On the first sunset in the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong sat in the courtyard, wrapped in a thick leather jacket, looking up at the increasingly clear starry sky in the sky. In this era when there are still more than 100 years before the industrial shijie, the starry sky is so bright and deep. Only such a starry sky can make human beings realize their own insignificance and thus have some awe.

If he could, Zhu Cihong hoped that in addition to saving Daming, he would also save Shijie by the way.

With this thought, Zhu Cihong himself laughed.

Perhaps due to the influence of hormones, Zhu Cihong found that his originally precise and efficient mind often had some naïve and romantic thoughts. In fact, he knew very well that this shijie had never been a savior. It's good that people can save themselves, and the vast majority of people are waiting to be saved.

And in the end, all they reaped was disappointment.

"Master, why are you sitting here?" Lu Suyao walked into the courtyard with a dragonfly-shaped noise on her head, and saw Zhu Cihong sitting alone in the courtyard, almost out of her mind.

"I want to be alone for a while." Zhu Cihong said.

"Master, it's still cold this day." Lu Suyao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "No matter what, I have to change a pair of fur boots for you." ”

Zhu Cihong stood up unhappily, walked to the house, and said as he walked: "You can't drink on duty, don't you know?" ”

"The slave knows it's wrong." Lu Suyao's knees weakened, kneeling on the ground, tears had fallen.

Lu Suyao endured a day's tears, and finally couldn't help falling. She hurriedly lowered her head, for fear of committing a taboo. In any case, crying for the New Year is very unlucky.

"Have you been wronged?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"No ......" Lu Suyao instinctively wanted to deny it, but she didn't know Weishenme, and she had a strong unwillingness in her heart. Today, Liu Gong is calling the slaves and maids to teach a good life, but the slaves and maids didn't even find out that His Royal Highness's court clothes are small. His Royal Highness lost his honor before the saint. Lu Suyao said with a crying voice.

- I deal with the work assigned by the prince all the time every day, and even when the menstrual period comes, I have to stay up late and get up early! Why do you scold me for nothing just because of one mistake? It's like I'm just eating and not doing.

Lu Suyao was very resentful in her heart, but she couldn't say these words, at least she couldn't reveal them to anyone before she became the head of the harem female officials.

"Your work is already heavy, and you shouldn't be in charge of such small things." Zhu Cihong said, "Moreover, don't be too yourself, learn to relax, some people's words may not need to be taken to heart." ”

"Huh?" Lu Suyao raised her head suddenly. She didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to say that.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have said such thoughtful words!

It is true that His Highness has always been kind and pleasant to people, and even more generous to his subordinates, but this Highness never seems to understand the thoughts of others, and he does not disdain to understand...... He was like an immortal standing on top of a high mountain. Looking at the strife in the world, the most I can say is: ignorance. …… And then still let Shijie run according to his will.

If the Ming Emperor is the most powerful person in the world, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the one who can really use this power for himself.

And now. The crown prince would say such heart-warming words!

Lu Suyao only felt that her body was fluttering. All the grievances turned into smoke and disappeared.

"Don't kneel, rest early, sort out the materials of the technical college tomorrow morning, and hand them over to me in the afternoon." Get ready and go to Laizhou the day after tomorrow. Oh. Yes, go and ask King Dongyuan, if he is interested in the technical college, just ask him to go and see it together. I think he seems to have a lot of ideas about mathematics. Zhu Cihong said.

"I understand." Lu Suyao, who had been healed, hurriedly stood up from the cold ground. Restored to his side as an acolyte. She felt very guilty about her youngest daughter just now, and felt that she had failed to live up to the trust and teachings of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

- Hopefully there will never be a next time!

Lu Suyao secretly pinched her palm and kept it firmly in her mind.

"To learn to relax, you should take the necessary vacations." Zhu Cihong continued to walk towards the house: "Occasional indulgence is not a sin. Don't let people say that I use female officers like men. ”

"I understand." Lu Suyao said.

