Chapter 405: If only Timur had called
Zhu Di's face sank like water, even if he admonished, today is not a good day.
Xia Yuanji and Song Li had no choice but to say goodbye and come out of the palace, and when they walked on the road, they still saw trucks carrying carts of belongings and driving towards the palace.
They were full of doubts, which country's inner treasury did the Fourth Highness pick up to get so many treasures?
Just then, they saw Azazuri.
Since Aza has entered Beijing, as the commander of the capital, he will definitely enter the palace to greet the emperor.
Seeing Xia Yuanji and Song Li, thinking that he and Duoyan Sanwei still had a lot to rely on these two powerful ministers, he hurriedly dismounted and saluted the two, "Lord Xia, Lord Song, are the two of you coming out of the palace?" ”
Xia Yuanji and Song Li happened to have something to ask Aza Li, so they were extremely attentive, Song Li pulled Aza Li, "What a coincidence, the emperor in the palace is about to have dinner at this time, and Lao Xia and I came out of the palace and were also hungry, so it is better for us to use some here at will, and we will not let the commander enter the palace hungry." ”
"Lord Song, this is a good idea, it just so happens that I am also hungry, and the commander doesn't mind accompanying the two of us old men to dinner, right?"
"This ...... It should be me who invites two adults, the second child, to a private room! "Aza Lost Li just made a lot of money, Duoyan Sanwei now has 16,800 people with armor, two million taels of silver, and each of them has a share of 120 taels, which is just a small head.
Azazuri's pockets were bulging, and the coins came in handy.
Originally, Song Li first said that he wanted to invite Aza Lili to dinner, and Aza Lili rushed to pay, what is this?
He insisted on it, and was pulled by Xia Yuanji, "The commander has made a lot of money, and I want to invite you and me to have a good meal, Lao Song, why don't you do it?" ”
Song Li understood, "Ah", and asked, "Commander Du, where did you follow the Four Highnesses to knock a large bamboo pole back?" ”
Aza knew that Duoyan Sanwei became a mercenary, and he couldn't hide it from these ministers in the court, and he didn't want to upset the ministers, so he confessed very frankly, "I just earned some silver taels, which is not a bamboo pole." ”
When the wine and food came up, Aza lost Li poured wine for Song Li and Xia Yuanji, and on the other hand, he said everything that could be said about Timur.
"Are you saying that His Highness went to Timur and turned Timur, who was originally stable in the country, upside down, and now the country is divided into two, facing east and west, and there is war and strife?" Natsuhara asked in shock.
Aza said in his heart, sure enough, these ministers are very powerful, and in a few words, he summed up all his words in such a good place, nodded and said, "As Lord Xia said, it is true." ”
Xia Yuanji and Song Li both gasped, if it weren't for the humility and orderliness, if the person who stirred up the storm was not His Royal Highness, he really wanted to scold a "scourge", a good country actually stirred up the sky for him, and from now on, it will be difficult for the common people to live a comfortable day.
"So, did Your Highness let the other party spend 20 million taels of silver for you to help recover the capital?" Xia Yuanji suddenly understood the origin of those boxes, "Did you ransack the capital?" ”
Aza was a little embarrassed and explained, "Lord Xia, Lord Song, the two of them are Wenchen, they have never been on the battlefield, so they must not understand our approach, but what is the purpose of being a soldier in a war?" His Royal Highness traveled thousands of miles to Timur with a noble body, for what? If you return empty-handed, why bother? ”

[Daming: I, Zhu Di's fourth son] 【】
Xia Yuanji and Song Li glanced at each other, the two understood each other's eyes, and they both felt that the truth was right, but it was too much to get back?
Aza Shuli didn't know what the two ministers were thinking, and said to himself, "Timur is a big country west of my Ming Dynasty, and I heard that if it weren't for the early death of their boss Khan, two years ago, Timur would have personally led 100,000 troops to attack my Ming Dynasty. It was only on the way that Timur died, and his children and grandchildren were busy competing for the throne of the Great Khan, so they stopped thinking about it. ”
Xia Yuanji and Song Li's minds were really pulled to this, Xia Yuanji asked, "What kind of country is the Timurid Khanate, why do you still want to attack my Daming?" ”
"Timur, it's about the same as the former Great Yuan!" Aza Lost thought for a moment and shook his head, "If only they could have fought in the first place, then I would have a battle to fight." ”
That's not going to go together.
Song Li changed the topic in time, and talked about the future development direction of Duoyan Sanwei, which was a topic that Aza was very concerned about, and he also hurriedly listened to the opinions of the two adults.
Zhu Di's inner treasury was also small, and it couldn't hold so many treasures, and the next day, the inner prison yamen tried to expand the inner treasury for the emperor.
After Zhu Di in the early dynasty, it also took almost a day to figure out how rich the property that his youngest son brought back to him, and after classifying all these belongings, he raised about 10 million taels of silver, plus the remaining 18 million taels of silver employment fees, a total of 30 million taels of silver, and established the Daming Scientific Research Foundation to support Daming's scientific research.
