Regarding his influence, Zhu Houzhao has never doubted it. After so many years, he knows very well how many fans he has attracted fans for what he has done, whether it is among civil officials or military generals, he has a lot of fans.

Even among the people, many people think that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very powerful.

From the earliest identification to later worship, the number of people has increased over time. Although there will still be opposition, by this time, it has become no mainstream.

Therefore, if Zhu Houzhao wants to build a school, no one will stand up against it, let alone make trouble.

Zhu Houzhao is still confident in this, and as for the students, there will definitely be no shortage of them. Although there will be people who are reluctant to come, there will definitely be more who will.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what will this academy look like?" Wang Shouren said with some hesitation.

Now the Ming Dynasty is not without an official-run institution, and the more famous one is Guozijian, but this is not what Zhu Houzhao wants.

The place of Guozijian has long been of little use, and it is basically a place for the rich or the children of the nobles. Zhu Houzhao naturally will not compromise on this matter.

After listening to Wang Shouren's question, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "A real academy, a academy that can cultivate talents for the Ming Dynasty." After entering this academy, you will study for a total of four years, and the first year will learn some basic knowledge. It can be roughly divided into several subjects, namely scripture and history, and the main teaching of this subject is some subsets of scripture and history. As for what kind of subset of scripture and history should be selected as teaching materials, what do you think is more appropriate? ”

In fact, there is no need to ask this question, both Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren understand.

The two of them had already determined this matter in the conversation just now, so Wang Shouren also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to push Xunzi, so he bowed down and said, "The minister understands." ”

For Xunzi, Zhu Houzhao has a deep feeling, and at the same time has his own ideas.

Xunzi was born in Confucianism, although he was not recognized by many people, and even criticized, but this is not important, the important thing is that he was indeed born in Confucianism. You can't classify it as a Legalist. To some extent, this reduces the reputational damage caused by the conversion of the court.

That is to say, you jumped from the current courtyard to Xunzi's side, and you only chose within the Confucian faction, and did not turn your back on Confucianism, which is a very, very important thing for people now. That's why Zhu Houzhao chose Xunzi as the main promoter.

Seeing that Wang Shouren understood what he meant, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "The second subject is arithmetic, which is a subject they must learn. The Ming Dynasty is so big, even if you are a local official, can't you rely on the master for all the money and food every year? That kind of mediocre official who can't even read the account book, the palace will never let them appear in the court again. ”

"In addition to that, they have to learn the Great Ming Law. As an official of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't even understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then how can you be an official in the Ming Dynasty? ”

"In addition to the above three subjects, there is also a subject of martial arts. This subject does not require each of them to be able to reach the level of being a military general, and naturally it is impossible to force them to be a commander, but they must understand, they must understand what war is all about. It is fatal that there can be no layman leading an insider. ”

"Basically, in the first year, they study within these four subjects. In the second year, they will be divided into subjects in detail, and it is up to them to choose whether to study literature or martial arts. The academy will be divided into the Faculty of Liberal Arts and the Faculty of Martial Arts, and when the time comes, they can choose and apply for the examination by themselves. ”

"Of course, only those with enough points will be able to choose; If the score is not enough, it will be expelled directly. Zhu Houzhao said loudly: "This palace doesn't need people to come here to mess around. ”

Wang Shouren's face immediately became excited, he knew what this academy meant.

This means that the Ming Dynasty can continue to cultivate excellent officials and excellent generals, and there may not be any great achievements in a short period of time, but after a long time, they will become a new force in the Ming officialdom. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing up for them, they will gradually become the mainstream of officialdom.

After systematic study, Wang Shouren did not believe that those officials in the current officialdom could fight them. Four years of systematic study can definitely improve their ability to a very strong level.

So Wang Shouren opened his mouth and said: "The minister has decreed, and I will write a plan after I go back." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile and said, "Then leave it to you, don't mess things up." Don't divulge the news now, wait until the matter is finally settled. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, the minister understands." Wang Shouren hurriedly agreed.

