Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1162 Brave New World

  Zhu Chongshou began to curse.

  The others were a little anxious.

   They are all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, why are you so hot-tempered and out of gregarious?

  Zhu Youtang and Zhu Yueqi looked at each other and smiled wryly.

   Now some princes and clan members have bought mansions one after another.

  To tell the truth, for such a mansion, everyone almost invested their lives in it.

  Everything, care will lead to chaos.

  Think about it, if the house you bought is barren and no one buys it, it’s okay, the price of the house will fall.

  Looking at other places, the house prices have risen more than the place where you bought it. Why? Isn't the total price here higher?

  Thinking of this matter, Zhu Yueqi and Zhu Youtang were anxious, well, you Xishan Jianye sold the mansion and let it go, okay, your dog surnamed Fang is very good, you can do it, we... Let's go and get someone to buy it.

"Brother Wang...Be careful..." Zhu Youzhao said earnestly: "Now that the deal is done, what's the point of talking about it? Besides, walls have ears. If His Majesty listens to it, I'm afraid it won't please you. Now that the price is still decent, sell it quickly. Why do you fight for this breath? You are the head of the family, you can fight for your pride, but you can’t use your own children to fight for it. Besides, when you move here, everyone will take care of you. We are all the ancestors of Emperor Gao Children and grandchildren have to take care of them."

Zhu Youzhao is the emperor's brother, and now he is ordered to coordinate the affairs of the clansmen who came to Beijing. He is quite a bit of the patriarch of the clan, the Zongzheng authority of the Zongling Mansion, what he said is still effective, everyone You have to take care of each other, but if you don't know each other, don't blame me for turning my face against others.

  Zhu Youtang's face softened again, and he squinted his eyes: "A few days ago, I heard Fang Jifan muttering..."

   "What are you muttering about?" Zhu Chongshou became very angry when he heard Fang Jifan's words.

  Zhu Youzhu took a good time: "He said that some clan members misunderstood him, and he was very angry. If you get angry, don't let him put a golden knife in the room of this ignorant guy."

  Damn it...

  Zhu Chongshou, who was still furious just now, was stunned.

Is that human being?

   This is something like a dog.

   Still no king?

  He is a relative, how dare he do such a thing?

  The golden knife is only used by the royal family, and it must be hidden in the homes of ordinary clan members. If it is not bestowed by His Majesty, it is treason.

   This is tantamount to framing.

  He has the guts?

  But... Zhu Chongshou discovered a terrible problem.

  The dog surnamed Fang is really a person who can do anything. This guy has no shame and no bottom line, but His Majesty still trusts him a lot.

  Zhu Chongshou felt that his heart was so cold...

Zhu Youzhao pulled his face and said angrily: "This king was angry when he heard it. He has the guts? Huh, look at this king, this king will kill him. So, don't worry everyone, this guy, Just kidding."

  Zhu Chongshou subconsciously said: "He doesn't dare to be King Sai Xing, brother, you are His Majesty's brother, he has the guts, but..."

   But other people... different.

It is said that they are the relatives of the emperor, the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, and these descendants are divided into relatives, such as Zhu Chongshou. Although he is the king of Liao, his ancestor is Emperor Taizu Gao His fifteenth son is five or six generations away from His Majesty today. How many of this blood relationship are left?

Zhu Yueqi sighed from the side: "Hey, people have misfortunes and blessings. Since I have come to the capital... it is better to be more stable. Now that I am in the capital, I will be a turtle in the urn. What is there to be proud of? Live a good life, which is better than anything else. King Liao , let’s talk about it, we are cousins, buy this mansion, don’t think about it, you can’t go back to your feudal land.”

  Zhu Chongshou lowered his head, bit his lips and remained silent.

   A group of people sighed.

  Finally, Zhu Chongshou stood up and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask Wang Jinyuan to talk about it."

   All of a sudden, Zhu Youju and Zhu Yueqi cheered up, and the eyes of the other county kings also shone.

  …

  Night.

  The full moon is in the sky.

   This is the Xingwang Mansion with carved beams and painted buildings.

  Zhu Youzhu's side concubine is half lying on the couch, her delicate body is half covered, her skin that can be broken by blows is looming, under this red candle, she is very attractive.

   "Your Highness..." She whispered softly, her words were pitiful, and her captivating eyes were staring straight at Zhu Youzhao.

  She is Zhu Youtang's favorite side concubine, and she lives with her for most of the night in a year.

   But Zhu Youtang seemed restless, and now he is not interested in her temptation, and only perfunctory said: "Just wait, don't worry."

   "Your Highness, what are you doing now? All the courtiers and concubines are sleepy." The side concubine poked out a pink leg with creamy skin from the brocade quilt, hanging in the air, rippling like a fish swimming in water.

  Zhu Youtang turned a blind eye to this and turned a deaf ear to it. He held a candlestick in his hand and stood on a small table beside him.

  Then, the candlestick was put down, and a small book was taken out from the sleeve, and spread out.

