Chapter 153: This is a birthday gift for His Majesty the Emperor
Lao Zhu was dressed in civilian clothes, with a whip pinned to his waist, and stood in front of a private house diagonally opposite Guozijian with his waist crossed, stunned by the plaque on the gate.
"Ying Tianfu Hope Primary School?"
"What the hell is this, that grandson made such a big move, shouldn't he just want to build a primary school?"
Qin Deshun didn't know much about this, but fortunately, he had already buried his eyeliner here and did his homework in advance.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is said that this is mentioned by His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun, saying that he hopes that all children in the Ming Dynasty can afford to read......"
"This ......"
Lao Zhu was silent for a moment when he heard this explanation, he didn't know whether to praise this grandson's pride, or whether to say that he was beyond his strength.
Such a good thing even he, the emperor, dare not think of!
You must know that it is not easy for ordinary farmers to provide a scholar for several generations, so that all children in Daming can read, this idea is too whimsical.
However, after Lao Zhu heard this, the anger in his heart subsided a lot in an instant, and he was even faintly moved.
Dare to love this grandson digging into our corner, just want to build a school!
It's just that this grandson himself doesn't like to read, where did he get his face to run a school?
Lao Zhu kicked open the wooden door and walked into the small courtyard, only to hear a loud sound of reading inside.
Lao Zhu was in a happy mood when he heard the sound of children reading, which not only proved the cultural and educational achievements of the Ming Dynasty, but also highlighted the merits of the eldest grandson!
"How many students are there?"
"Back to the emperor, according to the informant's report, it is said that there are seven or eight hundred people."
"Shhh
Lao Zhu gasped in shock when he heard this number.
A primary school with seven or eight hundred students is simply unheard of and unseen!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed it if he was killed, and then the rebel grandson could quietly make such a big move.
"Where did he recruit so many people?"
Qin Deshun pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this.
"Jinyiwei's children account for more than half, and the rest are the children of nearby people."
"His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun should not be restrained from going to school here, and a free lunch is provided at noon, so many people flock to it."
"Hiss......"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again, such a big deal, even he, the emperor, was secretly speechless when he heard it.
Lao Zhu followed the voice to push open the door of a classroom, and the gentleman who was lecturing inside immediately paused when he saw someone coming in, and a group of elementary school students who were listening to the class also looked over.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little embarrassed when he saw this, but before he could explain, Mr. walked up with a smile.
"Dare to ask this old man, are you here to inspect the environment of our primary school for the grandson of the family?"
Lao Zhu nodded awkwardly when he heard this.
"We're really here to inspect for our grandson!"
When the gentleman heard this, he immediately gushed about it.
"It's not a secret, our primary school is the largest school in the capital except for Guozijian, and it was built by His Royal Highness King Wu.
"Your grandson is in the right place to study here."
"In less than ten years, you will have a talented man at home!"
Lao Zhu turned a deaf ear to Mr.'s flickering, he didn't even have to think about it, this must be the little rebel grandson's rhetoric to fool them.
Also an official......
If our emperor doesn't speak, who will give you an official?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the classroom, then retreated from the classroom, and then continued to walk along the corridor, looking at each classroom a few times.
Mr. and students have seen a lot, but they have not seen the little rebel grandson.
"Where's the rebel grandson?"
Qin Deshun didn't answer when he heard this, but casually stopped someone outside to inquire.
"Where's your headmaster?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard the word "principal", and when he came to this so-called Hope Primary School, he found that there were more and more things he didn't understand.
"You're looking for the principal, the principal is sleeping in the dormitory!"
"Dare to ask sir, where is the dormitory?"
"You go through the courtyard in front of you, and then you go west, and there's a red house, which we all call the Red House."
"Oooh!"
Qin Deshun inquired clearly, ran back upside down, and was about to repeat what he had just said, when he saw Lao Zhu interrupting.
"Needless to say, we're not deaf!"
Lao Zhu walked forward, planning to directly find Xiao Zhisun to chat, but when he passed by the courtyard in front of him, he was suddenly frightened by the sound of a "bell".
"What a sound!"
"Back to the emperor, it is said that the emperor and grandson have been working on a self-striking bell recently, maybe this is it?"
Lao Zhu Wenyan kicked open the door of the small courtyard again, only to see more than a dozen people pointing around the edge of a one-person-high wooden box.
"Now the function of the self-striking clock is realized, but the timing is still too inaccurate, and the clockwork can only last for a few hours before it is boring, and it still needs to be improved!"
"Master Zhang, do you have any thoughts about the spring?"
"We must hurry up, we must complete it before His Majesty's birthday, at least half of the effect said by His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun!"
"If we delay His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson to give a gift to His Majesty, then we are guilty of too much, and we are too sorry for His Highness's kindness!"
As soon as Lao Zhu heard that it was the birthday gift prepared for him by the rebel grandson, his heart felt as if he had eaten honey, and he only felt a burst of sweetness.
The person called Zhang Dajiang is a master craftsman seconded by Zhu Yunxi from the Silver Bureau.
If you paraphrase the saying of later generations, its craftsmanship is equivalent to that of an eighth-level fitter.
Just give him a drawing, and there's nothing he can't make.
However, for materials science, Zhang Dajiang is also helpless.
