Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 326

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the first morning court after the Hongwu two-year holiday.

Very lively.

The first thing is, according to the first "three-year plan" agreed a few years ago, His Majesty the Emperor formally decreed that the compilation of "Yuan History" was officially started with Li Shanchang, the left prime minister, as the supervisor, and Song Lian and Wang Wei as the presidents.

The edict said: "Since ancient times, there have been countries in the world, and their actions were seen at that time. Right and wrong are made public to later generations. Therefore, the rise and fall of a generation must be recorded in the history of a generation. Today, you are ordered to compile it for the history of a generation, and to state it directly. Do not exaggerate the beauty, do not hide the evil, let everyone agree with the public, and serve as a warning.”

Li Shanchang, Song Lian and others respectfully accepted the order.

The second thing, Qian Yongren, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, once again proposed that in the recent years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, envoys should be sent to the surrounding countries, and the envoys should be congratulated and bow their heads as ministers.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time the Ministry of Rites mentioned it.

Rejected again.

His Majesty the Emperor explained a few words earlier, but he didn't explain at all this time.

The court was full of smart people, and the Ministry of Rites proposed several times, but the result was the same, and everyone gradually understood what His Majesty was thinking.

To put it simply, the decree has been issued, and the table has been issued, no matter what the true attitude is between each other, with the status, it is difficult to take more actions.

Daming... shame on us.

However, if you don't have these, it's not justified.At that time, Daming will send troops to attack again, and it will be justified for any reason.

In short, His Majesty's ambition... is not small!

Of course, it's not that no one objected, but after a few words, His Majesty repelled him, but he didn't insist.

It's not very cost-effective to eat for some overseas Fanyi.

The third thing raised everyone's spirits again.

Qian Tang, vice president of Jinling University, impeached Zhongshu Pingzhang's political affairs Zhu Yuan for neglecting political affairs and not doing his job properly, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to admonish him.

Moreover, Laoqian also put forward clear requirements.

Qian Tang believed that someone, as the founder of "The Science of Economics", is proficient in many kinds of knowledge at the same time. Such a talent should regularly give lectures to students in various universities, answer questions and solve doubts, so as to cultivate talents.

At the same time, Qian Tang also hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would urge Zhu Yuan to complete the "Distribution Chapter" of "Economy" as soon as possible, instead of indulging in business affairs all day long.

Whoops!

This is... people don't know how to evaluate it.

You, old Qian, visited the 'sage' a few years ago, and it's only been a few days. Are you so disrespectful to the 'sage'? Public impeachment.

Ok.

Although, everyone feels that this impeachment is quite reasonable.

Not to mention anything else, just the recent advertisement in "Da Ming Monthly", tsk tsk, a page of advertisement can be sold for 1 taels of silver. Calculated in this way, wouldn't that small magazine make a fortune in a year? 120 million taels?

Although many people already know the final solution to the distribution of advertisements in "Da Ming Monthly", even if it is reduced to 2000 taels per page, that is 24 taels a year!
How many other businesses in this world can be so profitable?

Since ancient times, everyone has regarded Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period as the God of Wealth.

Now... to change.

From now on, worship the God of Wealth, facing the direction of Xuanwu Lake, after all, Fan Li may not be as profitable as a certain young Pingzhang!

Lao Zhu didn't expect Qian Tang to come out like this.

Compared with most of the officials who just watched the fun, Lao Zhu knew very well the reasons why his precious 23rd grandson did those things, so he patiently explained a few words for a certain young Pingzhang.

The child is weak and has many things to do. He is busy every day, but he has no slack.

Qian Tang did not fight against Lao Zhu, but expressed his approval, but still insisted, hoping that Zhu Yuan could give lectures at the university regularly, and at the same time finish the "allocation chapter" as soon as possible to make up for the shortcomings of "Economics".

Lao Zhu is a good donkey, and the minister agreed so well after thinking about it.

However, for the specific time arrangement, Lao Qian, you should discuss it with your "sage" in person!
Then, more importantly, General Chang Yuchun, who had just triumphantly returned a year ago, proposed two things at once.

The first one, as the principal of Jinling Military University, Lao Chang proposed that he hoped that the imperial court would re-discuss the issue of conferring the sages of the Wu Temple.

As soon as this topic came up, outside the Fengtian Gate, everyone's eyes turned to Qian Yongren, Minister of Rites who had just been dismissed by His Majesty the Emperor. Years ago, he proposed to resign and return to his old age.

What a mess.

Don't want to go through it again.

In the previous medical temple, because the medical department suddenly came up with penicillin, the Ministry of Rites, which was originally stuck in a difficult position, turned out to be a mess.