"Alright, then you go first." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

"In this way, the minister will retire." After Wang Shouren saluted, he turned around and walked outside.

Different from the apprehension just now, Wang Shouren at this time walked firmly, and the whole person was full of a flying breath, obviously the depression just now had been swept away.

Looking at Wang Shouren who was leaving, Zhu Houzhao slowly stood up and walked back with a smile on his face.

It's just that when he walked to the back, Zhu Houzhao saw his mother.

It's not a strange thing, my mother always comes to see her grandson these days. It's just that what I didn't expect was that my dad was there.

So Zhu Houzhao walked over, bowed and saluted: "Erchen has seen his father and mother. ”

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Okay, let's be exempt." ”

After speaking, Zhu Youzhu looked his son up and down, and asked, "You just went to see Wang Shouren?" ”

For Wang Shouren, Zhu Youzhu is very optimistic.

But there is also one thing, that is, this Wang Shouren seems to have some sheep herding recently. Someone reported to himself that Wang Shouren didn't do much in the military department, but like Tang Bohu before, he was full of poetry and songs all day long.

He knew that Wang Shouren was avoiding suspicion, so Zhu Youzhu was ready to talk about this matter with his son to see if his son had any ideas, after all, this was his son's most confidant courtier, and Wang Shouren's ability was really good.

Hearing his father ask, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "Yes, father." There are some things to discuss with him. ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Zhu Youzhu immediately became interested, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”

"Erchen was bored at home and was ready to do something, so I discussed it with him." Seeing his father looking at him with a serious face, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile=: "It's not too big, it's just about preparing to build a academy." ”

"Build a academy?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said, "It's an academy." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao told his father all the things that were going to be built in this academy. Even the purpose was explained.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao has already established a martial arts school, and has also established an official school. Now these two schools in the Ming Dynasty are already well-known to everyone, and they are also the schools that everyone wants to be admitted to.

I didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to build such a university now, which made Zhu Youzhu hesitate.

"Isn't there martial arts and official learning?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked.

Martial arts is to train military attaches and generals, and official education is to train officials, which Zhu Youzhu knows.

Even when the official school was established, there was a lot of commotion. After all, it seems really unkind to let the officials who have passed the Jinshi examination to study.

There was no chaos at the beginning, and it's a miracle to think about it now. Maybe it was under the double pressure of myself and my son at that time.

Now it's a bit redundant to build such a academy again.

Zhu Hou glanced at his father and said with a smile: "This is different from official learning, this academy cultivates more professional officials and generals, and it can also be said to be more grassroots generals. ”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao never defined them as officials in the court. After these people graduate, more of them will go to the grassroots level.

Only the generals, they will enter more local garrisons, it is Zhu Houzhao who replaces them, and the current martial arts are aimed at the central Black Dragon Guard.

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's explanation, Zhu Youzhu nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and then said with a smile: "If you like to do it, do it." ”

In fact, in the past two years, Zhu Youzhu has become more and more concerned about his son. Because through all these years, one by one, the son has proven that he is a capable prince and proves that most of what he is doing now is right.

"Thank you, Father." Zhu Houzhao agreed with a smile.

In the following days, Zhu Houzhao devoted all his energy to school.

It has been proven that when a person with a strong sense and a lot of power wants to do something at full speed, it will be carried out quickly.

In just two years, the school has grown and grown, and at the same time, the placement test for the second year has been completed.

Zhu Houzhao took people to take the exam, and he took Wang Shouren to walk around the academy.

This academy built on the outskirts of the city is now a place that many people in the capital want to come and see, because the academy adopts a new brick and cement building structure, which is completely different from the original building structure. It looks very distinctive, so it attracts a lot of people.

