In the Warm Spring Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair and watched the folds in his hands, and the owner of the folds was Xu Guangqi.

Most of the names and introductions of people are listed, and there are about a dozen people, some of whom are familiar to themselves.

The names of Song Yingxing, Li Shizhen, Xu Xiake and other people are recorded in the history books of later generations, and the one who attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention the most was a person named Sun Yuanhua.

As for Sun Yuanhua, if you don't know it, you don't know it at all, but this person is the most proficient person in the use of firearms in China.

Sun Yuanhua (1581~1632) was born in Gaoqiao Town, Chuansha County, Shanghai, and was an expert in Western artillery. The apocalypse lifts people. From Xu Guangqi learned the Western firearms law, Sun Chengzong recommended as the secretary of the military department, built a platform on the side to make artillery, and entered the military department as the head of the staff, Chongzhen was the first to be the staff of Langzhong, three years to the right of the imperial history, governor Denglai, Chongzhen five years due to dereliction of duty led to the rebel Kong Youde to capture Dengzhou, after Kong Youde carried a large number of Hongyi artillery and gunners in Dengzhou to cross the sea and surrender to Houjin, so that Houjin had the ability to attack the city with firearms, Sun Yuanhua was beheaded in Beijing Caishikou.

"Lord Xu, I remember that Sun Yuanhua can be said to be your beloved apprentice, but now that he has an official position, it is indeed a little difficult to enter the Royal Academy of Sciences."

Zhu Youxiao was a little entangled in whether to let Sun Yuanfa enter the Academy of Sciences, not because he looked down on Sun Yuanhua. It's because he has just deceived the ministers of the court because of a plan to get out of the shell of the golden cicada, and if he gets someone with an official position into the academy, it is very likely to cause unnecessary trouble again.

Xu Guangqi also saw Zhu Youxiao's entanglement, so he could only smile bitterly. For Xu Guangqi, who has been an official for decades, it is still very clear what the DPRK and China are like.

"Your Majesty, Lao Chen didn't ask Your Majesty to immediately arrange Sun Yuanhua in the Academy of Sciences, but just to remind Your Majesty that this person is indeed proficient in the art of artillery manufacturing, and he is a rare genius."

He nodded in agreement with Xu Guangqi's words, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.

"In this way, Master Xu, you persuade him to serve as the honorary teacher of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences with the affection of a teacher and a student, so that he can go to the Academy of Sciences to guide the workers to build cannons in his free time."

Zhu Youxiao's arrangement did not attract the attention of the ministers of the court, because the Ming Dynasty was a miracle from the emperor to the ministers.

Throughout the 5,000 years of China, if the official of any dynasty is a generalist, it is the most important in the Ming Dynasty.

Because the officials of the Ming Dynasty were too low, and in the early Ming Dynasty, the wind of corruption was too strict, so some ministers learned a craft and wanted to eat with their mouths. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, corruption intensified, and the net worth of officials slowly rose, but this tradition continued among officials throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, as for Sun Yuanfa to be an honorary teacher at the Royal Academy of Sciences, the ministers of the DPRK and China will only think that it is just one more income.

Just like in later generations, ordinary people found an extra hourly job after work.

"Your Majesty is famous".

Zhu Youxiao looked at the fold in his hand, and after looking around, he didn't find any foreigner's name, and couldn't help but feel a little strange that Xu Guangqi should have a close relationship with foreign missionaries, how could there be one or two foreigner's names.

Although I don't want to admit it, but in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the gap between China and the West did widen a little, especially for the application of firearms. However, the gap is not too big, and if the Ming Dynasty pays attention to it, it will soon be able to catch up.

"Xu Aiqing, the list is full of my famous people, why don't you see Westerners"?

Xu Guangqi seemed to have thought that Zhu Youxiao would ask him this question, so he rehearsed it in advance. As soon as Zhu Youxiao's voice fell, Xu Guangqi got up and replied.

"Your Majesty, this is my Ming Imperial Academy of Sciences, if you let Westerners serve here, it may not be good for my name, so the old minister also removed some people's names."

For Xu Guangqi, a person who is proficient in Western studies, some Western technologies are indeed higher than those of the Ming Dynasty, although he really wants to include Westerners in the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences. It's just that I don't know what kind of mind the emperor has, so I specially removed his name. I just wanted to bring it up slowly in the future, but I didn't expect the emperor to ask directly.

