Chapter 161 Changes in Zhuangzhong
Speaking of Dabentang, Zhu Su remembered Yao Guangxiao's words.Yao Guangxiao once suggested to himself that it would be best to move the place where the princes are taught from the main hall in the palace to the Huangzhuang at the foot of Bifeng Mountain.

Zhu Su deeply agrees with this strategy.With all the princes brought here, he would not be so conspicuous.The education of the prince is exactly the responsibility of Queen Ma, and this matter happened to be told to Queen Ma.

Of course, there must be another reason. Zhu Su thought of many reasons. For example, as a prince who lives in the deep palace for a long time, it is easy to be separated from the masses and difficult to understand the people's sentiments. ...It's a set of words.

"Di'er asked you to come, right?" Empress Ma chuckled lightly. "He has come here to make trouble these days, saying that you are lonely in Huangzhuang, he should accompany you as an elder brother. I think he is just tired of studying in Dabentang every day!"

He said with a sigh. "Ever since you told your father about the afterlife, he has been more indifferent to Di'er. Thanks to Di'er, he understands himself, and he didn't blame your father after all." He said and shook his head.I thought it would be good to let Zhu Di go out of the palace to be with Zhu Su. "Mother will discuss it with your father. The young princes and princesses can't live without their mothers and concubines. It's not easy for your brothers to come and live alone."

"In the future, if your father agrees, then let the princes and princesses of Kaimeng go to your Huangzhuang to be your companions!"

"Great! Thank you." Zhu Su was overjoyed.If Empress Arima speaks, the matter is likely to be settled!

"You should take care of your own affairs first!" Empress Ma suddenly changed the subject, staring at Zhu Susu. "Mother is very fond of that daughter of the Xu family. She was regarded as a daughter-in-law early in the morning."

"The only ones who are suitable to be married to him are the fourth child and you. You must take down that girl!"

"If my daughter-in-law flies away and marries someone else, don't call me your mother in the future!"

Empress Ma actually knew about this!Zhu Su's expression suddenly became embarrassing, this time he was not only following the imperial decree to pick up girls, but also the Yi decree, he murmured a few words in response and fled from Kunning Palace.

Empress Ma was left laughing happily inside.

……

After winter, Bifeng Mountain is not too bleak, the forest is still lush and green, but it has a few touches of withered yellow color.On the cement road in front of the village, several farmers are cleaning the dirt and fallen leaves on the road.The concrete road is solid and easy to clean. The dirt roads in the past become sticky when they get a little rainy. Stepping on them is not only disgusting but also wastes shoes.

How good is this cement road, not to mention a little rain, even if it is washed with water, it will be fine. Such a good road is not available in Yingtian City, the capital of Huangdu. How can farmers not take good care of it?On weekdays, when stepping on the cement road, you have to clean up the dirt on the soles of your shoes beside the road, and then you dare to step on the road carefully.I'm afraid that this beautiful cement road will be stained with a little dust!

Those outsiders who have killed a thousand knives have a pile of yellow mud on their soles, and they are ashamed to carry their burdens and step on our cement roads, and they can't drive them away even if they set up a stall in our Suwangzhuang with a shy face!

Zhuangzi's farmers became more energetic, and they looked down on those sloppy outsiders more and more.Under the urging of the heads of the village with red armbands, the village can be regarded as spotless. Anyone hiding in the woods and shitting and urinating must be outsiders.Those who go down to the river to take a bath will be chased by the elderly with sticks and beaten for three or four streets.The prince said, this is all to prevent Zhuangzi from being infected with the plague. Those outsiders are messing around in our Zhuangzi. Isn't this causing our Zhuangzi to suffer from the plague?
The prince is righteous!I thought that a prince would come to Huangzhuang, and he would definitely do his best to us miserable people, but the prince of our Han people is different from those Yuan people, and he is righteous to our own family members!Not to mention the establishment of such a large and lively market, there are countless people who come here to listen to books and drink wine every day. During the slack season, making some cooking cakes and selling them on the cement road is enough to go home and repair the house.

The lord has set up a large storefront for our village people to sell some products from the field.As long as the things are delivered to the gate of the hall, the stewards of Huangzhuang will naturally pay the money and deliver the goods at the market price. In the past, if you want to sell some local products, you have to go to the city early in the morning to go to the market. Go out, this is the lord taking us peasants to make a fortune!How can there be such a good thing in the past?
Not to mention that the prince also allocated cement from the cement kiln in Zhuangzi to build houses for the villagers. The houses built with cement are flat and firm, not to mention warm in winter and cool in summer. Now whoever lives in a shed in Zhuangzi will be ridiculed by the whole village , the prince is so supportive but still can't get rich, what can he be if he is not a lazy man?As long as you are willing to do it, the prince bought so many properties for the village, which one can't make a cement house?

Even the land lord of the farmer considered it. The black mud of unknown substance was poured into the field under the arrangement of the steward of the Huangzhuang, and the cultivated land that used to be like yellow sand gradually became as if it could squeeze out grease.Although it is not yet the spring plowing season, it is not known how many crops such fertile fields can produce, but the farmers are full of hope for the coming spring plowing.

Farmers affectionately call this place "Suwangzhuang".Why not call it Wuwangzhuang?Our Zhuangzi is the root of His Highness. Although this is not His Highness's fiefdom, His Highness is our prince. Why do we have to call His Highness King Wu according to his fiefdom?So under the leadership of which householder, the householders began to collectively call Zhu Su Lord Su instead of King Wu.

What moved the farmers even more was that Lord Su even considered the future of the children when they grow up, and specially built a school to teach them to read and write.This is a big blow in Zhuangzi. You must know that in the early Ming Dynasty, people who could read books were like stars in the sky in the hearts of the common people. Zhu Su actually wanted all the children in Zhuangzi to read. This is the grave of the ancestors. It's such a great thing that I dare not even think about it!
After the news came out, several farmers brought their families to kowtow to the prince outside the gate of Zhu Su's mansion that day.

Zhu Su has a headache now.It is good to popularize education in Zhuangzi. Now he is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the artisans sent by the palace. Not to mention those officials of the Ministry of Industry who always feel that he is a child who is obedient to its instructions, but those artisans. , always working behind closed doors and doing their own thing, and everyone hides some experience for fear of being known by others and Zhu Su.Blast furnace steelmaking and other technologies have been explored until now, but none of them has made any progress.

On the contrary, the output of the glass kilns run by disabled military households and the cement kilns produced by the slack farm households are getting better and better every time.

These craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are useless, and they always feel that they are stumbling themselves for some political reasons, or they should cultivate their own scientific talents.So Zhu Su set his sights on education. The so-called sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. If you teach a group of talents with advanced knowledge, you can have more leisure time, right?
But he didn't expect the most difficult problem. Now that the school has been built and there are students, but... there is a lack of teachers!

The children from the farmers' families have never even attended elementary school, let alone mathematics and physics, and they can't even read words.Teenagers still have to start teaching them to recognize characters one by one. Even though Zhu Su wanted to teach it in pinyin himself, how many nails can he drive with his whole body made of iron?
He planned to drag Li Jinglong, Fang Xiaoru and others into the water, but even if all the literate people in Zhuangzi were recruited, there were only ten fingers. How could they teach the nearly hundred children in Zhuangzhong?
