This list also made everyone aware of the erudition of the young emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, in fact, the most terrifying thing was that the emperor actually pointed out the geographical location of these things, as if he knew it very well. When they left, the three of them were very unhappy, the emperor really told them the location of the gold mine, which also convinced that the emperor of the Celestial Empire would spread the news, and they had nothing to do about it, because they had no conditions to stop His Majesty of the Celestial Empire!

In the evening, Li Jiancheng also had dinner with these people, and talked about a lot of overseas things, Li Jiancheng mainly learned about the academic and scientific development of Europe from them, and in the process, Li Jiancheng even talked about some things that they had never heard of.

The three of them who can dine with the emperor also expressed their gratitude, and finally assured Li Jiancheng to complete the items in his list, but Li Jiancheng knew that these were not a day's work, whether it was animals or plants that were transported to him Li Jiancheng also needed to be cultivated, but it didn't matter, as long as the rubber arrived, it meant that he Li Jiancheng would jump into the country of thermal power, and he was no longer limited to water power, and Li Jiancheng was also full of expectations for the future.

The next night Li Jiancheng naturally spent the night in Ling Xue's suspicious eyes, Li Jiancheng told her mathematics, she was still listening to Arabic numerals, and sometimes asked. But when Li Jiancheng was funny and said some nonsense, Ling Xue didn't pay attention to him!

Early the next morning, today is also a big day in the Ming Dynasty, the highway outside Beijing is about to start the official construction, before the start of the first ribbon-cutting ceremony, although they do not understand this activity, but the emperor so requested, said that it is an auspicious picture. There is no way to do this, it is the first assistant of the imperial court who came to cut the ribbon, Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe has gained a great reputation since the last time he sought benevolence for the people of the world and gained a great reputation, Li Jiancheng is also satisfied with this person, anyway, he can't let the Donglin Party take the position, so he is also happy to see this, this time such a good thing Li Jiancheng let him go again.

Fang Congzhe naturally had no opinion on this matter, and in the face of such a good thing, he went away. This ceremony was also very beautiful, after all, this is a project funded by the emperor, and there are a lot of people and gentry around to watch. He said a few kind words, and after the people applauded, they began to cut the ribbon.

After the ribbon cutting ended, the official construction began, and when the construction officially began, many people were shocked, this time the construction was actually double-lined, not to mention that the people were also surprised by the emperor's handwriting!

The oppositionists who saw this scene had even more gloomy expressions, and after they nodded to each other, a message quietly flowed down the canal to the lower reaches of the canal! The road construction started smoothly, and there was no hindrance, which made Li Jiancheng very strange, so these ministers turned off the fire so quickly? Li Jiancheng is still waiting for them to make a move, but it doesn't matter who has been looking for something to draw, they don't look for trouble with him Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng is too late to be happy!

Li Jiancheng's busy days are then idle again, but in the past two days, in addition to repairing roads, there is also a happy event going on, that is, the show girls who came to the draft have begun to enter Beijing!

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty recruited show girls from all over the country, and it would take several months for all these girls to enter Kyoto, but those who were close to it were almost going to enter the palace to start screening! The draft of the Ming Dynasty is also very particular, and there are a total of eight levels that can be selected from the sea of people to be the queen!

The Ming Dynasty strictly controlled the power of the descendants, so most of the queens of the Ming Dynasty were small jasper, from the people, and they preferred to choose women from poor families, trying to assist the emperor in thrifty and diligent government.

The first step is the "audition". When the emperor was about to get married, the palace sent a large number of eunuchs to all over the country to select 5,000 girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, and then gathered together for a primary election.

The second step is the "primary selection". In this round of selection, the eunuchs will arrange a large venue, and line up every 100 girls selected from all over the world, sort them according to their age, and eliminate the girls who are too tall, short, fat and thin through visual inspection, and the elimination ratio is controlled at about one-fifth.

The third step is "careful selection". On the second day after the primary election, entering the third round of selection, the eunuchs still lined up according to the previous day's procession, carefully inspecting each person's facial features, hair, skin, timbre, and demeanor, and passed the items, and if any item did not meet the requirements, they were eliminated. This round will eliminate half of the remaining number.

The fourth step is "Pick". At this point, about 2,000 people will enter the fourth round of selection. This round no longer relies on visual inspection, but the eunuchs not only carefully measure the size of the girl's hands and feet with a ruler, but also examine the girl's posture and charm, etc., and eliminate the 1,000 girls in the bottom row. The other 1,000 beauties left behind will be summoned to the palace to continue to participate in the in-depth selection.

