Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhu Tan.

He put his hands behind his back with a slight sigh and sighed: "Uncle Ten, there is a monkey riding on the tree, and there are seven monkeys on the ground, a total of two, two ......"

Raising his hand, Zhu Xiongying stretched out two fingers.

Shook in front of Zhu Tan, two, two, two!

"Hey, my Zhu family is unlucky, there is a vassal king like you who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, how can you protect me in the future!"

Zhu Tan scratched his head and said angrily: "Impossible, you are cheating!" Again, you ask one more! ”

Zhu Xiongying shook his head again and said seriously: "Okay, then I'll give you another chance!" ”

"Seven monkeys in the tree and one monkey on the ground, a total of ......"

"Two!"

"Two, two, two!"

This time, Zhu Tan rushed to answer again.

He snorted coldly, crossed his hands on his hips and said angrily: "You just test the prince with this question?" What prince can't afford such a test! It's insulting to my King Lu's majesty, if you want to ask, just ask......"

"Uncle Ten, ......"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Tan, who was shaking his majesty, and looked at him with eyes that cared for a mentally handicapped child and said, "There are seven monkeys on the tree and one monkey on the ground, how many are there in total?" ”

"That's ...... of course"

Zhu Tan's body trembled suddenly, he took two steps back, his eyes trembled, his lips hummed, and he whispered, "Eight, eight!?" ”

He raised his hand and counted on his fingers: "Seven on the tree, it's seven, it's not a ride, seven plus one......"

Zhu Tan took a few steps back suddenly, glared at Zhu Xiongying angrily, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "How is it possible, you are cheating, you frame me with words, how can riding and seven be confused?" Do you know that there are four ways to write the word riding......"

Zhu Xiongying pulled his hand away, looking aggrieved, his hands spread out and his lips were full of innocent expression: "I can't read." ”

……

Midday.

After having lunch with Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang was rarely able to spare some time to sit in Zhu Xiongying's small courtyard.

"Grandpa Huang, you see, this is the mirror and glass, after you established the Royal Glass Factory, you will Guang Lai Xun and your relatives into shares, this thing is not affordable for ordinary people in the short term, but with the popularization of technology, sooner or later it will become popular in the world."

Zhu Xiongying said to Zhu Yuanzhang while taking out a booklet.

"This book has been how to raise shares to build a factory, how to pay dividends to write clearly, and there is a way to protect the environment, the book has both the Tang and Song Dynasty shares and dividends, there are also new dividend methods, after the glass and mirrors are made, not only can be sold to the noble ministers, but also to overseas countries, Mongolian princes."

"Mongol princes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying suspiciously.

"Grandpa Huang, don't underestimate these extravagant things."

"You also know that the spies of Jinyi Wei have already found out that many of our emperor Ming Xungui secretly formed a horse team to trade with Mongolian Xifan, sold iron pot silk tea, and made a lot of profits...... Like mirror glass and other extravagant high-end things, Mongolian princes and nobles will be happy, they will try their best to exploit the people of the Northern Yuan, from our emperor Ming to buy all kinds of extravagant things, then the extravagant things go to the Northern Yuan, and the Northern Yuan gold, silver, cattle and horses are all into the emperor's Ming, don't you hear that 'planting mulberry misleads the country'? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's narrow eyes narrowed, and he ordered the attendants around him to stay away, and also brought a wooden bench to sit down next to Zhu Xiongying, there was a mulberry tree in this small courtyard, he raised his head and looked at the big mulberry tree, and said with a smile: "Xiongying, you tell the imperial grandfather honestly, this knowledge is really what you learned in your dreams?" ”

Zhu Xiongying stretched out his hand and waved it to drive away the mosquitoes and flies flying around, and asked nonchalantly: "So what?" Isn't it? ”

"My grandson is just a son of the Han family who wants me to be far away from the Han Dynasty."

"Good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and touched Zhu Xiongying's head, and said: "You have compiled a simplified character manual and a basic mathematics manual, and you also suggested that Taixue should be reopened to train Xu officials and specialists, these policies have been implemented by the emperor and grandfather, and the DPRK and China are not so peaceful......"

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson knows that in the past few days, three groups of spies have come to explore my fiction and reality, and they have all been properly solved by Zhou Daban, which is still discovered, and I don't know how many in the shadows." ”

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the small courtyard in the distance, the harem concubines who accompanied Queen Ma.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed.

Zhu Xiongying casually picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the distance, bang, the small stone in his hand was like a hidden weapon, and it was directly embedded in the fence stake, and Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Zhu Xiongying grinned and said: "Grandpa Huang, you are just worried about the safety of your grandson, didn't your grandson move out of the East Palace, I haven't been a vegetarian here this month, my grandson not only insists on maintaining health every day, but also follows Zhou Daban to learn martial arts. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't cry or laugh, his eldest grandson was interesting.

