Bi Maokang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks so, it is better to set up a special subject in the research institute, called Miscellaneous, so that no matter what kind of talent can be placed in the miscellaneous department, and then according to their strengths, find the corresponding teachers or let them study on their own, will it be better?" ”

Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and said: "This method is good, but listening to what Bi Qing said, it shouldn't be temporary, but I have already considered this matter, why don't you discuss it with me?" Am I so terrible that you dare not say anything? ”

Bi Maokang waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister only has some preliminary ideas, and he has not thought about them clearly, so he naturally does not dare to speak rashly. His Majesty has always been approachable in the research institute, how could the minister not dare to say it because he was afraid. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "That's good, Bi Qing can say anything if he has something to say, this has always been a quality that I admire." It's better that we don't do research like them. Then add two subjects, literature and history and miscellaneous subjects, and send a recruitment notice in the newspaper, and the examination will start in more than a month. ”

Daming Weekly wrote an editor's note behind the news of the new literature and history and miscellaneous subjects in the institute, pointing out that the entrance examination for these two subjects will be held in the hall of Beijing Normal University on May 18. It is also noted that any skill related to writing, including miscellaneous plays, poems and songs, will be included in the subject of literature and history. The other six subjects and literature and history that are not already in the existing can be classified as miscellaneous subjects. And for example, if a person is good at speaking oral skills, he can also be admitted to literature and history, and if he jumps rope well, he can also be admitted to miscellaneous subjects. But the premise is that it doesn't matter what you do, what matters is that you have to do a good job in this area.

At this time, Sun Chengzong finally returned to Beijing. Zhu Youxiao asked Yuntai to meet him. After the salute, Sun Chengzong began to report on his situation in the past two years.

Most of them have been said in the previous recitals, but one thing that Sun Chengzong said at the end attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention.

Sun Chengzong said: "Two Portuguese found the minister and proposed to unite with the Ming to attack the Spaniards and the Dutch. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked: "What is the relationship between the Spaniards and the Portuguese, aren't they very good?" Why do the Portuguese now want to unite us against the Spaniards? ”

Sun Chengzong replied: "The minister inquired, the Francophone people I called the Ming Dynasty actually include the Portuguese and Spaniards, and even the Dutch. But there is a difference within them. The Portuguese in Macau, the Spaniards in Luzon, and the Dutch in Batavia. And the Portuguese are now one country with the Spaniards. For this reason, the minister was a little worried about whether the Portuguese were cheating. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and missionaries have discussed this issue. The land from which the missionaries came, as they called Europa, was divided into many small countries, and there was no such large country as the Ming Dynasty. There is some kinship between the royal families of their countries. The Portuguese originally had their own king, but more than forty years ago, after the death of their king, it was the King of Spain who succeeded to the throne of Portugal. In this way, Portugal became part of Spain. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked, "What does it mean that the Portuguese will unite with us to attack the Spaniards?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "I heard from the missionaries that in fact, the Portuguese did not want the Spanish king to be the king of Portugal, at that time the Spanish captured the capital of Portugal by force, and the church also supported the Spanish king, so the Portuguese had to let the Spanish king serve as the king of Portugal. In this way, it is also possible that some Portuguese hated the Spaniards deeply. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Where are those two Portuguese now?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The minister thought that they were just big words, so he casually said two perfunctory sentences, but the minister wrote down their names and addresses. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The elder Ge has a good way to deal with it, hand over the information to the Huang Bingbu, he is just going to do this kind of thing, Asia is the Asia of Asians, we have to drive them out of this person." Now there is no need for Japan to keep a large number of navies, and with Taiwan as a base, I am ready to turn all the navy into a navy, and the name of the navy is no longer needed. ”

When Yan Siqi was recruited, the title of naval governor was already used. But there is still a navy, and now it is equivalent to merging the original navy and navy together, like Zhang Qianfang was originally the governor of the navy, and now he has also become a navy.

Huang Kezhang said: "Your Majesty, Taiwan is used as a naval base, but can the families of people like Yan Siqi and others be placed in Xiamen?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I understand what the Huang Bingbu means. However, I have always thought that loyalty is closely related to our own strength, and when we are strong, they will naturally be loyal. Besides, Shu believes that being a Chinese should be something that the vast majority of Chinese should be proud of. So my opinion is that we must first believe in them, and secondly, we must retain the means of countermeasures, but forget about detaining family members. ”

Huang Kezhang said ashamedly: "Your Majesty has the amount of the sea, and the ministers can't reach it. The minister will complete the handover with Sun Ge Lao as soon as possible and go to the south. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I am south of the Ming Dynasty all the way to Luzon, and all the sea areas are called the South China Sea. All the islands, the land along the coast, should be the land of China. Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the economic strategy of the South China Sea, and he was responsible for all military, political and civil affairs. ”

Huang Kezhang knelt on the ground and said: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations, use my Chinese civilization to educate the barbarians, and let me be famous overseas." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Elder Sun Ge and Huang Jingluo will hand over a little first, and I still have important tasks to entrust to you." ”

Two days later, Zhu Youxiao called Sun Chengzong. After saluting, Zhu Youxiao said: "I think you already know about Yuan Chonghuan, a disciple of Master Sun, in the past. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "It is all the ministers who teach and have no way, so that they do not know the laws of the court, and if they have the way to die, it is also his life." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Actually, Master Sun may not believe it, I had high hopes for Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning, but unfortunately he didn't fight for himself, and I couldn't help it." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The old minister understands that it is already a rare grace to directly enter the Ministry Division with a knowledge of the county, and later sent him to thirteen people to rescue the righteous people, so he can only blame himself for living up to the holy grace." ”

That's the point. Zhu Youxiao asked: "Now that Jiannu is no longer afraid, I don't know what Master Sun thinks about the affairs of the northern borderlands. ”

Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time and said: "If the Jiannu are all destroyed, the Mongols will be big, and this matter is a little troublesome." ”
