"Be a man? It's so easy! ”

Xu Zhiyuan smiled, tonight happened to play a friendly match with Hu Yan, the big deal is to let the poor last emperor experience the long-lost majesty.

"My request is very simple, pack some furniture from Prince Gong's Mansion and give me some, and I will cooperate for a long time in the future, and I will have your benefits."

Sending Pu Yi away, Xu Zhiyuan pondered for a while, entered the system again, and connected with one person, the most famous carpenter emperor in Chinese history - Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao!

"What is Aiqing looking for?"

Xu Zhiyuan looked at Zhu Youxiao, who was dressed as a carpenter, and sighed secretly: "The Ming Dynasty is really a strange dynasty!" ”

Later generations commented that Zhu Youxiao connived at the nursing mother Hakka during his reign, reused the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who was a good friend of the Hakka family, and allowed the two of them to behave indiscriminately, framing Zhongliang in the court, and poisoning the concubines in the harem, but Zhu Youxiao did not regulate it. Wei Zhongxian was full of party henchmen, rejecting dissidents, and especially regarded the Donglin party members as a thorn in his side, and he wanted to get rid of them.

And Xizong didn't realize that even the high-ranking official Yang Lian had been killed for many days, and he didn't know that he was dead. Xizong loves to do carpentry work and never gets tired of it. Wei Zhongxian began to act recklessly. The righteous men and gentlemen in the court are exhausted, the political darkness is extreme, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger, Xizong left such a mess to his younger brother Chongzhen, who succeeded to the throne. When he was dying, he did not forget to tell Emperor Chongzhen to reuse Wei Zhongxian, but Chongzhen, who was determined to revitalize, eradicated this great evil after three months.

He has several characteristics, the first is illiterate, and an emperor is illiterate, which is also a strange story. Zhu Youxiao is the grandson of Mingshenzong, because Shenzong only cared about his own pleasure when he was in power, and had no time to take care of the reading problem of the emperor's grandson, and he didn't like Zhu Changluo's son, Mingguangzong was a short-lived emperor, so when the 16-year-old Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, his education level was very low, and he could be called the "illiterate emperor".

Due to his lack of education, Zhu Youxiao issued orders and instructions, and could only make decisions by listening to and reading other people's drafts. Zhu Youxiao was unwilling to be at the mercy of others, and often did not know how to pretend to understand, and a piece of paper and half an edict were altered many times, often making the literature and science incomprehensible, and the people in the government and the opposition laughed at it.

Once, after the Jiangxi Fu army suppressed the rebellion, the last chapter reported the victory, and there was a sentence in the chapter "chasing the north", which originally meant that they ran around in order to quell the rebellion, and it was very hard. A eunuch named He Fei next to the emperor did not have much ink in his chest, and when he recited the chapter, he read "chasing the north" as "chasing the north". When explaining, "chasing" is said to be "chasing and fleeing", and "chasing" is said to be "chasing stolen goods". The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious when he heard this. Jiangxi Fujun not only did not receive a reward, but was punished by "depreciation".

The second is that he is ingenious and has a strong interest in making woodware, and he has to personally operate all carpentry work such as knives, saws, axes, chisels, and danqing lacquer. His hand-made lacquerware, beds, comb boxes, etc., are all decorated with colorful and exquisite designs, which are unexpected.

It is recorded in the history books that during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, the bed made by craftsmen was extremely bulky, and it took more than a dozen people to move, with many materials and a very ordinary style. Zhu Youxiao pondered by himself, designed the pattern, saw the nail board himself, and built a bed in more than a year, the bed board can be folded, it is very convenient to carry and move, and the bed frame is also carved with various patterns, which is beautiful and generous.

It is said that all the wooden utensils, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions he has seen can be made. All carpentry work such as knives, saws, axes, chisels, and danqing lacquer kneading, he has to operate them himself, and he never gets tired of it, and even forgets to sleep and eat.

The entertainment tools made by Zhu Youxiao are also quite exquisite. He filled the vat with water, covered the bucket with the water painting, drilled a hole under the tank, formed a water spray at the bottom of the barrel, and then placed many small wooden balls at the water spray place, opened and closed the infusion, the water hit the wooden balls, the wooden balls circled, and for a long time, Zhu Youxiao and the concubines watched and cheered together. Once he made a garden where people could walk, birds could sing, and water could flow.

He also likes to build houses, and likes to be clever, often after the house is built, he dances with joy, admires it repeatedly, and when the joy passes, he immediately destroys it, and rebuilds it in a new way, never getting bored. Zhu Youxiao once personally built a small palace in the courtyard, the form imitates the Qianqing Palace, no more than three or four feet high, but the twists and turns are subtle, small and exquisite, and ingenious. He also made an agarwood rockery, a pond and a forest pavilion, which was meticulously carved, which was a must-have at that time.

This is also why Xu Zhiyuan wants to contact him, Ming style furniture is a peak that cannot be surpassed in China, in addition to porcelain, Ming style furniture is also sought after by large collectors all over the world, Ming style furniture has a complete range of categories, a large number, which has a difference between thickness and fineness, and the difference between literature and field. However, when examined as a piece of furniture of the era, a common feature is that great attention is paid to the use of function. Through the measurement of a large number of physical objects handed down, it can be seen that the dimensions of various Ming-style furniture, from today's design point of view, many are ergonomic masterpieces.

"Since you like carpenters, I have a lot of KitKat tools here that will surely blow your mind!"

For how to meet Zhu Youxiao, Xu Zhiyuan has long had an idea, the current power tools are too advanced, just take out one is enough for him to study for several years, from his hands for Ming-style furniture, one is enough age, the other is that now Huanghuali wood is too scarce, and it is difficult to find some big materials that can make furniture.

In the past, it was said that one or two pieces of wood and one or two gold, but now it has become one or two yellow pears and ten taels of gold! The best Hainan Huanghua pear, at least 20,000 or 30,000 per kilogram, don't even think about 350 million a ton. More often than not, you can't buy good materials with money, which is the main reason why furniture is getting more and more expensive.

"Really?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up after hearing this, he had no other hobbies in this life, he was not even very interested in women, he ignored the government all day long, and indulged in his carpenter career, which was very happy. Now I heard that there are fun treasures, so I am naturally very interested.

Xu Zhiyuan went out to take Zhu Youxiao to visit, the magical buildings on the street made him linger, and then went to the furniture factory to take a turn, shocking the emperor and saying that he didn't want to leave.

Xu Zhiyuan directly scanned the factory into the system and let the emperor play by himself, but he had to exchange good furniture for it, Zhu Youxiao didn't say a word, and took out ten pieces of the palace imperial system that he personally processed at a time, which made Xu Zhiyuan very satisfied.