Zhu Cihong turned around and smiled lovingly: "I won't call you tonight, just sleep well, just come to the office at the end of the day." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Suyao said happily in her mouth, but she had already secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must not indulge her weakness. This time the Chinese New Year adds up to a day off, how can I go to work half an hour later tomorrow? And the materials of the technical college this time ...... It's still a bit much.

Thinking of this, Lu Suyao also woke up, quite afraid that she would not be able to complete the task on time tomorrow, and if she looked at the time, it was not too late. She immediately remembered that she hadn't studied "Physics" and "Mathematics" according to Jihua for the past two days, and her guilt and remorse became stronger, and her steps were much faster.

……

"We have the emperor's grace and the heavy responsibility of calculating wealth, so how can we indulge in pleasure!" Yao Tao stood in the brightly lit household office, pacing around, under the spur of her words and the spur of her gaze, these accountants buried their heads in hard work, carefully calculating all kinds of data, and the sound of dialing the plan came and went.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and as the only department in the six departments to work, these accountants' minds are naturally a little drifting, and some people even say strange things, complaining that the people of the heavenly family are too mean. It is precisely because of this that Yao Tao feels the need to beat everyone up when they are working to lift their spirits.

"Those soldiers who fended off the thieves and thieves did not have a holiday! Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not relax because of the Chinese New Year! Yao Tao's voice echoed faintly in the three-room office.

No one could refute her words, because the work tasks that were constantly being thrown down today were proof that the crown prince himself was working hard.

"His Royal Highness has commended our ministry in front of the queen mother today, how can we live up to the love of His Royal Highness the crown prince? If someone has any thoughts that they shouldn't have, they can report it themselves, and you are really the only one in the world who can plan it! Yao Tao's gaze fell on the two male principals.

As if pricked by a needle, their hands trembled and their heads were lowered.

Today, in front of the queen's mother, Zhu Cihong did give the female officials of the household department a big face. not only praised them for their hard work and outstanding ability, but also asked the queen to pick a few female officials and perform mental arithmetic on the spot. After a long line of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, these female officials were able to blurt out the final result, which amazed them on the spot.

This is the abacus that has been played thousands of times, and there is already an abacus in my heart that does not need to be dialed.

There are also such people among male accountants, but the proportion is not as high as that of female officials. According to Zhu Cihong's analysis, it should be the difference in the degree of dedication to work. Female officials can get out of the deep palace and be reused, and their sense of responsibility and honor will be stronger than that of male officials who have been robbed of the limelight. This is also what Yao Tao observes on weekdays, and when she heard the crown prince say this, she was even more convinced, so she decided to be strict with the male officials, and she must not let them drag the entire household back.

……

Zhu Cihong returned to the bedroom, the incense had been smoked in the room, and the bedding had been warmed with a soup woman.

The entire room is lit by dozens of candles. In order to protect his eyes, Zhu Cihong will not reduce the amount of candles even if he is frugal. This is also something that cannot be helped, who made this era without kerosene lamps?

It is not impossible to produce kerosene, but it requires a large amount of crude oil for experimental fractionation, and the only oil well that can be extracted in China is now in Shaanxi.

Thinking that Shaanxi had fallen into the hands of the Qing army, Zhu Cihong originally planned to relax, and the idea of resting early was shattered. He walked slowly to Huang Huali's desk, his fingers swiped over the stacks of books, and finally landed on a book that was almost dusted: "The Supplementary Regulations of the Great Ming Law Collection".

To change a society, it is impossible to make a breakthrough by just one point. Economy, culture, and law are indispensable as the troika of social change. Although the law is in a dominant position, its sharpness is eye-catching.

Zhu Cihong also had a law degree in his previous life, and he thought that revising the "Daming Law" was a handy thing, but after he really integrated into the Daming society, he found that his ideas were still too naïve, and the time was far from ripe. (To be continued......)
