At the end of the fifteenth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun made the last holy decree, Zheng Wang Zhu Houhan entered Beijing, gave Zheng Wang's mansion, rewarded ten shops, thousands of fields, and 100,000 silver coins.

The others don't seem to be much, but thousands of acres of fertile land are definitely a big deal!

Zhu Yijun didn't care much, there weren't many acres of fertile land, and there wasn't much production. On the contrary, it is the ten shops, that is Zhu Yijun's reward, and it is the store in the CBD of Daming Beijing.

Winter is coming soon, and although there are a lot of things, everything is progressing according to plan.

The restructuring of Suncheonfu also proceeded smoothly, and officials of the Ministry of Rites began to walk around Suncheonfu and began to carry out educational reforms in various places. Schools around the country have also been built quickly, very quickly.

The land for the construction of the school was sold by the imperial court, but the cost of the construction was basically donated by the local large households.

Not to mention that those businessmen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are very active, and other big families are also very active, very simply, that is, to express themselves. In addition, there are examples of large households donating to build schools, which is not very difficult.

The teachers were transferred by civil servants, a total of 223 people.

Some schools have only one teacher, and there are two more students.

As for the textbooks, the imperial court has also printed and prepared, and of course, these textbooks have to be used repeatedly. To put it bluntly, a textbook is used up this year, and it is left for the next students.

Unlike in the afterlife, when you run out of use, you can only take it back and sell it for scrap.

Why don't the free teaching of later generations pay for free books, because the investment is too big for the country to afford. There are so many books in each session, and they are all replaced with new ones when they run out of each session.

If the state waives the cost of books, how much money will have to be thrown into it!

The school has prepared a calligraphy room, which is a large square wooden platform with fine sand inside, and students practice calligraphy in it, rather than actually writing on paper. Even in writing classes, I write with water, not ink.

Although it is simple and abnormal, it is a blessing for people in this era to have the opportunity to study for free.

Of course, there are also wealthy people who can't stand it, and local donors for education have also come out, which can change a little. As for the free lunch plan, rice flatbread with potatoes.

Don't think about any milk and meat like the future generations, eat meat twice a month, once on the fifteenth day of the new year.

There are no school buses, and students basically have to walk ten miles to get to school. Compared with later generations, you have to take a car for 100 meters, and children in this era can still walk ten miles at the age of seven or eight.

The conditions are very simple, but this is the best that Zhu Yijun can do.

Even so, Zhu Yijun's reputation among the people of Shuntian Mansion is also in full swing, and Shengming's statement has been accepted by the people. Going out to work, raising chickens, ducks and geese at home, this is the biggest change that Zhu Yijun has brought to the people of Shuntianfu.

Recruitment of students will also begin soon, and classes will officially start early next year.

Zhu Yijun asked people to prepare a lot of clothes, all of which were coarse linen clothes, and the style was also very poor, but this was a school uniform. This is also what Zhu Yijun prepared for poor children, and there are also poverty grants.

The prefectural schools in each county have also been restructured to accept students who have been admitted to public schools in various places.

As for the students who can't pass the exam, they have learned some arithmetic and are literate, and their future will not continue to dig in the soil. Even if you go to be a soldier, you will be better than others.

In the education of Shuntianfu alone, Zhu Yijun smashed in more than one million silver coins.

At the end of the year, the civil service examination was held again, and this time 3,000 people were recruited, but the examination was more difficult. Xiucai from all over the country gathered in Beijing, and the final count of more than 40,000 applicants.

shocked Zhu Yijun and the officials of the Ming Dynasty, which also means that the civil service system is being accepted by scholars.

In November, it began to snow in the Ming Dynasty, and King Zheng and his party entered Beijing.

Seventy-year-old Zheng King Zhu Houhan was taken into the palace to meet Zhu Yijun.

Looking at Zhu Houhan, who wanted to kneel, Zhu Yijun hurriedly walked over and supported Zhu Houhan. This King Zheng, in terms of seniority, is Zhu Yijun's grandfather.

"Spread the decree, King Zheng will be exempted from courtesy in front of the king in the future, and there is no need to report when entering the palace.

Before he could speak to King Zheng, Zhu Yijun passed the decree first, and Zhang Whale, who was standing behind Zhu Yijun, hurriedly said: "Yes, the emperor, the slave maid will let people prepare!" ”

"Come on, give King Zheng a seat!" Zhu Yijun nodded and commanded again.

The expression on Zheng Wang Zhu Houhan's face has not changed much, he has experienced too many things in his life, and he has already reached the point where he is invisible. However, he looked up at Zhu Yijun with a smile on his face.

During his nineteen years in prison, King Zheng and Zhu Houhan have worn off all the edges and corners.

However, when he saw Zhu Yijun, he was still a little excited, after all, this young son of heaven can be praised by the world as the son of heaven. The prestige has chased Taizu and Chengzu, and the hat of Zhongxing Mingjun has been put on.