"Mr. Jiang, it's not that the old man shirks it, it's really the existing iron materials that can be made like this. If you want to be better, you have to find better iron. ”
"In this regard, you have to continue to experiment, when can you make the kind of steel that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun said, and the old man's craftsmanship can come in handy!"
Lao Zhu listened to a few people talking lively, and he also came up cheekily.
"Do you say this thing is a birthday gift for His Majesty the Emperor, but what is the name?"
A few people who were concentrating on research suddenly heard the stranger talking, and immediately looked back at him. Seeing that it was an old man in brocade clothes, they let down their guard.
"Back to this old gentleman's words, this thing is called the self-striking bell, which is a birthday gift prepared by His Royal Highness the Emperor for His Majesty the Emperor today."
"It's just that I'm stupid, I've been studying for a few days, and I've only made a prototype, and it's still far from the effect requested by His Royal Highness the Emperor!"
Lao Zhu Wenyan asked again.
"What is the final result of this thing?"
"According to His Royal Highness the Emperor, once this object is successfully developed, it will become extremely convenient to keep time, and there will no longer be a need to use hourglasses, sun shadows and other objects to keep time."
"You can know what time it is anytime and anywhere, and it can even be accurate to 1 in 7,200 of an hour......
"Hiss......"
Lao Zhu Wenyan took a deep breath again, this grandson really gave him more and more surprises, and he could even think of such a clever thing?
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you develop it slowly, even if the person on the emperor's birthday can't study it, it doesn't matter, His Majesty the Emperor won't blame it."
Lao Zhu comforted a few people with a smile, but as soon as he finished saying this, he was scolded by several people.
"If you say you're not in a hurry, you're not in a hurry!"
"This is His Royal Highness the Emperor's birthday gift to His Majesty the Emperor, and it is related to His Majesty's impression of His Royal Highness the Emperor!"
"If His Majesty the Emperor blames the Emperor and Sun, or dislikes the Emperor and Sun, then we can only atone for our sins with death!"
"Uh-uh......"
Lao Zhu was not a good-tempered person, but when he saw that the group of people in front of him were so ignorant, he immediately flicked his sleeves and left.
Qin Deshun hurriedly comforted him in the back.
"The emperor is not angry, they just don't know your identity, so they inadvertently offended you!"
"Humph!"
"A group of people who don't know what to do, and they have the same virtue as that rebel grandson!"
After Lao Zhu said this, he immediately saw a small red building in front of him, and secretly said in his heart that the eldest grandson should be here.
As soon as he walked over, he was stopped by two guards at the door.
"This is the resting place of His Royal Highness the Three Emperors and Suns, and idlers are forbidden to enter!"
As soon as Lao Zhu wanted to be angry, Qin Deshun took the first step and scolded.
"Bold!"
"Open your dog's eyes and see, this is our Emperor Majesty!"
When several guards heard this, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.
It's just that I can't help but complain in my heart, how can an emperor go out and dress like this, who can recognize it?
In fact, even if the emperor was wearing a dragon robe, ordinary guards could not easily see the emperor's true face.
The emperor went out either by car or in a sedan chair, and when the idlers looked at him from afar, it was enough to blow with others for a few years.
Therefore, it is very normal that they do not recognize the emperor's "appearance without makeup".
Lao Zhu didn't blame them, and praised them a few words.
"You're good!"
"As long as you protect our eldest grandson with your heart, glory and wealth are indispensable to you."
When several of the guards heard this, their faces immediately showed joy. This is the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor, and it will be realized one day!
"Thank you for your majesty's compliment!"
"Your Majesty is here to see His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun?"
"Let's go in and pass it on!"
"No need!"
Lao Zhu waved his hand to stop the guard, gently pushed the door and walked in.
The interior of the Red Mansion is very empty, there is not a single decent piece of furniture, and it should have all been moved away with the original owner.
There was only a large wooden table across the living room, with a few chairs on the side. There was a pile of manuscripts and some oddly shaped rulers on the table.
For example, a semicircular ruler, a triangular ruler, and so on.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a manuscript and looked at it, and saw that it was full of incomprehensible drawings, so he put it back in place again.
He took a few more steps inside, and suddenly he heard a familiar snoring, and as soon as he turned a screen, he saw the eldest grandson lying on the bed in his clothes, and he was asleep.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw such a scene, he only felt a sour nose.
This kid can't live in a good palace, so he has to move outside the palace in a hurry, because he just wants to secretly prepare a surprise and a birthday gift for our grandfather!
Lao Zhu silently withdrew from the room, stood in the courtyard outside the back building, looked at the sky and was silent for a long time.
At this moment, Lao Zhu's heart was full of emotion and self-blame.
Moved by the sincerity and filial piety of the eldest grandson, he blamed himself for his suspicions.
Didn't our eldest grandson just recruit a few more Guozi prisoners, and didn't he empty the Guozi Prison, and he was worried about a fart!
Hurry up and ask the eldest grandson if there is still a shortage of people, if the people of the Guozijian are not used, we will issue an order to let the prefectures and counties pay tribute to another batch of talents!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who provided you with the fiery chicken fir of the great god: We really don't want to be the emperor! Fastest update, in order for you to see the fastest update of this book next time, be sure to save your bookmarks!
