Chapter 173: The Son of a Loser Enters the Palace

It's impossible to roll, it's impossible to roll in this life. Zhu Youneng dealt with his father: "Dad, you really don't buy land?" You have to know, don't look at the land is expensive now, it will be more expensive in the future, and you won't lose money if you buy it now. ”

Of course, Zhu Quanyu knows this truth, but the question is who is willing to sell land. Selling land is a ruined act, and it is more than 100 dumps.

"It's not that Dad doesn't want to buy it, our family has so much money."

Zhu Youneng smiled: "Dad, don't hide it from me, don't you still have a coffin book."

Zhu Quanyu's coffin originally referred to the box of jewelry, and Zhu Youneng Niang left early. When he was dying, he handed over a box of jewelry he had saved to Zhu Quanyu, saying that he would use it when Zhu Youneng grew up and married his daughter-in-law.

mentioned this Zhu Quanyu angrily: "Little rabbit cub, that's what your mother left for your daughter-in-law, you use it to buy land, don't think about it!"

"Dad, you give the box of treasures to the child, and the child adds a little more by himself, let's go to Zhao Zhan Country to buy back the 100 dumps of fertilizer in Dongcheng."

This is a great temptation, Zhu Quanyu's heart is moved, and he has been thinking about the hundred dumps of fertile fields in his Dongcheng. It's a pity that he has changed Xishan with Zhao Zhanguo, although the Xishan glaze factory is booming, but after all, it's a pity that such a good fertilizer field was sold.

"We occupied his house in Xishan and built a glaze factory, then Zhao Yushi hates you to the bone, how can he sell the 100 dumps of fertile land to you again?"

Zhu Youneng smiled again, and said solemnly: "Dad, you don't care about it." As long as you give me the box of jewels at the bottom of the box, I will have a way to redeem our family's 100 acres of fertile land. ”

At noon, Youwei came.

"Master Zhu, the palace is busy with government affairs. Your Majesty can't get out of his body, so he can't come to you to discuss the matter of the glasses shop, and ask Zhu Gongzi to go back to the palace with the slave maid. ”

Zhu Quanyu didn't speak, and the matter of buying land could be regarded as acquiescence. Although I don't know what method this loser will use to find Zhao Zhanguo, it doesn't matter if he can really redeem the hundred hectares of fertile land in Dongcheng and spend some money.

Zhu Quanyu thought about it for a while, and finally he was still not at ease, and advised: "Neng'er, although you are favored by Your Majesty. You can't bully others, if Zhao Zhanguo refuses to sell, we can't force it. ”

Zhu Youneng said nonchalantly: "I know my father, the child will let Zhao Zhanguo willingly sell the land to me."

When Zhu Youneng entered the palace with Youwei, as soon as the two arrived at the gate of the Ming'an Palace, they heard Li Ji scolding inside.

"What does he eat! How many times have I said it, imperial examinations, imperial examinations! And a few of you Hanlin bachelors are also old ministers, and I have a deadline of half a month to make the exam questions. Local policies should be relaxed, but those who are literate should be given points. ”

"Your Majesty, it's just that the exam questions you said are out of some current affairs. This made the ministers come up with some abacus, focusing on arithmetic, and they were not in harmony with the law. ”

During the Tang Dynasty, the subjects that scholars liked to participate in were Ming Jing and Jinshi.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the rulers of ancient dynasties paid attention to using Confucianism to unify people's thoughts, which is one of the important reasons for the popularity of the Ming Classics.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Jinshi Department was mainly used as a sign of the examination.

Jinshike was wildly sought after by society in the Tang Dynasty, and Jinshike's status in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was established. Since then, Jinshi has become the dominant subject in the imperial examination system in the future.

The Ming Law, the Ming Arithmetic Department and the first rank are lower. The content of the examination of the Ming Law Department is mainly to test the law, order policy, etc., and the purpose is to select officials who are proficient in law. The Ming Calligraphy Department is referred to as "Calligraphy", also known as the "Ming Character Course", and the content of the examination is mainly based on philology, as well as calligraphy.

The Ming Arithmetic Department was not taken seriously in the Tang Dynasty, and its social impact was very small. The Department of Mathematics, also referred to as "Mathematics", is used to select professionals who are proficient in mathematics. In the traditional society that emphasizes the treatment of techniques, the technology, and the way over the weapon, the arithmetic discipline that selects mathematical talents is the last subject in the regular discipline and is not taken seriously.

And Li Ji did the opposite, he wanted to improve the treatment of arithmetic and Ming law. The rank of the officials has also been raised, which is tantamount to a flood of beasts to the ministers, and they are naturally strongly rejected by them.

"What I want is a talent who can govern the country and secure the country, not a slave who can only write poems and make sycophants! Passing on my will, this year's imperial examination will give equal importance to law and arithmetic. If any courtier is not satisfied, take off your official uniform and let me go back to my hometown to farm! ”

The following old ministers were terrified, the emperor was really here. Long Yan was furious, and no one dared to persuade him at the moment.

The exam questions are only mock questions and will not be used as student exam papers.

The mock test questions were made for Li Ji to see, and when the exam was really going to be taken, the person who made the questions in the Hanlin Academy would be locked up. In order to prevent leakage, they could not be free until the end of the imperial examination.

