"What does Aiqing mean by this, am I the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong?" Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood at this time, and made a rare joke of Shen Tingyun.

"Aiqing works so hard, for the country and the king, this is a model official and a pillar of the country, I feel sorry in my heart, and at the same time I am quite happy." Zhu Youxiao said with appreciation on his face.

He changed the topic, and said with concern: "Chen Hong, bring Shen Aiqing a cup of ginseng soup, and give Shen Aiqing a box of my Changchun Pill." ”

Chen Hong bowed down and agreed: "The slave and maid will go now." ”

Vincriminate? Shen Tingyun was stunned.

Seeing that Shen Tingyun was a little confused, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Shen Aiqing, my Changchun Pill is a very good elixir, which can prolong life and restore energy, and it is very effective after eating." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Tingyun hurriedly said with a grateful face, but no one knew what he thought in his heart.

What is the Changchun Pill that Zhu Youxiao said?

In fact, it was the ordinary hawthorn pill made by Han Li with a little tonic added to it, which could stimulate appetite and make people eat more, but it had no other function other than that.

Seeing Shen Tingyun's tired face, Zhu Youxiao knew that he had stayed up late late, had not rested well, and estimated that his appetite was also lost.

Give Shen Tingyun a little hawthorn pills, he has no physical problems, and it is not a big deal to eat some hawthorn pills to appetize.

Of course, this is also Zhu Youxiao's ambush for the future.

Once one day you need to use other pills, you will make yourself appear less obtrusive.

Zhu Youxiao wants to try to give some pills to the minister often, and make this his habit, and everyone will not feel strange when he uses it again in the future.

Otherwise, he very abruptly rewarded a minister with an elixir for him to eat, and then he died, what is this called? If the first person eats it to death, and then rewards the elixir, will other ministers dare to eat it?

Zhu Youxiao didn't know if Shen Tingyun dared to eat this pill. Anyway, I'll chew one if I'm fine for the past two days, and it feels good.

This was also the first elixir that Han Li had refined, and the most important thing was that it had a very good sweet and sour taste.

Things were brought in quickly.

A long wooden box that looks very unpretentious. After opening, it was covered with a layer of red flannel cloth, which contained nine pills of black and reddish elixir.

In addition, there is also a can of purple sand soup cup in the tray, which is filled with an attractive aroma of ginseng soup, which is still steaming slightly.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that Shen Tingyun would not take pills, but who thought that he would take it with ginseng soup in front of him and eat a pill.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao smiled.

Whether Shen Tingyun did it on purpose or did it for himself, none of this mattered.

Taking the pill in person is showing loyalty, and Zhu Youxiao wants to give full affirmation to this kind of behavior.

"Aiqing, I should be very tired when I see your look, why don't you take a few more days off and go home to rest." Zhu Youxiao said with a concerned face.

Without waiting for Shen Tingyun to speak, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to Chen Hong and said, "In a while, you will arrange for a few imperial doctors to go to Shen Aiqing's mansion once, and let them take a good look at Shen Aiqing." If you need any medicinal herbs, tell the palace and take them from the palace. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong respectfully agreed.

Shen Tingyun said with a grateful face: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, these days the minister has been preparing for the affairs of this academy, but some of them have stayed up late, so they look a little tired, but the minister is fine." ”

"That's the best, Aiqing has just been appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it is the time to show his strength, so he must not waste his body." Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile, and then said, "Since Aiqing has been preparing for a long time, and it is quite effective to think about it, let me take a look." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Tingyun agreed, and respectfully presented a notebook in his hand.

took the notebook presented by Shen Tingyun from Chen Hong's hand, and Zhu Youxiao began to look through it.

In this book, Shen Tingyun discussed the construction of the academy in detail.

First of all, from the site selection to the scale of the building to the architectural style, there is a detailed plan on this, and even a general budget is behind each plan.

After seeing this, Zhu Youxiao had to sigh, such an official is really rare. It's really worry-free to be organized and thoughtful.

At the back of this booklet, Shen Tingyun also wrote some other things, such as the selection of teaching materials, the establishment of teachers, and the classification of courses to be taught.

He wrote a lot of things on it, such as some ways to strengthen the body including archery, horse riding and archery, and set up subjects including military affairs, mathematics and so on.

If it is built according to this setting, then this is a comprehensive university, which can be said to be all-encompassing, with all subjects, and even the military is inclusive and inclusive.

Zhu Youxiao raised his head, looked at Shen Tingyun, and sighed again in his heart, these people are really talents.

"Shen Aiqing is really talented, such a huge thing is done in a clear and orderly manner, he is worthy of being my favorite courtier, and he did not disappoint me after all!" Zhu Youxiao said with appreciation.

