Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Renaissance Begins

Because the saying "do what you want from your heart" is said by Confucius, Lu Chang and Gao Qi did not dare to object when they heard it.

"Open your mouth and shut Mr. Qin, your respect for him is about to catch up with me." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But what the sage said is indeed very good, the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he can have a clear conscience in everything, and he doesn't need to worry too much." In order to take care of other people's feelings, are you tired of wearing a mask all day long? What we hate the most are those hypocrites who do everything on the surface and behind the scenes. ”

"And we do the same, we use thunderous means against those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and we are not afraid that the historians will be recorded in the history books."

"Your Majesty, that Mr. Qin, as a teacher, thinks it's inappropriate to teach students to do what they want." Gao Qi said, "Children are playful by nature, if they follow the idea of playfulness in their hearts, won't it delay their studies? ”

"Master Gao, your words are biased." Zhu Chun said, "Have you forgotten the three words "don't exceed the rules?" "Yi" said: Tianxingjian gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, and for schoolchildren, self-improvement is also the most basic rule that cannot be surpassed. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is well-read and strong, and the old minister admires it." Gao Qidao. He has a good relationship with Song Lian, and he has always wanted to fight for Song Lian, and wanted to target Mr. Qin, who robbed Song Lian of the position of Prince and Prince, but he didn't expect to be easily resolved by the King of Shu.

I remember that the King of Shu was not so powerful before, why did he follow that Mr. Qin for a few days like a different person? Gao Qi was surprised.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the king of Shu is a prince, and it is still a little inappropriate to do business on the street...... Lu Chang admonished again, wanting Zhu Yuanzhang to stop Zhu Chun, "The people are talking about the prince and the household department on the street, this is ...... What kind of system? ”

"Lord Lu." Zhu Chun said, "What if I say that from now on, the food and clothing of the Shu Wangfu will not need to be allocated by the household department?" ”

The food and clothing of the royal family members are all allocated by the household department, and it is also a large expense for the household department. And the reason why Zhu Chun did this was to get the household department to no longer object to him doing business at the expense.

Lu Chang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is also ...... There is nothing wrong with that. ”

"Lu Chang, your face has changed too fast, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfiedly, "In order to save some money for the household, you don't even want your face?" You...... You're too greedy for money. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is indeed greedy for money, but the old minister is not greedy for himself but for the people of the world." Lu Chang said, "The reason why Lao Chen objected at the beginning was because the King of Shu was selling soap to make money for himself, and it was not beneficial to Daming at all. And now the king of Shu doesn't want the money of the household department, which saves expenses for the household department. The household department will have more money to support the country's development of agriculture, water conservancy, and relief for the victims......"

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has done this, bringing benefits to the people of the world, and of course the old minister no longer objects."

"You're sincere." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Lao Chen is seventy-five this year, and he must also learn from the saint and do what he wants." Lu Chang said, "The old minister will boldly say what he thinks in his heart, and he is not afraid of the emperor's punishment." No matter whether the emperor scolds the old minister for being greedy for money or treacherous, as long as the old minister does not violate the most basic rule for the sake of the people of the world. ”

"You're a fast learner, too." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "What about you?" ”

"The minister also feels that this matter should not only not be punished by the king of Shu, but should also be vigorously rewarded." Gao Qi said, "Let other princes and princesses learn from the King of Shu and no longer use the silver of the ministry." ”

"With our hard work to build this Ming Dynasty, our sons and daughters can't enjoy any benefits from the country?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "You still want them to support themselves and earn their own money?" ”

"Minister, don't dare." Gao Qi hurriedly explained, "The minister just thinks that the King of Shu is very capable and worthy of learning from other princes and princesses......

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Shen Wansan asks to see you." At this time, a subordinate stepped forward and said to Zhu Chun.

"This Shen Wansan has a smart nose, and when he heard that the soap sold by the King of Shu was better than all the soaps, he immediately smelled the smell of silver, and he really deserved to be the first merchant in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Father, do you want to cooperate with him?" Zhu Chun stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"You are in charge of your own affairs, and if you want to be a businessman like Lu Buwei, you should be able to see the stakes of cooperating with him." Zhu Yuanzhang said to the two ministers beside him, "Let's go, let's drive back to the palace." ”

……

As soon as he walked into the Fengtian Temple, he saw the ministers whispering.

At this moment, above the court, there is an extra young woman, with a peerless appearance and gorgeous clothes, showing the royal style, it is Zhu Yingrao, the princess of Ningguo.

couldn't help frowning: "Ying'er, without our will, what are you doing in the court?" ”

"Father, the son wants the Hanlin Academy to help the son print a book, so I have come to ask my father for an order." Zhu Yingrao knelt down and saluted.

"Printing books?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, "Do you know how to write a book?" There are so many great Confucians in the court who have not published books, so you want to print them? Are you more learned than they are? ”

In ancient times, the printing of books was a very important matter, and it was necessary to be a Confucian with a high degree of learning and prestige to be qualified to be printed by the imperial court. Of course, there are also those that are printed in the private sector at their own expense, but they have no influence.

Princess Zhu Yingrao of Ningguo is not only not a Confucian, but also a woman.

Therefore, when the ministers heard this, they were also surprised. In terms of knowledge, Princess Ning Guo is completely unqualified.

Obviously, the ministers of the Hanlin Academy will not agree to her request, unless it is Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

"Father, the son-in-law doesn't want to print the books he wrote, and the son-in-law doesn't have that much knowledge, the son-in-law wants to print Mr. Qin's books." Zhu Yingrao said, "During the period when Erchen studied with Mr. Qin, I listened to many stories he told, such as "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and "Breaking the Sky", and Erchen felt that every story told by Mr. was fascinating, and people wanted to listen to the second paragraph after listening to the first paragraph......

"And when Mr. Qin told us about the History of the World, there must be a Renaissance before the Industrial Revolution. The role of the Renaissance was to emancipate the minds of the people, to advocate individuality against ignorance......"

"Only when the mind is emancipated, can the people's creativity be greatly enhanced, and they can accept new things, thus starting the industrial revolution."

"Erchen thinks that Mr. Qin's "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and "Breaking the Sky" are ...... If it is printed as a book, I am afraid it will become the pioneering work of my Ming Dynasty to realize the Renaissance. Just like the "Divine Comedy", "Decameron" and "The Legend of the Giant" in the West. Moreover, Mr. Qin will also talk about the god of war and the domineering president, which can contribute to the renaissance of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and "Breaking the Sky" told by Mr. are fascinating, and the imagination is rich, unheard of and unseen. Erchen guessed that "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is better than "Divine Comedy", right? The artistic value of "Breaking the Sky" is always higher than that of "Decameron", and the literary value of "Covering the Sky" must surpass that of "The Legend of the Giants"

Princess Ningguo wants to start a renaissance for the Ming Dynasty? The ministers were dumbfounded.
