Chapter 114 Selection

Zhu Zhanji's requirements are not high, and making this ink block is simply a task for the Ministry of Industry. On the same day, a few people were arranged to work overtime all night to make ink with graphite powder, spices, and a little rosin.

The ink is then placed into a circular groove made of wood, and then placed in the hot sand to dissipate the moisture.

At noon the next day, the first batch of fifty graphite strips made was sent to the palace. At this time, Zhu Zhanji's first filial piety scripture had not yet been written.

He rolled up the graphite strip with a piece of hard paper, revealing only a small section, and then tried to write a few words on the paper, and it worked out well.

He took out a graphite strip and handed it to the little eunuch beside him and said, "Let the Ministry of Engineering develop a thinner graphite strip, about two millimeters in diameter is the best." Then you go and hand over the graphite strip to Ma Zhicai's deputy in Jiajiang, and let him study the use of a machine tool to drill out the corresponding wooden strips. The strips of wood are then cut open, the graphite strips are wrapped, and then glued together. ”

The pencil has remained virtually unchanged since the day it was officially invented and into the 21st century.

And now with machine tools, it should not be difficult to produce pencils in large quantities. With pencils, children go to school and learn to write will reduce the cost of learning, which is also a big event for the benefit of the country and the people.

Of course, Zhu Di also got the news quickly, and tried to write a few words with a pencil rolled up on paper. "Although this pen can't write words, it is simple and easy to use. This little monkey has a very good brain, but he likes to engage in some crooked ways. ”

The historian knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please give this pen to Weichen, this pen only needs to be improved, it can be easy to record, easier to carry, and can be taken out and remembered at any time." ”

Zhu Dileng nodded and said, "I didn't expect to come here. Convenient. For this reason alone, this graphite pen can be used all over the world. ”

And just when Zhu Zhanji was writing hard in Xingqing Palace, the news of his ascension to heaven also spread in Yingtianfu.

Wan Hu in the Hongwu period was also raised at this time, when he took himself to the sky with a rocket, but was thrown to his death.

The grandson not only went to heaven, but also came down safely, which is the real success.

On that day, Zhu Zhanji saw not one or two people in the sky, but at least 100,000 people on the east side of Yingtianfu saw his figure in the sky.

There are more and more rumors about him, and the rumors are becoming more and more evil. There are even some malicious rumors that Zhu Zhanji is the real son of heaven, and Zhu Di should take the initiative to give way.

Jin Yiwei is an expert in finding out the gossip, and in a few days, he has arrested many people with ill intentions in the capital, and all of these people are hired by people with intentions.

Zhu Di was furious and ordered a strict investigation of the matter, but because of this, people were panicked, and such rumors seemed to be confirmed.

After Zhu Zhanji got the news, he just turned his head and laughed.

This matter is inseparable from the handwriting of his second uncle, but if he wants to rely on this matter, he wants to destroy his relationship with Zhu Di, which is also delusional.

"Jin Kuo."

"The old slave is here."

"Go and tell the imperial grandfather, just let Ma Di train a young army of sturdy sergeants, and when the wind and sun are beautiful, fly again in Yingtianfu, this rumor has dispersed."

Now that Zhu Zhanji is the only one who goes to heaven, he will pass him on as the Son of Heaven, so what about an ordinary orphan?

When everyone saw that ordinary people could go to heaven, this rumor naturally dispersed. And it can also inspire people's enthusiasm for heaven, killing two birds with one stone.

This matter was originally the most suitable for Ma Di, because when Zhu Zhanji asked him to make this glider, the function of each part had to make the designer understand the reason, so Ma Di was most familiar with controlling this glider.

But Madi was young and frail and lacked strength. And this little guy is a rare talent, so Zhu Zhanji is reluctant to let him go to heaven, if something goes wrong, this loss will be great.

Although there is no evidence, as long as you look at who is the beneficiary of this matter, you can know who is behind the scenes.

Zhu Di also had no intention of pursuing Zhu Gaoxu's crimes, after all, he was also guilty of this son. At the time of the Jingjing, this son was born and died, and he made many military exploits, but now he can only be sent to Qingzhou.

He didn't have the heart to hold Zhu Gaoxu responsible, but it was difficult for this rumor to be quelled and people would stop talking about it.

After listening to Jin Kuo's advice, he also had to think that this was a good way.

Then he ordered: "Si Tianjian will pick an auspicious day and send people to heaven in Yingtianfu." ”

At this time, it was the Huangmei season, and it should be rainy in Tianfu, so it also gave Ma Di enough time to teach people skills and train.

And Jinyiwei posted the emperor's list all over the capital, announcing that around the Dragon Boat Festival, another young army sergeant would be sent to the sky, which also made many people dumbfounded.

It turns out that ordinary people can also go to heaven!

In this way, the rumor that the so-called Zhu Zhanji is the real Son of Heaven is self-defeating.

Zhu Zhanji held back in Xingqing Palace for half a month, and finally finished copying the Book of Filial Piety.

Although he was grounded, he had to do a lot of work. He had to worry about the construction of the Jiajiang Industrial Zone, the work guidance, the establishment of the research institute of the Xiamaqiao Farm, the nationwide investigation and reorganization of the navy, the formation of a working group to be sent to various places to supervise the naval divisions, and to lead the reorganization plan.