"Okay, Lord Xu is definitely not the kind of person who is not my race and his heart must be different, for those who have skills, the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences welcomes them to enter."

"As for the staffing arrangement? Lord Xu can solve it by himself, but the ratio must reach 1:3.

First, it is convenient for its management, and secondly, it is also for the sake of protecting our Ming Dynasty and even my Chinese nation. After all, the Chinese nation cannot always beg others to teach itself, and can only innovate and manufacture it by itself."

I don't know much about Zhu Youxiao, a Westerner during the Ming Dynasty, so I can only listen to Xu Guangqi himself telling Zhu Youxiao about some people he thinks are suitable.

"Your Majesty, Huangzhuang Steward Young Eunuch Li Fuming asks to see you", Wei Zhongxian, who was standing outside the door, walked into the Nuanchun Pavilion gently.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and instructed the little eunuch on the side to bring Xu Guangqi a stool.

"Li Fumin, the steward of the slave Huangzhuang, sees Your Majesty, and wishes Your Majesty a healthy dragon."

As the so-called people are in good spirits on happy occasions, since they have done the big shopkeeper of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, they are even more beautiful, and the whole person is like being more than 10 years younger.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Fumin who was kneeling on the ground, "Is there anything Li Fumin looking for me?"

"The slave has come to hand over the bills for the past three days to His Majesty for inspection."

took out a thick bill from his arms and handed it over to his head, standing under the pork, while Wei Zhongxian, who was beside him, walked down, carried it to take the bill, and gently checked it before handing it to Zhu Youxiao.

"Then tell me how it has been for the past three days."

Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and looked at the bill in his hand, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, according to the sales techniques that Your Majesty said, the servants can be said to have caused a sensation in the whole city, and the front of the merchant house is full of people, and even the servants can't walk.

It's just that according to His Majesty's sales methods, the trading house is in a state of loss.........."

Speaking of which, Li Fuming was also a little puzzled, His Majesty wanted to make money, and now the commercial bank can be said to be losing money again and again. This made Li Fumin a little unexpected, what kind of medicine His Majesty was selling.

"I had already expected this, the business house had just opened, and the people didn't know about it.

And this time, the construction and sales method has made the whole city know that my four seas commercial bank has opened. In the future, it is natural that I will go to the business house to buy daily necessities."

Li Fumin is also a talented and agile person, but he suddenly got into a dead end before, and he couldn't get out of the golden pillar, and after such a little allocation, he instantly understood what the meaning of this promotion was under the trip.

After reading the accounts in his hand, Zhu Youxiao closed the accounts. Turning his head, he asked knowingly to Xu Guangqi, who was sitting on the side in surprise.

"Lord Xu seems to be surprised, can you tell me why you are surprised?"

Xu Guangqi was really surprised, for Zhu Youxiao and Li Fuming's conversation, Xu Guangqi could be said to have listened to it word for word.

"The emperor is now not doing his job, but has become a merchant and opened a shop."

Xu Guangqi thought about it for a while, and felt that as an old minister, he should persuade the emperor that he couldn't always be so unprofessional, but he couldn't say it clearly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister once read a book, and the writing is very good, and the old minister can still memorize some of the passages backwards."

Tell stories to persuade the king, well, although I don't know why ancient ministers always like this, Zhu Youxiao still doesn't mind listening to Xu Guangqi's story, so he should relax his body and mind.

Straightened his posture and looked at Xu Guangqi with respect.

Xu Guangqi nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that the emperor is still saved."

"Heaven and earth give birth to all things, but all things have their own usage and function.

…………

…………

The king, on the other hand, should be diligent in his work, and the ministers should manage the country well for the emperor, the peasants should cultivate the land well, the workers should make tools well, and the soldiers should defend the country."

After Xu Guangqi finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Youxiao with blank eyes.

"What Master Xu said makes sense, this is called doing their own duties and not doing what they shouldn't do."

Xu Guangqi saw that the emperor understood his thoughts, and stroked his beard with satisfaction, although it was a little inappropriate for the monarch, Xu Guangqi felt that he was already a saint. A saint who saved the emperor and saved the Ming Dynasty.

"From now on, all the food and clothing of the Daimyo Royal Academy of Sciences will be purchased from the Four Seas Trading House, and there will be a large amount of discounts."

Xu Guangqi: ".........".