Li Ji read the test questions from the Hanlin Academy a few times, and he was angry. It's all old antique test questions, mainly testing the students' literary merits, rhyme and the like. The topic of governing the country and the state is left at the end, and the selection of such imperial examinations is some literati who can only write poetry and songs.

In the troubled times, what Li Ji needed was the talent to govern the country and the country, his views on current affairs, and his mastery of law and arithmetic.

Now that the law of the Tang Dynasty is lax and science and technology are regressing, Li Ji urgently needs talents in this area.

The prodigal son and Youwei waited honestly outside the hall, and Zhu Youneng was secretly shocked in his heart: Fortunately, Lao Tzu is not an official, and Brother Li is so terrible to be angry. If Lao Tzu became an official, this brother would not have to do it.

Zhu Youneng and Youwei waited outside the hall for most of the day, and they were not allowed to enter until the courtiers withdrew.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Ji was still angry: "Brother Zhu, you came just in time." These old ministers, I'm mad at me! ”

"Your Majesty, we can't be angry with them. If they are disobedient, they will order them to go home and farm, don't look at these old ministers shouting for dismissal and dismissal, in fact, they are very scared. If Your Majesty really let them dismiss them, I am afraid that they will kneel down and cry and beg you again. "Zhu Youneng knows these officials well, and he knows exactly what they are.

Although Li Ji is smart, he is young after all. He didn't understand the routines of these old fritters in the officialdom, and when he heard Zhu Youneng say this, Li Ji asked in surprise: "You mean, these officials want to resign and scare me?"

Zhu Youneng nodded: "Next time someone threatens to resign, Your Majesty will directly rip off his official uniform, and Yulu will also stop, you see if they beg for mercy or not."

Li Ji was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll try it next time."

These officials touched Li Ji's temper, and when things didn't go their way, they would threaten to dismiss the official: "Your Majesty is so embarrassed by the old minister, and the old minister really has no other way but to tell the old man to return to his hometown and resign."

At this time, Li Ji had no choice but to compromise. It seems that this loser knows them very well, and the next time he tries it, whoever wants to resign will let him go directly, and he will never be hired.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about the glasses shop?"

Li Ji suddenly remembered: "Oh, you don't say that I still forgot." Brother Zhu, I asked the craftsmen in the palace to do a thing. You can find some carpentry to do it, put it in the eyeglass shop, and make sure you get rich. ”

As soon as he heard that he was rich, Zhu Youneng's eyes lit up again: "What did Your Majesty say?"

This prodigal son is extremely smart, and he screams outside the palace one by one, and he doesn't regard himself as an outsider. As soon as he arrived in the palace, he immediately became His Majesty, without any sense of disobedience.

'Brush', Li Ji opened something, folding fan.

The folding fan was not available in the Tang Dynasty, and there was only a record of the folding fan in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty used round fans.

"What is this?" Zhu Youneng was very interested.

Li Ji shook the folding fan gently: "This is called a folding fan, it is simple to make, you go back to recruit people and tailor it according to this." Put it in the glasses shop and it's going to be a hit. ”

Of course it will be hot, and it will be in short supply just as well. Now that the night market has opened, Luoyang City is bustling with people at night. In the summer, a folding fan is swayed on the street, which is the most leisurely.

This thing will be like everyone in the 90s with this big brother BB machine in their hands, and a folding fan in each hand may become the standard configuration for night markets in Beijing.

Zhu Youneng was overjoyed: "The folding fan is good, it's really a good baby." But Brother Li, this thing shouldn't be called a folding fan, but like a screen, why don't you call it a screen fan? ”

In the excitement, he forgot to call His Majesty again, and changed it to Brother Li.

Li Ji didn't care, he shook his head: "No, the screen fan is too ugly, it's called a folding fan." How are you and Miss Du? Li Ji suddenly asked again.

As soon as he mentioned this, the son of the family, who had never been ashamed or ashamed, became a little shy: "This, hehe, hehe, brother, I asked her to meet her in Jade Lane tonight."

Li Ji was also worried that Du Fangying would not look down on this loser, if Zhenlang had no intention of having a mistress, Li Ji would have no choice.

Unexpectedly, Du Fangying agreed to date, which is a good signal to prove that Zhu You can have a show.

"Yes, I can't see that you kid still has some skills."

Zhu Youneng was even more shy: "Your Majesty, I didn't tell you." Before, I felt that women were like that, and I had also been to places like Drunken Apricot Tower and Qingxiao Tower. But since I met Miss Du, I feel different. Except for her, other women are vulgar fans. ”

"Shh Li Ji was shocked: "You won't tell her about your trip to Zuixing Tower, right?"

Zhu Youneng was stunned: "You treat me as stupid, how can you say this kind of thing, if you say it, I will die." I told her that I'm not that kind of person since you've been to this kind of place. ”

Li Ji laughed: "Well, that's right, of course Master Zhu is not that kind of person." If you're not that kind of person, who else is that kind of person in the capital? ”

Who in the entire capital didn't know that the loser was eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, saying that he had never been to the Qinglou, how could Du Fangying, who was so self-deceiving, believe that Zhu Youneng was a little afraid: "Then, then what should I do?"

"You, just tell her the truth. You've been to the Drunken Apricot Building, and you've been there often. But you promise you that you won't go a second time after you get to know her. Also, you can't admit what you did when you went to Zuixing Mansion before, just say that you just went to drink flower wine, and you didn't do anything else. ”

"Brother Li is reasonable, brother, I thank you again!"
