For 5 days, Zhu Houwei did not let the craftsmen start to do things, but let them enjoy the meals in the canteen every day, 46 people, each of whom was given 2 sets of clothes, the same as the people in Zhu's house, the men were blue, and the women were green.

For these five days, it was as if they were in heaven, with enough food, new clothes to wear, and silver in their pockets, which was unimaginable before. For this reason, the leading Tan Qi also held a mobilization meeting, the main content is that the current good life is given by the Zhu Mansion, and it is given by the two young masters, and whoever starts to work in the future is like before, the work is not serious, and there are many defective products, then he will truthfully report to Steward Liu and expel those who do not work carelessly from the Zhu Mansion. After listening to this, everyone said that if they didn't do it well, they didn't need to report to Lao Tan, and they would leave with their families.

Zhu Houwei didn't know much about making glass, so he could only customize the standards for the glass to be burned in the future for the craftsman, and then let the craftsman solve the problem by himself. However, for these craftsmen, this gang leader is not small, and due to the misunderstandings of their predecessors, they have been doing it for so long, but they still haven't jumped out. In the past, in the Ministry of Industry, everyone was paid a dead salary, and they might not be able to eat enough, so they didn't have the heart to think about how to improve the process. If you want to say that the craftsmanship of these people is either ancestral and has been exposed to it since childhood, or they are outstanding in private glass shops, so in this industry, they are definitely top talents. As soon as they entered the Zhu Mansion, the owner did not make a wish, but first let them experience such a "luxurious" life, the craftsmen looked at the renewed brilliance in the eyes of their families, and the children no longer shouted hunger, and their hearts were also ignited with fighting spirit, and they must make the glass that the owner wants.

But in any case, it will take a long time to make the glass, and this is not rushed. Zhu Houwei decided to start cultivating medical talents, which can be started now. For this reason, first in the Boy Scouts according to their own wishes, and then let them have a sense of smell and taste, and finally selected 40 people to learn medical skills, including 10 men and 30 women, quite the style of the later liberal arts class. Classes are held in the last two classes of the morning. Now in the morning, the main thing is to let them read and write, although they have already begun to teach the Analects, but Zhu Houwei only let them learn the truth of this, not like the current scholars, just choose a sentence from it and write an eight-strand essay.

The teaching book chose "Soup Song", the "Soup Song" was first published in 1694, he was written by Wang Ang of the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Houwei's grandfather in his previous life was an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he also let him learn medical skills when he was a child, but unfortunately Zhu Houwei felt that Chinese medicine was too boring and boring, and the Chinese people did not trust it much, so he did not continue to study, and when he was young, Chinese medicine began to develop slowly, and he wanted to go back and learn again, but his grandfather was no longer there, so he also completely put down Chinese medicine. But fortunately, it was the "Soup Song" taught by his grandfather, and he still memorized it, and the memory of this life really didn't say.

If the teaching materials are available, the students have them, and the teachers are missing. So Zhu Houwei invited his personal imperial physician Huang Deliang to come, and he was going to persuade him to take out his housekeeping skills to teach these children, but Huang Deliang immediately agreed when he heard that he was going to Zhu's mansion to call these children. In the past, when these children first entered the house, Huang Deliang helped them diagnose whether they had diseases, and when he saw a doctor, he knew that these children were all miserable, and he did not have such a big view of medical skills. I was surprised for a while when I saw the textbook Zhu Houwei took out, and I asked Zhu Houwei who did it. There was no way to be asked, Zhu Houwei had no choice but to say, it was an ancient book collected by the original owner of Zhu Mansion, and the author was from the Song Dynasty, named Wang Ang, and he had already made an ancient book. I also comforted myself in my heart that this was the return of things to their original owners, but it was just that he was born hundreds of years earlier. Huang Deliang sighed after listening to it, "It's a pity that I can't discuss it with my predecessors, but it's a pity that such a good medical book has been shelved, buried, buried." As he spoke, he clenched his right hand into a fist and struck the palm of his left hand. Zhu Houwei does not understand medical skills, so he does not understand the value of "Tangtou Song", and the book selects more than 300 commonly used prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine, which are divided into 20 categories, such as tonic, publication, attacking, and vomiting. It is summarized and summarized in the form of a seven-word song. It is accompanied by a brief annotation on each side for beginners, and it is a wonderful medical enlightenment textbook, and in 1961, it also published the "Vernacular Explanation of Soup Songs".