The fifth step is the "palace selection". Women who pass the first four levels can become palace maids, but whether they can become concubines still needs to be further observed and investigated. After they enter the palace, the palace specially arranges for the palace ladies who are engaged in "recruitment" work, and they will be introduced into the secret room to "probe their breasts, smell their armpits, touch their textures, and check their chastity", requiring that there are no scars on their bodies, and their skin is delicate and shiny, and then 300 more people will be recommended from the 1,000 people who pass the test and be promoted to the head of the palace maids.

The sixth step is "concubine selection". The emperor sent a special person to observe in detail for a month, and through the temperament and words of these 300 beauties who stayed in the palace, they judged whether their personalities were gentle and generous, and whether they were wise and virtuous. According to the performance and identification, another 250 people will be screened out, and the remaining 50 people will be automatically promoted to concubines.

The seventh step is "selection". The empress dowager or concubine was the chief examiner, and a group of people or they themselves took the idea to select three reserve candidates for the emperor to appoint the empress from 50 people, which was called "choose three" at that time.

The eighth step is the "King James Approval". It's this point. The emperor can personally appoint a queen according to the beauties recommended by him for the "choose three". Of course, the other two beauties who have entered the "selection three" link and are unsuccessful in the selection will generally not be treated badly, and they will be named concubines, but there are also precedents of being given gold and silver coins to return home.

The historical queen of the Apocalypse Zhang Yan became the queen after passing these eight levels, and she is known as one of the five queens in ancient China, and she is definitely a beauty.

Zhang Yan, a beauty, is also very legendary in history, that is, the Chongzhen she guaranteed was enthroned. She despised the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and Xizong's nurse, Fengsheng's wife, the Hak, who joined forces to do evil, and often mentioned the mistakes of the two in front of Xizong several times, and even disposed of the Hakka family as the queen, so Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka hated her to the core, but because Zhang Yan was the queen, it was different from other concubines who were generally easy to deal with. Later, after Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Zhang Yan also committed suicide by hanging the beam.

But now it's different, the Hakka family has been driven out of the palace by Li Jiancheng, Wei Zhongxian no longer exists because of Li Jiancheng's one-finger imperial order, Li Jinzhong himself was also sent by him Li Jiancheng to engage in intelligence work, and waiting for his husband is not the apocalypse in history, Zhang Yan's fate will naturally be different.

Zhang Yan, the word Zu'e, nickname Baozhu. According to history: Zhang Yan's face is like Guanyin, her eyes are like autumn waves, her mouth is like a cherry blossom, her nose is like a hanging gall, and her teeth are fine. ’

At this time, Zhang Yan had also come to the capital, and saw the road building project in progress: "Miss, Miss, you see, you are really building a road!" ”

At this time, one of Zhang Yan's maids in the carriage suddenly shouted, Zhang Yan's maid is called Xiaohuan, and she is a more lively girl at first glance, but Zhang Yan is with a very dignified and quiet girl, she is only 14 years old at this time, and she is only 15 years old. This age is only in junior high school in modern times, but she is getting married.

Zhang Yan opened her mouth and said to the little maid: "Don't move, the curtain is about to be pulled off by you, don't you already know that the road is going to be repaired?" It's so new! ”

Xiaohuan said: "That's different, Miss, knowing the way is the same as what you see!" Miss, look at that road, it's so strange, I really want to go up and step on it! ”

Xiaohuan pulled the curtain and watched over there, but Zhang Yan was everyone's best girl, and she was still a show girl who came to the draft, so she didn't dare to show her head like this. Just glanced at it a little, and Xiaohuan said again: "I heard that this road was repaired by the emperor at his own expense, and a few days ago we heard that the emperor said that girls are not allowed to bind their feet, the emperor is really a good person, and the young lady should not suffer a loss if she marries the emperor." It's just that I don't know what the emperor will look at the girl's feet, and I don't know if the emperor will look at the girl's feet! ”

This little girl's words are bold, but Zhang Yan is red-faced, ancient girls are actually more precocious than modern children, and they have a more thorough understanding of some situations. Zhang Yan said: "Phew, don't talk nonsense, look at what nonsense you are talking about, don't say it if you choose it or not, you still dare to talk nonsense about the emperor, what if someone hears it!" ”

Xiaohuan stuck out her tongue at Zhang Yan, and then said lightly: "Miss is so beautiful, she must be chosen!" ”

Xiaohuan said this, but Zhang Yan was really not very happy, in the face of such a thing, she was a 14-year-old girl, and she didn't know what kind of mood she was in.

At this time, Xiaohuan shouted again: "Miss, Miss, look, there are a lot of people around there, I don't know what's going on!" ”

Zhang Yan eased her mood when she heard the words and looked out, only to see that there were indeed many people outside, as the carriage approached Zhang Yan also saw what was going on inside, only to see that there were more than a dozen girls in this with their hands tied, their feet tied, and their mouths stuffed with cotton cloth kneeling on a high table, Zhang Yan looked at it and gasped, this is the capital, what is going on in front of the Son of Heaven?
