The issue of arms procurement in European countries has finally been discussed, Zhu Cijiong is calm and light on the surface, but his heart is happy, this time he not only earned more than 30 million taels of silver, but also yin the powers, so that they are trapped in the whirlpool of war and unable to extricate themselves, and win precious time for the development of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing is really happy to think about!

The envoys of the European countries naturally couldn't think that Zhu Cijiong was yin against them, on the contrary, they all thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire was a good person, not only sold them arms, but also delivered them to their homes, and even helped them work overtime to catch up with the goods, all of which were done, so what is there to say, especially in the end, sending two super giant ships in one go, so that the good impression or worship of the envoys towards him skyrocketed, and even the eyes of him became a little fanatical.

Although Zhu Cijiong enjoyed the feeling of being adored by foreigners, it was also tiring to put on a cool pose, he couldn't stand it for a while, and was about to announce the end of the talks and let them retire, but those envoys whispered something to Shi Vera, as if asking him to translate, but Shi Vila was full of reluctance, and told them that he just didn't translate.

Zhu Cijiong just took advantage of the situation to retract his cool shape, and asked curiously: "Shi Weila, what are they talking about, why don't you translate?" “

Shi Weila replied with a constipated face: "They want the emperor to arrange someone to teach them to learn Chinese, and some people even want to stay in Daming and go back when they learn Chinese, but Weichen asked them not to trouble the emperor, but they just didn't listen." “

This is a good thing, these people can represent their respective kings or emperors to talk about arms procurement, proving that they are more favored in their respective countries, and cultivating them to learn Chinese will help the spread of Ming culture in Europe, besides, it is not he personally taught, what trouble is not troublesome, he pretended to be careless and said: "What's the trouble with this little thing, wait for me to arrange it, you let them go back and prepare, it is estimated that they can start learning in two days." “

Shi Vera was stunned when she heard this, how do you feel that the emperor is so easy to talk today, is it true that the rumor that the emperor is fascinated by Princess Anna's beauty!

Of course, Zhu Cijiong didn't know that Shi Weila was slandering him behind his back, and after returning to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately asked Cao Huachun to come to his private study with people to spread the Zodiac Zhou, and he really didn't study the promotion of culture, and professional things were still left to professionals to do.

Huang Daozhou came faster than he imagined, looking at his shortness of breath is estimated to be a smoke running over, Zhu Cijiong wanted to let him smooth the air first, so he didn't speak immediately after he visited the worship, but picked up the teacup and prepared to take a few sips before speaking, but he didn't expect this product to ask impatiently: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me to arrange next year's general examination and palace examination?" “

Exam and temple exam? Zhu Cijiong was stunned when he heard this, hasn't this matter been in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian all the time, why did he ask him, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Isn't it arranged by you and your teacher every year, why do you ask about me?" “

Huang Daozhou hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is an unknown year, there are people from vassal countries to participate, North Korea is better to say a little, let them rush to Liaodong as soon as the train comes, Dongying and Ryukyu are both at sea, if they are allowed to come by boat, it is estimated that nine out of ten will drown in the sea!" “

Zhu Cijiong slapped his forehead when he heard this, how could he forget this, Dongying and Ryukyu do not have a navy now, in case something happens to the people who come to take the exam, it will be a shame, he hurriedly summoned Cao Huachun to come in to draft the decree, and after the New Year, the Beiyang Navy Division will send ten super battleships to Dongying and Ryukyu, and take all the people who are rushing to the exam at one time.

Cao Huachun was drawing up the purpose there, but Huang Daozhou continued to complain: "There is also a question about teaching, in previous years, Guozijian would organize lectures before the examination, so that all the people could concentrate on learning, mainly about the rules of the examination, and also talked about the topics of the previous year's examination, next year I am afraid that it will not be able to be done, and the local people of Guangda Ming will be divided into many games, and the fields are overcrowded, plus the vassal countries, how can they not squeeze in, they can't not let them listen to the class!" “

This is really a bit troublesome, Zhu Cijiong heard this, frowned and thought deeply, thinking about it, his brows couldn't help but stretch, he didn't know how to promote culture, but he knew what the university would be like in the future, wouldn't building a liberal arts academy solve everything!

Soon, he made a decision and said: "Why don't you build a Daming Academy of Arts and Humanities on the basis of Guozijian, and expropriate all the land around Guozijian and expand it to ten times the original size, so that there will be enough places, right?" In the future, the conditions for inmates will be relaxed, and they will not necessarily be nobles, and those whose ancestors are officials can also be enrolled, but if they want to participate in the examination, they must pass the preliminary examination, and only when there is competition can they be motivated, which can improve their enthusiasm. “

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he experienced it carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "It's still Zhou Dao that the emperor thinks, the current prisoners are a little unmotivated, and they can participate in the examination anyway, and it is easier to win fame, so they are not very careful, but this land acquisition and expansion will cost a lot of silver." “

Zhu Cijiong asked lightly, "How much?" “

Huang Daozhou carefully calculated for a long time, and then said cautiously: "To expand the Guozijian tenfold, not counting the cost of land acquisition, it will cost at least 500,000 taels." “

500,000 taels, so stingy! Zhu Cijiong hated iron and said: "How can you be sloppy in the place of studying, if you want to build it, you have to build the best, I will give you five million taels, you have to build a style, you have to build an atmosphere, you have to build a cultural heritage, do you know?" “

Five million taels? Zodiac Zhou shuddered when he heard this, how much silver is that! However, his face immediately flushed with excitement, isn't it better to build an academy with more silver, he replied excitedly: "I know, I know, please rest assured, thank the emperor for his grace, thank the emperor for his grace." “

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand, interrupted his sycophancy, and patiently instructed: "The so-called liberal arts academy does not have to teach all people to take the imperial examination, the Han culture has a long history, and there are many things that can be taught, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, such as astronomy and geography, you can all teach it." Subdivide the knowledge and open more majors, the Ming Dynasty not only needs people to be officials, but also calligraphers, painters, astronomers, and geographers. “

Huang Daozhou nodded frequently when he heard this, and as soon as Zhu Cijiong finished speaking, he sighed: "The emperor is right, the charm of Han culture does not lie in the imperial examination, there are many people who are originally obsessed with calligraphy, painting or poetry, but in order to prove themselves, they have to choose the imperial examination, we should give them more opportunities to show their talents." “

Zhu Cijiong heard this, looked at Huang Daozhou in a little surprise, he didn't expect that this product also had an open mind, he always thought that this product was a rotten Confucian, he nodded approvingly: "Well, it's good if you can understand what I mean, let's open a basic Chinese class, specializing in teaching foreigners to speak Chinese, this time there are many envoys in the European envoy group who want to stay in Daming to learn Chinese, you think about how to teach it, I want to spread the culture of Daming to the European continent through them, you should understand this, right?" “

Huang Dao was excited to hear the spread of the sages on Monday, and said again and again: "I understand, Weichen understands, Weichen will definitely do his best to do a good job." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, I believe you, this basic class should start as soon as possible, and they must be interested in the culture of the Ming Dynasty, which will help us promote the culture of the Ming Dynasty in Europe, you know?" “

Huang Daozhou nodded excitedly and said: "Okay, okay, Wei Chen knows, Wei Chen will definitely try his best to spread the learning of the sages all over Europe!" “
