Zhu Hao generally knew that the scientists of the Ming Dynasty included the mathematician and calendarist Li Tianjing, the geographer Xu Xiake, the medical scientist Wu Youxing, and the famous Song Yingxing, as well as some missionaries such as Tang Ruowang, Long Huamin, and Eliot. But it's not in front of me, there are only two ways, one is to recruit talents, and the other is to send someone to invite.

He had to give it a try anyway, he was quite confident in himself, although the scientific atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty, but at that time it was still regarded as a strange skill, and it could not be put on the stage, so these talents in the Ming Dynasty did not get the attention they deserved.

He first asked Wang Fuzhi to write a recruitment list, to the effect that he opened a school, invited these people to give lectures, and carried forward science and so on, and then asked Du Qishan to take the list to various parts of the south and Beijing to secretly publicize.

As for the people mentioned above, they must be invited, but fortunately, these people are more famous and can be found very easily. Attracted by Zhu Hao's preaching and generous treatment, he attracted a lot of not very famous figures, as well as Seaman, Julia and a few missionaries who came to admire him, Zhu Hao passed the layers of assessment, and selected more than a dozen people with real talent and learning as school lecturers, and the rest of the people who fished in troubled waters were also given entanglements and gifts and dismissed.

Xu Xiake went out from a trip and did not return, Zhu Hao had to let him go for the time being, Li Tianjing and Tang Ruowang were in the Gyeonggi area, and they were temporarily unavailable. Only Wu Youxing and Song Yingxing are the best to find.

Song Yingxing is now a small pusher in Fujian, this is very simple, Zhu Hao used a trick, through a relationship, a piece of paper to recruit the old Song to Xuzhou as a school official. The honest Song Yingxing didn't know what to do, so he had to put down the work at hand and rush to Xuzhou.

As long as he heard the sweetness, he only needed to find out where there were talents to be officials, so he transferred him to his side through his relationship, and in less than half a year, Xuzhou gathered a lot of talents of all kinds, many of whom had the talent to govern the country, all of which were put in the government affairs office.

As soon as Song Yingxing arrived in Xuzhou, he was invited by Zhu Hao to the Shuai Mansion, he personally went out to wait, Song Yingxing was an official after all, when he saw his superiors go out to greet him, he was startled, and hurriedly bowed down, but was picked up by Zhu Hao. Song Yingxing also praised the humility and courtesy of the young boss, and when he entered the inner hall, Song Yingxing saw that the furnishings were simple and ordinary, without any sense of luxury, and there were two plates and a pair of chopsticks on the table, obviously Zhu Hao was eating when he came.

Song Yingxing said with emotion: "I didn't expect the handsome man to be so frugal in a high position, which really makes the officials admire." ”

"Mr. praised, I'm not very particular about food and housing, it's better to do something serious if you have that spare money, Mr.'s praise makes me blush a little, hehe." Zhu Hao is used to eating and dressing casually, and he doesn't want to pick it up, so he is a little embarrassed to see Song Yingxing praising him.

"Otherwise, if everyone in my Ming Dynasty can discipline themselves like a handsome, why can't I be prosperous?" Song Yingxing said solemnly.

"What Mr. said is that he has always taken the revitalization of the country as his own responsibility, and I know that Mr. has great talents, so I invited Mr. to come, and I hope that Mr. will help!" Zhu Hao looked at him sincerely.

"It's a blessing to be able to serve the country under the big handsome!"

"Mr. Gaoyi, please accept my worship!" Zhu Hao respectfully clasped his fists and bowed, bluffing Song Yingxing to hurriedly bow back, and the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Just got Song Yingxing, Seaman also came to join in the fun, and recommended his proud disciple to him, a teenage boy named Sun Yunqiu, Zhu Hao only felt that this name was a little familiar, and did not go to his heart, in fact, this Sun Yunqiu is the pioneer of China's telescope industry and the microscopic world, very famous, until more than ten years later, Zhu Hao did not realize this great talent!

The tenth day of June is Zhu Shouyi's 60th birthday, Zhu Hao prepared a birthday gift, and rushed to Yangzhou to celebrate his father's birthday with two wives, Li Dong, Luo Yunqu and several other confidants, as well as Liu's uncle and nephew. This time, I decided to pay attention to getting Wu Youxing, so I delayed it for more than half a month.

Zhu Hao's eldest brother Zhu Yuan has also reached the age of not being confused, and is still in the prefect's office, although he is still conscientious as an official, but he has long lost the momentum of the year, he has seen through the corruption of the imperial court, and his heart has also faded a lot, and he also sincerely appreciates this younger brother who didn't care much about it in the past, his son Zhu Tong is young and energetic, and his father's early thoughts are not quite aligned, and this uncle who is not a few years older than himself chats very speculatively, Zhu Hao also appreciates this big nephew, and plans to cultivate it well.

