Chapter 48 Schedule

What exactly Jinghua meant, Shen Yong couldn't guess; But what the prince is going to do, he knows. When passing by Peng Li when returning from Dongting County, Wu Shen, a friend of the deceased, came to worship. Wu Shen is the tenth grandson of Wu Wangfucha, and his ancestor went to Chu after destroying Wu, and was treated well by the Chu State, so he was loyal to the King of Chu. It was him, five years ago, Wu Shenjin admonished that Yin Huangxie had the intention of usurping the country, so he was exiled to Fanyi; It was he who introduced the prince to the general, and his meaning was self-evident.

No matter how smart the crown prince is, he will not be able to govern more than ten years later; The prince is no longer incompetent, and he has already established a crown. Since the general has ambitions, why not take this opportunity to support the prince as king?

In the Chengyin Mansion, General Zuo Jinghua became more and more drunk, and the more Sima Shenyong thought about it, the more deeply he thought about it, and in the East Palace of the Royal Palace, Xiong Jing was still struggling with complicated affairs, and his daily schedule was roughly like this:

When he got up, he went to his father's place to greet him, and waited for his father to finish breakfast before returning to the East Palace to deal with affairs; At noon, I have to go to the main bed to say hello and serve, and then it is time to study; Dinner is as usual, and before going to bed, I have to go to Ruoying Palace to greet the queen mother, but fortunately, Concubine Zhao comes to bed every night, and it is exempt to go to Ruoying Palace to say hello.

In addition to the "poems", "rites", "music", "spring and autumn", "world" and "language" to learn before, you also have to learn the "order", with the old decree of the official law of the first king; It is necessary to learn the "Ancient Chronicles", and learn the way of the success or failure of the kings of the world; It is necessary to learn the "Discipline" to know the story of the Five Emperors and the reproduction of the clan.

Nine homework, six teachers, two hours of study every afternoon. Among them, Song Yu taught "Poems" and "Spring and Autumn", Guanzi taught "Language" and "Ancient Chronicles", and Xun Qing taught "Rites" and "Discipline"; Huang Xie taught "Order", Zhao Huang taught "Shi", and Nao Qian taught "Music".

At this time, Xiong Jing knew that "Music" was the art of war, and dancing was for war; "Poems", "Rites", and "Words" are diplomacy, and they are all particular about what to say, what songs to play, and what songs to sing; "Spring and Autumn", "Order", and "Ancient Chronicles" are the way of the king, especially the "Order", the decrees of the first kings of Chu are collected in it, what kind of royal decree was promulgated under what situation, who opposed it at that time, who was in favor, and how effective it was after implementation...... although it was a few words, but none of them were missing.

As for the "World" and the "Discipline", the former is a record of the reproduction of the royal family of the Chu State in the past dynasties, and the record is clear which of the first kings of a certain prince. What surprised him the most was that Qin Wu'anjun Bai Qi, who killed 400,000 troops of Zhao State in Changping Pit and irrigated Yingdu, was actually born in the Duke of Chu - one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Zhuang After the King of Chu, the result of the five sons competing for the crown was that the youngest son gave up his illness and became the king, and he was the king of Chuping. King Ping's eldest son was built as the crown prince, and Wu Hao and Fei Wuji were the princes.

Later, Fei Wuji falsely accused Wu Hao of rebelling against the prince, and King Ping, who obtained the throne by trickery, believed it, so Wu Hao's whole family was executed, and only one Wu Zixu ran away; Prince Jian also died in Zheng Guo, and was later killed by Zheng Guo, and his son Sheng was appointed as the county prince of Bai County by King Huiwang, the grandson of King Ping, and was the white duke. In the tenth year of King Hui, Chu Zheng was good, because his father's hatred could not be retributed, Bai Gongsheng rebelled, killed Yin and imprisoned King Hui, Ye Gong was defeated after entering Ying, and hanged himself in the mountains. His descendants fled to various countries, and they still took Bai as their surname when they entered the Qin lineage, and when the fifth Sun Bai Qi, it happened that Empress Dowager Mi and Wei Ran, who were also from Chu State, were in power, so they were reused.

