Many vassal kings in the palace have nodded secretly, Zhu Houwei is right, the royal family has never lacked talents, but because of the system, even talents have no chance to display their ambitions, so they will only slowly become gentlemen.

Reading and becoming a scholar, for the direct children of the royal family, there may still be some self-surrender status, but what teenager has not dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, and has not imagined that he will one day be able to guide the country in the political arena.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't have a chance.

And you can be an official, of course, now the Ming Dynasty itself can be an official, but if you want to be an official, you need to be selected in the Ministry of Literature and Selection, only if the relationship is hard enough or the non-commissioned officer is not enough, there is a chance.

But the meaning of Zhu Houwei's words just now couldn't be clearer, that is, as long as the descendants of the Zhu family can be admitted to the examination, they can immediately arrange for officials to do it, and there is no need to wait for selection in the Ministry of Officials.

This is already considered a grace, of course, the kings also take it for granted, after all, they are the descendants of the Zhu family, who dares to say a word about special treatment?

As for the seven elders of the cabinet, they didn't say anything, in fact, there are many things, Zhu Houwei will first convene the cabinet to discuss, and only after the results are reached and a consensus is reached, will he go through a set of procedures, which in itself is also conducive to the implementation of government affairs, and will not be refuted during the court meeting, otherwise it will not only hurt the emperor's face, but also easily fall into endless bargaining.

The Seven Elders represent the officials all over the world, and they are also the people who are recognized by the officials of the world as charging into battle when they compete with the emperor.

Almost all the officials in the world are scholars from the imperial examination, and the scholars are from Confucianism, that is to say, Confucianism controls the right to speak in the world, they fight with the emperor, with the eunuchs, with the generals, and naturally with the nobles.

The vassal king is the greatest nobleman in the world, and he is really an enemy, allowing the enemy to infiltrate the court?

This will certainly not be acceptable to Confucian officials, but the reason why the Seven Elders did not object is because of Confucianism!

There is a premise for princes and grandsons to be judges, and the premise is the imperial examination, but if you want to take the road of imperial examination, you have to study the sage book hard, and if you read the sage book, you will naturally be a famous disciple.

Since they are famous and serious people, why should they stop them?

As for the royal family's descendants, it is not a matter that they can become officials, after all, they are all dragons and grandchildren, and it is not a big deal to give preferential treatment.

"The descendants of the Zhu family are studying and becoming a scholar, if anyone wants to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, they can go to the army, but they can take it from the horse, as long as they have enough military merits, what is the difficulty of sealing the marquis and the duke, and the title that they have fought with their own hands is not more important than the so-called Zhenguo general and auxiliary general left by their ancestors to their descendants......

The kings are about to vomit......

In fact, the kings have long understood the degree of shamelessness when today's sons, this is nonsense, think about it, an emperor who can use despicable and dirty means to deceive them to the capital, and an emperor who can sell the palace costing thousands of taels of silver to them hundreds of thousands of taels, what is the lower limit of doing things?

The title that you spelled for yourself is more weighty, which means that the ancestors gave it is not worth mentioning, so why do you have the face to sit on the throne, and isn't his seat passed down by the ancestors?

No, your position is from the unreliable Zhengde, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the ancestors......

The kings slandered, but Zhu Houwei didn't have a trace of shame, and said directly: "From the civil and martial arts, all by the kings, this point was mentioned when I was in this Qianqing Palace, I thought that the kings would come to find me, but the kings complained deeply about me."

To this day, no prince has ever come to me, so I simply said it today, and the kings are willing to listen to it, but I just told the kings that not only will I not stop it, but I am happy to see it happen.

I have summoned the kings today, not specifically to talk about this matter, but to give them a rich ......."

No one believed that......

"I plan to build ten large iron factories in the world, and I also plan to build a large shipyard in Tianjin Wei to build warships, but I don't have the energy to do it, so I plan to hand it over to the kings."

King Qin, who had the deepest resentment against Zhu Houwei, said: "This is the wealth that the emperor gave to the kings?"

A sneer suddenly sounded in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houwei's mind was really vicious, he accepted their feudal country, robbed the kings' land, and extorted hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and now he still wants the kings to build him an iron mill and a shipyard, what do you think, how can he have the face to say this?

"King Qin didn't understand what I meant." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "I don't let the kings pay for the money to build it themselves, but I give you the silver to build it, let's put it this way, assuming that it costs one million taels of silver to build a big iron factory, I will offer a price of one hundred and twenty three hundred thousand taels, and the kings will bid for it."

How to tender? For example, King Qin bids 1.25 million taels, King Shu bids 1.2 million taels, and King Yiwang thinks that 1.1 million taels is okay, so when there is no one who has a lower bid than Yiwang, it is Yiwang who wins the bid.

After Yiwang wins the bid, he can go to the place where I demarcated the big iron factory to build the factory to recruit craftsmen and laborers to start work, and build the big iron factory in strict accordance with the requirements given by me, as long as the requirements are met, then even if it only uses 500,000 taels, then Yiwang can earn 600,000 taels......"

And such a good thing? The kings couldn't believe that building a big iron factory could make hundreds of thousands of taels of profits, so the kings didn't have to go crazy?

Zhu Houwei won't dig another pit and wait for the kings to jump.

Anyway, once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and the kings were pitted by Zhu Houwei too miserably, and his trust in the emperor has fallen to the bottom......

"What if I lose?" King Qin continued to ask.

Zhu Houwei said: "There is no businessman in the world who is willing to do loss-making business, and I also hope to do something at the lowest cost, so whether I lose or make money, in the end it depends on the kings themselves."

What I said earlier is just an assumption, in fact, I will not give a bottom standard, I will only tell the kings how to build and the standard of construction, and the kings can study it themselves, or they can ask someone from the Ministry of Works.

At that time, we will hold a bidding meeting, and you only need to submit the bid, so who will win the bid in the end will naturally be visible at a glance. ”

Now the kings roughly understand, to put it bluntly, Zhu Houwei doesn't care about anything else, he only looks at the results, as for whether the kings will lose, it is not within his consideration at all.

In this way, the kings can also contact privately, and finally come up with a high price to bid, and if the price is high, even if a few families share the profits, it is a considerable wealth.

But scheming princes such as King Qin and King De know very well that the possibility of the kings really joining forces is too low......

Because everyone has selfish intentions, and vassal kings are no exception!
