Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but say to Li Ruolian: "I give you wealth, not just for you to improve your family business, do you know?" Jinyiwei and the twenty-four prisons of the Ming Dynasty in Dongchang are the institutions of the inner court, and the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty is mine, and you, as my private individuals, should be more concerned about the Jiangshan Sheji than the civil and military officials of the foreign courts. ”

Li Ruolian didn't expect that participating in the benefits of salt merchants would have something to do with Jiangshan Sheji, as a martial artist, he naturally didn't think about it, although he didn't need Zhu Youzhen to say, he also knew that his kind of person was indeed the emperor's private person, if Daming was gone, his Li family's wealth would be gone, if Daming was there, he would naturally still be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the scenery was infinite.

"Please make it clear to the emperor", Li Ruolian changed his title and commensurate him with the difference between master and servant, which can be regarded as an indication of an attitude.

"For example, the diorama and the Western clock in front of this hall are not the products of my Ming Dynasty, but they are the needs of the people, and sometimes there are telescopes that are a sharp weapon for observing the enemy's situation, but these are all because they are produced by the outside world, the price is expensive and not to mention, once it is damaged, it cannot be repaired by a suitable craftsman, if you spend your wealth on this, encourage my craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to develop this thing, reduce its price by half, and increase its production, wouldn't it benefit the country and the people, and your Li family can also get more wealth?"

After Zhu Youzhen pointed to the diorama and Western clock in the main hall of the River Governor's Office, he taught Li Ruolian that once these Western clocks and dioramas were mastered by the Ming Dynasty, their manufacturing technology would be beneficial to the country and the wealth prospects of his Li family.

"Thank you for your majesty's guidance, please rest assured, your majesty will definitely be able to use the wealth given by your majesty to do this good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!" Li Ruolian hurriedly saluted Zhu Youzhen.

Li Ruolian has been with Zhu Youzhen for a long time, and has also known many officials and envoys inside and outside the court, and he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and everyone is happy to be close to him, so Zhu Youzhen asked Li Ruolian to use the first original capital he gave him to enter the machinery manufacturing industry.

What's more, Li Ruolian, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, will always be by his side, and he can directly mention one or two.

As an emperor, he naturally does not have much time to do the development of a specific type of industry and the invention of a tool of great significance, he can only sow seeds and guide, and the power of the emperor to guide the capital controllers and power controllers of this era to go on the road of industrial development.

Although Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Tongzhi and Xu Wenjue, are just bureaucrats who are familiar with the rules of officialdom, and they are not proficient in social sciences, let alone natural sciences that are not valued by the world in the Ming Dynasty, but as a ruling class, they have capital, power, social relations and resources, and it is much more convenient for them to take the initiative to develop natural sciences and industrial production than for the common people to develop, after all, they can go to the staff at a high price to invite staff, craftsmen, and even Western missionaries.

As everyone knows, the scientific giants of the Western Renaissance also began to work as consultants in the families of various dukes.

Because of the needs of the rulers, a large number of people who are enthusiastic about the cause of science have appeared, and even professionals who have directly studied natural sciences.

It is definitely better to let non-civilian officials like Li Ruolian and Xu Wenjue take charge of this matter than to let civil officials do such things, after all, most of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were Confucian believers, and they were obsessed with maintaining the order of imperial etiquette and encouraging miscellaneous learning, which naturally made them feel that this was challenging their Confucian orthodoxy.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not say this to Gao Hongtu.

When night fell, Zhu Youzhen was also a little tired after a day of shopping in Yangzhou City, and after ordering Li Ruolian to retreat, Zhu Youzhen entered the inner courtyard.

At this time, Li Xiangjun stood solemnly outside the door of the warm pavilion, and as soon as Zhu Youzhen came in, he personally took off the cloak behind Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the concubine has the courage to ask, can you let the two compilers brought by the minister come to serve in front of the palace, so as to listen to the holy teachings and listen to Your Majesty's teaching of the way to open the wisdom of the people." ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile slightly, that is, in Yangzhou, far away from the harem and the control of hundreds of officials, he could naturally be more casual.

I heard that Li Xiangjun took the initiative to ask Bian Yujing and Liu Ru to come to the palace to serve.

Zhu Youzhen naturally understood that it must be because he played Li Xiangjun too much in the morning, making it unbearable, and Zhu Youzhen did not deliberately stay away from the beauty to prove that he was a virtuous king, so he naturally agreed to Li Xiangjun's suggestion, and went to announce the meeting with the eunuch, and he couldn't help but take Li Xiangjun into his arms and sit on the soft collapse: "I still like the way when I meet you for the first time, you wear a white dress, the fairy robe is fluttering, small and exquisite." ”

Li Xiangjun's ears were red with shame, and she smiled shyly: "It is a blessing for a concubine to be appreciated by His Majesty." ”

"Needless to say, I want your body today, not because I have a momentary interest, but I have already admired you, but I am the king of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to give you the warmth and affection like Hou Fangyu, and I hope that Li Junwu is too affectionate, leaving you here tonight, it is not that I just want to go to Wushan with you again, but indeed as you said, I have to teach you to open the way of people's wisdom, you used to be Qinhuai figures, up to the princes and nobles, down to the people of Li, you also understand, and also literate and hyphenation, brilliant writing, with you in Guangming Daily, I can be trusted. ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, he patted Li Xiangjun's fragrant skin: "Go get me something to eat, let's go to the gazebo to sit and chat, where is it cool, and the bright moon hangs high, it is the best place to go on a summer night." ”

"The concubine obeys!"

Li Xiangjun hurriedly got up, took some pastries and fruits with the help of the eunuch, and went to the pavilion first.

And Zhu Youzhen stood under the moon, looking at the courtyard covered with green bamboos, and the beauty in the pavilion, he couldn't help but look happy, maybe this is the difference between the emperor and ordinary people, although the responsibility is greater, more busy than ordinary people, but the power enjoyed is indeed very comparable, Rao is Li Xiangjun Qin Huai famous prostitute in front of him, can only become docile and lovely, and he does not have to work hard, to use poetry and poetry to impress.

Liu Rushi and Bian Yujing came over at this time, and they both saluted Zhu Youzhen: "I've seen Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Youzhen walked over with a smile, seeing that Bian Yujing was still shyly and smiling, and Liu Ru is expression was indifferent, so he walked in front of Liu Ru is and wanted to hold Liu Ru yes' soft hand, Liu Ru instinctively wanted to dodge, but was still caught by Zhu Youzhen in his hand, and put it between his lips and touched it gently, which made Bian Yujing on the side can't help but pout, mistakenly thinking that His Majesty likes Liu Ru more and has no interest in himself.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen suddenly threw away Liu Ruyi, but hugged Bian Yujing, who had a snowy skin and moon appearance, into his arms and walked towards the pavilion: "It's better for you to be interesting!" ”