Wu Zixu, the son of Wu Hao, is the secretary of the Chu family, and after Bai Gongsheng, Bai Qi became the prince of Chu. One of them led the Wu division into Ying, and the other led the Qin army to pull out Ying, and the blow to the Chu State was far better than any battle. Even though Xiong Jing still has some outsider thoughts, he is also embarrassed when he reads this.

"Shi" is so, "Xundian" is the emperor's hereditary and clan etiquette, but this book is written by Confucianism, and there are many conflicts with the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" compiled by Yu Guanzi and others, I don't know how to talk about these contents when Xun is not in Yingdu.

Greetings, affairs, and classes have filled the day's schedule, and the shipyard's technical affairs have to be moved to the evening. Children sleep at least 10 hours a day, so every day Xiong Jing is very sleepy, especially sleepy.

"Your Royal Highness......" In the atrium, Ge gently reminded Xiong Jing's body to tremble before he reluctantly opened his eyes, and in front of him was the fat face of Zheng Guodashang and Zi Qian Jiaxian.

"Where did you just go?" Xiong Jing wiped his eyes and asked in confusion.

"Your Highness has worked hard. The villain said that the interest on the loan is mostly five cents......" Xian Du said with a smile, Xiong Jing's drowsiness did not make him lose, but made him happy. "This is by no means a double loan, if Your Highness borrows, you can pay sixty percent of the money."

"I don't know." Xiong Jing is a little sober, five cents of interest is actually five percent of the monthly interest, twelve months a year, the interest is 60 percent of the principal, such a high interest rate of agricultural machinery loans are not enough.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, why is the borrowed money used, and how much does it cost?" The rejection in Xiong Jing's tone was naturally understandable, thinking that the King of Chu's 'non-great sacrifice and heavy quality' was not visible, and if he really retreated like this, he was afraid that he would never see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again in the future.

"Of course, borrowing money is for making money," Xiong Jing also smiled, "Since you plan to borrow, it won't be a small amount." Everything depends on the interest, if the interest rate is high, do not borrow, and if the interest is moderate, borrow appropriately; If the interest rate is low, then borrow big. Today, among the lower countries, only my Chu State and Qi Country are peaceful, and I have the most Ziqian family gathered in Chu State and Qi State, right? ”

"Exactly." Xiandui was solemn when he heard this, Dashang is not a city, and the capital more than 2,000 years ago is just as risk-averse, when today, the safest place is the Chu State and the Qi State, and the one in front of him is the new king of the Chu State in the future. "Your Highness, the interest of the nations is more than five cents, and the less is four cents, if Your Highness is in a hurry, you will be willing to give two thousand gold to help Your Highness."

"Not necessarily." Xiong Jing felt a little disappointed in his heart, "If there is something, I will call you again." Stand down."

“…… Only. Xian Du bowed to the ground, unable to see his expression clearly, and finally squirmed and retreated.

"Your Highness, if the cost is not much, you can ask Madame to help you." Ziqian's family left, and Ge was a little annoyed by this person's ignorance.

"You think it's just the shipyard that wants to borrow?" Xiong Jing took a sip of tea and said angrily. Every year, 16,000 gold will be given to Ling Yin's house, and no matter how much he saves, it will not be able to cover the expenditure. It is not very good to sell the gold and jade accumulated by the ancestors, and it is impossible to print money in the era of physical currency, and the tax increase will definitely be scolded, and the only thing that can be done is to issue treasury bonds. Who wants the interest rate to be so high, four or five cents as soon as he opens his mouth, he still thinks it's an annual interest, won't it be because he is worried that he can't be the king of Chu, right?

"Who's down there?" Xiong Jing no longer thinks about borrowing national bonds, and if he leaks another pot of water, he will go to bed to say goodbye.

"Your Highness, today's business is over." Ge replied, looking at Xiong Jing with some distress.
