When deciding to set up a Ministry of Education and Science and Technology, it is necessary to consider the candidates for Shangshu.

This is going to enter the cabinet, but this is not over, and the emperor said: "I also want to set up the Ministry of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty." ”

“。。” Come on, the emperor added another ministry.

But this ministry is relatively simple, and the emperor didn't do any information, in fact, it was to set up a state-owned enterprise group to specialize in business and make money.

In the past, this piece was under the control of Mao Xiong, Mao Xiong was knighted after the rebellion, but there was no official position, the emperor has been preparing, and now it is almost time, and the rule is also stable, and he intends to formally establish the Ministry of Commerce.

"The Ministry of Commerce is not in the cabinet." Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: "It's the same as the headquarters and the general staff." ”

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaoxu actually wants to get a bank and reissue treasure money, but in recent years, he has been concentrating on education and is not in a hurry to do these things.

When education is up and people's wisdom is opened, it will be very easy for banks to fully promote it as soon as they are launched.

After Huang Fu and their discussion that day, they proposed that Huang Huai should concurrently serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Education and Science and Technology.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, these ministers of Daming are very bad, originally he wanted to add a cabinet, but they actually let the cabinet work part-time, so the number of cabinet members remained the same.

Of course, as the emperor, Zhu Gaoxu has the right to veto, and also has the right to personally appoint.

He certainly can't let the ministers challenge his authority, if they start today, they will gain an inch in the future.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that as soon as the cabinet was established, he would have to fight wits and courage with the ministers.

Fortunately, he changed a large number of cabinet members to his own people last year, otherwise it would have been even worse.

"The word "educational technology" simply means that it represents advanced ideas and concepts."

"What is advanced?"

"Reading Zihu also, holding thousands of years of Confucianism, is it called advanced?"

"Thousands of years ago there was no artillery, we have artillery now."

"Thousands of years ago, there was no white sugar, and now we eat white sugar."

"Thousands of years ago, you were all slaves, except for the chiefs."

"The times are advancing, and you are still holding thousands of years of Confucian classics to govern the country."

"You are first-class to Arutai Benya, to say that the original nature of human beings is good, to try? Let's see if they'll cut off their heads. ”

"You say to the eastern country Ashikaga Yoshitochi that the Heavenly Empire will try, and without my army, the trade between the eastern country and the Ming Dynasty will be cut off."

The emperor said directly: "Huang Huai is not suitable, his set is backward, let him engage in education, and the students he teaches are only servile." ”

Many ministers are thinking in their hearts, there is no servility, who recognizes you as the emperor.

Huang Fu had no choice but to say, and asked His Majesty to make it clear, which means, don't pretend to be the emperor, you can appoint it directly.

Zhu Gaoxu chose Shen Ji.

Everyone was confused, because most of them didn't know each other.

Shen Ji is the heir of Mengxi Bitan and the descendant of Shen Kuo.

During the Jingnan and Rebellion Wars, Shen Ji and his uncle Shen Jun were two people, one was responsible for teaching and imparting the knowledge of Mengxi Pen Talk, and the other helped Zhu Gaoxu to be responsible for logistics, especially practicing iron and artillery.

Shen Ji's disciple Wang Li is now a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he is also proficient in Mengxi writing.

At present, Shen Ji is still in Jiaozhi and is the political envoy of Jiaozhi.

No matter what Shen Ji did before, the emperor named him, so everyone naturally had no opinion.

At that moment, the emperor sent a decree to recruit Shen Ji back, and the imperial court did not plan to hand over the right political envoy candidate, this time Zhu Gaoxu deliberately did not designate, and was selected by the cabinet and the ministry, which was regarded as a return.

Due to the communication of this meeting, the back and forth notices will be given, and when Shen Ji arrives, it will be at least three or four months later.

Zhu Gaoxu first drafted two waiters from the Ministry of Education and Technology, Shen Jun, the left waiter, and his uncle and nephew together, which is even more rare in the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Sheng, the right attendant, was born in Zhu Gaoxu's own army in the past, and in Yunnan he and Shen Jun were in charge of land and logistics, and cast artillery.

Shen Jun and Sun Sheng began to set up the Ministry of Education and Science and Technology from now on.

The preparation for the establishment of the Ministry of Education and Science and Technology and the establishment of the school still caused a very strong shock after the announcement was made to all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, only a small number of people in the Ming Dynasty were able to read books and were qualified to read.

Now the imperial court pays for it, as long as you can come and sign up, you can get it.

For a time, the county governments responded like clouds.

Which common people's family doesn't want to have a reader.

Because at the beginning, the imperial court only accepted the county, and then gradually expanded the scale and went out.

Of course, the school and teachers have not yet done a good job, but the momentum has been created, and more and more people will rush to sign up.

The imperial court initially planned that the provincial political envoys and prefectures would open at the beginning of next year.

At the beginning of the next year, all counties will start school.

After the meeting that day, Emperor Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace, and when it was time for dinner, he called the whole family to eat together.

He doesn't have many concubines and children, so he has always had the habit of gathering the whole family to eat together every month.

It wasn't until the fourth year of Hong Xi that his concubine added another Chen Yan to show her reward for Chen Yan when she entered the palace as an undercover agent.

He currently has six sons and two daughters.

Miaojin helped him give birth to a son, Chen Yan gave birth to a daughter, and the queen Sun Ruonan and the concubine Xu Ying each gave birth to a son.