For officials who can do things for themselves, Zhu Youxiao will naturally not be stingy with praise.

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words and getting the emperor's approval, Shen Tingyun's face was not only happy, but also had a relieved expression.

Zhu Youxiao continued to look back, and in the back, Shen Tingyun even wrote about the admission constraints, which was actually how to collect tuition.

Free education is definitely impossible, and Shen Tingyun explained in detail how to collect money, how many students to enroll, and how much money to charge for each student.

The following is the school's annual accounting expenses, after which there can be some surplus each year, which can be invested in the next year's school operation and expansion.

In Shen Tingyun's calculations, the entire school is an independent entity, and it will not increase the burden on Daming's finances.

Of course, the tuition fee is also relatively high every year, which also leads to the fact that the average student cannot afford to study in this college.

However, Shen Tingyun also gave a solution, that is, during the annual enrollment season, students can apply for the royal subsidy, that is, the subsidy given by Zhu Youxiao.

Of course, this money will not be paid by Zhu Youxiao, and the academy will take out a part of the money alone.

Of course, such a thing is done in the name of Zhu Youxiao, and this kind of thing of buying people's hearts is naturally done by the emperor.

After seeing this, Zhu Youxiao was very helpless, which was clearly a trick played by Shen Tingyun.

You Shen Tingyun came up with such a thing, in the name of the emperor, how could this Qian Zhu Youxiao really let the academy come out?

It must come from his own inner treasury, which is obviously an increase in expenses for himself, but it is not okay if he doesn't pay for this money.

As mentioned above, for students who have applied for the subsidy, the royal family and the college will send someone to verify the situation of their family.

If it is indeed a poor family, then the royal family will give a subsidy, and this subsidy will allow them to finish the entire academy without spending much money.

After seeing this thing, Zhu Youxiao had the feeling of creating a university. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also saw Shen Tingyun's other deeper thoughts.

For example, this school is located in the capital, and its fees are relatively expensive, but the talents from this school can be distributed in the military and civilian fields.

So who will come out of this? Who is it most beneficial for?

The answer is very simple, it is the children of those nobles and relatives in the capital.

These people are not bad at money and status, and they are also officials in the capital. If Your Majesty really founded this academy, they are very willing to send their own children into it, and if they become successful, they will be pulled down, anyway, there are many children in the family, and they are not worse than one and a half.

As for what civil officials oppose, they don't care at all about the nobles and relatives, what can they do with them?

It's nothing more than a fine of money and food, a scolding, and can you dismiss us from office?

Besides, we are supporting Your Majesty, what can those civil officials do even if they are impeached?

This is not a good thing to go to the battlefield and die!

This shows that Shen Tingyun wants to pull a group of allies to support their innovation.

Zhu Youxiao has already understood that Xu Guangqi, Shen Tingyun, and Li Zhizao have moved the mind of innovating the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a day or two.

After Xu Guangqi and the others all took the position, this kind of thought is estimated to be irrepressible.

This kind of thinking is naturally not for themselves, and it is naturally impossible for them to not know what innovation means to individuals at this point, and it is likely to be the end of being shattered.

But for the sake of this country, they are still willing to do this, and Zhu Youxiao's heart is also a little moved.

Loyal people are there in any era.

It's just that Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun are not empty idealistic people, they also have their own ideas and means.

After entering the court, Xu Guangqi and the others found that they were alone. Although His Majesty reused the three of them, they still didn't have much strength to implement their ideas and policies, so they simply needed to pull some people.

The ministers of the court and the central government want to win over, so the nobles and relatives who stand aside and watch the excitement must also be wooed, but they can't be too obvious.

If it is done too obviously, it will make people feel that they have lost the integrity of civil officials; colluding with Xungui will also make His Majesty feel that these people have formed a party for personal gain, and they have actually colluded over there.

Nothing good will end in this way.

Therefore, Shen Tingyun adopted a very simple method, that is, to get the children of the noble relatives to study in the emperor's academy.

I won't have anything to do with them, as long as they study in the academy and accept their own theories and ideas, then they are their own people.

There is no need to link together with interests, everyone can be linked with ideals.

What can Zhu Youxiao say about Shen Tingyun's thoughts and practices?

I can only say that it is well done!

Whether it is the royal scholarship mentioned earlier or these things in the back, Shen Tingyun can be said to have conceived everything, no wonder the whole person is so tired.

And Zhu Youxiao also felt that this should not be made by Shen Tingyun alone, but by Xu Guangqi and several of them.

Among them, the part about budget and finance should be how Li Zhizao got it, and the part about the subject setting should be Xu Guangqi's work.

It's the culmination of an idea they worked on together.
