefully, like pulling a weird little kite, put away the imperial letter, draft and other things, and did not forget to salute Zhu Yuan before turning and leaving.

When Tu Xiao went out, Zhu Yuan put aside the hot air balloon, a trivial matter that could be pretended in ancient times, in a blink of an eye. After writing the letter to Lao Zhu, he was about to go outside the city to check the Hangzhou grain ship that arrived yesterday. Fu Shouhe Shen Mao came to see him together.

The two brought over 20 taels of silver.

With Lao Zhu's approval, in recent days, the first batch of seven maritime trade company licenses have been finalized quickly, and some maritime merchants have already paid the license fees one after another.

Lao Zhu personally divided the shareholding ratio of a sea trade company license involving Huagao. When the news came, Huagao had no objection, Fu Shou had no objection, and the Shen family had no objection. When it comes to Zhu Yuan, what other opinions can there be?
Zhu Yuan is not a saint either.

There is no place close to the water to leave a copy for myself, in order to avoid suspicion.But since Lao Zhu offered it on his own initiative, he will not be polite.

However, Lao Zhu said that he and Huagao could be exempted from corresponding license fees, and Zhu Yuan refused to accept it.

This money is of great use, and Zhu Yuan doesn't want to make himself too special.

After discussing with Huagao, the two insisted on making up the money by borrowing from the other two partners, and planned to repay it through the income of the sea trade company in the future.

In fact, it is still a white wolf with empty gloves.

However, not only did the other two who were caught in the quilt not refuse, they were also very happy. Since everyone is happy, there is no need to be too serious.What's more, Zhu Yuan is also confident that he will bring more benefits to the partners in the future, and he has no intention of not paying back the money if it is used.

Speaking of the division of shares in maritime trade companies, some maritime merchants have also raised objections recently.

For this license related to Zhu Yuan, there are only four partnerships, but for other licenses, there are more than ten or twenty companies at every turn. Referring to the sea trade company plan given by Zhu Yuan, I hope that all companies will unify their finances and operate in partnership. Some sea merchants can't accept it.

Zhu Yuan didn't insist either.

As long as each family manages their accounts clearly, does not evade taxes or evades taxes, and wants to operate separately under the same license, there is no problem.

Of course, in addition to taxes, an additional [-]% of the annual income still has to be handed over.

No one disputes that at all.

That being the case, then everyone will do according to their own ideas.

It is also impossible for Zhu Yuan to tell them that even if a large trading company with a monopoly nature in later generations only holds 5% of the shares, as long as it is properly managed and the scale is enlarged, not only the shares themselves will become a very large fortune, but the annual income Also quite rich.

In comparison, it is obvious that we can become bigger and stronger together, but some people insist on the family workshop model, which is tantamount to giving up their own advantages.

This is the time limit.

Zhu Yuan can only wait for the future to teach them what to do with facts.