Then within a month, 40 medical students memorized such an enlightening medical book, and during this period, Huang Deliang also brought many commonly used medicinal materials for them to learn to identify.

After dinner on this day, the family sat at the table and chatted, Queen Zhang smiled and said, "Now you two have made a lot of progress in your studies, and you are both smart, and you are now thinking about living a life of teasing your grandson as soon as possible, and you are the eldest brother, and in 2 years, your father will make a decree to marry you a wife" Hongzhi also smiled and nodded, "Hehe, this is not bad." Zhu Houzhao was anxious when he heard this, followed by a woman, how to have fun in the future. And once married, it means that he is an adult, in the final analysis, Zhu Houzhao is still very afraid of the responsibilities he has to bear as an adult, so he said, "The child doesn't want to marry a wife and have children, and I shouldn't be so early, it's better to wait a few more years, if the mother is in a hurry, the second brother can get married first." ”

As soon as the words fell, it attracted the siege of everyone, first of all, Hongzhi set the tone, "Full of nonsense, you are the eldest son, how can you let your younger brother get married first, and wear it out, my royal family is not in line with the etiquette law, do you want to lose face?" Her face was stretched and she looked angry, but Queen Zhang still smiled and said, "If you don't marry a wife, Hou Wei won't be able to get married, you won't think about delaying Hou Wei, and it's because of your temperament that you have jumped out, so you have to find a good wife as soon as possible to make you more stable." ”

One sings with a white face and the other with a red face, the tacit understanding between husband and wife is just right, so that Zhu Houzhao is speechless, Zhu Houzhao has no choice but to ask the second brother who pays more attention for help, and as soon as he turned his face, he met two sharp eyes, and there was only one kind of information in his eyes, "You traitor, you don't want to get married, you sold me and let me block the front?" Quickly comprehending Zhu Houwei's eyes, Zhu Houzhao's expression couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he still called for help with "pitiful" eyes, and his hands were still slightly arched towards his younger brother underneath. Zhu Houwei slowly withdrew his "hot" eyes and began to think about it, after all, this is a problem of cold lips and teeth, if Zhu Houzhao ends early, then he probably won't be late. Hongzhi and Empress Zhang saw the small movements of the two brothers, but they didn't say anything, but there was a smile in their eyes. Just when she was about to quiet down, the little girl spoke, "Mother, mother, if the eldest brother and the second brother have a sister-in-law, don't you want to be a child?" Tears rolled in his eyes as he spoke. Empress Zhuang and Zhu Houwei replied at the same time, "No." Zhu Houwei continued to say to the little girl seriously, "No matter what time you are, you are the eldest brother and second brother's favorite son, no matter who comes, it's the same." The little girl looked at the second brother, and then at Queen Zhang and Zhu Houzhao, who were nodding, and couldn't help laughing, "It's better to be the second brother." Zhu Houzhao was depressed. At this time, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Houzhao, who made you not usually look like a brother, and now you recognize him as a second brother." Zhu Houzhao could only reply curtly, "Hehe, what my mother said is true." Only then did he open his mouth and said seriously to Hongji, "Daddy, the child has an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not." Hongji lowered his face and said, "How can you learn this set, what do you say directly." "Yes, the child thinks so, the people are the power of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Taizong also said, 'the king is the boat, the people are the water', if you have more water, the boat can be unimpeded in the river, if the water is less, the boat may hit the reef, the people are more, the power of the Ming Dynasty is stronger, and in the current peaceful and prosperous era to increase the number of people, then try to feed the child, but the child listened to the imperial doctor Huang Deliang said that a woman giving birth to a child is like stepping into the palace of the king of Hades, presumably the mother gave birth to our brother and sister The same is true." As he spoke, he looked at Empress Zhang, who nodded with satisfaction. The little girl threw herself directly into Queen Zhang's arms and hugged her mother tightly. Hongzhi also nodded in agreement, and Zhu Houwei continued, "Therefore, the child wants the household department to carry out a household registration survey in the capital, know the whole country from one place, find out when the woman will give birth to minimize the danger, so that the newborn child can be guaranteed to survive to the greatest extent, and I hope that the father agrees." After listening to it, Empress Zhang also persuaded on the side, "It's better to rely on Houwei, now I still have palpitations when I think of giving birth to these three children, if I can succeed, it will be a merit in the present and a thousand years of benefit." ”

