Iron stove, honeycomb coal, grilled sweet potato, kebab......

There are also jobs such as wire and military uniforms that will be constantly outsourced, which is equivalent to an additional livelihood for the common people, or a channel to increase income.

Although the matter is small, it is also a gesture for Zhu Youxiao, but it is also a contribution to promoting the development of industry and commerce.

There are so many fields, and they are all cultivated. After the liquidation and occupation, it was only returned to the state, which increased the fiscal revenue, but it could not resettle more people.

Although it is a bit nonsense to talk about increasing employment opportunities and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. But if you do it, it will have an effect, even if it is only for a small part of the people to get benefits, it is worth it.

Besides, grilled sweet potatoes and kebabs are also delicious!

Zhu Youxiao put down the skewer, chewed the pure mutton, and reminisced about the distant memory - if only there were two more bottles of beer!

"Brother Huang." The eighth princess, Zhu Huiyuan, looked at the emperor's elder brother and asked, "Are the textbooks taught by the Shaoying Academy all compiled by the imperial brother?" ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't like the ancient way of education very much, so he sent Zhu Youzhen to Zongxue and sent the imperial sister to Shaoying Academy, which was his innovation.

Learning new knowledge is one of them, and the more you have contact with people, the more you can understand the suffering of the people. Self-reliance is not an extravagant hope now, but don't become a "why not eat minced meat" generation.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, aristocratic education should not be the kind of private cushion type that is locked in the house, and receiving civilian education should be the right choice.

Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, the textbooks are all written by me, and they are all practical knowledge. ”

Oh, the eighth princess pursed her mouth, blinked her big eyes and smiled: "The imperial brother is erudite and talented, and the younger sister is studying in the Shaoying Academy, and she feels that she has grown a lot." ”

Zhang Yan covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and chuckled twice. Obviously, I don't want to learn, but I still have to pat my brother's ass, this little girl is quite clever.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, looked at Xiao Wu Zhu Huiyan and Xiao Liu Zhu Huijing, and said, "I have a reason for doing this. Although you are royal princesses, you are not harmless to receive civilian education. ”

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao added: "After studying in the Shaoying Academy for a long time, you will find that in addition to your background, compared with the common people, there is not much superiority. ”

Saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiaoba Zhu Huiyuan and asked, "Are you the smartest in the class?" ”

Zhu Huiyuan shook her head and said, "There are several children who are very smart, and I suspect that they are monsters. ”

Monster? Is it a genius or not.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and then asked, "Then are you the most diligent and studious in the class?" ”

"Not really." Zhu Huiyuan replied, looking a little frustrated, and lowered her head.

Zhang Yan blinked her big eyes and glanced at her husband thoughtfully.

Zhu Youxiao said: "It's nothing. I'm not the smartest, the hardest-working, but it's important to recognize that. ”

"It's been a long time, I've missed you." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, ended the topic, and said with a smile: "I called you here today to have a party and have fun." Fifth sister, sixth sister, eighth sister, don't you want to toast the royal brother? ”

Zhang Yan added with a smile: "Toast to Your Majesty, but there is a reward!" ”

The three princesses immediately smiled and became happy. But they all still know etiquette, and no one comes up to fight.

The fifth princess, Zhu Huiyan, picked up the drink, stepped forward, bowed and toasted: "The fifth sister congratulates the royal brother, wishes the imperial brother Long good health, and wishes the Ming Dynasty a prosperous country." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhu Youxiao raised his glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "In a few years, it will be time to give the fifth sister a title." Well, that's what I rewarded you. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned, and the palace man presented a small box with a prism inside.

Xiao Wu retreated, and Xiao Liu and Xiao Eight stepped forward to toast and congratulate in turn, and they all received the same reward.

Watching the three little girls open the box and fiddle with it, they all looked very confused.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, took the prism given to Queen Zhang Yan, got up and came to the window, and said, "Look, I will do a magic trick for you." The truth will be learned in the Shaoying Academy in the future. ”

As he spoke, adjusting the angle of the prism in his hand, Zhu Youxiao turned sideways, letting the sunlight shine obliquely, and passed through the prism in his hand.

Wow! Yes!

The three princesses' eyes widened and they let out incredible startled sounds. Even Zhang Yan opened her mouth slightly, revealing a look of surprise and surprise.

A strange seven-colored brilliance was reflected on the walls of the hall, like a brilliant rainbow, across the sky.

Zhu Youxiao turned and moved the prism again, adjusting the shape and position of the colorful colors, and then returned to the table with a triumphant smile and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the eighth princess trotted over and raised the prism in the same way as the imperial brother. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were also impatient, and ran to the sunlight in front of the window to shake the treasures in their hands.

Turning left and right, walking forward and backward, the three princesses found the trick more or less quickly.

One, two, three, with the seven-colored brilliance flashing in the hall, a burst of cheerful laughter sounded in the brilliant colors.

In the East Palace, the rainbow hangs on the wall, Concubine Wang Liang is smiling and admiring, and someone from the palace has come to report that the large bathtub built by Banzai has been delivered.

The big bathtub - Concubine Wang Liang remembered the fragrance of the mandarin ducks playing in the water that day, and couldn't help but dye her cheeks red and bite her red lips.

