Xia Yuanji was cute when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times sincerely, "The minister is here to thank His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" ”

"Hahaha, Lao Xia, don't think I'm joking, let me tell you, when the rubber factory is built next year, do you say you can collect a lot of taxes from me? Also, in the future, if you save some money, the household department will invest in a railway for me, and if nothing else, you will go from Beijing to Yingtianfu, how much silver can you earn in a year? Also, the thermal power plant I am going to build, Lao Xia, should the household department invest? It's a sure-fire business! ”

There are also others, Zhu Gaoxian did not say, as far as these students he collected, which one did not pay taxes to the Ministry of Households? In the future, it will not be possible for the attached primary school he opened to accept only the poor all the time.

Zhu Gaoxian said this, Xia Yuanji was stunned when he heard it, he seemed to see the silver of the white flower smashing towards him, and stunned him at once.

Zhu Gaoxian yawned, "Lao Xia, the affairs of the textile factory, I will now hand over the affairs of the textile factory to Shen Chunhong to take care of, as well as the affairs of the bicycle factory, if the household department is a shareholder, I will let you buy a part of the shares for my father's sake, and you will also discuss with Shen Chunhong, and turn back to the thermal ......power plant."

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxian said to his father, "Dad, do you remember what I told you before?" In terms of coal mines, the south is poor and the north is rich, I will build a simple thermal power plant in Yingtianfu for the time being, and then pull a wire into the palace, so that you and your mother can illuminate it with electric lights, but this matter of moving the capital, you have to go to your heart. “

Moving the capital? What to move the capital? Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxian was sleepy, yawned and tears came out, "Dad, my son fell asleep and was sleepy!" ”

So saying, he staggered to the inner sanctum.

Zhu Di waited for his son to go out and beckoned to Xia Yuanji, "Old Xia, I am forty-one this year, and when I turn the New Year, I will be forty-two, and this matter of the prince cannot be ignored." ”

Xia Yuanji's brain was a little unable to catch up, and he didn't have time to ask about the relocation of the capital, but the emperor talked about the prince again, and said, the prince is also a big deal!

Xia Yuanji's mouth was like a dead mussel shell, squeezing tightly, for fear that one would be accidentally pried open by Zhu Di.

In the eyes of the military generals, the matter of the prince is very clear. The prince of Yan in the past, and the prince of today, both in terms of name and etiquette, occupy a great righteousness.

The eldest son, the son canonized by Emperor Taizu, should also become the prince as a matter of course.

It has been half a year since the emperor ascended the throne, and none of the civil and military generals proposed that the crown prince should be canonized, and the reason and attitude were actually very obvious, and they did not want to make the prince the crown prince.

Compared with the four princes, what advantage does the eldest prince have?

In the defense of Beijing that year, the four princes guarded Beiping City, and the four princes were responsible for all affairs. The firearms made by the four princes played a vital role in the Battle of Jingjing, and to this day, these firearms are equipped with the emperor's personal guards, and each of them is terrifying.

The textile machine made by the four princes, its efficiency is higher than the traditional spinning wheel and loom, the efficiency is not known how many times, and now in this rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many people have taken silver money to sharpen their heads, and they want one but can't get it.

There is also a sewing machine, after Xia Yuanji saw it, he was simply amazed, he couldn't figure out what kind of brain could have such a whimsical idea to design such a machine.

It is said outside that this sewing machine was given to the queen by the four princes, and he saw the queen sewing clothes with a needle and a thread, and he felt sorry for the queen to make such a device.

Bicycles, rubber soles and the like don't need to be said, just say today, a few words, explain the Jiaozi and banknotes clearly, the credibility of the reserves, a few words let the emperor know in his heart.

The four princes are only fourteen years old, and the "genius of the sky" is not enough to describe the ability of the four princes.

Xia Yuanji didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he didn't want to speak, if the emperor asked him to take the lead in asking for the crown prince, what kind of reason would he have to ask for the title of the fourth prince instead of the eldest prince?

Xia Yuanji suddenly thought that it was time to prepare for this matter, at least to probe other people's tone, don't be the first to ask for the title of the eldest prince, and the fourth prince is very passive.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Xia Yuanji had already turned hundreds of thoughts in his heart, as soon as he looked up, he saw that Zhu Di was still staring at him, Xia Yuanji thought for a while, "Your Majesty, you are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and you have just ascended the throne, and there are many things in the court right now. ”

As soon as Zhu Di heard it, he understood, he was actually not in a hurry at all, the fourth said that he had sat on the throne for forty years in history, nine years longer than Emperor Taizu, and the years could be said to be long enough, he didn't expect that he could live to be more than eighty years old, what was he anxious about?

He had to test the tone of the ministers to see what they thought.

Zhu Di is not worried about the generals, if you ask Zhang Yu about their wishes, there is no doubt that Zhu Gaoxian is the best prince in their minds, but what about the ministers?

After all, what Zhu Gaoxian is doing now is to harm the interests of the officials and gentry.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuanji would say such a thing, and Zhu Di was relieved.