The eldest son, Zhu Zhanqi, is eleven years old, and Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhancheng are both the same age.

The youngest was only one year old.

Before eating, it was taken by his brother Zhu Zhanyu, except for the youngest daughter of one year, Zhu Zhanyu who was two weeks old, and other brothers and sisters took turns to see their father.

Zhu Gaoxu is very easy-going with the ministers, sometimes he doesn't care if the ministers forget to kneel, but he is very strict with his children, because the children must learn to respect their elders.

In recent years, the children's studies are still relatively tight, and they have learned more, like the three Zhan Yan brothers, who are basically able to write and martial arts, in addition to studying, they also have to ride horses and practice archery.

Among the three brothers, Zhu Zhanyan is the most like him, because Sun Ruonan also likes archery and horseback riding, and probably inherited the genes of his parents, archery and riding skills are good, and his strength is also quite big.

While eating, Zhu Gaoxu looked at several wives.

Similar to later generations, the wives now look at their children and basically pay little attention to the emperor.

Only Miaojin occasionally communicates with him with her eyes.

Among the wives, Miaojin is the most like a modern person, and she has her own thoughts, which can be seen from her reluctance to marry Zhu Di before.

Zhu Gaoxu usually summons the most attendants to sleep is also Miaojin.

Women always have jealousy, so Miaojin is the most unpopular in the palace, and only the Li family has a good relationship with her.

After eating, the palace maids and eunuchs brought tea and pastries, usually at this time when the emperor assessed the children's homework.

A few of the older children also stood by honestly and waited.

But unexpectedly, today the emperor shook his hand, motioned for them to sit down, and then called several ladies to the front.

Then he raised his hand and waved.

Suddenly, unrelated palace maids, eunuchs, and historians all left.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Sun Ruonan and the others, and said slowly: "The imperial court plans to build a primary and secondary school. ”

"In the second year of Hongxi, I was already prepared, and twenty of the counties had already prepared teachers and schools, and they could open this year as a pilot."

Sun Ruonan, Wei Mo'er, and Jing Shu were stunned at first, and then Sun Ruonan seemed to react, and his face changed greatly: "Does Your Majesty want them to leave Beijing?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Zhan Yan, Zhan Qi, Zhu Zhancheng, Min'er, the four of them go to three places,"

The emperor wanted three princes and a princess to study in three counties.

Several concubines at the scene were shocked, after all, they had been raised by their side for many years, and no one was at ease when they suddenly wanted to be released.

"Your Majesty, Zhan Qi is still young, Min'er is a girl's family?" Wei Mo'er was in a hurry, she was the most stupid and sweet one, she was completely a vase, if Wei Da hadn't been Zhu Gaoxu's confidant back then, where would she marry her.

Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that the concubines would object, so he immediately lowered his face: "I am informing you, not asking for your opinions." ”

The final word is not to be refused.

Wei Mo'er immediately hugged her son and wanted to cry.

The emperor glared at her fiercely, and she was too frightened to cry.

Sun Ruonan was better, she didn't care, her personality was originally like a man, and she nodded and said, "Children also need to be honed." ”

Jing Shu looked confused, she was also a little silly and sweet, but she was better than Wei Mo'er, more reasonable, she just looked at her son with heartache, her face was full of tiredness.

The emperor suddenly brought it up, and everyone was caught off guard.

"I will probably stay in Beijing for half a month, and they don't have to go to class in the last half a month, so have a good time and accompany you."

Several mothers hurriedly pulled their children to their side, and the rest of the children were still young, including Miaojin, who also hurried to see their two-year-old son.

It's as if the next moment, someone will snatch them away.

Then Zhu Gaoxu got up: "The four of you come with me." ”

He called his four sons and daughters aside.

Three of the four are eleven years old, and their daughter Zhu Min'er is the youngest, ten years old.

All four of them looked at their father nervously.

"You can still stay in the palace for two months, and when you leave after the New Year, you have to get rid of some habits in these two months, and you must always remind yourself that when you go to school in the future, you will no longer be a prince."

"I have prepared new parents and new identities for the four of you."

"You will keep your new identity firmly in your hearts from now on."

"Yes, Father." The four of them said in unison.

"Wrong, call father, or father, and the queen mother is too, from now on, you have to change your words."

"Yes, father." The four of them said in unison.

"A few things to keep in mind when you're out there."

"First of all, forget your status as a prince and learn to be humble and prudent."

"Don't cause trouble, but if others bully you, don't be afraid, whatever happens, tell your other parents first."

"Make more friends and experience the lives of ordinary people."

Zhu Gaoxu explained to his children and turned to leave.

As soon as the mother waited for the emperor to leave, she immediately hugged her son and sobbed, Wei Mo'er was crying, as if she was parting from life and death, and even Sun Ruonan cried, very reluctant.

However, Sun Ruonan has just given birth to a second child, at least he will have a companion in the future.

The emperor left the Qianqing Palace directly and the Huagai Palace.

After a while, the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Mao Xin come.

As Zhu Gaoxu said just now, he prepared for this matter in the second year of Hongxi, but there were not 20 counties, only 5 counties.

Talking about twenty counties is also to comfort the wives.

He didn't tell his wives where his children would go.

At this time, Mao Xin came over for this matter.

"Your Majesty." Mao Xin handed over a bunch of information, which was the preparation of five of the counties.
