I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 11 Long live, you are crazy!
For Zhu Youjian, the "heavenly crafted creation (primary) blueprint" rewarded by the dog system seems to be useless.

Because this book is neither about steam engines, nor does it involve muskets, tanks, cannons, etc., it turned out to be a meaningless "Heavenly Creation"?
Moreover, it was written clearly on the cover that the author was not Zhu Youjian, but Song Yingxing.

Who is this Song Yingxing?
The name is a bit familiar, as if I have seen it in some historical books...

By the way, this Song Yingxing was from the Ming Dynasty, moreover, he should be from this era!
Dog system What does this mean?Are you recommending me a prodigal little expert?

Zhu Youjian glanced through it roughly. This "Tiangong Kaiwu" has three volumes and eighteen chapters. The book includes agriculture and handicrafts, such as machinery, bricks, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, Dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction and other production technologies.

Moreover, a combination of text and pictures is always used, so that half-illiterate people like Zhu Youjian can understand it.

It's a pity that Zhu Youxiao, the elder brother of the late emperor, has already ascended to heaven. Otherwise, this Song Yingxing would definitely be able to ascend to heaven in one step if he presented this book, and he might be able to become a minister of the Ministry of Industry or something.

'This thing is useless, and it can't be a prodigal...'

Zhu Youjian held the exchanged booklet in his hand, with a look of lovelessness on his face.

He began to figure out how to quickly convert this useless 'natural creation' into his 'prodigal value'.

Finally, Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, and he thought about it!

If Wei Zhongxian were to be in charge of printing this useless 'Book of Strange and Obscene Skills' and distribute it throughout the country in the Ming Dynasty, it would be a waste of money, right?

In addition, if it can be combined with the full implementation of public academies in the Ming Dynasty, so that the students will read less books of sages and sages, worry less about the country and the people there, and free up some of the energy used by those guys to criticize the government, criticize the current situation, and denounce the emperor. Learning this useless 'heavenly creation'...

Tsk tsk, Zhu Youjian laughed when he thought of the 'prodigal value' that was going up.

"Come on, pass on Wei Zhongxian!"

This kind of prodigal generosity, without the treacherous minister Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youjian really can't play it.

Because, that old eunuch can make money...

……

After more than half an hour, Zhu Youjian almost fell asleep in a daze, when Wei Zhongxian, the treacherous minister, rushed over, sweating all over his head and face.

Even the crimson brocade robe he was wearing was wet several times.

"Long live lord..."

Before entering the door, Wei Zhongxian's male duck's throat let out a dry howl, which startled Zhu Youjian.

How old is this treacherous minister, yet he is so immature and prudent, how can he follow me to corrupt Chaogang and corrupt the Ming Dynasty in the future!

"Long Live Lord is overjoyed, Long Live Lord, it's crazy, it's crazy!"

As soon as he entered the door, the eunuch threw himself on the ground with a 'plop', happily announcing the good news to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "It's not easy for Wei Aiqing. In order to win favor and protect herself in front of her new master, she actually abused herself like this..."

It seems that in the future, Wei Zhongxian, a treacherous official, will have to be... more ruthless.

Let him find a way to get more money for me to have fun and squander.

"Wei Aiqing, what's going crazy?" Zhu Youjian asked a little strangely.

In the middle of the night, apart from those big-faced dishes in Yanzhi Hutong, what else can sell like crazy?

"Long live, it's the late emperor's furniture," Wei Zhongxian took half a bowl of herbal tea handed over by the emperor, gulped it down, wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his robe, and said happily:
"Qian Qianyi, Mr. Qian is too good at doing business. By mourning the late emperor and scolding the eunuchs, he gathered a large number of remnants of the Donglin Party and wealthy businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to hold a gathering of the late emperor's bereavement in the Jiangnan Guild Hall outside Zhengyangmen. , the late emperor's furniture, every single item fetched sky-high prices..."

Zhu Youjian: "..."

He looked at the joyful eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and was really speechless.

People are gathering in the guild hall, and the auction of the furniture made by the late emperor is probably just an excuse, mainly to scold the eunuch party, right?