Zhu Houzhao walked in the academy, turned his head to look at Wang Shouren, and then said with a smile: "Tang Bohu sent back the news a few days ago, have you heard about it?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has already heard about it." Wang Shouren said with a smile: "It is said that a brand new sailor has been established over there, and the second batch of warships launched has also been completed. It seems that he is going to sail to the Japanese country, and he is going to try whether the warship is useful. ”

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "This time it is said that he will follow in person." ”

"It's not idle." Zhu Houzhao also said with a smile.

In fact, in the past two years, with the full support of Zhu Houzhao, the navy of the Ming Dynasty has developed very rapidly, and it can already be assembled into a navy alone.

Yes, the Navy.

There are more than 100 large and small ships, which can be said to be very large. Equipped with a new type of artillery. As well as flintlock pistols used by officers and men on board. The navy of the Ming Dynasty was already very strong during this time.

Crucially, they began to sail into the distance.

From the coast at the beginning, to Korea later, now it is going to the Japanese country.

To the south, they did not stop, and it is said that they have been able to land in Cochin, which can be regarded as very powerful.

Tang Bohu also did a good job, and it is estimated that after returning from the Japanese Kingdom this time, he should step down and be promoted.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and Zhu Houzhao said to Wang Shouren with a smile: "A few days ago, it was said that there was a fight in Guangxi? ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." After hearing this, the expression on Wang Shouren's face became serious, and he said slowly: "It is said that there is chaos on the Jiaozhi side, and the governor of Guangxi asked the troops to destroy Jiaozhi." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what to say.

With the continuous improvement of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the grain output has gradually increased, various scientific products have also begun to surge, and the weapons and equipment have become more advanced.

This led to an incident, the civil officials or military generals of the Ming Dynasty were full of desire for foreign expansion. The reason is also very simple, that is, foreign expansion is all a credit. Whether it is led by civil officials or military generals, it is all a credit, and it is all a credit that can be claimed by the imperial court.

Zhu Houzhao had no way to do this, he had already thought of it long before he implemented this system. Once the capital rolls up, the pace of external expansion cannot be stopped.

Now the capital of the Ming Dynasty has become accustomed to obtaining profits from abroad, whether it is product dumping or grabbing profits through war, they have been able to do it easily.

Zhu Houzhao had no way to stop this, so he could only smile and say to Wang Shouren: "The DPRK and China probably allow it again, right?" ”

Wang Shouren nodded, and then spoke: "The cabinet and the military aircraft department have all passed, and there is no objection; There were not too many people in the court, but a few people were on the show, saying that it was so hurtful. ”

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips disdainfully.

In such a Ming Dynasty, this kind of remark can't even make a splash. The reason is also very simple. In the face of capital, except for profits, everything else is floating clouds.

Just as the two of them continued to walk forward, Liu Jin suddenly ran over from a distance.

He quickly came to Zhu Houzhao's face, and said with a look of ecstasy on his face: "Your Majesty, the steam engine has been successfully developed!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then his face also showed a look of ecstasy, and said to Wang Shouren beside him: "Hurry up, let's go and see!" ”

The two of them didn't dare to stay any longer, and quickly followed Zhu Houzhao over there.

When they arrived at the place, Zhu Houzhao found that his father was also here.

Not far away, a huge guy was purring and steaming.

A huge wheel slowly rotated under the impetus of the white gas, and soon drove the huge wheel in the distance, slowly spinning.

After seeing this scene, tears flowed down Zhu Houzhao's face, and he was a little excited.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Youzhu hesitated a little, he turned his head to look at his son and asked, "Who are you?" ”

You must know that your son has been a strong representative for so many years, and it is rare that there are times when you are so excited, it seems that your son is really touched by what is in front of him.

Earlier, my son told me about the important role of this steam engine, but I didn't pay too much attention to it, and it seemed that I was a little frivolous.

Zhu Hou looked at his father, pressed the ups and downs of his heart, and said slowly: "Father, after having this thing, Da Ming is really invincible!" ”