Today's Ming Royal Academy of Sciences is full of talents, and there are as many as 13 academicians selected, all of whom have been awarded knighthoods and enjoy the royal allowance of the Ming Dynasty.
This is not only a lot of income, but also a symbol of the highest honor.
Although the honorary president of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences is Zhu Gaoxian, the person in charge is Fang Xiaoru, who has just returned from Nanjing and has just entered the Academy of Sciences, and the person in charge of the front desk greeted him with relief.
"My lord, the father-in-law in the palace is here, saying that he has something important."
Fang Xiaoru wears many hats, Lang Guan, who is in charge of the Department of Education of the Ministry of Rites, the president of Southern University of Technology, and the head of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if he doesn't have time to study the literature he likes, he is still willing to work day and night and work hard for the education of the Ming Dynasty.
"Take me there!"
It was Huang Yan who came, who was talking to Guo Xuan in the reception room, and when he saw Fang Xiaoru appearing at the door, the two hurriedly got up to greet each other.
"Lord Fang, this is coming back from the south? It's hard work! Huang Yan said sincerely, after so many years, Fang Xiaoru's label of a loyal minister of the former dynasty is long gone, and the hardships he has paid for the education of the Ming Dynasty have also been seen.
"Do things for me, why talk about hard work? Huang Gonggong brought the emperor's will? "Fang Xiaoru is also not polite, this close minister around the emperor will not leave the palace easily.

[Daming: I, Zhu Di's fourth son] 【】
"The emperor just asked our family to take a look, and I want to ask Lord Fang to come forward and convene several university presidents to discuss, there is a sum of money in the palace, and I want to invest in the education of Daming and make more contributions to the development of scientific research."
When Fang Xiaoru and Guo Xuan heard this, they were very happy, the emperor attached so much importance to science, which was really a blessing for them.
"The minister will arrange it immediately, I don't know when the emperor will have time, the minister will take a few principals into the palace and obey the emperor's will."
Huang Yan was inevitably a little proud, "Lord Fang, this is not a small amount, His Royal Highness means, three sums of money, one for the Academy of Sciences, one for the education of the university, and one for the education of the university, and one is intended to be used to reward scientists who have made special contributions to the cause of scientific research, what is it called the Royal Scientific Research Award." ”
He said mysteriously, "This is not a small amount! ”
Fang Xiaoru was so excited that his hands were trembling, "I'll do this right away." ”
In the palace, on a good morning, Zhu Gaoxian was talking and chatting with his father.
He just added another son, because he was born a little weak, his nickname is Ahri, just full moon, at this time he was held in the arms of his father, while teasing the child, while casually humming twice, I don't know if I listened to him well.
"Dad, my son has been talking to you for a long time, have you listened to two sentences?"
Only then did Zhu Di raise his head and hand the child to the nurse, "Huh? Didn't you tell me that there are still fewer universities, and we should encourage more schools in the local area? How does this place open a school? Where does the money come from? ”
Zhu Di can understand his son's thoughts very well, "You still dislike that there are too few talents in the Ming Dynasty, but have you thought about it, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, the cultivation of this talent must be done slowly." ”
Zhu Gaoxian thought of the talents that Timur had collected from all over the country, and he sighed, although those people were talented, they were still some talents limited to the times after all, and this was not the talent he wanted.
With a sigh, Huang Yan came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Lord Qingjing of Honglu Temple asks to see you!" ”
What's going on with Jingqing lately?
Zhu Di was full of suspicion, when he got up, Zhu Gaoxian wanted to follow him, Zhu Di waved his hand in disgust, "You just came back, stay in the Chunhe Palace, accompany your princess and the children more, don't let the children not know you as a father." ”
"Yes!"
Disgusted, Zhu Gaoxian first went to Kunning Palace to ask the queen mother for peace, and saw some rare treasures on the table, Xu was thinking about what kind of jewelry to use these, Zhu Gaoxian came up with an idea for a while, and then said goodbye and slowly paced back to his palace.
He hadn't been so laid-back in a long time.
The door of Chunhe Palace was very lively, surrounded by a group of guards and eunuchs, as well as a few palace maids, who were shouting "come on" excitedly, and even Zhu Gaoxian came over, but he didn't notice it.
It wasn't until the dog coughed that some eunuchs realized something, raised their eyes, were taken aback, and knelt down to say goodbye.
In the middle of the circle, Zhu Gaoxian's eldest son was in a mess with a teenager of the same age, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxian, he hurriedly let go of his hand and came over to say goodbye.
"Is it a finch?" It is impossible for Zhu Gaoxian not to really know his son, yesterday, the family had already reunited once, he raised his hand to rub his son's hair, looked at the strange young man, his face was a little familiar, and asked, "This is your Uncle Zhang's child?" ”