In the West Palace, the neon swept across, and Concubine Duan Chun held her cheeks in her hand and watched stupidly.

She seemed to see the first sunny day after the mist and rain in her hometown, but she didn't see that the palace maid's arm was sore, and she was grinning hard.

In Changchun Palace, seven-colored lights are flying, and crisp laughter is non-stop.

Concubine Zhang Yu watched her little sister playing crazy, and couldn't help but caress her lower abdomen, with a happy smile on her face.

It won't be long before a smaller child runs and plays happily like this, right?

In the Qianqing Palace, Li Chengcheng was no one watching, dangling the prism, and he was having a lot of fun.

Hey? Yes! This baby turned out to be able to turn sunlight into a rainbow, Li Chengcheng chuckled, picked up Xiaobai, who was spinning under his feet, and kissed him fiercely.

I only learned it after secretly watching the emperor fiddle with it once, and I was so smart.

You stupid cat, but you can't even tell yourself in the mirror. Rubbing Xiaobai's head vigorously, Li Chengcheng was full of a sense of superiority.

……………………… Divider..................

It is almost late autumn in the north, and the south of the Yangtze River is still full of birds and flowers, without a trace of gloomy scenes.

Crab, rice wine, Dongpo meat, osmanthus lotus, plus a bowl of refreshing boiled dried shreds, Li Dan and Yan Siqi leaned against the window to drink, at ease.

"I'm getting better at eating." Yan Siqi also had to admire, a few seemingly simple dishes, but they are all famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and the combination is quite exquisite.

Li Dan smiled, took a sip of rice wine, and said: "Crab meat is rice wine, and the meat is more delicious." As he spoke, he looked out the window and said with emotion: "The beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is even more relevant!" ”

Yan Siqi also sighed that when he was in the Wa Kingdom, he never dreamed that there would be such a situation. The biggest feeling now is that I am down-to-earth.

And making money doesn't seem to be so important anymore. It's okay as much as you want, as long as you don't lose it, it's fun. Besides, I really haven't lost anything.

"What a great place to be!" Yan Siqi swallowed Dongpo meat and said, "When I have time, I will live there for a while." Three or five friends, go into the mountains to hunt, drink around the fire, it is really a pleasure. ”

Li Dan smiled and said, "It is estimated that in another year, the people below will be able to support the beams, and the errand will also be able to satisfy Banzai." When the time comes, I will also find a good place to enjoy leisure. ”

Yan Siqi nodded and said: "Basically, you and I don't have to worry about the affairs of sea trade, but the bank that will be opened next year will also be abolished and changed to yuan, but it is to help Banzai do it well." ”

Transporting grain to Liaojitai, selling mirrors, silk, porcelain, sugar, and tea in the Wa Kingdom, and then buying back copper and sulfur, not only made money, but also was an instruction for long live.

These don't need to be done by Li Dan and Yan Siqi personally, just hand them over to Li Guozhu, Yang Tiansheng and others to manage.

Li Dan gently sipped the rice wine and said slowly: "Long live has a rare good impression of Jiangnan businessmen, and when you open a bank and issue silver coins, you are also mainly wary of them. I don't think it's too much to worry about. ”

"Long live the one you're worried about-" Yan Siqi scratched his head before he remembered the new term and said, "Run, it's not very likely." But I'm also afraid that in case, it's better to be prepared. ”

Looking at Li Dan, Yan Siqi said: "Gather the financial resources of the maritime merchants and mint more silver dollars, can the Jiangnan merchants still compete with us?" ”

In the folk of the Ming Dynasty, how much silver there is, just according to the circulation in the market, it is definitely not easy to count. Because it is already a deep-rooted habit for individuals to hide gold and silver, or even copper coins.

If you really want to hit the credibility of the bank, Jiangnan businessmen took out a huge amount of money to make a move when exchanging silver taels and silver coins, which is indeed a move that has to be guarded against.

Li Dan smiled and bowed his head and said, "So, you and I will write to Banzai, please aim to build a mint in Shanghai or Nanjing, and save the cost of transportation back and forth." In this way, it can get more support from maritime merchants. ”

Yan Siqi agreed, and said: "This request is reasonable, and it is also for the sake of the imperial court, long live should agree." ”

Li Dan toasted each other, and the two cups touched each other, representing a consensus.

Drinking wine and eating meat, the relationship between the two seems to be much closer and more harmonious.

"And the Dutch." Li Dan did not forget to remind Yan Siqi, "Long live is very disgusting, and there are also some taboos. But if the Dutch dare to threaten to use force, Banzai is sure to go to war with them. ”

Yan Siqi touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I have already agreed to trade and mutual markets, and the Dutch are still not satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied?" Li Dan shook his head and said: "More than ten years ago, they occupied Penghu, not just for the mutual market, but to have a foothold in the East China Sea like the Portuguese. This is not the same as building a business hall. ”

"Garrison to park the ship, this really can't be promised." Yan Siqi narrowed his eyes and smiled again, "Just with Hongmaoyi, at most a dozen boats and a thousand soldiers, dare to start a war with Daming?" ”

Li Dan didn't smile, the expression on his face was quite solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "You just said just in case, be prepared!" The Hongmaoyi ship has few soldiers, but it cannot be taken lightly. ”
