Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 167 Enke Grand Ceremony
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in mud legs. Apart from fighting, he is most familiar with several kinds of land.

For all kinds of agricultural tools, it is even more handy.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying had already understood what Zhu Xiongying was talking about when he thought about it for a while.

Farm cattle are very precious in this era, which is why private slaughter of farm cattle has been prohibited in all dynasties. Although beef is delicious, it is illegal to eat it.

Especially because of the severe cold last year, many cattle froze to death, and it was even more difficult.

There is a shortage of cattle, and many people can only use hemp ropes to pull the plows, which is very, very laborious, but there is nothing they can do.

At this time, if there is really a plow tool that can replace the plow cattle a little bit, it will be very useful.

The sub-farming frame uses a long cable to connect two potter's wheels together. Two people stand on both sides of the potter's wheel, and one person holds the plow behind to keep the plow in the forward direction.The two ends of the pulley are equipped with criss-cross pegs, and the two people pull the pegs by hand, so that the "substitute tillage frame" drives the plow forward.

Pulling the pegs with hands, and rolling the potter's wheel instead of purely manpower pulling the plow, so that the purpose of saving energy is achieved.At the same time, the triangular herringbone frame is conducive to maintaining the stability of the shelf.

Three people cooperate and take turns to cooperate, thus improving production efficiency.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Fu Zengxiang praised the "daigengjia" and said: "After the Xianfeng chaos, there were no cattle in Zhejiang Province, so it was convenient for people to use this substitute farming."

"Good stuff!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with burning eyes: "Let Zhao Mian promote it when we go back..."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly froze for a moment.

Only then did he realize that Zhao Mian had committed suicide in fear of crime.

"Hey--"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "What a good seedling, why did he engage in corruption!"

For Zhao Mian, the old man felt rather sorry.

Zhao Mian was brought together by the old man, and Zhao Mian is Liu Sanwu's son-in-law, and Liu Sanwu is a literati that Zhu Yuanzhang respects, so it can be said that he is rooted in Miaohong.

Facts have proved that many corrupt officials in the prosperous age are often capable officials.

Because only by doing more things can they gain more benefits from it.

And these interests also drive them to do more things.

However, no matter how capable you are, the old man will not let him go if it is just a greedy word.

Zhu Xiongying looked at the emotional Zhu Yuanzhang, and comforted him: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has been in the limelight for hundreds of years."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Okay, let's say that there are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

"That's right, Daming won't stop functioning just because Zhao Mian is missing. I'm a big Ming, and there's no shortage of talents!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is such a person, who never indulges in the sorrows of the past, and has been making progress and moving forward all his life.

"Go, let's go back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and called Zhu Xiongying back to the palace.

Leisure time is of course good, but Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to waste time on it. He doesn't know how many years he has left. He wants to use the remaining time to do more things for the Ming Dynasty he founded.

Back to the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xiongying straight to the Guozijian.

"Ten years of suffering in the cold window, the success is known to the world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Once the students are named on the gold list, they will jump into the dragon's gate, haha!"

"Da Sun, we want to hold Enke as soon as possible to recruit talents for the imperial court. What do you think?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said with a smile: "Grandson raised his hands in favor!"

"Ha ha--"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and said to Li Yuanming, the Minister of Rites, "This Enke in Ming Dynasty must be done well, so that all the students in the world can see that our imperial court attaches great importance to imperial examinations and Confucianism. Once the students achieve something, The imperial court will only accept it according to its capacity!"

"Let them feel that studying in our Great Ming Dynasty has a bright future!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

Li Yuanming cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the examination institute has been prepared. The provincial examinations have been completed last year. The number of Enke candidates and the food, rice and road expenses prepared by the imperial court have also been announced to each province. We just wait for Your Majesty's favor." It's the date of the University Ceremony!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Have you seen the days?"

"seen it already."

With that said, Li Yuanming handed over a list of dates.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the list and said, "Then it should be sooner rather than later, and it will be the third day of the next month."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Li Yuanming handed over his command.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, has anyone been selected for the post of director of Enke?"

"deal."

Li Yuanming replied: "A year ago, Liu Sanwu was appointed as the director, but..."

Li Yuanming didn't go on, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew that what he wanted to talk about was Liu Sanwu's son-in-law Zhao Mian.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and said: "The ancients said that a virtuous person does not avoid relatives. Zhao Mian is Zhao Mian, and Liu Sanwu is Liu Sanwu. Liu Sanwu is the director of Enke. There is no need to change it."

"Yes."

Li Yuanming cupped his hands and replied.

"Go, call Liu Sanwu."

"Yes."

……

After a while, Liu Sanwu arrived.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Sanwu immediately prostrated himself on the ground: "Chen, Liu Sanwu, I have seen His Majesty, His Highness Grandson!"

"Get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand.

However, Liu Sanwu didn't get up, and still knelt down: "I have no way to teach a daughter, and I'm guilty!"

"Ah--"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said: "Liu Sanwu, if I remember correctly, you once impeached the princes for being stubborn, now you know that the children are not easy to teach, right?"

"My lord, I'm guilty!"

Liu Sanwu prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help feeling refreshed.

He has many heirs, so it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed, especially after several princes came to the feudal domain, they committed crimes and were impeached several times by upright ministers in the court. Liu Sanwu was one of them.

But what they said was the truth, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do anything to them, so he could only sulk, hating those princes for not being up to date.

Now, Liu Sanwu probably also deeply felt this feeling.

It is not easy to have children, especially children who do not live up to expectations, and it is even more tiring for parents.

Not everyone can be like his grandson.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but looked at Zhu Xiongying proudly, feeling a little baffled by Zhu Xiongying.

"It's good to be guilty, get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again, and Liu Sanwu was willing to stand up.

"Liu Sanwu, we called you here this time not to ask about your crimes, but to entrust you with a heavy responsibility."

Hearing this, Liu Sanwu was startled, only to hear Zhu Yuanzhang continue: "We want you to continue to host the Enke ceremony this time, how about it?"

Liu Sanwu was startled again.

He was already prepared to be abandoned by the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility.

"emperor……"

Liu Sanwu's eyes were a little red, and he knelt down immediately: "The emperor's kindness, I am deeply moved, and I will give you an order to thank you!"

"remember."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This time, Enke must ensure fairness and justice, and recruit useful talents for our Ming Dynasty!"

"Minister, obey the order!" Liu Sanwu kowtowed.

Zhu Xiongying at the side sighed slightly.

He knew that Enke was not so easy to host this time, and he was afraid that something would happen...
