On the second day after the "People's Daily" was sold, several civil officials wanted to give advice to Hongzhi when they were in the court, saying that the "People's Daily" was sensationalizing and rebellious. These are the imperial history, this official is famous for being honest, not that the people who do the imperial history are all characters with both ability and political integrity, but this position has no real power, what they do is to hearsay things, there is really nothing to fish, so once something small happens, they will brush their sense of existence in the court, and someone will spend money to come to them to advise the emperor in the future.

Most officials know that "The People's Daily" is sold by Jinyiwei, how can it be possible if it doesn't have a royal background, so most people choose not to speak. Hongji also asked them, "Is there any rebellion in the "People's Daily"? Several imperial historians had no choice but to answer no. Hongji continued to ask, "Since there is none, in what name does the imperial court sanction it?" At this moment, the court also acquiesced in the existence of "People's Daily".

"Ming Pao" is all in classical Chinese, most people can't read it at all, "People's Daily" is different, it's all vernacular, even if there is classical Chinese, there is a translation under the article, now as long as you can read the words, you can read it. So his sales are also rising again and again. In just 10 days, Guangshun Tianfu sold 300,000 copies, while Ming Pao sold slightly less than 250,000 copies. As time goes by, the gap between the two will only get wider. However, "People's Daily" was sold at cost price, so it did not start making a profit.

The first issue of the "People's Daily" can be said to meet most of the entertainment needs of ordinary people, seeing this survey, no matter who they are, they feel afraid, Wang Shu's statement is even more convincing to the people, and they have made up their minds not to get married before 17, after all, no one wants their children to be in danger. Whether it is the parents in it, or the serialized "Shooting the Condor", it makes the people talk about it.

Time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, it has arrived in February of the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, this year Zhu Houzhao is 13 years old, Zhu Houwei is 9 years old, and the little girl is also 7 years old.

The Zhu Mansion is also more prosperous, and because Zhu Houwei's "Shooting the Condor" began to be sold in other places, the profits are also continuously sent to the Zhu Mansion. Although "People's Daily" has begun to publish "Shooting the Condor", the impact is only the ordinary edition, and it has little impact on the hardcover edition and the collector's edition. The book has a deep background, so even though there are pirated versions of the regular edition in remote areas, the hardcover and collector's editions are not. Booksellers from other places also pulled cartloads of "Shooting the Condor" to sell to all parts of the country. As of February, a total of 300,000 hardcover copies have been sold, and 50,000 collector's editions have been sold. In the end, the profit sent to Zhu's mansion was about 1 million taels, and after this figure was counted, Zhu Houzhao happily told Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, both of them were stunned when they heard it, it was a prosperous era in recent years, but the country's income was less than 10 million taels a year, and I didn't expect that a novel written by my youngest son would earn one-tenth of the country's income.

Zhu Fu did not stop accepting people, in addition to the border between Shanxi and Tatar in the north, Shaanxi is also a border, so Zhu Houzhao has long ordered Shaanxi, and even outside the customs to accept orphans. At this time, Jinyi Wei was busy, Shaanxi, and Shanhaiguan were full of Jinyi Wei Ti riding figures, which made Duoyan Sanwei and Tatar think that the Ming Dynasty had made any big moves, and they sent envoys to inquire. In the end, before December of the 15th year of Hongzhi, a total of 294 boys and 168 girls were accommodated, so the number of people in the house was almost 800 people, but fortunately, the Zhu Mansion was very large, covering an area of about 120 acres, and it was enough now. In February, these second-phase students also understood the rules of the house, but because there were too many people, they invited 7 gentlemen to teach the children Chinese, and Zhu Houwei no longer taught mathematics, so many students he was also lacking in skills, so he asked the students who went to the household department with him to investigate the substitute teaching, anyway, their mathematics teaching these second-phase students is no problem, as for the first-phase students, it is Zhu Houwei to these student representatives, and the student representatives will teach again, even if there is something that they don't understand, Zhu Houwei only needs to answer these people. Due to the increase in the number of people, the number of sports in physical education classes has also increased, and that is badminton, after all, it is impossible for so many people to play football. However, Zhu Houzhao is not very interested in badminton, and he stopped playing after playing twice. He still likes the fierce ** collision between men.