"Then in your dreams, there is still an eight-year-old catastrophe?"

Zhu Xiongying was stunned, he sat down with a bitter face, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Huang, you use heavy punishment on civil officials and village officials, they are all afraid of you, but you also know that you can't be too cruel to them, otherwise my emperor won't be able to collect the grain tax, so my father uses Huairou means, and you Bodhisattva King Kong angrily uses thunder means, which is good, but you haven't thought about a problem......"

"These civil officials and officials, many of them are heirlooms of the tenth generation of Confucianism, as long as our descendants Emperor Zhu Ming still use Confucianism, their Confucianism will become a huge party sooner or later, you and Dad, they can't control it, it is inevitable that they will pay attention to me, for example, Fang Xiaoru ......"

"The eight-year-old catastrophe of my grandson is actually based on my Ming Dynasty's policy of governing the country, if my emperor's national policy is beneficial to them, my grandson will naturally be free of illness and disaster, if my emperor's national policy is not good for them......"

Zhu Xiongying didn't finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his mouth and bit his back molars, looked at Mao Xiao and other Jinyi guards in the distance, and said: "Grandson, don't worry, the knife is in our hands, as long as we can move, these dog officials can't bully you!"

Fang Xiaoru was recommended by Song Lian and Song Lian last year, and came to see Zhu Yuanzhang with a letter this year, and composed two poems dedicated to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Originally, in the original time and space, Fang Xiaoru's poems were not taken by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he was sent back.

But in this time and space, Fang Xiaoru's teacher Song Lian personally wrote a letter recommending him to the crown prince Zhu Biao, asking the prince Zhu Biao to find an errand for him, Zhu Biao pushed him to Zhu Yuanzhang, and after a conversation, he found that Fang Xiaoru was a reading seed, so he asked him to read to the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying first.

In fact, when it comes to erudition, Fang Xiaoru's talent is not considered a Boru, but his teacher Song Lian is the teacher of the four sages of eastern Zhejiang, the prince Zhu Biao, and this golden sign makes Zhu Yuanzhang also have to pay attention to it.

How can an ordinary Confucian scholar be qualified to write a letter to Zhu Biao?

This companion reading is actually the future six books, which will leave and right the prime minister's reserve talents.

Zhu Xiongying saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's hair was gray, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but now he was subject to the limitations of the times, the township officials deceived the county officials, the county officials deceived the prefect, and the prefect deceived the imperial court, and the township officials colluded with the businessmen, "the officials can't fight the officials, and the officials are subject to the businessmen", and even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the businessmen have become a very huge force, and the eight locust merchants in Shanxi can directly sell the country and affect the national fortunes...... Now what the Ming court can really grasp is actually the military generals and nobles, the Ming Dynasty founding heroes group, who have a very high loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang, relying on the deterrence of force to maintain the balance of the whole world and ensure the dignity of the imperial power.

After the Baozong made a return in the Tumu Fort and the military generals and nobles were wiped out, the imperial power could no longer compete with the civilian group, because the civilian officials had firmly held the military department in their hands.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of national policies, which seemed too harsh in the time and space of his previous life, for example, when officials committed crimes, they wore shackles and shackles to work, and the officials' salaries were extremely low...... However, with the limitations of his vision in this era, the methods that can make the officials clear are really limited.

And these policies are cool to oppress civil officials at this time, and when they come to the future, they all have to be paid back by Zhu Ming's younger generations......

"Grandpa Huang, let's open a new Taixue, we must specialize in cultivating all kinds of officials, and also grant them official positions in the future, let the low-level officials be used by me, cultivate more good families, so that there are new forces in the court to speak, and then grasp the gun, my emperor and Ming Dynasty can be stable."

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, the imperial grandfather, you don't have to work too hard, grasp the big and let go of the small, you should explain the policy, after all, the specific implementation is to look at the civil officials and villagers, you and your father should do a good job of supervision, send more inspectors to the school brocade guards, sit on the secret spy, inspect the implementation of the policy in various places, improve the treatment of some officials who do things seriously, catch a batch of a batch, the supervision is in place, you can also easily take some time to accompany the imperial grandmother......"

Zhu Xiongying lowered her eyelids, pinched the corners of her clothes and looked at her toes silently: "I get up very early every day, and I can often see the imperial grandmother practicing alone in the imperial garden in the morning, she often walks alone in the garden, and occasionally sits in the pavilion in front of her, looking at the direction of Fengtian Palace, just like that, alone, looking at you......"
