"This ...... Why don't we just play like this and don't put a bet. Zhang Yan couldn't think of what to bet on.

"If you don't put the bet, it won't be much fun for a while, so let's take off our clothes." Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and suddenly said with a smile.

"Ahh Your Majesty......" Zhang Yan and a few others said shyly and coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, it's better for you to set the bet to copper dollars, if this spreads outside the palace, I don't know how others should think of the emperor." Zhang Yan said softly.

Zhu Youxiao designed a dress, and it was rumored by people outside that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Although Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about these rumors, Zhang Yan is very concerned, and Zhang Yan has worn the dress once so far, and she is also the only one among the many concubines who has not worn it.

"I'm just kidding, we're still betting on copper dollars." Zhu Youxiao smiled awkwardly and decided.

Ay! This era is still conservative! Undressing with your wives will be rejected collectively! Of course, Zhu Youxiao can understand all this.

Mahjong is a very tempting game, especially for the many concubines in the harem who have nothing to do all day, and it is even more fatally tempting. Mahjong became popular throughout the harem almost within a few days. For a while, all the ivory in the palace treasury was used up, and the silver bureau was even more busy.

The popularity of mahjong is at least several times faster than that of "catching fast and killers", and it has become popular in the entire Beizhi in more than a month, and there are people playing in the entire Ming Dynasty in less than a year. There are different opinions about who invented the eraser, but in this time and space, in the history of mahjong development, Zhu Youxiao left a strong stroke.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao's first mahjong game in this time and space was a mess, either by putting a bar or by a cannon, or he was touched by them. Except for the three handfuls that started to be pasted in one night, I never pasted again. Although Zhang Yan doesn't like to play mahjong, she has the best luck and touches herself the most.

The first mahjong game was played until three o'clock, and it was at Zhang Yan's request that the mahjong ended.

"Your Majesty, you should go to the king's selection office tonight." Zhang Yan saw that Zhu Youxiao intended to stay at Concubine Li Cheng's place, and she immediately reminded her. Zhang Yan is very concerned about who is the turn to sleep every day.

"Okay, Orb, you get some rest early, too." Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhang Yan attached great importance to the rules, and he was not easy to force.

Wang Xuanzhi also entered the palace with Zhang Yan in a batch, but she was ranked outside the top three in the draft and was not named, so she was called a candidate. Among Zhu Youxiao's concubines, most of them are selected attendants.

……

Zhu Youxiao's admonition to Wang Liqian's adoption of the child also came to fruition this month.

It should be said that he was forced to produce results. After Zhu Youxiao told Wang Liqian to adopt the child, he soon forgot about it, but Wang Liqian still faithfully carried out Zhu Youxiao's will. After a few months, the place arranged by Zhu Youxiao was already full of children adopted by Wang Liqian, and now it is really impossible to live, so Wang Liqian has to remind Zhu Youxiao.

Of course, Wang Liqian's adoption of children outside was not in the name of Zhu Youxiao, but under other banners.

"Your Majesty, the minister has bought six thousand three hundred and forty-six girls and four thousand nine hundred and sixty-one boys. Now there is no way to house more people in the sanatorium in Huangzhuang. Wang Liqian said softly.

"Is there so many children adopted in this time? And how can there be so many girls? Zhu Youxiao said in surprise.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true that there are so many people, and there are many girls, and there are more families selling girls than boys." Wang Liqian replied.

Only then did Zhu Youxiao suddenly realize that during this period, it was impossible to choose the gender of childbirth, and it was destined to give birth to a boy or a girl. However, the preference for sons over women in the folk has led to an imbalance in the ratio of men and women among the people.

"The suffering of the people seems to be more serious than I imagined, and there are many problems." Zhu Youxiao said.

"In fact, under His Majesty's rule, the people's lives are much better than before. Now no one in the capital does not praise Your Majesty......" Wang Liqian hurriedly said.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to interrupt Wang Liqian's words and said, "Although I am in the palace, I also know about the affairs of the people, and I will go to meet this group of children tomorrow." ”

"Your Majesty, it's just that many of the boys and girls in this group are still young, and they have only begun to learn the rules, and I am afraid that they will not learn well for a while." Wang Liqian said.

"I understand the truth of fairy words, can I be such a small-bellied person?" Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"The minister is guilty...... Wang Liqian hurriedly said.

"Forget it. Tomorrow I will take the queen to visit these children. Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

I heard that Zhu Youxiao adopted tens of thousands of children, although Zhang Yan has always adhered to the principle of staying at home, she has no objection to leaving the palace this time.

Although the location of the sanatorium is also in Huangzhuang, it is not in the same direction as the new military camp. There are tens of thousands of children living in the home, but all of them are over the age of five and under the age of ten. Of course, this was specially arranged by Wang Liqian.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with this group of children?" Zhang Yan asked.

This is the first time Zhang Yan has come into contact with the bottom of society, which has touched her deeply, she didn't expect that there are so many people selling their sons and daughters in the people. Fortunately, after this group of children were sent to the nursing home, they had food to eat and clothes to wear, and if it was still the scene when they first came in, they would definitely be able to make Zhang Yan cry.

"Let them read first, Wang Liqian, arrange someone to teach them to read. After three months, I took an exam on them, arranged according to their grades. Three months later, I will have the Royal Academy of Arts and the Imperial Academy of Medicine pick people. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Let's pick some of the palace too." Zhang Yan said.

"Of course you can, but after the selection of the two academies is completed, there are still girls who have to be picked, not boys, and I said that there will be no more eunuchs in the palace in the future." Zhu Youxiao emphasized.

"The concubine understands." Zhang Yan nodded and said.

……

Xu Guangqi's experimental field has also begun to bear fruit, after Xu Guangqi's careful cultivation, although it has not yet reached the standard that Zhu Youxiao said, it is not far from what Zhu Youxiao said.

Xu Guangqi confidently guaranteed that next year will definitely reach the output mentioned by Zhu Youxiao. For Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao is still very confident, in this time and space, this period, in the Ming Dynasty, no one's agricultural achievements can compare with Xu Guangqi, whether in the selection and breeding, or the use of fertilizers, Xu Guangqi has summed up a set of experience, and he even wrote the book "Dung Rules".