This time, those big soldiers can use weapons!
Seeing the reactions of the people below, Lao Zhu, who was at the top, wanted to watch the excitement again for a while, but he was already the emperor, so he couldn't do this, so he ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to discuss and deal with the matter together, and also ordered , follow the old rules of the previous dynasty as much as possible, and no entanglement and delay are allowed.

This is the tone.

Unlike the Medical Sage Temple, there are still many precedents for the Wu Temple in the past dynasties, which are enough for reference.Therefore, refer to it, and make a decision quickly, and don't delay the business any longer.

Immediately came the second matter that Chang Yuchun proposed. He hoped that Tu Xiao, the surveying and mapping department, would join Jinling Military University to jointly prepare for the establishment of the school.

Lao Chang's love for Tu Xiao started before he broke the capital.

After that, he fought all the way, even though he was not a cultural person, Lao Chang could still feel Tu Xiao's gold content, so he hoped to keep him by his side.

It's not a big deal, Lao Zhu asked Tu Xiao's opinion on the spot.

Tu Xiao visited Zhu Yuan years ago and talked with his husband. In the next few years, he mainly planned to settle down and accumulate a lot of money. After all, he is only 25 years old this year, but he is already a third-rank official who is close to the core of the imperial court. Pursuing progress is not a good thing for yourself.

In addition, Chang Yuchun had talked with him more than once in private, this time... of course it's no problem.

Things were settled in a blink of an eye.

Tu Xiao, the surveying and mapping envoy of the third rank, and a part-time job as the fifth rank division of Jinling Military University, ranked under Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu.

Coincidentally.

Tu Bi, Tu Xiao's father, is the secretary of Jinling University.The father and son hold the same position in two universities, which can be regarded as a good talk.

Having said this, Lao Zhu thought of it temporarily, and ordered Tu Xiao to take some time to prepare and tell the prince about his professional knowledge or experience as a surveying and mapping envoy. Of course, the previous experience of moving to war should not be missed.

Tu Xiao took orders on the spot, but his heart was ups and downs.

My husband said years ago that even if he didn't mention something, His Majesty the Emperor himself would remember it.

This is... right on.

Since it was His Majesty's personal order, the father and son's previous speculations because of this, should be, not true.Perhaps, it's just that His Majesty the emperor of this new dynasty treats his children differently from the past.

Afterwards, some other matters were discussed. After the early morning, everyone started their busy day after the new year.

Inside the mansion on Xuanwu Lake.

It wasn't until the morning court ended that Zhu Yuan could barely get up.

Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day, but old Zhu La went to talk about things and had dinner with him, so he planned to take a rest today.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

As soon as she woke up, Xieyi, who came in to wait for the dressing, reminded that the vice president of Jinling University, Mr. Qian Tangqian, had arrived for a long time, and he was ordered by the emperor to come to discuss matters with Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan instinctively felt that nothing good happened.

He has already paid homage to the 'sage', and with Qian Tang's Wei Zheng-style character, he certainly won't come here to praise him again, so there is a high probability...he can only come here to find fault.

So there is no rush.

An An had eaten breakfast with peace of mind, and came to the main hall of the outer courtyard. Qian Tang had been invited in for a long time, and when Zhu Yuan entered the room, he saw a middle-aged scholar who was still dressed poorly, holding a copy of "Taiping Yulan" and concentrating on reading.

When Zhu Yuan approached, Qian Tang came back to his senses and got up to salute.

The two greeted each other and sat down. Qian Tang didn't say anything immediately, but pointed to the volume of "Taiping Yulan" beside him: "Your Majesty asked the servants to find books to spend time. It's unbelievable that there are such classics here in Pingzhang. , can you allow the official to borrow it every day?"

This set of "Taiping Yulan" was a gift from the banker years ago, and it was just a set of books that filled a whole carriage.

Zhu Yuan didn't mean to keep it private, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, and, this set of books...someone gave it to me as a gift years ago. My original plan was to have someone sort it out and send it to Jinling University...over there. There should be a library, too."

Qian Tang was puzzled: "The library... library?"

"It's similar to a library," Zhu Yuan said, "My idea is that around Hongshan...and even in the future, all universities in Ming Dynasty should have their own libraries, collecting books as much as possible for students to borrow and browse. However, because All universities have just started, and it has not had time to roll out yet."

Qian Tang was stunned, and looked very interested in a blink of an eye: "Pingzhang, have you ever... finished sorting out this "Taiping Yulan"?"

"Uh...not yet, wait."