Although Zhu Houwei doesn't teach mathematics anymore, but now he has begun to teach nature, only teaching one semester, this course is a little easier to teach than mathematics, basically just cite a natural phenomenon first, and then tell what kind of impact this natural phenomenon will have on human beings, as for the reasons for its formation, some say and some don't say. This group of students are all blank sheets of paper, so you can let Zhu Houwei splash ink to paint, for example, when talking about earthquakes, everything else is said, but how it was formed will not be said, after all, this kind of geographical knowledge is too difficult for him, and he didn't learn it well in his previous life, but when it comes to the wind, Zhu Houwei is excited, what land wind and sea wind, that's what he talks about, why are he excited about this, it is because of his love for sail warships in his previous life, and he specially learned some peripheral knowledge. I also told the students that the place we live in is called the earth, it is round, why do we live on it and not fall down, it is because this earth has gravity, what is gravity, then I talked about the first law of Houwei. Yes, it is the first law of Houwei, and the second and third laws that follow. As for Brother Niu, who cares about him, it will take more than 100 years to be born. Zhu Houwei's shameless character was once again vividly expressed.

This course is closely related to life and is very interesting, Zhu Houzhao, an elder brother who is not interested in learning, often comes to audit, and keeps asking his younger brother after class, "Is this true?" Every time, Zhu Houwei would pretend lightly: "Time will tell." ”

For the craftsmen of Zhufu, this period of time is a heavenly life, first of all, the men in the family are doing things, there is a monthly salary, the women in the family are also recruited to help in the canteen of the house, there are also 3 taels of silver every month, children, both male and female, are sent to the academy in the house to study with those students, originally those craftsmen have nothing to say about sending their sons, but they are a little reluctant to send their daughters too. Later, it was the housekeeper Liu who came up and scolded them so that they turned back. Steward Liu's bar, all the craftsmen gathered together, and as soon as they came up, they scolded, "You guys who eat people and don't do anything about killing embryos, what do you think one by one, you are anxious to touch your conscience and ask yourself what kind of life you are living in the house, will the young masters still harm you, what are you doing hiding your daughters in the house one by one, now there are clothes every six months and months, and you all go directly to the canteen to eat, what do you do when your daughter is put at home, hatching chicks?" Do they still want to marry their daughters off one by one? I haven't read "People's Daily", this is forcing my daughter to die, think about it yourself. With that, he left. When the craftsmen heard it, this is the reason, and now they are slowly forming the idea of getting married at 17, do they raise their daughters until they are 17? There is not so much work to do at home, it's good to learn something, anyway, the two young masters won't harm them, and those who are poor and only have their lives left before entering the house are afraid of anything, so the next day they asked their daughter to report to Dou's housekeeper by themselves.

Now there are two workshops in the house, one is a glass workshop, one is a printing workshop, people are dug from the Ministry of Industry to dig the foot of the wall, the Ministry of Industry is not distressed, Hongji also knows, as the old saying goes, "the son steals his father is not a thief", so the brothers dug a total of 50 craftsmen, of which 35 are made of glass. Originally, there was no need for so much, but now the glass is still being studied and trial-produced, and once it is successful, it will be mass-produced, which can be regarded as a rainy day.

Everything in the palace was in order, both money and materials were sufficient, and the expansion of "Ming Pao" and "People's Daily" was also increasing day by day, and the brothers were also full of ambition. Zhu Houzhao is a temperament that can't be idle, and one day he asked Zhu Houwei, "What are we going to do next, it's too boring to keep repeating the previous one every day." Zhu Houwei thought for a while before raising his head and said to Zhu Houzhao very seriously, "Farming." Seeing Zhu Houzhao's stunned look on his face, Zhu Houwei walked away happily.