Therefore, it took half a month to copy the Book of Filial Piety before copying the more than 90,000 words.

And at this time, the fifty concubines selected for him have all been selected.

And the remaining two hundred and fifty people were not all directly released from the palace. After consulting them, those who wanted to go home were given travel fares. Those who are willing to stay in the palace will be arranged to be middle-level palace maids in the palace as the spare tire for Zhu Zhanji's concubine.

Usually, these show girls almost always choose to go home. After experiencing such an experience in the palace, even if you are not selected, but you can enter the final link, it means that you are not selected because of your appearance, but because of luck.

After returning home, these people are also worth a hundred times, and they ask for marriage in all directions.

But the grandson did such a thing, and this time there was still a little half-show girl who didn't want to go home, even if she was a spare tire, she wanted to stay in the palace.

In the end, in addition to these fifty show girls, more than 30 people were left in the palace, and most of them were also arranged to serve in Xingqing Palace.

They will not start as small palace maids, but directly as managers, they do not have to wait for others, they have their own functions, and they belong to the palace maids who are in charge.

For example, in Xingqing Palace, there are sixty-three palace maids alone. Food, clothing, housing, and etiquette, these are all in the special responsibility of someone.

And the fifty show girls selected still need to go through the level of choosing three, that is, three people are selected by Zhaoyi Guifei and the crown princess, one is the princess, and the remaining two are Liangdi.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming Law, Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, can have up to fifty-nine wives with good rank.

There is one concubine, two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, ten Chenghui, sixteen Zhaoxun, and twenty-four Fengyi.

The crown prince and grandson are general, and at most they can only have so many wives with good rank. After the quota is full, as for the women who want more, either eliminate the existing people, or they can only have no name and no share.

Of course, in the palace, it is not a name, but a treasure.

Except for the princess, who has a golden book and a treasure seal, the rest of the people only have a book without a treasure.

Only those who can be registered in the hierarchy can be regarded as daughters-in-law recognized by the royal family, and they can also have children.

Therefore, only a maximum of fifty concubines are selected each time, so as to leave a few shares for the grandson to choose by himself, or to the people around him before.

Of course, this is not fixed, even if these fifty places are not fixed, because it depends on whether Zhu Zhanji chooses a waiter.

Except for the first nine, these fifty people are fixed, and the latter ones all have a two-year internship period. Within two years, if Zhu Zhanji didn't sleep with her, then I'm sorry, I can only be a palace maid, or choose to go home.

The Ming Dynasty has only experienced three emperors now, of course, Zhu Di has only admitted two, and this is the second time that the large-scale selection of concubines has been made.

The first time was in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu. The choice of concubines that time was not for a certain one, but for dozens of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons and grandsons to choose together. For example, Zhu Zhanji's mother, including Zhu Yunwen's grandson, was chosen that time.

The concubine Taisun married by Zhu Yunwen died more than ten years ago, and Zhang's life was not as good as that of the Ma family, so he only pointed out a princess of King Yan, but now it is reversed.

In other words, there is no comparison between the two concubine selections, so this concubine selection is also selected according to the full quota of fifty. As for how much he stays, it depends on how many people Zhu Zhanji has slept with.

Unsurprisingly, Concubine Taisun was given to Sun Xian, Liangdi, one is the Sichuan Lan family, and the other is the Shandong Hu family.

Even if Zhu Zhanji attaches more importance to Ma Xin's background, Ma Xin is young and cannot compare with Hu in any aspect.

This Hu Shanxiang of the Hu family is also the deposed Queen Hu in the original history. Of course, she was deposed not because she was bad, but because Zhu Zhanji liked Sun Xian at the beginning.

In addition, Sun Xian gave birth to a son, but Hu Shanxiang did not, so he abolished the queen's position. But because of this incident, Zhu Zhanji's own reputation was damaged, and he regretted it in the end.

Ma Xin was named Liangyuan, which can already satisfy the Ma family, and the remaining four daughters of Fenghua Xueyue, at the request of Zhu Zhanji, also sealed Liangyuan, which means that Liangyuan only has one place left.

However, the rest of the people are not canonized for the time being, and this power is left to Zhu Zhanji in the future.

Ma Xin has lived in the palace since then, only Sun Xian, Hu Shanxiang, and Lan Yan were sent back to their homes or residences in the capital, and they only had to pick a good day and an auspicious day to hold a big wedding.

You don't have to worry about anything else, but Zhu Zhanji can only share the room with the princess first. Even if other women sleep, they must also use contraception first, and this ceremony cannot be abolished.

If according to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, the princess and the crown princess are not pregnant, and other women cannot get pregnant, in order to ensure the status of the eldest son and eldest grandson.

But now that Zhu Zhanji's soul has changed, this rule will be a fart in the future.

Who can guarantee that the eldest son and eldest grandson, the eldest son and grandson, will be a good emperor in the future? This position is still good for those who have both ability and political integrity.

If he lives long enough to implement a constitutional monarchy in the future, he can try this primogeniture system again.

Otherwise, this Da Ming will go back to the old way.

(Unsurprisingly, this is the final public chapter, thanks to our brothers and sisters for their support.) Old demon thanks)