Judging from his actions towards himself, this bearing alone is much stronger than Emperor Sejong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Zheng said slowly.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said with a smile: "King Zheng doesn't have to be polite, we are blood relatives, and King Zheng is the example of the vassal king, I have wanted to see King Zheng for a long time." ”

Zhu Yijun is different from Jiajing, Jiajing is insecure.

After all, he was the successor of the vassal king back then, and he was very wary of the vassal king. This is also why King Zheng just advised him not to believe in immortality, and he was imprisoned by him for nineteen years.

Hai Rui scolded Jiajing, and in the end, it was gone, the key was the identity of King Zheng.

However, in Zhu Yijun's opinion, this King Zheng is not an ambitious person, and it is estimated that he really can't stand the toss of Emperor Jiajing. Really played a setback, and then ended up like that.

"Your Majesty has a reputation!" King Zheng shook his head with a smile: "The old and broken body, how can it be praised by Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yijun smiled and chatted with King Zheng for a long time, and also gave him a banquet, and even stayed in the palace in the evening. Of course, these are for outsiders to see, or for other vassal clans.

The next day, Zhu Yijun accompanied King Zheng to the newly built King Zheng Mansion.

This is also the first time Zhu Yijun has come to the western suburbs.

Zhu Yijun and King Zheng got out of the carriage when they arrived at the place, Zhu Yijun pulled King Zheng, walked inside with a smile, and introduced: "King Zheng, look, that side is the palace." ”

"Across the street, is the new market I have established, and the ten shops in King Zheng's Mansion are over there."

King Zheng is not very interested in these, he is a person who is about to die, and he can eat as much as he wants. However, for the flat cement floor, Zheng Wang was very interested: "Your Majesty, is this the cement straight?" ”

"yes!" Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded: "This is the cement straight!" ”

Zhu Yijun introduced cement and cement straight road to King Zheng in detail, and by the way, he said that he had built the cement straight road from Beijing to Tongzhou, and was about to start repairing the straight road from Beijing to Tianjin and Beijing to Jizhou.

King Zheng smiled happily and nodded from time to time: "Good, good!" ”

"The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty have opened their eyes, the Ming Dynasty has His Majesty, and the ministers can go down to see the emperors of the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind." King Zheng sighed and said, "It's good, it's good!" ”

Listening to King Zheng's words, seeing King Zheng smiling like a child, Zhu Yijun felt that his heart was poked violently.

This is the simple patriotism of the Ming vassal king and the old man of the Ming Dynasty, this country should not slip, this nation should not slip. Zhu Yijun said with a serious face: "King Zheng can live a few more years and take a good look at how I shape a prosperous Ming Dynasty." ”

"My Ming Dynasty will be strong in the world, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

King Zheng looked at the proud Zhu Yijun, and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Majesty is very good, Emperor Taizu is also relieved to see His Majesty today." The minister waited to see that day, waited and watched. ”

The group came to the gate of the newly built Zheng Wangfu, and the construction of the palace, Zhu Yijun did not shrink at all.

Although the material was made of cement, it was all built according to the regulations of the royal government. Although Zhu Yijun wants to open the ban on the domain, he must also appease the clan and not make them feel harsh.

At the same time, this is also for the world to see, I did not criticize the clan.

In this era, it is a universal value for the patriarch to take care of the clan. Maybe there are things that the people bully the same clan, but the emperor can't, once the emperor bullies the clan, he will definitely be labeled as mean and unkind.

The Wanli Emperor in his previous life was that he rectified Zhang Juzheng, and the consequences were unbearable.

Although he launched the seizure of the heir, there was still no one on his side, and the ministers all understood that this emperor was not worthy of his life. Even if Zhang Juzheng was slandered and scolded by many people, he made a great contribution to you Emperor Wanli.

ascended the throne at a young age, Zhang Juzheng helped the building to fall and turn the tide in the past.

worked hard for the reform of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Juzheng ended up like that, and Qi Jiguang, who fought for the country, ended up like that. This also led to Li Chengliang completely falling to the warlord and began to raise his own respect.

Civilian officials began to form their own parties, and began to compete for power.

Some people say that he died in Wanli, but in fact, Zhu Yijun agrees with this sentence to some extent. Some of the things that Emperor Wanli did completely broke some rules, making the world's corporal and military generals separated from the royal family.

This is also the reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse will build a partial front with a eunuch party.

Because you have no one to use, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who has gone off the rails, has indeed attracted a group of people to pull the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party to fight the Donglin Party. After all, the Donglin Party is powerful, and the Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu Party should not be beaten, so they can sell their lives only if they are stopped.

The eunuchs were not so much eunuchs as they were the collusion of eunuchs and ministers.

Why was there no eunuch party during the Wanli period? There were also many eunuchs sent to the place, but they were all killed, not because there was no collusion with the ministers, because everyone felt that it was no good to collude, and the emperor was too mean.

This is the most important thing, so although Zhu Yijun has killed many people and done a lot of things, he has always paid attention to this, rewarding Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang.