This Wei Zhongxian, as long as he can make money, will he lose his face?
Of course, this is the self-confidence of the great eunuch. If you scold you, they don't care at all.

"Shouldn't you just sell a few pieces of furniture? Looks like you're so happy, isn't your eye socket too shallow?" Zhu Youjian scolded with a smile: "People are still scolding the eunuch."

"Long Live Lord, as long as they can pay for the funeral of the late emperor, they can scold them as much as they want," Wei Zhongxian said with a flattering smile, "Literati, if you don't scold the dead eunuch a few times, it won't show that they are clean, it's actually pretty good. "

Zhu Youjian looked Wei Zhongxian up and down, sighed emotionally, and said softly: "Zhongxian, I have wronged you."

Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, stood with hands down, and did not express any gratitude, but his expression was a little sad, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

Zhu Youjian was greatly relieved that this treacherous minister was finally about to become his own.

It seems that the future of the prodigal family is just around the corner!

"Zhongxian, make me a pot of hot tea." Zhu Youjian leaned back on the dragon couch, wanting to groan a few times comfortably, "Have you been so busy these days, are you tired?"

"Come on, tell me about selling furniture."

Wei Zhongxian quickly made a pot of tea, began to skillfully pinch Zhu Youjian's legs and feet, and said with a smug smile: "This time, thanks to the ingenious plan of Lord Long Live!

That Mr. Qian Qianyi, who was originally from a rich merchant's family, knew how to do business. After dressing up and dressing up, he abruptly sold a farm tool made by the late emperor for 7000 taels of silver!

Before the servants left the Jiangnan Guild Hall, they had already sold more than forty pieces..."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zhongxian relayed the excitement of the scene to Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian was a little moved when he heard it, and couldn't help but want to join in the fun.

Still, think about it.

It was originally a good auction of royal objects, and the reason why those civil servants, wealthy businessmen, and princes and nobles flocked to it was nothing more than gathering together, cursing a few words about the court, the emperor, and the eunuchs, drinking a few glasses of flower wine, and listening to a few songs. Xiao Qu'er, it's just a joke.

As for the late emperor's benevolence and royal rain and dew, go ahead and lie to the ghosts, who doesn't know that Emperor Tianqi is a foolish and incompetent emperor?
It's too disappointing for me, the emperor, to go uninvited.

The prodigal behavior of the officials of the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a certain degree of psychological impact...

This stupid thing of self-destructing the Great Wall and throwing stones at one's own feet is enough to make Zhu Youjian upset, so how can he make the same mistake again!
In the last early court, he encouraged the civil and military ministers to start a style of extravagance and waste, open their bellies to eat extravagantly, and tried to lead the trend of eating and drinking by setting an example.

As a result, it backfired, and Zhu Youjian lost six "prodigal points" in vain.

"Zhongxian, roughly estimate how much money you can get from the auction of the late emperor's furniture this time?" Zhu Youjian asked lazily.

"Long Live Lord, according to the preliminary estimates of the servant girl, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Qian, we should be able to get more than 300 million taels of cash." Wei Zhongxian said happily: "This does not include the proceeds from the subsequent auction of the timber stored in the internal warehouse..."

Hearing that millions of taels of silver could be made at once, Zhu Youjian was in a good mood.

However, that kind of prodigal behavior is just a drizzle for him. Thinking that he will have more than 8000 prodigal points for his next upgrade, Zhu Youjian feels a little toothache.

"By the way, I have an idle book here, you can see if it is useful or not."

Suddenly, Zhu Youjian remembered the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" rewarded by the system, so he picked it up from the desk and threw it to Wei Zhongxian: "By the way, check this person named Song Yingxing. Let him go to the Ministry of Works."

Wei Zhongxian solemnly took over the book "Heavenly Creations", and just flipped through a few pages, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Long Live Lord, this book...who gave it to you?"

"Why, is there a problem?" Zhu Youjian was stunned and asked casually.

"This Song Yingxing, I'm afraid...has been murdered!" Wei Zhongxian's rarely seen face became serious, and the decree lines at the corners of his mouth could almost pinch two flies to death.

"The Donglin Party harmed the country, and the literati harmed the country, long live!"
