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

Chapter 21: Fried Land?
Zhu Youjian said the heartfelt words, so he said it, and he didn't have any psychological burden.

Anyway, the main purpose is to fool this Wei Zhongxian into one of his own, and hope that he will stop thinking about palace fights and kill him, the idiot emperor.

But for Wei Zhongxian, it was a big shock.

He followed and served three generations of emperors Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi. From a low-level person, he climbed step by step to eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the admiral of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and controlled the government for more than ten years;

Except that Emperor Taichang didn't like him and wanted to get rid of him, so he had no choice but to let him go and even help the Donglin party members to create a "Hongwan case" and kill that old guy in the harem...

The two emperors Wanli and Tianqi actually favored him very much.

But the favored and trusted ones just regarded Wei Zhongxian as an old eunuch, a plaything, or even a butcher's knife in the hands of the emperor to eliminate dissidents, and never regarded him as a human being.

Only the new emperor not only reused him, but also treated him as a human being.

Even he himself may not have noticed this kind of secret psychological change, but he just felt that although the idiot emperor in front of him was not a good ruler of the country, at least he had a good character.

The only problem is that it's such a fucking prodigal. ...

"Long Live Lord, I don't know if I should say something or not?" Wei Zhongxian got up from the ground and asked in a low voice while pouring tea for the emperor.

"That's all. Between us, the monarch and his ministers, what worries do we have?" Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"Long live Lord's words made the servants suddenly enlightened, and many things that they couldn't understand before, all of a sudden understood," Wei Zhongxian said with a rainbow fart first, and then said:

"The food and clothing expenses of only [-] to [-] students are nothing to our Ming Dynasty."

"Long Live Lord, this servant thinks, since everyone in the world has to learn skills such as farming, mining, and iron, there are still some people who should enter the university...but... the number is a bit large."

"Zhongxian, you are just unhappy and hesitant, are you talking to each other? Or are you talking to me!"

Zhu Youjian laughed and cursed, kicked the treacherous official Wei Zhongxian hard, and said: "Hurry up, I have to recharge my energy and go to sleep at night!"

Wei Zhongxian smiled and understood.

This idiot emperor has no great abilities, except that he is in good health.

"Long Live Lord, this servant wants Jinyiwei and the eunuchs of Dongchang to also enter Daming Academy..." Wei Zhongxian said cautiously: "Slave promises that I won't spend an extra tael of silver!"

"How can that be done!" Zhu Youjian was furious, turned over and sat up, staring at Wei Zhongxian with piercing eyes.

Wei Zhongxian was terrified, and knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', and cried out in great regret: "Long Live Lord, you should punish this servant severely, this servant is trespassing and violates the legacy of Taizu..."

Zhu Youjian: "..."

That's not what he meant.

What Zhu Youjian meant was that if you don't spend extra money, how can you do that?This treacherous minister misinterpreted my meaning.

"How to improve the quality of teaching without spending extra money!" Zhu Youjian reprimanded righteously: "Wei Zhongxian listened to the order, and from now on, an additional [-] copies of relevant teaching materials will be compiled and printed, and sent to every eunuch as soon as possible, and Take their academic performance as one of the main contents of the year-end assessment!"

"In addition, all qualified eunuchs, it is best to go to the school to go through the official enrollment procedures. All food and clothing expenses are based on the original salary, plus the share of other students!"

Tsk tsk, one hundred thousand eunuchs are entering the school!

Isn't this the more than 100 million taels of silver spent in vain, spent like running water?
The previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not good enough. How could there be 50 eunuchs?If there are three and a half million...

"Long live, this matter...is it possible?"

Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously.

It's no wonder that he was suspicious, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had a legacy that eunuchs were not allowed to engage in politics, and were not allowed to learn to read and write, in case their reading would damage their brains, which would cause endless harm.

Later, I don’t know from that generation of emperors, in order to restrain courtiers, they began to quietly train eunuchs to read and write, and finally formed the current situation.

The emperor can encourage the eunuchs to read and read, so as to help them deal with the government, reduce the burden on the emperor, and firmly control the imperial power from falling into the hands of courtiers.

But if the eunuch asks for it himself, and wants to study and learn skills, it is a big taboo...

"Of course you can, and it's too good!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "Isn't it just a matter of spending more money?"

"Zhongxian, you must always remember what I said. If a problem can be solved with money, is that still a problem?"

Wei Zhongxian thought: "The problem is that there is no money..."

Looking at Wei Zhongxian's face, Zhu Youjian knew that the treacherous minister didn't take his words seriously, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you joking in your heart, saying that the problem is that you don't have money?"

Wei Zhongxian was startled, he waved his hands again and again, and said with a wry smile: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"

……

All of a sudden, more than 3 students and [-] eunuchs were settled, and Zhu Youjian almost laughed out loud.

Because, when he personally promised to let one hundred thousand eunuchs enroll, his more than 1 'prodigal value' arrived in the account.

Although it can't be upgraded for the time being, but if you find a way to make it together, you can increase your lifespan to 120 years old!

"Zhongxian, with such a huge number of students, the Xinwang Mansion must not be enough?" Zhu Youjian suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Long live Lord, it's really far from enough." Wei Zhongxian was a little elated just now, but when he thought of the specific difficulties, his face immediately pulled down, "The slaves have personally measured and estimated, and Xinwang's mansion can accommodate no. 80 people at most. .

There are tens of thousands more students all of a sudden, and they can't stand up! Long live! "

Zhu Youjian groaned a few times, thinking hard about how to expand the territory and make money by the way.

"What did the other ministers say?"

"Several adults from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households think that it is best to buy the entire land around Xinwang Mansion and re-plan it..."

Hearing the word 'land', Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up.

"Wei Zhongxian, bring the map!" Zhu Youjian said anxiously.

"Map... what map, Lord Long Live?" Wei Zhongxian was bewildered.

This new master really wants to come out, this is not discussing the establishment of the 'Daming Academy', why do you want to see the map all of a sudden?Is this trying to show off its "high strategic position" in terms of armaments and defense?

"The map of the capital, do you want me to look at the defense map of the Liaodong slaves!" Zhu Youjian said angrily, "I want to make room for our university hall!

Moreover, let the big guy make a fortune by the way! "

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to ask any more questions, he ran out of Qianqing Palace, summoned a eunuch at the gate, gave some instructions in a low voice, and stood waiting at the gate of the main hall.

The eunuch stood with his hands behind his back, watching the sunset, a flock of gray homing pigeons flew across the sky, and the crisp and sweet whistle sounded, which gradually calmed his troubles.

This new master is clearly a big idiot, he never worries about business, all the f*ck is bullshit!
Slave, it's too difficult.

If it weren't for his good character, I really wish I could send hundreds of Jiangnan beauties to earn this kid to death...
