After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 88 Beginning of the Renaissance

Because Confucius said the phrase "do what you want without breaking the rules", Lu Chang and Gao Qi didn't dare to object after hearing it.

"Open your mouth and shut your mouth, Mr. Qin, your respect for him will catch up with me." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But the sage's words are indeed very good, a man born in heaven and earth has a clear conscience in everything, and there is no need to worry too much. In order to take care of other people's feelings, are you tired of wearing a mask all day to show people? What we hate the most are those hypocrites who pretend to do things behind their backs."

"And that's what we did. We used thunderous tactics against those corrupt officials, so we weren't afraid that the historian would record it in the history books."

"Your Majesty, as a teacher, it is not appropriate for Mr. Qin to teach students to do whatever they want." Gao Qi said, "Children are playful by nature. If they follow their inner playfulness, won't they delay their studies?"

"Master Gao, what you said is biased." Zhu Chun said, "Have you forgotten the three words "not overstepping the rules"? "The Book of Changes" says: Tianxingjian is self-improvement. For school children, self-improvement is also the most basic. The rules cannot be broken.”

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has a strong record, and the old minister admires it." Gao Qi said.He has a good relationship with Song Lian, and he has always wanted to fight for Song Lian, and he wanted to target Mr. Qin who robbed Song Lian of the position of the prince's grandfather, but he did not expect to be easily resolved by the king of Shu.

I remember that the King of Shu was not so powerful before, why did it feel like a different person after following that Mr. Qin for a few days?Gao Qi was surprised.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that as the prince of Shu, it is inappropriate to do business in the street..." Lu Chang remonstrated again, wanting Zhu Yuanzhang to stop Zhu Chun, "The people are talking about the prince and the Ministry of Household in the street, this... What kind of system?"

"Lord Lu." Zhu Chun said, "What if I say that from now on, the food and clothing expenses of the King of Shu do not need to be allocated by the Ministry of Household?"

The food and clothing of the members of the royal family are allocated by the Ministry of Household, which is also a large expenditure for the Ministry of Household.And the reason why Zhu Chun did this was that he wanted to exchange for this that the Ministry of Household would no longer oppose him doing business.

When Lu Chang heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, this old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has done this... and it is understandable."

"Lu Chang, your face is changing too fast, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfiedly, "In order to save some money for the household, you don't even want your face? You...you are too greedy for money."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is indeed greedy for money, but the old minister is not greedy for himself but for the people of the world." Lu Chang said, "The reason why the old minister objected at first was because the king of Shu was selling soap to make money for himself, and it did not benefit Daming at all. But now the King of Shu does not want the money from the Ministry of Household, which saves money for the Ministry of Household. The Ministry of Household will have more money to support the country's development of farming, construction of water conservancy, and relief to disaster victims..."

"His Royal Highness Shu has done this, which has brought benefits to the people of the world. Of course, the old minister will no longer object."

"You are sincere." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"The old minister is already seventy-five this year, and he must learn from the saint to do what he wants without breaking the rules." Lu Chang said, "The old minister can say what he thinks boldly, and he is not afraid of the emperor's punishment. It doesn't matter whether the emperor scolds the old minister for being greedy for money or cunning, the old minister As long as you don't violate the most basic rule of thinking about the people of the world, it's fine."

"You also learn very quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "How about you, Gao Qi?"

"The minister also feels that this matter should not only punish the King of Shu, but should also vigorously reward it." Gao Qi said, "Let other princes and princesses learn from the King of Shu and no longer use the money of the Ministry."

"Co-authoring, we have worked so hard to conquer this great Ming Dynasty, and our sons and daughters can't enjoy the benefits of the country?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "You actually want them to support themselves and earn money?"

"Chen, I don't dare." Gao Qi quickly explained, "I just think that the King of Shu is very capable and worth learning from other princes and princesses..."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"His Royal Highness King of Shu, Shen Wansan is asking to see you." At this time, a servant stepped forward and said to Zhu Chun.

"This Shen Wansan has a good nose. Hearing that the soap sold by the King of Shu is better than all soaps, he immediately smells the smell of silver. He really deserves to be the number one businessman in Daming." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Father, do you want to cooperate with him?" Zhu Chun stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"You are the master of your own affairs. If you want to be a businessman like Lu Buwei, you should be able to see the stakes in cooperating with him." Zhu Yuanzhang said to the two ministers beside him, "Let's go and drive back to the palace."

……

As soon as I walked into the Fengtian Temple, I saw the ministers whispering.

At this moment, there is a young woman above the court, with a peerless appearance and gorgeous clothes, showing the royal style. It is Zhu Yingrao, the princess of Ningguo.

She couldn't help frowning: "Ying'er, without our will, what are you doing in the court?"

"Reporting to the emperor, my son wants to ask the Imperial Academy to help him print a book, and I came here to ask the father for an order." Zhu Yingrao knelt down and saluted.

"Print books?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. "Can you write books? So many great scholars in the court have not printed books, so you want to print them? Are you more knowledgeable than them?"

Publishing books in ancient times was a very important matter. Only a scholar with high knowledge and high prestige was qualified to be published by the imperial court.Of course, there are also private publications that have their own money, but they have no influence.

Ning Kingdom Princess Zhu Yingrao was not only not a great scholar, but also a woman.

Therefore, the ministers were also surprised when they heard the words.In terms of knowledge, Princess Ningguo is completely unqualified.

Obviously, the ministers of the Hanlin Academy would not agree to her request, unless it was Zhu Yuanzhang's decree.

"Father, my son doesn't want to publish his own books, and my son doesn't have that much knowledge. My son wants to publish Mr. Qin's books." Zhu Yingrao said, "When my son was studying with Mr. Qin, I listened to him. There are many stories told, such as "Dragon and Snake Romance", "Fight Breaking the Sphere", Erchen thinks that every story told by Mr. is fascinating, making people want to listen to the second paragraph after listening to the first paragraph..."

"And when Mr. Qin told us about "World History", he said that there must be a Renaissance before the Industrial Revolution. The role of the Renaissance is to liberate the minds of the people and advocate individuality against ignorance..."

"Only when the mind is emancipated can people's creativity be greatly enhanced, and new things can be accepted, thus starting the industrial revolution."

"Erchen feels that Mr. Qin's "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and "Breaking the Sky"... If it is printed as a book, I am afraid it will become the pioneering masterpiece of Ming Dynasty's realization of the Renaissance. Just like the Western "Divine Comedy" and "Ten Days" "Tan" and "The Legend of Giants" are the same. Moreover, Mr. Qin will also talk about the son-in-law of the god of war and the overbearing president, which can contribute to the Renaissance in Daming."

"The story of "Dragon and Snake" and "Dragon and Snake" and "Breaking the Sphere" told by Mr. Chen are fascinating and imaginative, and have never been seen before. Erchen guessed that "Dragon and Snake" is better than "The Divine Comedy"? "Fighting and Breaking the Sphere" The artistic value of "Ten Days Talk" is higher than that of "Ten Days", and the literary value of "Covering the Sky" must surpass that of "The Legend of Giants""

Princess Ning Guo wants to start the Renaissance for Ming Dynasty?The ministers were dumbfounded.