  He said vaguely: "What did you say?"

  Lightly touch the tip of the tongue with one finger, and then open the book with the finger. In the book, countless names are densely written.

  He turned to the fourth page familiarly. On the fourth page, the name of Liao King Zhu Chongshou was impressively written. He picked up the pen and gently crossed the three characters Zhu Chongshou.

  Next is…

  He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Chong, who clearly wrote the words Zhou Wang Zhu Mu.

   Brightness flashed across his eyes, thinking about Zhu Mu's temperament and hobbies, he seemed to have some confidence in his heart, and smiled.

   "Your Highness... come here, it's midnight, you're not serious."

   "Oh, here we come, here we come." Zhu Youzhu frowned, looking impatient, carefully closed the book, stuffed it back into his sleeve, and raised his head in a daze: "Come here, undress me."

  Eunuchs had already come in outside and undressed Zhu Youzhao.

   Zhu Youzhu turned over on the couch, and the **** tiptoed, blew out the lamp, and retreated.

in the dark.

   There was a rustling sound.

  But I heard Zhu Youju's dignified and upright voice: "Didn't you agree to go to bed? Don't mess around."

   "Your Highness, you have changed. Since you came to the capital, you..."

   "Tomorrow I still have serious business to do. I have an appointment with the King of Zhou. I am tired. Go to sleep."

   "Your Highness..." The delicate voice became more resentful.

   "You have long hair and short knowledge, don't make noise."

   Not long after, there was a thunderous snoring sound from the bedroom.

  ...

  Fang Jifan sorted out all the information happily.

   After confirming that the steamship had already taken shape, he let out a long sigh of relief.

  If the technology improves a little bit, and the boat does not rely on sea wind and ocean currents, but relies on real power, then... the time of sea transportation will be greatly shortened.

  My father has been missing for several years, and I don't know if he is doing well. Even if it is a letter, it is difficult to see him all year round.

  Thinking of this, Fang Jifan felt that everything was worth it.

  He entered the palace excitedly to report the good news.

   It was only when he was in the palace that he remembered that His Majesty was listening to Na Yu's speech in the newly built Chongwen Hall.

   It’s just talking about it now, but it’s different from before.

  In the past, it was the academicians of the Hanlin Academy who lectured, but now it is the side of the Hanlin Academy and the side of the Academy of Sciences.

  First, the Imperial Academy taught the Four Books and Five Classics, and then the academicians of the Academy of Sciences began to teach the latest knowledge of astronomy, geography, and business and agriculture.

  At the beginning, the Hanlins exploded, thinking it was unbelievable, it was really vulgar, and such unrefined things could also be taught?

   But slowly, under His Majesty's insistence, although they scolded fiercely, their arms could not twist their thighs after all.

  Fang Jifan went to Chongwen Hall, saluted, and saw that Emperor Hongzhi was in high spirits today, and he was listening to the discovery of Zhang Xinda, a scholar of the Academy of Sciences, about pest control.

Emperor Hongzhi only glanced at Fang Jifan, nodded at him, motioned him to stand aside first, and questioned: "Since Zhang Qing's family has already produced a special insecticide, why not spread it immediately?" .”

  Zhang Xin replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the medicine has just come out now, and the price is a bit high, so..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was very dissatisfied with this: "Since the cost is high and the people are useless, then...why build it? In my opinion, it is better to be economical and practical."

Zhang Xin said in a calm manner: "But your majesty, it is not practical now, but in the future, when the cost is low, it can be promoted. If you don't start research now, there will never be pesticides. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as Start a good start, and the future... will benefit future generations."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "So it turns out that I am confused. You are an expert in agriculture. You can decide these matters by yourself. If you have any good suggestions, please send them directly to me. In the end, I will help you." It's up to you."

  Zhang Xin bowed down: "I thank you."

  At the beginning, Zhang Xin was not willing to come to the Academy of Sciences. In his opinion, the Academy of Sciences was just an institution of the imperial court, and it didn't have much help for agriculture.

   But slowly, he tasted the sweetness.

   Sort out scientific research and formulate plans for the Academy of Sciences, I won’t talk about these.

  The most important thing is to speak and serve.

  This is an opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit at any time, but anyone who has any ideas, has the opportunity to play with His Majesty and win His Majesty's support.

  Although it was because I was in the Academy of Sciences, I lost a backbone of agricultural research, but there are plenty of people to do these things.

But here, I can win His Majesty's support for agricultural research at any time, which can be said to be of great benefit to agricultural research. I am afraid that the research of a thousand captains and warriors will not be as good as my role in the Academy of Sciences .

  In addition to sorting out some agricultural research every day, he provides Tuntian Wei with a directional thing, that is, to popularize agricultural knowledge to people every day, and to explain agricultural issues to His Majesty.

  ...

   Recommend a book, the new book "Full-time Medical Sage" by the great **** Xia Yanbing, the introduction will not go into details, the old master, quality assurance.