Zhu Gaoxian slept in a daze, half-asleep and half-awake, he felt that his father had come, and said to him, "Son, this country, Dad will sit for you first, and Dad will promise you to sit for you for a few more years." ”

He thought to himself, well, sit for a few more years!

Early the next morning, Zhu Di went to the court and did not call his son.

After the court meeting, Zhu Di instructed the officials to go through the aisle procedures, so that Fang Xiaoru could be reinstated and appointed as a bachelor, but he was going to teach at the primary school attached to the Ming Imperial Academy run by Zhu Gaoxian.

Fang Xiaoru received the appointment of the ministry, holding the edict in both hands, so excited that two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, he fell to the ground on both knees, and shouted long live thanksgiving.

Behind him, his wife Zheng felt that she had come back to life from this moment, and their family had picked up a life, so they didn't have to die in the future.

Zhu Gaoxian slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, Zhu'er came in to serve him and dressed, after washing, Zhu Gaoxian waited for his father to come back and have breakfast, at this time, Zhu Gaoxian ordered someone to call Li Qian over.

Li Qian is not suitable to live with him now, so he asked Zhu Wu to take him and live outside the palace.

"Fourth Master!" Li Qian was born with a tiger's head, Zhu Gaoxian raised his hand and rubbed his head, "You are also old, you can't always play like this, from tomorrow, you will live in the Daming Imperial Academy, I will open an attached primary school over there, and you will study." ”

Li Qian's eyes widened suddenly, "Fourth master, can my subordinates also study?" ”

"Of course you can, if you don't study, how will you run an errand for me in the future? If you don't know a single big word, if you break the master's business, you won't be able to get it back if you sell it. ”

"What about Sister Zhu'er?"

Zhu Gaoxian looked at Zhu'er, and saw that Zhu'er lowered his head, and his two earlobes were so red that they were about to drip blood, he smiled, "Zhu'er, you also go to the Ming Imperial Academy, I may have to live there for a long time in the future, and you will also move over." ”

"Yes!" Zhu'er was so happy that she was about to jump up, she blessed her body, turned around and helped Zhu Gaoxian pack her things.

Zhu Gaochu was having trouble sleeping, he went to Guo Ying's house several times, the first two times, Guo Ying was still very warm to him, personally entertained, Zhu Gaoxu knocked on the side and wanted to inquire about his eldest granddaughter, maybe Guo Ying saw through his mind, and then went again, Guo Ying gave him a closed door.

The attendant Wang Bin came up with an idea on the side, "Second Highness, Fourth Highness has always been smart, why don't you go and ask Fourth Highness to help you come up with an idea?" ”

"What do you mean? You mean, my brain is not good? Zhu Gaoxu pointed to his head angrily and asked very unceremoniously.

Wang Bin was very embarrassed, and said in his heart, you have a good brain, you can't do this thing, you fancy one in front of you, let people cut off your beard halfway, and this time you fancy another one, aren't you afraid that people will cut off your beard halfway?

If he is cut off again this time, Wang Bin is worried that His Royal Highness the Second Prince will kill people with a knife.

Zhu Gaoxu circled around the room, turned around for a while, and was impatient Wang Bin dangling in front of his eyes, and drove him away, "Get out, you let me be alone for a while." ”

Wang Bin couldn't ask for it.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around for a while, and he had to admit that he really didn't have the best of the fourth brother, so he simply went out, led a horse, and ran towards the Ming Imperial Academy.

On the way, Zhu Gaochu met two brothers and sisters from Yunnan, and after knowing each other's identities, they became familiar with each other.

"What are you going to do?"

Mu Bin said, "I heard that the Ming Imperial Academy is recruiting students in the spring, I plan to sign up, Second Highness, what about you?" ”

"I have something to find the fourth brother, let's go, let's go together!"

In a western flower hall of the Ming Imperial Academy, Zhu Gaoxian asked people to make several shelves, which were covered with a huge wooden board, and each student held a long ruler, triangle board and pencil in his hand, and was drawing.

Speaking of pencils, it is another business deal, but these pencils are all made by Zhu Gaoxian and the students of the Ming Imperial Academy, and there is no adhesive at the moment, so he has to use the traditional adhesive used in carpentry to deal with it first.

Speaking of mechanical drawing, Zhu Gaoxian is an expert, he divided the thermal power plant into several parts, first the coal supply system, he pointed to the blackboard with a whip, "I hope you will erect a concept in the future, that is, try to reduce the labor intensity of workers through some devices." ”

"You said that here, the hopper of the feeding is so high, if you let the workers move it, it is indeed possible, but have you thought about it, one is that the coal is highly polluting, and the other is that the intensity is too great, and the physical harm to the workers is great, what institutions can be used here? Can anyone say? ”

"Fourth brother!"

Before Zhu Gaoxian's words fell, someone shouted outside, and Zhu Gaoxian turned his head to see that his second brother who was like a debt collector came again.