Hongji pondered for a while, and then said, "Daddy has responded to this matter, and I will let the household department investigate tomorrow, but I can only inquire about the woman's birth, and I don't ask much else." "Yes, Daddy." Why can't you ask other Zhu Houwei probably knows, because there are still black households in this world. There will be black households in large households, the farther away from the capital, the greater the probability of this, there is a poll tax in this era, and concealing these black households is also a means of illegal tax avoidance by large households, and some people will raise black households to do something shady for them, and some people will not survive on the initiative to take refuge in large households to be black households, and they will not pay taxes in the future. Once it is thoroughly investigated, it will be a big battle, and it may make this peaceful and prosperous era rebel all at once, and Zhu Houwei also knows the severity.

So on the second day, Hongzhi sent a decree to let the head of the household department start to check the birth status of the women in the registered families in the capital, and the crown prince and the second son of the emperor assisted from the side. Tong Zhong (1439-1511), the word is large, and the number is Dushan. His ancestral home was Niejiazhuang, Qingfeng County, Henan, and he was mutined at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and migrated to Fenghuangling, Yuncheng (now Tonglou Village, Suiguantun Town, Yuncheng County). He Zhong has few ambitions, studies diligently, and recites all day long. Read the Four Books and the Five Classics first, and then read the "Zizhi Tongjian" and the Hundred Histories of Zhuzi. Often the rooster crows and sleeps late at night. He is moved and refreshing, decisive, and upright. Because of his merit in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, he entered the household department and was in charge of the world's household registration, money and grain.

For this investigation, Zhu Houwei also specially selected three 15-year-old boys who were good at mathematics from the Boy Scouts to participate together, and they used the Indian numbers taught by Zhu Houwei to complete the statistics, and then Zhu Houwei himself counted them to verify whether the three of them made mistakes. The household department sent 20 people, Zhu Houwei had a total of four, and Zhu Houzhao was purely an ornament. In the end, it took Zhu Houwei 3 days to complete the statistics, and it took 5 days for the household department, and the final comparison, the results of both sides were the same.

Hubu Shangshu was very surprised by this result, and hurriedly checked the data on Zhu Houwei's side, and also became interested in this Indian number. After all, 20 adult household officials are not as efficient as 4 children, which is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face for these officials who are used to being superiors. Those subordinate officials were a little jealous when they looked at the three children from the Zhu Mansion. The three of them used to be ordinary people, and they suddenly felt the malice from so many big people, and they couldn't help but be a little scared, but fortunately, there was Zhu Houwei in front of them, which was a little better, and they had a clearer understanding of this second young master and the eldest young master standing proudly on the side - the background was unfathomable, and it might be the current emperor's own son, otherwise how could he be qualified to participate in the investigation of the Ming Household Department. Tong Zhong is an upright person, not the right person, put down his body to ask the three children, ask them how long they have been learning mathematics, after getting the answer of "less than half a year, and it was taught by the second young master himself", the 63-year-old Lao Zhong looked at Zhu Houwei's eyes became hot, Zhu Houwei expressed his respect for this strong "base feeling", and shivered. After learning that Tong Zhong wanted to learn this mathematical counting method by himself, and promoted it in the household department. Zhu Houwei felt that this old man was still very respectable, and he was willing to study hard to achieve today's status, and he really lived to learn from the old age, so he agreed. gave him a textbook for students to study, and asked him to go to the East Palace to find him if he didn't understand, and everyone discussed it together. Kunning Palace is not suitable, after all, it is where the queen lives, what does it mean for you to drill a foreign minister and old king, Zhu Mansion is not yet in front of everyone, he lives in the wing of Kunning Palace now, and there is no government room, so let him go to the East Palace, the gossip will always be smaller, and there is no problem in finding the prince, after all, everyone understands in their hearts that this Ming Dynasty will be handed over to Zhu Houzhao in the future.