"How can things always wait?" Qian Tang said: "If it's not like this, the next official will choose a place as a library when he returns home. The books here in Pingzhang are not limited to "Taiping Yulan". Universities have them, Jinling University does not monopolize them, let the students transcribe, how about starting today?"

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Lao Qian, are you impatient too?
After thinking for a while, he said: "The library can't choose a place indiscriminately. Nowadays, the houses are generally made of wood and are not fireproof. If something happens, you will regret it. In this way... my lord, you should also know about the cement. , Using cement to build a house is not only fire-proof, but also moisture-proof, rat-proof, insect-proof, waterproof...Think about it, this is definitely the best choice for building a library."

Qian Tang obviously knew about the cement matter, and nodded when he heard the words, but insisted: "The matter of copying books can start immediately."

Seeing that the other party persisted, Zhu Yuan could only nod: "Okay."

Just copy it, I originally wanted to give it away, but this... every family copied it again... I can still keep the books, but I have made money.

A few words and a few words settled the matter of the library, and Lao Qian turned to the main topic: "Ping Zhang, the official who came here today is to convey His Majesty's order, asking Ping Zhang to give lectures to the students on a regular basis, and what about the "Economics"" Allocate one piece, and finish it as soon as possible. The matter of the book is privately considered by Pingzhang. The matter of lectures... Pingzhang thinks, ten times a month, how about it?"

Ten times a month?
Zhu Yuan thought of what happened in the inner house for a moment.

ten times……

Ok.

However, he quickly realized that Lao Qian was fooling himself: "My lord, my ancestors should have asked you to come and discuss with me, right? No specific requirements?"

Qian Tang was punctured by Zhu Yuan, so he nodded, showing no sign of guilt, instead he took it for granted, "I heard that when Pingzhang was in Mingzhou, he often gave lectures to his subordinate officials. This is such a matter of preaching and teaching others. Jinling should also persevere."

After being confirmed by Lao Qian, Zhu Yuan directly shook his head: "Ten times...too many."

I am very busy everyday.

"The lower officials also pay attention to Pingzhang's daily actions," Qian Tang said: "The merchants are related, or they have complied with Pingzhang's "Economics", but with Pingzhang's talent, he should take the world as his own responsibility. You should be too entangled in this money matter."

Zhu Yuan laughed.

If you want to reason with me... we can have a good talk.

"My lord, you have to know that if it wasn't for me to search everywhere, to open up seas and do business, our Daming would not have so many resources to supply the five universities around Hongshan, let alone more in the future," Zhu said. Yuandao: "It's just that the annual food and clothing expenses of students in various universities are a very huge expenditure."

Regarding the college fees, Zhu Yuan discussed with Lao Zhu before that all of them are free of charge.

Not only that, if the finances allow, some additional living allowances will be given, or students with good academic performance will be rewarded.

These... all need money!
Zhu Yuan was ready for the debate, but unfortunately, Qian Tang did not jump into the pit, and his goal was clear: "That's why Pingzhang should teach the students. In the future, they will become talents, and Pingzhang can also share the burden."

amount.

You don't play by the rules!
Seeing that Qian Tang didn't follow his own way of thinking, Zhu Yuan could only say: "Lectures are fine, but there is no limit on the number of times, I will see my own schedule. My lord, you must know that there are many things in my stomach. , Everything that can be written is written in those textbooks, as long as you follow the knowledge and combine it with reality... Da Ming will inevitably create an unprecedented prosperity in the future."

This is the truth.

It's not that Zhu Yuan doesn't want to start the class. The problem is that all the knowledge he knows is basically recorded in the series of textbooks.

Others... I can't think of them for a while, and it's impossible to think of them after class.If he could remember, such as the isochronism principle of the pendulum that he thought of in the watch engraving workshop last time, as long as he remembered, he would not hide his secrets, and just sent them over.

In this case, it is really unnecessary to go to lectures.

"The lower officials are quite yearning for the scene depicted by Pingzhang," Qian Tang nodded, but said: "However, the number of times should be limited, lest Pingzhang slack off."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

After thinking about it again, Zhu Yuan said: "Every month, guarantee three times, no more. Because it takes a lot of energy to prepare for the lecture."

Qian Tang said: "Every day."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

So you come and I exchange a few words, and the matter is finally settled.

There are at least three classes per month, and each time counts as two hours. Try to arrange them in the afternoon, with one hour for lectures and one hour for Q&A.

Furthermore, the teaching objects are not only Jinling University, but students from all universities. However, it is mainly the 'doctorate' of each major in each university.After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, these people went back to tell others what Zhu Yuan had said or the answers to the questions.