Zhu Ying and his wife also rushed back from other places, and several of Zhu Hao's sisters who were married abroad came back except for those who were thousands of miles away, and the family of Songjiang's father-in-law Chen Zhaowen, and Zhang Tingchun of Nanjing also sent Zhang Zhenning, Zhang Zhenan, and Zhang Huangyan to celebrate their birthdays, which was very lively. At this time, Zhang Huangyan had just turned twenty years old, and he was also full of vitality, and he was soon dizzy by Zhu Hao, so that when Zhu Hao returned to Xuzhou, there were two more followers behind his buttocks.

Although Zhu Shouyi and his wife were very pleased with the achievements of their youngest son, Zhu Hao saw that his father seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked the reason.

"Alas, there is one thing I didn't tell you, so as not to distract you, just a few days after you returned to Xuzhou from Beijing, the imperial court came to the holy decree, I don't know what the emperor thinks, I actually stripped me of the title of lieutenant of the auxiliary country, although my father has no attachment to this title, but I always feel that something is not quite right, is the emperor suspicious of you?" Zhu Shouyi slowly told the whole story.

Zhu Hao understood as soon as he heard it, the feeling was that Emperor Chongzhen gave him a demonstration, which means that I can make you an earl, and I can also deprive you of all your positions, you kid will do a good job for me, otherwise see how I clean you up!

As soon as he told his father about it, Zhu Shouyi also understood the relationship. Zhu Hao said with relief: "Dad, you don't have to worry, the emperor won't touch me now, and he won't be able to help me in the future, but your old man and mother must take care of their health, after all, they are also sixty years old, and their son is not around to do their filial piety, your second elder must not work too hard, and you don't have to worry too much about me." ”

Zhu Shouyi nodded, he now has some blind faith in this outstanding son.

Zhu Hao talked about Miss Wang's family again, Zhu Shouyi didn't think much about it and agreed, it turned out that his father and Wang Bonian were also old friends. Zhang Jinyu was also very happy to hear about this, shook off the father and son, and went to check the yellow calendar and set the date in a hurry.

The birthday banquet filled the hall, Zhu Hao, as the current head of the family, presided over the ceremony of the entire banquet, tired enough at the end of the day, Zhu Shouyi learned that his son was going to visit Wu Youxing, so he wrote a letter and asked him to take it, it turned out that the two were old friends for many years, but one was in Yangzhou and the other was in Suzhou, and Zhu Hao was far away from each other.

The next day Zhu Hao set off to Suzhou, with Zhu Shouyi's guidance, it was easy to meet Wu Youxing, the old man welcomed the arrival of the son of an old friend, and had a good impression of this humble and polite young man, but after Zhu Hao said it, he shook his head and refused.

Zhu Hao knows that all talented people have a bit of a strange temper, and Wu Youxing is the same, saying that he can hang the pot and help the world anywhere without going to Xuzhou, but in fact, he is unwilling to leave Suzhou, so he has to talk about it professionally.

"Uncle Wu, I know that the most proud thing in your life is the study of plague, right?"

"Hehe's good, I didn't expect you to know a lot at a young age." Wu Youxing touched his beard and smiled.

"The little nephew also has some opinions on the plague, please correct my uncle." Zhu Hao began to release bombs.

"Oh? Do you also have research on medicine? Wu Youxing was a little surprised.

"I can't talk about research, but I know a little bit about it." Zhu Hao said with a smile, and then talked about the set of Western medicine in the later generations, focusing on microbiology, although he is not a student of biology and medicine, but what he said is basic common sense, before coming here, he did his homework early, and sure enough, he didn't have much time to get excited about Wu You's sex.

Wu Youxing is now like a super chess fan who suddenly meets a person who can play chess with him after playing chess with him for many years, that mood cannot be explained, when he asked, Zhu Hao suddenly stopped talking, provoking the old man to scratch his ears and cheeks is not uncomfortable, Zhu Hao continued to win over while the iron was hot.

"Uncle Wu, I opened a school in Xuzhou, where astronomy, geography, medical machinery are all-encompassing, there are many people who know my theory, if my uncle goes, he will naturally know more!"

"Okay, don't talk about it, can't I go with you? Alas, Lao Zhu has raised a good son, amazing! Wu Youxing gave a thumbs up and said, "When are we leaving, tomorrow?" The old man was a little impatient.

"Don't worry, what other talents do you know, how about all of them for me, the little nephew is now thirsty for talent!" Zhu Hao said with a grin.

"It's just that there are a lot of things, okay, you don't care about this, I have a few friends and disciples, I'll come to you together when the time comes." Wu Youxing pretended to have a straight face.

Unexpectedly, Wu Youxing didn't come, so he brought everyone like Li Zhongzi and Zhao Xianke to Zhu Hao, and let Zhu Hao be happy for several days.
